My Pokémon Story of Seasons

"Moo Moo fresh milk, rock salt, olive oil, sweeteners, tree fruits, fish, black truffles, and bamboo shoots..."

Renmei pressed the calculator, repeatedly confirming the unit price and total amount of various agricultural and sideline products.

Finally, amidst a shocked expression, the total price was announced.

"That's a total of 666600 Alliance Coins..."

She carefully counted the money three times and finally took out the exact amount from the stack of funds.

"Thankfully, the captain always gives me 100 million in funding, but if this continues, I feel like I'll have to apply for an increase in funding in the future..."

Tong Hua smiled and accepted the huge sum of money from Ren Mei, which was more than his current savings, and then put it into his treasured little wooden box.

"By the way, Renmei," Tong Hua turned to Renmei and said, "would you like to try some of the desserts we're preparing to sell?"

"Yes! Of course!" Renmei immediately raised her hand in agreement.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Tong Hua went into the kitchen and tied on an apron.

He had almost finished preparing the menu for the dessert shop yesterday.

First and foremost is Happiness Baofen; without it, Tong Hua would never have had the idea of ​​opening a dessert shop.

It can be said that Happiness Baofen is the soul of the dessert shop.

With her quick-cooking skills, Tong Hua prepared the batter almost instantly. She then heated and stirred it before pouring it into molds and placing it in the oven.

While waiting for the pastries to bake, Tong Hua made another dessert.

This is also a dessert made almost entirely from ingredients produced on the ranch—or rather, a condiment.

Its name is "Rock Salt Caramel Milk Sauce". As the name suggests, it is made by simmering fresh milk and sweet sauce together, and then adding rock salt and olive oil for flavoring.

Finally, just like making the batter for Bo Fun, keep stirring until it thickens.

This sauce was something Tong Hua created by chance while cooking last night; you could say it was a lucky find.

It can be stored for a long time after being sealed in a jar, and it's great for spreading on bread or mixing with porridge.

However, this sauce is not like the Happy Bo Fun sauce; it doesn't have any special effects, probably because it's still a semi-finished product. The information panel only shows a quality of C.

Tong Hua held a wooden spoon and slowly stirred the thick sauce in the pot.

The rich, sweet aroma of MooMoo fresh milk blends together at high temperatures, gradually revealing an enticing caramel color.

He pinched up a small pinch of rock salt and sprinkled it evenly into the pot. The salt grains melted quickly under the heat, adding a subtle layer of flavor to the sweet caramel.

"This flavor... is so unique!" Renmei leaned closer to the pot, took a deep breath, and her eyes lit up.

"It's sweet, but with a hint of saltiness; the aroma alone is enough to whet your appetite!"

Tong Hua smiled slightly: "Of course."

He turned off the heat, scooped up a small spoonful of sauce, gently blew on it to cool it, and handed it to Renmei: "Want to try some?"

Renmei didn't hesitate and immediately put the spoon in her mouth.

boom!

In an instant, Renmei's taste buds seemed to be lit up.

The rich milky aroma explodes in your mouth, the sweetness of caramel and the salty freshness of rock salt are perfectly balanced, and the aftertaste has a hint of fruity olive oil.

"Delicious!" Renmei exclaimed, her eyes wide. "It's so delicious!"

Tong Hua nodded smugly, then took out the baked Happiness Bomb from the oven.

"Try this too, but be careful, it's hot."

"Is this... Baofen?"

Renmei took the happiness baofen and gently broke it open.

The soft interior is still steaming, and the sweet aroma mixed with the fresh scent of tree fruit wafts over you.

She couldn't wait to take a bite; the crispy outer layer and the smooth filling created a wonderful texture.

"This is even tastier! Tong Hua, you're a genius!" Renmei mumbled, a little pink crumb sticking to the corner of her mouth.

Patchlitz, who was on her shoulder, also eagerly picked up a piece and began to savor it.

