This includes the bag in front of us, which is from a top luxury brand. Their bags are only available to high-level members, and becoming a high-level member means spending around ten million yuan annually at this luxury shopping store.
The woman in front of you, with her stunning figure and striking good looks, has just this kind of bag.
"Not big, but very delicious," Heath said calmly. Although the other person's bun was quite large, Heath felt that his bun was still not very big.
"Oh?" The woman's interest was instantly piqued. It was a small bun, but why did it dare to price it at eight thousand Alliance Coins? And it was even a limited edition?
The woman looked at Heath's calm gaze, then took out her small bag, took out some money, counted it, and handed it to Heath. It was eight 1,000 League Coins, the largest denomination banknote in the Pokémon world.
Eight thousand Alliance Coins is no small sum, but judging from the woman's expression, it's like eight dollars to her. It seems she cares more about the taste.
"Give me one to try~" The woman smiled at Heath, who took the money and put it in the drawer. Then she took a crab roe soup dumpling from the steamer, put it in a bag and handed it to the woman, reminding her to be careful not to burn her mouth.
The woman looked at the plastic bag in her hand. It was a very ordinary plastic bag, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She always used paper bags when she went shopping, and those paper bags were all very well-made, like works of art. They were nothing like this plastic bag, which looked so cheap.
However, it must be said that the rich aroma of the crab roe soup dumplings made the woman swallow hard. She blew on the dumplings several times before slowly taking a bite of the dumpling skin.
The woman's eyes widened in surprise. She opened her mouth wide, as if trying to spit out the soup, but the delicious taste made her reluctant to part with it. This was the only way she could relieve the burning sensation in her mouth.
Watching the woman finish a crab roe soup dumpling in front of him, Heath ruffled the head of the big green onion duck next to him. He could tell that this rich woman must really like his soup dumplings, and if nothing unexpected happened, they should be sold out.
"This is amazing... It tastes so good. Can I take the rest home?" The woman took out a handkerchief with a brand that Heath had never seen before, but it was probably a valuable luxury item.
Heath nodded. He didn't care about any purchase limits. He was already satisfied that he could sell the food before he went back to Officer Jenny's dorm to cook in the afternoon. As for whether it was the same person who bought it, Heath didn't care at all.
"Can I pay by card?" The woman looked at Heath with a smile, a bank card between her fingers. Although she would carry some cash with her when she went out, she didn't carry much. After all, it was too troublesome to pay for the things she wanted with cash, and it was much easier to pay with a bank card.
Heath paused for a moment. He did have a bank card, but the problem was that he didn't have a card reader. This gave Heath a headache. He couldn't very well go out and get a card reader now, could he?
Just as Heath was having some trouble, she saw a notch pop up automatically on her food cart counter, and then a card reader rose out from it. The woman looked at this scene in surprise, but still swiped her card, and 48,000 Alliance Coins were instantly swiped.
"It tastes good, but little brother, where did you buy this big purple crab?" the woman asked curiously. She was the type who really liked eating crabs, and the rich crab aroma made her curious and come over to take a look. She never expected to find such a treasure of a delicacy.
"I obtained this by chance. It's a very rare crab, otherwise I wouldn't have sold it for this price," Heath explained with a smile. After all, she was a big customer. However, Heath really didn't know how Ho-Oh got it. If he said it was given to him by Ho-Oh, this woman probably wouldn't believe him.
"Is that so?" The woman smiled, clearly mistaking Heath's ignorance for reluctance. After all, a normal person wouldn't tell others about such a delicious crab, especially one that could make a lot of money.
Watching the woman leave with a smile, Heath also put away the blackboard outside and erased the words "Big Purple Crab Roe Soup Dumplings" from it. Now the crabs are sold, but when they can be launched again next time is another question. At least not in the short term.
As lunchtime approached, Heath became busy, serving office workers who came to eat lunch and some shoppers. The busy work prompted Heath to call over Farfetch'd, as he needed Farfetch'd to help him out.
Otherwise, Heath alone wouldn't be able to handle it.
Chapter 157 The Ultimate Frankenstein's Monster
After a midday break, Heath was about to close up shop. After all, the ingredients he had bought for making braised chicken were almost sold out, and Heath felt he should restock. He could also buy some crabs so that Onion Duck could try making crab roe soup dumplings. If Onion Duck did a good job, Heath planned to have Onion Duck work for him as a soup dumpling maker from now on.
After all, Heath felt that his breakfast offerings were still too limited. Although Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe) had begun to show its power, it would be difficult for Heath to make more money with only Jianbing Guozi. Therefore, it was only right to expand into other products.
