In an instant, Heath thought of someone: Shiba, one of the Indigo League Elite Four, a formidable figure who could communicate with Machamp through physical means, and a master of fighting techniques. If it were simply a matter of trainers battling each other, Shiba would probably have champion-level strength.
Although Heath was very interested in learning martial arts, he decided against Mr. Ma Zhide's suggestion because he was still a chef and his main job was important.
After all, according to Mr. Ma Zhide, if you want to learn martial arts, you have to concentrate on training with your master for several years.
"Grandpa Ma Zhide, this is vegetable and lean meat porridge, which is very suitable for patients. Please let the fire-breathing dragon drink it slowly." Heath handed the cooked vegetable and lean meat porridge to Ma Zhide and gave him a reminder.
Ma Zhide accepted the bowl with a smile, paid for it, and then left with his porridge.
Heath watched Ma Zhide's retreating figure, sincerely hoping that Charizard's body could recover. To enhance the nutrition of the porridge, he added an egg, which would also make it taste better.
"If only I could learn some fighting techniques..." But thinking about the nature of his cheat ability, Heath shook his head.
Last time, I was given a book on tracking techniques, but I still had to learn it on my own. Now, Heath feels like he's back in his senior year of high school. When he's not busy with business, he has to find time to learn how to drive and track.
Heath glanced at the Three-Day Sword in his cabinet. Although he had obtained it some time ago, he had never used it.
Hiss thought this thing was probably just a collectible item; after all, he couldn't possibly be using the Three-Day Blade to perform a Dragon Rising in the Pokémon world, could he? That was highly unlikely.
However, as the morning rush hour approached, Heath became busy, with one customer after another arriving at his food cart. Some customers would order a large bowl of crispy beef noodles, while others would choose a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).
However, more customers were ordering the large crispy beef noodles. Heath thought it might be because of the tables and chairs; with tables and chairs, customers could at least sit down and eat.
As for the braised beef noodles, you have to sit down to eat them; you can't eat them standing up.
Farfetch'd stood nimbly beside Heath, helping out. Although Farfetch'd couldn't make braised beef noodles, he could easily make jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes). With Farfetch'd's help, Heath wasn't so busy anymore, and he was able to serve guests much faster.
"Hehe, little money~" Heath smiled happily as he looked at one customer after another.
Chapter 67 Old Wind
Heath summarized his four years of time travel and concluded that the busiest and best times for him to do business in Evergreen City were the morning rush hour and lunchtime. Although dinnertime was also good, Heath had to go back to take care of Officer Jenny in the evening, so he did not operate his business at night.
After the morning rush hour, Heath had a lot more free time. Most of the people passing by were in a hurry, and Heath even saw some girls running quickly while eating cookies.
I guess I'm going to be late for work.
"Awoo~" Heath was stunned when he heard the sound. He leaned out of the food cart and saw a Growlithe less than two meters long sticking out its tongue and grinning at him.
This Arcanine is a bit different from the usual Arcanine. It looks a bit older and is wearing a green vest with the words "Pokémon Post Office" printed on it. Heath was delighted to see it; it was an old acquaintance.
"Old Feng, you're here to buy food again?" Heath smiled at the Arcanine in front of him. Arcanine smiled happily, just like the smiling Shiba Inu in his previous life.
Heath wasn't surprised. He took a chicken leg from his cupboard, made a few cuts on it, added cooking wine and other marinade, kneaded it to help it absorb the flavors, then coated it with breadcrumbs and put it in the oil to fry.
While Heath fried chicken legs, Growlithe obediently squatted outside Heath's food cart, occasionally glancing warily at the pedestrians around him. When he encountered pedestrians carrying large bags and suitcases, he even had an urge to go up and sniff them.
Heath's expression remained calm regarding Growlithe's behavior. He and Growlithe had known each other for over two years, and now they had developed a tacit understanding. As soon as Heath saw Growlithe, he knew what it wanted to eat.
Heath put the fried chicken leg aside, then fried a plate of vegetables and egg fried rice, put the chicken leg on top, and took it out along with the disposable plastic box to Arcanine.
"Awoo~" Arcanine laughed happily. Heath gave him a lot, after all, Arcanine's size is what it is.
Arcanine rubbed against Heath, making Heath both amused and exasperated. He felt like he was hugging a giant plush toy. However, Arcanine was very clean and didn't have the typical stench of a large dog.
"Okay, okay, I'll take the money myself." Heath looked at the small bag hanging around Growlithe's neck, then opened the bag, counted the money inside, put it away, and then closed the small bag back up.
"Isn't this big guy in the dorm? Huh? Why doesn't he recognize me?" Zoroah jumped up from the chair, looking at the Arcanine in front of him with curiosity.
Arcanine, panting, looked at Zoroah and gave him a friendly swish of its tail.
"This isn't Sister Feng's Arcanine, it's Old Feng, our retired old buddy from Evergreen City." Heath chuckled and patted Arcanine's head, and Arcanine squinted its eyes in enjoyment.
