Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

“Cough, cough ~ ~”

“Cough, cough ~ ~”

Just as An Jie was interacting with the Camerupt and Rockruff, two Swinub suddenly came over, biting An Jie's clothes and dragging him to the side.

“What's wrong, Swinub?” An Jie asked, puzzled.

“Cough ~”

“Cough ~”

The two Swinub continued to pull An Jie with all their might.

An Jie suddenly understood, “Did you find new ingredients again?”

“Cough ~”

“Cough ~”

Seeing that An Jie understood them, the two Swinub excitedly jumped up and down.

“Quick, take me there!” An Jie himself was eager to try.

“Cough ~”

“Cough ~”

The two Swinub quickly turned their heads and ran in one direction. An Jie quickly followed and waved goodbye to the Camerupt and the others:

“Camerupt, Rockruff, Midday Lycanroc, goodbye, be careful next time!”

“Ba oh ~”

“Woof woof ~”

“Awoo ~”

The three Pokémon called out in response to An Jie, also saying goodbye.

Greavard stood at the feet of the Espathra, patting its long legs with his hand.

“Boo ~ Boo ~” Were they talking about something delicious just now?

“Hiss ru ~ ~” Yes.

Espathra nodded.

“Boo! ! !”

Greavard's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran after An Jie's butt.

Espathra shook its head helplessly as it watched its back, then carried Pepe and slowly followed with Mabosstiff.

Led by the two Swinub, An Jie and the others arrived at a sparse grassland, where a plant with leaves attached to the ground grew.

“This… isn't this shepherd's purse?” An Jie said with surprise on his face.

Greavard ran over and hugged An Jie's calf, looking up and asking, “Boo ~ Boo ~” Shepherd's purse? Is it delicious?

An Jie squatted down, rubbed Greavard's head, "There will be something delicious tonight!"

An Jie quickly said, “Hey, hey ~ You picked the wrong one, that's just ordinary weeds!” As he said that, he picked a shepherd's purse and showed it to Greavard, “This is shepherd's purse!”

“Boo ~”

Greavard quickly threw away the weeds in his hand and bent down to pick another one from his feet to show An Jie.

An Jie smiled and said, “This time it's right!”

Greavard immediately continued to bend down and pick it up happily.

Pepe also got off Espathra at this time, "I'll help too."

So a group of people began to pick happily.

Shepherd's purse was everywhere on this grassland, although it was mixed with other wild vegetables, the quantity was not much.

An Jie said to everyone while picking, “You pick the tender ones, don't pick the ones that have flowered and grown moss.”

As he spoke, he pointed to a shepherd's purse that had already grown moss and flowered for everyone to see.

“Boo ~” Got it!

“Okay!”

“Hiss ru ~” Hmm, hmm ~

… …

Everyone nodded in response to An Jie.

Soon An Jie and the others collected a large basket of shepherd's purse, especially Espathra. It used its superpower to collect a piece at a time, and the total amount collected was more than An Jie and the others combined.

Seeing that it was getting late, An Jie put the full basket into the system space and said to Pepe and the Pokémon, “We should go back, otherwise it will be dark!”

Because of the special terrain of Area Zero, the daytime is much shorter than the night, and it gets dark very early.

“Coming!”

Pepe was the first to run to An Jie's side and nimbly got on Espathra's back.

So a group of people walked back mightily. When passing the entrance and exit of Area Zero, the guard saw that An Jie had returned safely and breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It's good that you are safe and sound. If it had been later, I would have taken people in to find you.”

An Jie said embarrassedly, “I accidentally forgot the time and made you worry.”

The guard smiled and nodded, “In short, it's good that you're okay. Don't delay for so long next time. The Pokémon in the lower levels are not easy to mess with.”

A considerable part of them, even they dare not easily provoke.

An Jie nodded, “Got it.”

As he said that, he waved goodbye to the guards.

When they returned to Observation Station No. 1 in the upper level, the sun had just begun to set. Diancie, like at noon, had already set up the tables and chairs, waiting for An Jie and the others to come back to cook.

An Jie walked up to Diancie and asked, “How was the experiment in the afternoon?”

Diancie replied, “It's almost over.”

An Jie smiled and nodded: “That's good, let's start cooking, let's eat something fresh tonight.”

“What to eat?” Diancie became interested.

An Jie replied: “Dumplings! I picked wild shepherd's purse today, let's make dumplings!” As he said that, he took the basket containing the shepherd's purse out of his backpack.

Diancie had never eaten dumplings before. It picked up a shepherd's purse from the basket and asked, “Are dumplings delicious?”

