I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

"Forget it." Hiss shook his head. There was no point in thinking about these things now. Instead of worrying about what would happen in two weeks, Hiss would rather entertain more guests during this time. Who knows, he might get some resurrection item someday, which would bring Ralts back to life and free it from this fate. However, Hiss knew that the possibility was not very high. But apart from believing in his own luck, Hiss didn't have any better options.

"Wait, I still have a Jirachi wish card." Hiss suddenly perked up. He remembered that he still had a Jirachi wish card. This card had a unique effect: it could grant any wish, but only if the probability was very high. Otherwise, the card was useless. Hiss had made a wish last time, but it didn't come true. In a few days, it would be next month, and Hiss planned to try again then to see if he could make a wish. If he succeeded, then Ralts would definitely be alright.

With hope and a direction to move forward, Hiss's heart gradually calmed down. What was most terrifying was seeing no hope or possibility at all. In that case, Hiss would probably have no choice but to quietly send Ralts away. But now that there was hope, at least Hiss still had a chance to try. If he really got this chance, then maybe Ralts could continue to live. Hiss patted Ralts's head, then stood up. It was about time to prepare lunch for his Pokémon.

……

When Hiss got off the highway and saw the outline of Vermilion City, it was already noon the next day. Hiss glanced at his phone; it was exactly 1 p.m. Hess had missed lunch, but he wasn't in a big hurry. Hess hadn't used the Anywhere Door in Lavender Town because the cooldown hadn't expired yet, but he could use it when he went to the next city, so he wouldn't waste so much time on the road.

"But I guess I won't need to find a place to stay this time in Kureha City, right?" Heath couldn't help but smile. Thinking of Sister Feng, a gentle smile appeared on Heath's lips. He hadn't seen Sister Feng for a long time, and this trip to Kureha City would be a chance to meet her. Heath was quite looking forward to it. Moreover, he had heard that Sister Ling and Officer Sakura, that old driver, had also come to Kureha City with Sister Feng, so Heath did have some acquaintances in this place.

Moreover, Heath had already purchased enough ingredients in Lavender Town. However, the thought of having to prepare special foods for Vermilion City after arriving there gave Heath a headache. Preparing these things was never easy. He wished that Vermilion City's special ingredients were the same as Pallet Town's. However, Heath hadn't been able to find out what Vermilion City's special ingredients were on his phone before. It seemed he would have to go to the market to find out.

When Heath drove the food truck into Vermilion City, he felt like he had returned to his previous life. Everywhere there were tall buildings, and the streets were filled with a constant flow of traffic. The commercial streets were highly prosperous. If it weren't for the Pokémon walking on the streets, Heath wouldn't have been able to tell that he was in the Pokémon world. He would have thought he had gone to some first-tier city.

"This Vermilion City is really..." Heath clicked his tongue, and then, following the map's navigation, he arrived at the Officer Jenny's office building. However, upon seeing this luxurious office building, Heath couldn't help but sigh. As expected of Vermilion City, even Officer Jenny's office building had become so high-end and classy. Compared to Officer Jenny's office building in Evergreen City, the Evergreen City office building was simply old and dilapidated.

Heath parked the food truck in the parking space, then took his Pokémon out and arrived at Officer Jenny's Building. However, Heath didn't plan to call Maple, since calling would diminish the surprise. So, Heath decided to sneak up on Maple and surprise her instead.

However, as soon as Heath entered the lobby of Officer Jenny's Building, he bumped into Sister Feng. Sister Feng was stunned for a moment when she saw Heath, and then happily shook Heath's shoulder. Heath also smiled. It seems that this reunion scene was quite touching.

"Heath? You've come just in time. Come on, come with me quickly." But then Heath was pushed out by Officer Jenny, leaving Heath completely bewildered.

Chapter 651 Unexpected Turn of Events?

"Huh?" Heath was stunned. Wasn't this supposed to be a touching reunion, with the siblings hugging, gazing at each other, and then sharing their stories from the past few days? But what was going on here? Why did Sister Feng grab his hand and start walking away right away? Heath was completely confused. By the time he realized what was happening, Officer Jenny had already dragged him outside the Officer Jenny building and made him stand in front of her food cart, while Officer Jenny urged him to open the door quickly.

