I opened a restaurant in the Pokémon world.

[Darkrai's Saliva: Darkrai is disgusted by your nightmares and has spat in disgust, vowing never to come near you again. Holding this item will grant you nightmare immunity, preventing you from having any nightmares.]

Heath's lips twitched. In his hand was a small bottle containing a black liquid. It didn't look very big, probably the same type of oral liquid as in his previous life.

Heath picked up another bottle, which contained a little pink liquid, presumably Cresselia's saliva.

[Creselia's Saliva: Cresselia cannot understand your nightmares, and its disgust for them prevents it from altering your dreams. Holding this item will grant you the freedom from pleasant dreams, ensuring you will never have any pleasant dreams.]

Heath covered his face. This thing was definitely a negative effect! While Heath disliked nightmares, sweet dreams were still wonderful, but with this thing, sweet dreams were impossible...

Wait a minute, Heath suddenly felt like he'd discovered a key point. If he didn't have nightmares or pleasant dreams, did that mean he wouldn't dream at all when he was asleep? After all, no matter what kind of dream it was, it could more or less be categorized into pleasant dreams and nightmares.

Although he was very curious, Heath knew that he could only study this matter when he went to bed at night. What Heath needed to do now was to get up and buy ingredients. He planned to buy some crabs and let Onion Duck learn how to make crab roe soup dumplings.

However, as soon as he sat up, Heath saw the food identification device placed to the side, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Heath picked up the food identification device, then picked up Cresselia's saliva, and glanced at it.

Cresselia's saliva is edible and non-toxic. It is the saliva of Cresselia, the goddess of dreams, and possesses Cresselia's natural fragrance. It has a rich taste and can enhance the aroma of food. However, it will cause Cresselia great disgust, so it is not recommended to consume it. Although people are free to choose their own preferences, it is still advisable to consult a doctor.

Heath stroked his chin, realizing that's how it all turned out. However, Heath certainly wouldn't add other Pokémon's saliva to the food; that would be too perverted, and Heath felt he couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, most foods are still about cleanliness and hygiene. Except for special foods in certain regions, such as local specialty chewed liquor, Heath thinks that not many people like to drink other people's saliva.

"Zorua, get up!" Heath stood up and grabbed Zoroua by the neck, but before Zoroua could open his eyes, Heath saw what Zoroua was holding. Heath silently took it down. It was a black crystal. Heath knew what it was: Nightmare Crystal. Because it was useless and had a lot of negative effects, Heath had put it in the cabinet, but he didn't expect Zoroua to take it out.

Heath immediately understood why she had had a nightmare yesterday. Heath took a deep breath, then gently placed Zoroa on the bed, carefully covered her with a blanket, and then quietly opened the door, taking the bewildered Farfetch'd out. She then silently patted Snorlax's belly.

Snorlax didn't react; it was still sleeping. Heath patted it again, but still no reaction. Heath moved closer to Snorlax and quietly said, "Time for breakfast." Then Snorlax suddenly sat up.

"Snorlax, come here, I have a task for you. Go to your room and practice your voice. Sing a line at the top of your lungs... sing 'Old driver, take me with you' as well as you can, to prepare for a folk song duet." Heath looked at Snorlax with a smile. Snorlax opened its mouth, then nodded, and then strode in with its huge steps.

"Remember to close the door! Sing at the top of your lungs!" Hiss smiled and gave Snorlax a thumbs up. Snorlax happily raised its hand and then closed the door.

Immediately afterwards, Heath heard a loud noise coming from his dream, which surprised him. His room was supposed to be very soundproof, but even with such good soundproofing, it still couldn't completely block out Snorlax's loud voice, which showed just how loud the sound inside was.

The sound continued for a while, then Snorlax pushed open the door and walked out with a big smile. Snorlax was clearly very happy. Hiss looked around the room curiously but didn't see Zoroa.

Farfetch'd looked at Heath with a strange look, and Charmander had the same look. After being yelled at like that for so long in the closed room, Zoroah must have fainted by now.

Charmander and Farfetch'd exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming even stranger.

Heath didn't notice Farfetch'd and Charmander's gazes. Instead, he went into the bedroom, found Zoroah under the covers who had been knocked unconscious, and then grabbed Zoroah by the neck and shook him for a while before Zoroah let out a miserable cry and woke up.

"Good morning, Zoroya. How did you sleep last night?" Heath asked Zoroya with a smile.

"Huff...huff...I just saw my great-grandfather, who died, waving at me from a dark world." Zoroia gasped for breath, feeling as if she had just been to the world of ghost Pokémon.

Farfetch'd and Charmander exchanged another glance, then nodded together, seemingly having reached some kind of consensus.

