Soon, the food truck sped toward the destination Heath had designated, while Heath quickly processed the ingredients on the truck with the leek duck. Soraya quietly washed the ingredients beside her, wanting to do her part as well.
After the food cart stopped, Heath pushed open the door and jumped down. He then saw Uncle Loser looking worriedly at the flames not far away.
"Uncle Luo Shu!" Heath shouted. Only then did Uncle Luo Shu turn around and look at Heath. He was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Heath to appear here.
"Little Heath, what are you doing here?" Uncle Luo Shu glanced at Heath, then looked at the flames ahead.
"Uncle, I'm here to buy ingredients! Hurry up and give me these ingredients." Heath took out the ingredient list he had prepared on the food cart and handed it to Uncle Luo Shu, who took it and glanced at it.
Then Uncle Luo Shu frowned, looking at Heath hesitantly, as if trying to confirm something.
"You want to..." Seeing Uncle Luo Shu hesitate, Heath quickly voiced his thoughts, and as a result, Heath received a whole food cart full of ingredients.
Uncle Luo Shu patted Heath on the shoulder happily and told Heath that he was too old to cook, so the task of feeding the rescue workers would be left to Heath.
Heath agreed without hesitation. He then planned his route to the vicinity of the chemical plant. The fish and meat given to him by Uncle Luo Shu saved Heath a lot of trouble. When Heath arrived near the chemical plant, he was stopped.
"Little Heath, what are you doing here?" Officer Jenny looked at Heath with hostility. Her face was blackened, and her clothes were burned with holes.
Heath looked behind Officer Jenny, where a large group of Water-type Pokémon were busy using various Water-type moves to extinguish the flames, while Flying-type Pokémon occasionally flashed by in the sky. Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, and the firefighters from Viridian City were all busy here.
"I want to give the rescue workers a hot meal." Heath looked at Officer Jenny with a determined gaze; that was his purpose in coming here.
Officer Jenny paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, but she still shook her head.
"Team Maple said that no non-league personnel are allowed to enter this area, do you understand?" Officer Jenny pointed to the cordon that was blocking the way for many people outside and said seriously.
Heath gave a knowing smile, meaning that as long as he didn't cross the line, he could do whatever he wanted without anyone stopping him. Heath nodded with a smile, and Officer Jenny nodded as well, then continued to stand inside the cordon.
Heath parked the food truck outside the cordon and busied himself preparing the ingredients. There wasn't much he could do, but he wanted to do his part to help the rescue workers.
After preparing all the ingredients and setting them aside, Heath finally glanced out of the car.
More and more people gathered around the cordon. They were mostly from Evergreen City, including office workers, trainers, and shop assistants from friendly stores. They all looked worriedly at the flames, which showed no signs of abating.
Among them were many trainers who wanted to help, but Officer Jenny refused them entry. Only League personnel were allowed inside!
Some trainers were allowed in after showing their Gym Leader certificates. Although they mainly used Ground-type Pokémon, they were still able to contribute to the disaster relief efforts under Giovanni's leadership.
"Mr. Giovanni is such a good man. I heard that shortly after the explosion, he rushed over from his home to rescue people. Even his Nidoking was burned." Hearing the surrounding crowd's discussion, Heath couldn't help but touch his nose.
Sakaki is a really strange person.
Chapter 41 Complex and Awkward Humans
Heath remembered that when she first learned she had come to the Pokémon world, she was completely terrified, as the Pokémon world could be quite dangerous at times.
Especially when Heath discovered that he was in Evergreen City, where Giovanni lived, he even considered running away. However, as he got to know Giovanni better, he realized that the Giovanni in this world was more complex and real.
Giovanni is not a villain who hides in his base every day, plotting all sorts of conspiracies and schemes to conquer the world. He is a real person with flesh and blood. He attends some charity events and teaches trainers who come to the gym with a smile.
Looking through the car window at Mr. Giovanni still trying to save people, Heath couldn't help but scratch his head. Although he knew that Giovanni was the leader of Team Rocket, at this moment Giovanni really was a good person.
“I once heard my mother say that you humans are despicable, cunning, and shameless. You can trample others underfoot to survive and then escape yourself.” Sororia leaned on Heath’s shoulder, the firelight reflecting in her eyes, making her look very beautiful.
"And then?" Heath remained noncommittal. Such things did indeed happen; those movies from his past life that liked to test human nature were exactly like that.
"Hmph, you humans are so complicated, so complicated and so awkward." Zoroya snorted, then turned his head away and didn't look at Heath again.
Heath smiled, looking at Sakaki, and felt that what Zoroya said didn't seem wrong. Humans are indeed complex creatures, not perfect, but there are no perfect people in this world either.
If someone is truly perfect, then he is not human, but a god.
Thanks to the efforts of Pokémon and humans, the fire was gradually brought under control. However, even so, the fire burned until 2 a.m., lasting for a full seven hours, and many of the onlookers left.
