I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Upon hearing this, Ah Da silently took out a phone, tapped it twice, and then an AI-generated voice rang out.

I want to eat roasted pork knuckle.

Heath paused for a moment upon hearing this, then his lips twitched. He had made quite a few roasted pig trotters, but he hadn't really made roasted pig knuckles much before. After all, pig knuckles and pig trotters are different. Pig trotters are relatively small, so they are not difficult to make. But roasted pig knuckles are different. The knuckle is quite large, and if the knuckle includes the leg, then it is even more troublesome.

Fortunately, although Ada looked at Hiss strangely, it was still a reasonable Pokémon after all. It only asked for three pieces of roasted pork knuckle. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was still acceptable with Charizard's help. It has to be said that Charizard is really an essential Pokémon for chefs, or rather, Fire-type Pokémon are essential Pokémon for chefs, as many cooking methods cannot be separated from the help of fire.

"Thank you for your help, Heath." Professor Oak was very polite, and then he was holding his phone, doing something on the other end. Heath thought that Professor Oak might be asking about Professor Fuji.

"By the way, Professor Oak, would you like to try some jujube with red fruit?" Heath thought of something important.

Chapter 1004 The Future of Volcanic Persimmons

"Red Fruit with Jellyfish? Oh, you mean the specialty of Cinnabar Town? That's good. The local specialties are quite delicious, and they're good for your health too." Professor Oak paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded happily, indicating he was willing to have some. This made Heath much more relaxed. As long as Professor Oak was willing to eat, he could probably complete his city achievement quest in Cinnabar Town. It has to be said that the city achievement quest in Cinnabar Town was quite easy to complete, unlike other places, some of which were not so easy to complete. However, after careful consideration, Heath realized that it was quite difficult for him to complete the quest. If he waited a few years to come back to Cinnabar Town, it would be much harder then.

After all, the volcanic persimmons, a specialty of Crimson Town, will probably be gone by then, making it more difficult to complete the special city achievement quest for Crimson Town. Heath was aware of this, but considering the various reference plans provided by the Alliance, Heath felt that it might not be impossible to complete. After all, Heath knew that some residents of Crimson Town had applied to establish a new Crimson Town on another island, but it would be a Crimson Town without volcanoes. However, the name Crimson Town would still remain.

"Odd changes, even remains the same." Suddenly, an electronic voice rang out. Heath was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously turned around and saw Ah Da holding a phone and looking at him. The look in Ah Da's eyes seemed to have a deeper meaning now. This made Heath think of something unlikely: could Ah Da be a fellow time traveler?

"Ah-da, how many times have I told you not to press the buttons on your phone randomly?" Professor Oak said helplessly. When he bought this phone, it came with a Pokémon Language Communication System pre-installed, which contained some common languages. In the mathematics section, there were common academic terms such as odd changes, even remains the same, and signs depend on the quadrant, as well as differentiable means continuous. After Hiss tested it out, he realized that he had indeed misunderstood; Ah-da was not a transmigrator.

"Professor Oak, do you also know about the local specialty, the volcanic persimmon?" After resolving his doubts, Heath looked at Professor Oak and asked. After all, he remembered that Professor Oak had just mentioned that this local specialty was good for one's health. It seemed that Professor Oak might have some knowledge about the persimmons. This piqued Heath's curiosity. After all, Professor Oak was famous for being a very skilled Pokémon professor, but it seemed that Professor Oak knew more than just Pokémon; he also knew about vegetables and such.

"Of course, but the most fundamental reason is that the League asked me to cooperate with Dr. Fuji and research whether the volcanic persimmons here can be cultivated outside." Dr. Oak smiled, while Heath was helping Dr. Oak cook. Heath was making the braised chicken that Dr. Oak wanted to eat. As for the jellyfish salad with vermilion fruit, Heath wasn't in a hurry. After all, jellyfish salad with vermilion fruit could be made later. It was very quick and easy to make. Heath only needed to cook the jellyfish in advance.

"Then the result should be no, right? I looked up some information before, and volcanic persimmons are still a specialty of Crimson Lotus Town." Heath asked curiously. Heath knew a little about this matter. The Alliance had indeed considered transplanting volcanic persimmons outside, but it was never successful. After being transplanted outside, volcanic persimmons became ordinary persimmons and no longer had the unique flavor of Crimson Lotus Town.

