The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 2: Wuwuwu~ I’m Being Disliked
After breakfast, Anjie began to prepare to entertain the guests. He was looking forward to what reward the system would give him after completing the task.

He went to the kitchen and took out the ingredients needed to make steamed buns, including warm water, white vinegar, flour, yeast, etc., and then started to work.

First add an appropriate amount of yeast to the water and stir evenly. After letting it stand for a few minutes, add flour and stir until the flour is stirred into flocs. Then add appropriate amount of flour and knead it.

During this process, the ratio requirements of water, yeast and flour are very strict, not one more or one less.

When kneading, you need to pay more attention to the strength, which should not be too strong or too weak. You need to use skillful strength. Even the direction of hand rotation when kneading flour, the system has provided strict training to Anjie.

It was Diancie who oversaw Anjie’s training.

Although Diancie from the Anjie family is usually gentle and never speaks loudly, once she becomes a system coach, her attitude becomes extremely strict.

The rapid improvement in Anjie's cooking skills is largely due to Diancie's strict requirements. With the blessing of the system, its eyes are as sharp as a sword and can easily spot any slight mistake made by Anjie.

After kneading it properly, Anjie applied a layer of vegetable oil on the surface of the dough, then placed it in a bowl to let it sit, covered it with plastic wrap, and then just waited for it to slowly ferment.

Applying vegetable oil can make the dough and water blend better, making the dough more elastic and softer, and prevent water from evaporating.

After doing all this, he washed his hands and called to Diancie: "Dianncie, how about we go outside and take a look?"

It is obviously unrealistic to stay at home and wait for customers to come to you. It is more realistic to go out and attract customers. Otherwise, who would know that you run a restaurant!

It’s a good time to go out while the dough is fermenting, and you can proceed to the next step when you come back.

"Okay!" Diancie poked her head out from behind the door frame.

"Let's go." Angel walked out of the kitchen and closed the door, then changed into casual clothes.

All the resources that Anjie is using now are provided by the system. According to Diancie, this is a benefit for novices. After the novice period, his food, clothing, housing, transportation, including ingredients for cooking, will need to be obtained by his own efforts.

Before leaving, Angel took away the empty bowl of the tree-pillowed bear and placed a cup of warm water next to it. "Tree-pillowed bear, please look after the house. Diancie and I are going out for a while."

The tree pillow bear turned over while hugging the tree pillow, stretched out its little paws to gently pull the small quilt covering itself, and then continued to sleep soundly without opening its eyes. Angel didn't know whether it understood or not.

Angie didn't worry about it, because that was just the habit of the tree-pillowed bear.

"Dianci, let's go."

"Coming!"

Each person and their Pokémon walked out of the house with a relaxed mood. It was a happy thing for them to go out together like this.

The two of them walked on the soft green grass, feeling the gentle time cast by the sky, letting the breeze caress their faces, and admiring the beautiful scenery of the Nibel Plateau.

Anjie opened his arms and took a deep breath, "The air here is really good."

Diancie also imitated Anjie, squinting her eyes and looking up, "Yes!"

At this time, a colorful butterfly flew across the sky, and Anjie waved to it in a friendly manner, saying, "Hi, hello!"

"Ah~~" Oh! It's a human being, so scary!
However, when the colorful butterfly saw Angel, it flapped its wings and flew away as if it were a plague.

Angie looked at Diancie dumbfounded and asked, "Dianncie, do I look so scary?" The little arrowfinch was like this, and so was the colorful butterfly.

Diancie gave a thumbs up and said, "Anjie is so handsome! The most handsome!"

"Yeah, then... forget it, let's go look somewhere else." As he said that, Angel continued to search for Pokémon with Diancie.

Not long after they walked, a small mound of earth suddenly appeared on the grass not far from them, and then a digging rabbit half poked its body out of it, holding the rhizome of an unknown plant in its arms.

Just as the Digging Rabbit took a small bite of the rhizome, it heard a voice.

"Good morning, Diggoo Rabbit."

"Roar~"

The Digger Rabbit was so frightened that it immediately shrank its head and hid in the hole, even dropping the food in its arms to the edge of the hole.

“Hula~Hula~Hula~~”

At the same time, a flower Beibei passed by in the sky humming a little tune. As it flew, its body swayed to the rhythm of the tune, as if it was dancing with the flowers beneath it as a stage, and it seemed to be in a very good mood.

