Fortunately, Heath had anticipated what his food truck might face this morning, so the amount of crab roe soup dumplings he made this time was astonishing, so astonishing that even Heath himself found it somewhat unbelievable. However, looking at the current situation, Heath couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The constant stream of customers kept Farfetch'd so busy that he wished he had an extra pair of wings. And for some reason, many people liked to reach out and touch Farfetch'd's head while paying. Heath always felt that Farfetch'd's head would eventually become that of a strongman.
"Business is really good, scallion duck." Miss Musashi rested her chin on her hand and looked with a smile at the long line of scallion ducks next to her. Heath was making the jianbing guozi that Musashi wanted to eat.
“Yeah, thanks to that champion’s publicity, plus that food show, I’ve finally experienced what it feels like to be famous, although this fame is a bit weird.” Heath shrugged, then put the bacon on the pancake. Musashi ordered the “Family Reunion” pancake today, which includes all sorts of ingredients, but naturally it’s more expensive.
Two or three years ago, if someone ordered a "Family Feast" jianbing (Chinese crepe), Heath would probably have happily shown off his amazing jianbing-flipping skills. But now Heath is much calmer. It's just a "Family Feast," while the scallion duck next to him has a super high turnover today. The scallion duck was almost sick of processing crabs this morning.
However, Farfetch'd is Sheath's Pokémon after all, so Sheath feels like he was working a good job at home, only to suddenly find his child patting his chest and telling him that he would support the family, and then telling Heath to retire and live a carefree life at home.
"Heath, I'm leaving tomorrow. When are you planning to go to your next destination?" Musashi took a sip of a bottle of Dragon Cola, exhaled a satisfied breath, and then looked at Heath with a smile and asked. Heath was stunned for a moment, and the speed at which she was wrapping the pancakes slowed down for a while.
"...I'm leaving today. I plan to go to Pallet Town after closing this afternoon." Heath looked at Musashi and said. Musashi probably has to go back to the Indigo League to tell Giovanni about the mission again. However, the fact that Musashi can get this treatment proves that Musashi's business ability is not bad. It's just a wonder why he has become such a comedic character in the future.
"Huh? You're going to Pallet Town?" Musashi looked shocked, but that was understandable. After all, Pallet Town was actually smaller than Evergreen City; it was a very small town. So Musashi really hadn't thought that Heath would go there.
“Yes, Pallet Town. Actually, I originally wanted to go to Pallet Town, but some things delayed me.” Heath handed the jianbing guozi he had made to Musashi. There was extra salad dressing on the jianbing guozi, which was Musashi’s request. Heath didn’t mind, after all, Musashi had ordered the top-of-the-line version today, so adding a little more wouldn’t be a problem.
“Paletown…that place has nothing appealing except for Professor Oak.” Jessie gave a similar comment to Giovanni. Hiss’s lips twitched. This was probably because a certain Pokémon Master had not yet embarked on his journey. Once that person did, everything would probably be different.
Musashi chatted with Heath for a couple more minutes before leaving. He didn't want to block anyone's way. If no one was around, Musashi wouldn't mind chatting with Heath, but with customers around, disturbing Heath's business was a terrible thing.
After smilingly bidding farewell to Musashi, Heath looked at the guest in front of him, Mr. Assom.
"Good morning, Mr. Assom. Are you here for lunch today?" Heath smiled at Assom. Because he might be leaving today, Heath sent Assom a message, telling him that today's bento was the last one, and after that, Assom and his friends would have to find a restaurant to order food themselves.
"Boss Heath, are you leaving the Quartz Alliance?" Mr. Asson still had dark circles under his eyes, which made Heath feel a little emotional. Mr. Asson's salary was very high, but this high salary was basically earned with his life, and he was the type who could suddenly die at any time. Sudden death could happen in an instant.