"Charmander, come help me tidy up the tables and chairs," Heath called out. Charmander popped out of the room. It was clear that Charmander had just finished exercising and was covered in sweat, but Charmander was very happy to be able to help Heath.
After getting off the food cart with Charmander, Heath began tidying up the tables and chairs. These tables and chairs were foldable and lightweight, so even Charmander could easily put them away.
"Huh?" Charmander looked curiously out of the food truck, which piqued Heath's curiosity. Following Charmander's gaze, Heath discovered that it was a sewer, but there was nothing in it. This inexplicably reminded Heath of the horror movie "It" that he had seen before.
However, the clowns in this world are all comedic characters; the classic horror movie image has never appeared, and Heath doesn't think it's a big problem that it hasn't.
After all, Heath felt it was better to have less of that kind of childhood trauma. Besides, there were even scarier things in this world, namely Ghost Pokémon. Some types of Ghost Pokémon were typical illusion masters, very good at creating realistic environments to scare innocent passersby and thus gain fear.
"What's wrong, Charmander?" Heath asked curiously. What's wrong with Charmander?
"Awooo~" the little dragon cried out, then shook its head. Heath couldn't understand it either, so he could only ask Zoroa for help later.
After returning to the dining car, Heath learned from Zoroah what Charmander had been trying to say.
"You mean, you just saw a pair of eyes in the sewer?" Heath looked at Charmander blankly. If he didn't know Charmander's personality, Heath would have thought that Charmander and Zoroah had teamed up to prank him. After all, this kind of thing seemed like something only Zoroah would say.
Charmander nodded very firmly. Heath stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. If asked what exactly was in the sewers of a city, Heath really didn't know. After all, even in Evergreen City, the sewers were a place that people generally disliked.
The sewers in the Pokémon world are somewhat different from those in the previous world. The sewers in this world actually have those special little passages, seemingly designed to facilitate the maintenance of specialized equipment such as water pipes, electrical wires, or network cables, and the layout of the sewers is also taken into consideration.
The sewers in this world are not just simple pipes, but there are differences. Only some special sewer lines have this layout. The sewers in other places are all pipes, which are too big for an adult to crawl into. It would be dangerous for a child as well. Moreover, most people would rarely crawl into a sewer.
The stench from the sewers is no joke; the smell is extremely strong, not to mention the grime that accumulates over the years. Even most people, let alone those with obsessive-compulsive disorder, would find it unbearable to go down there.
However, as far as Hiss knows, there are actually some special Pokémon in the Pokémon world that live in the sewers. Among them, Grimer and Koffing are the most common Pokémon. However, the Grimer League usually only organizes a regular cleaning once a month, while Koffing is a key target for monitoring.
The special ability of Koffing was a huge problem in the sewers. It is said that the League did not pay much attention to these Pokémon living in the sewers at first, until one day when a dark organization caused trouble and used Koffing to blow up the sewers. The explosion of the swamp gas caused a street in the city to be completely rebuilt and the pipes also needed extensive repairs.
Therefore, the security of the sewers has been put on the agenda, and Pokémon like Koffing, which occasionally sneaks in, are now under close surveillance.
Heath figured the little dragon was probably just seeing Mud, so he didn't pay much attention. After comforting the little dragon, Heath drove the food truck toward the market. Heath planned to buy some crabs, not too many, but whether there were any crabs with roe at this time of year was still a problem.
As for the remaining crab meat and other parts, Heath had already figured out how to handle them. It seemed that Zoroya and his crew were in for a treat today, as crab was a very delicious seafood.
However, as Heath walked, he found that the road ahead was blocked. It wasn't that there was a traffic jam, but that the road ahead was blocked by a large group of people. Heath was a little helpless. It seemed that he had run into some kind of business promotion.
“Heath? What brings you here?” Officer Jenny looked at Heath in surprise, recognizing her food cart at a glance.
"Huh? Mirror Sister? What are you doing here?" Heath was a little confused. What kind of merchant is this? What kind of event could attract Officer Jenny to come here?
“I’m here to maintain order. Today is the day for the street filming of ‘New X-Men,’ didn’t you know?” Officer Jenny asked Heath with a puzzled look. Heath was stunned for a moment. What the heck is this “New X-Men”?
Heath knew about the word "X" (cross), and Crobat was a Pokémon with considerable strength after evolving from Zubat. However, Heath was a little confused by the addition of "X" (cross) after "X".
It wasn't until Heath searched online that he put down his phone with a strange expression; he really hadn't expected it to be something like this.
Heath thought "Forkman" might be a more fitting name for the character, Batman. The story is about a fictional guardian of the city of Dreamland, Avery.
