I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

However, for Heath, who had made it once before, the process of making this Chaoshan beef ball was not particularly complicated. Heath found it very easy to make. The only problem was that Chaoshan beef balls take a long time to make, but fortunately, Heath was already used to it. He could also make a lot of Chaoshan beef balls at once and use this unique food to attract customers. After the publicity was in place, the amount of Chaoshan beef balls that needed to be made every day would probably not be too much.

Soon, Heath drove his food truck to his stall location, a food street near Kanto University of Science and Technology. The surrounding area was filled with all sorts of food, all kinds of strange and wonderful things, and even some Pokémon-made foods, such as ice cream from Alcremie, which was quite interesting. There were also several shops that offered desserts and cakes, and the pastries in these shops were all very fragrant, even exaggeratedly so.

"It seems that attracting customers with taste alone is not so easy..." Heath slowly drove his food truck while looking around at the shops. This was a food street, so there were still many people on the street. Heath's food truck was very intelligent, which made it very slow. Heath even felt that if he got out and walked around, it would probably be faster than his food truck.

That's normal, though, since there are still quite a few people eating here.

After a while, Heath's food cart finally stopped at the designated spot. Heath then tidied her clothes and opened the shop for business.

But before Heath could figure out how to promote his food truck, he noticed several customers entering. These customers were looking around curiously, their eyes sparkling with excitement. Heath was stunned. Although he knew his food truck had gained a little fame, it was like a food show; if it didn't become a hit, then only viewers of the show would know about the contestants.

Therefore, Heath's positioning of his food truck was very accurate. It was a small food truck with some fame among certain groups. That was Heath's positioning. He never regarded his food truck as some kind of great restaurant.

"Hello, would you like to order something?" Zoroark walked over with a smile. Recently, this guy had added more details to his character, making him even more handsome. In fact, he was so handsome that it was astonishing. He was the kind of person who would be mistaken for a celebrity if he walked around outside.

So, faced with such a cute and beautiful Zoroark, the five boys were all a little embarrassed. Heath even saw one of the boys with fair skin blush instantly. Heath looked at their ages and their clothes and made a rough deduction in his mind.

These boys are probably students, and the only university in the vicinity is Kanto University of Science and Technology.

"Excuse me... what kind of food do you have here?" Although they were a little embarrassed, the boys remained calm. But that's normal; not everyone turns into a fool when they see a pretty girl. That would be too exaggerated.

"We have everything here. Whatever you ask for, we can make it," Zoroark said confidently. Heath had no objections. Zoroark was right; he could indeed make anything. Moreover, the ingredients in Heath's storage room had expanded to an astonishing extent. In fact, if Heath and his food cart were to fall into a very deep pit one day, he could survive for four or five years on the food in the food cart, even if he didn't get out.

"However, our current chef's recommendation is beef balls. A bowl only costs twelve Alliance Coins. Would you like to try them?" Zoroark remembered Heath's instructions and quickly added. Heath was very satisfied. These Chaoshan beef balls took Heath a lot of effort to make, so naturally he had to recommend them. Heath originally planned to promote them first, but unexpectedly, customers came to the store.

"Okay, then we'll...buy five bowls." The boys exchanged glances. Twelve yuan was quite a bargain; the cheapest fried rice near the school was around that price. After all, fried rice allowed them to choose their own side dishes and was filling. They just didn't know how the beef balls were.

However, college students who haven't yet entered the workforce, especially when faced with a beautiful young woman, often find it difficult to say no. Sometimes, saving face can lead to financial hardship.

Fortunately, Heath was a conscientious chef, and he naturally wouldn't let his guests spend money on something that didn't taste good.

So soon, five bowls of fragrant beef balls were served in front of the boys.

"It seems...not bad?"

Chapter 759 How Did the Popularity Come About?

The beef balls looked rather bland, with a light color, some green scallions, and a bit of oil. They looked quite appetizing, so Zatan picked up his chopsticks, took a beef ball, and put it in his mouth. He took a bite, but then his eyes widened in surprise.

Zatan initially thought the beef balls he was eating were the kind of fast-food beef balls commonly found in stores, with a soft, chewy surface and a fluffy, juicy center. He was quite cautious, as it seemed like the juice would burst into his mouth with every bite. However, to his surprise, these beef balls had a very unique flavor. They didn't burst with juice when he bit into them, and there were no soft, crumbly bits. Instead, they had a very chewy and distinctive beef flavor, and they were quite bouncy.

Paired with a light scallion soup, this tastes absolutely amazing.

