He&#8217;s a chef hired by Isabelle to cook for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8124\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/franklin.jpg\" alt=\"Franklin: I'm the guy they call Franklin.

It&#8217;s up to me to find all the ingredients he needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8125\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Franklin: But here's the thing...

He told me I needed vinegar, an oyster, some seaweed, plus a secret ingredient if I wanted to make it spectacular. Of the potential ingredients he will need for his various dishes, some can be caught or found in town&#8211;such as fish, fruit, or mushrooms. But others are things you&#8217;ll need to get from villagers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By visiting the indoor animals, you&#8217;ll find that they are cooking and they will need certain ingredients (I think it&#8217;s always a type of fish) for their own dishes. Catch the fish they need, and they&#8217;ll give you a different ingredient in return: Fruit, a mushroom, sugar, vinegar, milk, butter, and so on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8126\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/aurora-lemon.jpg\" alt=\"Aurora: You'll trade with me?

You&#8217;ll use it when a recipe calls for honey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8127\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/tammy-beehive.jpg\" alt=\"Tammy: I'm going to let you take this beehive with you!\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/tammy-beehive.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/tammy-beehive-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/tammy-beehive-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>When you make an exchange with them, they&#8217;ll also clue you in on what the secret ingredient is for a certain dish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Along the way, I stopped to shoot down a balloon present.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8128\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pop-11-28-13.jpg\" alt=\"Shooting down a balloon present.\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pop-11-28-13.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pop-11-28-13-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/pop-11-28-13-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>A lot of item shuffling is involved, because you&#8217;ll be doing a lot of fishing for certain fish. And I didn&#8217;t want to sell the extras, because even if a fish wasn&#8217;t needed at this moment, it could be needed next time. So I was going back and forth to my storage quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But Tabby eventually gave me the vinegar I needed, and I went diving for the oyster and seaweed. So I took the ingredients to Franklin, and he was able to make the oyster salad. Let&#8217;s get cooking!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8129\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lets-get-cooking.jpg\" alt=\"Franklin: Let's get cooking!\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lets-get-cooking.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lets-get-cooking-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/lets-get-cooking-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Lemon was the secret ingredient, but I didn&#8217;t have it in my possession when I took the main three ingredients to Franklin. That was a mistake, because once you give him the three main ingredients, it&#8217;s too late. You can&#8217;t add the secret ingredient later on, and this ended up costing me. But still, the first dish was complete, and he rewarded me with a harvest clock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The next dish on the menu was a mushroom bisque. I needed a round mushroom, a flat mushroom, and milk. The mushrooms were easy, since I saved some ahead of time. And Tabby provided me with her milk&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8130\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/tabby-milk.jpg\" alt=\"Tabby: Yay!

He whipped up the mushroom bisque and he said it was outstanding. He rewarded me with this fruit basket.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8131\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit-basket.jpg\" alt=\"The fruit basket I got from Franklin during the harvest festival.\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit-basket.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit-basket-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/fruit-basket-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Next on the menu was the main course. He made sure to point out that people don&#8217;t need to eat turkey just because it&#8217;s the harvest festival.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8132\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/franklin-no-turkey.jpg\" alt=\"Franklin: I don't understand how people can use the Harvest Festival as an excuse to eat turkey, so I need...\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/franklin-no-turkey.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/franklin-no-turkey-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/franklin-no-turkey-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>I gathered the ingredients for the pan-fried red snapper (<em>very tasty<\/em>) and he cooked it up as well. Yay! My reward this time was a harvest mirror.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8133\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/yay.jpg\" alt=\"Franklin and I celebrate a successful main course.\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/yay.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/yay-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/yay-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>And last but not least, it was time for dessert: Coconut tart. I grabbed a coconut from the beach to go with a lemon, sugar, and honey for the secret ingredient. And with that, we were done! The entire meal was finished!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8134\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/four-course.jpg\" alt=\"All four dishes are complete!\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/four-course.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/four-course-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/four-course-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>My final reward was a harvest sofa. Apparently, you can get a cornucopia if you include the secret ingredients for all four dishes. I stupidly missed out on that this time, but I&#8217;ll get it next year!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So the fruit basket and cornucopia are really the only two exclusive items you can get from the harvest festival (since the harvest furniture set is sold in the Nooklings&#8217; store anyway). That&#8217;s a bit disappointing that there isn&#8217;t a new furniture set you can get. It&#8217;s a lot of work just for two items.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And most of that work is fishing, by the way.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jvgsjeff\/status\/406153424338571264\" target=\"_blank\">As I tweeted<\/a>\u00a0during the day, it almost feels like a fishing tournament more than a harvest festival. The animals all want different types of fish, and it can be time-consuming searching for a certain fish. And even when you catch it, they may give you an ingredient you don&#8217;t need, and you have to start the search all over again for a different fish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, I do appreciate that Nintendo put in the effort to make the harvest festival a new experience. In City Folk, the harvest festival was almost identical to the one from the GameCube game (except for not having to swipe the forks\/knives from the table, which may have been the best part). City Folk even used long stretches of identical text from the GameCube game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I am glad they finally tried something new, even if the rewards don&#8217;t seem worth the effort. And they did include a nice reference to the old harvest festivals, with Franklin mentioning how he used to be deathly afraid of forks and knives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8135\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/forks-knives.jpg\" alt=\"Franklin: And to think, not long ago, I was deathly afraid of forks and knives. I'll eat with my fingers, thank you!\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/forks-knives.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/forks-knives-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/forks-knives-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>This festival also made a mess of my town. I was juggling my inventory all over town (that may be a poorly-worded sentence), but I ended up with items all over the place. Here you can see the items I dumped on the ground near the plaza, but there were many others left on river banks all around Forest. Tomorrow will be clean-up day, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8136\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/mess.jpg\" alt=\"The mess of items left behind after my harvest festival experience.\" width=\"400\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/mess.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/mess-250x150.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/newleafblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/mess-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>That&#8217;s all for now.
