I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Heath suddenly thought of something. According to Professor Oak's research report, Psychic-type Pokémon sometimes enter a Psychic-excited phase. During this time, the Psychic Pokémon's Psychic power increases, which also causes them to be unable to sleep and feel tired. This usually happens to Psychic Pokémon that have recently evolved. It is said that the Psychic Pokémon's body is increasing its Psychic power, which is a very mystical explanation.

"I do want to... ha... take a nap." Heath yawned again, but he knew that if he kept his eyes closed, it would probably be lunchtime when he opened them again. So he forced himself to stand up. And frankly, sleeping too long wasn't good for his health. Heath knew this himself. People get more and more tired the more they sleep, and sleeping too long can also cause dizziness. So getting up every day is actually a very important thing.

So Hiss tried to get up, but just as he did, Kirlia pushed him back down. Hiss was stunned. Kirlia definitely couldn't push Hiss down; Hiss's strength was undeniable. However, Hiss hadn't expected Kirlia to push him down, so he was caught off guard and pushed back down.

"If you're sleepy, you should go to sleep." Kirullian said very seriously. Heath's lips twitched. Why did he suddenly have the feeling of a naughty child who didn't want to sleep but was called to sleep by the teacher? This feeling was really peculiar. Heath himself didn't know what to say, but he still insisted on getting up, because if he went back to sleep, Heath was really worried that he would sleep until noon or even night.

"It's time to get up, brush your teeth, and wash your face." This was the reason Heath gave. Seeing that Heath was determined, Kirullian let go of his hand and obediently followed Heath out to brush her teeth.

Upon entering the living room, there were no other Pokémon besides Mew playing games and Charizard exercising. Zoroark had been sleeping soundly ever since Hiss announced yesterday that today was a holiday, Farfetch'd was still asleep, and Snorlax was still lying down, though it was impossible to tell if its eyelids were open.

Heath didn't bother to wake them up. After glancing at Mew and Charizard, they knew it was time to wash up, so they quickly followed Heath to the bathroom to begin their morning routine.

Chapter 953 What's good to eat in the sweltering summer?

Although there's no business to do today, it doesn't mean Heath can skip everything this morning. If her parents were still alive, Heath felt she could relax and slack off, but now she has to take responsibility. There are many things she needs to do. If Heath doesn't cook, her Pokémon probably won't have a hot meal until Farfetch'd wakes up. Heath also needs to prepare lunch for May, and the ingredients need to be prepared, but she hasn't decided what to make yet.

Theoretically speaking, hot pot is the easiest thing to make. All you need to do is chop the ingredients and prepare the hot pot base. It's convenient, simple, and quick, and the taste is usually not too bad, making it a great choice. The only problem is that hot pot is very hot, and Orange City is currently in the middle of a hot summer. Heath just checked the temperature on his phone today, and although it's not noon yet, the temperature is already 26 degrees Celsius. It seems that breaking 30 degrees Celsius is not a big problem, and it may even reach 33 to 36 degrees Celsius.

What does a temperature in the thirties mean? Anyone who has experienced it knows that at that temperature, forget about eating, you won't have much of an appetite. All you can think about is drinking water, drinking water, and drinking water constantly. Only by drinking water can you calm your mind and body. Going outside is even more of a torment. The high temperature will burn your body. Even if you stand in the shade, you can still feel the scorching heat on your clothes. So, eating hot pot in such sweltering weather is undoubtedly a very torturous experience.

It's already very hot outside. Although it won't be too hot while eating, and the air conditioning will make it quite cool, it's still not ideal to eat a hot pot. Besides, there are serving chopsticks in this world, so theoretically, people shouldn't want to eat with someone they've just met. The main reason why hot pot was criticized by many people in my previous life was that everyone's chopsticks were in the pot. Even though it had turned into boiling water, people still felt uncomfortable.

What's more, some people don't care about hygiene when eating. They'll pick up a slice of beef and then lick their chopsticks twice before putting it into the hot pot. This is really unbearable for some people, which is why many people dislike and avoid eating hot pot.

After all, it was the first time that Mr. Senri and Haruka had met him, and Heath didn't want to leave a bad impression on them.