But as soon as it lowered its head, it saw Angel.

“Hula~Hula~~”

() Hua Beibei's face was instantly filled with fear, and she almost fell off the fairy flower. She then ran away while screaming.

Anjie: ...

Diancie: . . .

After a long time, Angel saw a small claw stretched out from the digging rabbit's hole. It groped at the edge of the hole for a while, and after grabbing the dropped rhizome, it immediately retracted its hand quickly, as if there was something hot outside.

Anjie wailed, "Why on earth is this happening?"

Snap~Snap~~~
Influenced by his wailing, several rocket sparrows and little arrow sparrows passing by in the sky not far away quickly flapped their wings and flew away. They looked so panicked that Angel suspected that they would fall down because of their unstable flying.

Seeing this, Angie said angrily, "I just don't believe it. Do I really have a face that looks like it will eat Pokémon? Come on, Diancie, let's go somewhere else!"

Diancie pinched her hands in confusion and said, "Are they scared because they see me?" After all, it looks different now.

Upon hearing this, Anjie said without hesitation, "How is it possible? My Diancie is so cute, who wouldn't like her? I like Diancie the most!"

Angel's expression was exaggerated and confident, and Diancie was immediately amused. It said happily and shyly: "Since Angel said so..." Then I believe it.

"Let's go look somewhere else." Angel said and strode out.

"Yeah~" Diancie hurriedly followed.

This time, Anjie came to a big lake not far from the small building. There were many pink lotuses growing on the lake near the small building. The round lotus leaves were close to the water surface. Several mosquito coil tadpoles and mosquito coils were lying on it leisurely to bask in the sun.

From time to time, a few dragonflies and ancient giant dragonflies fly over the lake, gently creating ripples on the surface of the lake, and finally stop on the lotus buds that are about to bloom to rest.

At this moment, a voice broke the silence.

"Hello everyone, are you interested in making friends?"

When the Pokémon saw Angie's appearance clearly, the dragonfly and the ancient dragonfly immediately flapped their wings and flew away, leaving almost afterimages. The tadpoles and mosquito-repellents also jumped into the water in panic.

Plop~plop~plop~~plop~~~
An innocent little mosquito tadpole did not run away immediately, but blinked its big round eyes, tilted its head, and looked at Anjie curiously. Anjie was delighted to see this, and was about to step forward to have a deeper exchange with the mosquito tadpole, when a mosquito gentleman poked his head out of the water, pulled the mosquito tadpole's tail and pulled it into the water and disappeared.

Anjie looked at the ripples rippling back and forth among the lotus leaves, and felt sad for a moment.

He now doubted very much whether he had some aura that made Pokémon afraid.

His biggest wish in life is to be able to play with Pokémon. Could it be that God allowed him to travel to the Pokémon world but could not fulfill his wish? Isn't this bullying an honest man?

Angel cast his eyes towards the lake, and saw Wubo's head emerging from the water at some point. They looked at Angel cautiously, and when they noticed that Angel was looking at them, they immediately dived into the water in panic.

Anjie: ...

"Forget it, let's go home first."

By this time, the time for the dough to ferment was almost up, so Angie had to go home dejectedly with Diancie.

On the way home, Diancie comforted Angel, "Don't be discouraged, Angel. It's probably just the first time they see you, and they're not used to your human identity yet. It will be fine once you get familiar with them."

When Angie was weak and sickly in the past, he could not help but secretly envy others who were full of energy and vitality. Every time this happened, Little Diamond would come to comfort him.

Although they couldn't communicate directly in words at that time, they understood each other's thoughts, and every time Diancie comforted him, his restless heart would calm down again.

It's the same this time.

Anjie hugged Diancie tightly and said, "Fortunately, Diancie is always with me."

Diancie hugged Anjie back, patted his back gently and said, "Of course I will always be with you, Anjie. Let's go home. We can take our time with the mission. There's no need to rush."

After the man and his Pokémon returned home, Turtle was still sleeping soundly, but when it heard the noise of Angel coming back, its big ears trembled slightly.

Seeing that the warm water he gave to the tree-pillow bear had been drunk by it, Anjie pinched the tree-pillow bear's ear and said, "Tree-pillow bear, you have worked hard to look after the house!"

