I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Moreover, Heath felt that he was more used to being a chef than a plagiarist.

"Heath, do you operate here at night?" Someone came over as soon as the store opened. Heath glanced at him and saw it was Kojiro.

“Oh, it’s Kojiro. I’m open every night, but only in Lavender Town.” Heath smiled. After all, Heath used to operate during the day, but it was quite fun to open a barbecue stall at night occasionally.

"Give me some barbecue, I'm starving today... Meow, what do you want to eat?" Kojiro chuckled and rubbed his belly, then looked at Meow beside him and asked.

Meow Meow peeked out for a while, then asked Heath for a few skewers of shrimp, a fish, and a chicken wing.

Heath wasn't surprised. Cats are carnivores, so it's normal for them to eat meat. Heath would have found it strange if they didn't eat meat.

In fact, wild cats and feline overlords also have this habit. Professor Oak even published a book specifically about the contribution of cats and feline overlords to maintaining the number of Rattatas and Rattatas in an ecological area.

When Heath first saw it, he was absolutely amazed. But thinking about it, it makes sense. In his previous life, Pokémon was a game and anime, so naturally, it didn't involve much talk about such cruel and bloody things. But this world is different; it's a real world.

"Okay, just a moment." Heath rubbed his hands together. In the morning, Heath had demonstrated to Kojiro how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but since it was just a demonstration, Heath hadn't actually received a reward for treating Kojiro and Meow Meow.

Based on Heath's understanding of his cheat ability, important characters like Kojiro and Meowth usually offer decent rewards, so Heath was quite looking forward to it.

Heath's expression became a little strange when he thought about what Kojiro would eat, because Kojiro and Heath had ordered grilled leeks, grilled artificial mushrooms, grilled oysters and a plate of fried rice. Heath even wanted to give Kojiro a glass of warm water with goji berries. Could this be considered a so-called health-preserving meal?

Of course, Heath also knew that neither grilled oysters nor grilled leeks actually had that effect. Rather, eating too much seafood would increase the risk of developing gout significantly.

However, in his previous life, thanks to the promotion by those merchants, many people believed that chives and oysters possessed that kind of ability. But in Heath's opinion, if one really wanted to enhance that ability, it would be better to try taking some blue pills. However, the blue pills were originally invented to treat other diseases, but who knew that another effect of this stuff would be noticed instead.

It's like the saying goes, "You try to plant flowers but they don't bloom, while you plant willows without thinking and they thrive."

Although Kojiro's food seemed a bit strange to Heath, his tastes were quite normal. Heath quickly prepared the food for Kojiro, and next, it was time to make what Meowth wanted to eat.

It's normal for a cat to want certain foods, but its tastes are quite unique.

[Preferred flavor: Original flavor, very, very, very slightly cooked]

Disliked flavor: Very spicy food

[Foods that cause allergies: Cocoa beans]

[Food requirements: Grilled fish should be slightly cooked, not fully cooked, with just a little salt and chili. Grilled shrimp and chicken wings should be fully cooked, and then seasoned with cumin and pepper.]

Well, all I can say is that Meowth truly lives up to its reputation as a Pokémon; even its food is so unusual.

Because Meow Meow has very particular tastes, aside from the shrimp and roasted chicken wings which are given to Charmeleon, Heath makes the roasted fish himself, since slightly cooked requires very strict control over the heat.

Soon, Hiss finished preparing what Meowth and James wanted to eat and had Zoroark bring it over. Hiss also noticed that Meowth was sitting on a chair with James, instead of being placed on the ground to eat like other Pokémon.

Heath couldn't help but chuckle. "As expected of Kojiro."

In Hiss's opinion, James is indeed a very gentle person, not like a bad person. And the most important point is James's attitude towards his Pokémon. For example, James treats Meowth like another human friend, and even lets Meowth come to the table to eat by itself.

Not many people can do this; most people, when raising Pokémon, unconsciously treat them as pets.

[You entertained Kojiro, and you received the complete set of books, "How to Be an Elegant Nobleman"]

Heath's lips twitched. Good heavens, this was truly laughable. Heath had absolutely no interest in how to become an elegant nobleman!

But there's no way to change the rewards from the cheat codes, otherwise Heath would definitely have tried to change them.

[You entertained Meowth, and you have received one Pokémon Language Ability Pill]

"?"

Chapter 541 The Girl Who Likes Wasabi

What Heath received for entertaining Kojiro was quite understandable, but what he received for entertaining Meow Meow was somewhat unexpected, since it looked rather... impressive.