"Well, Fuji and I did some research, and we found that the uniqueness of volcanic persimmons is closely related to geographical location and climate. It can be said that only that specific area can grow these persimmons. It's too difficult to perfectly replicate them in other places. After all, it's not easy to find a place near a volcano that also meets the climate requirements." Professor Oak also expressed his regret. Volcanic persimmons taste great and have nutritional value. Eating them can lower blood pressure and control blood sugar, making them a perfect food. But unfortunately, they were ultimately destroyed by the volcanic eruption and became a casualty of Cinnabar Town.

Heath pondered. If that was the case, then the volcanic persimmon needed to be preserved even more. However, Heath felt that the people in Crimson Lotus Town couldn't possibly be unaware of this issue. Moreover, Heath had inquired and learned that the volcanic persimmons belonged to the Crimson Lotus Town Regional Alliance. The Alliance might very well dig up these volcanic persimmons and transplant them to other places. After all, the profits brought by these volcanic persimmons were astonishing. Rather than letting the volcanic persimmons perish under the volcanic eruption, it would be better to take them away and see if there was an opportunity to continue to control these sources of wealth.

This is only natural. Even if you know that the hen that lays golden eggs may not be able to lay them if it goes to another place, it's still better than letting the hen die, right?

However, this makes it difficult for Heath to keep these volcanic persimmons. The League is unlikely to sell these persimmons to others, especially since they have already made plans to transplant them. In that case, Heath will not be able to get these volcanic persimmons. However, Heath has his own ideas. He has Kyogre's watering can. This thing can make plants grow quickly and also act as a nutrient solution.

In this way, Heath only needs to protect the cultivation area of ​​volcanic persimmons, and then he can try to plant volcanic persimmons in them himself to see if persimmon trees can grow. This is not a bad idea.

"Professor Oak, here's your braised chicken." Heath had already finished making the braised chicken. He needed to quickly prepare the pork knuckle and then call out Charizard so that it could use its fiery flames to roast the pork knuckle for Professor Oak. This would speed up the roasting process, and by leaving it to Charizard, Heath would have time to prepare the jellyfish salad with jujubes.

"Thank you, Heath." Professor Oak poked the chicken with his chopsticks, and it became a little loose. This made Professor Oak feel much better. He could eat this chicken himself. Although the soft chicken might not taste very good, at least he didn't have to worry about his teeth not being able to handle it or not being able to eat it.

However, after taking a bite, Professor Oak was surprised to find that the chicken tasted quite good and was very flavorful.

Chapter 1005 How to Make Pork Knuckle Delicious

Heath had no idea what Professor Oak was thinking. Right now, he was busy preparing pork knuckles. To be honest, Heath had never roasted pork knuckles before. After all, pork knuckles are mostly braised, and braised pork knuckles taste quite good. But Heath didn't know how roasted pork knuckles would taste. Originally, he planned to have Professor Oak roast these three pork knuckles. With Professor Oak around, Heath felt that roasting pork knuckles wouldn't be too troublesome. Besides, the pork knuckles were so big, and it wouldn't be easy to coat them with seasonings and let them absorb the flavors. So Heath simply decided to roast them first and then add seasonings later.

This way, you can eat the pork knuckle directly with the seasoning, or you can cut it up and dip it in the seasoning before eating. It's very convenient and simple, with no operational difficulties and is easy to make.

Heath had indeed considered this idea, but after thinking about it, he abandoned it. He had some other ideas, which came from the roasted pig's trotters he had eaten before.

Roasted pig's trotters are quite unique in the food street, and they're a bit more expensive than other snacks. They're generally divided into round and pointed ones. The pointed ones are the ones with the front hoof attached, and they have more bone, so a serving usually costs eleven or twelve yuan. The round ones are the ones on top of the pig's trotter, with less bone and more meat, but the bones are also larger, and a serving costs nine or ten yuan. But even though these pig's trotters don't have a lot of meat, why is the business so good? Naturally, it's because they taste good.