So Zatan ate another one without realizing it, and then another. When he finally stopped, his bowl was empty. He touched his stomach; he wasn't full. He hadn't been very hungry before, but with the delicious beef balls, Zatan felt his taste buds suddenly awaken. He counted; he had just eaten six beef balls, which cost two Union Coins each—quite expensive. But the quality was excellent, and the taste was delicious enough. The bouncy texture was unforgettable.

Zatan initially thought it would be one of those overpriced, juicy beef balls sold in stores, but it turned out to be a solid beef ball, which pleased him greatly. He licked his lips and ordered two more bowls. The other four classmates made the same choice. The taste was excellent, and although the price seemed a bit high, it depended on the quality of the ingredients. These beef balls were made with high-quality ingredients, and there was nothing to complain about.

"Team leader, I didn't expect that the food truck made by these senior brothers would be such a good cook!" A boy whispered to Zatan while Zoroark went to get the beef balls, and Zatan nodded in agreement.

They had originally planned to grab a quick bite before heading back to school to continue their experiments, but Zatan immediately noticed a food truck with the Hiss Kitchen sign. He recognized the truck; the senior student who had given a lecture at the school worked in the research department of the Siluf Corporation, and he had proudly said that Hiss Kitchen was Siluf's latest creation, and the only one of its kind, because its cost was prohibitively high.

The research department is collecting data and then plans to launch a more affordable foldable space series.

Even so, it's said that some wealthy individuals have already pre-ordered folding space technology from Siluf, intending to use it in their airplanes, homes, and luxury cars. It's a high-tech technology with a very wide range of market applications. However, in return, Siluf has also significantly increased its security measures. After all, this technology is so powerful that it would be troublesome if it were targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

For example, the Houston Rockets, who have been making the news a lot lately.

So Zatan immediately decided to come in and take a look at what this technological marvel was like. Zatan thought that other students would probably notice the food truck soon, so there would likely be quite a few students coming up later.

Zatan originally only planned to come up here to collect some data, but he didn't expect there to be a beautiful young waitress here. What he didn't expect even more was that the owner of this food truck was such a good cook. This plate of beef balls made him want to come back again.

"That's for sure. After all, it's a product developed by the Shiruff Research Department and also by our seniors from Kanto University of Science and Technology!" Zatan was very proud and proud. In fact, every student at Kanto University of Science and Technology is proud of their alma mater. After all, looking at the pictures of those tech giants and scientists who have made outstanding contributions hanging on the school walls, every student at the university is filled with excitement and wishes they could be displayed on the wall themselves.

While this may be an exaggeration, it is enough to show what kind of school Kanto University of Science and Technology is, as it is home to many influential figures in scientific research and technology.

"More guests?" Heath looked at the students who were coming in one after another with some surprise. Most of them were students, but there were also some adults. However, students were the majority. Seeing the excited expressions of the students and the ones asking Heath if they could take pictures, Heath knew why his food truck attracted so many people.

Although Heath knew perfectly well where his food truck came from, and that Siluf Corporation had simply gotten a bargain, in reality, this food truck was essentially a creation of a cheat code. However, because Heath needed the food truck to have a legitimate source, Siluf Corporation became the company that manufactured the food truck, and now it even took on the task of upgrading the food truck, making it a complete tool.

However, being a "tool" isn't something you can just do on a whim. Although the Siluf Corporation is indeed a tool, they have indeed obtained some products that surpass their company's research level with the help of the system. For example, the technology of compressed space. Many people are imagining what life will be like in the future. Heath knows that some of the researchers at the Siluf Corporation, and even the founder of the Siluf Corporation, were students at Kanto University of Science and Technology. So Heath thinks that it's possible that these students learned about the special features of his food truck from somewhere, which is why they came here.

However, this is also a good thing, at least it saved Heath a lot of money and a lot of brain cells, but whether he can retain guests depends on Heath himself.

Soon, under Zoroark's enthusiastic invitation, the students all took out twelve yen to buy a bowl of beef balls, which made them feel a little more at ease. However, the beef balls, which were originally intended as admission tickets, suddenly became incredibly popular. In an instant, the already popular post about "High-tech food trucks landing in Goldenrod City" by Kanto University of Science and Technology gained even more attention.

Many students who hadn't yet arrived saw comments like, "The taste is absolutely amazing!" and "I even think this chef's culinary skills are more advanced than our brother's technological level? Is that just my imagination?" This made the students even more curious.

"Cooking skills are better than technology?" I don't believe it.

