Ronald (HoLV)

Ronald (ロナルド, Ronald) is a character in Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley.

Ronald is a dark skinned, cheerful man with a loud voice. He loves to eat a lot and be merry. He is always looking for cooked items to buy at his store. He owns and manages the Grocery Store in the valley, wherein you can buy all sorts of food items to restore your fatigue and stamina and also some ingredients for cooking. Ronald spends almost all of his time at his store and sometimes could use a hand looking after his chickens during the day.

Ronald's Grocery Store

 * Working hours: 8am – 6pm


 * Day off: Sunday

Looking after Ronald's chickens

 * Where: Grocery Store
 * When: 8am – 3pm, (except Sunday)
 * Pay: 180G, free egg

You help Ronald by taking care of his Chickens in the coop outside. He will give you the chicken feeds. All you just need to do is to feed each of the chicken and collect their eggs. There are a total of 6 eggs you need to collect. After calling it a day, Ronald will pay you 180G and will give you free egg. This free egg that he will give you can be useful early in the game because you can place it in the incubator at your own Chicken coop in your farm and after 3 days, the egg will hatch. This let's you avoid having to buy your first chicken from Bob's Ranch Store!
