After you collect the Medallion of Water from Halo Halo, talk to Ahina as she stands outside her mobile coffee cart or inside Cafe Mahalo. She will ask you to help her repair the cart by bringing her 4 Palm Lumber. You can collect Palm Lumber by chopping down the Palm trees around Halo Halo, which grow back on their own.
Fixing Ahina's cart will also unlock Samantha's Mobile Cart shop. Samantha is the descendant of the infamous (and shady) Trader Sam from previous version of Harvest Moon. Samantha'smobile cart can be found in every town except for Calisson. She exclusively sells cooking recipes that you can't obtain from Holokai or Laura. Samantha's recipe inventory will expand as you harvest crops and obtain medallions.
Samantha also has a request line. These tasks appear when you talk to her as she wanders around the top of the hill in Calisson. The Samantha-shop versions in other towns don't offer her tasks.
- Becoming the Best Merchant 1 - Bring Samantha 4 Watermelon. A watermelon Harvest Wisp can be found in the pond area behind Halo Halo. There's another one in the dead-end area down the path with the banana trees in the jungle area by the Harvest Goddess Shrine. Bring her the 4 Watermelon to receive 4 Opal.
- Becoming the Best Merchant 2 - Samantha wants 4 Edelweiss flowers. The wisp can be found in the long, meadow area between Lebkuchen and the bridge to the desert. She'll give you 4 Sapphire.
- Becoming the Best Merchant 3 - Now she wants you to bring her 4 Jack-o'-Lanterns. The wisp is located in Salmiakki. Exit the town to the east and then walk up the path past the lake and into a dead-end area where you typically find Strawberry Pansy wisps. The wisp isn't there every day though! The Jack-o'-Lantern plant does produce three harvests. If you would rather mutate the crop on your own, it is the result of planting Giant Squash in the dessert during summer. Bring the four pumpkins to Samantha to receive 4 Diamond.