"Sister Feng, what's wrong?" Heath took out her key, opened the door of the food cart, and went inside. She looked at Jun Sha Feng with curiosity and asked her. Now that she thought about it, Jun Sha Feng probably needed her help with something. But Heath was just a chef, so the thing that Jun Sha Feng needed her help with was probably related to her profession. However, Heath didn't know what had happened.

Jun Shafeng's face was very somber, giving off a sense of low pressure. The last time Heath saw Jun Shafeng with this expression was during the chemical plant explosion in Changqing City. However, Heath didn't know what had happened this time, but looking at Jun Shafeng's serious expression, Heath felt that something big must have happened. Moreover, in the short time that they hadn't seen each other, Heath noticed that Sister Feng seemed to have aged a bit, and her skin wasn't as fair and tender as it had been in Changqing City.

It seems that life in Kuye City is indeed terrible, at least for Feng Jie. This makes Heath want to ask Feng Jie if it's worth it. After all, life in Evergreen City is leisurely and somewhat lazy. You can easily slack off, train easily every day, and there aren't many things to do. The pace of life in the whole city is very slow. Back then, Feng Jie lazily stayed at home watching TV dramas every day, and her skin was very good.

But after arriving in Vermilion City, Maple changed. Her face had many more wrinkles, and she looked much older. Heath couldn't help but sigh. However, it was Maple who applied to come to Vermilion City, so Heath wouldn't say anything. He knew Maple's personality very well. Once she made up her mind, not even ten Tauros could change it.

"It's nothing really, just a problem at a mine near Kurenai City. We need you to make some food and take it down," Officer Jenny said succinctly. Heath couldn't help but rub his nose. Goodness, Heath thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this. However, seeing Officer Jenny's anxious look, Heath didn't say anything. Instead, he followed Officer Jenny's instructions, set the autopilot on the food truck, and then drove the food truck towards that location.

Feng Jie remained silent the entire way, leaving Heath unsure of what to say. It must be said that Feng Jie's oppressive aura was incredibly strong, even bordering on exaggerated. Heath dared not speak, fearing that a single word might offend Feng Jie and result in a scolding, which would be disastrous.

Although Sister Feng is kind most of the time, those who know her well know that if you accidentally anger her, she will instantly transform into a madwoman and give the person who angered her a painful lesson.

When Hiss's food truck arrived at the designated location, Hiss was taken aback. There was none of the tense atmosphere, construction facilities, or Rock and Ground Pokémon that Hiss had expected. He knew that if such a thing happened, Rock and Ground Pokémon would definitely be the main force in the rescue. They might not even need the League to intervene. The trapped people could use Ground Pokémon to dig a hole and escape on their own, which would be very convenient and simple.

Therefore, most people who work underground will raise one or two Pokémon that can dig holes. On the one hand, this is to prevent wild Pokémon from attacking them, and on the other hand, it is for safety reasons. With a Pokémon that can dig holes, the possibility of accidents is greatly reduced. This is the same reason why workers who work at heights like to carry flying Pokémon with them.

After all, although Pokémon exist in this world, humans are still humans. They can't fly or go underground. The best way to do these dangerous jobs is to bring Pokémon with them to make up for these shortcomings. This way, they can easily supplement their deficiencies with these Pokémon. The League has recorded many cases, such as high-altitude operations where safety ropes have come loose and people have used flying Pokémon to carry them down. These news stories are so common that they're no longer even worth mentioning on TV.

Humans and Pokémon have reached a wonderful state of symbiosis and mutual assistance.

"Let's go." Without saying a word, Officer Jenny pushed Heath off the bus. Heath could only follow Officer Jenny down the bus in a daze. He thought that the dining car might not be able to get up there, so he would have to walk up. It wasn't impossible that he was going to do that. But as soon as Heath got off the bus, a lot of people suddenly jumped out of the woods next to him.

