Spring Sun is a rare and expensive item that you can make in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. There are a lot of ingredients needed to make Spring Sun, so be prepared to stock up on a lot of Flower variations throughout the year!

In the other Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon Games, the Suns could be used in the greenhouse so that you could plant the crops from that particular season.

However, you don’t have a greenhouse in the Switch remake of Friends of Mineral Town – so the purpose of the Sun items are mainly for completion and selling to Huang for a nice profit.

Where To Learn the Recipe

Lou is the visitor from the Forgotten Valley that appears in Mineral Town after you offer 75 gifts to the Harvest Goddess. You can visit her in her room on the 2nd floor of Dudley’s Inn every Sunday.

Lou offers to teach the farmer the recipe for Spring Sun.

Befriending Lou will prompt her to teach you a new recipe each time you visit. She has a total of 10 new recipes to teach you. There are prerequisites for learning a new recipe, though!

Lou will only teach you the recipe for Spring Sun once you’ve successfully cooked at least any nine of the following dishes before visiting her:

How To Sell Spring Sun

Any dishes made in your kitchen can’t be shipped through Zack and the Shipping Bin. The Sun Stones aren’t food, but they can only be sold to Huang. You can start selling items to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell a Sun Stone to Huang, stand in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite, as it will register as a gift instead.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding a Spring Sun Stone.

Huang will then offer you a price, which you can actually reject for a chance at getting him to bid higher.

The price range for Spring Sun is anywhere between 2800 G and 3700 G.

If Huang offers you 3000 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.

Huang offers to buy a Spring Sun Stone from the farmer.

Keep in mind that his bids will never go lower or higher than this defined range, so 3700 G is the maximum price you can get for selling a Spring Sun.