In his past life, Heath once saw a vendor selling roasted pig's trotters on a food street near a university. The vendor claimed to have been selling them for twenty-five years, and the business was incredibly booming, with long queues of people buying them. Often, people would buy over a hundred trotters at a time. At first, Heath was a little confused as to why there were so many people there, but after Heath bought a piece and tried it, he understood why there were so many people. These pig's trotters were truly irresistible.

Moreover, because there isn't much meat on a pig's trotter, one piece is not enough to fill you up. A normal adult male would probably need to eat about nine pig's trotters to feel full. And since they come in both pointed and round shapes, they can satisfy most people's taste buds as much as possible. So it's no wonder that the business of these roasted pig's trotters is booming.

After summarizing, Heath realized that the reason why these roasted pig trotters tasted so good was that they were all braised in advance. After the braised pig trotters were roasted, they were sprinkled with chili powder or something similar, and the taste would be very good. The key was the braising liquid. After realizing this, Heath knew how to make these roasted pig trotters this time. He planned to braise the pig trotters directly in Dialuka's pressure cooker first, and then give them to the fire-breathing dragon to roast.

Normally, braising pork knuckles is a very time-consuming task, but because Heath has Dialga's pressure cooker, it has become much simpler. At the very least, it saves a lot of time, greatly increasing Heath's speed in making braised pork knuckles. Otherwise, just braising three pork knuckles would take at least several hours. So, while preparing the braising liquid, Heath exclaimed that Dialga's kitchen utensils are really useful; they are simply a chef's magic tool.

Heath is very confident in his braised pork knuckles because he makes a good braising liquid, which he has been refining himself and has been braising for a long time. It can be said that Heath's braising liquid can fetch a high price if sold elsewhere.

"Roar!" Just after Heath put the pork knuckle in, he heard a muffled roar. Heath was stunned for a moment, almost throwing the pork knuckle out. He turned around and saw that it was Ah Da standing behind him. However, Ah Da was looking at him curiously, seemingly wondering why he had put the pork knuckle in. Heath helplessly pushed Ah Da's head outward. With this big guy's head in, his kitchen was no longer big enough.

The kitchen is already cramped enough with myself, Farfetch'd, and May standing in it. If Dragonite comes in, the crampedness will increase several levels, making it extremely difficult to even turn around.

"Ah Da, your pork knuckle isn't ready yet. I'll get it for you later, okay?" Heath said helplessly, looking at Ah Da's eager curiosity outside. Ah Da then walked away dejectedly, making Heath want to laugh. Ah Da's expression reminded Heath of the pets he used to have. When he didn't get food, they would have the same aggrieved expression, turning back every step of the way. They were truly the best actors among pets.

"Master, was that Dragonite called Ada?" May came over, her hands wet from the fact that Heath had asked her to pluck pig bristles. It was hard work, requiring patience and observation. Fortunately, May did a good job, removing much of the bristles. However, there were still some fine hairs that needed to be removed, but they weren't too difficult to clean. They could all be burned off when roasted over a fire, which wasn't a problem for Charizard.

"Hmm, those are Professor Oak's trained Pokémon. What's wrong?" Heath smiled. He remembered that May was Professor Birch's daughter in the game, but here she became Senri's daughter, which was quite unique. It just goes to show that there are some differences between the game world and the real world, such as the size of those Pokémon. You know, Onix is ​​a very large Pokémon, but you can't tell how large it is in the game.

"Professor Oak is amazing! He managed to raise such a powerful Pokémon as Dragonite. Professor Birch doesn't seem to train many Pokémon." May looked at the Dragonite beside Professor Oak with envy. She also longed for a Dragon-type Pokémon so it could carry her around and help her search for buried treasures...

Xiao Yao suddenly blushed a little. What was wrong with her? She had gone treasure hunting with her master before, and unexpectedly, she had started to like it. However, when she thought about the joy of treasure hunting, Xiao Yao was also a little confused. She felt that treasure hunting was indeed a very interesting and fun thing. The most important thing was that when she found the treasure, the feeling of excitement and joy in her heart was really fascinating to Xiao Yao.

Heath had no idea that his apprentice's mind was practically wandering to the treasure hunt; he was currently making jellyfish salad with vermilion fruit.