[Pokémon Language Ability Pill: After taking this pill, you can understand the language of a random type of Pokémon and communicate with them.]

Heath raised an eyebrow. This thing looked pretty impressive and quite interesting. But it only had one random attribute? That was a real dilemma, since Pokémon had many attributes. Heath had initially thought he could understand all Pokémon languages, but it turned out he could only understand one.

"Please don't let it be a Psychic-type..." Heath was a little nervous. He didn't need to understand Psychic-type Pokémon at all, since most Psychic-type Pokémon could communicate telepathically with people, which was a very convenient ability. So Heath felt that he didn't need to understand Psychic abilities. As for other types, Heath felt that they were all fine. Anyway, since he could get one, he might get other Pokémon language pills in the future, and then Heath could directly understand what these little guys meant.

Heath swallowed the pill, which wasn't very big and looked about the size of a rainbow candy. He swallowed it with lemonade.

[You've taken a Pokémon Communication Pill! You can now communicate with Grass-type Pokémon!]

Hiss's lips twitched. Good heavens, Hiss had Normal, Fire, Ice, and Dark attributes, but he never dreamed that he would randomly get the Grass attribute. This made Hiss both laugh and cry.

Grass-type Pokémon have a relatively low profile in the games, with fewer popular characters and not many starter Pokémon. Sheath is a big fan of Fire-type Pokémon, and almost always chooses Fire-type starters. The only time she chose Grass-type was because of Snivy, whose Contrary ability is perfect for learning powerful moves that reduce her own stats after use.

"Well, it's better to have something than nothing." Hiss shook his head. Although Grass-type wasn't Hiss's favorite type, it was good to have it. Hiss wasn't a picky person. After all, being able to understand the language of Grass-type Pokémon was sometimes very useful.

"Boss Heath~" A voice interrupted Heath's thoughts. Heath looked up and saw that it was an old customer, at least in Lavender Town.

Standing in front of Heath was a girl dressed in a JK uniform with cute twin tails. She was very adorable, and her little tiger teeth that showed when she smiled left a deep impression on Heath, as Heath thought little tiger teeth were really cute.

"Oh, it's Miss Meiling. Do you want the same things as yesterday?" Heath asked with a smile. The reason Heath was so impressed with her was not only because of her little tiger teeth, but also because of Miss Meiling's special taste.

"Hmm~ I want to eat the grilled eggplant you make, Mr. Heath! And also... a plate of fried noodles, and a skewer of chicken wings~" Miss Meiling said with a smile. Heath nodded. Actually, Meiling wasn't very old, but Heath felt that he could only call her "Miss". What else could he call her, "Little Sister"?

Fortunately, there is no ambiguity surrounding the word "Miss" in this world.

"Okay, just a moment." Heath nodded and then took out an eggplant.

Mei-ling has very unusual tastes, but sometimes people's tastes are indeed unique. So, although Heath felt it was strange, she didn't say anything and calmly made what Mei-ling wanted to eat.

Miss Meiling usually has to pay a little extra for the food she eats, otherwise Heath would lose money, and Miss Meiling agrees with this.

Fire Dinosaur is getting more and more skilled at grilling and barbecuing. He quickly brought over a skewer of grilled chicken wings, while Big Green Duck had finished making the fried noodles that Meiling had ordered. Heath was still preparing grilled eggplant.

"Ah, luckily I bought a lot of wasabi, otherwise I wouldn't be able to entertain guests today." Heath took out the wasabi he bought and squeezed the whole strip onto the eggplant. Instantly, the roasted eggplant turned green, and a pungent smell wafted up. Heath, already prepared, took out a mask and put it on.

"Eek~ As soon as Miss Meiling arrived, I felt like I was seeing something terrible." Zoroark shuddered. Green chicken wings and green fried noodles—this was simply a culinary nightmare, an absolutely horrible dish, the kind that makes you despair.

"You'll get used to it." Heath said calmly. The guests' tastes were all kinds of strange, and as a chef who could see the guests' preferences, Heath could be considered to be at the top of the culinary world.

After all, the best food is always the most palatable food, and not every chef can accurately grasp the taste preferences of every customer who comes to eat.

Miss Meiling loves wasabi, she eats a lot of it, the more the better. So the roasted chicken wings, fried noodles and roasted eggplant that Meiling ordered all had a lot of wasabi added to them.

After Heath finished making the roasted eggplant that Mei-ling wanted, Zoroark carried these pungent-smelling dishes to Mei-ling's side and put them down.