Chapter 760 Isn't it normal to have a fish head with chopped chili?

Heath was incredibly busy, far busier than he had imagined. He wished he had three heads and six arms. He had seriously underestimated the appeal of his food truck to the students of Kanto University of Science and Technology. Before Heath could even figure out how to promote his truck, it was already packed with people. Everywhere was filled with people, it was overflowing. Heath had no choice but to call over Farfetch'd to help serve the guests, otherwise he felt he probably wouldn't be able to handle so many customers.

The number of guests was so large it was almost despairing, but it also meant that Heath's business was booming and highly profitable, allowing Heath to earn even more money. This was probably the only motivation for Heath to continue entertaining guests.

Although Heath is now quite wealthy, when it comes to money, there's always someone who thinks they have too little, not too much. Of course, some people who say, "I was happiest when I was broke," are another story. Heath thinks that for those people, having too much money might have made them lose motivation and direction, which is why they've lost their happiness.

Just like when playing some simulation games, if you max out all the resources at the beginning, you'll lose motivation. After all, the fun of simulation lies in the process of nurturing.

"Trainer, Trainer, there's a customer here who says he wants to eat the chopped chili fish head on our menu. Can you make that?" Zoroark's voice came over. She was too lazy to hide it anymore, but to avoid being discovered by these clever students and sent to be sliced, Zoroark would still occasionally come to the kitchen to say a few words to Hiss.

Although he said he could just reveal himself as a Pokémon when the time came, Zoroark was still very resistant to the idea of ​​being exposed.

“Of course you can, anything on the menu can definitely be made.” Heath looked at Zoroark strangely, wondering if the little guy’s head had gone mad from all the work. Otherwise, how could he be like this? You know, anything on the menu can definitely be made, otherwise Heath wouldn’t have needed to print it on the menu.

Heath's food cart does have a menu, which isn't surprising. After all, it would be a bit strange for any restaurant not to have a menu. However, Heath's menu can be described as simple: it just lists the name of the dish and the price. There are no photos or anything like that, and it hasn't been updated in a long time. Heath doesn't think there's any need to update it. If he had to, he could probably create a menu that's comparable to a dictionary, since there are just too many dishes in this world plus dishes from his previous life.

There's enough to write about just the cuisine of China, and even the cuisine of a single province could be written about at length. Every year, there are some very innovative chefs who develop new dishes. Some dishes are interesting, while others should be thrown in the trash. Unfortunately, most people without culinary skills end up making the latter, like bubble tea rice, which even Heath was shocked to see.

“But that customer said she wanted to eat chopped chili fish head made with eel head…” Zoroark’s voice was tinged with uncertainty. Heath was also stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at Zoroark in surprise. Good heavens, what is that guy talking about?

Heath followed Zoroark's gaze and saw a pretty girl sitting quietly. She smiled when she saw Heath, and Heath smiled back in a friendly manner.

Favorite flavor: sour, spicy, and sweet.

Disliked taste: bitter

Foods that may cause allergies: Shrimp

[My craving for food: I really want my mom's eel head, the kind sprinkled with chili peppers, but does this restaurant even make it? Didn't she say she could make anything?]

Heath raised an eyebrow. Goodness, so this person really wanted to eat eel heads. This was quite unexpected for Heath. However, there are always some strange tastes and ways of cooking in this world. For example, in his previous life, Heath had read a report about a unique delicacy made on a certain grassland: mosquito pancakes. These were large black pancakes made by kneading together many mosquitoes, and they were edible.

Heath felt itchy and uncomfortable just thinking about it. Those were mosquitoes! Heath knew how small mosquitoes were. To make such a big cake using mosquitoes as raw materials, and to make so many of them, you could imagine how terrifying the mosquitoes in that place must be. Heath was also very curious about who the first person to invent this way of eating was, and how he came up with the idea of ​​using mosquitoes to make food.

"Tell that guest to wait a bit." Heath twisted his wrist. Being a chef puts a lot of strain on the wrist, and Heath sometimes felt some pain in his wrist, at which point he needed to rest.

Steamed fish head with chopped chili is a dish from Hunan cuisine. It is usually made with the head of a bighead carp, which is quite large and one is enough. The taste is also very good, and it is one of the most famous dishes in Hunan cuisine. Eel is also a very common ingredient, and its taste is also acceptable. However, it is the type of eel that is more picky about the diners. People who do not like eel will not be able to eat it no matter how it is cooked. However, most eel dishes use a whole eel.