So Heath didn't plan to make hot pot. Hot pot is suitable for winter, but it's already summer, and eating hot pot in the summer is quite a challenge. If it's outdoors, it's even more of a torture. However, in his previous life, Heath had actually seen people eating hot pot in the summer, but they were in the water, with their feet soaking in the water while eating hot pot. It seemed quite refreshing, although Heath thought it wasn't very hygienic. After all, so many people ate hot pot like that, and if athlete's foot got spread, it would be a real problem.

"Mew, what do you usually want to eat in this hot weather?" Hiss asked Mew while brushing his teeth. Kirlia has grown a lot taller and no longer needs Hiss to carry her, but there's nothing he can do about it. Kirlia just loves to stick to Hiss, and even now she's still clinging to his side, unwilling to leave, which makes Hiss both amused and exasperated.

However, Kirlia is very well-behaved and sensible, and rarely causes trouble. So, Hiss doesn't mind Kirlia clinging to him. After all, it's his Pokémon, and it's fine if it likes to cling to him.

"Is it hot? I usually eat chilled watermelon." Mew's tail flicked. As a Psychic Pokémon, it was naturally quite knowledgeable. Moreover, it usually liked to run around, so it had eaten quite a lot of things. However, if you were to ask what its favorite food was in the height of summer, it would naturally be watermelon.

On a sweltering summer day, take a chilled watermelon out of the refrigerator, cut it open, and take a bite. Anyone who has ever tasted chilled watermelon knows the taste all too well. Combined with the watermelon's generally juicy flesh, one bite brings an instant feeling of refreshing coolness, making the summer heat seem insignificant.

Heath stroked his chin. Watermelon was indeed good, but using it to cook was a bit of a stretch. Although Heath felt that eating too much watermelon could fill one's stomach, it was not meant to be served as a formal meal to guests, so it was naturally impossible to serve it to Xiaoyao and Qianli. After hesitating for a while, Heath decided to cook some home-style dishes that he was good at. That should be enough. As for the dining environment, Heath's food cart was not affected by the outside world.

Even if a volcano were erupting outside, Heath's food truck would remain unscathed.

"Maybe we could add some shaved ice or something, that would be pretty good." Heath thought to himself. Eating shaved ice would definitely be very refreshing, the only problem being that you can't eat something cold right after eating something hot, and similarly, eating something hot right after eating something cold can easily cause diarrhea. Of course, if your stomach is in good condition, this might not happen, but the probability of it happening is still quite high. So Heath usually doesn't let guests eat it immediately. However, if Qianli and Xiaoyao arrive early, then this problem won't exist. Heath can let them eat shaved ice to cool off first, and then have their main meal.

"Oh right, how can we beat the heat without mung bean soup?" Heath slapped his palm. He realized a blind spot: he seemed to have forgotten that mung bean soup could also beat the heat. Of course, mung bean soup tastes even better when chilled, and it can even be made into mung bean smoothies, which is indeed a good choice. With that in mind, Heath took out mung beans from his storage room, which would come in handy later.

However, it's important to note that mung bean soup's cooling properties require minimal sugar. Too much sugar can actually be counterproductive. Theoretically, the best approach is to omit the sugar altogether, as this will maximize its cooling, heat-relieving, diuretic, and detoxifying effects. It's quite effective, but if someone has already suffered heatstroke, they should be taken to the hospital immediately. Don't delay.

Heath had already decided what to have for lunch and was just waiting for Haruka to arrive.

Chapter 954 Xiaoyao

"Dad, do you mean that Heath really came to Petalburg City? Is he still running a stall next to your gym?" May looked at her father excitedly, then grabbed his arm and asked. Senri was a little dizzy from May's shaking, but what could he do? She was his precious daughter. Although he wasn't very old, he didn't plan to have any more children. She was his only precious daughter, and if he didn't love her, who would? So Senri didn't say anything, but just smiled and rubbed his daughter's head.

However, her precious daughter dodged it the next second, muttering that rubbing her head like that would stunt her growth. This made Qianli both amused and exasperated. But children always have some strange insistence, so Qianli didn't say anything. If she didn't want to rub her head, she didn't have to. Her precious daughter had indeed grown a lot taller and looked very energetic now.

