However, Heath never inquired about these matters. Every time he asked, Musashi would only say that it was a business trip arranged by the company, so Heath gave up on asking. Moreover, Heath knew that the Rockets would not let an outsider like him know about their arrangements.
"Good morning, Miss Musashi. Would you like something to eat?" Heath asked Musashi with a smile. Musashi's hairstyle was also very nice today, with flowing long hair and bangs. Heath thought Musashi's current sense of style was quite good. He wondered what Musashi had gone through in the future to have that strange hairstyle later on.
Heath sincerely hoped that Ms. Musashi's aesthetic sense would always be on point; otherwise, just thinking about the future Ms. Musashi gave Heath a headache, as that hairstyle was simply beyond the limits of Earth's aesthetic standards.
Miss Musashi yawned and then slowly walked in. However, Heath noticed that Miss Musashi was carrying a book. Heath had a good eye and could tell that the book was called "Complete Solution to Past Exam Questions for the Pokémon Medical Certification Exam," a very long title and a very thick book. Heath raised an eyebrow. Why was Miss Musashi reading such a book?
"Miss Musashi, are you planning to take the Pokémon Medical Certification Exam?" Hiss asked curiously, looking at Miss Musashi. He remembered that Musashi had attended a Pokémon Medical School and even met a Chansey. However, Musashi may have lacked the potential to become a Pokémon Medical Certification Exam, so she was later expelled from the school. Hiss thought it was a pity. If Musashi had continued studying at the Pokémon Medical School and become a Pokémon Medical Certification Exam, her future life trajectory might have taken a completely different path.
“Well, I met Saya before, and she’s really amazing, so with her encouragement, I’m thinking of giving it a try.” Musashi gave a sweet smile. Heath was taken aback. So it was because of Saya. Speaking of which, Heath hadn’t seen Saya for a while, and he still remembered her quite well.
Putting aside the fact that the other party is a member of the Joy family, just the fact that this young lady ran away from home to become a trainer made Heath feel that this person was not a docile person.
"Miss Saya, I remember you were planning to become the best Pokémon Trainer." Heath smiled. Jessie had already been led to a seat by Zoroark. Zoroark was very hospitable and poured Jessie a glass of juice. This was a small perk that Heath gave to the customers of his restaurant. It was free and received unanimous praise from the customers.
Heath thought it was a great choice to spend so little money to get positive reviews from customers and then try to get some repeat customers.
“Saya told me last night that she came to Pewter City to challenge the Rock-type Gym.” Miss Musashi thought for a moment and then said. Heath raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he might still run into this runaway young lady.
"Miss Musashi, what would you like to eat?" Heath asked Musashi. Musashi was a regular customer of his, so Heath and Musashi were very familiar with each other. He didn't even need to look at the taste mark on Musashi's head to know roughly what Musashi liked.
Musashi is not a picky person. She likes almost all flavors except bitterness, and she also likes the feeling of being full. So whenever Heath cooks for Miss Musashi, she makes a portion for an adult man, and Musashi always eats her fill.
Men and women have some differences in appetite, but Musashi is an exception. Her appetite is similar to that of a man; she can eat a lot. It's impossible for her to have a small appetite. Musashi even said that eating her fill is the most important thing in life.
"Could you make me a quartz stew today?" Miss Musashi asked expectantly. Heath paused for a moment before realizing what a quartz stew was.
The Pokémon League also has convenience stores, which sell things similar to oden. However, in this world, it's called Quartz Stew. Although the name is strange, it is indeed a specialty snack in the Pokémon world. The way it's eaten and made is similar to oden. However, in Heath's opinion, it's actually quite difficult to make. The taste is very bland and needs to be paired with sauces or something to make it taste better.
However, aside from the bland taste, Quartz Stew is actually a very easy dish to make. In fact, all the ingredients for Quartz Stew can be bought in supermarkets. All you need to do is cook a pot of soup to easily make Quartz Stew.
“Of course, no problem.” Heath nodded. He didn’t buy any ready-made ingredients, but these things were really not difficult for Heath, a chef. They could even be described as simple. So Heath quickly used the ingredients he had on hand to make a quartz stew for Miss Musashi.
Quartz has a wide variety of ingredients, and Heath has plenty of them, so it's quite simple to make. You just need to skewer some things and slice some ingredients. Of course, there are some special foods that Heath can't make right now, such as strange dishes like squid and chicken meatballs.