Chapter 1006 Treasure Map in the Reversed World

"Heath, I didn't expect you could even make the specialty of Crimson Town! That's truly amazing." Professor Oak was eating the Vermilion Fruit and jellyfish salad that Heath had made, praising it as he ate. He had tried Vermilion Fruit and jellyfish salad before; it tasted quite good, but it was rather troublesome to make. Professor Oak had previously asked Professor Fuji why he couldn't just cut up the Vermilion Fruit and mix it with the jellyfish, wouldn't that be easier? But after trying it once, he realized that only this method produced the best-tasting Vermilion Fruit and jellyfish salad; other methods were simply not as good, always falling short in flavor, and he didn't know why.

Dr. Fuji said that this might be the only way to fully blend the flavor of the volcanic persimmon with the jellyfish. However, the two Pokémon professors didn't think too much about it because, after all, for them, only studying Pokémon required their full effort. As for persimmon trees, they were not within the scope of their research. There were also specialized botanists in the Pokémon League.

"Practice makes perfect," Heath chuckled. His jellyfish salad with jujubes was indeed a matter of practice. He'd failed a few times before, but once he got serious, it became much easier. Stuffing it in was troublesome, but compared to more difficult dishes like Wensi Tofu, jujube salad with persimmons only tested patience and attention to detail. Although Heath exclaimed something like "Gaia!" after failing, the feeling of almost failing was something those who knew would understand; those who didn't could watch a video.

Meanwhile, Heath was looking at the reward he received after completing the city achievement mission—a somewhat special reward.

Heath held a treasure map in his hand, which was the reward for completing the city achievement mission in Red Lotus Town. Heath found it a bit strange, but he didn't say anything. After all, he had known for a while that his cheat system would always give out some strange rewards, so giving a treasure map didn't seem to be incomprehensible. However, what troubled Heath was this treasure map.

The treasure map indicates the location is on a small island east of Crimson Lotus Town. This isn't unusual, as Heath knows there are indeed many islands east of Crimson Lotus Town, including the famous Twin Islands. However, the problem is that the treasure map clearly states that the treasure can only be found on an island in the Inverted Dimension. This means that even if Heath went to that island in the real world, he wouldn't be able to find the treasure; he could only find it in the Inverted Dimension.

That's the Reverse World, where all Pokémon and humans grow in a backwards manner. Charizard will slowly regress into Charmander, the elderly will slowly become young, and finally become babies and reincarnate. You could say the Reverse World is a reflection of the real world, a more unique one. Heath has the tools to freely enter and exit the Reverse World, and even has eyes that can occasionally see its existence. However, Heath rarely sees the ghosts that linger in the human world, because what he can see are ghosts that remain in this world because they want to eat. These kinds of ghosts are a very rare type.

"The Reverse World... I've almost forgotten how long it's been since I last went. This time I could go, but what about Haruka and Zoroark?" Heath stroked his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to drive the food truck directly to the island in the real world first, then enter the Reverse World, quickly dig up the treasure, and finally return from the Reverse World. This way, it wouldn't be too wasteful of the world, and it could also be considered a trip to the island. He figured Zoroark and the others wouldn't have any objections, so it would be quite convenient.

But that's a matter for later. Heath put the treasure map away. He planned to ask about the Cinnabar Town cargo ships after Professor Oak left. If he wanted to take his food truck with him, a small cargo ship wouldn't be enough, so he would need a larger one. However, Heath didn't think it would be a big problem, since Cinnabar Town was full of people and many people needed to move, so there were quite a few cargo ships available.

"Professor Oak, speaking of which, how long until Ash goes on his journey?" Heath asked, thinking of Ash whom he hadn't seen in a long time. After all, Heath cared a lot about Ash; he couldn't not care, after all, Ash was the protagonist of this world. Moreover, Heath suspected that once Ash started his journey, the timeline of this world would be fixed in the year he began his journey, just like when Detective Shinichi Kudo became Conan, the timeline of their world became completely chaotic.

So Hiss suspects that Ash is the same way, otherwise there's no reason why Ash would still be the same age after traveling to so many regions and experiencing so many things.

