I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

Convenient, portable, and delicious, it can also replenish these spare items. Heath paused for a moment, then remembered some snacks he had eaten in his previous life. Among all kinds of casual snacks, potato chips can be said to be a long-standing main snack. However, although potato chips are very delicious, they also exist in the world of Pokémon. Heath does not have an assembly line, and it is more troublesome to make potato chips separately.

In the end, Heath focused on chicken. Heath thought fried chicken nuggets were a great snack. Old Lady Salvation kindly gave Heath a prime location where there were many people shopping. Heath thought that launching something that people could eat while shopping would be a good choice.

With that in mind, Heath bought more chicken and some other necessary ingredients. Now he just had to wait to go to his stall and figure out how to make fried chicken, something simple yet somewhat difficult.

Chapter 150 Osomatsu was once a trainer

After driving his food truck to the location designated by Old Lady Jenny to set up his stall, Heath began preparing the things he might need to make that day. The chicken needed to be cut into small pieces and marinated, the braised chicken also needed to be prepared in advance, and the milk tea also needed to be prepared and started to be brewed. These were all time-consuming things.

Advance preparation can reduce Heath's workload, but there is still a lot to do.

"Huh? When did a food truck open here?" A strange voice called out. Heath looked up and saw an elderly man standing in front of him, looking at him with curiosity.

"Grandpa, this is also a breakfast place. What would you like to eat?" Heath smiled at the old man in front of him. The old man's gray hair proved that he was very old. However, what puzzled Heath was that the old man looked a little strange.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the old man's clothes, but rather that his left hand was always slightly raised for some reason. Heath thought that the old man might have some kind of age-related illness. After all, as people get older, their immune system weakens, making them more susceptible to strange and unusual diseases.

Especially in the world of Pokémon, some strange illnesses have appeared because of the existence of Pokémon.

"Good morning... Then please give me one of these Jianbing Guozi." The old man glanced at the small blackboard that Heath had hung outside, hesitated for a moment, and then ordered a Jianbing Guozi. Heath nodded, and then bent down to prepare what the old man wanted to eat.

Heath, of course, didn't abandon Jianbing Guozi either. Before preparing other breakfast options, Jianbing Guozi remained Heath's preferred choice, since he hadn't yet purchased enough ingredients for other dishes like Baozi, Xiaolongbao, and Guantangbao.

After quickly finishing making the jianbing guozi, Heath poured some chili sauce on top, hesitated for a moment, and then poured on some jam. This old man had a rather peculiar palate.

He liked sweet and spicy food, but had no dislikes. This was the first time Heath had ever met a customer like this, but Heath still liked customers who weren't picky eaters.

After handing the finished Jianbing Guozi to the old man, Heath received the money from him. But just as the old man turned his head away, Heath was stunned for a moment, because as the old man turned away, the two flavor cards that had grown on his head seemed to have changed.

His favorite flavor changed from sweet and spicy to sour, while his disliked flavor changed to spicy. This left Heath somewhat bewildered. Could people's tastes really change?

However, watching the old man's departing figure, Heath couldn't say anything. After all, he wasn't very familiar with the old man, and some guests didn't like it when he took the initiative to chat.

"Can this taste be changed?" Heath blinked. This was the first time he had encountered something like this. He had never met any of the guests he had entertained before who could change their tastes so easily.

Although he was puzzled, Heath didn't think too much about it. He would study it slowly when he needed the old man for his stall in the future. For now, Heath planned to finish his own preparations first.

By the time Heath finished, the sky over the Quartz Federation had already brightened. Summer days always come early; in winter, it would still be dark. As dawn broke, Heath saw an acquaintance.

He wasn't exactly an acquaintance, but he was the guest Heath had entertained the day before—the first man to eat Heath's braised chicken. The man was still yawning, wearing a plaid shirt, and with the name tag hanging around his neck, Heath already knew what this gentleman did for a living.

Heath thought calling him a programmer would be more appropriate, but when he looked at the map yesterday, he realized that there was indeed an internet company near his food truck, so he guessed that the programmer was an employee there.

"Boss... yawn... What's good to eat today?" The man walked up to Heath and yawned again. He looked at Heath with sleepy eyes, and the dark circles under his eyes were enough to make him look like a panda.

"Currently, we can only offer jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) and milk tea. Braised chicken rice will take a while, but beef noodles are available." Heath quickly answered the man's question. As for fried chicken nuggets, Heath didn't think the man in front of him would want to eat them.

"Is there any porridge?" The man named Asong paused for a moment before asking, as if trying to open his eyes was already a great physical and mental strain.

“No, but if you’d like, I can prepare it tomorrow.” Heath shook his head. Porridge is not easy to prepare; making a good bowl of porridge takes at least several hours. If he were to make it now, this Ah Song would probably have to wait until noon.