"Yes, Mr. Heath is here. I ate at Mr. Heath's food truck yesterday and even saw a Shiny Kirlia. That Kirlia is incredibly good at being a waiter, and Mr. Heath's cooking is delicious too." Qianli said with a smile. He knew that his daughter really liked Heath and talked to his wife every day about wanting to eat Heath's food, but because Heath lived in the Kanto region and often traveled around, the family had never been there, which Yao found quite regrettable.

May became excited instantly. She didn't know Hiss before. After all, Hiss was a chef in the Kanto region. Although there had been some news reports about Hiss's food truck, Hiss was usually mentioned as an ordinary passerby and not specifically discussed. However, with the exposure of Hiss and Cynthia's relationship, Hiss instantly attracted a huge amount of attention and traffic. It can be said that Hiss was quite well-known even in the Hoenn region and the more distant Padia Alola region at that time.

Haruka, however, was even more curious about Heath's culinary skills. She even collected some food magazines from the Kanto region and discovered the praise Heath received from food critics, including the title "magical chef." Magic is something that young people are most curious about, and the food magazines described Heath's culinary skills as incredible, with comments like "He can discover the most suitable taste for each diner" and "A dish will have a thousand different flavors for a thousand different guests." This made Haruka even more curious about Heath.

Now that she heard her dad say that Heath had come to Petalburg City and was even setting up a stall at the gym next to her dad's, May immediately became interested and dragged her father over. If it weren't for the fact that where she and her mom lived was a bit far from Petalburg City, she could have rushed there yesterday.

"I have to try it!" Xiaoyao clenched her fists to encourage herself.

However, when she actually arrived at Heath's food truck with her father, Xiaoyao still felt nervous. She couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although she knew she didn't need to be nervous, looking at the food truck she had seen in magazines many times, Xiaoyao still felt nervous. She didn't know what to do and nervously clutched her clothes. However, Qianli, who was beside her, didn't have so many concerns. He went straight to knock on the door. After knocking a few times, the door opened, and the person in the photo stood directly in front of Xiaoyao.

"Good morning!" Little Yao, who was only nine years old, immediately shouted loudly, full of energy.

Heath was taken aback. Goodness, when he opened the door, he had guessed that it must be Chisato with her daughter, Haruka, so he quickly opened the door to let them in. But he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, Haruka did see them, but she was also stunned by the girl's energetic shout. Are all girls so energetic these days? The shout was so loud that passersby cast curious glances at her, and Chisato, standing to the side, blushed and looked very embarrassed.

"Good morning, you must be May?" Hiss chuckled. This girl looked cute and lively, and her age should be around Ash's, a little over nine years old now. Ash can embark on his journey when he turns ten, while May will probably have to wait for Ash to arrive before they can start traveling together, or perhaps she will start her journey on her own? Hiss had forgotten most of it, since he couldn't catch up on the Pokémon anime after coming to this world. Moreover, he knew that this world was different from his memories, especially since there were special episodes here.

"Um... Brother Heath, I'm Xiaoyao." Xiaoyao realized that her shouting just now was really rude. She lowered her head in embarrassment and bit her lip. This was really too embarrassing.

"Haha, it's okay. Speaking loudly can also help improve your cardiopulmonary function." Heath laughed heartily, laughing very loudly. Qianli was stunned for a moment, glanced at Heath, and then nodded gratefully. He knew what Heath meant by doing this. It's embarrassing for one person to shout, but if two people shout, then it's not so embarrassing.

Sure enough, upon hearing Heath's hearty laughter, Haruka looked up blankly, and then, for some reason, she started laughing too. Her embarrassment and annoyance instantly subsided. It has to be said that laughter is like a virus; it's contagious.

"Welcome, please come in." Heath smiled and led the now much more relaxed Haruka and Senri into his dining car. There were no other guests in the car, and Zoroark and the others hadn't come out either. Heath had just made breakfast for them and specifically told them that they didn't need to come out today because it was their day off. Zoroark and the others naturally didn't refuse and obediently stayed in the lounge.

