Snake milk

ISSsloth

Farmer
The message that enables the snake milk cutscene is a secret note, and as such can be found in many ways other than combat, such as digging artifact spots and clearing debris on your farm. There isn't really a way to force this until the late game where you can use treasure totems from foraging mastery. Keep playing the game as you are and you'll come across it eventually.

Once the note is found, the quest is pretty easy to cheese with minimal combat, just some preparation. You can craft staircases to go as far down in the skull cavern as you want, most easily obtained by using crystalariums to get lots of jade and exchanging it at the desert trader on a Sunday at a rate of one staircase per jade. Good luck!

One thing to quickly add to what ISSsloth already wrote, there is a condition required to actually obtain the secret notes in the first place, seeing the shadow guy cutscene in your first winter, tracking him down (wither by his footprints in the snow or by knowing where he's hiding), and retrieving the magnifying glass wallet item from him.

Without the magnifying glass, you're unable to actually obtain any of the secret notes, so you'll need that in order to get any of the items from the secret notes themselves.