"Miss Musashi, here's your Quartz Stew." Zoroark brought over the finished Quartz Stew, and Heath also included a dipping sauce. The Quartz Stew was so flavorful that it would be too bland to eat without some dipping sauce, and Heath wasn't used to the taste.
"Oh~ my star! My sun~ I have finally found you, my beloved whom I can never lose~" A flamboyant voice made Heath pause for a moment, then look up and saw a man in a white suit with a flower pinned to his chest rush in. He was holding a large bouquet of roses and knelt on one knee in front of Miss Musashi, speaking with deep affection.
Heath's lips twitched. Miss Musashi's face darkened. Heath almost laughed. He hadn't expected Miss Musashi to be so charming that he could actually meet someone who liked her in Deep Grey City, and it seemed that he was an extremely ardent pursuer.
Heath looked closely at the other person's face; thankfully, it wasn't Kojiro.
Chapter 439 Face Match
"Ah~ You are my angel, you are my dream~ You are my god~ You are the only motivation for me to breathe every day~ Please marry me~" The man was still speaking affectionately. Heath's lips twitched. What was going on? Why would Miss Musashi meet such a man? Heath looked at Miss Musashi with sympathy. However, Miss Musashi's charm was really great enough to make a man do such a thing.
Heath's curious and inquisitive gaze was naturally noticed by Miss Musashi, who sighed helplessly and looked at the man beside her.
"Sir, if I remember correctly, I don't know you, do I?" Musashi was utterly exasperated. This man was like a lunatic, relentlessly pursuing Musashi since yesterday, leaving Musashi completely defenseless. At first, Musashi was indeed secretly pleased, after all, this man was quite handsome. Being pursued by a handsome man proved that Musashi's personal charm was indeed outstanding.
But less than an hour later, Musashi regretted it. This man was like a leech, clinging to her and wouldn't let go. And that wasn't all; this man even started stalking and pestering Musashi, making it impossible for her to carry out her mission. To make matters worse, the man's clothes and behavior were extremely flamboyant, so Musashi couldn't find a suitable opportunity to deal with him.
"Miss Lu Meijia, you must have a bad memory, you probably won't remember me~ But from the first moment I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. You were so radiant at the ball, ah~ Miss Lu Meijia, you are my light~" the man said affectionately, and even tried to take Miss Musashi's hand and kiss it, which gave Miss Musashi goosebumps.
Heath paused for a moment. He glanced at Miss Musashi. He had heard what the man had just said very clearly. It seemed that the man had not called Miss Musashi by her name, but by another name, a more unique name.
Heath knew about Rumika because she was also a lookalike in the Pokémon world. Just like Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy look almost identical, Rumika looks almost exactly like Jessie. There was even a time when Jessie was mistaken for Rumika by Rumika's bodyguard. Rumika is a wealthy woman, a moderately wealthy woman, and she is engaged to James and is his fiancée.
"I told you I'm not some Lu Meijia, I'm Musashi, Musashi!" Miss Musashi was going crazy. This man was like a lunatic, constantly calling her Lu Meijia, but the problem was that Musashi really didn't know anyone Lu Meijia.
"Ah~ I understand, I get it. Miss Rumi, you must have run away from home and changed your identity to experience the life of an ordinary person, right? But it's really too careless of you not to bring a bodyguard. I'm very worried about you~" The man said with a smile. Heath rolled her eyes. Goodness, has this man read too many novels? He can even come up with a plot about a rich woman running away from home. When Miss Rumi came out to look for Kojiro later, she never abandoned the bodyguards by her side.
Heath couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't that the man had mistaken someone for someone else. After all, Rumija really looked exactly like Miss Musashi. If Heath hadn't watched the anime, he probably wouldn't have recognized Musashi and Rumija standing in front of him. Moreover, the two of them weren't from the same family, unlike Officer Jenny and Miss Joey.
So the Pokémon world is truly amazing. If someone were to appear in the future who looks exactly like Ash, Heath wouldn't be surprised at all.
“Sir, this Miss Musashi is indeed not Ru Meijia. I’ve known her for a long time.” Heath decided to help Musashi, otherwise this man would probably keep bothering her, and if he hindered Musashi’s mission, who knows what would happen to him.
"Oh, I get it. You just want to monopolize Miss Rumika, don't you? I can compete with you fairly." But as it turns out, there's no cure for cerebral palsy. Looking at this man's self-righteous attitude, Heath could only roll his eyes silently. It's estimated that in this kind of person's mind, nothing anyone says can change his thoughts.