An Jie mysteriously said: “You will know when you eat them.”

Diancie curled her lips: “If you don’t tell me, you don’t tell me.”

Then An Jie summoned Munchlax and Sizzlipede from home.

Recently, Munchlax has been finishing the work at home early every day, cooking for the Pokémon at home, and then sitting on the steps at the door waiting for his master's summons.

Not only is he busy and diligent himself, but he also keeps urging Sizzlipede to join him. Sizzlipede is almost driven crazy by him.

As soon as he arrived at An Jie's side, Munchlax threw himself into An Jie's arms and acted like a spoiled child.

“Gun ~ Gun ~” Master, I haven't seen you for half a day, I miss you so much!

An Jia patted the back of its head dotingly, “Okay, okay, Master misses you too!”

Hearing this, Munchlax felt very happy.

An Jie: “Okay, let’s start cooking!”

“Gun ~ Gun ~”

Having just been filled with energy from his master, Munchlax was full of energy and raised his fist in response to An Jie.

Then it seemed to remember something, and groped around on its belly for a while, and soon took out two Poké Balls.

“Gun ~” Master, for you!

Munchlax handed the Poké Balls to An Jie. After An Jie opened them, two Charcadet came out of them.

“Charcadet, how do you feel at home?” An Jie asked with a smile.

“Chakka ~”

“Kacha ~”

The two Charcadet were very happy, holding hands and circling around An Jie.

They liked the new home very much. Not only was everyone very friendly to them, but the house they lived in was also very comfortable. They no longer had to worry about getting wet in the rain.

There were also charcoal basins in their room specially arranged by Munchlax at An Jie's request. There was charcoal in the basins, and they could sleep on the charcoal.

The high temperature they brought with them could ignite the charcoal, and the burning charcoal would provide them with energy. It was so comfortable to sleep in the charcoal basin.

An Jie said with a smile: “It’s good that you like it. I’ll have to trouble you to help with cooking again today.”

“Chakka ~”

“Chakka ~”

The two Charcadet nodded vigorously.

Then An Jie began to assign tasks.

“Munchlax, would you please help knead some dough?”

“Gun ~”

Snorlax nodded with a determined look, as if receiving a major mission, and carried a bag of flour and water to a nearby table to get busy.

“Pepper, you, Diancie, and Swadloon, go pick the shepherd's purse together,” Ange continued.

“No problem!”

“Okay!”

“Swa!”

Pepper, Diancie, and Swadloon answered simultaneously.

Finally, Ange looked at Sizzlipede and said, “Sizzlipede, you're in charge of washing the vegetables.”

“Sizzle~” Leave it to me!

Sizzlipede confidently made an OK gesture towards Ange, then picked up a basin and walked to his side, extending a finger to pour water into the basin.

As for Espathra, Oinkologne, and Mabosstiff, they just had to wait to eat.

The two Charcadets didn't need to be busy for the time being either.

After assigning the tasks, Ange released the Capsakid family of five, letting them play on the nearby grass and get acquainted with everyone.

Ange himself then walked to another table, took out a large piece of pork, and placed it on the cutting board. What he wanted to make today was pork and shepherd's purse dumplings.

Ange took out a knife and first finely sliced the meat, then minced it into ground meat.

Since it was for making dumplings, the ground meat didn't need to be minced too finely.

In his previous life, the frozen dumplings Ange bought from the supermarket had meat that was ground by machine, minced into a paste, with no soul at all.

Ange felt that hand-minced meat, with a bit of grainy texture, tasted the best.

Once the meat was minced, Diancie and the others had also finished picking the shepherd's purse.

Seeing this, Ange said to the Charcadets, “Could I trouble you to boil a pot of hot water?”

“Char-cha~”

“Char-cha~”

The two Charcadets nodded repeatedly and quickly ran to the bottom of the pot Ange had prepared, their bodies surging with red flames.

Ange himself then put the washed shepherd's purse into water with salt.

The salt was the Rock Salt Titan's rock salt. Ange felt that after the shepherd's purse soaked in the salt water, its color seemed even brighter, simply lush and vibrant.

After the water boiled, he put the soaked shepherd's purse into the pot to blanch it. After about 30 seconds, he took it out, then let it dry and drain, and then chopped it up for later use.

Next was processing the meat filling.

He added the Rock Salt Titan's rock salt, oyster sauce, eggs, pepper, light soy sauce, and starch to the meat filling, mixed it evenly, and then added scallions and ginger in batches, continuing to stir until the meat filling gained strength.

