Chapter 124: Otaku
Heath was a little bored. He sat in his dining car, resting his chin on his hand, looking at the snow outside the window and yawning. He suddenly realized that he still had some problems in his travel life. The most critical one was naturally the judgment of the weather and passenger flow. Maybe this is what he would encounter when he first set out on a trip.
"If I had known there wouldn't be so many customers, I would have gone directly to the Quartz Alliance to take a look at the headquarters of the Kanto region. It should have been a very interesting thing to do." Heath glanced at Farfetch'd, who was flipping the wok beside him. This was the task Heath assigned to Farfetch'd. After all, although Farfetch'd could cook any dish, as a chef, the more endurance he had, the better.
Heath discovered that the triggering of Farfetch'n'Duck's Pokémon chef quest was rather mysterious. It might be because Farfetch'n'Duck had different views on different foods, so sometimes Farfetch'n'Duck was very interested in some dishes, and then the quest would be triggered. But sometimes, although Farfetch'n'Duck would learn about dishes that it was not interested in, the quest would not be triggered, which made Heath a little confused.
"This is it. This guy actually sneaked in here." A familiar voice, Heath was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and took a look. Then he saw the red-haired, red-eyed beautiful girl Feng Wang whom he had met last time, dragging a girl with silver-white hair and blue eyes towards him.
Heath was a little surprised. He really didn't expect to meet Ho-Oh again. And who was the girl next to Ho-Oh?
"Welcome, is there anything I would like to eat?" However, Heath was still very happy to see Ho-Oh. As for the girl next to Ho-Oh, she must also be a mythical beast. Although he didn't expect what kind of mythical beast she was, it was still a mythical beast.
"Hehe, what you cooked last time wasn't meat, but meat-flavored dishes tasted pretty good. What I want to eat this time is also very special." Ho-Oh touched his nose, with an expression of 'I have something against you' written all over his face, which made Heath feel a little amused and helpless. Ho-Oh is really a Pokémon who holds grudges.
"I want to eat food that tastes like fish but has no fish meat!" Ho-Oh stated his request. Heath raised his eyebrows, and after thinking about the ingredients he currently had, he couldn't help but frowned.
"It's not that this food cannot be cooked, but the ingredient I need has not been marinated yet and I have to wait for a while. Could you please change it?" Heath had a headache. As soon as Feng Wang mentioned the characteristics of this food, Heath had already thought of what dish to cook .
There is a famous Sichuan dish that is well-known throughout the country, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor. Heath feels that this dish is very much in line with Fengwang's current requirements. It does not use fish, but it can produce the aroma of fish, which is a perfect fit.
But the problem is that the authentic shredded pork with fish flavor requires the use of Sichuan-Shu region’s special pickled vegetables and pickled peppers.
Heath has just started pickling pickled peppers. After all, Heath's funds were tight before, and now all the pickled vegetables have to be prepared from scratch.
"Does it take time? What is it?" Ho-Oh asked Heath curiously, and the silver-haired girl next to him also looked at him with concern.
Heath took out the pickled peppers he had made from the bottom of his food cart and placed them on the counter.
"That's it. Only after this is pickled can I make you a portion of shredded pork with fish flavor." Heath said helplessly. He really wanted to make the kimchi as soon as possible, but making kimchi is very time-consuming and Heath cannot make it quickly as he wants.
"How long will it take?" Feng Wang asked again. Heath touched his chin and thought about the question.
"Generally speaking, seven days is enough, but my requirement for Pickle Pepper is three weeks, which means it will take twenty-one days for him to meet my expectations." Heath thought for a moment and then gave an answer.
"I thought it would take a long time." Feng Wang waved his hand nonchalantly , and then Heath felt the air around him twisted. Heath looked back as if he sensed something, and then saw that the pickled peppers that had just been pickled had become the same as those that had been pickled for a long time.
Heath blinked his eyes, then rubbed them. He wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes. How could the King of Phoenix control the time of pickled peppers just to eat a serving of shredded pork with fish flavor?
Heath really didn't know that Ho-Oh had this ability, but for a legendary beast, doing such a trivial thing didn't seem to be too much.
"We are researchers at an experimental base . This is our latest research, which can effectively save the time of pickling." The silver-haired girl saw Heath's confusion and explained with a smile, while Ho-Oh nodded beside him, making Heath feel a little amused.
"Okay, thank you." Although he knew very well that it was Ho-Oh who used his ability to control time, Heath did not intend to say it out loud. Instead, he thanked Ho-Oh with a smile.
"Just give me a similar dish, please." The silver-haired girl added. Heath nodded and started making the fish-flavored shredded pork.
Fish-flavored shredded pork is a type of Sichuan cuisine and is quite simple to prepare. However, in areas outside Sichuan, people often use other chili seasonings instead of pickled peppers, or directly use chili oil. Although the taste is okay, it is still a little worse than the authentic fish-flavored shredded pork.
So how do you judge whether fish-flavored pork shreds are authentic Sichuan cuisine? Just take a look at the pickled peppers and you will know. If there are no pickled peppers, don’t expect the fish-flavored pork shreds to be authentic. However, Sichuan cuisine has different cooking methods in different regions. In the final analysis, what matters most is what you like to eat.
Heath is the type of person who can eat a little spicy food, but not too spicy. On the contrary, Heath may not be used to the authentic Sichuan cuisine.
However, this time he was making food for Ho-Oh and another mythical beast, so Heath still cooked it according to traditional Sichuan cuisine.
"Lord Luo, what have you been doing recently? You stay at home every day." Heath listened to the conversation between King Feng and the girl while cooking. However, when he heard the name , Heath was stunned and even stopped cutting vegetables for a second.
Luo Wang? What kind of a name is that?
"Can't you change your name..." The tall silver-haired girl covered her face helplessly. Heath's mouth twitched. He remembered that there was a legendary beast that also lived in Kanto and Johto regions. Its name was Lugia.
And seeing the girl's silver hair and blue eyes, Heath felt that she must be Lugia.
