Chapter 19: Cooking may also be related to alchemy
"Do you want to travel?" Jun Shafeng asked Heath while eating the dinner prepared by Heath.
"Well, Sister Feng, I plan to visit other cities and collect the local special foods." Heath nodded. He had made up his mind. He wanted to be a traveling chef. Every time he went to a city, he would collect the local special foods in that city.
This way, he could complete the mission of his golden finger and also allow Heath to satisfy his original idea and start a journey in the world of Pokémon.
"From the moment you decided not to go to work at the Public Security Bureau with me, I knew that you would definitely leave Changqing City in the future. When do you plan to leave?" Jun Shafeng asked calmly, her expression not changing.
Heath was chewing the braised pork in his mouth, and he was also thinking about this problem. Theoretically, if he wanted to travel, he just needed to take his Pokémon with him, but Heath wanted to go to different cities to collect ingredients, so he needed some funds.
"Maybe a few weeks later?" Heath said uncertainly. Although he made some money from Gengar today, he still had a long way to go before he could travel.
Traveling is not as simple as picking up a Poké Ball and carrying a backpack and going out. You have to at least prepare some money. There is no such thing as having to pay compensation after failing in a battle in this world.
It is simply outrageous to rely on the method of getting money after fighting in the game to save up funds for travel. What's more, this world is very big. It takes four or five days to walk from Evergreen City to Deep Gray City.
"Okay, tell me when the time comes and I'll take you there." Jun Shafeng wiped her mouth. She had finished eating.
Heath looked at Jun Shafeng helplessly. He had told Jun Shafeng many times that she must not eat too fast because it was bad for the stomach, but Jun Shafeng always turned a deaf ear to him.
After saying it so many times, Jun Shafeng still had no intention of changing. Every time Heath ate, he felt like he was a slow eater. Jun Shafeng would finish his meal before he had even finished half of it.
"Sister Feng, is there any news in Changqing City recently?" Heath asked Jun Shafeng, who had a calm expression.
He always felt that Jun Shafeng seemed a little unhappy, so he wanted to take the opportunity to test the waters.
"There's no big news...but do you want to make money?" Jun Shafeng paused for a moment as she wiped her mouth, then she turned around and looked at Heath.
Heath nodded subconsciously. It was hard for people who had never been poor to understand Heath's feelings. The feeling of being weighed down by debt almost drove Heath crazy. Even though he had paid off the debt now, Heath still maintained his frugal habits.
"A group of prisoners from Changqing City Prison will be escorted to Yongshu Island soon. The prison plans to fulfill their wish and cook a delicious meal for them. You are a good cook, and the meal allowance is 50 Alliance coins per person. There are 50 people in total. Will you accept it?" Jun Shafeng told Heath a piece of news that made his heart move.
There are prisons in the Pokémon world, of course, and there is also justice in this place, but the death penalty is more cautious, and the cruelest punishment besides the death penalty is Yongshu Island.
It was an island that only had midsummer as its season of the year. It was surrounded by the sea, had no wind, and the scorching heat made the prisoners want to jump into the sea.
But the sea is also hot, so you won’t feel cool once you go down there. Therefore, prisoners sentenced to Yongshu Island can usually make a request, and as long as it is not too excessive, it will be met.
"Take it!" Heath nodded without any hesitation. The meal allowance of fifty Alliance coins per person may seem like a small amount, but there is actually still some profit to be made.
"Well, don't be so mean. Ms. Loli just complained to me today that you accepted one thousand Alliance Coins from Gengar." Jun Shafeng looked at Heath with a bad look, punched the wall, and said in a warning tone.
Heath nodded immediately, and Jun Shafeng went back to his room. Heath looked at the sunken fist mark on the wall and took a deep breath.
The people in the Pokémon world are simply not human. Before there was the super rookie Satoshi, and now Junsa’s combat power is also so high.
Heath even thought that Jun Shafeng didn't even need to send Pokémon to catch people. He could just use his bare hands to catch the criminal a few times.
"It's so unbearable." Heath cleaned up the dishes, washed the bowl, and then lay down on his bed.
Farfetch'd was practicing cooking in the kitchen. Heath was very calm and remained indifferent even when a wisp of black smoke floated in front of him.
Although the cooking of Onion Duck is a disaster movie, it is at least above the passing line. However, when Jun Shafeng cooks, it is not cooking at all, but researching some biological weapons.
Heath once had the opportunity to eat the pink pork ribs and radish soup cooked by Jun Shafeng. Heath admitted that he was shaking when it was served.
After taking a sip, Heath suddenly realized that the highest level of cooking is to create something out of nothing.
Heath really wanted to ask Sister Feng how she managed to make the pork ribs and radish soup taste like cake?
Then Heath never let Jun Shafeng go to the kitchen again. Heath knew that if he wanted to have a good dinner, cooking by himself was the best way.
"This smell is wrong." Heath's nose twitched, and then he climbed out of bed and walked into the kitchen to take a look.
"Fat Onion Ducky, have you... discovered any coal mine?" Heath's face turned black as he watched Farfetch'd sneakily trying to throw something into the trash can.
Heath admitted that when he saw this thing, he fell into a strange state of confusion at first glance. He had no idea what this pitch-black thing was. It was in pieces, like pieces of charcoal.
"Onion..." Onion Duck twisted its butt .
Heath rolled his eyes, then picked up a piece of 'coal' and broke it off.
There was a 'crackling' sound, and Heath stared blankly at the 'coal' in front of him that made the meaningless sound, and fell into deep thought.
Heath felt that he must have done something good to save humanity in his previous life, otherwise how could he come to such a strange place.
There is the pharmacist Jun Shafeng who has mastered alchemy and can make pork rib soup pink. And now there is the Farfetch'd who may have secretly learned the alchemy of equivalent exchange from the next door "Fullmetal Alchemist".
"How could I have deserved the honor of meeting you two?" Heath felt terrible. He thought that Farfetch'd might have a negative talent in cooking.
But didn’t I just teach it how to make braised pork before?