Xiaoyao looked around curiously. She was very curious about Hiss's food truck. It didn't look very big from the outside, but it was huge inside. Although she knew that it was the result of the research of the Shiruf Corporation, she felt that it was really amazing when she saw it for the first time. Xiaoyao even thought that if such space technology were to be used, traditional real estate developers would probably go bankrupt, and the real estate developers of the future would become the companies that mastered this technology.

In the future, houses that don't look very big will actually be hundreds or thousands of square meters once you go inside. At that time, house prices will definitely plummet, but the premise is that this technology is fully mature.

"Want some mung bean soup?" Heath asked with a smile.

Chapter 955 Intricate and exclusive etiquette is what is known as aristocratic etiquette.

"Daddy, what do you think Brother Heath will make for us to eat?" Xiaoyao sat nervously in her chair. In front of her was a bowl of mung bean soup, which Heath had just ladled for her and Qianli. It felt cool and refreshing to the touch. After taking a sip, Xiaoyao couldn't help but squint her eyes. The mung bean soup tasted really good, without a single flaw. Although it wasn't very sweet, after drinking it, the sweltering heat she had just experienced outside seemed to disappear instantly. Xiaoyao couldn't help but take another sip, holding the mung bean soup in front of her with satisfaction. Now she was even more looking forward to what she would eat later.

"I don't know. Mr. Heath didn't say what we're going to do today, he just told us to wait a bit." Qianli glanced at his daughter. Although she was still young, he inexplicably felt a pang of jealousy. His daughter's feelings for Heath were just too strong, almost to an abnormal degree. However, Qianli knew that his daughter definitely didn't have any romantic feelings for Heath, after all, Xiaoyao was still young. But this idol worship made Qianli feel uneasy. He pursed his lips, feeling like his little darling was about to become someone else's.

Xiaoyao nodded. Heath hadn't said what he was going to do, but looking at Heath who was busy in the kitchen, Xiaoyao's eyes held a hint of curiosity.

When did it start? Xiaoyao herself couldn't remember, but she remembered that every time her father, Qianli, came home, her mother would cook a big table of delicious food, and the whole family would eat happily on it. She was happy, and her parents were happy too. It seemed that the thing that held them together was that hot meal. This made Xiaoyao think. Could it be that delicious food was the secret to maintaining a family's relationship?

After getting to know Heath, such a wonderful chef, and learning about his achievements, and seeing that Heath became the champion's boyfriend, young Haruka was greatly shocked. It can be said that Haruka became more and more interested in cooking. Now, watching Heath cook with focus, Haruka seems to have discovered some fun in cooking.

Heath's food truck features a semi-open kitchen design, allowing guests to easily see Heath working diligently and the kitchen environment. This helps guests feel at ease while eating, as food safety and hygiene are always of utmost importance, and Heath herself values ​​this highly. Seeing the kitchen naturally means seeing its own clean and beautiful kitchen. It can be said that Heath's kitchen is so clean that it's impossible to find any flaws, which is also a way to increase guests' dining experience.

After all, food from a clean kitchen is obviously more appealing and reassuring than food from a dirty kitchen, rather than something that makes you feel uncomfortable. In his previous life, Heath once went out to eat and ordered noodles. When the waiter brought the noodles, his finger accidentally got into the soup. Although he noticed it quickly, Heath lost his appetite and noticed that the waiter's fingernails were black. It was a good thing that Heath didn't get angry.

Although people might say that the street vendors in India are clean and hygienic, no one actually likes to eat in a dirty environment. It's a huge test for one's stomach and intestines. Heath himself is very careful about hygiene.

"Here, this is the appetizer, a vegetable salad with 'Sanbuzhan' (a type of salad)." Heath smiled and brought the dish over, placing it in front of Xiaoyao and Qianli. This time, Heath had prepared a grand dish, a banquet dish. This was not something to be done casually. Banquet dishes are usually only prepared by chefs for weddings or important occasions. Of course, according to tradition, the dishes were served one by one, but with the development of the times, important occasions such as weddings have become prepared in advance and served all at once, since serving one dish at a time is too troublesome. However, some private restaurants still retain this custom.