At first, things seemed normal here. It was Batman, after all, with the same basic setup, except this X-Man wore a X-Bat mask, a flashy purple suit of armor, and adhered to the no-kill principle. But it wasn't until Heath saw the X-Man's childhood background that he realized this X-Man was actually an alien, sent from a distant planet to this world, where sunbathing could make him stronger.
Then, in a massive explosion, he gained the ability to travel at super speed.
Chapter 158 There may be someone in the world who looks a lot like you.
Heath's lips twitched. This setup was practically a giant Frankenstein's monster. Heath didn't know what to say for a moment. However, he understood why he was being stopped here, after all, it was the filming of a very popular movie.
"Mirror Sister, do you know where I can buy this edible quartz?" Heath asked the Officer Jenny curiously. He only had a small piece of edible quartz. Although he planned to try making some food, the quantity was too small, and Heath was hesitant to try.
“Edible quartz? You can buy this stuff in supermarkets. It’s a specialty of our Quartz Alliance, but nobody knows how to make it now, so everyone just treats it as ordinary quartz decorations.” Officer Jenny paused for a moment, then pointed.
Heath stared blankly at the Officer Jenny mirror. What? This thing can actually be bought in a supermarket?
"This...isn't this thing very precious?" Heath was completely bewildered. Wasn't this supposed to be a rare and precious specialty ingredient? How did it suddenly become something that could be bought in a supermarket?
“It’s not precious. Edible quartz is a by-product of quartz, so it’s easy to find. We usually just leave it lying around, but some chefs buy it to try cooking.” Officer Jenny casually waved the mirror around. Heath’s lips twitched. He realized that he had been tricked by that old man, Officer Jenny.
Is edible quartz precious? No, what's precious is the method of making edible quartz. After all, the method of making edible quartz no longer exists; it's basically been lost. So, the current value of edible quartz is indeed not high. However, if the method of making edible quartz were to reappear, then Heath believes that edible quartz would become expensive.
"Ugh... I got ripped off." Heath went to Officer Jenny's apartment with a dark face. Just like Mirror Sister said, this edible quartz now only costs a few dozen Alliance Coins to buy a piece the same size as the one Heath got.
It can't be said to be worthless, but it basically has no great collectible value either. Heath now feels like a fool, being played by Old Lady Jenny.
Heath stormed into the kitchen, but Officer Jenny wasn't there. However, Heath was an optimistic person, and he quickly adjusted his mindset. After all, his food truck was parked in Officer Jenny's parking lot, which saved him a lot of parking fees.
"Trainer! Trainer!" But right now, Hiss's biggest problem is still Zoroa. Ever since the little guy found out that Hiss had sold out of crab roe soup dumplings, he has been pestering Hiss, constantly asking for a raise. I don't know how he knew that he sold more than 40,000 League Coins.
"Stop yelling, all I can think about is 'Trainer.' It's just a raise, right? I'll raise it to two hundred a week." Hiss rubbed his temples helplessly; he felt like his head was about to explode if this continued.
Although Zoroah was greedy and wanted more, Hiss refused Zoroah's request. Otherwise, Hiss felt that he had agreed too quickly, and Zoroah might want even more money.
Just as Heath was about to cook, she discovered that the water pipe in Officer Jenny's canteen was broken. This left Heath somewhat helpless, so she contacted Officer Jenny, who was on duty that day, and asked her to help find a plumber to fix the pipe. After a while, a man with dark blue hair walked in. He was wearing a plumber's uniform, greeted Heath with a smile, and asked where the broken pipe was.
Heath looked at the man in front of her with a strange expression. He really looked like Kojiro.
However, the name tag on his chest clearly identified him as Yuuma, an ordinary name. In the world of Pokémon, there are indeed people who look very similar but are not twins. The most obvious example is Musashi and Kojiro's fiancée, Rumika. The two look so alike that they even have the same hair color.
There was even an episode where Musashi was mistaken for Rumika by Rumika's bodyguard. So even though the man in front of her looked exactly like Kojiro, Heath didn't say anything. Instead, she pointed out the broken part of the water pipe and asked the man who looked just like Kojiro to fix it.
Seeing Yuma busily repairing the water pipes, Heath's suspicions lessened considerably. After all, Yuma's water pipe repair skills were indeed very strong, and he hadn't done anything suspicious along the way, just honestly repairing the water pipes.
"Master, what do you do for a living?" Heath asked, watching Yuuma's retreating figure.
Yuma paused for a moment, then turned his head with a strange expression, looking at Heath as if he were looking at a mental patient who had escaped from a mental hospital. Heath coughed awkwardly twice.