"Ah... then please give me one... one of these jianbing guozi and milk tea, thank you." Asong rubbed his eyes, then took out his wallet, pulled out a banknote, and handed it to Heath. However, to Heath's strange expression, Asong also handed over his trainer card.

Heath had excellent eyesight; he could see that the card depicted a spirited young man with a cheerful smile, and that the card also showed three badges. However, the spirited young trainer and the current office worker were completely different people.

"Here's your Trainer Card, sir." Heath returned the Trainer Card to Asong. This Trainer Card should have expired. Trainer Cards need to be verified every six months. If they are not verified every six months, they will be automatically deactivated, and if they are not verified every year, they will be automatically canceled.

However, this Asong did not take the card back for recycling. You should know that it costs 100 League Coins to apply for a Trainer Card, and recycling it would have allowed him to get that money back.

It seems that this Ah Song has a past full of stories.

"I'm so sorry, I've been working overtime since yesterday afternoon and I'm exhausted." A-Song apologetically took his trainer card, then swayed as he sat down at the table and chair, and soon fell asleep.

Heath silently watched Asong sleeping, his expression somewhat strange. He wondered if he should go up and remind the guest that his blue Squirtle shorts were showing as he lay there like that.

Chapter 151 Underwear in the Pokémon World

The underwear brands in the Pokémon world are quite interesting. When Heath went to the supermarket, he saw quite a few underwear brands. These Squirtle men's shorts are relatively cost-effective. For higher-end men's shorts, there's the Swan Dance brand, which is said to be very comfortable to wear, but also expensive.

So there are quite a few men who use the Squirtle brand, but what attracts men's attention the most is the Minas Lingerie Show, which is held only once in a while and attracts countless people's attention every time it is held.

Her status is similar to Victoria's Secret in her previous life, but Milos's clothes are even more...

It's unique. Anyway, Heath can't watch those things. Sister Feng never lets Heath watch those kinds of things. In the dormitory, Heath can usually only watch children's channels and science and education channels. As Heath got older, he was allowed to watch some movies and TV series.

However, after watching it once, Heath never wanted to watch it again. He didn't quite understand why the Pokémon world would have domineering CEO idol dramas, as well as various trainers' family life stories, such as how gentle trainers take care of irritable Pokémon and other similar themes.

Thankfully, there are no Pokémon mother-in-law/daughter-in-law dramas, otherwise Heath would definitely have a breakdown. Before he transmigrated, when he was in school, his mother especially loved watching these kinds of mother-in-law/daughter-in-law dramas.

So after seeing Assom's Squirtle shorts, Heath was silent for a moment, then sped up his breakfast preparation. He decided to finish quickly before the crowds arrived, so that Assom could avoid getting into trouble.

"Trainer, why don't you go up and remind him?" Zoroah jumped onto Hiss's head, his tone full of schadenfreude and triumph.

"This kind of thing is hard to remind someone of, and didn't you notice he's already asleep?" Heath glared at Zoroya. How could she remind him if she went up to him?

Pat Ah Song on the shoulder, then look at him, still half asleep, and say, "Sir, your blue Squirtle is showing."

If there were already other people present, Heath would definitely have done it that way, but since there are no pedestrians yet, there's a better way.

"It's really simple, of course. You just need to walk up to him, grab his blue shorts, and pull them up hard, and he'll wake up!" Zoroia said confidently. She'd read in the book "Machamp♂ and My♂ Morning" a while back that Machamp always made that trainer make an indescribable sound when pulling up their shorts like that, and then…

Soraya's lewd expression caught Heath's eye. Heath gave Soraya a flick on the forehead without any expression. This girl was completely hopeless. What was she thinking? If Heath did this, she could probably go straight to Officer Jenny's and sit in the chair of regret today.

Then Feng Jie will probably come running up today and teach Heath a lesson. Feng Jie hits really hard. Officer Jenny knows where to hit the most painful spots without leaving any wounds. She's very skilled at it.

"Sir, your breakfast is ready." Heath packed the breakfast into a bag, came to Asong's side, and then woke him up.

"...Huh? Okay, thank you." Ah Song suddenly sat up, staring blankly ahead. It took him a while to calm down before he finally came to his senses. He picked up his breakfast and swayed away.

Heath looked at Asong with sympathy. Heath remembered seeing Asong when he was setting up his stall yesterday. Could this customer be going home to sleep for a while and then having to rush back to work? That must be too hard. Life is really not easy.

Just as Heath was about to turn back to the dining car, he saw a Rattata run past from a side alley at great speed, followed by a Meowth meowing angrily. He didn't know what the Rattata had done or if the Meowth was just hungry.