Heath always felt that being a programmer was a very tough job. Just look at Mr. Asong. Although he earns a lot, his health is also suffering from hidden dangers. If it flares up, he'll probably have to pay for hospital stays.
"Well, I plan to travel to Pallet Town and do some business there for a while." Heath smiled. Whether it was Ash or the person who was suspected to be Red, it was worth Heath's trip. Moreover, Professor Oak was there, and Heath was very curious about just how strong Professor Oak was.
"Boss Heath, you're quite the easygoing person." Mr. Asong clicked his tongue. Heath's business was so good that there were so many people queuing up to buy crab roe soup dumplings that Asong didn't even want to go over there. If he went to queue up, he would probably have to admit that he was late.
Ah Song thought that if he were Heath, he would definitely promote his crab roe soup dumplings like crazy, seize the opportunity to open chain stores, collect franchise fees, and then use the money to make more money, thus achieving financial freedom. But Heath actually planned to close it down. You know, there are so many Quartz Alliance stores that are envious of Heath.
With so much money, it would be great if I could earn it myself. This was an unavoidable thought. Many shops sent people to queue up to learn how to make crab roe soup dumplings. If it weren't for the fact that Heath's recipe was very special, it would probably have been completely imitated by others long ago.
"Well, everyone's enthusiasm only lasts three minutes. This kind of enthusiasm will only last about a week at most. Once things calm down, only those who really like the food will come back." Heath was quite calm.
Chapter 262 Leaving the Quartz Alliance
There are many delicious foods, and Heath himself has many favorite foods. However, even if it's his favorite food, Heath would feel disgusted if he ate it every day. Back when Heath was in elementary school in his previous life, before he transmigrated, he once casually mentioned to his father that he liked to eat seaweed buns sold in a market. As a result, Heath ate seaweed buns for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a week, until he was almost sick of them. As a result, he would shudder at the sight of seaweed buns after that.
And it was precisely for this reason that Heath learned a lesson: that too much of a good thing can be bad, which was a painful lesson indeed.
Moreover, he knew best what he made himself. The crab roe soup dumplings tasted great, but eating them for too long would get boring. So at this time, Heath was just riding the wave, just like the once-popular instant noodle canteen in his previous life. Many people saw this trend and invested in it, hoping to achieve financial freedom. But when the hype died down and the traffic disappeared, the instant noodle canteen lost everything.
Crab roe soup dumplings are currently very popular. These people may not have eaten at Heath's restaurant before and are only here because of the wildly popular Farfetch'd. Once the hype dies down, the sales of crab roe soup dumplings will naturally drop. With a group of people following suit and eating meat, it will be very difficult for crab roe soup dumplings to maintain their market share. Therefore, Heath thinks it would be better to continue his journey and go to Pallet Town to see Ash.
"You're really calm. If it were me, I would have opened a branch store long ago." Musashi clicked his tongue. Heath smiled but didn't reply. Instead, when no one was buying anything, he helped Farfetch'd serve the customers.
Musashi left quickly; her mission was complete, and she needed to prepare to return to Evergreen City as soon as possible. Boss Sakaki had other missions to assign her, but this time Boss Sakaki also said that he would assign Musashi a partner, which made Musashi somewhat dissatisfied. However, Musashi had no complaints about Sakaki; her complaints were all about the partner she had never met.
"Hmph, I'll show you the power of Team Rocket's Black Widow." Musashi walked down the road with disdain. She had already decided to teach her teammate, whom she hadn't even met yet, a painful lesson. However, out of respect for Boss Giovanni, she decided not to kill him this time, otherwise Musashi would also suffer the consequences.
Heath didn't notice when Musashi left. The business at the Farfetch'd restaurant was booming. Heath was busy until lunchtime, and there was still a queue. This made Heath wipe the sweat from his forehead. He had made a lot of crab roe soup dumplings to avoid yesterday's situation, but he didn't expect that it still wouldn't be enough and the crab roe soup dumplings were gone again.
