Chapter 616: Bad Dining Experience
Thirty million Alliance Coins is an astronomical figure even for Heath now. After all, this is thirty million Alliance Coins, not thirty million Zimbabwean Bis. How many people in the Pokémon League cannot earn that much money in their entire lives, but it has been sold at this moment, and behind Heath there is a person who feels frustrated because he cannot buy it. The gap between people is sometimes really greater than the gap between people and dogs.
No , it can even be said that the money some people spend on food in a month may not be as expensive as what other people’s pet dogs eat in a day.
"Yes, sir, I'm really sorry, because the champion-level Pokémon encyclopedia is only sold once in each league region." The staff member explained to the man in front of him very enthusiastically. Hiss had never been treated like this before, but he didn't care. After all, the other party was a tough guy who was willing to pay 30 million League coins, so it was not surprising that he received such treatment.
"That's such a pity, I originally said I would buy it for my daughter so she could play with it." The man walked out dejectedly, then got into a luxury car and left. Heath glanced at him and didn't care. After all, other people have their own lives, and the other party was not an acquaintance of Heath. However, Heath was looking forward to some bloody plots, such as a rich second generation coming out and saying that he bought the championship-level thing himself, and then the two of them started fighting for it, and finally welcomed the Dragon King or something. That would be quite interesting, but the other party left quite decisively.
Heath left the bookstore with his illustrated guide and the New Leaf Cat figurine. Because of the long queue, it was already 6:20. However, there was still some time before Heath's food truck closed. In order to avoid going back now and causing the mission to fail, Heath gave up the idea of going over to take a look. Instead, he opened his phone and found the most famous restaurant in the EMI area besides the Xianxia restaurant. Heath planned to try the food in this restaurant, and if there were any very interesting dishes, it would be even better.
This doesn't mean that Heath intends to copy other people's recipes or something. Although strictly speaking, recipes are not confidential. What can be kept secret is often the ratio of seasonings or secret sauces. Of course, there are also some old restaurants that have their own word-of-mouth recipes. However, Heath does not intend to peek into other people's recipes this time. He just wants to draw some inspiration from other restaurants' specialties to develop his own dishes.
The last place Heath came to was a restaurant called "Lakeside Yazhu", which was the only restaurant below the Leisure Restaurant in the Baidai City restaurant review rankings. At first, Heath didn't quite understand why this restaurant was called such a name. After all, there didn't seem to be any lakes in Baidai City. But after coming here, Heath knew it, because this restaurant was actually next to a small lake, and there were a lot of people dining here.
Heath was looking forward to this. After he went in, the waiter was also very enthusiastic. However, when the menu was brought up, the prices on it made Heath a little scared. A seemingly ordinary plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes cost a full eighty-five Alliance coins, and there was also a roast chicken that cost a whopping three hundred and twenty-five. However, considering that the ingredients were very solid, this price did not seem unacceptable.
So in the end Heath ordered four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. One of the meat dishes was also a staple food, black pepper steak pasta. Then Heath sat in his seat and waited for his meal. However, Heath waited for more than half an hour and no dish was served. The corners of Heath's mouth twitched. Just from this point, Heath's expectations for this restaurant dropped a lot.
Although the waiter's attitude was very polite and enthusiastic, Heath still felt unhappy. No matter how many times he asked, the waiter only served some snacks or cakes. As soon as Heath tasted it, he knew that this was definitely a ready-made pastry bought from outside, and the edges were a little hard.
After another five minutes, Heath finally waited for his dish, but this time it was all served at once. Heath took a deep breath and didn't care about it, but began to eat his rare dinner. However, as he ate, Heath's expression became strange, because the taste of these things was really hard to describe.
It's not that the food is terrible. After all, if it was really terrible, the business of this restaurant would not be good. But from the perspective of Heath, a chef, the food of this restaurant is really not worthy of its high popularity. But then Heath thought of another thing, which is that sometimes the high scores of some restaurants are not really that high, but the other party paid a lot of money to get them. After all, this kind of thing was not so uncommon in the previous life.
"...No way? Are these also brushed in the Pokémon world?" Heath's mood was complicated. After he finished eating, Heath's mood became even more complicated. He was now certain that this restaurant must have brushed the food. These things tasted really bad, especially the black pepper steak. Heath could not taste the flavor of the steak, it was all black pepper. Heath later rinsed the steak in water, and only then could he taste the flavor of the steak.
It was a very bad steak. Heath was not even optimistic about the quality of the beef. The restaurant charged Heath 188 yuan for this portion of black pepper steak pasta. Heath felt that the restaurant had at least made a profit of more than 100 yuan from him.
Heath sighed. He felt that he had definitely been ripped off this time. This rip-off restaurant was simply amazing. Although the environment was very good, the taste was really bad. No wonder those who gave good reviews all used the presentation and environment as excuses. If they didn't mention these, it seemed that there would be nothing else to say.
Heath left with a depressed look on his face. He wondered if he should create a food review account, just like some of the restaurant review hosts in his previous life. Heath really felt like a pig being slaughtered by others during this meal. This feeling was so bad that Heath almost couldn't control his emotions and tried to be gentle and easy-going when paying the bill.
All in all, this dinner was quite disappointing, and Heath silently gave it a bad review.