"Hehe, if you like it, take all of these home and eat them."

Please help me promote it!

Tong Hua put Bao Fen and milk sauce together into a basket and handed it to Ren Mei.

Renmei took the food basket, her smile widening.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely let everyone in Fengrao Town know about your skills, Tong Hua!"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Oh, right, there's one more thing... never mind, you'll probably figure it out soon enough even if I don't tell you."

Renmei tilted her head, about to ask Tong Hua what he meant, when she suddenly felt Patchlitz on her shoulder stiffen abruptly.

"Patchlitz?"

The little guy suddenly paused, then affectionately rubbed his cheek against Renmei.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly being so cheesy..."

Seeing this, Tong Hua smiled and explained, "Actually, this Happy Pofen has the effect of increasing the friendship level of Pokémon."

Moreover, it can even make you a little luckier.

"Huh?" Renmei was a little dumbfounded. "It tastes so good, and it can even increase intimacy?"

So, what does it mean to make someone lucky?

"The literal meaning," Tong Hua replied calmly.

Afterwards, Renmei left with a basket of things, and Tonghua returned to her daily work at the ranch.

Ultimately, Fairy Tale Ranch is now basically being taken care of by all the Pokémon, each doing their own job, so there doesn't seem to be much need for Tong Hua.

Tong Hua wandered around the ranch, but in the end, she still couldn't find anything to do. So she returned to the cabin alone and planned to prepare some things for the dessert shop.

"We really need a signboard, and it would be best to have a menu as well."

The road outside the ranch also needs some repairs, but it's a big project, so we'll do it slowly when we have more time.

The most important thing right now is definitely the menu; just two kinds of desserts are too few. One of them is even just a sauce...

We need to think of more pastries that are suitable for mass production and can be stored for a long time…”

So Tong Hua sat down at her desk again and started thinking about the menu...

……

Meanwhile, in Wind-Swept Town.

Having completed their daily mission, Renmei and Patchlitz returned to the base happily and walked excitedly to the front desk.

"Patrolman Renmei, mission accomplished!" "Terrifying!"

"You're back."

Guanglang, who was talking to the staff, turned around with a smile on his face.

Chief Patrolman Seven, who was in charge of handling the Chihouba and Milion incidents, has finally left, and Guanglang is overjoyed about it.

"Hehe! Captain, guess what good stuff I brought back!"

Renmei smiled and took out a piece of Baofen from the food basket. She had resisted the urge to eat it on the way back, so that she could save a few more pieces to promote Tonghua.

"What is this?" Guanglang took the pink Baofen and smelled it; a sweet and cloying scent instantly filled her nostrils.

"Try it and you'll see."

Urged on by Renmei, Guanglang raised an eyebrow and took a bite with some skepticism. But that one bite was enough to make this man, who didn't particularly like sweets, instantly addicted!

"This, this is so delicious!"

Where did this come from?

Guanglang stared incredulously at the remaining half of Baofen in his hand, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the crispy outer layer lightly.

He never imagined that a small snack could bring such an amazing taste experience.

"Hehe, isn't it delicious?" Renmei said happily.

"These were made by Tong Hua from Fairy Tale Ranch. He said he wants to open a dessert shop, and these Baofen are prototypes. He asked me to help promote them."

"So that's how it is..." Guanglang put the remaining half of Baofen into his mouth and slowly chewed and savored it.

"That's really well done! I didn't know he was so good at cooking?"

"It's not just delicious!" Renhao added kindly, "This Baofen can also increase a Pokémon's affinity."

Moreover, according to Tong Hua, it seems to make people lucky...

For the next period of time, starting from the Fengrao Town base, Renmei handed out a piece of Happiness Treasure to almost everyone she met.

After everyone tried it, they all subconsciously asked that question.

"Where did you buy these delicious snacks from?"

"It's the fairytale ranch of Chicory Village!"

The name of Fairy Tale Ranch gradually became known to everyone...
