"I..." However, Heath was stunned when the girl spoke, because what she wanted to eat could be described as very simple, and Heath felt that it was not difficult at all. The difficulty was almost negligible, the kind of thing that was given away for free.
Chicken soup rice is really simple. Heath thinks the most technical part is probably making the chicken soup. Apart from that, Heath really can't find any technical difficulties. But out of habit, Heath still looked up at the prompt boxes above the girl's head.
Favorite flavor: light and crispy
Disliked flavors: sour and spicy
[Foods that cause allergies: Egg yolks]
[My requirements for food: I want to eat chicken soup with crispy rice crust. The best dish is hot crispy rice crust in a clear chicken soup. It would be best if it had a little salt.]
Heath's lips twitched involuntarily. This request was indeed unique. However, the girl did not mention that she planned to eat rice porridge with crispy rice crust, and that she would make chicken soup first and then put the crispy rice crust in.
The so-called crispy rice crust is actually the hard or slightly burnt layer that forms on the bottom of the rice cooker when cooking rice. It has a unique texture, and while many people like it, many others dislike it. In Heath's opinion, the simplest way to eat crispy rice crust is to just take a lump of it, add some pickled vegetables, and you're good to go.
However, since the girl said she wanted chicken soup rice, Heath would naturally prepare a special chicken soup rice for her.
"Chicken soup, thank goodness for Dialga's pressure cooker... Dialga is truly a chef's superman. If Little Master can capture Dialga, what need is there for legendary cooking utensils?"
Chapter 462 Unexpected events always catch people off guard.
Heath was focused on making the chicken soup. The girl was allergic to egg yolks, so Heath didn't add any eggs. Actually, as far as Heath knew, some people who made chicken soup would add eggs to enhance the flavor or make the soup taste more like chicken. However, Heath had only heard of this recipe, but had never actually seen it, so Heath had no intention of making this kind of chicken soup.
Chicken soup is easy to make. The simplest way is to remove the feathers and inedible parts of the chicken, then put it in water and boil it. Of course, there are also more unique ways to make it by adding some Chinese medicinal herbs. Heath made it the most traditional way. With Dialluca's pressure cooker, it was quite fast to make. When Heath finished making it, the chicken soup looked great.
"Next up is the rice crust." Since it's just this girl here, Heath can take her time making it, so there's not much of a rush. If there were other guests, Heath would have to coordinate the speed and order of food preparation among them, which would be quite troublesome.
The rice crust was even simpler. Heath's food truck cooked a lot of rice every day, and this time the rice was cooked as well. All that was needed was to peel off the rice crust at the bottom. However, Heath followed the girl's instructions, first ladling chicken soup into a bowl, then putting the rice crust in, along with a few pieces of chicken, and finally sprinkling a little salt. A chicken soup rice porridge specially made for this girl's taste was then ready.
"Miss, here's your chicken soup rice." Heath brought over the chicken soup rice she had just made. When there weren't many customers, Heath would occasionally serve dishes to them without thinking. This was probably because Heath had always cooked for herself before. Although she now had Zoroark's help, Heath was still used to living alone.
"Huh? Okay, thank you." The girl took it, looking utterly shocked. Heath had actually made it for her with rice crackers, which instantly warmed her heart. She eagerly picked up a piece of rice cracker with her chopsticks. Because it had just been soaked, it was still a bit firm. She took a bite, and her expression softened considerably. Heath glanced at it, smiled, and said nothing more. He returned to his kitchen, where he was thinking about other ways to cook rotten eggs.
[You entertained Renna, and you received "A Detailed Introduction to Archaeology"]
Heath paused for a moment. The girl's name was Lenna, which wasn't strange. In the Pokémon world, there were grown men named Ash, and Heath had even heard of burly men in their forties named Dawn. What was strange was that the girl gave him a book, which reminded Heath of Karenia. When he entertained her, she also gave him a book, but it was a book on criminal psychology.
Now that Heath had a better understanding of his cheat ability, he realized that since this girl had given him the book, it meant that she was probably an archaeology major. No wonder she was Cynthia's friend; Heath remembered that Cynthia was quite interested in archaeology.