After Yuma finished fixing the pipes, he took the money and left, acting very naturally throughout. Heath thought he was probably wrong, but then Zoroa jumped up from behind Heath and covered Heath's eyes with his claws.
"What's wrong, Zoroya?" Heath was a little confused. Was Zoroya planning to play hide-and-seek?
“Trainer, give me four hundred League Coins and I’ll tell you what that man did.” Zoroya said mysteriously. Hiss paused for a moment, pried open Zoroya’s paw, and then looked down at the water pipe. Everything was normal inside, with nothing unusual.
"What did you see?" Heath became a little interested; he really hadn't noticed what Yuuma had done.
“A little secret: this man might not be a plumber,” Soroya said smugly, his tone suggesting he had Heath completely under his thumb.
Heath paused for a moment. He really wanted to know what Yuuma had just done, since he seriously suspected that the other party was Kojiro. So he took out four 100-Union Coins and handed them to Zoroa.
"If you can't come up with something useful, I might have to treat you to a beating today." Heath glared at Zoroya. If this guy dared to mess with him, Heath swore he would make Zoroya pay a heavy price and teach her a lesson about not being able to say whatever she wanted.
"Tch, if you replace the wood with meat, maybe I'll consider it~" Zoroya made a face. Heath was stunned for a moment. Replace the wood with meat?
"That man put something small on the inside of this pipe. I don't know what it is~" Zoroa pointed with its paw and then ran away.
Chapter 159 The Scary Thing Outside the Window
It was indeed a listening device. Heath found the little thing after checking it. It was a similar color to a water pipe. If Soloar hadn't pointed out the location, Heath might not have been able to find it. Only after finding it did Heath manage to take it down.
"Looks like it really is James." Heath stroked his chin. Although James and Jessie of Team Rocket were exonerated afterward, they had actually completed many missions assigned by Team Rocket before. It was only after they encountered Ash, the chosen one, that they gradually changed their roles.
After the message was reported to Officer Jenny on duty, she came over in a huff, took the bugging device, and left with a dark expression. Then, Old Officer Jenny came in.
"What happened?" Old Lady Junsa asked curiously as she watched her juniors leave in a huff, while Heath was in the kitchen chopping ingredients, preparing the food to entertain the Junsas that evening.
"The water pipe just burst, so I called someone to fix it. But after fixing it, they also installed a listening device on me." Heath shrugged and casually placed the small piece of quartz he had bought on the counter. Although Heath had indeed adjusted his mindset quickly, he hadn't forgotten about being tricked by Old Lady Sa.
“It seems you know.” Old Lady Jenny paused for a moment, then saw the two quartz stones Heath had placed on the counter and instantly understood what Heath meant.
"I know, but I think it's a pretty good idea to exchange dinner for parking fees." Heath didn't seem to care much. Parking fees in the Indigo League are extremely expensive, especially since this was a food truck. Besides, it wasn't the first time Heath had cooked for Officer Jenny.
"Why don't you try cooking with this quartz?" Old Lady Junsha looked at Heath with a smile. Heath was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Old Lady Junsha with bright eyes, his eyes filled with excitement.
"You can make it?" Heath looked at Old Lady Salvation with surprise. If Old Lady Salvation could make it, it would be a great help to Heath in his time of need. After all, if he could make a dish made from the city's specialty ingredients, he would receive a reward. Although he didn't know what the reward would be, it would definitely be something good.
Old Lady Sha shook her head. She only became interested in cooking later, occasionally hearing chefs mention edible quartz. This disappointed Heath somewhat. He pursed his lips and sat down again, planning to try it when he returned to the dining car that evening.
Farfetch'd was standing next to Heath, helping him chop vegetables. It has to be said that Farfetch'd's vegetable-chopping skills are getting better and better, which is a great help to Heath.
"Come out, Alakazam." Old Lady took out a Poké Ball, and then an Alakazam with a huge head floated in the restaurant. Heath looked at it curiously. According to Alakazam tradition, this Alakazam should be quite old and very intelligent. After all, there is a saying among Alakazam that the longer an Alakazam lives, the smarter it becomes, and the bigger its head becomes.
"Come help me twist it, I don't mean to cheat the kids." Old Lady said with a smile. Then, a purple-red light flashed in Alakazam's eyes. The next second, Heath noticed that the two quartz stones were covered in psychic power. After a while, some transparent liquid flowed out from the psychic power and dripped onto the iron plate. Heath quickly washed it with water.
After cleaning, Heath saw two clumps of quartz twisted into a spiral in front of him. The quartz looked even purer, like looking through transparent glass.