Customers like this, who only want the eel head, are quite unique. Fortunately, eels can still be sold even without the head, so it doesn't affect the price much. Otherwise, Heath would have to charge more. But even so, Heath plans to charge a higher price for the chopped chili fish head this time, since the ingredients are different.

Heath had never made chopped chili eel head before, but fortunately, it wasn't too complicated to make, and the eel's head wasn't very big, so Heath didn't need to cut it completely in half; just a small cut would be enough to let the flavor penetrate. Heath then made a plate of chopped chili eel head with a blank expression and had Zoroark bring over the rice along with it.

"Hopefully, the next customer will be more normal, ideally someone who only likes to eat the eel body." Heath looked at the eels in his bowl and shook his head. However, there really weren't many people who ate eels. Fortunately, there was a storage room, so he wasn't worried about the eels spoiling.

"Boss Heath?" came an unfamiliar voice.

Chapter 761 Eight Treasure Rice

Heath was taken aback; he had never heard this voice before. After looking at the guest in front of him, Heath became even more certain that he had never seen this old man before.

The person standing in front of him calling Heath's name was an old man, an elderly but elegant old man. He was dressed in a well-fitting outfit, the brand of which was hard to discern, but Heath had a good eye. The fabric of the clothes must be expensive, so he was probably a wealthy person. However, it was hard to say for sure, since Heath knew from his previous life that there were some trendsetters in this world who would wear designer clothes even if they couldn't afford to eat.

"Who are you?" Heath looked at the old man with great curiosity, but still asked with great respect. The man looked to be at least in his sixties or seventies, with not many wrinkles on his face. He had the air of a handsome old man, which reminded Heath of Officer Jenny.

"Haha, Mr. Heath, you really don't remember me? Well, that makes sense. I was having dinner in the living room at the time. You came and went in a hurry, so of course you didn't see me." The old man laughed heartily. Heath was stunned for a moment, then realized that apart from the few people at the New Year's Eve dinner, there was probably no one else who could say that.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ke Xin. I'm an old comrade-in-arms of that old man, Officer J.S. Heath. I didn't expect you, Boss Heath, to actually come to Golden City. I'm in for a treat." The old man named Ke Xin said happily, laughing heartily. Heath also showed a friendly smile. Putting aside the other man's age, the fact that he was Officer J.S. Heath was already taking him seriously. He just didn't expect that this old man would recognize him. Heath originally thought that apart from Master Wu Gui, probably no one else would recognize him that day.

Just as Heath and Mr. Kexin were talking, Zoroark encountered a problem. She looked at the girl in front of her, who was wiping away tears and was too embarrassed to apologize. The girl had seemed normal when she first saw the chopped eel head, but after taking a bite, she burst into tears. This made Zoroark a little flustered, but fortunately, the girl quickly composed herself.

"Is this Ralts?" To divert attention, the girl even greeted Ralts, who was in Zoroark's arms. Zoroark quickly put on a kind smile. She really couldn't handle the girl in front of her, who could cry on cue without any warning.

Ralts looked at the girl in front of her with curiosity. She had just sensed the girl's intense sadness. As a Psychic Pokémon that can sense the emotions of others, it was not surprising that she could sense other people's emotions.

So Ralts reached out her little hand, and with Zoroark's help, Ralts's hand touched the girl's cheek. The girl looked at Ralts in surprise as she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and then smiled at her.

"What are you doing, Lala?" Zoroark asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I... I can feel it, she's thinking about her mother." Ralts said in her childish voice. She wasn't very familiar with many emotions, but she was very familiar with the emotion of missing her mother. So she immediately recognized that the girl was crying inside, that she was missing her family, her mother.

Zoroark calmly left a pack of tissues and turned to leave; she still had other guests to attend to. The girl touched her face and smiled slightly. She hadn't really liked raising Pokémon before, but now she thought that catching a Ralts and having it as a companion was a good idea.

"...Grandpa Ke Xin, would you like something to eat?" Heath asked with a smile. During their conversation, Heath had learned about the old man's identity. He was now a professor at Kanto University of Science and Technology, teaching materials science, and was considered a highly respected figure.

"As people get older, do you have any soft and tender foods?" Grandpa Ke Xin asked with a smile. He had eaten the food made by Heath before, and it tasted very good and was very soft, which was suitable for people of their age.

Heath glanced at the top of Grandpa Ke Xin's head, which gave him an idea of ​​the man's tastes. He then knew what to make for the old man. So, after asking Grandpa Ke Xin to wait patiently for a while, Heath turned around and began to prepare the food for Grandpa Ke Xin.