"Heath! Welcome to Vermilion City~" Heath was stunned for a moment. He looked at the person in front of him in surprise. It was Officer Jenny, and then a group of Officer Jennys that Heath didn't recognize. Among them, Heath also saw Officer Jenny's figure. She was smiling gently at him and holding a simple cardboard sign that read, "Welcome to Vermilion City, Heath." Heath's mind went blank for a moment, but then he looked at Officer Jenny in front of him and the smiling Maple behind her with a wry smile. He now understood what was going on. It turned out to be a welcome ceremony.

“Sister Feng…you…” Heath touched his nose, then looked at Officer Feng behind him, feeling both helpless and touched. Just now, Sister Feng had been keeping a straight face, which made Heath’s mood a little depressed. He didn’t expect it to be a welcoming ceremony. This was really unexpected for Heath. However, what Heath couldn’t understand even more was how Sister Feng knew that he had come to Kuye City?

"I'm so sorry, Heath. I only made this preparation in a hurry because I heard Aya say she saw your food truck." Jun Shafeng laughed. Looking at Jun Shafeng's slightly weathered smile, Heath couldn't help but sigh. It had been so long since she last saw her, and Sister Feng had really changed a lot.

"Hehe, little Heath, didn't expect that, did you? I just saw your food truck when I was doing wilderness survival training with my colleagues~" Officer Sally, the seasoned driver, came over with a grin. Heath's lips twitched; this girl really had a good eye.

Chapter 652 Welcome Ceremony

"So, Sister Feng, why are we having this wilderness survival training?" Heath sat on the grass with a barbecue grill in front of him. He had just grilled meat for these enthusiastic Officer Jennys. It was quite a task, to say the least. Fortunately, Heath's food truck had all sorts of ingredients, otherwise, Heath didn't know if he could have handled these Officer Jennys. But there was good news too. Through this outdoor barbecue, Heath got to know some of the Officer Jennys in Vermilion City.

What Heath couldn't understand was why Maple would send Officer Jenny out for wilderness survival training. After all, Vermilion City was a major international metropolis in the Kanto region, with a vast area, so Officer Jennys usually didn't need to work in the wild. It wasn't like Viridian City, where things were very quiet. So most of the time, the calls for help Officer Jennys received were about encountering Pokémon attacks in the wild, or their kids getting too cocky and deciding to go out alone to find Pokémon, and so on.

At times like these, Officer Jenny needs to go into the forests to provide support. Therefore, wilderness survival training is essential in Evergreen City. But this is Fallen Leaf City! It's like being in Shanghai but learning wilderness survival skills. Theoretically, as long as you don't leave Shanghai, you basically won't need these strange and unusual skills.

Furthermore, Heath vaguely remembered that there was a special Officer J.A.R. in Vermilion City, which was responsible for handling various incidents in the wild. After all, Vermilion City was too big and too prosperous, which led to Vermilion City being divided into two types of Officer J.A.R.: one type of Officer J.A.R. was responsible for maintaining public order in Vermilion City, and the other type of Officer J.A.R. was responsible for handling various police incidents in the surrounding areas of Vermilion City, with a clear division of labor.

"Because while I was busy handing over my work and dealing with other matters, this girl, Aya, unknowingly gathered a group of people with similar interests to her." Feng's face darkened at the mention of this, and Heath's lips twitched. He knew very well what kind of person Officer Aya was; "Old Driver Princess," "Dirty Queen" was the best way to describe her. But now, the Dirty Queen had discovered her comrades? What was she planning? The Undead Scourge, perhaps?

Heath rubbed his face, then picked up a skewer of grilled chicken feet and started gnawing on it. As he ate, he looked around. The Officer Jennys around him were eating barbecue and chatting, but none of them were drinking. Officer Jenny was pointing and whispering in Heath's direction as she chatted, which made Heath feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she were being watched by something strange. Heath felt this feeling was terrible, and he was very curious about what Officer Jenny was talking about.