Many people say that foreign cuisine is elegant, high-end, and classy, ​​but in fact, Chinese cuisine is the truly classy one, after all, it has been passed down for thousands of years. It's just that most of the time people are exposed to home-cooked meals, so naturally there aren't so many formalities. But what about royal banquets? You should know that in ancient China, there was a special Ministry of Rites to be responsible for all kinds of etiquette matters, from the enthronement ceremony to how the emperor's meals were served, how many dishes were served, the order of the dishes, etc., all of which were very particular.

However, after the founding of the new China, these outdated customs were abandoned, so everyone became more casual again.

"Sanbuzhan? What is that?" Xiaoyao knew about vegetable salad, but she really didn't know about Sanbuzhan. After all, there was no such food in this world. Although Heath had made it, he didn't use it to entertain guests much. The taste of Sanbuzhan was only so-so. Its main selling point was the complicated preparation and the reputation of Sanbuzhan. Moreover, it was very time-consuming to make. Even though Heath had amazing arm strength now, he was not very willing to make Sanbuzhan.

"Try it and you'll see. This stuff doesn't look sticky, but it doesn't stick to the pan, plate, or chopsticks." Heath smiled. At this moment, he remembered a bartender he used to know who hated customers ordering "water-diluted whiskey." That stuff is basically whiskey diluted with water, but there are two ways to make it. One is very cheap, you just add water directly, while the other is very expensive. You need to add ice cubes, and then the bartender stirs it constantly and quickly. In the end, when the ice cubes melt, they can form a layer of ice flowers on the surface of the glass, which looks very nice, but it's expensive.

According to his bartender friend, the second way Mizukuri whiskey operates is to demand a higher price. After all, bartenders put in a lot of hard work, so it's normal for them to ask for a higher price, which is reasonable, convincing, and well-founded.

In Heath's opinion, Sanbuzhan (a type of stir-fry) is pretty much the same. You wouldn't say it tastes that good, but the price is definitely higher. Otherwise, Heath would feel that he's not doing justice to his hard work. He had already discussed the price with Qianli yesterday, and he definitely wouldn't lose money. Although Heath would lose some money by closing down today, Heath was planning to take a vacation anyway, so it didn't really matter to him.

Seeing Xiaoyao eagerly pick up her chopsticks, Heath smiled and went back to the kitchen to prepare the next dish.

Chapter 956 A proper meal always needs to be more substantial.

Heath was slicing ham, which he had cured himself. However, Heath wasn't very confident about the taste of his ham, since he had never tried curing ham before. Although curing ham wasn't too difficult these days, the problem was that Heath hadn't made much ham before. In his previous life, ham could be bought anywhere, from the famous Jinhua ham to the Xuanwei ham, which was only known in Yunnan Province, and even top-quality hams that were renowned overseas. So, Heath didn't need to spend time making it himself.

Moreover, in Heath's opinion, Jinhua ham and Xuanwei ham are two different types, each with its own merits. Even within the same brand, Jinhua ham, there are different grades, and the taste and texture of different grades of ham vary. High-grade ham is also very expensive, comparable to seafood.

Ham is quite hard to find in the Pokémon world, and Heath even doubted whether it existed at all until he downloaded the Psyduck Trading Company app. It was then that Heath learned that ham did exist in this world, albeit at a higher price. Heath still bought a ham, a ham from the ham capital of the Pokémon world, a place Heath had never heard of, probably a small town not mentioned in the anime. At that time, Heath also planned to make his own ham, and now it's ready to eat.

Heath sliced ​​a piece of ham, then smelled it. It had a salty and savory aroma, which Heath thought was edible, but he didn't know how it would taste. So he tried boiling a slice in water and tasting it. He couldn't help but frown. Although Heath's cooking skills were good, he was still somewhat lacking when it came to making ham. His ham was edible, but the taste wasn't particularly good. It didn't meet Heath's expectations. This kind of ham was fine for him to eat, but it was obviously not suitable for serving to guests. Heath silently took out the ham he had bought earlier.

The ham used to entertain guests naturally had to be of high quality. Heath wouldn't use it if the quality wasn't good. There was a problem with the ham that Heath cured himself, but it wasn't inedible. Heath just planned to keep it for himself, since it wasn't very well made. This made Heath feel a bit regretful. It seems that he still needs to seriously learn how to make ham, otherwise he doesn't know when he'll be able to eat that one leg.