Fortunately, Heath noticed this in advance and had Uncle Dali send over some more crabs. However, the price of crabs had risen considerably, and Heath realized that based on the purchase price and other costs, Heath could only make a small profit on each crab roe soup dumpling.
Fortunately, they could still make a profit by selling more. After a busy afternoon, Heath finally breathed a sigh of relief, put up the "Closed for Business" sign, and then drove his food truck toward the supermarket, where he needed to buy some necessities for his trip.
Heath didn't buy much this time, just some furniture. He also bought a sleeping mat for Snorlax from a Pokémon supplies vendor. Snorlax is too heavy, and although there were some Snorlax beds recommended, Heath chose a very large sleeping mat. This sleeping mat has a low-temperature protection design, which Heath is very satisfied with, since his Snorlax is a Snowman Snorlax, and this anti-freezing design is excellent.
After purchasing the furniture and essential household items she needed, Heath finished her shopping trip. However, as she was about to leave, she noticed a clearance sale area with a huge suitcase on display.
Driven by curiosity, Heath went over to take a look and discovered that what was called a suitcase was more like an enormous first-aid kit. It was designed for use by both humans and Pokémon and was extremely expensive. Even after a price reduction, the first-aid kit still cost 2,600 League Coins, and the complete kit cost a whopping 13,000 League Coins – an astronomical price.
"Hello sir~ Are you interested in this all-in-one first aid kit designed and launched by Dream Company?" The supermarket sales clerk was very enthusiastic and came over to recommend it after seeing that Heath had noticed the first aid kit.
"This first aid kit is a fantastic product! It's equipped with a lot of first aid equipment that both Pokémon and humans need, as well as some antidotes and such. But the main feature is the miniature operating table. In the wild, this mini operating table can handle surgical tasks!" The salesman was very enthusiastic. Heath smiled. This thing was kind of a double-edged sword. After all, only a few people in the Pokémon world needed to use this kind of thing. Many Pokémon have healing abilities, not to mention Pokémon Centers that offer free basic medical services.
Heath then understood why this item was on sale. With that in mind, Heath decided to buy it. After all, Heath needed to travel a long distance from the Indigo League to Pallet Town, and this first-aid kit would make his journey more convenient. In case of any unexpected situation, this item would come in handy.
It's always good to be prepared. In his previous life, Heath would buy a first-aid kit and keep it at home so that he could handle any problems he might encounter and not be at a loss.
……
With her purchases in hand, Heath took a deep breath. The journey to the Indigo League was over. Heath looked at the city beside her with a sense of loss, but she still sent a message to Lady Lancelot before leaving the city and embarking on her own journey. Heath's next stop was Pallet Town, but she would need to pass through Evergreen City along the way. Heath also prepared a small gift for Maple and the others.
"That little guy left really quickly. What a pity, such a skilled chef." Old Lady Jenny looked at the message Heath sent, pursed her lips, but still put down her phone and looked at Jenny sitting opposite her.
"So, Officer Sammo, let's continue with what we were just talking about. You mentioned your plans regarding Karenia, right?"
Chapter 263 Returning to Changqing City
The total distance from the Quartz Union to Evergreen is 515 kilometers. Given that Heath's food truck travels at an automatic speed of about 50 kilometers per hour, how long will it take Heath to reach Evergreen?
Anyway, by the time Heath arrived in Evergreen City, it was already the next day. Heath woke up after a nap, and as he did, he saw his food truck slowly driving into the city center. Looking at this familiar old city, Heath's mood calmed down. Heath woke up Farfetch'd and Zoroah, and then led the sleepy-eyed creatures to the living room.
Farfetch'd was brushing its teeth while yawning, and Zorua was doing the same. Charmeleon, on the other hand, was very energetic. However, Mew wasn't here today. Heath scratched his head. He hadn't informed Mew about this, but based on their previous experience, Mew should be able to come to him on its own, so Heath wasn't too worried about it.
