Chapter 875: Lotus Root Powder for Cake Making
After all, the capitalists in his previous life were criticized for working 996, but Farfetch'd works almost all year round for him. Counting the days, since he captured Farfetch'd, he was only relatively free during the period when Farfetch'd had not yet started working as a chef. The rest of the time, only Farfetch'd could rest when he was resting. If he didn't rest, Farfetch'd basically had to help. Heath felt a little embarrassed. After all, the Alliance's labor law included the rights and interests of Pokémon, and the Alliance attached great importance to labor laws. If violations were reported, the consequences would be a fine of several million or even imprisonment. Heath didn't want to be labeled as a person who made Pokémon his sweatshop worker.
However, how to give Farfetch'd Duck a rest is actually a rather troublesome matter. After all, there are only two chefs in Heath's dining car, one is himself and the other is Farfetch'd Duck. Before, the dining car was not very big, and it would not be too troublesome to entertain the guests by himself. But now with more guests, Heath has to entertain more guests every day, which makes people feel a little distressed. With the help of Farfetch'd Duck, Heath can feel a little more relaxed.
As for hiring another chef? Heath had never considered this. After all, his food truck was not always in one city. If it was always in one city, Heath could hire people without any worries. Not to mention chefs, he could hire a lot of waiters. However, Heath's food truck was a traveling food truck. It was in Cerulean City today, and it might go to Sinnoh tomorrow. In this case, if he wanted to hire people, he would have to solve the problem of food and accommodation for the employees. And even if he solved it, there might not be many people willing to follow him.
So there was no way to recruit people, and Heath could only think of other ways.
"Hello, boss. Do you have lotus root powder for making rice cakes?" A girl's voice woke Heath from his thoughts. Heath was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw that Zoroark was busy receiving other guests, so he probably didn't have time to receive this guest. That's why the other party came to ask him. However, Heath was quite familiar with entertaining guests.
"Of course we do. Would you like to order one, sir?" Heath smiled. Heath had also had lotus root powder with sauce in his previous life. It was a specialty snack in Yun Province. However, after coming to the world of Pokémon, Heath discovered that there was such a magical thing as lotus root powder with sauce here. At first, Heath thought he had met a fellow traveler, but he soon determined that they were not fellow travelers, but the people here really liked to eat lotus root powder with sauce.
Lotus root powder for rice cake, as the name suggests, is actually made up of two things, one is lotus root powder, the other is rice cake. The two things mixed together have a very unique taste, but it is still mainly sweet. It also has quite a few fans, but because most of the lotus root powder for rice cake is sold at small outdoor stalls, few people come to Heath to ask if there is any lotus root powder for rice cake. After all, this thing is basically a snack, and it is not on the menu of his own food truck.
"Eh? Is it true? Please give me one portion. It's very troublesome to eat lotus root powder for making rice cakes in Hualan City recently. It's raining everywhere ." The girl was instantly happy. Heath smiled and glanced at the top of the girl's head. However, he was stunned when he saw it.
[Favorite flavor: spicy]
[Disliked taste: sweetness, bitterness]
[Food requirements: delicious lotus root starch for rice cake, sweet, the sweeter the better]
Heath admitted that it was the first time he had seen such a unique flavor request. You know, this is lotus root powder for cooking, which is basically sweet. It is very difficult to taste other flavors. And now a unique girl appeared here. She likes spicy food and hates sweet food, but wants to eat lotus root powder for cooking as sweet as possible. This made Heath a little confused. It was the first time he met such a customer. It was really interesting.
However, Heath felt that as long as the other party was not allergic to lotus root powder, he had no special rules about what the guests wanted to eat. What's more, if the guests wanted to eat it, they just had to provide it themselves, and other matters were not Heath's business.
The method of making lotus root powder for rice cake is very simple. First, use glutinous rice flour to make a rice cake. If you are not in a hurry, you can even make the rice cake look better, colorful. However, Heath did not make such a unique rice cake, but made ordinary black and white rice cakes. I have to say that the taste of the rice cake is actually very unique, and the taste is also very fresh. It tastes a little crunchy. Heath personally doesn't like to eat it very much, because the taste of this thing is very light, it is the type that is a little sweet but not too flavorful.
Lotus root powder is very simple to make. Although Heath knows how to make proper lotus root powder, he did not waste time making it. He directly used the lotus root powder he purchased from the Peppa Pig Chamber of Commerce. He brewed it and stirred it evenly until it became relatively viscous. Don't add too much water, otherwise it will not have such a viscous texture. After the lotus root powder is made, put the rice cake on it, and then pour the lotus root powder on the rice cake. In this way, a portion of lotus root powder for the cake is ready. However, considering the taste that the girl wanted to eat, Heath still poured a spoonful of syrup on it, so that the sweetness of the lotus root powder for the cake would be enough.
Heath asked Zoroark to bring it over, and then he continued to entertain other guests.
Zoroak also took the opportunity to bring over the lotus root powder cake. There was another girl sitting next to the girl, but she didn't order anything to eat. Zoroak had asked her before, and she said she had already eaten, so Zoroak didn't say anything else.
"Kayako, are you sure you want to eat something sweet? You never ate sweets before." Mieko looked at her friend worriedly. She didn't understand why her friend wanted to eat lotus root starch with rice cake. Even if it was rumored that the prince in the school liked to eat lotus root starch with rice cake, there would be no effect if she also ate it, right?
"Of course it's because Junsuke likes it." Kayako picked up the spoon sweetly, then took a sip with a sweet look on her face.
Mieko covered her face helplessly. She felt that her friend was hopeless. She probably didn't even think that she was eating lotus root powder in rice cake, but the delicious food fed by Prince Junsuke?
Love is terrible.
