Chapter 246 Heath's Favorite Pickles
Heath didn't know what happened in the parking lot, nor did he know that a resentful little guy had been following his scent and was looking for him. Heath was still seriously buying today's ingredients. It had to be said that getting up early had many benefits. At least the ingredients were fresher, and there were so many varieties that Heath felt a little dazzled.
Heath yawned, then slowly picked the crabs. However, Heath keenly noticed that the price of crabs had increased slightly recently. Although the increase was not large, it was indeed an increase. Just like before, Heath might need one hundred Alliance coins to buy a pound of crabs, but now it takes one hundred and five Alliance coins to buy the same pound of crabs.
Heath frowned. Heath had noticed crabs before. In fact, this thing is not a very common food ingredient in the Quartz Alliance. The people in this world are still in a childish stage in the development of crabs and various aquatic products. The method similar to the Spanish seafood fried rice in the previous life is their culmination.
It is also for this reason that Heath can still save a lot of money when buying crabs, but now the price of crabs has increased?
"Uncle Dali, why are the crabs today more expensive than yesterday's?" Heath looked at the uncle in front of him curiously. Heath had been buying crabs at the uncle's seafood stall recently, and they had become old acquaintances.
"Hey, isn't it because something called... crab roe soup dumplings has become popular in the Quartz Alliance recently? Many people want to make their own crab roe soup dumplings, and many hotels and restaurants have also started to study it. So the price of crabs with crab roe has gone up." Uncle Dali said with a smile. Heath was his old regular customer, and he bought a lot of crabs every day, so Dali was naturally willing to take care of Heath.
Heath raised his eyebrows. It seemed that an imitator had appeared. However, this was unavoidable. After all, although this world had so-called patent protection and intellectual property protection, there was no recipe protection. Moreover, the production method of crab roe soup dumplings was not difficult to reverse deduce. This was why it was difficult for chefs to keep secrets.
Unless it is a food like Lao Gan Ma in the previous life that has become big and strong and has its own unique recipe, most foods are actually very easy to reverse engineer. Heath can also achieve a similar level. He only needs to eat a bite of the food and he can basically reverse engineer the ingredients and seasonings of the meal. Moreover, crab roe soup dumplings are really simple.
So being imitated is inevitable, but what Heath doesn’t understand is why he became so popular?
This question was answered after Heath came to the dining car, because Heath found that the latest hot search appeared in the hot list of his mobile phone. The champion of the Sinnoh League, Miss Takeran, said that she liked to eat the crab roe soup dumplings of the Kanto Quartz League.
Suddenly, the name of Crab Roe Soup Dumpling, which had never appeared in the Pokémon world before, attracted the attention of countless people. Those who had eaten the Quartz League's Crab Roe Soup Dumpling knew that it was Seath's Crab Roe Soup Dumpling, but what about those who hadn't eaten it? Naturally, when they saw someone launch the Crab Roe Soup Dumpling, they would run over to try what this thing that the champion liked tasted like.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Sirona would give me a free advertisement." Heath curled his lips. Although there was nothing he could do about being imitated, it did make people a little unhappy. Fortunately, Heath was not a person who cared too much. Even if he was imitated by others, Heath could still launch more delicious things and continue to occupy the top of the trend.
Thinking of this, Heath looked towards the refrigerator, where there was a can of [Snow that can fill the stomach in memory]. This thing has a very magical effect. Heath planned to take it out and use it later, but now, Heath felt that it was more important to finish other things first, such as making breakfast for his Pokémon.
So after choosing the final destination of the food truck, Heath began to prepare breakfast for his Pokémon. Today Heath planned to make very ordinary noodles. The only novel thing was that this noodle used the pickles made by Heath.
Pickled vegetables, which Heath made when he left Evergreen City. After so many days of fermentation, they are finally ready to be used. Heath was very moved by this, so he couldn't wait to take them out. The noodles Heath planned to make are the pickled vegetable and meat noodles that Heath himself loved to eat in his previous life!
Pickled vegetables are a special kind of pickled vegetables from several provinces including Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Although they look somewhat similar to a certain chef's old-style pickled vegetables, they are actually not the same type. There are several categories of pickled vegetables in Yunnan Province that Heath himself knows about, and Heath personally thinks that the best tasting ones are still the dry pickled vegetables, while in contrast there are the water pickled vegetables that are full of ethnic characteristics from remote areas such as XSBN.
Dry pickled vegetables and water pickled vegetables actually have two different tastes. Water pickled vegetables are generally greener and taste sour and crispy, but the sourness is not very strong. After the dry pickled vegetables are made, the originally green vegetables turn red and have a strong sour taste. They do not have much water, but they taste very good. They are excellent whether they are eaten with rice noodles for breakfast or used alone as an ingredient to stir-fry meat.
"Then let me see. Mine, Zorroa's FarFatDuck's, Snorlax's, Charmeleon's, and Mew's, a total of six... huh?" Heath glanced at the Pokémon behind him, counted them, and then felt unwell.
Heath turned his head stiffly, and then he saw that the [Freeloader Foursome] in the lounge had evolved into a group of five every time he cooked. In addition to Zoroark, Farfetch'd, Snorlax and Charmeleon, Mew had also been sitting there obediently at some point. When he saw Heath noticed him, he happily wagged his tail as a greeting.
The corners of Heath's mouth twitched, and then he rubbed his face. He didn't know if he could get anything good after entertaining Menghuan like this. However, Heath adjusted his mentality and began to prepare today's breakfast.
Pickled vegetable fried meat noodles, just from the name you can tell how this thing is made, the first thing you need is pickled vegetables and fried meat, and the noodles also need to be processed separately, but fortunately this is not the first time Heath has made it, so it is not particularly troublesome to make it now.
Stir-fried meat with pickled vegetables, as the name suggests, uses the pickled vegetables made by Heath to stir-fry minced meat. During the production process, you can add a little sugar as appropriate. This is Heath's secret, and Heath doesn't tell most people.
