Chapter 1001 Taishan Stone
Naoki is a very particular person. He sucked the stone and drank the wine, leaving no drop behind. He took the last sip when he finished sucking the stone. Heath couldn't help but think that Naoki might have calculated precisely to achieve the current effect. However, Heath had no opinion on this. The guests were free to eat whatever they wanted, let alone sucking stones. If someone in the future wanted to suck sand, Heath would be able to calmly cook for him. After all, after what happened with Naoki, Heath understood that there are all kinds of people in this world, and not all of them want to eat normal food. There are always some people who want to eat something strange, just like Naoki. What he wants to eat is very strange in Heath's opinion.
After drinking the wine and sucking on the stone, Naoki paid and left. Heath did not ask for more. The price of a bottle of nightmare wine plus a little labor fee was enough. After all, the stone didn't cost much. At most, it was the cost of Kirlia's search. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Heath naturally couldn't ask for too much. This little was enough. The only problem was that Naoki left now. After asking for his autograph, he left, but his stone was still here. Zoroark obviously had never dealt with a similar situation before. He was a little confused and didn't know how to deal with it . He could only look to Heath for help.
Heath scratched his head and then gave a solution, which was to have Zoroark throw it directly into the grove outside. There were stones in the grove anyway, so it wouldn't be a big problem to throw these stones in. After all, Heath couldn't take these stones out and give them to the next guest to eat, right? And Heath thought that there were not many people who would choose to suck stones as a snack these days. He had checked and found that there was no similar custom in Honglian Town. It was probably Naoki's own habit.
However, after hesitating for a while, Heath asked Zoroark to throw those stones into the sea, and then brought back some new stones from the beach. After all, he didn't know whether Naoki would continue to eat at his place in the future. And Heath had just planned to recommend his own red fruit mixed with jellyfish to Naoki, but Naoki only wanted to drink and suck stones, and Heath had no choice, so the mission in Honglian Town was still not completed. It has to be said that this made Heath feel a little regretful.
It would have been a good thing if the task could have been completed smoothly, but unfortunately it was not completed.
"Master, is that stone delicious?" Xiaoyao couldn't help asking. She had wanted to ask before, but it didn't seem right to ask these questions in front of the guests, so Xiaoyao held it back. Now that the guest had left, Xiaoyao could ask the question easily. Heath couldn't help but look at her after hearing Xiaoyao's question. Why was this unlucky child so curious about this question? However, as a chef, Heath had never eaten any stones, but he could still guess.
Stones have some fine holes, so the seasonings must have seeped into them. But do stones have any smell? Heath thinks they don't. Unless they are saline-alkali stones, ordinary stones really don't have any smell. So the smell of the stones themselves is the smell of the seasonings. As for the seasonings made by Heath...
"Probably just suck the seasoning directly, right? At most, there will be some aftertaste, and you can sip it a few more times." Heath touched his chin and made a guess. After all, once the seasoning seeps into it, it should be impossible to suck it all out in one sip. However, Heath himself has never eaten this thing, so it can only be said to be a guess. After hearing Heath's guess, Xiaoyao's curiosity faded a little.
Xiaoyao imagined herself sucking on a stone, and immediately lost interest in learning more. Although Xiaoyao was still young, she was still a girl, and she was very concerned about her image. How could she do such a thing? If her mother knew about it , she would be punished, so Xiaoyao gave up the idea of trying it.
At this time, Heath was also looking at the new reward he had received, which was the reward he got after entertaining Naoki.
A stone.
I have to say, this made Heath a little curious about whether Naoki had any special connection with stones. He wanted to eat stones, but the reward given was also stones. It can be said that he went from stone to stone, which made people feel a little bit ridiculous. However, this stone was a good thing. Although it was useless to Heath, it might be used in some other places.
Taishan Stone, this is the name of this stone. I have to say that when Heath saw the name of this stone, he was a little confused. He even thought that it might be related to Taishan in his previous life. But later on, after taking a look at it, he realized that this stone probably had nothing to do with Taishan.
[Taishan Stone: A thing that strengthens belief. Wearing it can strengthen the wearer's belief, mainly based on the belief at that time]
It is a very unique reward, but Heath thinks that this thing is very related to Naoki. After all, Naoki is indeed a person with firm beliefs. It is unlikely that ordinary people can do what Naoki does and keep running for his dream, for an impossible dream.
"This thing is simply a magic weapon for those people who get bored with things after a short period of time." Heath smacked his lips and put the small stone away. Although it is called Taishan Stone, the stone is not big, it can even be said to be very small, about the same size as the first joint of Heath's little finger. It is also a necklace. This thing is really a good choice for those people who get bored with things after a short period of time. After all, some people make up their minds quickly, but also give up quickly.
But as long as the other party has this stone, it will be difficult to give it up. If you say it is for losing weight, then you must lose weight to the end. It can be said to be a very good prop and very practical. Heath even considered whether to give it to Zoroark, but considering that Zoroark is his own Pokémon after all, Heath gave up this idea. Most of the creatures in his food cart do not need to use this stone, except Zoroark, but it is hard to say whether it will have other uses in the future.
So Heath put away this unique necklace. Maybe in the future when he meets someone with great ambitions, Heath can help that person strengthen his beliefs, or maybe it can be used to persuade some prodigal sons to return to their roots?
“It’s a good deed.”
