Chapter 15: Wandering Pokémon
"Oh, yes, that's it... You have to cut the pork into small pieces, don't cut it too small..." Heath patiently guided the Onion Duck to make the braised pork in front of him, but Heath also found that the Onion Duck seemed to be very talented in cutting things.
The pork is cut very well in Scallion Duck, each piece is cut into the same size, and the knife skills are also very good, cutting along the texture of the pork, so the pork tastes better in this way.
But when it came to the cooking and frying stages, the production scene of the Onion Duck was like a disaster horror movie, and Heath was busy and flustered the whole time.
However, even though Heath tried hard to teach Farfetch'n'Fish, and even taught him step by step, Farfetch'n'Fish still succeeded in burnt the whole pot of pork, which made Heath feel a little sick.
"Fortunately, there is not much pork in this pot, otherwise I feel like I'm going to go bankrupt." Heath looked at the pot with some blackened pork and sighed.
Fortunately, Heath had prepared in advance and cut the pork into small pieces early on, so the loss was not too great.
After being taught several times, the Onion Duck was finally able to make a decent braised pork with fried tofu, but it had not yet received the approval of the Gold Finger. Heath thought that it might be because the taste was not very good.
However, Heath is not planning to continue teaching Scallion Duck how to make braised pork with fried tofu. It is almost time for lunch, and Heath needs to prepare the ingredients as soon as possible.
Then Heath asked the Scallion Duck to watch him make another serving of braised pork with fried tofu. Then he pushed his stall to the street with the most , set up the stall and waited for customers to come.
"Meow!" There was a strange sound, and Heath threw the slightly burnt pork made from Farfetch'n'Fish without even looking back.
Following a chewing sound and a meow behind him, Heath turned around and saw three cats sitting behind him, looking at him eagerly.
"You guys can't always take advantage of me." Heath looked at the meowing behind him helplessly. These little guys are here again.
"Da, Da!" Immediately afterwards, two Ladas also came out of the bushes and looked around cautiously.
The last one was an Arbok, which stuck out its tongue and looked at Heath happily, with joy in its eyes.
Looking at the little guys behind him, Heath felt a little helpless, but he still took out the braised pork that didn't go so well in the previous experiment with the Farfalle Duck, then took out a small basin from under the stall cart, poured the braised pork into it, and then placed it in front of them.
Looking at these Pokémon wandering in the city, Heath squatted down and touched Meowth's head with a smile. Meowth's ears moved a little, and then he continued to eat his meal without any reaction.
Just like there were stray animals in the cities on Blue Planet in the previous life , there are naturally stray animals in the Pokémon world as well. These Pokémon were abandoned by their original trainers for various reasons and were unable to return to the wild, so they could only wander in the city.
When Heath first encountered them, he thought they were some family's Pokémon that were out for a walk. Later he found out that these little guys were stray Pokémon.
"Arbok, it's not a good idea for you to stay in the city all the time." Heath touched the Arbok's head. This Arbok had only one eye. It looked like this when Heath found it.
Heath thinks that the reason why Arbok was abandoned as a wandering Pokémon might be related to its missing eyes.
"Hiss..." Arbok swallowed a piece of pork in his mouth, licked his lips with his tongue contentedly, then raised his head and looked at Heath.
Heath knew what it meant, and he reached out and touched Arbok's head.
After Meowth, Rada and Arbok finished eating, they went back into the bushes. Heath knew that they would continue to wander in this city. These little guys had their own secret base, which was their shelter.
"Heath, a serving of braised pork with rice!" As mealtime approached, guests came one after another. Heath did not have time to think about anything, but concentrated on receiving his guests.
After lunch time, Heath packed up his stall. Basically, no customers would come at this time. This was the experience Heath had gained after running his business in Changqing City for four years.
At this time of year every year, a group of trainers would set out on a journey with their initial Pokémon. Heath saw many children on the street holding their Pokémon and talking happily.
Most of them are Pokémon like Pidgeot and Rattata, occasionally you can see a few Pikachu and Eevee, and the least are the three starter Pokémon from the Kanto region.
"Hey, little Heath, are you closing your stall now?" Heath heard Sakaki's voice. Heath looked up and saw Sakaki standing in front of him wearing a black suit and smiling, with a cat boss following him.
"Mr. Sakaki! Would you like a bowl of braised pork rice? It tastes very good." Heath looked at Sakaki with a smile. It must be said that although Sakaki is the boss of Team Rocket, his performance outside is very good.
Mr. Sakaki gave Heath the feeling of a school principal, but he was like a gentleman and very considerate to the elderly and girls.
Previously, the Evergreen City TV station reported that Mr. Sakaki worked as a social worker in a nursing home. After investigation, it was discovered that Sakaki went there every year, and this time it was just noticed by the media, otherwise no one would realize that this smiling man would be the owner of the Evergreen City Gym.
"Well, since little Heath said so, give me one portion. I'm very curious about the new dishes you have introduced." Mr. Sakaki said with a smile.
Heath opened the pot skillfully, scooped out a bowl of braised pork with fried tofu, then added rice and placed it in front of Sakaki.
"Wow, it smells good... Well, it tastes great too." Sakaki sniffed the air, nodded with satisfaction, then took a bite and was even more surprised.
Heath looked at Sakaki with a smile. After spending the past four years with Sakaki, Heath often felt that Sakaki was probably not the evil boss in the anime, but more like a kind person.
However, Heath looked at the cat boss beside Sakaki and knew that no matter what, Sakaki was the boss of Team Rocket. That calm, sophisticated, and scheming man was his true face.
"Little Heath, what do you plan to do in the future? Now is the time to get your initial Pokémon and go traveling." Sakaki asked Heath while eating.
