Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

Because the late-night snack he was preparing wasn't complicated, An Jie didn't ask his apprentices for help, but instead told them to sit in the dining room and wait to eat.

After entering the kitchen, he prepared the necessary ingredients one by one.

Warm water, rock salt, soy sauce, Oran Berry oil, and so on, and finally the most important ingredient—Chansey's egg.

That's right, what An Jie was going to make was steamed egg custard.

He had been reluctant to eat the Chansey eggs he bought from Zaokou City, but today, to comfort his sad apprentices, he was finally willing to take them out!

Chansey's eggs are very large, almost the size of an ostrich egg that An Jie had seen in his previous life, so he only took 3 out of the 5, and kept the other 2 for later.

Late-night snacks shouldn't be too much anyway.

Actually, 3 was already a lot, enough to make a lot of egg custard, but after all, there was Snorlax, the big eater, and Spoink, the glutton, so 3 was only barely enough.

After preparing the ingredients, An Jie started to get busy.

The first step was to beat the eggs.

Gently crack open the Chansey eggshell and pour the egg liquid inside into a bowl. Just one egg filled most of a large bowl.

An Jie took out chopsticks and stirred, breaking up the egg white and yolk, and adding an appropriate amount of rock salt.

The force of stirring the egg liquid should be moderate. Don't beat it too hard, otherwise the steamed egg custard will have air bubbles, which will affect the taste and appearance.

After the egg liquid was beaten, the second step was to add warm water.

The ratio of warm water to egg liquid is best at 1:1 or 1:1.5. Note that warm water must be used. Tap water and boiling water are not suitable, especially boiling water.

Stir the egg liquid and water thoroughly to make them blend together.

Next is the third step, filtering the egg liquid.

Pour the stirred egg liquid through a sieve and back into the bowl. This can remove any unbeaten egg tendons and air bubbles, making the steamed egg custard smoother and more delicate.

Of course, if you find it troublesome, this step can be omitted, although it will slightly affect the taste.

An Jie has always disliked cutting corners in cooking, so this step is a must for him.

These porcelain cups were bought by An Jie from the system store. The pure white porcelain is patterned with blue crane and auspicious cloud patterns, which are elegant and simple. An Jie likes them very much.

The water in the steamer was bubbling and rolling, and the steam was rising. An Jie waited quietly.

At this moment, he felt something hug him. He looked down and saw that it was Spoink.

"Didn't I tell you to wait in the dining room? Why did you run in here?"

"Spoink~ Spoink~"

Spoink hugged An Jie's calf like a koala, trying hard to look at the stove to see what delicious food An Jie was making.

An Jie bent down to pick it up and said helplessly, "Why are you so greedy!"

About 15 minutes later, the egg custard was steamed. An Jie opened the steamer, lifted the lids of the porcelain cups, and sprinkled black sesame seeds or finely chopped green onions into each cup. The Pokémon could choose whether to sprinkle sesame seeds or green onions according to their own tastes.

After doing all this, An Jie took out a tray, put on gloves, took out the porcelain cups from the steamer, put them on the tray one by one, then carried them into the dining room, and shouted loudly, "Late-night snack is here!"

Spoink couldn't wait to chase An Jie out.

Seeing An Jie coming out of the kitchen, Diancie and the others were about to get up to help carry it, but An Jie quickly said, "Sit down, sit down, you don't need to help."

Hearing this, Diancie and the others had no choice but to sit back down one by one.

An Jie placed a cup of egg custard in front of Snorlax, Diancie, Drizzile, Komala, and Metagross respectively.

A layer of golden oil floated on the yellow-white egg custard in the porcelain cup, dotted with black sesame seeds or verdant green onions, making it look pleasing to the eye.

A faint fragrance rose with the heat and slowly diffused in the dining room. The Pokémon swallowed subconsciously.

The egg custard that had just been placed down trembled and shook slightly, and you could imagine how tender and smooth it was just by looking at it.

Spoink also jumped onto the chair next to Metagross in a puff of smoke, stood upright, tiptoed, put its two front paws on the table, and waited eagerly for An Jie.

Because it was too short, it couldn't reach it, so it simply climbed onto the table.

As soon as An Jie put the porcelain cup in front of it, it couldn't wait to reach out to hold it, and An Jie quickly reminded, "Be careful, it's hot!"