"Sister Ling, this is a boxed lunch I made." Heath put the boxed lunch she had prepared earlier into a large basket and carried it out.
"You little rascal... Thank you, everyone is very hungry, I will distribute them." Officer Jenny smiled and ruffled Heath's hair. Heath subconsciously shrank back to avoid it. Although he didn't really care, it was still a little embarrassing to have his head ruffled in front of so many people.
"Hey, little Heath, are you here to make us a celebratory dinner?" Mr. Sakaki laughed heartily. He was almost unrecognizable now, looking more like an African chieftain.
A phrase inexplicably popped into Hiss's mind: "The drop rate today is incredibly high." Hiss rubbed his face, thankful he hadn't said it aloud.
"Mr. Sakaki, thank you for your hard work." Heath said sincerely. Without Sakaki and his team's help, it might have taken much longer to extinguish the fire.
After checking for potential hazards, everyone relaxed. Heath warmly welcomed everyone who came to help put out the fire, and the boxed lunches he made were well received. The happy smiles and satisfied expressions made Heath feel completely content.
"Oh, not bad, there's such a big piece of meat." Officer Jenny hugged Heath's neck with a grin, then deliberately nudged him, making Heath blush. This old rogue is at it again.
"Aya, stop messing with Heath." Officer Safeng walked over with a smile, carrying her lunchbox. She had already eaten more than half of her lunchbox; the fatigue from putting out the fire had given her a good appetite.
Hearing Feng Jie's words, Officer Shaling stuck out her tongue and let go of his hand, which made Heath breathe a sigh of relief.
"Not bad, as expected of a child from Changqing City." Jun Shafeng smiled and pinched Heath's cheek, instantly turning Heath's face black.
"That's right, don't you know whose brother I am?" Heath puffed out his chest proudly. Although he didn't participate in the firefighting, he made his contribution in other ways.
Amidst laughter and chatter, the night passed quickly, and although Heath was very tired the next day, he still woke up at the usual time.
"Yawn... I really want to sleep in a bit more tonight." Heath looked at Zoroya sleeping next to him, yawned widely, and then grabbed Zoroya by the neck and climbed out of bed.
Yesterday's fire was extinguished, and there were no further risks. To prevent the fire from reigniting, several Water-type Pokémon teamed up to use Rain. While the light drizzle couldn't extinguish the flames, it was enough to prevent them from reigniting.
"You're so annoying, I haven't had enough sleep yet." Zoroya said to Heath with a face full of resentment. Heath looked at Zoroya curiously and saw that he didn't have dark circles under his eyes.
But Pokémon probably don't have dark circles under their eyes, right...?
But when he thought of Ash's Pikachu, Heath felt it was better not to draw that conclusion too soon.
Yesterday's biggest gain was that Heath collected a lot of candies, all of which can increase effort values. However, Heath also discovered that there are limitations to the use of these candies; the more you use, the more you need.
"Zoroa, do you want to learn Dark Demolition?" Heath asked, brushing his teeth as he looked at Zoroa.
The CDs that were given to Zoroah before are still with Heath; only Zoroah can use that learning machine.
"Huh? Dark Blast? I remember that's a move that only talented Zoroark can learn." Zoroark stood on the bathroom sink, diligently brushing his teeth, while Farfetch'd stood seriously to Heath's left.
"Yes, but you can learn it first." Heath nodded; the power of Dark Blast was quite good.
Soraya was indeed tempted. She hesitated and kept raising and lowering her foot in front of Heath. Heath felt that the movement looked familiar.
"Hmph, human, don't think that just because you taught me Dark Blast, I'll be eternally grateful to you. That's impossible!" Zoroya turned his head away, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Heath tapped her on the head, half-laughing and half-crying, and then used the TM. The next second, Zoroia, who was about to explode, suddenly froze.
She was stunned as she sensed the new things that had appeared in her mind. She had actually mastered Dark Blast, a new move that only Zoroark could learn?
Zoroia turned her head curiously to look at her trainer. She suddenly felt that her trainer seemed quite mysterious. Could it be that this trainer was also like the one in that novel, transformed from a powerful legendary beast?
So, will he eventually come and fencing with her...? Wait, no, she's female, and this trainer is male...?
Soroya shook her head abruptly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chapter 42 The Launch of New Breakfast and Driving Schools
Heath had no idea that he had almost been mistaken for a mythical beast. If he knew what Zoroah was thinking, Heath would definitely tell Zoroah with a serious face that he really wasn't a Fury fanatic.
"Sigh, I suddenly don't feel like going out." Heath sighed as she looked at her food cart after getting dressed.
Although the car has an autonomous driving function, Sister Feng still requires Heath to master the skill of driving herself. So with Sister Feng's help, Heath now has to go to driving school every afternoon to learn relevant knowledge.
Yes, driving schools. It's quite normal for driving schools to exist in the Pokémon world, right? After all, there are quite a few cars and taxis in Viridian City.
Heath had no problem with going to driving school, but the problem was that the thought of Officer Jenny, that old driver, made his scalp tingle. This old rogue was getting more and more of a rogue, to the point that even Heath couldn't stand it.
