Chapter 12: The Second Step of Pokémon Chef and New Dishes
"Onion?" The Onion Duck held the onion in its hand and poked the pork in front of it curiously. It watched the pork collapse and bounce back, as if it had found some fun toy.
Heath swallowed his saliva. Previously, Farfetch'duck had initiated a long-term mission, and the first mission was to teach Farfetch'duck how to make pancakes. With Heath's hands-on teaching, it was somewhat effective.
However, after the first task was completed, the second task was not released for a long time, which made Heath wonder if the gold finger was broken.
But looking at the Onion Duck in front of him, Heath suddenly had a strange thought in his mind. Could it be that the Onion Duck has set its eyes on the dish he is going to cook later?
If so, then that strange task wouldn't be triggered, right? If it was triggered, then Heath would have to seriously consider whether he would go bankrupt, after all, pork was much more expensive than other vegetables.
Heath pushed his stall cart and came to the place where he usually set up his stall with a nervous mood. After setting up the stall, Heath began to prepare for today's business.
However, since there were not many people around, Heath decided to make the food . Thinking of this, Heath took out the pork, cut it into small pieces with a kitchen knife, and put it in a bowl aside for later use.
Then Heath took out his wok again. This time he planned to make braised pork with fried tofu, a delicacy from his previous life.
This is also the reason why Heath bought pork. After the pan was heated, Heath poured the chopped pork into it. There was no need to add oil because the oil on the fat could be used as oil.
Looking at the pork cut into small pieces, Heath stir-fried it patiently. The preparation of braised pork is very simple, you just need to fry the pork until it turns yellow and slightly cooked.
"But there are spices in this world, which is great." Heath poured the spices he bought into a large pot, then put the fried tofu aside for later use, and then poured the fried pork in.
Add water, soy sauce and other seasonings, then Heath covered the pot and started cooking his braised pork with fried tofu and rice at the same time.
"Onion!" The Onion Duck jumped around Heath excitedly, waving the onions in his hands excitedly. Heath was a little confused. Wasn't the braised pork ready yet?
Why is the Farfetch'duck so excited? The fragrance shouldn't come out yet, right?
[Pokémon Chef Step 2: Train Farfetch'd to make a portion of braised pork on its own, and you will receive a special reward]
Looking at the familiar text box that popped up, Heath couldn't help but cover his face. Just as he thought of the worst thing, the Onion Duck was actually interested in braised pork, and the second task was actually to make braised pork.
"It's really killing me..." Heath looked at the excited Onion Duck with a headache. It was okay to feed the Onion Duck with braised pork, but if he taught it...
When Heath thought of the victory of Farfetch'd yesterday, he seemed to see his little money grow wings and fly out of his wallet happily.
"Heath, two servings of pancakes with eggs...do you have green onions?" Just as Heath was thinking about how to recover his losses, Mr. Yaning came over in a hurry.
"Of course we have special green onions. Ten dollars for an extra portion. Would you like two, Mr. Yaning?" Heath instantly put on a heartfelt smile.
"Well, two servings, with onions and eggs." Mr. Yaning paid the bill generously, then cupped his hands together, put them in front of himself and blew on them.
Heath spread the batter skillfully, and then asked Farfetch'd to stand aside and watch him make it. Although Farfetch'd had learned how to make pancakes, its performance was still a little lacking.
"Today is the day to receive your first Pokémon, right, Mr. Yaning?" Heath chatted with Mr. Yaning while making pancakes.
Mr. Yaning is a staff member of the Alliance and is responsible for many matters, but what Mr. Yaning is currently dealing with is the issue of receiving initial Pokémon, that is, the distribution of the three starter Pokémon.
Unlike the way Ash and his friends embarked on their journey, many wealthy families choose to pay money to the Alliance and then let their children receive Pokémon bred by the Alliance, such as Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.
However, the prices of the three starter Pokémon are not cheap, so those who can afford them usually come from well-off families. Of course, the Alliance also prepares some ordinary starting Pokémon for those from average families.
There are Rattata, Nidoran, Pidgeot, etc., but Growlithe is basically monopolized by the Gnu family, and it is difficult for other trainers to use Growlithe as their starting Pokémon.
"Yes, we have been preparing since early morning. Another group of trainers are about to embark on their journey. It feels like seeing our own children grow up." Mr. Yaning said with a smile.
"Last night, we ordered several very good Pokémon from Professor Oak, and they have all been reserved by several wealthy families in our Evergreen City." Mr. Yaning rubbed his hands. The weather was a little cold today.
Heath nodded. Every year when the initial Pokémon were collected, the Pokémon bred by Professor Oak were always the most sought-after Pokémon.
Professor Oak is a very powerful trainer. Even after he stopped being a trainer, his training skills are still very good . The reason why Ash can go out and capture many Pokémon and use them whenever he wants, and they are all very strong, is also related to Professor Oak.
However, good quality means high price, and the three great breeds bred by Professor Oak are not affordable for an ordinary family.
"Mr. Yaning, your pancake." Heath handed the finished pancake to Mr. Yaning, then took the money and gave the change to Mr. Yaning.
After watching Mr. Yaning leave, Heath poured the fried tofu into the pot. Now all he had to do was wait for the braised pork to cook slowly.
Heath took out a cardboard from the stall cart, wrote on it a sentence [Today's new dish: Fried tofu and braised pork with rice / 25 Alliance coins per serving], and then hung it on his stall cart.
Heath was not sure whether people in this world liked this special food, but Heath planned to give it a try. If it was popular, Heath's money-saving speed would increase a lot.
As the sky brightened, Evergreen City became bustling, but now most people were going to work, and those who sent their children to pick up Pokémon were just getting up.
Heath's stall became busier as the number of people increased. Some people asked about the new dishes Heath had introduced, but Heath regretfully said that they were not ready yet.
As time passed, the aroma of fried tofu and braised pork slowly spread, making many office workers swallow their saliva.