Although he knew about it, Heath didn't interrupt. He calmly pondered his rotten egg sauce recipe. If the girl was willing to eat at his place in the future, then Heath would only need to cook for her.
"Heath, do you have time to make lunchboxes?" Just as Miss Rena was eating, Officer Jenny rushed in and quickly walked up to Heath, anxiously asking.
Heath paused for a moment, but nodded nonetheless. He naturally had time to make lunchboxes; after all, it was afternoon, and there was still plenty of time before lunchtime. Heath had ample time to prepare lunchboxes. However, he couldn't immediately figure out why Sister Feng wanted him to make lunchboxes. Could it be that Officer Jenny in Deep Grey City was about to get busy again? But hadn't they just finished yesterday? And Heath remembered that Sister Jing had said he didn't need to make lunchboxes today.
"Hurry up and make fifty-eight servings, I need to get there quickly." After saying that, Jun Shafeng hurriedly left, leaving Heath stunned.
"What's going on?" Heath felt uneasy. The scene before him reminded him of the day the chemical plant in Evergreen City had a problem. The Officers were eating, but they left together very quickly, without any intention of stopping.
"It seems there's been an accident at a mining site in Dark Grey City." Miss Lenna waved her phone. Heath was taken aback. An accident? That's really serious. If that's the case, we definitely need to make lunchboxes as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Heath didn't have time to consider the rotten eggs. He quickly made the lunch boxes. Considering the poor air quality in the mine and the energy and nutrients the body needed to replenish after strenuous physical labor, Heath made curry rice. Large chunks of tender pork chops quickly turned golden brown in Heath's hands and were then placed on top of the rice. After making fifty-eight servings, Heath hurriedly packed them up and planned to drive the food cart over quickly. However, before he could even start driving, Heath noticed that Miss Lenna was still sitting in his food cart.
"Let me help." Miss Lenna nodded at Heath and then released a Skarmory. Heath was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded. Having a Flying-type Pokémon would indeed speed up the food delivery process considerably.
After telling Zoroark to take good care of the house, Heath followed Miss Lenna out, sat on Skarmory and flew towards the mine. Soon, Heath saw a large number of Officer Jenny motorcycles and Miss Joy's ambulance, with people below bustling about like ants in a scramble.
Heath hurriedly went down, but was stopped by Sister Ling.
“Heath, no unauthorized personnel are allowed inside right now. Give me your lunchbox.” Officer Jenny’s expression was serious. Heath knew the importance of the matter, so he simply handed the lunchbox to Officer Jenny.
After giving out the boxed lunches, Heath paused for a moment, because he saw the two happy eggs covering a man on a stretcher with a white sheet, their faces filled with sorrow, and then bowing their heads in silent mourning.
Heath lowered his head. It seemed that this accident was far more serious than the previous chemical plant accident. Heath sighed.
Chapter 463 The Guest on the Other Side
Although Hiss often joked that everyone in the Pokémon world is a super rookie with amazing physical abilities, people in the Pokémon world do die. Every year, many new names are added to the cemetery and temple altars of the Pokémon League. However, seeing this scene with his own eyes still made Hiss feel bad. But Hiss also knew that he couldn't do anything to help at this time, so he could only go back dejectedly.
Miss Lenna didn't send Heath back, because she was left behind. Heath then learned that Miss Lenna was not only an archaeologist, but also a geologist. With her there, they could help plan how to rescue the people below.
Heath shook his head. There wasn't much he could do; he only hoped that the food he had prepared would fill the busy Officers' bellies and give them the strength to face the challenges to come.
You have triggered a temporary quest: The Guest on the Other Side.
[The Other Side of the Guest: Please stay open all night tonight and entertain your guests well. Start your new life and you will receive a mystery reward.]
Heath was stunned. What the heck? If they weren't still at the accident scene, Heath would have been dumbfounded. This could actually start a mission? But looking at the mission description and name, Heath was filled with confusion. Could this mission refer to…
Thinking of this, Heath hurriedly walked away, hailed a taxi back to his food truck's parking spot, paid, and immediately got out and returned to his truck. Once back in his truck, Heath calmed down. He sat down, rubbed his face, and confirmed that he hadn't misread it. The task did indeed require him to operate all night and provide excellent service to the evening's customers. Normally, this wouldn't be strange; at most, it would make Heath wonder if he needed to run an all-night operation. However, looking at the task's title, something else came to Heath's mind.