Heath didn't pay much attention. Even in the Indigo League, which has a large population, there must be stray Pokémon. The more people there are, the more abandoned Pokémon there are. Viridian City has set up rescue stations, so the Indigo League must have one too.

"Pip?" A strange voice called out. Heath turned around in surprise and saw a yellow ear pop out from the sewer entrance behind him, but it quickly disappeared back down.

Heath paused for a moment. That shouldn't be Pikachu. After all, Heath had seen Pikachu before. It was fluffy and cute. But the yellow ears looked even stranger. Although the sound was similar, Heath felt that the sound was a bit hoarse and deep.

However, it's hard to say whether that Pikachu was sick or not. Sick Pikachu often look like this. Heath had heard from Boss Giovanni that the Evergreen City rescue station had rescued a seriously ill Pikachu that had been abandoned.

"Maybe I misheard?" Heath scratched his head, not paying much attention, and returned to the dining car to prepare to serve the guests later.

As the start of the workday approached, the streets became bustling. Every now and then, customers would stop to buy a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) from Heath, while some girls who had just met yesterday would also come to Heath to buy milk tea. Fortunately, Heath had made sufficient preparations, so serving the customers was not too chaotic.

"Heath, are you settling in well with our Indigo League?" Heath, who was so busy he wished he had three heads and six arms, heard a familiar voice. Heath looked up and saw it was Officer Jenny, the captain of the Indigo League, the one who had taken Heath to the Officer Jenny Building before.

“Jingjie! I’m fine. It feels similar to Evergreen City, but it’s much more lively here.” Heath smiled. Officer Jenny had come in line.

"That's good. Call Feng when you have time. She's really worried about you. She sent me a lot of messages yesterday... And get me one of these jianbing guozi with scallions. Feng said this is the best breakfast you make." Officer Jenny said with a smile. Heath nodded. He had sent Feng a message to let her know he was safe before, but he didn't expect her to still be so worried about him.

However, that's just the kind of person Sister Feng is. She rarely shows her concern for someone, but rather cares for them silently. Sister Feng rarely reveals her true feelings.

Before long, a jianbing guozi with scallions and duck leeks was ready. Heath handed it to Officer Jenny and then watched her leave in a hurry. It was probably because Officer Jenny had come over specifically to tell Feng what she had done yesterday.

Chapter 152 The New Ingredients from Ho-Oh

Heath sat in his food cart. He had to admit that the Quartz Union was really bustling. In just a short while, Heath had already encountered quite a few customers. Heath had even sold out of the jianbing guozi he was holding. This made Heath realize why big cities have a siphon effect.

After all, compared to Evergreen City, which might not be able to sell all its Jianbing Guozi in a whole day, the Quartz Alliance is much more efficient and makes money much faster. However, it is also more expensive. The price of ingredients and seasonings in the Quartz Alliance is higher than that in Evergreen City. So it can be said that there are gains and losses.

"But with this Chef's Eye, I feel like the tasks ahead will become easier." Heath yawned. His Chef's Eye task progress had reached 88. At this rate, Heath felt that if he stayed in the Quartz Alliance for a while longer, he could complete the task of a thousand people.

"What are you doing here? Honestly, all you do all day is run around. Don't you know it's been hard for me to find you?" A familiar voice rang out. Heath looked up and saw Ho-Oh.

Ho-Oh stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Heath with a displeased expression, his face practically screaming, "Why did you dare to run around like that?" This made Heath rub his nose involuntarily. He had been thinking about how to complete the task that would satisfy the legendary Pokémon, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

Next, we'll see what Ho-Oh wants to eat, and what her taste preferences are indicated on her head.

"After all, I'm a traveling chef, always wandering around to different places... Would you like something to eat?" Seeing Ho-Oh's unhappy expression, Heath couldn't help but smile. Ho-Oh looked like a proud and aloof girl, and apart from that, she didn't really see any of the majesty of a legendary Pokémon.

"Hmph, if you run off again... I won't come to you to buy food next time!" Phoenix threatened fiercely, but against the backdrop of her loli-like appearance, this threat was hardly scary; it could even be described as cute and fierce.

"Okay, okay, so what do you want to eat this time?" Heath looked at Ho-Oh with a wry smile, this kind of threat was truly unheard of.

Ho-Oh's eyes immediately darted to the small blackboard that Heath had hung outside the food cart. There weren't many dishes on it, but Heath didn't think Ho-Oh would order those. Ho-Oh always ate strange things, as if it was deliberately trying to make things difficult for people, but Heath didn't really care.

“I heard from Luo… my friend that you’re a great cook, but I don’t think so! If you’re really that good, I’d like to see how you cook with this thing!” Ho-Oh tried to raise her head and look at Heath, but because Ho-Oh’s loli form was a bit short, the consequence of her doing so was that Heath could see her nostrils.