Meanwhile, the leek duck was busy serving guests. Fortunately, it could cook most of the food the guests ate, and would only tell Heath if it didn't know how to cook something, which saved Heath a lot of trouble.

This time, Heath planned to make eight-treasure rice for Grandpa Ke Xin, using glutinous rice as the main ingredient. It has a sweet taste, which is very suitable for Grandpa Ke Xin who likes sweets. Of course, if Grandpa Ke Xin has diabetes, he definitely cannot eat it. Fortunately, Heath had just asked and confirmed that the other party did not have any diseases before starting to make eight-treasure rice.

Eight-treasure rice is very easy to make, but it is precisely because it is easy to make that a series of unique inventions have been made. Generally speaking, eight-treasure rice is topped with ingredients such as candied fruit, peach kernels, red dates, lotus seeds, longan pulp, and raisins. However, the eight-treasure rice made by people nowadays is even more unique. Heath has even seen savory eight-treasure rice with fried ribbonfish, which can be described as very heretical.

For some people who only like authentic eight-treasure rice, this is like adding strawberries to Mapo Tofu or using cherry tomatoes to stir-fry scrambled eggs with tomatoes – it's just as infuriating.

However, Heath made a very authentic eight-treasure rice this time. It's not that he can't make other kinds of eight-treasure rice, but Heath himself will definitely not serve it to other guests until he is satisfied with it.

So what was finally presented to Grandpa Ke Xin was a bowl of eight-treasure rice. The sweet eight-treasure rice made the old man very happy. He just likes to eat sweet food, and this kind of soft and glutinous food can be eaten normally even if he doesn't have many teeth.

Heath smiled as he looked at the satisfied old man. Heath had added a secret seasoning to this eight-treasure rice, making it a very good choice as it was believed to have health benefits.

"Adu the Heavenly King has come to Golden City!" A boy stood up excitedly.

Chapter 762 What to Eat After Getting Sick

The dining car was quiet for a moment, then it became lively again. Many students who had been watching the interior of the dining car after finishing their meals rushed out excitedly. In no time, only a dozen or so people remained in Hiss's dining car. Although there were still some people, it was a far cry from the bustling atmosphere before. However, Hiss didn't seem to mind. After all, it was Lance, the Elite Four member, which was understandable. Lance was extremely popular in the Kanto region. When the League was first established, there was no such thing as a champion. Later, when it was established, people assumed that Lance was the champion of the Kanto region. However, Lance had never admitted this. He said that he was waiting for a trainer who could defeat the Elite Four according to the League's rules and regulations to appear. At that time, that person would be the true champion trainer.

Even so, Avalokitesvara could not stop people from bestowing upon him the title of "uncrowned king".

Lance's fame in Kanto is roughly equivalent to Jay Chou's in his previous life—both are superstars. However, Lance is more famous, since this world is the world of Pokémon, and almost everyone has been or been a trainer. People who aren't trainers are extremely rare. Heath hasn't actually met many such people yet. Heath has heard Professor Oak mention some things, such as a condition called Pokémon phobia. The symptoms are peculiar; seeing Pokémon is fine, but if one gets close to or is touched by a Pokémon, they will tremble all over and develop large red rashes. In severe cases, it can even cause shortness of breath, leading to respiratory alkalosis and death.

When Heath first heard about it, everyone was stunned. Could there really be such a disease in this world?

However, Professor Oak later said that most of these illnesses are psychological, but the cure rate is relatively low. After all, the best psychics are Pokémon, and it is very difficult for the few psychics who can cure this problem. Currently, only Sabrina in the Kanto region can do this. Fortunately, the incidence of this disease is particularly low. It is often caused by being frightened by Pokémon when they are young, so Sabrina is not very busy. The League's requirement for Sabrina is that if there are patients with this type of disease, please ask Sabrina to treat them.

So it's perfectly fine for Miss Sabrina to travel all over the world. It has to be said that the League is very kind to people who are truly capable.

"Lord Lance... Could it be because of Cynthia?" Hiss fell into deep thought. In his opinion, this possibility still existed. After all, the other party was Lord Lance. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have come without a special reason. Moreover, Hiss knew his girlfriend's true identity very well. She was the champion of the Sinnoh region. Hiss didn't believe that the Kanto League was completely unaware that Cynthia was coming. So, it was very likely that Lord Lance had come to receive Cynthia. After all, she was the champion, so the Kanto region needed to send someone of similar status. Sending just anyone would be considered an insult.