Only Snorlax has a very unique way of brushing its teeth. Every time Snorlax brushes its teeth, it goes to the spot on the living room balcony where it washes the mop. There's no way around it, because Snorlax is too big. If Snorlax comes to the bathroom, then it can only wait until Heath and the others have finished brushing their teeth.
"We're going back to Evergreen City today, let's be open for business for one day." Heath chuckled and ruffled Farfetch'd's head. Farfetch seemed a little dazed from just waking up, so he nodded half-understandingly. It wasn't until he followed Heath to the familiar market that Farfetch realized what was happening and excitedly called out "Flypick, Flypick!"
The regulars at the market greeted Heath and the green onion duck warmly. They were genuinely pleasantly surprised to see them after so long.
Heath wasn't the type to pass by his own home without going in. If he passed by his home three times without going in, he would either be too ashamed to go home or simply not want to go home. Heath was actually looking forward to going home, so he greeted his familiar old friends with a smile, bought the ingredients he needed, and then glanced at his phone. There was still about an hour before Officer Jenny woke up. Heath planned to go to Officer Jenny's dormitory to make her a hearty breakfast before setting up his stall. Otherwise, Heath felt he would probably be scolded to death by the Officer Jenny.
Humming a little tune, Heath returned to her familiar path and saw the familiar dormitory area. Heath curiously peeked inside. Today, Officer Jenny was on duty. The most learned Officer Jenny was on duty diligently and did not relax or slack off just because no one was approaching the dormitory area.
"Sister Ling!" Heath greeted Officer Jenny happily. Officer Jenny looked at Heath with delight, but still smiled at him without coming down immediately. According to the rules of Officer Jenny, one cannot move while on duty, and Officer Jenny has always been a serious Officer Jenny.
Heath knew Lingjie's personality, so he parked the food cart directly behind the kitchen. This was the inner kitchen, and usually no one would come here except for the kitchen staff. Heath planned to give Officer Jenny a surprise. When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw the old chef preparing the ingredients. However, when the chef saw Heath, he stood up in surprise, and Heath happily took over the old chef's work.
Farfetch'd diligently assisted Heath, and even Charmeleon was called over by Heath to tend the fire. Cooking the large pot of food required precise control of the heat, and time flew by amidst the busy work. Soon, Officer Jenny arrived, yawning and carrying her own food bowls.
Heath found it somewhat amusing. Although he had been away for a while, it seemed that Officer Jenny had still maintained her habits. He wondered where these habits came from. Officer Jenny usually ate from enamel mugs, the kind that had been used in China for a while in his previous life. They had a very nostalgic feel to them. However, the mugs that Officer Jenny used all had the image of a Growlithe printed on them. But that was normal, since Growlithe was Officer Jenny's partner, and wild Growlithe were rarely seen in the League these days.
However, seeing a bunch of Officer Jennys bringing over those very retro-style mugs from his previous life to eat, Heath was still a little dumbfounded; he just couldn't get used to it.
"I have to practice again today, I'm so sleepy." Officer Jenny yawned, not noticing anything different about the man wearing a sanitary cap and mask at the cafeteria window. The first one to arrive was Officer Jenny. Heath's lips twitched. It was Officer Jenny, the veteran driver, who arrived first. However, Heath also noticed that Sister Feng was right behind Officer Jenny, which relieved Heath.
With Sister Feng in charge, Heath wasn't worried about Officer Jenny doing anything strange. Sister Feng's influence was very strong, and no one dared to provoke her.
"Old Joe~ What did you do today~" Officer Jenny said with a smile. Heath curled her lips. This guy, she was standing right in front of him and he still couldn't recognize her.
"I made hot and sour soup, and also crab roe soup dumplings, and boiled dumplings," Heath said calmly. Jun Sha Ling was stunned for a moment, then looked at Heath suspiciously. After hesitating for a while, Jun Sha Ling spoke again.
