Chapter 172: The collision between simplicity and technology
Unless they are trainers who want to cultivate Pokémon that resents them, most trainers will not use Chinese medicine to treat their Pokémon, even though Chinese medicine has good therapeutic effects.
When Heath was in Changqing City, he drank some Chinese medicine. At that time, Heath often got up early to go out to work during the return of the south wind, and there was no moisture-proof equipment, so he caught a cold. Sister Feng took Heath to see an old Chinese doctor. The doctor's diagnosis was correct, which made Heath feel a long-lost sense of familiarity.
After returning to the dining car, Heath began to prepare the pancake for the old man. The old man's taste was relatively normal. He liked sour things and hated spicy things, so Heath only needed to add some ketchup to the pancake, which should make the old man satisfied.
A pancake is not complicated to make, and Heath is very fast in making it. He finished the pancake in no time and served it to the old man.
"Grandpa, this is your pancake." Heath put the pancake in the bag with a smile and handed it to the old man, who took it with a smile.
However, when he took it, the old man seemed to subconsciously put his hand on Heath's wrist. Heath was stunned for a moment. Was he taking his pulse?
"Oh, I'm sorry, young man. I have an occupational disease. But you are in good health and your pulse is very good." The old man quickly let go of his hand, then picked up his pancake with a smile and slowly left.
Heath smiled. He was indeed an old Chinese doctor. He was able to judge Heath's physical condition by just taking his pulse. No wonder many people like to see older Chinese doctors.
[You entertained Chinese medicine practitioner Luo Feng, and you received a copy of Compendium of Materia Medica]
Heath's mouth twitched. Although it was good to know that the other party was a Chinese medicine doctor, what was the matter with this reward?
Heath returned to his dining cart in confusion, and then he found the reward in his cabinet, a very ancient and old book with "Compendium of Materia Medica" written on it, but the author's name was nowhere to be found. Heath touched his chin, thinking that this was a good thing, otherwise if someone else saw him in the future, Heath would have to figure out how to explain this problem.
Heath curiously opened the Compendium of Materia Medica and took a look. Then Heath found a blue text box popped up in front of him. It came from this ancient book. There were words written on it, and there was also a model .
"Your... Compendium of Materia Medica is quite technological." Heath smacked his lips. He originally thought that he would get an ancient book written with a brush or something like that, but he didn't expect it to be so technological.
There was also a scent of medicinal herbs on it. Heath felt that the book was quite modern, but he couldn't understand the name on it because a strange name appeared on the first page of the book.
[Rooting grass: cold in nature, can be used to treat...]
Heath scratched his head, wondering if this thing existed in his previous life. However, thinking that this book appeared in the Pokémon world, Heath thought that this was probably the Pokémon world version of the Compendium of Materia Medica. Heath put the book away. He had no interest in studying this thing for the time being, so he planned to close the book.
This time the closing of the stall went much more smoothly. Heath closed the door of the food truck and then drove it back to the dormitory area where Junsha and the others lived. In the dormitory area, Heath couldn't help but take a look at the ventilation duct. Heath had met Mimikyu here before, but that Pokémon ran away very quickly. Heath didn't even have time to take a picture before it escaped.
It was not known whether the other party lived in the parking lot or somewhere else. Heath was a little confused about this, but he did not care too much. After all, there was nothing special about that Mimikyu except that it scared Snorlax.
After returning to the parking lot, Heath took out the edible quartz that Lao Junsha had helped him twist. He was thinking about how to deal with the edible quartz. Although Lao Junsha had helped him remove the toxic ingredients in the edible quartz, Heath didn't know how to cook it. It couldn't be ground into powder, right?
Heath planned to try them one by one, but after being busy for a while, Heath found himself really helpless, because no matter whether it was boiled, fried or grilled, this edible quartz looked like an ordinary stone, without any strange changes. If you didn't know, you would think Heath was just boiling stones for fun.
"It's useless... How can this thing be made into edible food? This task doesn't seem to be easy to accomplish." Heath had a headache. Just like the specialty food of Evergreen City is the Evergreen Fruit, Heath still hasn't found the Evergreen Fruit. But when he thought of the special effects of the Evergreen Fruit, Heath felt that all this seemed normal.
After all, it is said that this is a magical fruit that can gain the power of Evergreen if eaten. It is more magical than any other fruit from any tree. Heath feels that it is worthy of being included in his food atlas.
Heath reluctantly put the edible quartz back into the cabinet. This thing could not be used in the short term, so Heath planned to put it aside for the time being and study it slowly later. But now what Heath needed to consider was how to deal with the lava eel on hand.
The strange characteristics of the lava eel mean that it needs to be processed quickly. If the bones cannot be removed within the specified time, the lava eel will basically be inedible, which requires a very fast hand speed from the chef.
Although Heath had learned how to remove bones before, that was a long time ago. Heath had not come into contact with eel, a special ingredient, for four years, so it was very difficult for him to quickly re-master it now.
However, Heath has already thought of a way to deal with it. Just like with the Farfalle, Heath plans to buy some ordinary eels for research and experiments. Then, if he can remove the eel bones within the specified time, Heath can try to make an eel rice.
Yes, the cooking method Heath thought of was eel rice. After all, eel rice tastes very good and Heath also likes to eat it. He just needs to think carefully about how to deal with this unique ingredient, and pricing is also a problem.