"There are... there are only three months left." Professor Oak did the math. He was quite concerned about Ash, after all, he and Ash's father were friends, so he knew a bit about his friend's son. Moreover, Ash was a passionate Pokémon fan, just like his father.

"Three months? That's so fast... But speaking of which, I met Ash's father before." Heath was a little dazed. Before she knew it, Ash was about to embark on his journey. Heath really didn't know what the situation would be like after Ash set off on his journey, or what the future would hold.

"Huh? You've met Ash's father?" Professor Oak was a little surprised. He had been in contact with this old friend of his via mobile phone, since the other party seemed to be busy with something important and rarely had time to meet. He never expected that Heath would run into him.

"Hmm, his name is Yaping, right?" Hiss also had a good impression of Ash's father. The man looked almost exactly like Ash. Hiss could even guess what Ash would look like when he grew up just by looking at Yaping. The resemblance between father and son was unmatched.

"Looks like you really did run into Yaping. That guy's always out and about, he rarely even goes back to Pallet Town." Professor Oak knew right away that Heath had indeed run into Ash's father, which made Professor Oak say a few words. If Yaping weren't so often away from home, he would have said a few things to him.

Chapter 1007 Tears of the Kingdom

"Professor Oak, speaking of which, what's your relationship with Ash's father like?" Heath was a little curious. He remembered that when he watched the anime in his previous life, he was very curious about the relationship between Professor Oak and Ash. In fact, people had even speculated that Professor Oak was Ash's father. Of course, it turned out that Professor Oak was not Ash's father. However, it seemed that Professor Oak and Ash's father were quite familiar with each other. So Heath was a little curious about the relationship between Professor Oak and Ash's father.

"Well, I guess you could say Ape and I are friends despite our age difference? Back when I became a Pokémon... cough cough, anyway, a great trainer, Ape knew me. He used to pester me all the time, trying to beat me." Professor Oak said nostalgically, but then he coughed twice, deliberately interrupting himself. However, Hiss's expression turned strange. Professor Oak, you really were a Pokémon Champion, weren't you? After all, Hiss remembered that Professor Oak's level was quite high, even higher than Lance's in the first playthrough, so having Champion-level strength didn't seem unreasonable.

However, Heath really hadn't expected that the seemingly ordinary Ape had once been so immature, constantly thinking about defeating Professor Oak. And from Professor Oak's account, Heath could confirm one thing: the relationship between Professor Oak and Ape was quite unique. They became friends after a fight. Later, Ash's father achieved Elite Four level strength, but after having Ash with Hanako, he began to develop an interest in certain things...

"...Then Yaping, after seeing some of our archaeological discoveries, became interested in that era." Professor Oak clicked his tongue. At that moment, Heath was taking out a braised pork knuckle for Charizard to roast. Although it was roasting, Heath was also listening to the story. Even Farfetch'd and May were listening attentively. Charizard, on the other hand, didn't care. It was only interested in becoming stronger, and it didn't want to hear anything that had nothing to do with becoming stronger.

"Which era? Could it be the Kingdom era?" Heath thought of something.

After arriving in this world, what Heath knew most about it wasn't Pokémon, but the history of this world. Yes, this world was the era of the Pokémon League. The existence of the Pokémon League and Officer Nurse Joy maintained the normal development of this world, which was no different from the games and anime in her previous life. However, the problem was that Heath also learned some things about ancient times from books. Before the establishment of the League, the Pokémon world was ruled by kingdoms and empires.

It was an era with nobles, dukes, and royalty. Back then, Pokémon weren't something everyone could own. Commoners had virtually no chance of having their own Pokémon. Moreover, in that era, Pokémon were called "magical beasts," and commoners were terrified of these magical creatures with their mysterious powers. However, later, with the emergence of capitalism, a huge conflict arose between the new and old aristocratic forces. Then, a great upheaval that swept across the entire Pokémon world began. It was from that time that the League gradually gained a foothold, sweeping away all the other forces and establishing the League we know today.

This is something publicly recorded in history books.

"Hmm, it seems Yapin discovered something back then, and then started his world tour. I asked him what happened, but he didn't say anything. Finally, when I had no choice, he answered me with four words—'Tears of the Kingdom.'" Professor Oak said with a serious expression, while Heath's expression turned strange. Tears of the Kingdom? What is that? Although Heath knew that the Kanto region was ruled by a kingdom called Morro during that era, the Morro Kingdom had long been lost to history.