The Pokémon world has a world of the dead, and Sheath knows this very well. From her previous visit to the Reverse World where Giratina is located, and her accidental encounter with Mr. Lordan's mother in Pallet Town, Sheath knows that there is an afterlife in this world. In that world, people grow younger and younger as they live, slowly shrinking until they become a baby and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.
This world is really interesting, but it seems that people from that world rarely appear in this world. So far, Heath has only seen one ghost, Officer Jenny, but in the anime, Heath remembers that there are also ghost girls.
Heath felt that this other side of the guest might be someone he needed to entertain, especially those guests from the reversed world.
After all, when Heath learned of the existence of the Reverse World, he obtained an achievement called "The Other Side of the World," so this mission is most likely related to that world.
However, this mission caught Heath somewhat off guard, and its requirements were also quite unique.
"All night long." Heath's eyes were a little dazed. Heath was very familiar with the term "all night long." After all, in his previous life, Heath was also a wild child when he was young. He was known as the "little prince of internet cafes." When Heath had just turned eighteen, he went to an internet cafe and stayed up all night. Then his mother caught him and gave him a good beating.
When Heath stayed up all night, he was full of energy. When he got off the plane, he could force himself to have breakfast and then walk home. He had agreed to lie down in bed for a bit, but he ended up lying down until night.
Later in college, I often stayed up all night with my roommates. But back then, we would all be so sleepy by 5 or 6 a.m. After I started working, I felt that my energy was not as good as before. When I stayed up until 2 or 3 a.m., I felt like I was about to die. So I gave up on staying up all night. But now I didn’t expect to stay up all night again, and it’s even an all-night business, which makes me feel like I’m working overtime at the company.
However, staying up all night is not a good thing. The human heart and brain need to rest during sleep so that the heart can catch its breath and the brain can be properly cleansed by cerebrospinal fluid flushing the surface of the brain. But if you stay up all night, it will increase the burden on both of them, and you will look a bit sluggish. This is because the brain does not get rest, the cerebrospinal fluid cannot flush out harmful substances on the surface, and the heart does not get rest, which will increase the burden on the heart and lead to various heart problems. This is why many people die suddenly after staying up all night.
However, in order to complete this task, Heath had to stay up all night. Since that was the case, Heath felt that he needed to find a way to reduce the damage caused by staying up all night. The best way to prepare was naturally to go to bed early. Apart from that, all other methods were not so reliable. With this in mind, Heath drove the food truck back to the Officers' dormitory area. At this time, apart from one Officers' Guard on duty, the other Officers were basically not there. After parking the car, Heath lay down on the bed and silently took out the things he had obtained earlier.
Heath can't fall asleep at this time, but she can with the help of props. However, Heath needs to set a time to avoid oversleeping. In addition, she needs to set her phone to vibrate mode, otherwise she will be woken up after a while.
Heath slept straight through until 11 p.m. He was woken up by his alarm clock, and when he opened his eyes and picked up his phone, he saw a message from Sister Feng.
"Sister Feng is still so gentle..." Heath yawned and got out of bed. It was obvious that Sister Feng had come to see him, because Sister Feng's initial message was a bit irritable, but later she became gentle. She also told Heath that she had prepared a cup of yogurt for him in the refrigerator. Sister Feng had a key to Heath's food cart and was also someone Heath approved of entering the lounge, so it was not surprising that Sister Feng would come to see Heath.
When Heath turned on the bedroom light, she found herself alone. Curious, she pushed open the bedroom door and saw Farfetch'd playing games with Zoroark, Charmeleon working out, and Snorlax playing with Red. Red would occasionally jump onto Snorlax, prompting the clumsy Snorlax to reach out and grab it, before jumping off again.
Heath couldn't help but smile. The deceased had found peace, but the living had to go on. Heath mustered his energy; he wanted to see what the other side of the world was like.
Chapter 464 The Problem of Sleeping Posture
"Trainer, what sleeping position do you think is better every night?" Just as Hiss was about to wash his face and brush his teeth, he heard Zoroark turn around and ask him this question. Hiss was stunned. He really didn't expect Zoroark to ask him such a question. It was really strange.