"Thank you, Sister Feng." Heath glanced at Jun Shafeng and then said seriously. Jun Shafeng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Heath strangely with a blank expression on her face. However, from the slight upturn of her lips, Heath knew that Jun Shafeng was in a very good mood at the moment.

Heath smiled and didn't say much. Although this seemed like a welcoming ceremony, Heath knew it was an opportunity for Maple to introduce him to people. Although Maple was now the captain of Officer Jenny's team in Vermilion City, Vermilion City was a large city with many Officer Jennys. Knowing some Officer Jennys would be beneficial for Heath's business in Vermilion City. After all, while the Pokémon League was a law-based league, it was also a league of personal connections, and having acquaintances was always a good thing.

Furthermore, Heath discovered that most of the Officers here were in charge of city management, essentially serving as his direct superiors as a street vendor. Therefore, knowing these people was indeed a great help to Heath in Vermilion City. Although Officers could ask them for a good location, now that Heath knew them and had even grilled meat for them, this familiar relationship meant that the location Heath got would definitely not be too bad, and it was even possible that Heath would receive some preferential treatment.

However, given the relationship between Heath and Officer Jenny, all Heath needed to say was thank you. Any more words would not please Officer Jenny. So Heath was very perceptive and did not say anything more. Instead, she enthusiastically provided Officer Jenny with barbecue and other food. However, the most popular food was Farfetch'd. The little Farfetch'd was unanimously loved by Officer Jenny, probably because it was the first time they had seen Farfetch'd, which had been eaten into a rare Pokémon, come to be a chef.

"Farfly Duck seems to be getting more and more skilled at cooking." Officer Jenny glanced at Farfly Duck beside her. It had its own barbecue grill, and what's most infuriating is that its business is even better than Heath's. Many Officer Jennys would go to Farfly Duck to order a barbecue or something. Heath didn't care about this, after all, Farfly Duck had already passed Heath's test and had the initial ability to stand on its own. Heath felt that he could even consider letting Farfly Duck go out and be his own chef.

However, Farfetch'd still doesn't know enough dishes. If Farfetch'd were to become a chef, he would have to compile all the dishes he knows into a recipe book and list them out separately. Only in this way could Heath be at ease. Otherwise, if a customer orders a dish that Farfetch'd hasn't learned to cook, Farfetch'd still won't be able to make it.

"Well, it can stand on its own now, but only to a certain extent." Heath shrugged. Heath didn't have any objections to Farfetch'd's business being better than his own, since Charizard was also there. It was quite good for Heath to let his two Pokémon be in charge of making barbecue. After Heath's training, Charizard was becoming more and more adept at how to make barbecue, and Farfetch'd's cooking skills had also improved quite a bit.

"How have you been lately? You must have suffered quite a bit in Ziyuan Town, right?" Officer Jenny looked at Heath with a smile, then took a bite of the meat skewer in her hand.

"It's alright... Does Sister Feng know Miss Officer Jenny from Lavender Town?" Heath looked at Officer Jenny curiously. It seemed that Sister Feng did know Miss Officer Jenny from Lavender Town. However, this did not seem to be surprising. The relationship between the Officer Jenny family seemed to be quite good.

"Silver, that's just her personality. She's actually a good person, even though she has a bad temper." Officer Jenny smiled, her eyes filled with reminiscence. Heath touched her nose. Goodness, he was more than just bad-tempered; she practically wanted to kill Heath. Luckily, Heath healed her leg.

Chapter 653 An Old Acquaintance Encountered in Konoha City

Just as Heath had expected, after Heath finished grilling the barbecue and returned to Kurenai City with Sister Feng, Heath saw the Officer Jennys who had been having dinner with her earlier at the Civil Affairs Hall in the afternoon. With their enthusiastic help, Heath got a very good location in a prime area of ​​Kurenai City, and the processing speed was also very fast, which made some small vendors who wanted to apply for the same location look envious.

Heath didn't have any objections to this. After all, unless you live in seclusion in the mountains, you always have to deal with people. And when you deal with people, relationships and other such things become very important. Otherwise, no one would say that this is a society where interpersonal relationships are very important. Even in the world of Pokémon, it is the same. Of course, if you are a trainer and are very strong, you don't need to worry about these issues.