The Tree-Pillow Bear's short tail twitched uncomfortably.

Although Pongo has a small body and a cute appearance, Angie guessed that it might be a powerful Pokémon.

He had tried to use the Eye of Observation to look at the data on the Tree-Pillowed Bear, but failed.

According to Diancie, Ange's Observation Eye cannot see Pokémon with a higher level than his own starting Pokémon, which means that Turtletail is at a higher level than Diancie.

Diancie's level is 50, which is already very high, far exceeding most wild Pokémon.

Diancie has been with Angel since she was a child. Although Angel was weak and sickly and neglected to train her, under the training of the royal family of the Kingdom of Azoth, the level of Diancie, who was still a small diamond, has been steadily increasing.

Then a Tree-Pillow-Tailed Bear that is higher in level than Diancie would be quite formidable.

However, Angie is a cook now, and he doesn't expect the Tree-Pillow Tailed Bear to fight for him, so the level doesn't matter.

Taking the empty cup away, Angie returned to the kitchen and continued working.

He kneaded the dough and found that it had been completely fermented, so he lit a fire and boiled a pot of hot water, put the dough in the pot and continued to ferment with the hot water.

After about thirty to forty minutes, the dough finished fermenting. Angel took out the dough. At this time, there were many small bubbles on the dough, and its volume was almost twice as large as before.

So Angie continued to knead the dough by hand until all the small bubbles were kneaded out, then he kneaded the dough into long strips and then cut it into equal sizes.

Finally it can be steamed.

Soon, the rich aroma of steamed buns wafted from the kitchen.

Diancie poked her head in at this time and asked expectantly, "Are the buns ready?"

Seeing that it was almost drooling, Anjie asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you hungry again? Didn't you just have breakfast?"

Diancie giggled and said, "It smells so good!"

Angel sighed here, it is worthy of being a legendary Pokémon, its digestive ability is so strong!

Don't think that what Anjie steams are just ordinary buns. In fact, the energy contained in them is no less than that of the Pokémon food sold outside. It is very beneficial for Pokémon to eat it, but Diancie can light up a whole pot of it at one time.

Every time Angie made fun of Diancie for her big appetite, it would chase Angie and beat him up.

Diancie: Nonsense! How can a lady have such a big appetite? (Note: Diancie has no gender.)
After the buns were steamed, Anjie turned off the fire, then opened the steamer, took out one, handed it to Diancie and said, "Here, have a taste."

Diancie couldn't wait to take the steamed bun, not even caring about the heat, and took a bite of it.

"Hmm~~~" It subconsciously closed its eyes with a look of enjoyment, "Delicious, so delicious!" It was the taste of happiness! "Anjie, I think your steamed buns are more delicious than before."

"Really?" Angie was very happy to hear that.

When Diancie finished eating, Anjie saw that it was still hungry, so he took out another one and handed it to it, saying, "Let's go outside and try to attract customers!"

You can't give up just because of a small setback. That's just not the right way to go!
"Okay!" After taking the steamed bun, Diancie clenched her fist with high morale, "If Anjie says so, it will definitely work!"

So the man and the Pokémon left home again.

A day passed in a flash, and when the sun set, Angie and Diancie returned home dejectedly, walking in the afterglow of the sunset.

Obviously they still got nothing. All the Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau avoided Angie as if he were a plague. They were unwilling to come into contact with him, let alone come to the restaurant to eat.

In the end, all the buns that Angie steamed ended up in Diancie and Tree-Pillow Bear's stomachs.

“Hey~Hey~~~”

After dinner, Angie sat at the door of his house, enjoying the cool night breeze and sighing.

Diancie came over at this time, took Anjie's arm and comforted him, "It's no big deal, we will continue to work hard tomorrow!"

"This is the only way." Anjie said helplessly.

After a hard day's work outside, Anjie was exhausted and his whole body ached. "Forget it, let's take a hot bath and go to sleep. We can talk about everything tomorrow."

“That’s right!” Diancie agreed.

"Let's go, take the Tree Pillow Tailed Bear with you!" Angel stood up and took the Tree Pillow Tailed Bear down from its crib. It was time for the Tree Pillow Tailed Bear to take a good bath.