"He's probably having a nightmare. Come on, brush your teeth and wash your face. We'll go buy ingredients to make breakfast later." Heath wiped her hands. It seemed that Snorlax's voice was really deadly.

Thinking about this, Hiss felt his chances of winning had increased, after all, his opponent was Explosion, a Pokémon known for its sound. But Snorlax also had good talent, and Hiss felt he still had a chance to win.

Chapter 164 Going to extremes is never good

Although Seath had some doubts about whether his Yeti Snorlax could beat the Explosive Pokémon, life had to go on. After washing up, Seath drove his food truck to the Indigo League market, where he needed to buy some ingredients.

Although Indigo League is the largest and most densely populated city in the Kanto region, the market in Indigo League is not very crowded at this time of morning, but even so, it is still much more crowded than in Evergreen City.

Heath went straight to the seafood shop. He needed to buy some crabs to take away. These crabs would become ingredients for Farfetch'd, since Farfetch'd's new task was to learn how to make crab roe soup dumplings. While he was at it, Heath also let Farfetch'd out so that Farfetch'd could stay by his side and learn how to select ingredients.

Although it's not the season for eating crab roe in theory, the Pokémon world is clearly different from my previous life. After asking around in the seafood area, Heath actually found crabs that can produce crab roe in this season, but the price is relatively high, after all, these are crabs that produce crab roe in this season.

If it were before, Heath might have hesitated a bit, but now Heath doesn't have so many concerns. The money from the large purple crab soup dumplings sold yesterday is enough for Heath to splurge a little. In addition, because of the practice for Farfetch'd, Heath bought a total of ten kilograms of crabs. Although it looks like a lot, it's actually not enough to make many soup dumplings.

"Yawn..." Zoroia yawned while resting her head on Heath's head; her sleepy-eyed appearance looked adorable.

"You had a nightmare last night, didn't you?" Heath asked with a smile, looking at Zoroya. He knew from the nightmare crystal that Zoroya was holding this morning that the little guy must have nightmares too, but he wasn't sure what kind of nightmares they were.

"Hmph." Zoroya snorted, ignoring Heath. Thinking of yesterday's nightmare, Zoroya covered his face in embarrassment, which puzzled Heath. What was wrong with this little guy this time?

Although curious, Heath didn't pay attention. After buying the ingredients she needed, Heath returned to the dining car, set up the autopilot, called the farfalle duck to her side, and then began to instruct the farfalle duck on how to handle the crabs.

"Trainer, does the crab feel pain when you handle it like that?" Zoroia asked curiously. Her question surprised Hiss. As a chef, he had never really cared about whether his ingredients would feel pain, but he knew they probably would.

"Why did you ask that question?" Heath looked at Zoroya suspiciously. If this little guy turned into a fanatical animal rights fox or a fanatical vegetarian fox, then Heath would definitely take her to the Pokémon Center and let her receive treatment from Nurse Joy there.

In the world of Pokémon, there are naturally some strange and unusual people. When Sheath was running a small stall in Viridian City, she once met such a customer.

It was a woman who came to Heath's food cart. Heath initially thought she was there to buy breakfast, since that was the busiest time for breakfast, and Heath's food cart could only serve a small area.

In addition, Heath's jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) tastes very good, is quick to make, and is inexpensive, so Heath's breakfast stall is quite famous, and many people come to buy breakfast every day.

Just as Heath looked up, intending to ask the woman who had been standing silently in front of him for so long what she wanted to buy, he discovered that the woman was dressed in a hen-themed coat and holding a sign with the words "They are also living beings, they have the right to live" written in bloody letters.

Heath knew what kind of person this woman was back then. After all, such things were not uncommon in his previous life, especially among those in Europe and America who had nothing better to do than try to seek their moral high ground in the animal kingdom.

Heath didn't say much, but contacted Officer Jenny to take the guy away on charges of obstructing public transport and security. After all, the guy was holding a nail clipper, and who knew if she would attack him with it?

But the woman still came frequently, and the Officers didn't have a good way to deal with her, since she hadn't done anything.

It wasn't until the woman completely lost her mind that she disappeared from Heath's sight. This was because Heath had just prepared a jianbing (Chinese crepe) with two eggs for a busy office worker in front of her. The angry woman rushed over, overturned Heath's food cart, flipped over Heath's eggs, smashed the jianbing in the face of the bewildered office worker, and accidentally knocked Heath's braised food pot onto herself in the process.

Then the woman was taken to the hospital due to severe burns and other charges, and was subsequently admitted to a mental hospital.

“No, I’m just a little curious because when I was reading a novel, it mentioned the humane way of killing food.” Zoroya said with a curious look. Heath’s lips twitched. It seems there are quite a few people in this world who are just bored and have nothing better to do.

