Chapter 344 Troubles in a Small Place
Pallet Town, Heath will not stay in this place for too long. Heath will leave eventually. Before leaving, Heath wants to solve the problem of the man in front of him. The man’s problem is the recipe, which may be the recipe left by the man’s mother.
However, it was obvious that Mr. Rodan did not know how to make the pig intestines that his mother made, so after eating them once at Heath's, he became a loyal customer of Heath.
Heath once thought about whether to expand the pig intestine business, but later Heath gave up the idea because he found that not everyone likes pig intestine and customer source is a very serious issue.
After all, Heath had learned before that except for Mr. Rodan and the girl who came to eat later, everyone else in Pallet Town stayed away from pig intestines. People in this world seemed to have a special aversion to internal organs. Heath didn't care too much about it, but occasionally he would regret that he couldn't buy a few bites of his favorite pig intestines.
If Heath is worth over 100 million in the future and no longer has any desire for money, he can still take out some of the money to try to promote some special delicacies from his previous life in this world. But now, Heath feels that it is more important to make more money.
"This is how the recipe is made..." Heath took out the recipe he had written last night. This was written by Heath based on the recipe on the man's head. Heath had a good memory and he remembered the recipe after reading it once. After all, the recipe was quite simple.
Heath also tried to make it himself according to this recipe, but found that because it was not braised, the taste of the pig intestines was even more strange, and the taste seemed to be stronger. Heath felt that he still preferred to eat the braised pig intestines.
Mr. Luodan took the recipe seriously. Although he didn't know much about how to cook, looking at this very detailed recipe, Mr. Luodan still felt an inexplicable sense of security. It seemed that as long as he did it this way, he would be able to create the taste that he often reminisced about in his dreams.
However, when he thought of the mother he saw yesterday, Mr. Luodan's heart became gentle. He gently stroked the paper in front of him. When he went to bed last night, he wondered if he could continue to dream about his mother at night. But Mr. Luodan slept very soundly last night. He did not dream at all, nor did he suffer from insomnia like before.
Mr. Rodan felt that this was because his wish had been fulfilled to a certain extent. As for his biggest wish, Mr. Rodan did not expect it to come true. After all, such a thing was very difficult in the world of Pokémon.
Heath handed two recipes to Mr. Rodan, who accepted them. However, he asked for a reward from Heath, which would be used as the money Mr. Rodan would use to buy the recipes himself. Seeing Mr. Rodan's determination, Heath had no choice but to take the reward and put it in his wallet. Mr. Rodan was very generous. He gave a reward of 5,000 Alliance coins for each recipe, so he sold two recipes for 10,000 in total.
Heath actually didn't want it very much. After all, this recipe was copied from Mr. Rodan's definition of gourmet food. However, Mr. Rodan's attitude was very firm, as if to say, "If you don't take it, I don't want it." Heath had no choice but to take the money to buy the recipe.
"Boss, are you leaving Pallet Town?" Mr. Rodan, who had resolved his worries, sat next to Heath. After what happened just now, Mr. Rodan and Heath became acquaintances with whom they could chat.
We can’t be considered friends yet, but we are still a little closer than strangers who have nothing to talk about when we meet.
"Well, Pallet Town is too small, and the pace of life here is very slow, so it's not very suitable for doing business." Heath nodded. Pallet Town was too small, so small that Heath felt a little uncomfortable. In Heath's opinion, this place is more suitable as a place for retirement and leisure. If Heath wanted to experience farm life, then Pallet Town would naturally be the best choice, but the problem was that Heath still wanted to make more money.
Moreover, if Heath stayed in this world longer, he suspected that he would really be infected by the slow pace of Pallet Town, and it would take some time to adjust after leaving Pallet Town.
"Yes, Pallet Town is too small. It looked the same when I was a child as it did when I grew up. Even the shops haven't changed much." Mr. Rodan nodded in agreement. The shops on a commercial street will always change. This is the case in Changqing City. Today it is a clothing store, but in a few days it may become a department store.
If it's been more than 20 years, most of the place will have changed a lot, and only a few old stores with good business will remain.
But in the town of Zhenxin, the commercial street still looks the same as it did twenty years ago.
The owners of these shops all know the residents, to the extent that it doesn’t matter if they forget to pay, they will just take it anyway. They can even get together and chat after closing the shop.
Everything in this small town is so familiar, but with the development of the times, Pallet Town is slowly moving towards another extreme, that is, there are fewer and fewer young people. Young people all yearn for life in big cities, and very few can stay in Pallet Town.
Heath nodded. This was how small cities were. Heath himself also discovered that there were very few young people in Pallet Town. Most of the people were around 40 years old. Heath had only seen two or three young and middle-aged men like Mr. Rodan.
This reminded Heath of the big city siphon theory. Big cities can always siphon population from surrounding towns and then make their own population larger. Young people need to socialize, need to maintain their own living circle, yearn for a lively life, and like to communicate with their peers. Big cities can satisfy all of these.
As there are fewer and fewer young people in small villages and towns, this siphon effect will continue to strengthen, and eventually only the elderly may be left in a small village and town.
But Heath is just a cook. The Maritime Administration can leave this matter to the senior leaders in the alliance. Heath only needs to think about where to go next time. However, the next place has been decided, which is Green Ridge City in the Hoenn region. Heath is a little curious. How to get there? Will he encounter Rayquaza flying in the ozone layer?
However, there have been no sightings of the three sacred beasts for a long time. Rayquaza is flying in the sky and can basically not be seen. Groudon and Kyogre are sleeping again, waiting to be woken up.