However, the royal family of the Kingdom of Moro has survived. They now own two castles. One is rented out to the Alliance to run a hotel, while the other castle has been kept by them, allowing them to live a peaceful life. However, there are rumors in the Kanto Alliance that the Dragon Royal Family is actually the royal family of the Kingdom of Moro. If this is true, then Adu would be a prince.

"I wonder how his search is going. To be honest, I regret taking him to that excavation site. Otherwise, Ash wouldn't only be able to see his father a few days a year." Professor Oak sighed. Meanwhile, Hiss had finished preparing the pork knuckle and had Zoroark take it to Ash.

Heath was somewhat amused and exasperated. According to Professor Oak, this Mr. Yapin was truly unique, and Heath wondered what he knew that had suddenly sparked his interest in archaeology. However, Heath remembered that his girlfriend, Cynthia, was also very interested in archaeology, but thankfully, she wasn't that obsessed. The thought of Cynthia running around the world like Yapin after they got married and had children made Heath feel even more sorry for Hanako. After all, they would get married and have children, only to find that the father of her children was someone who was always on the go and never home.

However, Hiss was immediately taken aback because he thought of a problem: Ash's mother, Hanako, didn't seem to have any objection to her husband's frequent outings. Could it be that Hanako already knew what her husband was doing from him, which was why she was acting this way?

This made Hiss even more curious about what Yapin was doing. Otherwise, why would he have made Hanako wait for him for so long? But Hiss didn't know what Kingdom Tears meant. Could it be a Pokémon unique to the Kingdom era? Hiss thought that was possible, since the Kanto League used to be a region ruled by the Kingdom before the Pokémon League was created.

"Who knows if Ash and Yapi will meet in the future? I'm looking forward to it, but that guy has been getting busier and busier lately. I wonder what he's been up to..." Professor Oak sighed. Before, Yapi would go back home for three or four months a year, but now he only goes back for three or four days a year. It's completely baffling what Yapi is up to.

"I hope so." Heath smiled awkwardly. He knew that Ash had almost never met his father. It was as if Ash's father would never appear. But it didn't matter. Anyway, Heath knew who Ash's father was and that he was doing well. So they were destined to meet in the future. And given Ash's love for Pokémon, his father probably wouldn't even have a chance to be involved.

Chapter 1008 The Unexpected Guest

Professor Oak left, taking Ash with him, his mouth greasy from eating. He seemed a little tipsy as he left. The reason? Hiss had poured Professor Oak a glass of Nightmare Liquor. Hiss had only intended to promote his drink, but Professor Oak had unexpectedly taken a liking to it, drinking the whole bottle and even taking a whole case of Nightmare Liquor – a very generous gesture that left Hiss somewhat amused and exasperated. Hopefully, Ash won't find Professor Oak drunk when he visits in the future; otherwise, it might be a case of his childhood idol image crumbling, since Professor Oak is usually known for his wisdom.

Now, things have turned out quite badly; Professor Oak is completely drunk. However, Heath thinks it's unlikely. After all, he's Professor Oak, an exceptionally intelligent person. He would definitely know when to drink, and Nightmare Wine doesn't have any negative effects on the body. Otherwise, Heath wouldn't dare to sell it to Professor Oak so casually. Elderly people need to be very careful when drinking, and if something happens, it would be very difficult to escape blame.

“Since Professor Oak is gone…” Heath stroked his chin, pondering whether to go to the dock now and ask if there was a cargo ship like the one he needed that could take him to that island. Heath had considered not taking the dining car at all, but thinking about the lounge in the dining car, he abandoned the idea. People who have trouble sleeping know that sometimes they are not used to sleeping in their own beds, and it would be a little uncomfortable if they didn't sleep in their own beds. If he took the dining car, at least he could rest in the dining car, so he chose the cargo ship.

Of course, it wouldn't be a very large cargo ship; it just needed to be big enough for his food truck to drive on. Heath had considered using the Anywhere Door, but considering its long cooldown time, he gave up on the idea. He'd save the Anywhere Door for when he found the treasure on that island and then use it to travel to other cities.