So the thought of having to learn how to drive under Officer Jenny's guidance made Heath feel like he was dying, but no matter how much he was dying, he still had to keep going.
Heath's food cart is now officially retired. Heath only took the ingredients up there; there was no need to take anything else, as everything was already on the cart.
After setting the destination for the autonomous driving system, Heath began preparing today's food in advance.
Originally, Heath could only offer a limited selection of breakfast options, such as jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), but now, with this chef's dream car, Heath can try making some other breakfast items.
The simplest of these are steamed buns and fried dough sticks, which are a shared memory for generations of Chinese people.
Especially when I was in school, I was busy with classes and often didn't have time to eat other breakfasts, so steamed buns, which were easy to carry and filling, became the best choice.
The best match for steamed buns is soy milk. Milk can also be used, but it's not quite the same.
After buying the ingredients he needed at the market, Heath drove to his usual stall location and busied himself preparing breakfast in the car.
When kneading and rolling the dough, it's best to use a chewy dough that doesn't easily break. Heath's buns are the type with thin skin and lots of filling; when you bite into one, half your mouth is full of filling, which is exactly the effect Heath wanted to achieve.
For the filling of the steamed buns, Heath chose a filling that was both delicious and had a wide appeal: mushroom and minced meat filling.
For a good shiitake mushroom and pork bun, the selection of shiitake mushrooms and pork is very important, as is the cooking method. Adding seasonings and stir-frying them in advance are all necessary preparations.
The shiitake mushrooms in shiitake mushroom buns shouldn't be minced; they should ideally be diced. This way, the rich aroma of the shiitake mushrooms is incredibly intense. With each bite, the fragrance of the shiitake mushrooms fills your taste buds, while the meat mixed with seasonings further enhances the deliciousness of the shiitake mushrooms.
Heath quickly placed the mushroom buns on the steamer, then picked up the whiteboard outside the car and wrote down today's special breakfast items: mushroom buns, soy milk, and jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes). He then patiently waited for the guests to arrive.
"Scallion~" Farfetch'd was standing next to Heath, chopping carrots with a cleaver. This was a task Heath had given Farfetch'd to hone his knife skills.
"Keep it up, Farfetch'd. Tell me what dish you want to make next time, and I'll teach you." Heath smiled and ruffled Farfetch'd's hair. Farfetch'd's culinary quest hadn't been triggered yet, and Heath thought it might be because he didn't have any favorite dishes.
"This car is much warmer." Soroya lazily curled up on the table, stretching contentedly. The weather outside was rather cold, but it was very warm inside the car.
“Of course.” Heath smiled. The mobile food truck also had a temperature control device, which Heath had set to a temperature that was convenient for storing and placing the ingredients.
Soon, Heath's food truck welcomed its first customer, Mr. Fujiyama.
"Heath, did you get a new kitchen?" Mr. Fujiyama looked at Heath's food cart with surprise, somewhat incredulous.
“Mr. Fujiyama! Yes, I won a prize yesterday. I won a mobile kitchen from the Siluf Corporation. Would you like something to eat?” Heath asked Mr. Fujiyama with a smile.
However, looking at what Mr. Fujiyama was carrying, Heath couldn't help but exclaim that Mr. Fujiyama was really not human. It was the first time Heath had ever seen someone running while lifting barbells.
Even some bald guys don't have such outrageous workout routines.
"Hey, how's the portion size of your steamed buns and soy milk?" Mr. Fujiyama put the barbell on the ground, causing it to shake. The monstrous-strength creature beside him was curiously looking at Heath's food cart.
"Hmm... if we consider Mr. Fujiyama's appetite, I suggest you buy fifteen steamed buns and five cups of soy milk at once." Heath estimated that the steamed buns he made were quite large, and fifteen should be enough for Mr. Fujiyama to eat his fill.
Mr. Fujiyama immediately took out his money and handed it to Heath. This time, Heath gave Mr. Fujiyama change, since the food they bought was different.
Before long, Heath handed a large bag of steaming hot buns to Mr. Fujiyama, while the soy milk could only be served in bowls for the time being.
Mr. Fujiyama took out a large steamed bun and looked at it. It was almost as big as his palm. The skin was very thin, and it felt wobbly in his hand. The scalding heat dispelled the chill.
Mr. Fujiyama couldn't wait to take a bite. After one bite, he couldn't help but shrink back. This mushroom bun even had meat juice in it!
The savory flavors of mushrooms and meat mingled together, and the piping hot meat juices, mixed with the aroma, flowed into my mouth. The outer dough made the mushroom bun less greasy. Mr. Fujiyama licked his lips, took another sip of soy milk, and nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing Mr. Fujiyama eating and drinking heartily, Heath smiled, then took two steamed buns from the steamer and handed them to his Pokémon. It was time for Farfetch'd to have a change of pace; even the best Jianbing Guozi would get boring if it was always the same.