"What kind of dumplings are you talking about?" Officer Jenny asked in a rapid-fire manner.
"Chive and pork dumplings," Heath replied fluently.
"Nothing tastes better than dumplings, what's the next line?" Jun Shaling's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked another question.
"Nothing's more fun than your sister-in-law," Heath said with a chuckle. It was Heath who said this, but Officer Jenny used it to talk about it for half a year. However, hearing it again now still makes her feel nostalgic.
"Heath?" Officer Jenny said uncertainly. As Officer Jenny asked, Heath smiled and nodded. Officer Jenny was stunned for a moment. Heath's eyes went from shock to disbelief to joy as she looked at Officer Jenny. Then, Officer Jenny suddenly pushed open the cafeteria door and rushed over, hugged Heath, and took off Heath's sanitary cap and mask.
Officer Saria paused for a moment, then laughed happily. She then picked up Histo, holding him in a gesture reminiscent of the birth of the Lion King.
"Look, everyone! Our only man is back~" Jun Sha Ling shouted happily, and then the cafeteria fell silent for a while. But the sound wave that followed made Jun Sha Ling, who was still on duty waiting for her shift to change, smile. She shook her head and stood guard quietly. However, from Jun Sha Ling's excited eyes, it could be seen that Jun Sha Ling's mood was not so calm.
Chapter 264 News Brought by Sister Feng
"How long are you going to stay in Changqing City this time?" Jun Shafeng sat down directly opposite Heath and then slapped a key in front of him. Heath had put it there himself, because it would be troublesome for him to lose such a key, so he stubbornly placed it on the living room table in the dormitory along with his phone.
"Hmm... about a day? But Sister Feng, my food truck has been upgraded by the Siluf Company and is ready to be lived in." Heath looked at the key and scratched his head. After all, he was a man now, and it felt strange to live with a girl all the time.
Jun Shafeng stood with his arms crossed, saying nothing, just staring at Heath. Heath's lips twitched; it was that look of looking at a prisoner again. Heath couldn't withstand Jun Shafeng's pressure and could only pick up the key.
“Three days, you can continue your trip in three days.” Officer Safeng watched as Heath picked up the keys, then smiled with satisfaction. A smile appeared on her lips as she continued to state her conditions.
Heath scratched his head. Three days wasn't a problem. After all, he could stay in Evergreen for a week without any issues. But at the current pace, he still had to embark on his journey. Going to Pallet Town in three days wouldn't be bad either.
“Okay, then three days it is.” Heath picked up her chopsticks and began to eat her meal, but before she could eat, she saw Jun Shafeng take out the new phone that Heath had bought for her last time. Heath was stunned for a moment and looked at Jun Shafeng strangely.
“I really like the gift you gave me, but you don’t have much money, so you still need to save where you can.” Officer Jenny said calmly, and then started eating her meal. Heath smiled and nodded. Sister Feng is still Sister Feng; she wouldn’t do anything as dramatic as ‘I don’t want your gift.’
Heath ate his meal in a very comfortable and strange way. Even though the chairs in the Officers' Dining Hall were very hard, Heath felt a strange sense of peace and tranquility while eating there, as if his heart had calmed down. Heath knew that this was probably what it felt like to be home.
Officer Jenny and the other Officer Jennys came over with smiles to chat with Heath. Heath's meal was frequently interrupted. Eventually, Sister Feng couldn't stand it anymore and coughed, which calmed everyone down a bit.
"By the way, do you still remember your parents?" Jun Shafeng suddenly asked. She had finished her breakfast and was wiping her mouth with a napkin.
Heath paused for a second upon hearing this, then silently shook his head. Although he was a transmigrator, he had actually transmigrated from another time. He came here after that unlucky brat died, was burned in a fire, but was rescued by Officer Jenny and survived by some twist of fate.