However, just as Heath was pondering this, Zoroark rubbed her eyes because she discovered that there was actually a girl sitting on the dining car, which should theoretically be empty. The girl had long pink hair and was sitting in a chair, curiously looking at the menu on the table. She was also crossing her legs and shaking her leg while looking at the menu. Zoroark couldn't help but rub her eyes when she saw this. She wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes, but when she opened her eyes again, the girl was still sitting there.

This is strange. Zoroark knew that the door of the food cart was connected to a wind chime, so if someone came in, the wind chime would definitely ring. However, the wind chime did not ring after Professor Oak came in, and it only rang once after Professor Oak left. Zoroark felt that his ears were very sharp, so it was impossible that he could not hear the sound of the wind chime.

So where did this woman come from?

"Hello, can I order something to eat now?" The girl's voice was very pleasant, and Zoroark nodded subconsciously. The food truck was still open, so naturally she could order food. However, she immediately realized that her previous question had not been answered: Where did this woman come from? Zoroark didn't understand, but she subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with this.

"Hmm?" Heath heard the woman's voice at this moment. He subconsciously looked up and wondered when the guest had come in. How come he didn't know? However, Heath didn't pay too much attention to it. He had been thinking about something and it was indeed possible that he hadn't heard the wind chimes. Sometimes, when people are too focused, they can easily overlook things. Heath just thought that he might have overlooked how the other person came in.

At this moment, the girl told Zoroark what she wanted to eat. Zoroark scratched her head, clearly finding the question a bit strange, but she still ran over to ask Heath.

"Huh? You mean that guest wants to drink Nightmare Wine, and also wants to eat delicious mashed potatoes and pork jerky?" Heath was also a little shocked. It didn't seem like they came to eat, but rather to drink and eat snacks to pass the time.

Drinking Nightmare Wine wasn't incomprehensible, nor was mashed potatoes unacceptable; after all, mashed potatoes are quite popular in some countries, and Heath himself did enjoy them. Some mashed potatoes had a very unique flavor that lingered in the memory. But the question was, what was with this pork jerky? Heath even double-checked to confirm that the customer actually wanted the kind of pork jerky displayed in snack shops.

So-called pork jerky is actually a processed pork product, made into a very thin shape. It tastes pretty good and was a very famous snack in my previous life. The only downside is that it's relatively expensive. It's a perfect snack, and you can finish it without even realizing it. It's quite addictive. Pork jerky also exists in the Pokémon world, but because pigs are specially raised in the Pokémon world, the price is higher than in my previous life. When Heath heard that there was even special Pokémon jerky, he was greatly shocked.

However, Heath didn't actually have any pork jerky on hand, but making some on the spot wasn't out of the question. After all, pork jerky is very easy to make. If you have the right tools, it's quite simple, but if you don't, it can be a bit troublesome. Of course, this doesn't contradict Heath's opinion that it's easy to make, since it really is easy.

No special processing is needed. Just remove the moisture from the pork jerky and compress it. At most, you can marinate it to let it absorb the flavor in advance. After that, there's not much else to do, so it's indeed very quick to make.

"By the way, Trainer, that guest... I don't know when she came in; I didn't hear the wind chimes the whole time." Zoroark reminded Heath, who paused for a moment, then glanced at the guest who was smiling and holding her phone. Didn't she hear the wind chimes? But Zoroark could see her, so she shouldn't be a ghost or anything like that...

"Never mind, just treat them normally, and remember to collect the money." Heath was very calm. Even if it was a ghost, he could still treat it. Of course, he still had to collect the money. Although he was very relaxed now, he couldn't not collect the money.

Chapter 1009 Cresselia

Heath started making mashed potatoes. He glanced at the girl's taste preferences above her head and knew what kind of mashed potatoes to make: spicy mashed potatoes. After all, this girl's requirements for mashed potatoes were spicy and savory, so Heath decided to do it that way. However, spicy was easy to make; Heath had made quite a few spicy dishes. The problem was that the savory flavor was giving Heath a headache. This was mashed potatoes, not something else. You could use seasonings to make it spicy, but making it savory was really asking too much.
