Chapter 171 Compendium of Materia Medica
Heath felt his scalp tingling. This was indeed the magical world of Pokémon. There were even creatures that would self-destruct after death. However, this was not a big problem for Heath. According to the demon fire red fox, he only needed to cut off the fish meat. However, Heath did not intend to do so.
A qualified chef needs to learn how to remove eel bones. Eel bones refer to the bones of eels. Many chefs who make eel rice need special practice and training because they need to learn how to remove eel bones. Although it is okay if you don’t know how to do it, the eels made in that way will still be a bit lacking.
Heath touched his kitchen knife. An ordinary kitchen knife could also be used to remove eel bones, but it was very difficult. Generally speaking, a small long knife was the best choice for removing eel bones. However, in the final analysis, whether the removal of eel bones could be successful still depended on the chef's own skills.
"I haven't tried it for a long time... Should I buy some eels tomorrow and try it again?" Heath was a little conflicted. He wanted to include this lava eel in his food atlas, and he also had to use it to entertain guests. But now Heath was not very confident.
Just when Heath was feeling a little conflicted, he caught a glimpse of Farfetch'd waving from the corner of his eye, as if trying to attract his attention.
"What's wrong, Farfetch'd?" Heath looked at Farfetch'd with a smile, and then saw that Farfetch'd had a dark purple flyer in Farfetch'd's hand, and Farfetch'd then handed the flyer to Heath.
Heath took it and looked at it in confusion. It seemed to be a bar or a KTV or something like that. There was a string of foreign words on it, which read "Dicky Twister". It should be the name of the store, but Heath's foreign language was not very good, so he did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Do you want to go?" Heath looked at Farfetch'd blankly. When did Farfetch'd become so trendy that he even wanted to go to the bar. Or did Farfetch'd awaken a new hobby and plan to become a DJ?
Farfetch'd hesitated for a moment, then pulled Heath's clothes and shook them, and Zoroark jumped out immediately.
"Congcong said that he wants you to take him to this place to play." Soraya said seriously, and Heath did not doubt it, after all, Soraya did undertake the work of translation.
"Okay, then let's wait until tonight." Heath nodded. He had never been to a nightclub in the Pokémon World before. After all, he had no money before and was in debt. Now Heath has time, and Farfetch'd also wants to go, so there's nothing wrong with going once in a while.
Heath then sat patiently in the dining car, waiting for the guests to arrive . As meal time approached, Heath's dining car became lively, and this time there were fewer people gossiping about Heath. Many people had read the science popularization of the demon fire red fox and understood that there was indeed nothing wrong with the price Heath was selling. Many people even asked Heath when he would launch the large purple crab roe soup dumplings again.
Heath smiled and said he didn't know for the time being. After all, he really didn't know when he would be able to accumulate 500 customer satisfaction points.
Heath took a curious look at his food illustrations, which showed that there was still a little over a hundred points away from the satisfaction level of 500, which was not a lot. Heath felt that it should be possible tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
However, thinking of the demon red fox just now, Heath couldn't help but smile. Director Fox was a very enthusiastic person. Heath decided that if he needed help in the future, he would definitely help, although he was just a chef and didn't know what he could do to help the other party.
Heath spent the whole lunch break busy. After the number of customers decreased, all of Heath's braised chicken was sold out. He even sold a lot of braised pork rice and egg fried rice. Only then did he make it through the lunch break.
"Well~ I'm done for today." Heath stretched lazily with satisfaction. He planned to close the restaurant. After all, all the ingredients in the food truck had been sold out and there were not many customers. Heath thought it was time to go back and rest for a while, and then wait to take Farfetch'd to that strange bar in the evening.
"Young man, do you have any food for sale here?" Just as Heath was about to close the door, he heard the voice of an old man.
Heath turned his head and took a look. It was indeed an old man. It could be seen that he was very old. However, there was a strange feeling when this old man stood there, as if... he was a fairy.
"Yes, but most of the food has been sold out. If you need, I can make you a pancake. What do you think?" Although it was very strange, Heath still politely entertained the guest in front of him.
"Jianbing? It's something you've never eaten before. Thank you, little brother." The old man nodded with a smile, then stood outside the dining car waiting.
Heath quickly took out a chair and let the old man sit down. Heath had just put away the tables and chairs outside the dining car. He didn't want to let an old man stand and wait for him.
However, when he walked to the old man, Heath couldn't help but be stunned, because the old man had a very strange smell on his body. The smell was very familiar and unique, the kind that people couldn't help but remember after smelling it once.
Chinese herbal flavor.
Heath was very sure that it was indeed the smell of Chinese medicine. Although he didn't know why the old man had this smell, when Heath was a child, his neighbor was an old Chinese doctor who especially liked to boil Chinese medicine. Heath felt that his socks were almost smelling like Chinese medicine after being exposed to the sun.
The smell of Chinese medicine is very special, Heath would never make a mistake.
"Grandpa, are you a Chinese medicine doctor?" Heath looked at the old man in front of him curiously. Although he was not a person who could chat with strangers, this old man was indeed very special. Heath was really curious about this question.
"Huh? Sorry, I forgot to change my clothes when I was making medicine this morning." The old man was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand with a smile.
Heath was a little surprised that it was actually Chinese medicine!
There is naturally Chinese medicine in the Pokémon world, as can be seen in the herbal medicine shop in the Hoenn region. However, its characteristics are also very obvious. Although it is very effective and cheap, it tastes very bitter. Therefore, if it is fed to Pokémon, it will reduce the Pokémon's favorability. Generally speaking, trainers who want to use some specific moves will specifically feed Chinese medicine to their Pokémon.
However, Heath knew that one of the reasons why Chinese medicine was available throughout the league was that the customers they faced were all humans, and very few of them had to deal with Pokémon.