Heath looked at Musashi with pity. Being entangled with such a talent was truly the worst luck. Heath was also quite helpless. This kind of man was impervious to both soft and hard approaches, and what he did wasn't illegal or criminal. Calling Officer Jenny wouldn't help either, since Officer Jenny couldn't stop someone from pursuing their crush, could she? Unless this man did something dangerous.
Miss Musashi left in a huff, and Zoroark clicked his tongue as he watched the man chasing after her.
“I feel like I’ve read what this man is saying in a novel,” Zoroark said excitedly, looking at Heath.
"Don't imitate that. In real life, talking like that will basically make you look like a lunatic or an idiot," Heath said seriously. Zoroark paused for a moment, thinking about how that man had spoken just now, and nodded seriously. He did look pretty stupid.
As noon approached, some reluctant students appeared in Heath's food truck. One girl looked unhappy, but she still ordered a curry rice customized by Heath, and Heath smiled and presented her with her Three Kingdoms limited edition card pack.
The girl tore open the card pack with a puzzled look on her face, and then Hiss felt the light in front of him flicker. Hiss was a little surprised that the girl had actually opened a legendary card. This really surprised Hiss, as legendary cards are not very common.
"Excuse me, what is this?" The girl became excited instantly and asked curiously. Heath glanced at it and saw that it was Diao Chan, one of the few female legendary cards.
"This is one of the most powerful cards," Heath said with a smile. The girl immediately said "Oh," but she didn't seem to understand it very well. However, Heath didn't care. The other children had already run over to buy them out of curiosity. As one card after another appeared, the girl's smile became even more smug, because no one else had ever opened her card.
Heath's curry chicken rice was a real crowd-pleaser for the kids, who were completely won over by his stomach. Heath didn't explain the game's rules in detail; the kids would figure that out for themselves.
"Please give me a curry chicken rice, uncle~" One by one, the children started to line up. Heath's lips twitched. How did he become an uncle?
Heath touched his chin; his beard was shaved very cleanly.
Chapter 440 The Eye of a Master Chef
Heath was so busy he was practically flying. If he could get some kind of superhuman reward right now, he would be overjoyed. But the problem was that he didn't get the reward, which gave him a real headache. Fortunately, there was Farfetch'd who could help him with some things, which eased some of the pressure on him.
Heath's curry chicken rice was a hit with the kids. Curry is delicious, and Heath's excellent cooking skills completely won over these little ones who were tired of the school cafeteria. Moreover, Heath's food is nutritious and healthy, and it's recommended by parents, so the kids feel very reassured when they buy it. If Heath's food hadn't been certified, why would parents let them buy it?
Of course, the main reason was the card pack that Heath included. It has to be said that the card pack was loved by the kids. Although not everyone liked it, some people quickly figured out how to use the card pack, and then even more people wanted to buy the card pack directly. However, Heath did not agree to all of them directly. Instead, he told them that it was only included with the purchase of a package. So, the fries that could be eaten as snacks and also included the card pack sold even better.
After the lunch break, Heath's food cart finally quieted down a bit. Heath sat down in a chair and stretched contentedly. The amount sold today gave Heath hope of breaking even. As long as he could continue like this for a while, recouping the cost of designing the card holders wouldn't be a problem. But what made Heath happiest was that one of his tasks was finally completed.
You have completed the Chef's Eye (Advanced) quest, and your Chef's Eye has been upgraded to Advanced.
Heath was quite pleased to see the notification, but to his surprise, the Advanced Chef's Eye seemed to be the ultimate reward. After completing the task, he didn't receive any further tasks, which disappointed him. He had expected there to be some kind of Ultimate Chef's Eye or Top Chef's Eye, but it turned out that Advanced was the most powerful Chef's Eye. However, Heath was still quite curious about how to use the Advanced Chef's Eye, although he was very clear about the effects of the Intermediate Chef's Eye.
"Hello, do you have anything to eat here?" A strange voice called out. Heath looked up and saw a man who looked quite robust. However, this wasn't the key to attracting Heath's attention. Heath's gaze was fixed on the man's head because Heath was finally seeing what kind of effect this master chef's eyes could have.
Heath could see his favorite and disliked tastes, and his requirements for food before, but now he discovered that he could see something else.
Foods that may cause allergies: eggs, rice
Heath was taken aback. The head chef had just given him something new: allergens. This surprised Heath. Heath thought this new feature was rather ordinary. After all, guests should know what they are allergic to and would definitely tell Heath when the time came. However, having a new feature was better than having none at all.