After all, once you become a champion, one of the Elite Four, or even a Gym Leader, a group of people or organizations will automatically gather around you. Champions are even surrounded by the League.

However, Heath wasn't really interested in becoming a champion. Rather than becoming a champion, Heath felt that his current life was more in line with his own ideas. Cooking every day and entertaining guests was a pretty good thing, wasn't it? Moreover, Heath thought entertaining guests was a very interesting thing in itself, just like playing a game. Each guest had one kind of hobby or interest, so the time when Heath was happiest and most looking forward to each day was when he was open for business.

After obtaining the necessary permits for setting up a stall, Heath drove his food truck to his designated spot. Heath had considered going to the local market, but as most people who have bought groceries know, the freshest produce is usually in the morning and evening. Lunchtime is an awkward time; while it's not that no one sells vegetables at noon, there are fewer people around. So, Heath decided to set up his stall at his chosen location first and check back in the evening.

When Heath arrived at her stall location, she found it was indeed crowded. Even though it was a weekday, the street was packed with people. Some were handing out flyers, and some businesses were having promotions. Heath even saw several long-legged girls dressed in cosplay outfits from a popular anime in this world, trying to attract customers. This made Heath click her tongue in amazement. If it weren't for the fact that Sister Feng was the captain of Officer Jenny's squad in Kurenai City, and if Heath hadn't gotten to know those Officer Jennys, Heath felt that getting a location in such a popular commercial area would have been virtually impossible.

Although the usage fee is expensive, it's important to know that there are definitely many merchants in Kuroba City who are willing to pay double or even several times the price just to set up a stall here. The high foot traffic here means that setting up a stall here will not result in a loss, and you can also save on advertising costs.

Heath calmly drove the car in, then took down the "Closed" sign hanging at the entrance and put up the "Open" sign. Heath had considered putting those words on one sign, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. There are always some bored people in this world who are willing to do things that harm others without benefiting themselves. Heath had once heard a colleague complain that he did the same thing; if you want to open for business, just flip the sign over.

However, one time, this colleague encountered someone with nothing better to do who flipped the sign over, turning it into a "Closed" sign. As a result, customers stopped coming. That day, the colleague was wondering why no one was coming, only to later discover that someone else had flipped his sign. This was infuriating, and there was really no good way to deal with it. The colleague consulted a lawyer friend, asking if he could pursue legal action in this situation, but the lawyer thought the colleague was posing a legal exam question...

It was precisely because of his concern about such a ridiculous situation that Heath did not put the words "Closed" and "Open" on the same wooden sign. This way, he could prevent idle people from coming and causing trouble.

"But I don't know when it will arrive..." Heath yawned. If it weren't for the fact that Heath's food truck had an autopilot function, Heath felt that it would take him another seven or eight hours to get to Fallen Leaf City. After all, driving for a long time is a very tiring thing for a driver. If he could rest, it would be fine, but if he couldn't rest, it would be even more tiring.

According to Heath, a portion of highway accidents are caused by driver fatigue; a driver might simply doze off and then crash.

"Hello, Mr. Heath~" A familiar voice made Heath pause for a moment, then he looked up and saw a sweet-looking girl smiling at him. Heath stared at her for a moment, recognizing her as someone he remembered very well.

"...Karenya, what brings you here?" Heath's expression was somewhat complicated, but he still looked at Karenya and asked. Heath couldn't understand why this smart girl had come to this place. After all, Heath had thought that Karenya should have gone somewhere else. Heath had gone to Lavender Town and then to Hundred City.

"Hehe, of course it's a trip, but it's really a pleasant surprise to see Mr. Heath in Kurenai City~" Karenia sat down with a smile. It was clear that she had been living a good life during this time, and her skin had become even more delicate.

"...Okay, so what do you want to eat?" Heath looked at Karenia in front of him and asked. But at this moment, Heath also noticed that Karenia's shadow seemed a little strange. It had just wriggled a little.

