Chapter 79: Meat Dishes Without the Taste of Meat
There is no meat, but it tastes like meat and is a delicious dish.
I have to say that when Heath heard it, he thought there was something wrong with his ears, but after seeing the girl's affirmative smile, Heath felt that the other party must be serious.
"Please wait a moment." Heath lowered his head and looked through his food cabinet, then opened the refrigerator and took a look. He didn't buy many ingredients today, so it would probably be impossible to make vegetarian meat and chicken.
However, Heath has already seen the other two ingredients. If those two ingredients are prepared properly, it is not impossible to make the taste of meat by using vegetables.
"Yes, would you like some?" Heath clapped his hands and asked the girl in front of him.
"Hehe, of course. But I won't pay if it doesn't taste good." The girl snorted, then found a chair to sit down, and even wiped the table.
Heath didn't care about the girl's strange attitude. In fact, when doing business, he always met all kinds of customers. Heath had met customers with bad tempers many times.
The last time, Heath met two guests who came to eat in broad daylight. There was nothing wrong with eating, but they drank while eating and started to act crazy after drinking, which was very upsetting.
If Sister Junsha hadn't just passed by, Heath felt that his stall might have been overturned by these two guys. Thinking about it carefully, Heath felt a little regretful. He should have let them overturn it earlier.
After the incident, at least Heath can get some more compensation or something.
Heath opened the braising pot in the dining car, which was inherited from the small stall car. The braised food in it had been simmering for a long time and it was now considered an old pot. However, this time Heath did not take the braised chicken legs in it.
Instead, he took out a piece of braised tofu, which was what Heath was going to use.
However, in addition to braised dried tofu, Heath also needs peanuts. Fortunately, he had bought some peanuts before, so he can use them directly now. Otherwise, Heath would have to go to the vegetable market.
Heath remembered that when he was in school, his teacher once told him that a scholar named Jin Shengtan once said before his death, "Chewing dried tofu and peanuts together tastes like ham." This sentence had a profound .
Heath was also very curious at that time, why a writer would say this before he died. This made Heath very curious whether he could taste the ham.
Later, when Heath grew up, he bought some braised tofu, and then tried it with the fried peanuts at home. Sure enough, he tasted a little bit of ham flavor. Although the taste was not very strong, at least there was still a little bit of ham flavor in it.
Of course, many people have begun to make written explanations, saying that Jin Shengtan's words did not actually mean this, but this is destined to be an unsolved case. After all, no one can pull Jin Shengtan out and ask him clearly what the words meant .
So this time Heath planned to use his own braised tofu and the peanuts he bought to make a meat-free meat dish for this picky guest.
Heath cooked very quickly. After all, the braised tofu had been prepared long ago, and frying peanuts was even easier and simpler. After a while, Heath brought the braised tofu and peanuts to the girl.
"Sir, here is the dish you ordered." Heath clapped his hands confidently. He had just tried it and found that it did have a faint smell of ham.
"Really?" The girl looked at the things in front of her curiously. There was indeed no meat. She looked at Heath's confident expression again and became even more curious.
Just as the girl picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, Heath stopped her and told her how to taste the meat.
"I don't believe that these two things can taste like meat when eaten together." The girl curled her lips, but still did as Heath said and put the dried tofu and peanuts into her mouth and chewed them.
"It doesn't taste like meat, but it does have a light salty fragrance." The girl licked her lips and looked at Heath with dissatisfaction.
Heath was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he realized a problem. There seemed to be no ham in this world. In this case, it seemed normal that the girl could not taste the ham.
"It seems that I have to prepare more ingredients next time..." Heath sighed in his heart. The ingredients are not enough. If they were enough, he could make vegetarian chicken and vegetarian meat.
Heath was a little embarrassed. He was thinking about how to explain to the girl that the ham was the salty and fragrant smell at the back, but the girl started eating dried tofu and peanuts by herself.
"Although it doesn't taste like meat, it tastes okay. Here's your money." The girl put down a hundred Alliance coins and left.
But before leaving, the girl deliberately glanced at Heath and snorted, leaving Heath confused. He wondered if he had offended this girl at some point.
[You entertained the King of Phoenix, and you obtained the Mood Detector]
Heath was stunned for a moment. Ho-Oh? He actually entertained Ho-Oh? But Heath didn't see Ho-Oh today...
Wait, Heath took a look at the empty plates on the table and the girl's obvious attitude of looking for trouble, and then Heath realized, could it be that the girl with red hair and red eyes is the Phoenix King?
Heath felt a little Spartan. He never expected that he would be able to entertain Ho-Oh, and even entertain Ho-Oh who appeared in front of him in human form. This was simply incredible.
But if you think about it carefully, Mew and Latias can both transform into human form. It doesn't seem too strange that Ho-Oh, one of the mythical beasts, can appear in front of you in human form.
"This is really..." Heath was a little amused and helpless. For a moment, he really didn't know what to say.
However, Heath also took out the thing given to him this time from his pocket, something that looked like a pocket watch.
[Mood Detector: After aiming at any target, you can observe the target's current mood]
It was a very simple and easy to understand description. Heath tentatively aimed this thing at Farfetch'd who was training his arm strength. He wanted to see how Farfetch'd felt.
Then a fluctuation appeared on the pocket watch, and then a face that looked like an ancient figure appeared on the pocket watch, and then two words jumped out: exciting.
"The one just now... wasn't that Sun Ce from Three Kingdoms?" Heath's expression became strange. He didn't expect that he could thrive in the world of Pokémon.
Heath shook his head, but this thing seemed to be of some use, so Heath put it away for the time being. During the morning rush hour, there were more pedestrians on the street, and Heath was about to start his business for the day.
