Chapter 728 New Year's Eve
"Does the New Year start today?" The next morning, Heath was brushing her teeth and yawning, and Zoroark next to her asked curiously. This was her first time to celebrate this so-called New Year. When she was with her companions before, Zoroark had no impression or feeling about the New Year. After all, for Pokémon, every day is just every day and has no special meaning.
But after Zoroark started reading novels and getting active, she knew the meaning of the word New Year, so she was looking forward to her first real New Year in this world.
"Strictly speaking, today is not New Year's Day, but it is no different from New Year's Day. At this time, we usually have a New Year's Eve dinner or something." Heath spat out the toothpaste in his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and then answered Zoroark's question.
Is today New Year's Day? Strictly speaking, not really. Today is not New Year's Day. It can only be said to be the last day. Tomorrow is the real New Year. Today should be New Year's Eve, but according to the way of celebrating in the Pokémon world, today is actually New Year's Day. There is no difference. Seath is also planning to celebrate the New Year with Feng Jie and the others, and have a New Year's Eve dinner, so naturally there is no need to open the store for business. However, this does not mean that Seath can just sit back and do nothing.
At the very least Heath had to clean up and then start preparing the various ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner. If Heath was eating alone with Sister Feng and the others, it wouldn't be so troublesome. However, based on Heath's understanding of Sister Feng, Sister Feng would probably let him cook for an entire team of Junshas. This was not exploitation, but for Heath's own good. After all, the more people he knew, the more convenient it would be to do things in the future.
And it's not just about cleaning. The New Year in this world is very interesting. It also stipulates that you cannot throw things away on the first day of the new year, so Heath also has to sort out the garbage, get a haircut, change into new clothes, etc.
Although there are many people in Kuye City this time and the population is very large, so there are more Junsha in Junsha Brigade than in Changqing City, so it is really difficult to prepare New Year's Eve dinner for so many people.
What's more, this is not the first time Heath has done this. Heath has done this before. He always did this when he was in Evergreen City. And this time, with Master Wu Gui's recipe, Heath is more confident. When he was in Evergreen City, Heath even had to cook New Year's Eve dinner for Mr. Sakaki. Sakaki would buy a New Year's Eve dinner from Heath every year, and what he asked for was different every year. The last time Sakaki asked Heath for a fish, which meant surplus every year. But now Heath is not in Evergreen City, and Boss Sakaki probably won't buy vegetables from Heath anymore.
"New Year? I know about this. It's a holiday that you humans like very much." Dreamy interjected. It had finished washing up. Dreamy washed up very quickly. Now Dreamy was playing Go with Lalu Las, but this Go was more unique. Lalu Las needed to use his superpowers to condense a black chess piece and put it on. Dreamy said that this was a way to exercise superpowers, so Heath did not stop it.
At this time, Lalu Las was also playing the game seriously, but she still brushed her teeth and washed her face before going. Lalu Las was very serious when brushing her teeth and washing her face, and she was not distracted at all. It can be seen that Lalu Las likes brushing her teeth and washing her face very much. Maybe for her, it was a pity that she could not join Heath and others in their daily brushing of teeth.
"It's okay. I used to like it very much." Heath shrugged. Heath was happiest during the Chinese New Year in the past because he could get red envelopes. Feng and the others knew what Heath was doing, so they gave him a lot of red envelopes every year. Heath could give back a large sum of money every Chinese New Year, but that won't be the case this year. Starting this year, Heath will not accept red envelopes . He may have to give red envelopes to others in the future. Xiaozhi and Xiaogang had greeted Heath during the Chinese New Year before. Fortunately, Heath was not much older than them.
"Don't you like it now?" Huanhuan looked over curiously, then put a white chess piece down to make a four-piece row. Lalulas quickly condensed black chess pieces to block the white chess pieces from becoming five.
"I like it. Why not? The New Year is still quite interesting, but this year in Vermilion Leaf City, I always feel like something is missing." Heath washed his face and hung the towel aside.
Before he knew it, Heath had already regarded Evergreen City as his home. Although strictly speaking, Ziyuan Town was his home, after all, Heath had a house there, but Heath felt that Evergreen City was more familiar. Heath knew most of the people in Evergreen City and was familiar with the streets and forests there.
Just when Heath was about to go out to buy some New Year's Eve food, he heard a knock on the door, which made Heath a little curious. Who would knock on his door in Vermilion City? It was probably Miss Musashi or Kojiro and the others. If it was Sister Feng, she should have called him directly.
"Who is it?" Heath opened the door and saw a serious man in black clothes. He looked very serious, but when he saw Heath, he showed a sincere smile.
"Happy New Year, Heath." Boss Sakaki smiled at Heath and congratulated him. Heath was stunned. He really didn't expect that it would be Boss Sakaki who came this time. This is Boss Sakaki. He ran from Evergreen City to this place. Could it be that he was buying New Year's Eve food with him? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Heath thought that Boss Sakaki should be here to meet other members of Team Rocket. Who would run to another city to buy food?
…
"So Mr. Sakaki, are you here to buy New Year's Eve dinner?" Heath's expression became strange. He really didn't expect that Boss Sakaki actually planned to buy New Year's Eve dinner from him. This made Heath feel a little bit amused. He originally thought that Boss Sakaki should choose to stay in Evergreen City. Even if he really came to Vermilion City, it would at most be to solve the problems in Vermilion City. He didn't expect that he would actually come to him to buy New Year's Eve dinner.
"Yes, it's the same as usual, a New Year's Eve dinner, but different from the previous ones." Boss Sakaki smiled, Heath's mouth twitched, but he still nodded. Making New Year's Eve dinner was not a problem for Heath. At most, he could just make one now. As for the question of what to make, Heath had already thought about it.
