Chapter 517: Ordinary Vegetarian Vegetables
Oranges are a very common and ordinary fruit. They are not considered to be of high status in the fruit world, and there are relatively few other varieties. At least compared to grapes, they can be considered to be a relatively simple fruit. However, oranges are still very popular. It’s just that Heath never thought that oranges could be used in cooking. This is really surprising.
But since the food identifier said so, Heath felt that it was not strange for him to make a dish of stir-fried orange and lettuce.
"Let me see. Peel the oranges first, and then... well, these white threads don't need to be processed separately, right?" Heath looked at the oranges in his hand and fell into deep thought. The orange fruits were wrapped in white silk nets. Although it might remind some old perverts of something as strange as white silk, in fact, these white silks are edible, but they are relatively bitter. Therefore, some people like to tear off the white silk on the oranges before eating them. However, in this case, the time to eat an orange would be greatly extended.
Heath didn't have any feelings about this kind of white silk. Anyway, it mainly tasted like orange, and other flavors were generally not very obvious.
So Seath hesitated for a second, then threw the oranges in and started to fry this unique food. The Farfetch'd Pokémon next to him was stunned. It looked at Seath with a strange expression. Farfetch'd had never thought that one day it would see someone cooking with oranges, but after thinking that it was a trainer, Farfetch'd became calm again and stood aside watching curiously.
After a while, the orange and green lettuce were ready. Heath looked at the food in front of him, but he didn't have much desire to eat it. After all, the whole orange plus the green lettuce looked a little strange, but it didn't seem unacceptable, right?
A qualified chef will always taste the dishes he prepares first, so Heath picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth. As Heath chewed, he found that the taste of this thing could only be described as very unique. The texture was somewhat similar to lettuce, but the taste was like a combination of fennel and mint, which was very unique. The taste of orange was almost undetectable, with only a few slices having a sour taste because they were stained with the juice of the broken orange.
"...It seems to have failed." Heath scratched his head. It seemed that the preparation of this food had failed, because Heath found that the taste of this dish of pastoral vegetables was very ordinary. This meant that what Heath made was not the most essential special delicacy of Ziyuan Town. So what was the problem?
Heath followed the instructions of the vegetable market owners and made a normal dish of herb according to the traditional method. The taste was still very fresh, but it tasted mediocre. It could be said that it was a vegetable with good taste, but it was far from enough to make people linger. Heath frowned.
It seems that the people in Ziyuan Town have not discovered the true recipe of the lettuce, and oranges should be the ingredients that must be added. Without the seasoning of oranges, the taste of this lettuce will be inferior. Heath scratched his head. If this is the case, the taste will not be very good if a whole orange is put in, but maybe Heath can try to make some orange jam? Simply mash all the oranges, and then add them to the lettuce and stir-fry them together. This way, maybe you can achieve the effect you want.
Thinking of this, Heath tried it. The lettuce he made had a sweet and sour taste, which made its original taste even better. However, Heath still failed to complete his task, which gave Heath a headache. What went wrong?
Although he needed to entertain guests in order to complete the task, Heath found that the taste of the lettuce itself was not particularly good when he ate it himself. At least it was a little worse than the special ingredients in other cities. Whether it was Pallet Town, Quartz League, or Pitch Black City, the special ingredients in those places all tasted particularly good.
It even has its own food illustration guide, which shows how tempting the taste is.
"Dead vegetable... forget it, I'll add it to the dishes at the barbecue stall tonight and see if the customers will be satisfied after eating it. If the customers eat it and complete the task, then it proves that the taste of this dead vegetable is indeed like this." Heath tried a few more times, and even removed the white fibers of the orange, but the taste did not improve much. Compared with those magical ingredients Heath had eaten, this dead vegetable was just mediocre.
After putting the remaining lettuce in the cabinet, Heath turned his head to look at the Farfetch'd Duck beside him. The other party was looking at Heath curiously, his big eyes looking at Heath's hands and the lettuce. Heath was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, no task was triggered, so Heath was relieved. Otherwise, Heath himself didn't know if he could help Farfetch'd Duck complete the task. After all, Heath was still not very sure about the lettuce.
"It's about time to go check out that Pokémon." Heath stretched lazily. Of course, he still remembered that the previous clue mentioned a special Pokémon. Heath planned to go and see what Pokémon it was. Otherwise, this matter would be like a small thorn in Heath's heart, making Heath feel itchy and he wanted to fly over to check it out immediately.
"Trainer, are we going to set up the stall?" When Heath started the food truck, Zoroark and the entire Pokémon were shocked. What time was it now? If they had to go so early, Zoroark said he really couldn't bear it.
"What are you thinking about? I'm just going to the Pokémon Tower." Heath rolled his eyes. This little guy has been nervous all day. If the store opens so early, who would come to eat barbecue?
But wait, it seems that there is barbecue in the morning, but the barbecue is often renamed in the morning, such as barbecue, barbecue self-service, buffet, etc. Heath had noticed before that some restaurants in Ziyuan Town have launched very distinctive barbecue buffets, and the most important thing is that there is no time limit. If you want, you can even eat from morning to night.
Heath felt that if a big eater came, the restaurant owner would probably cry out loud, but the people here seemed to be of good quality and no one was occupying a seat waiting for another meal.