"Hiss~ Hiss~"

As soon as An Jie finished speaking, Spoink quickly retracted its hand because it was burned, and kept blowing on its fingers.

An Jie said reproachfully, "Did you get burned? Why are you in such a hurry? Look at who is like you?"

Spoink smiled flatteringly at An Jie. This time, it finally learned to be good and no longer directly held the porcelain cup with its hands, but picked up a spoon and tasted it carefully.

Spoink's appearance reminded An Jie of Snorlax when it first came to the house. At that time, as soon as it heard that there was something delicious, it would be as impatient as Spoink, very anxious.

However, after staying at home for a long time and eating more delicious food, although Snorlax is still a big eater, it is no longer as anxious as before.

Look now, it gently blows on the porcelain cup, then picks up the spoon next to it, scoops up a piece, and puts it in its mouth unhurriedly.

As soon as the tender and smooth egg custard enters the mouth, its delicate texture, smooth taste, and faint fragrance sway in the mouth as if dancing, as silky as water flowing through fingertips. This fragrance is neither strong nor does it make people feel bland.

Just right!

Snorlax closed its eyes happily, held its cheeks with both hands, and the satisfaction on its face made An Jie call it cute in his heart.

Diancie, Komala, Drizzile, and Metagross couldn't wait to taste it at this time, and they were immediately conquered.

An Jie himself also sat down, put one of the cups in front of him, took out a spoon, and scooped up a piece into his mouth.

At the moment of entry, he was amazed.

Egg custard is delicious, and An Jie liked it very much in his previous life, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious! Is this still an ordinary egg custard?

Yes! This egg custard is not ordinary. Although its method is simple, its main ingredient is Chansey's egg, which is delicious and nutritious, plus the rock salt of Salt Cure Alolan Golem to enhance the flavor, and Oran Berry oil to add fragrance, so this deliciousness is magnified several times.

The final result is the explosively delicious egg custard in front of An Jie!

Sure enough, the saying that the best ingredients only need the simplest cooking methods is correct!

Unconsciously, An Jie accelerated the speed of eating egg custard.

"Gura~" Another bowl!

"Spoink~ Spoink~" More! More!

At this time, Snorlax and Spoink had quickly finished a cup and shouted to An Jie, holding the shining porcelain cup that had been licked clean.

"Okay, okay!"

An Jie gave them each another cup with a doting look on his face.

Before long, Diancie finished her serving, delicately wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her posture elegant.

"This is delicious. I like it," she said to Anji.

Anji said helplessly, "As delicious as it is, we can't eat it every day. Ingredients of this level are hard to come by."

"That's true," Diancie nodded.

"Would you like another serving?" Anji asked.

"No, one serving is enough," Diancie shook her head. Unlike Munchlax and the others, even if she liked it, she didn't want to eat too much so late in the evening.

That would be unbecoming of her royal lady status.

Anji didn't insist upon hearing this, as he had only eaten one serving himself.

"Ghastly ~" I want more too!

At this moment, Gengar also raised his empty porcelain bowl and spoke.

Hearing this, Diancie got up from her chair, "I'll get it for you." With that, she went into the kitchen.

Soon, the dozen or so steamed egg custards that Anji had prepared were completely devoured, with Munchlax eating the most, followed by Budew, then Sliggoo, Metagross, Gengar, and Komala, with Anji and Diancie eating the least.

If Budew's stomach wasn't so small, Anji suspected she would have eaten even more than Munchlax.

With the healing power of delicious food, Munchlax, Sliggoo, and Gengar's moods improved as expected.

After washing all the dishes and chopsticks, Anji and the others returned to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, bright sunlight shone on the Nibel Plateau, and a new day began.

The Swellow family and the Fletchinder family spread their wings and flew to the east and west sides of the Nibel Plateau respectively. Today, they were officially taking office as the Sky Patrol, and they were all very excited.

"Ya ma ~ Ya ma ~ ~"

Fletchinder quickly flapped its wings across the sky, with Talonflame and Staraptor following closely behind.

"Chiru ~ Chiru ~"

Swablu also sang a melodious song as it flew into the clouds, and two Altaria waved their cloud-like wings and soared into the sky.