"Hmm... then I'll have shrimp! I want to eat shrimp, and wouldn't it be a shame not to eat shrimp in a place like Kurenai City?" Karenia pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand, before giving her an answer. Heath glanced silently at the food request above her head, and then she knew exactly what dish to make.

Heath nodded; he did have shrimp.

Chapter 654 Various Ways to Cook Shrimp

However, Heath felt he needed to correct a problem: not every port city is a suitable place to eat seafood. Seafood has specific requirements regarding water quality and origin. Sometimes, the seafood eaten in a port city may come from a remote fishing village that you've never even heard of. This is not unusual. In Heath's opinion, Kuroba City is somewhat similar to this situation. Kuroba City is a port city, but its fishing industry is not developed.

But this is normal. After all, no one can expect a port with many cargo ships and cruise ships coming and going every day to be used to house some small fishing boats. Even if someone really intends to fish here, the management fees and docking fees of the port of Kurenai would result in huge costs, so it would be a very unprofitable thing.

Moreover, compared to developing the fishing industry, Vermilion City would be better off developing trade with various regions of the Alliance and developing industries such as tourism, which are more profitable. Therefore, Vermilion City's development plan is inherently different.

Of course, since Heath hadn't been to the market in Vermilion City yet, she didn't know much about the prices of seafood there. Heath was still using the ingredients she had previously obtained from Lavender City and Lavender Town.

Shrimp is a popular ingredient among seafood, and there are so many ways to cook it that it can be astonishing. Boiling, steaming, stir-frying, and various other methods can bring out the deliciousness of this special ingredient. However, there is one other way to cook it: drunken shrimp, or raw marinated shrimp.

Whether it's drunken shrimp or so-called raw marinated shrimp, it's actually a very troublesome issue: food safety. Some people may think that high-proof liquor can kill parasites, but Heath wants to say that this idea is absolutely wrong. If you throw a parasite into liquor, it can live and jump around for a while, let alone inside a shrimp. So, in Heath's opinion, eating raw shrimp is definitely a very foolish thing to do.

Fortunately, Karenia didn't have this strange hobby. Her tastes were quite normal; she just wanted to eat something fragrant. So, after seeing Karenia's request for food, Heath had already figured out what to make for her.

Dry pot shrimp, that's what Heath plans to make. It's rich in flavor and comes with a variety of side dishes. One serving of dry pot shrimp with a bowl of rice is enough to fill up the guests. If several guests come to eat, they can even order a larger portion of dry pot shrimp. The overall taste is good and the portion is generous. However, considering Karenia's taste, Heath made garlic-flavored dry pot shrimp this time, instead of the spicy version, but it still tastes very good.

A plate of dry-pot shrimp doesn't take long. Soon, Heath brought a small pot of dry-pot shrimp to Karenia, along with a bowl of white rice. This time, Heath didn't let Zoroark come to greet the guest because Karenia was very clever, and Heath was always worried that the girl was plotting something again. If that were the case, Zoroark would be more likely to run into trouble, so Heath simply came to serve Karenia himself.

"Oh my, Mr. Heath, it's been a long time! Your food cart looks so much more upscale now!" Karenia smiled as she accepted her food, but instead of eating, she chatted with Heath. Heath nodded, and anyone could sense the distance between them, but Karenia seemed to have no objection at all.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Heath, do you know anything about Collectors?" Karenya suddenly asked with a smile. Heath was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. He only knew about stamp collectors and silver coin collectors, but he really didn't know anything about Collectors.

"Oh, it's just a recent news story. A psychopathic criminal has appeared in the Kanto region. He often collects victims, and those victims disappear forever. Nobody knows where they are." Karenia said mysteriously. Heath's lips twitched. He actually knew about this, but not from the news. On his way to Corruption City, Heath watched a few horror movies out of boredom and came across a similar film.

Heath looked at Karenia with a bit of helplessness. Did this girl think he was some kind of old-fashioned person who couldn't watch movies? How could she ask him such a question? However, Heath himself didn't expect to see such a pure blood and gore movie in the Pokémon world. It was quite interesting, although there were no Pokémon in that horror movie. It was just something a complete pervert did.