At this time, Pepper, Sizzlipede, Diancie, and Swadloon, who had already finished their work, all gathered around. Swadloon was too short, so it strained to stand on tiptoe, but still couldn't see. Helpless, Diancie had to pick it up and hold it in her arms.

“Swa~”

Swadloon happily kicked its legs twice in Diancie's arms.

Seeing that Sizzlipede and Pepper were watching attentively, Ange began to introduce the steps of seasoning the filling in detail to them, and the Trainer and Pokémon listened with great interest.

After the pork filling was seasoned, he added the previously chopped shepherd's purse and an appropriate amount of Orthworm oil, stirring thoroughly until well combined.

“Snorlax, is the dough kneaded?” Ange called out to Snorlax, putting the seasoned filling aside.

“Snore~ Snore~” It's done! It's done!

Snorlax came over with a basin of dough, taking small steps.

“Okay, let's roll out the dumpling wrappers!”

With that, Ange walked to another table, sprinkled some flour on the table, took the dough from Snorlax's hand and put it on it, then kneaded it into a long strip and cut it into evenly sized pieces with a knife.

He bought a rolling pin from the system shop, and then started to get busy.

Ange's skill in rolling out dumpling wrappers was superb. In a short while, dumpling wrappers of almost the same size came out, thick in the middle and thin on both sides, truly top-quality dumpling wrappers.

Watching Ange's neat movements, Snorlax was filled with admiration and quickly said:

“Snore~ Snore~” Master, let me try! Let me try!

Ange readily handed the rolling pin to it, “Okay, you try!”

Snorlax excitedly took the rolling pin, recalling Ange's movements, and started rolling with great interest.

Because it didn't get the hang of it, the first dumpling wrapper Snorlax rolled out was not only strangely shaped but also had several holes.

“Sizzle~ Sizzle~” Hahaha~ So ugly!

Sizzlipede unceremoniously laughed at Snorlax.

Ange said, “Why don't you try it too?”

Sizzlipede showed a confident expression.

“Sizzle~ Sizzle~” Can't stump me, I'm awesome!

Ange: “Okay, then let me see how awesome you are!” With that, he bought another rolling pin for Sizzlipede.

Facts proved that Sizzlipede was not better than Snorlax. The first dumpling wrapper it rolled out was also strangely shaped and full of holes.

“Snore~ Snore~” Hahaha~~ Look at you!

This time it was Snorlax's turn to laugh at Sizzlipede.

“Now you know it's not easy, right?” Ange said with a smile, and then he began to teach the two disciples the tricks.

Both Pokémon were very perceptive, and soon they successfully rolled out the dumpling wrappers. Although they were not as good-looking as Ange's, there was no difference in use.

Ange said: “Okay, then the task of rolling out the dumpling wrappers is left to you, let's wrap the dumplings.”

“Snore!” Snorlax nodded.

“Sizzle~” Sizzlipede gave Ange a thumbs up.

Ange laid out the dumpling wrappers one by one, added an appropriate amount of dumpling filling, and began to wrap them skillfully. In almost the blink of an eye, a good-looking dumpling was wrapped.

The dumplings were chubby, and the pleats on them were as beautiful as a skirt, even and neat.

“Is this a dumpling?” Diancie carefully picked up the dumpling Ange had wrapped with her hands, her eyes full of surprise, “It's so pretty!”

Swadloon was also full of curiosity and reached out to poke the dumpling's belly, but Diancie slapped his hand away.

“Don't touch it, be careful you break it!”

(ó﹏ò) Swadloon covered his hand with a aggrieved expression.

“Brother Ange, can I help too?” Pepper asked.

“Of course, I'll teach you.” With that, Ange explained the steps to Pepper while wrapping.

Pepper was still very talented. Under Ange's guidance, he soon wrapped his first dumpling. Although it was not as good-looking as Ange's, it was at least decent, and the dumpling wrapper was not broken.

Ange praised: “Not bad, practice more and you can wrap them even better.”

“Yeah, I know.” Pepper nodded happily and continued to wrap the second one. Because he was a novice, he wrapped very slowly.

Ange's hand speed was very fast, and one good-looking dumpling after another took shape. He glanced at Pepper from time to time, and seeing that Pepper was wrapping well, he concentrated on wrapping his own.

Soon the dumpling wrappers were rolled out by Snorlax and Sizzlipede, and Ange began to teach the two disciples how to wrap dumplings. They couldn't wrap well at first, but as one strangely shaped dumpling after another was born, they gradually got the hang of it.