Seeing that Hiss had withdrawn his hand, Arcanine couldn't wait to move forward a little, then lowered its head and got closer to Hiss. Hiss, both amused and exasperated, continued to rub Arcanine's head.
This might be a common trait among dogs. Although Arcanine is a Pokémon, it behaves much like an ordinary dog in this respect, also enjoying being petted on the head by affectionate people.
"Retire? Do I still have to work after retirement? That must be so tiring." Zoroia lay on the table, looking at Arcanine in front of her. She didn't quite understand what this meant, but Arcanine seemed to be having a hard time.
"Old Wind asked to find a job, so the current head of the police department, Officer Jenny, found him a job as a postman at the post office." Heath rubbed Arcanine's head again. It has to be said that Arcanine's head felt very comfortable to rub, like a large plush toy.
After playing with Heath for a while, the Arcanine happily picked up its lunchbox and left. It would have to go back to the post office later to see if there was anything it needed to deliver.
Heath smiled as he watched Arcanine's departing figure. Arcanine was a five-star mail carrier in Evergreen City, never late or delayed in delivering mail, and his strength was also quite good. Occasionally, he would even take on his old job on the streets, and he had actually caught a few petty thieves and criminals.
Well, compared to the crimes of trafficking Pokémon and kidnapping scientists that are commonplace in other cities, petty theft in Evergreen City is considered a very serious crime. That's why the chemical plant explosion last time attracted so much attention.
Heath even heard some customers who came to buy breakfast talk about this, and some of them even suspected that Team Rocket wanted to set up their own secret base in Evergreen City, so they launched this event to announce their arrival.
When Heath heard this, he almost burst out laughing. "Do you think Mr. Sakaki would agree to this?"
Thinking of Giovanni, Heath couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Viridian City Gym. Surely Mr. Giovanni should be teaching and guiding people by now, since it was already time for the gym to open.
……
"Satie? What brings you here again?" Giovanni sat in a chair in his living room, looking at Satie in a daze. Didn't he remember telling Satie to go back and take care of the gym?
"I have something to report." Sabrina looked at Giovanni expressionlessly, then took a document out of her pocket.
Seeing that it was something important, Sakaki immediately became serious. He put down his breakfast and looked at Sabrina seriously, while stroking the head of the cat with his left hand.
However, Sabrina's gaze became strange, but she still dutifully reported her work, only occasionally stealing a glance at Sakaki.
There was a red mark on the corner of Giovanni's mouth, which was probably ketchup, but Giovanni didn't notice it.
After reporting his work, Sakaki explained the upcoming work arrangements to Naza and then waved for her to go back.
However, Sabrina didn't rush back. Instead, she walked up to Giovanni. Giovanni looked at her in confusion, already holding his breakfast and about to continue eating.
Just as Sakaki was about to say something, he suddenly felt as if something was grabbing his stomach, and a pain shot through him.
"Hiss... Sabrina, what are you doing?" Sakaki didn't even need to guess to know who did it.
Sabrina looked at Sakaki with a puzzled expression. Wasn't this the way to capture a man's heart?
Chapter 68 Winning a Man's Heart Through His Stomach (Physics)
Naza once asked Heath how to make Giovanni happy, and Heath's reply was, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
At first, Sabrina thought that this sentence meant that she should cook to win over Giovanni's stomach, but Giovanni didn't seem to have much of a reaction to Sabrina's cooking. So after returning to Goldenrod City, Sabrina began to wonder if she had misunderstood something.
Later, on a stormy night, Naz realized that she had misunderstood Heath's words. Heath's "grab" must have referred to a physical grasp.
So Sabrina used the excuse of reporting to come to Giovanni once again, and then used her superpower to grab Giovanni's stomach. It has to be said that it felt pretty good, and Sabrina couldn't help but rub it a couple more times.
"Hiss..." This is going to be the death of Giovanni. If he didn't know his subordinate's personality, Giovanni would have suspected that Sabrina had betrayed him.
"Naza!" Giovanni glared at Naza seriously. Naza was startled, then quickly released her psychic powers and looked at Giovanni calmly.
"What are you doing? Don't you know this is dangerous?" Sakaki clutched his stomach, though he wouldn't admit that the main reason was the intense pain, excruciating pain.
Naza blinked. Could this be how one captures a man's heart? Or is it about capturing him on a physical level?
Thinking about this, Sabrina's superpowers began to stir, but Giovanni quickly noticed Sabrina's intentions. He stopped her dangerous behavior and then asked her why she was doing this.
But Sabrina didn't answer. She just said she wanted to try out how to win a man's heart through his stomach. Sakaki was shocked. He quickly explained that "winning a man's heart through his stomach" was not a physical action.
After making sure that Natsumi wouldn't make the same mistake again, he used his position as the leader of Team Rocket to order her to return to Goldenrod City.
Watching Sabrina's departing figure, Sakaki couldn't help but rub his stomach.
"What's wrong with Sabrina? Did someone say something to her?" Giovanni's expression wasn't good. Considering Sabrina's sudden cooking for him last time, Giovanni was even more confused.