However, Heath had no memory of that. Miss Joy's diagnosis was that the pain was so intense that the brain automatically blocked out that memory.
Anyway, the mysterious realm of the brain is a forbidden zone for scientific exploration, even in the world of Pokémon. This statement saved Heath a lot of trouble. However, after growing up, Heath found that he seemed to have traveled with his own body, because he now looked exactly like his graduation photo from his senior year of high school.
"According to our investigation... well, anyway... we found one of your parents' houses... they used fake... cough cough... anyway, that house is yours now, didn't you pay off your debts?" Jun Sha Feng scratched her head, speaking with great pain. Heath looked at her and wanted to laugh. Feng Jie probably didn't want to tell him that her parents were biker thieves, but finding a house was a pleasant surprise.
Then Heath received a bag containing the property deed and some other things, such as keys.
“This house is in Ziyuan Town. Because the water and electricity bills hadn’t been paid for a long time, the water and electricity department came to investigate and slowly found out that it was bought by your parents. You just need to pay the outstanding water and electricity bills of more than 1,300 yuan.” Jun Shafeng was much more normal now. It seemed that she had found an excuse to hide it.
Heath nodded. A little over 1,300 wasn't a lot, considering it had been overdue for a very long time.
Jun Shafeng glanced at Heath again, which puzzled Heath. He scratched his face, wondering if he hadn't washed his face that morning. But that shouldn't be the case; he always washed his face very thoroughly that morning.
"Ziyuan Town is quite nice... What are your plans for the future?" Officer Jenny was silent for a while before asking. The Officers had already slowly left the canteen; it was almost time for their mission.
Heath looked at Officer Jenny with surprise, but he sensed what his sister was thinking. Although Officer Jenny and Heath were not related by blood, in fact, Officer Jenny and all the Officer Jennys here regarded Heath as a younger brother, except for Officer Jenny, the old driver, who always liked to make some dirty jokes to Heath.
“Of course I’ll go take a look, then sell the house and go back to Evergreen City. I’m not used to living in Purple Garden Town.” Heath smiled, and Officer Jenny’s eyes lit up. She hid her inner joy, calmly nodded, then put on her Officer Jenny hat and went out.
Heath looked at the file bag in his hand. Lavender Town was actually a very nice city because it had the largest Pokémon graveyard and Pokémon Tower in the Kanto region. So, the housing prices in Lavender Town were quite expensive because many wealthy people would choose to live in Lavender Town after their beloved Pokémon died, to accompany their Pokémon and spend the rest of their lives there.
Although there aren't many people like that, there are bound to be one or two in such a large area as Kanto. So the house in Lavender Town is really nice. Heath just wanted to see if there was anything in that room that he needed to retrieve. The parents of the biker thief probably have some kind of treasure map, right?
Heath yawned, then helped the old lady who was washing dishes tidy up the dishes before returning to the food truck with his Pokémon. He planned to set up a stall today; it had been a long time since he had set up a stall in Evergreen City, and he was quite excited about it.
"Phew... It's been so long since I've seen everyone... Hmm, thinking about it, it doesn't seem like it's been that long?" Heath stretched. It didn't seem like he'd been to the Quartz Federation for very long, but that was fine too. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder, but a long absence isn't like a long absence; it's like an old man has been gone for a long time.
"Let's go, Farfetch'd! Today we'll take our food truck to serve our regular customers." Heath chuckled as he drove the food truck toward his usual spot, Farfetch'd calling out happily.
Chapter 265 Mr. Fujiyama used a bare-handed chop
The familiar location, the familiar place, Heath is back at his stall again. This time, however, Heath is in a good mood. Crabs with roe are very cheap in Evergreen City this season. The crab roe soup dumplings that were a hit in the Quartz League haven't spread here. Heath plans to have Farfetch'd make crab roe soup dumplings again. However, considering the population of Evergreen City, Heath didn't buy many crabs this time.
