Chapter 750: Maocai
This reminded Heath of some public intellectuals who like to brag about a certain island country. There was once a public intellectual who probably didn't have much brains who once boasted that the island country did not have any illegal gambling industry, so the island country's civilization was so advanced and powerful. Then he asked how this familiar country was. But in fact, anyone who has some understanding of the island country knows that you can often see a kind of entertainment venue on the streets of the island country, that is, pachinko. This thing has even appeared in some cartoons, and pachinko is actually an alternative kind of gambling.
The gameplay is basically the same as this, except that Pachinko has special machines, and the prizes won can be exchanged for money in nearby stores. It can be said to be very civilized and advanced.
Heath shook his head and did not continue to look at that place. Instead, he took Shirona down. He planned to buy some ingredients and then ask the owners of the vegetable markets what kind of ingredients are special ingredients in Jinhuang City. Heath was still very concerned about this issue. After all, since he came to Jinhuang City, Heath must complete the achievements of Jinhuang City. After completing it, Heath can get some new rewards. Heath is still looking forward to this. He is very curious about what the reward will be this time.
"Heath, by the way, how long do you plan to travel in the Kanto region?" Shirona, wearing a sun hat, followed Heath with her hands behind her back and asked curiously. Heath was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Shirona meant by saying this. In Heath's opinion, Shirona might have said this just to ask him when he would go to the Sinnoh region.
"Well, let's see the situation. The travel time is uncertain anyway." Heath smiled. If he wanted to go to the Sinnoh region, of course he could go. There was no problem. Heath had no objection , but that had to be based on the fact that he had completed all the travels. In other words, he had to go to the Sinnoh region, but for now, he still focused on the Kanto region.
Shirona didn't say anything, but looked at Heath with a smile. Then she took out a small thing from her pocket and handed it to Heath. Heath took it curiously and took a look at it in his hand. It was a small bracelet with a peculiarly shaped thing on it. Heath thought it was a Pokémon at first glance, but after looking at it carefully, Heath found that this thing was not a Pokémon, but a legendary auspicious beast in the Sinnoh region. Heath knew about it because he heard it from Shirona.
Heath happily accepted the gift, then Heath took Shirona back to the dining car. He planned to make dinner for Shirona and his Pokémon. It was still light when he arrived in Golden City, but in just a short while, it was already dark here, and it was time for dinner. However, Heath was a little confused about what to eat for dinner today. However, after thinking about it, Heath decided to make some maocai to try. After all, speaking of maocai, Heath hadn't eaten it for a long time. Thinking of the taste of maocai, Heath couldn't help swallowing.
Maocai looks somewhat similar to hotpot at first glance, but the two are indeed very close. What makes Maocai famous is that it is cooked with Chinese medicinal materials, so it has a strong aroma. However, that was only the case at the time. Nowadays, there is basically no such thing as something new to cook with Chinese medicinal materials.
However, the taste of maocai is indeed very good. Even now it has become an evergreen in the food industry, and Heath himself likes to eat it very much.
Heath took a look at the taste requirements of Shirona and the others, and after confirming them, Heath began to make this maocai. As Heath made it, a pleasant aroma instantly came out, and Heath couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The Onion Duck outside also cast a curious look. It thought Heath was making hot pot. After all, the smell was like the smell of hot pot. However, after looking at Heath's cooking steps, the Onion Duck discovered that it didn't seem to be hot pot, but something . The Onion Duck became even more confused, and its little eyes were full of doubts.
Soon, a serving of maocai was ready. The ingredients Heath chose were all suitable for making maocai. Yes, maocai actually also has the problem of suitability of ingredients. For example, if you put fennel in maocai, although it is not inedible, you have to choose something less greasy, and it is best to have a lighter flavor, otherwise fennel will absorb oil and affect the taste of other ingredients. This is also a very important issue. However, Heath is Heath after all, and he does not need to worry about these problems when making these ingredients. Heath is still very confident in himself.
"What is this?" Zoroark looked at the maocai in front of her curiously. She also thought it was hotpot, but it turned out not to be.
However, Zoroark also secretly glanced at Shirona. She knew Shirona, and she was also perceptive enough to notice that the relationship between her trainer and this woman seemed to be a little different. This made Zoroark's gossiping heart full. If Shirona was not right next to her, Zoroark would probably want to ask a lot of questions.
"This is maocai, which is similar to hotpot, but not hotpot." Heath shrugged. Some people say that maocai is hotpot with ingredients cooked in advance. Heath thought there was some truth in that.
Charizard looked at the red maocai in front of him, picked up the chopsticks skillfully, picked up a piece and tasted it, then nodded happily. He liked the taste. Shirona blinked. Although she knew that Heath was a very special person, she really didn't expect that her boyfriend would choose to eat with Pokémon. This is a Pokémon. You know, many people treat Pokémon like pets. Their attitude is not too good, but of course it is not too bad either.
But this made Sirona laugh. She also liked eating with her Pokémon like this, so seeing this, Sirona's mood became cheerful. She held her chin and looked at Heath until Heath handed her a bowl of rice.
"I want to eat the meals you cook every day." Shirona winked at Heath. Heath was stunned for a moment and felt a little embarrassed, but still looked at Shirona firmly.
"Okay, I'll cook for you every day from now on." Heath smiled gently.