However, Heath's attention was immediately drawn to what Ho-Oh had taken out: a large crab, a large purple crab. This large crab was crawling around very energetically in front of Heath, and Heath had never seen such a crab in the market before.

"What kind of crab is this?" Heath became a little interested. For a chef, the most attractive things are good kitchen utensils, ingredients he has never seen before, and new and unknown recipes. These would make Heath feel very excited. However, Heath did not expect that Ho-Oh would give him a crab.

"You're the chef, you're so good, you'll have to guess for yourself~" Ho-Oh laughed happily. It seemed that Ho-Oh didn't intend to explain this to Heath. However, Heath wasn't too surprised. After all, that was Ho-Oh's personality. If Ho-Oh really became well-mannered one day, Heath would feel that Ho-Oh had been replaced.

Seeing Ho-Oh sitting happily in the chair, looking at him smugly, Heath silently took out the ingredient identification device from before. Heath hadn't used this thing today, so it was perfect for identifying this crab.

[Large purple crab, edible and non-toxic, rich in crab roe, making it a very suitable crab for consumption. However, the crab meat has a very poor texture, so it is recommended to only use the crab roe. It is a very rare ingredient.]

The explanation was very simple and easy to understand. Heath stroked his chin. This kind of big purple crab is really unique. He didn't expect there to be a kind of crab that can only be eaten for its roe. For those crab roe lovers, this kind of crab is probably the best crab in the world. The crab meat is actually dispensable.

Crab meat actually has a rather mild flavor, but you can still smell the strong crab aroma. Many people think that crabs are not worth the price, after all, crabs are very expensive, but the edible part is very small. You may have to peel off half a kilogram of shell from a one-kilogram crab.

"But there are so many things you can make with crab roe. Crab roe noodles and crab roe fried rice are pretty good, but if we're talking about crab roe, I think the best one is still the crab roe itself." Heath swallowed, remembering something he had eaten before.

Thinking of this, Heath took out flour from the cabinet, and Farfetch'd curiously came over. Zoroark was laughing like an idiot in the rest room, which worried Farfetch'd. He originally planned to come out and call the trainer to go in and see if Zoroark was broken, but he didn't expect to see Heath looking at the giant crab when he came out.

Farfetch'd had never seen such a large crab before, though he had seen some crabs before. Those crabs were hard to eat; even if they crawled right up to Farfetch'd's mouth, he wouldn't touch them because they didn't have much meat and were very troublesome to eat. So Farfetch'd was quite curious about how Heath planned to deal with this crab.

Heath slowly kneaded the dough. The large purple crab was still alive, and Heath had no intention of dealing with it for the time being. Instead, he focused on processing the flour. Heath planned to make crab roe soup dumplings, a specialty of China, which uses crab roe.

Judging from the size of this giant purple crab, Heath thought it could be used to make several crab roe soup dumplings. These crab roe soup dumplings have a fantastic texture and taste delicious. Heath thought Phoenix would be satisfied with this food.

However, Heath paused for a moment. He glanced at Ho-Oh, who was resting its chin on its hand, staring blankly at the bustling commercial district. The adorable Ho-Oh attracted the attention of many people.

However, what puzzled Heath was that Ho-Oh didn't have those two taste preference pop-ups on its head. This left Heath somewhat bewildered. If he couldn't see Ho-Oh's favorite flavors, whether this crab roe soup dumpling would satisfy Ho-Oh was a matter of mystery.

Heath shook his head. "Never mind, let's take it slow."

Chapter 153 Crab Roe Soup Dumplings

Although crab roe soup dumplings are a type of steamed bun, they are actually quite different from ordinary steamed buns in terms of how they are made. The difference lies in the dough of crab roe soup dumplings. The dough of crab roe soup dumplings is usually more elastic and oily, unlike the soft dough of ordinary steamed buns.

The advantage of this is that the soup inside the crab roe soup dumplings can be retained inside the dumplings and will not be absorbed by the dough.

Once the dough was almost ready, Heath tied up the large purple crab and put it in a steamer to steam it. While the crab was steaming, Heath also needed to take care of some other things, namely the crab meat.

The filling of authentic crab roe soup dumplings is made with very special ingredients: crab roe and crab meat. The soup must also be made with chicken broth. Chicken broth and crab roe are easy to prepare, but crab meat is more of a headache for Heath.

Heath hadn't forgotten what he'd just seen with the ingredient detector. While the roe of the giant purple crab was a top-tier delicacy, its meat was quite unpalatable. If the meat of the giant purple crab were added to the roe, the crab roe soup dumpling would probably be ruined.
