Chapter 707 The mouse and the cat sat together
The method of making dry-pot shrimp is not complicated. The only trouble is probably opening the shrimp back and removing the shrimp thread. When Heath handled shrimp for the first time, he found that the shrimp threads of these shrimps were particularly difficult to break, which made Heath very troubled. However, after Heath did it more often, he knew how to pull the shrimp threads. Later, Heath could say that he pulled the shrimp threads quickly and cleanly, and he could open the shrimp back without even looking at the knife. However, this is not a good habit. Even the most experienced chefs sometimes accidentally cut their hands, so you still need to concentrate when cooking.
"Heath? It's really you!" A familiar voice. Heath was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and saw Ms. Lori looking at him with surprise and joy . There were four people following Ms. Lori, three men and one woman. Heath didn't know them, but he knew Lori. Heath also found that Ms. Lori was not wearing ordinary clothes today, but a uniform. Heath instantly judged what Ms. Lori came here for.
"Ms. Lori, good afternoon. Would you like something to eat?" It is a pleasant surprise to see an acquaintance. Heath himself was quite surprised. However, after taking a look at Miss Nancy who suddenly became serious, Heath felt that Miss Nancy was probably the most nervous person in the restaurant. After all, Miss Nancy was a member of Team Rocket, and was naturally the opposite of an Alliance investigator like Ms. Lori.
What's more, this time Ms. Lori came with her teammates, a total of five Alliance investigators, which instantly made the restaurant quieter. This is not to say that Heath's restaurant is full of lawless criminals, but because the identities of Alliance investigators are often quite special. It's like in the previous life, if people saw a policeman wearing a police uniform coming in to eat, they would subconsciously feel a little nervous.
"Haha, I really didn't expect that you would be in Dead Leaf City. I've been very bored ever since you left Evergreen City." Ms. Loli walked over happily. When passing by Miss Nazi, Loli glanced at Nazi, but didn't say anything. Instead, she walked over enthusiastically and looked at Heath happily. Heath was a little amused. Ms. Loli was still Ms. Loli. There was no one else like her.
The other four Alliance investigators also walked in. Heath had never seen these investigators before, which was normal. After all, there were a lot of Alliance investigators, not just these few.
"I'm still traveling in Kanto, but I have got some very interesting things during this period, the secret seasoning of the Padia region, which I guarantee will make you, Ms. Loli, enjoy the meal." Heath was also very happy because he saw a big black guy coming out from behind Ms. Loli. It was Gengar, and Heath played a game of rock-paper-scissors with Gengar very skillfully.
Seeing Loli's Gengar playing rock-paper-scissors with Heath, the teammates behind Loli had some strange expressions on their faces. They had heard from their Pokémon before that Loli's Gengar especially liked to play rock-paper-scissors, and the kind that came with a penalty. At first they were wondering why Loli's Gengar suddenly liked to play rock-paper-scissors, but now they seemed to know the reason.
"...You lost again, Gengar, but this time...well, I have to go back and look through my record book..." Heath looked at Gengar proudly. This guy Gengar was too easy to guess. This time he played scissors, and Heath's rock won directly. However, Heath hadn't played rock-paper-scissors with Loli's Gengar for a long time, so Heath really didn't have the book that recorded the number of wins and losses between himself and Gengar.
Gengar shrank back angrily, his face full of unhappiness. Loli watched with a smile, and had no intention of blaming Heath. She knew that her Gengar also wanted to play rock-paper-scissors with Heath. The two little guys seemed to be at odds with each other, which made people feel both funny and helpless.
"Don't sell me any secrets to winning or losing this time~" Ms. Lori smiled playfully. Heath touched his nose embarrassedly. Ms. Lori was obviously a woman in her thirties, but she took good care of herself, so she still looked very charming at the moment. You would have thought she was only in her twenties.
"Ahem... Ms. Lori, what are you going to eat?" Heath poured the chopped ingredients in his hand into the big pot and began to stir-fry. A rich aroma wafted out. The dry pot made by Heath was made with a special sauce he prepared. The advantage of this is that the taste will be very good and easy to absorb the flavor. The most important point about the ingredients in the dry pot is that they need to be flavored. If not, the taste will be worse.
Fortunately, there is no such concern for dry-pot shrimps, because dry-pot shrimps often require the back to be opened to remove the shrimp thread, so the shrimps are easy to season and there is no situation where they cannot be seasoned. However, if they are larger pieces, such as ribs, they will need to be cut into pieces to be seasoned.
"Hmm...what is this?" Ms. Lori asked curiously as she looked at what Heath was making.
Heath hurriedly explained to Lori, and then Heath saw Ms. Lori talking to her companions over there for a while, and then she turned around after a while.
"Heath, some of my colleagues like to eat squid, some like to eat beef, I like to eat shrimp, and she likes to eat pork. I want to ask, in this case, can we mix the food we want to eat together?" Lori obviously wanted to eat this, but she was also a little conflicted because her teammates liked to eat different things.
"Ah... of course you can. There are two ways to solve it. The first is that I make it for you separately. The second is if you don't mind, I can make a mixed dry pot for you in one pot." Heath explained, and after obtaining the consent of her colleagues, Lori chose the mixed dry pot, and Heath had no objection.
Instead, after preparing the dry pot shrimp on hand, he asked Zoroark to serve it to Miss Nancy, while Heath also began to prepare the mixed dry pot for Ms. Loli and the others that they were going to eat.
Assorted dry pot is actually a hodgepodge. It looks simple, but there are actually some requirements, and the requirement lies in the ingredients. Squid has a strong taste, and if it is not handled properly, the taste will be mixed. Add to that the issue of the heat for different ingredients, and it is still a bit difficult.