“It will hurt, of course, but I don’t think there’s anything to say about it.” Heath shrugged, then had Farfetch’d take out the steamed crab and remove the crab roe.

"Or are you not planning to eat these soup dumplings?" Heath asked again. Soloah immediately shook her head. Of course she wanted to eat them, and she wanted to eat them to her heart's content. These crab roe soup dumplings tasted especially good.

Heath didn't care. If that extreme woman were standing in front of him, Heath might have used the answers he saw on Zhihu in his previous life to answer her. But Heath knew about Soroya. This guy was always curious about all sorts of strange things, and he was just interested in it now.

Right now, Heath's main focus is naturally on the matter of scallion duck making crab roe soup dumplings. It has to be said that after experiencing the preparation of some dishes, scallion duck is now becoming more and more adept at making these foods, and can even be described as very skilled.

However, Heath pointed out quite a few problems with the preparation of the crab roe and the selection of seasonings. But apart from these problems, Da Scallion Duck only had some questions about the skin.

Chapter 165 The Big Green Duck Has a Girlish Heart

Looking at the strange-looking crab roe soup dumplings in front of him, Heath admitted that he was a little tired. He didn't quite understand why the steps for making the scallion duck were so normal, but when it came to making the dough for the crab roe soup dumplings, things suddenly became so wrong.

“No, didn’t you already roll out the dough? If you follow my method, you can definitely make a decent crab roe soup dumpling…” Heath took a deep breath. In Heath’s opinion, the crab roe soup dumpling in front of him wasn’t inedible, it was just a bit oddly shaped.

All sorts of bizarre shapes, like stars and hearts, Heath couldn't understand why Farfetch'd could mold these things into such forms. The most outrageous thing was that it even looked somewhat girlish, which made Heath glance at Zoroah. He remembered that Zoroah had said that Farfetch'd was a male.

"Scallion~" Farfetch'd patted its chest proudly, clearly very pleased with itself, as if these creations were in line with its expectations.

"Congcong said it thinks it looks pretty good shaped like this." Zoroya translated weakly. If Heath hadn't promised to give her breakfast later, Zoroya would have preferred to go back to her room and lie down on her warm, comfortable bed that smelled like Heath... no, Heath had slept on, to rest.

She was too tired and didn't sleep well last night. Then, she seemed to have encountered something very frightening today. Soroya's mental state was not very good. Even translating this took all of her energy.

Heath was somewhat speechless. What did he mean by thinking it looked good? But then she thought that crab roe soup dumplings didn't really have strict requirements for their appearance. However, whether this kind of appearance would affect the taste of the crab roe soup dumplings was something worth considering.

Fortunately, the final result was good. Heath took a bite and found it quite delicious. The aroma of crab meat and the crab roe blended together, and the rich chicken broth made the crab roe soup dumpling taste even better. Heath really liked the taste.

"Not bad, but next time you still need to pay attention to the ratio of seasoning to crab roe and crab meat. The crab roe flavor in this one is too bland, and the crab meat flavor is dominant." Heath wiped his mouth, and Farfetch'd nodded seriously.

Zorua had finished eating and gone back to sleep. According to Zorua, she planned to sleep until she was fully rested. Snorlax was wearing a pair of headphones on its head, which Officer Jenny had given it. Thanks to Zorua's help, Snorlax had not revealed its true form and now looked like an ordinary Snorlax.

Although Snorlax agreed to help the League sing folk songs with Exploud, it still needed some training. Officer Jenny collected some Pokémon folk songs, recorded them into a music CD, and provided them to Snorlax.

The little dragon was still the same as always; even while eating crab roe soup dumplings, its eyes were fixed on the door of the lounge.

Although Heath thought Charmander's idea of ​​building muscle was good, Heath also hoped that Charmander could spend more time with him. So Heath couldn't help but glance at the kitchen ingredient cabinet, which contained the beef and lamb that Heath had bought. Heath planned to call Charmander over and let him learn how to become a barbecue chef.

Heath also posted the names and prices of the two additional dishes for today, and then all that was left was to wait for the guests to arrive.

Before dawn, the first customer arrived at Heath's food cart. It was Asong, who still had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless. Heath looked at him with some sympathy. Working overtime so often at his age might take a toll on his health in the future. However, Heath didn't say much. His relationship with Asong wasn't close enough for him to freely discuss other people's private matters.

"What would you like to eat?" Heath asked with a smile, looking at Asong. Asong scratched his head, seemingly hesitant. He had originally planned to order a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), since that was what he had ordered yesterday, but today there were two more items on the blackboard.

Ah Song glanced at it and saw the words "Crab Roe Soup Dumplings: 8 Alliance Coins Each" and "Grilled Skewers: 3 Alliance Coins Each." It was obvious that Heath had just added these items today. However, Ah Song knew Heath's abilities very well. In Ah Song's opinion, Heath's cooking skills were simply top-notch.