"Why did you ask that question?" Heath looked at Zoroark curiously. Had Zoroark decided to start focusing on health? He was even paying attention to sleeping posture now.
Heath had heard of the term "sleeping position" before because she watched an interview with a celebrity who said that in order to make her face look more balanced, she would change sleeping positions every night to make both sides of her face more even. Apparently, if you only sleep on one side, the other side of your face will look bigger.
Zoroark wagged her tail, then took out a novel, flipped through it, and finally found the question she wanted to ask.
Heath had a bad feeling when he read this far, as if Zoroark was going to come up with some strange question. After all, novels are sometimes embellished for artistic effect. Heath had once heard a joke, whether true or not, that a domineering CEO bought several mushroom eggs and set them off like fireworks to celebrate the female lead's birthday...
That's outrageous.
"I read about the female protagonist in this book. Because she slept on her left side every day, over time, she crushed her heart and it exploded. So I'm a little curious whether it's true that you shouldn't sleep on your left side." Zoroark pointed to the contents of the book. Heath couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. This kid really knows how to talk. Heath had lived for so long, but this was the first time she had ever heard of someone's heart exploding from sleeping on their left side. Did this author treat his heart like a bomb?
Heath was very curious about how the human heart explodes, and he wanted to talk to the author to see what the author's dream was like.
"How could that be? If sleeping on your left side were harmful to the heart, Miss Joy and others would have already issued guidelines for sleeping positions." Heath shook his head helplessly. This is probably what is called pseudoscience. After all, the heart is generally on the left side. If you sleep on your left side, it does give people the feeling that you are putting pressure on the heart, but in fact, it has no effect.
Heath hadn't planned to say anything more, but seeing that Charizard had stopped exercising and was listening attentively, Heath decided to delve deeper into the issue and say a few more words.
"Generally speaking, the best sleeping position is lying flat on your back with your head against the pillow and your hands naturally placed at your sides. This sleeping position is very friendly to the cervical and lumbar spine and is the best sleeping position. However, there are some requirements for the height of the pillow. The more expensive the pillow, the better. It is better to choose one that suits you." Heath explained the issue of sleeping positions simply. Apart from sleeping on your stomach, Heath felt that other sleeping positions were quite good. There was no problem with sleeping on your side. However, he said that when sleeping on your side, it is best to put something small between your legs. This is for your own health. Many people find that when they wake up from sleeping on their side, they have a blanket between their legs. In fact, this is also a choice made by the body.
Seeing Zoroark's "I understand" expression, Heath shook his head helplessly, then went to wash up. Next, he prepared to entertain the guests for the evening. However, Heath was more curious about whether the guests would need to drive themselves somewhere, and how to prepare the ingredients.
Heath had little experience, but in order to ensure that his guests could be entertained smoothly, he still drove his food truck to the supermarket. Heath had been to the ghost market in Dark Grey City at night before. There were not many ingredients, and most of them were all kinds of things. The only food-related thing Heath had ever seen before was a rock worm.
Therefore, if you want to buy groceries during this time, the best option is still the supermarket.
There was only one supermarket open in Dark Grey City at this time of day, and the ingredients there were quite cheap. Heath thought it might be because they were past their expiration date, but he didn't care too much. He still picked out some of the better quality ingredients.
Heath swept through the supermarket and bought Snorlax's special food. Snorlax has a big appetite, and Heath needs to feed it frequently. Although he can't just fill Snorlax up with food, Heath doesn't want his Snorlax to go hungry.
After buying the ingredients he needed and returning to the food truck, Heath realized that it was already midnight. At this time, the streets of Dark Grey City were already quite deserted. Apart from some barbecue stalls and bars and KTVs, which were still relatively lively, other places had long lost their liveliness. The streets were very quiet, with only a few pedestrians passing by quickly and some vehicles driving by occasionally.
As the evening breeze blew by, Heath could almost hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground.
"Phew... It's late. I wonder when I'll see those customers again?" Heath rubbed his hands together, feeling a bit lost. Should he drive to his business location? Or just park here? Or perhaps go back to Officer Jenny's dormitory?
Heath wasn't entirely sure, after all, he had never hosted guests from that world before.