They overlooked the Nibel Plateau and could see patches of fruit trees, neat wooden houses, Anji jogging below, and busy Pokémon.

On the fifth floor of the Secret Fortress, the Remoraid were like sharp arrows, jumping into the waterway one after another, rushing upstream to Lake Nibel, and leading the Goldeen, Seaking, Magikarp, and Feebas toward the Great Falls.

Today's challenge was about to begin!

Diancie had already come early in the morning to feed them.

Politoed and Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Azurill, and Marill woke up long after the Remoraid had left. They leisurely went to Diancie's cafeteria for breakfast before going to work at the fish farm.

Poliwhirl sat squatting on the lotus leaves, watching the surface of the lake intently.

Poliwag swam back and forth in the water, checking the growth of the fish.

Poliwrath stood on the iron stakes like warriors, overlooking the situation below, guarding the Poliwhirl and Poliwag.

After breakfast, the Croagunk, Buneary, Pachirisu, Sawsbuck, and Diggersby also went to their respective posts.

The Sawsbuck and Diggersby came to the chicken coop and sprinkled millet into the basins. The chicks immediately rushed over to peck at it.

They recalled the teachings of their teacher Metagross, knowing that they couldn't feed the chicks too much food, otherwise, the chicks would keep eating until they were full, and might even die from overeating.

After the millet was eaten, the two Pokémon fed them water, and then Diggersby opened the door of the chicken feed, planning to let the chicks out for a walk.

However, these chicks were a bit dull. Even though Diggersby had opened the door, they didn't come out.

Did they want to lie down and sleep after eating their fill? Diggersby recalled that when he was full, he really wanted to find a burrow to take a nap. Could it be that the chicks were the same?

But he couldn't let the chicks sleep.

"Digby ~ Digby ~"

Diggersby called out to Sawsbuck twice.

Sawsbuck understood and jumped over the fence, easily jumping into the chicken coop. The chicks were immediately frightened and screamed as they ran out.

As soon as the chicks left the coop, Diggersby quickly chased after them, and Sawsbuck also jumped out of the chicken coop, quickly striding to catch up.

Because it was the first time herding chickens, the two Pokémon had no experience, and dozens of chicks scattered and fled. Fortunately, Unfezant passed by and chased after the chicks at an extremely fast speed, gathering them all into one area.

"Digby ~ Digby ~"

"Yaw ~ Yaw ~"

Diggersby and Sawsbuck expressed their gratitude to Unfezant, and then herded the chicks around the grassland.

After herding for a while, they gained experience and gradually became less flustered than at the beginning.

In comparison, Buneary, who herded cattle, and Pachirisu, who herded sheep, were much more relaxed.

Buneary had watched too much TV and braided a small straw hat out of grass to wear on her head, dressing up as a cowherd rabbit. She also made a small whip out of vines.

After releasing the two calves, the calves were slow and didn't run around, automatically looking for places with lush grass and starting to graze.

So Buneary climbed onto the back of one of the calves and sat leisurely on it, extremely relaxed. If any of the calves wanted to run elsewhere, she would flick her little whip, and the calves would immediately listen obediently.

Pachirisu was the same. She was even more relaxed than Buneary, sitting on the back of a lamb. If any of the lambs dared to run around, she would shoot a bolt of lightning at it, and the lambs would immediately be obedient, going wherever she wanted them to go.

Seeing this scene, Buneary was very envious. She looked at the little whip in her hand and began to seriously consider it.

Should I learn electric-type skills from Pachirisu?

Of course, the most miserable was still Croagunk.

After feeding the piglets, he also released the piglets. Teacher Metagross said that the piglets should be walked around more so that the meat would be delicious.

But the piglets were too lively. As soon as they left the pigpen, they began to run wildly. Croagunk followed behind them, chasing them for two miles before the piglets stopped.

After spending a great deal of effort to restrain them, Croagunk led them to a mud pit. The piglets immediately couldn't wait to jump in, rolling around and splashing mud all over Croagunk.

Croagunk: When can I transfer to be a guard!

After the piglets finished frolicking in the mud pit, Croagunk drove them out, planning to take them to the river for a bath, only to get covered in mud again.

In the end, he bathed in the river with the piglets. One of the piglets almost ran into the deep water and drowned, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and rescued it.

Raising pigs is really not easy!