"Then please give me... two crab roe soup dumplings and a cup of milk tea." Ah Song quickly decided what he wanted to eat, and Heath nodded as well; those two were easy to agree on.

Just as Asong was about to lie down and rest on the table and chairs, Heath called him back and placed the breakfast that had already been prepared on the counter.

"Huh? So fast today?" Asong asked with some surprise. If it weren't for the steaming hot food, Asong would have thought that Heath had taken out the cold food.

“Yes, because these are all foods prepared in advance.” Heath smiled. Breakfast, especially steamed buns and soy milk, is all about speed. Unless it needs to be made on the spot, most breakfast items can be made very quickly.

"It smells good... By the way, boss, was this the popular shop yesterday?" Ah Song picked up the soup dumpling in surprise, then took out his phone and showed it to Heath with some doubt.

Heath glanced at it curiously. It was a news article from a self-media outlet with the title "Shocking! Why are there buns costing 8,000 coins?" The first line read, "According to what we've learned, a bun shop appeared yesterday that sells buns for 8,000 Alliance coins each. We're curious whether the bun skin or the filling is made of gold."

Heath's lips twitched. Goodness, it seems he's in the news now? It's just that the news doesn't look very friendly, but Heath doesn't really care.

“Yes, this is indeed my shop,” Heath said calmly.

"It's infuriating! These self-media outlets are all about grabbing attention. They're clearly charging eight yuan a piece!" Asong said angrily.

"Actually, it is indeed eight thousand, but it's made with the roe of a large purple crab. Large purple crabs are very expensive, so eight thousand is a good price to break even." Heath explained, while Ah Song had already stuffed the crab roe soup dumpling into his mouth and taken a spoonful. After hearing Heath's words, he choked and coughed for a long time.

Heath almost couldn't resist asking Asson to show his green health code.

Chapter 166 New City, Old Friends

"Really eight thousand?" Ah Song took a long time to swallow the crab roe soup dumpling in his mouth. He said with a shocked expression, afraid that Heath would suddenly tell him that the dumpling cost eight thousand each and that he could not leave without paying.

"Yes, but those soup dumplings are made from the roe of a large purple crab. Large purple crabs are expensive." Heath nodded. He didn't price the ordinary crabs that he used. Heath only made two dollars per dumpling.

Hearing this, Ah Song couldn't help but glance at the blackboard that Heath had hung up. It did indeed indicate that these were ordinary crab roe soup dumplings, and the price was indeed eight yuan each. However, while eating the fragrant dumplings, Ah Song admitted that he was a little curious. What would the large purple crab roe dumplings, which were so much more expensive than these dumplings, taste like?

"Boss, the food here is really delicious. Are you planning to take out a delivery service?" Ah Song finished his second bun. With the experience from the first time, Ah Song was much more skilled at eating crab roe soup dumplings this time, and he didn't choke to death like he did the first time.

“Delivery? I don’t have much time, so I probably can’t deliver it.” Heath frowned. Noon was his busiest time, so how could he possibly go out and deliver food to other companies?

“You can give it to a delivery company. Our company is just over 100 meters away from your little food cart. The delivery fee is very cheap, and we can pay for it ourselves,” Ah Song added. The taste was really amazing. After eating it once, Ah Song kept thinking about Heath's braised chicken.

Heath stroked his chin. If the customer was willing to pay for the delivery themselves, that wouldn't be a problem. After all, Heath had previously worked delivering meals to mental hospitals and prisons, and having people from the same company could significantly increase his satisfaction.

Previously, Heath had always thought that satisfaction was useless and could only be used to upgrade the chef's eye. But now, with the appearance of the Food Compendium, Heath knew that satisfaction was the best thing in the world for him. It could be used to exchange for these rare ingredients. The only downside was that he had to get them himself to entertain his guests.

Therefore, satisfaction is what Heath cares about most right now.

"If you cover the delivery costs yourself, that's fine, but how many people in your company are planning to order?" Heath asked Asong, so he could decide what to do.

"Hehe, so far, it's just our department's group that's planning to order, which makes a total of twenty-seven people including me." Ah Song laughed sheepishly. Heath didn't mind; Ah Song wasn't the boss, so how could he decide what the people in the company ate? Twenty-seven people wasn't a small number.

After asking about the general taste, Heath agreed to the order and said that it could be prepared today. Ah Song readily paid for the food for 27 people, as well as the delivery fee, and Heath accepted it with a smile.

Actually, you need to be careful when running a restaurant business, because some scammers like to use group bookings to cheat people in the restaurant business. That's why Heath always takes the money before doing anything.