Just as Heath was struggling with her decision, she heard the sound of a wind chime. She looked up in confusion and saw a claw reach out from the air and touch the wind chime that she had hung by the door. A grayish-white mist began to emanate from the wind chime, and the next second, Heath's food cart was shrouded in a grayish atmosphere.
Heath paused for a moment. The scene looked familiar, reminding him of his previous experience in the Reverse World. That world was just like this; everything was gray, and people were gray too. Only Heath, a living person, had color on him. Everyone else was a gray blur, like a black and white television.
Then, a man wearing a miner's helmet walked in wearily. He looked around in confusion, then looked at Heath, before sitting down in a chair.
"Boss, do you have anything to eat?" the man asked. Heath calmly glanced at him; the man was wearing miner's clothes and looked to be in his prime. Could it be...?
Heath thought of the accident that happened earlier today.
"Did you just arrive today?" Heath asked the man. The man smiled self-deprecatingly and nodded; he had indeed just arrived today.
Heath seemed thoughtful; it seemed that the release of this mission was indeed related to that accident.
Chapter 465 The Unexpected Guest
"...Would you like something to eat?" Heath looked at the man in front of him. There were no scars on his body, and it was impossible to tell how he died. However, it seemed that all souls were like this after arriving in the Reverse World. The pain in the body had nothing to do with the soul, and nothing in the body would be reflected in the soul. This was a good thing. Otherwise, Heath felt that the spirits in the Reverse World could form a huge exhibition of all kinds of bizarre ways to die. Moreover, looking at his own broken body every day was not a good thing.
If I watched this every day, I'd probably become depressed, since some people die in very gruesome ways, with their bodies shattered.
"Give me a beer, the foamy kind, and some barbecue, please..." The man sighed. It was clear that the other person was in a bad mood, but that was normal. No one can accept death calmly. Humans are always filled with fear of death. But this world is a little better. At least there is an afterlife. You know, some worlds don't even have an afterlife. When a person dies, it means the extinction of consciousness. This world has nothing to do with that person anymore.
Heath nodded and began preparing the food the man needed. However, thinking about some of the characteristics of the Reversal World, Heath had a headache. He didn't know how to ask his guests for payment in this world. Should he just not pay them?
However, Heath didn't think for too long. Instead, he carefully prepared what the man needed. Beer was simple enough. Although the man ordered a foamy beer, it wasn't difficult to make. What Heath cared more about was the man's taste. In this world, he could see the guests' tastes and requirements for food, which was a good thing.
Beer generally comes in many varieties, such as wheat beer and dark beer. However, from the perspective of men's preferences, they can be divided into two categories: one is those who like to drink beer with foam, and the other is those who dislike it. Heath belongs to the latter. When he used to go to a barbecue stall with his friends, he liked to drink beer without foam. That kind of beer was poured at an angle, so that there would be very little foam. If you want beer with foam, you can just pour it normally.
Heath had prepared draft beer, which didn't quite meet the guest's preference for food. This man preferred dark beer, but there was nothing Heath could do. Shopping wasn't easy for him in this world, since Heath didn't know what supermarkets in the reverse world sold. So, he could only let the man drink draft beer.
Actually, draft beer tastes great too, and ice-cold beer generally tastes fantastic.
The beer can be prepared slowly. Heath is making barbecue now. Heath is just doing barbecue casually, since there's not much to it. If he had to say, Heath thinks it's probably about the selection of ingredients, the choice of charcoal, and the use of seasonings. Heath made some lamb skewers for the men, with a mix of lean and fatty lamb skewered together, which saves the trouble of brushing on oil. The tender lamb will secrete oil during the grilling process, and the lamb fat will coat the lamb, making it taste even better.
The pork was prepared in the same way. Heath also prepared some vegetarian dishes such as grilled chives and grilled zucchini. Soon, Heath brought the barbecue to the man. Heath also noticed that he could not see Zoroark and the others in this world. Heath remembered that he had said before that living Pokémon were not good in this world, so they needed to be kept in Poké Balls. This time, he guessed that Zoroark and the others had not been let in.
Heath didn't seem to care too much. Although Zoroark wasn't there, Heath could entertain the guests on his own.