……
"Ah... Achoo! Who's talking about me behind my back again?" Heath rubbed his nose. Evergreen City was a bit chilly today. It was cloudless in the morning, but now it was all cloudy. The sudden change in temperature made Heath put on an extra layer of clothing.
However, as long as it doesn't rain, it's fine. Heath had prepared large umbrellas to prevent the tables and chairs from getting wet.
Meanwhile, Zorro had retreated into the small rest area of the dining car, where Heath had some spare clothes. As for Farfetch'd, he stood quietly beside Heath, diligently practicing his knife skills.
Seeing Farfetch'd's expectant eyes, Heath sighed. It seemed he couldn't escape the Three-No-Stick technique after all. But since there was no one else around, Heath decided to show Farfetch'd how to make Three-No-Stick.
Just as Heath was about to pick up the eggs and flour, he saw Naz suddenly appear in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Um... Miss Nazja, is there anything I can help you with?" Heath looked at Nazja strangely. He remembered that Nazja had gone back to Golden City. Why was she back here again?
"...Why did Mr. Sakaki seem unhappy even though I won him over with his stomach today?" Sabrina asked Heath calmly.
Heath looked at Naz with confusion. It seemed that Naz's cooking skills were quite good. However, he did not expect Mr. Sakaki's requirements to be so high. This made Heath fall into deep thought as he thought about how to encourage Naz.
“Miss Naz, Mr. Sakaki is probably a very sensitive person, so if you cook him some noodles when he’s unhappy, maybe he’ll understand your feelings.” Heath thought of a movie she had seen before.
Stephen Chow's "Forbidden City Cop" featured a gentle and virtuous wife who was the dream girl of countless men back then, a national sweetheart.
That wife who wanted to argue after getting angry, but managed to control her emotions and said, "I'll make you some noodles," is simply amazing—a perfect wife!
Sabrina's eyes lit up. She then tossed down two 100-Union Coins and disappeared from Heath's sight. Heath happily pocketed them.
It seems Miss Sabrina has a good understanding; Heath seems to have discovered another way to make money, just like Ms. Lori's Gengar.
"With just one word, Nazja gave me two hundred Alliance Coins. Getting rich is just around the corner!" Heath chuckled as she counted the money. Once she got her driver's license, Heath would be able to embark on her own journey.
Heath glanced at his phone. There was still a little while before lunchtime. He decided that after finishing entertaining his lunchtime guests, he would go to the Pokémon Center to visit his third Pokémon, Charmander, hoping that the little guy would recover soon.
"Farfetch'd~" Heath was just about to take a break when he saw Farfetch'd's resentful look. Heath felt a chill run down his spine and stood up awkwardly.
"Alright, alright, wait here, I'll make you Sanbuzhan." Heath picked up the egg with a worried look and began to demonstrate how to make Sanbuzhan to Farfetch'd.
"Look, it's like this..." Heath tossed the pan in frustration, constantly flipping the Sanbuzhan (a type of non-stick pancake) inside. Only in this way could the Sanbuzhan be perfectly round and not look like a suspicious lump of substance.
After making a proper "three-no-stick" dish, in addition to meeting the conditions for non-sticking, it also needs to look good. In the pan, it should look like egg liquid, and when poured out, it should look like pudding.
Only when it's like this, with no sticking, can it be considered to have an outstanding appearance. However, when making it at home, there's no need to be so particular. As long as it meets the "no sticking" requirement, that's enough. The taste is actually just so-so, not particularly delicious, but it's quite interesting.
Heath thought some Chinese dishes were quite fun. Rather than focusing on the taste, it was more about appreciating the chef's skill, such as Wensi Tofu and Sanbuzhan (a type of Chinese dish).
After making a batch of Sanbuzhan (a type of non-sticky pasta dish), Heath poured it out and rubbed his arms. Heath had spent half an hour making this Sanbuzhan, and his hands were trembling a little.
"Onion..." Big Green Onion Duck looked thoughtfully at the Sanbuzhan (a type of stir-fry dish) in front of him, then picked up his chopsticks, tore off a bit, and stuffed it into his mouth with a deep thought on his face.
Heath ignored the pensive Green Onion Duck; he had already noticed that guests had arrived for lunch. Upon closer inspection, it was lunchtime. Ignoring his slightly trembling hands, Heath smiled and began to serve the lunchtime guests.
"Welcome, welcome! Would you like something to eat?" Heath asked with a smile.
Chapter 69 The New Mission Brought by Officer Jenny
"Heath, I have a task for you. Would you be interested in completing it?" It was Sister Feng. Heath looked at Jun Shafeng in surprise. Jun Shafeng usually didn't come to her stall during the day. Why was she here today?
"What task? Just tell me, Sister Feng." Heath nodded without hesitation, curious about what Sister Feng wanted him to do.
"Didn't you cook a meal for the prisoners at Changqing City Prison last time? The warden's feedback was quite good." Officer Jenny rubbed her back, then glanced around at the people and things in her surroundings—a common habit of hers.
