Chapter 302 Grilled Fish and Intermediate Chef's Eyes
Heath stretched, then pushed open the door of the dormitory, lay down on the sofa in the dormitory skillfully, and yawned.
"Sister Feng hasn't finished get off work yet. Isn't it a little too early for her to come back?" Heath opened his cell phone and checked the time. It was only a little after three in the afternoon, and there were not many people in Junsha's dormitory area. Heath planned to go to the cafeteria at 4:30 to prepare dinner for Junsha and the others.
"Speaking of which, what's the progress of my Chef's Eye mission?" Heath scratched his head. Just as he was thinking about this, Heath found himself seeing the Chef's Eye task bar again.
[Chef's Eye (Intermediate): Serve 1,000 guests and make them satisfied with your meals: 998/1000]
Heath was stunned for a moment. Only two left?
This discovery made Heath a little restless. As long as the two guests expressed their satisfaction, Heath would be able to complete the task of the intermediate chef. Heath was still very much looking forward to it. However, it was too late to go to the city now. However, there was another place Heath had not been to, and that was the nursing home in Changqing City.
Heath opened the map on his phone and checked. The nursing home in Changqing City is very close to the dormitory area where Junsha and others live. It is said that this was decided by the mayor of Changqing City. The purpose is to ensure that the elderly in the nursing home are safe and receive stable protection. There is nothing more secure than living near Junsha and others.
However, cooking for the elderly is a troublesome thing. The elderly often have unique tastes, and some elderly people need special research and customization for their daily meals. Heath has entertained some elderly guests, but those elderly guests are all strong and can come to Heath to eat by themselves, while most of those in the nursing home have mobility problems.
Heath was a little confused, but then he saw another place displayed on the phone, which was the reservoir that Heath had visited last time.
There are Junshas stationed next to the reservoir, on duty, but Heath would never go and collect money from the Junshas. In Changqing City, Heath never collects money from the Junshas, although no Junsha would come and eat Heath's food for free.
"Do you want to go and have a look near the reservoir? I remember there seems to be a fish pond over there. There should be some people fishing there." Heath thought thoughtfully. Although there are many guests in the nursing home, it is also very troublesome. First of all, the food that the elderly eat every day in the nursing home is prepared by nutritionists, and there is also a cafeteria. If Heath wants to get satisfaction, he has to let the guests pay.
This was very troublesome, so Heath felt that the possibility of entertaining guests at the nursing home was not very high. So Heath hesitated for a moment, grabbed Zoroark, and immediately ran back to the dining car. Then he set the destination and quickly headed towards the fish pond.
After a while, Heath arrived at the fish pond. Although today was a weekday, some fishermen could still be seen fishing in the fish pond. There were about a dozen people sitting quietly on chairs with fishing rods, looking at the water intently. Heath's arrival only attracted them to look over, and there was no movement after that, and Heath didn't care.
Even in the world of Pokémon, fishing is a very popular pastime. There is even a forum about fishing in Evergreen City. Heath read it when he came here. The posts in it made Heath feel like he had returned to his previous life and looked at the fishing forum on his mobile phone.
Heath knew the feelings of these anglers very well. Some anglers could even sit next to the reservoir and fish all night long. Others were even more daring and would get a motorboat to go fishing in the middle of the lake. The wealthier ones would even charter a boat and go fishing in the ocean. They would do anything to catch fish.
But this has nothing to do with Heath. All Heath intends to do is to attract two guests to dine and then complete his task.
Heath doesn't plan to waste too much time here. His time is precious and he doesn't have that much time to waste. So what Heath plans to do is to use tricky ways to attract customers. The method is also very simple. Heath plans to attract customers by making some delicious food with strong flavors. Speaking of fishermen, Heath thinks grilled fish is a good choice.
So Heath first found the owner of the fish pond, then bought a grass carp from the owner, then carried the grass carp back to his food truck, and began to prepare to process the grass carp.
There are of course ordinary animals in the world of Pokémon, and of course there are fish, but these fish have no ability to fight back against those ferocious carnivorous Pokémon fish, so most of the edible fish on the market are artificially cultivated. Of course, there are also some Pokémon fish farms that have obtained permission from the Alliance.
However, Heath remembered that the paperwork for this type of Pokémon fish farm was extremely difficult and the requirements were very high. There seemed to be only two or three qualified farms in the entire Kanto Alliance.
Heath put aside all those complicated thoughts and began to concentrate on dealing with the grass carp in his hand. Grass carp has many fish bones, and because it is a freshwater fish, some of the fish bones are very small and embedded in the meat. Heath couldn't completely remove the fish bones, not even after drinking the sensitivity potion.
This is not like eels and some marine fish, which have mainly large bones and relatively few small bones. It is very easy to remove fish bones, and you just need to master the skill. However, it is not the same for grass carp.
Fortunately, grilling fish does not require removing all the fish bones, so Heath directly used Dialga's kitchen knife to process the grass carp, took out the internal organs, and then cut it in the middle into two halves. The fish body can still be connected by the skin and the tissue on the back. Then it is just a matter of applying seasoning and marinating it. This step is very important.
This step is essential if you want the grilled fish to be flavorful. There are often requirements for the marinating time, but Heath doesn't have much time now, so he can only use a shortcut, and the shortcut is very simple, which is to directly poke the fish meat with bamboo thorns to make holes in the fish meat so that it can be flavorful. But there are also requirements, that is, the bamboo thorns need to be slender so as not to destroy the appearance of the grilled fish.
When it was almost done, Heath called out Charmeleon and had Charmeleon use the spark move to help Heath light a pile of firewood.
Although Heath has a special electric grill, he never uses it. Sometimes barbecue requires the smell of fireworks, otherwise it would be inferior.
As Heath turned the bread over, an alluring aroma slowly diffused out. Heath was very smart. Heath deliberately chose a place with upwind air so the aroma could spread out.