Ham is very salty, and most people's impression of ham is that it is salty, with a unique aroma that other foods often don't have. So ham has its own unique characteristics. However, ham is generally used to make soup, to make the soup taste better. Of course, it can also be used as a main dish. What Heath is making now is a dish that requires the use of ham. This dish was very famous even in his previous life. It is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the origin of this dish is indeed somewhat legendary. Legend has it that it was invented by a group of beggars who collected leftover food from various places, mixed it together, and cooked it. They found that the taste was surprisingly good, and that's how Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was invented. Of course, the specific history is impossible to explore. Humans haven't invented a time machine yet, so we can't go to ancient times to see how Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was invented. However, the taste of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has been universally recognized.

Even in some early anime, food programs, or TV movies, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was often used as a winning dish, which shows the status of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the hearts of most people.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall requires many ingredients and a long cooking time, which is quite time-consuming. Fortunately, Heath has a pressure cooker from Diallucca. Otherwise, Heath himself wouldn't dare to serve Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to his guests. After all, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall usually needs to be booked in advance because it needs to be cooked for a long time. If you arrive on the spot and say you want to eat it, you'll have to wait a long time. So, restaurants that offer Buddha Jumps Over the Wall usually require advance booking. If you arrive on time, they can immediately serve it to your guests. Either the restaurant specializes in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and prepares a lot of it in advance, or it's a pre-made dish that's prepared in advance and can be heated up when a customer orders it.

Heath had Dialga's pressure cooker, so he didn't need to waste time and finished quickly. However, while making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Heath also made some other things. After all, although Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tastes good, it's not good to eat only Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so he made some other things to go with it.

That's spicy glutinous rice chicken.

Spicy chicken needs no introduction; it's a perennial favorite in the culinary world. There are many ways to make it, and the different side dishes can create a variety of unique flavors. Among these, glutinous rice cake spicy chicken is quite unique. The most distinctive feature of this type of spicy chicken is that it uses glutinous rice cake chili peppers.

The so-called Ciba chili is actually a kind of chili made from dried chilies through special processing, similar to chili oil, but with a unique taste. Ciba chili chicken is considered a very delicious food and has gained a lot of popularity.

After Heath finished preparing the spicy chicken with glutinous rice cakes, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup was also ready. Heath took both dishes out together, and when she went out, she found that Xiaoyao and Qianli had almost finished their salad. This was within Heath's expectations. Salad is a great choice as an appetizer. The sweet and sour salad dressing has an appetizing effect, and eating some vegetables will make your appetite a little better. However, you need to pay attention to the portion size, otherwise you might get full from eating vegetables.

Considering that it would only be Haruka and Mr. Senri eating this time, Heath made a small portion. Too much would be wasteful and would also make Senri and Haruka full before they could finish the rest of the food.

"This smells so good." Qianli swallowed hard as she looked at the slightly red spicy chicken in front of her. After eating the vegetable salad earlier, Qianli felt that she had a particularly good appetite, and the aroma of Heath's cooking had wafted out.

Chapter 957 Qianli is a good father

"This is spicy chicken with glutinous rice cakes. Although it's called spicy chicken, I made it not too spicy, so Xiaoyao can eat it too." Heath wiped his hands and smiled. Xiaoyao could naturally eat spicy chicken with glutinous rice cakes. After all, Heath considered the child's stomach, so he deliberately didn't make the food too spicy. This spicy chicken with glutinous rice cakes was only mildly spicy. In his previous life, unless someone really didn't want to touch any spice, most people could eat this spicy chicken with glutinous rice cakes. But when it came to not being able to touch any spice, Heath's expression became strange.

In his previous life, Heath had served many guests, and he found that some of them were really strange, to the point of being incomprehensible. Once, Heath encountered a young couple who came to eat. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, since couples are a very common type of customer. Sometimes, on Valentine's Day, couples would come and ask if he had any plans. But the reason that couple seemed strange to Heath was because of something else.