"Yes, sir, what would you like to eat?" Heath asked the man gently. If he couldn't eat eggs and rice, then the man's diet would be reduced, and he could forget about rice bowls or fried rice.
"I'd like to have a set of this... Jianbing Guozi, but without eggs. If possible, could you please make me some milk?" The man gave a shy smile, then took a bottle out of his pocket and handed it to Heath. Heath took it curiously. The bottle had no labels or trademarks on it, and it looked like it belonged to his family or was from one of the most traditional milk vendors on the street.
"As for milk... how about fried milk?" Heath thought of this classic way of eating it, and it doesn't require eggs, tastes pretty good, and would go well with a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).
"Fried...fried milk? Okay, boss, you can make it." The man was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that milk could be fried, but he still nodded in agreement. Heath then began to prepare fried milk for the man. As for the jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), Heath asked Farfetch'd to make it, since Farfetch'd's cooking skills were now more than enough to make jianbing guozi.
While fried milk might sound strange at first, similar to frying icicles, it's actually a completely different story. The preparation for frying milk isn't complicated. In fact, as long as you strictly follow the recipe, even a beginner can make fried milk, as long as you're attentive and don't have any 'unique' culinary talent.
Heath once taught a female colleague how to fry milk. That colleague invited Heath to her house to teach her how to make fried milk. Heath taught her from afternoon to evening, but the result was still not good. This made Heath realize that some people are really not suited to cooking.
What surprised Heath even more was the milk. The milk aroma was incredibly strong, which made Heath a little suspicious. He even wondered if the man had bought some milk with added flavoring. While cooking, Heath saved a small spoonful and tasted it. It was pure milk from a large milk jug, with no problems. The milk aroma was very strong, and the taste was more mellow and smooth. It was a bottle of milk of excellent quality.
"Sir, here's your jianbing guozi and fried milk, please enjoy." Heath took the money and handed the prepared dishes to the man. However, the man didn't rush to eat, but hesitated and looked at Heath several times, leaving Heath completely confused.
"Sir?" Heath was a little confused. Why was this man looking at him? Heath didn't quite understand, but still asked. The man then scratched his head awkwardly.
"Um, boss, my family owns a farm near Dark Grey City. I was wondering if you'd like to buy our milk? It's all from top-quality milk tanks!" The man hesitated for a moment before revealing his true purpose, leaving Heath stunned.
Heath had seen many salespeople, but this was the first time he had ever encountered such a unique one.
However, thinking about that bottle of milk from earlier, that milk with such a rich milky aroma, Heath was still very tempted. But there was one very important question that Heath needed to figure out, otherwise, he would never buy it.
Chapter 441 The Little Abacus Was Making a Loud Sound
These days, you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against others. As a chef, Heath knew very well what a good source of ingredients was like. In fact, you could say that this man's milk could be sold anywhere else without any worries about sales. But this man came to his place and even took the initiative to promote his milk, which was a bit suspicious. Heath had seen some swindlers before, such as those who would sell a big barrel of oil, but in reality, there was a plastic bag at the entrance containing high-quality rapeseed oil, and the rest was all water.
"I'd like to ask, your milk is of such good quality, why do you still come to my door to promote it?" Heath asked the man. This was a crucial question; Heath didn't want to be taken advantage of. This kind of thing had happened before in Evergreen City. Officers' Clubs in Evergreen City handled mostly various fraud cases. This wasn't because Evergreen City was home to a telecommunications fraud syndicate, but because there were so few other criminal cases in Evergreen City, so Officers' Clubs could only catch petty thieves.
If nine out of ten people arrested in Changqing City within six months are involved in fraud, then it would naturally appear that Changqing City has a high fraud crime rate.
“Well… my family’s farm is located just below the mining area. The river that flows past my house was once severely polluted, so…” The man was a little embarrassed, but he still honestly explained the reason. Heath raised an eyebrow. If that was the case, it seemed understandable. After all, it would easily make people worry about the safety and quality of his family’s milk.
"But don't worry, all the milk in my house is certified safe!" the man said anxiously. He took out a certification report from his pocket and handed it to Heath. Heath took it and glanced at it. The report showed that the milk in the man's house was indeed of high quality and had no pollution problems.
Heath was conflicted. As mentioned before, there were many scammers, and all sorts of self-inflicted injury schemes and even strange tricks were not uncommon. Moreover, the certificates and such might be fake.