"Thank you, Betty~" Meiling is very cute and has great fashion sense. It's a pity that no one would want to kiss Miss Meiling after dinner.

Heath thought that Miss Meiling would probably meet someone who also liked wasabi in the future, and that kind of man would be Meiling's destined one.

"Boss~ Same as always~" As darkness fell, Heath's stall became increasingly lively. Heath saw Da Gang, a man who drank particularly hard.

"Okay, just a moment." Heath nodded. As soon as he saw Big Gang Heath, he knew he had to go to the lounge and carry out the cases of beer that Mr. Big Gang needed.

But then Heath thought of something interesting.

"Mr. Da Gang, do you know about depth charges?" Heath thought of a type of beverage he had drunk in his previous life, and then looked at Mr. Da Gang with great interest and asked.

“Deep-sea bomb? I know, but I’m not interested in that kind of cocktail. I only drink beer.” Mr. Da Gang paused for a moment, then shook his head.

Chapter 542 Is the funeral home short-staffed?

Depth Charge is a very special type of alcohol. Generally speaking, it is easy to get drunk after drinking it. Heath had drunk it once with his friends in his previous life, and it was indeed quite easy to get drunk. If you are not good at drinking, you are likely to get drunk.

However, people's constitutions are different. Some people may get drunk after just one beer, while others may drink a kilogram of liquor without getting drunk. This can be considered a kind of talent. Heath himself is a very average type. Heath doesn't really like the feeling of being drunk. The feeling of a hangover is terrible.

"So, Mr. Da Gang, what kind of snacks would you like to have with your drinks today?" Heath asked Mr. Da Gang. Mr. Da Gang hesitated for a moment, then exchanged a glance with his friend. As for what to eat, Da Gang really hadn't thought of anything. All the barbecue at Heath's place tasted great, making it difficult for Da Gang to choose. After all, there were so many delicious things to choose from that Da Gang was having some kind of dilemma.

Da Gang even thought that if there were a perfect food in the world, one dish could taste all the flavors, and he wouldn't have to be so conflicted.

Unfortunately, such food does not exist in the world, at least not at present.

"Then let's have a plate of that scallion sausage from before, and some snacks to go with the drinks." Just as he was about to speak, Da Gang remembered a special dish that Heath had recommended to him before. Da Gang didn't really like it at first, after all, pig intestines sounded disgusting, so he was very conflicted about whether he could eat it. But after trying it once, Da Gang thought that this special dish was indeed quite delicious.

Da Gang initially thought it was just so-so, but today he really missed this unique flavor, so he still chose to have a plate of scallion sausage. Heath nodded with a smile and then began to prepare the food that Da Gang needed.

Da Gang didn't need much barbecue, but he wanted a lot of beer. Fortunately, Heath was very strong, so he could carry out many cases of beer at once. Otherwise, Heath would have had to consider whether to ask Snorlax to carry them, since Snorlax's stamina was limited. However, if Snorlax came out, it would be easy to knock over the nearby tables and chairs. So Heath decided to do it himself.

"Hey Heath, a plate of roasted chicken feet and a bottle of ice-cold beer, please." A cheerful voice called out. Heath had just put down the beer that Mr. Da Gang wanted when he heard this voice and looked up.

"Ah, it's Mr. Xiao Tian. Okay, please wait a moment." Heath recognized the guest in front of him at a glance. The man's name was Xiao Tian, ​​which was quite easy to remember. However, compared to his reputation, Mr. Xiao Tian was actually a very burly man. After all, Mr. Xiao Tian looked like the type with very well-defined muscles. In addition, with his strong chest muscles and the clothes he was wearing, Heath wondered if Mr. Xiao Tian was a mountaineer.

Mr. Xiaotian was a customer that Heath met in Lavender Town. Upon seeing this customer, Heath kindly recommended barbecue, specifically grilled chicken feet, since the customer's taste seemed perfectly suited to grilled chicken feet. And just as Heath had expected, Mr. Xiaotian was indeed very interested in grilled chicken feet. After trying them once, he came every day.

"Mr. Xiaotian, did you just get off work too?" Heath looked at Mr. Xiaotian, who was wearing a plaid shirt and looked like a typical STEM guy. Although not every STEM guy wears big glasses and a plaid shirt, it has to be admitted that this is the stereotype many people have.

"Haha, there's nothing I can do about it, that's just how the company is." Xiao Tian shrugged. Heath remembered that Xiao Tian worked in a very special place, a funeral home.