“I know, he’s been locked in a special Poké Ball.” Heath smiled. Karenia was stunned for a moment, then looked at Heath with surprise. She really didn’t expect that Heath had actually seen that horror movie. Karenia originally planned to tease Heath, but she didn’t expect that Heath had actually seen it, which made it no fun.

Seeing that Karenia had suddenly lost interest, Hiss chuckled and called out Zoroark. Several guests had already arrived, so Hiss had no intention of continuing to talk to Karenia and instead began to entertain today's guests.

"Is this the food truck that the Siluf Corporation made?" Heath heard some customers discussing this. Heath didn't have any opinion on it. After all, his food truck did come from the Siluf Corporation because he pressed the correct button, so it wasn't surprising. Moreover, Heath knew that the Siluf Corporation had participated in a technology exhibition a while ago and mentioned their food truck there. So, Heath's food truck was now a kind of walking advertisement for the Siluf Corporation.

Heath glanced at Zoroark, who was standing there serving a family of three—a man, a woman, and a little girl. However, seeing Zoroark's worried expression, Heath couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered some strange request.

“Okay…please wait a moment while I ask my boss if we can make this specialty dish.” Heath heard Zoroark’s words, and then Zoroark quickly walked over. Heath looked at the worried expression on her face and couldn’t help but feel a little curious.

"What's wrong?" Hiss asked, looking at Zoroark.

Chapter 655 Candied Seafood

"Trainer, Trainer, these guests said they want to eat sweet seafood and sweet noodles. Can you make that?" Zoroark walked over with a troubled look on his face and asked Hiss. Hiss paused for a moment, then nodded.

Although sweet seafood and sweet noodles might seem a bit odd, Heath knew one or two special ways to prepare them to satisfy these guests. However, Heath was genuinely surprised, since most people prefer seafood prepared either in its original flavor or with a spicy kick. These guests actually wanted sweet seafood. Heath thought it might be a matter of their lifestyle; people in some places do indeed prefer sweet food.

People from different places may have slightly different tastes, and even people in the same region may have different preferences. For example, many people think that people in Sichuan can eat a lot of spicy food, but in fact, there are some people in Sichuan who do not like spicy food and prefer other flavors.

So when a few customers suddenly appeared who liked sweet flavors, Heath didn't find it strange. After confirming what the customers wanted to eat, Heath began to prepare the dishes for them. Sweet seafood sounded simple enough, and the first thing Heath thought of was sweet and sour. The method of making sweet and sour dishes could be said to satisfy the customers' requirements. However, after reading the customers' requirements, Heath felt that sweet and sour dishes really wouldn't be able to satisfy the customers. After all, the tastes that these customers disliked were actually sour and spicy.

If they dislike sour flavors, then Heath can't make sweet and sour dishes for them, since sweet and sour dishes are inherently sweet and sour. In that case, Heath thought of another unique way to prepare them: candied seafood. Candied seafood is a special delicacy popular in a few regions. It involves using sugar to marinate the seafood. Seafood prepared this way tastes quite good and is also quite sweet, with a very unique texture. It's a rather selective way to eat seafood, but it's just right for these guests.

While sitting down with his candied seafood, Heath glanced up at the three guests in front of him. The three guests appeared to be a family of three, a man and a woman with a child, which was a very standard arrangement. What interested Heath was that when he first saw the middle-aged male guest, he noticed something was off about him. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the man himself, but rather that Heath noticed a very valuable watch on the man's wrist.

Previously, because of the golden color, Hiss had done some research on watches in the Pokémon world. After the research, Hiss had a certain understanding of these watches. Hiss felt that if he was not mistaken, then the watch on this man's hand was probably a very good watch. The price alone might be hundreds of thousands of League Coins, and if it was a special model, it might even be more than a million League Coins.

This made Heath sigh, after all, there are relatively few people who can wear a house on their wrist anytime, anywhere. However, Heath didn't have any opinion on this, since it was someone else's watch bought with their own money, so there was nothing to say about it.