Heath said he needed to think about it, and then sent the certificate number he had just written down to Officer Jenny for help in checking it. Officer Jenny quickly replied that the certificate was indeed genuine, and she also told him about the farm, so Heath had gained some understanding of the family.
"So how much do you plan to sell it for?" Heath looked at the man with interest. There was actually some hidden meaning in what the man said. For example, this man was a serious criminal who was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for drug manufacturing and poisoning. He had only been released from prison not long ago. Because of his identity, many people were very wary and resistant to this man. However, after his release from prison, this man was very honest and married an ordinary woman and had a daughter.
Heath had tasted the man's milk, and it tasted really good. Moreover, Heath had a special tool, so she didn't have to worry that the man was really planning to go back to his old ways. Heath's food detector could help her distinguish whether something was poisonous. She only needed to test it once a day when she bought it.
"I...I..." The man was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting that Heath really intended to buy his milk. He gesticulated wildly, and after a long while, he finally pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and began to mutter to himself while looking at it.
“The market price for large tanks of milk is 50 Union Coins for 500 ml. If you need our milk, we can offer you an imported price of 35 Union Coins for 500 ml. If you are willing to sign a three-year supply contract with us, we can offer you an incredibly low price of 28 for 500 ml. This is already the lowest price we can offer; we can only make a very small profit.” The man spoke as if reciting a book. Heath almost laughed, but what the man said was indeed true; 28 for 500 ml was indeed a very low price.
“I can buy it, but I’ll only be staying in Dark Grey City for a while, so a long-term contract might not be possible.” Heath nodded. If he had lived in Dark Grey City, or even in Evergreen City, Heath might have signed the long-term contract, since the milk from that family’s large milk tanks was really great.
“We can provide delivery service!” the man said immediately. Heath was stunned. Wow, they even offer delivery service?
“But I might be traveling all over the Kanto region, even as far as Lavender Town. Can you really deliver?” Heath asked the man in front of her curiously. With such high-quality milk in large tanks and delivery service, Heath wondered how this family could make a living.
"Sure!" the man said decisively. Seeing how certain the man was, Heath agreed and signed a contract with him. Heath looked at the name on it, and it was indeed exactly the same as Officer Jenny had said: Sanji.
“This name…” Heath clicked his tongue. He even wanted to ask the other party’s wife what her name was, but after signing the agreement, Heath bought ten kilograms of milk. Milk has many uses, and the milk from the large milk tank is very nutritious, making it a great choice for Pokémon.
Moreover, Heath can also use milk to make some desserts. Milk is needed in many desserts and is used in large quantities. Heath feels that she has made a good deal by being able to buy such high-quality milk.
"I'll deliver it to you right now!" The man excitedly grabbed his jianbing (Chinese crepe) and fried milk and ran out. Heath watched, somewhat amused and exasperated. This man was really excited, but Heath was also quite curious about how he planned to deliver the goods.
A moment later, Heath heard an excited voice. Curious, Heath went out to take a look and saw a man flying over on a skeleton bird. A banner was tied to the skeleton bird's back, which read in large letters: "Warmest congratulations to Heath's Little Chef for becoming Sanji Ranch's first long-term customer, providing permanent delivery service."
Heath's lips twitched. Goodness, there must be a shrewd woman behind this man. At the very least, she knows how to do marketing. Looking at the surprised looks of the people around him, Heath scratched his head. Although he had made some money, getting the customers of Dark Grey City to feel at ease dining at his place was also a troublesome problem.
After all, most people in Deep Grey City now know that they bought milk from Sanji.
Chapter 442 What an amazing woman!
"Mr. Sanji, you've really done a great job with your advertising." Heath curled his lip, looking at the man in front of him. He felt that behind the man's honest and simple mask was a scheming person, which made Heath a little unhappy. Although, given the quality of Sanji's family's milk, someone would eventually be the first to try it, Heath didn't want to be that first person.
“Boss Heath, my wife said that because we're using your name for advertising, the milk we provide to you will be free for the duration of our contract.” Sanji gave a good-natured smile. Heath was taken aback. Although Heath didn't ask for a lot of milk each time, the amount she had asked for over three years wouldn't be small. But she didn't expect Sanji to offer it for free, which made Heath feel much better.
As for how to reassure other customers about consuming the milk from his shop, Heath had an idea. He just needed to talk to Officer Jenny and establish a partnership with their testing agency. They could then test the milk each time they received a shipment and post the test reports at the door. That should dispel some people's concerns. As for those who still didn't believe him, there was nothing Heath could do.