Funeral homes are where most people go after they die, and in this world, funeral homes also provide funeral services for Pokémon. So, funeral homes have a lot of work to do, and that's why Mr. Xiaotian's off-duty time is not fixed every day.

While a boss might give a rough estimate of when they'll leave work, death doesn't discriminate based on working hours. Whether it's morning or night, death always arrives on schedule, taking away vibrant lives and leaving behind only the sorrowful tears of loved ones in this world.

Furthermore, Lavender Town is the largest Pokémon burial site in the Kanto region, which makes the funeral home there extremely busy. People often bring their Pokémon with sorrowful expressions. Of course, the funeral home in Lavender Town also handles human funeral services, but relatively speaking, there is a greater demand for Pokémon funeral services.

"Mr. Xiaotian, speaking of which, I've heard before that the wages at funeral homes are quite high?" Heath asked Mr. Xiaotian curiously. This wasn't the first time Heath had heard such a thing. When he was online before, Heath had seen many similar stories about funeral homes recruiting people and how much they could earn per day, and how they could earn more than white-collar workers after just a few days. But Heath wasn't sure whether these stories were true or not.

"Actually, it's not that high. I've seen those jokes online, like you can get over a thousand Alliance Coins by carrying corpses all night. That's complete nonsense." Mr. Xiaotian wasn't annoyed, but patiently explained.

In reality, while the wages at funeral homes are relatively generous, they are not so generous as to be truly enviable. At least, they are completely different from what is portrayed online. The idea that you can go to a funeral home to carry one or two corpses and then lie down for a week is basically a pipe dream.

In other words, if the salary were really that generous, would there be any worry about not being able to recruit people? In this world, although dealing with the dead is a taboo subject, poverty is still more terrifying than being poor.

But there's no way around it; there will always be people who believe that these outrageous wage levels really exist in this world. It's like how the holy land of kidneys, which has been promoted countless times in the past, is a gathering place for scammers. How could a backward little country have such high salaries? But there are always people who believe it without a doubt, and then they go there to be slaughtered like livestock.

"However, it is indeed a bit difficult for people in our line of work to find a partner." Mr. Xiao Tian sighed. He was already twenty-eight years old, and everyone else was married except him.

Chapter 543 Special Beauty Workers

Although many people know that working at a funeral home is a job, and in essence it is no different from going to work, and the alliance has been advocating that people should not discriminate against people who work at funeral homes, people still feel uncomfortable when they hear that their partner works at a funeral home, and then they become resistant and do not want to continue the blind date. This is probably one of the troubles in the lives of funeral home staff.

“Someone as outstanding as Mr. Xiaotian will definitely meet someone like him.” Heath comforted Mr. Xiaotian, although he didn’t really know what he could do. After all, there wasn’t much he could do about Mr. Xiaotian’s affairs. Heath couldn’t control what other people thought, but in his opinion, someone like Mr. Xiaotian, who was good-looking and had a high salary, was a high-quality blind date, especially since Mr. Xiaotian was a beautician.

If you were to ask Mr. Xiaotian about his lipstick shade, he could answer very quickly. For Mr. Xiaotian, this is not a difficult question; the difficulty is about the same as an Ultraman fan trying to figure out who is Tiga.

However, unlike other beauty workers, Mr. Xiao Tian was responsible for giving beauty treatments to the deceased.

Not everyone can die peacefully in bed. Some people may be in car accidents, and some may choose to end their own lives. For various reasons, their faces may have various problems. These are the people who need the help of special makeup artists like Mr. Xiaotian to help these victims prepare their faces so that they can meet their loved ones again in a complete state. This is also the work that Mr. Xiaotian and his team do.

So it's not just about applying makeup to the dead. Sometimes you also need to know how to fix the remains or how to suture wounds so they don't look so scary. These strange skills are also what Xiaotian has mastered.

"I hope so. My mom has been urging me to get married for a long time." Mr. Xiao Tian shrugged. It seems that whether in his previous life or in this world, being pressured to get married is unavoidable. This made Heath want to laugh. Heath originally thought that in this world, he might not face the fate of being pressured to get married, but he did not expect that even in this world, people cannot escape being pressured to get married.

Fortunately, there are no aunts or anything like that in this world to urge Heath to get married. However, Heath is still young and not in a hurry. Even if she does need to get married in the future, Heath has her own ideas. She just doesn't know if the person she likes will be willing to marry her.

After serving Mr. Xiaotian his chicken feet, Heath began preparing food for the other guests. However, it must be said that the food given to Mr. Xiaotian was very special, so special that Heath was somewhat amused and exasperated.