Heath remembered it clearly. The couple wanted to order a dry pot chicken, but since Heath's sauces were mostly spicy, even the mild ones had a little bit of spice, it was impossible to make it completely non-spicy. The girl said she couldn't eat spicy food, and even after Heath explained it to her, she stubbornly insisted that she couldn't eat spicy food, not even a little bit. The boy tried to persuade her, saying that they could just eat something else, but the girl insisted on having dry pot chicken and wouldn't have it otherwise. However, Heath's dry pot chicken was spicy, and she didn't want any spice, so she insisted that Heath make a non-spicy version. But at that time, Heath's dry pot chicken was always spicy, and without the sauce, it tasted much worse. Then the boy got angry, and the two had a big fight, leaving Heath completely confused.

It just goes to show that there are all kinds of people in this world. And from that day on, Heath researched non-spicy dry pot chicken sauce, and finally successfully solved the problem of some people who absolutely refused to eat spicy food, thus preventing such a thing from happening again.

"Thank you, Heath, you've thought of everything." Qianli smiled politely. Xiaoyao really didn't eat spicy food, but when she heard Heath's words, her eyes widened so much that it looked like they might pop out. She looked at Heath excitedly, eager to try it, but then her father, Qianli, pulled her back and made her sit obediently in the chair.

Heath didn't mind, and went back to the kitchen to cook a few stir-fries, get some vegetables, and then have a soup and a dessert. That would be about enough, since there were only two of them, Qianli and Xiaoyao. It wouldn't be good to make too much, as they wouldn't be able to finish it, and it would also be a bit excessive.

"Xiaoyao, what were you trying to do just now?" Qianli first scooped up a spoonful of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, then put it in the bowl and took a sip. She couldn't help but smack her lips. This strange food tasted particularly fragrant, to an astonishing degree. Qianli had actually eaten such a unique food before.

"Dad, I think I know what I want to do." Xiaoyao picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth. The slight spiciness came over her, but it couldn't mask the aroma of the spicy chicken. With the tender chicken meat, this spicy chicken was just right for Xiaoyao's taste.

"Oh? What do you want to do?" Qianli glanced at Xiaoyao and then asked subconsciously. He didn't take it too seriously. After all, Xiaoyao had been in a state of confusion before. Although she didn't say it herself, Qianli and his wife could tell that Xiaoyao's feelings were complicated. She seemed to not know what she should do in the future. Should she become a trainer? Or a breeder? Or even a coordinator?

None of these are impossible. Qianli is an open-minded parent. He has no objection to what his daughter wants to do, as long as it's not an illegal profession. Even if Xiaoyao wants to become a mediator, Qianli will help her register. Children should have their own interests and hobbies. It's a good thing for them to learn based on their interests because they are more likely to learn. If you force them to learn things they are not interested in, it will backfire. You can't force a cow to drink water.

However, Qianli was immediately taken aback. Xiaoyao had been pondering these questions for a long time, but she hadn't figured out what she wanted to do before. Now, after having a meal with Heath, she had already made up her mind. This made Qianli wonder if Xiaoyao was planning to become a chef? To learn from her idol, Heath? It didn't seem impossible. After all, Heath was a chef, a very good one, and Qianli knew that his daughter was a fan of Heath. They had many food magazines at home, and his wife had even cooked some dishes for him based on the recipes in those magazines.

"A chef?" Qianli asked tentatively. Xiaoyao's expression stiffened, then she glanced hesitantly at her father before nodding.

Seeing his beloved daughter nod, Qianli's feelings were very complicated. For a moment, he didn't even know what to say. After all, he had never thought that his daughter would want to be a chef, and that she had been influenced by Heath to make up her mind. Moreover, his beloved daughter had been brought here by him. Was this asking for trouble?

But as for the chef...

Qianli glanced at Xisi, then at Xiaoyao who was looking down and didn't dare to look at him, and touched his chin.

Becoming a chef doesn't seem like a bad idea. After all, no one expects their children to inherit their profession, although many people in the world do. Just like a banker's son becomes a banker, a politician's son becomes a politician, and a pianist's son becomes a pianist, it seems like a good thing for children to inherit the connections and resources their parents have built up. And in reality, it is indeed the case. After all, it's better to inherit one's legacy than to step into an unfamiliar field, thus making the family's life more stable.
