The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 64 Preserved Eggs and Salted Duck Eggs
"Take good care of Meowth."

After arriving home, Angel gave today's salary to Meowth, and also gave Meowth the Pokémon food that Miss Joy gave to Meowth.

"Meow~"

Psyche Meowth nodded vigorously, then took Meowth back to the secret fortress.

After arriving home, it put Meow Meow on the bed, covered it with a quilt, and then lay down beside the bed.

Looking at Meowth's peaceful sleeping face, Super Meowth showed a relieved smile.

Meowth remembered its childhood, when it was picked up by the Rotten Wood Demon and brought back to the Nibel Plateau, and then settled down on the Nibel Plateau.

Moomin still remembers that it was a rainy night. When it was still an egg, it somehow fell into the fast-flowing Nibel River.

It was at this time that it hatched.

Because it was too small, it was swayed from side to side by the current and was about to drown. A rotten wood demon that passed by stretched out a branch and saved it.

After being rescued, Super Meowth, which was still Meowth at the time, developed a high fever. The Wood Demon took it home and took good care of it for a long time before it recovered.

Meowth didn't know where he came from, so he lived with the Wood Demon.

The Rotten Wood Demon is the elder of the Nibel Plateau and was once one of the guardians of the Nibel Plateau. Unfortunately, it was too old and died not long after picking up Meowth.

Since then, Meetiwog has lived alone, but it has inherited Bokuto's legacy and has been doing its best to help all Pokémon in need on the plateau.

Recalling the past, MoeMeow lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

In its dream, it seemed to have met the rotten wood demon again, and a smile appeared unconsciously on the corners of its mouth.

------

After sending Meowth away, Angel opened the system because he seemed to have received a prompt from the system when Snorlax's house was closing today.

Sure enough, the moment the system was turned on, a pop-up window popped up.

"Congratulations to the master for entertaining 10000 Pokémon in total. You will receive achievement rewards: Constitution +5, Intelligence +5."

Anjie was delighted as there was a new achievement reward, and both his physique and intelligence increased by 5 points.

As the difficulty of achieving achievements increases, the rewards Anjie receives become richer and richer.

He opened his personal information interface and saw that the information on it had been updated.

Anjie
Race: human
Sex: Male
Age: 16 (+500)
Constitution: 30
Intelligence: 17
Cooking skills review: A edible dish for beginners.

Unconsciously, his physical fitness points had increased to 30 points. Angel clenched his fists and felt that he seemed to have grown a lot stronger recently and his height had also increased a little.

When he first came to the Nibel Plateau, he was only 1.8 meters tall, but now he is at least 1.83 meters tall.

"Little Kirby!"

After feeling the changes in his body, Angel shouted loudly to the outside.

"Gang~Gang~" Master, what are you doing!

The little Snorlax came running over with its short legs.

"Let's have a sparring match?" Angel said.

"Gang~Gang~Gang~~" Do you want to learn cooking skills? Okay, okay, let me show you the results of my recent training!

Snorlax clenched his fists, with a high-spirited expression on his face.

My little Snorlax is going to defeat the strong today!

As soon as Angie saw Snorlax's expression, he knew that it had misunderstood, so he held its fist and said, "I'm talking about a battle competition."

()???
A big question mark appeared on Snorlax's face.

Master, what did you say? A battle? You can fight? How come I don't know?
Seeing the little Snorlax standing there in a daze, Angel grabbed its hand and walked outside. He didn't know how to fight, but he could practice. Otherwise, what would he do if he was kidnapped again in the future and no one saved him!
However, it seems unlikely that no one will rescue him, because he can summon Diancie and the others to his side at any time.

But it's always good to have many skills.

Little Snorlax was foolishly dragged by Angel to the grass outside.

The Teary-Eye is playing with other Pokémon on the wall.

It placed small stones on the wall, then stood far away and pointed a finger at the pebbles.

"Hey~"

It simulated the sound of a pistol shot out with its mouth, and a stream of water shot out from its fingertips (water gun skill), accurately hitting a small stone and smashing it to pieces.

The tearful lizard pretended to put its finger to its mouth and blew gently.

How about "Mee Sweep~"? Are you stunned by me?

The Pokémon watching immediately cheered and applauded, and the Tears Lizard became even more proud when he saw this.

“Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~~~”

It fired out three more streams of water in succession, each one hitting the target accurately.

After shooting, the tearful lizard retracted his arm, put the pistol hand gesture at the temple, posed in a cool pose, and asked everyone: "Mee Sweep~Mee Sweep~" Am I handsome? Am I handsome?
Everyone was very respectful and kept praising it for being handsome.

The tearful lizard was already so dazed by the praise that it ran around excitedly on the wall, just like a puppy begging for praise.

At this time, it saw Angel and the little Snorlax walking towards it, so it ran to the entrance of the wall and said, "Mee Saw~Mee Saw~" Angel, where are you going?
"I'm going to compete with Snorlax." Angie answered and continued walking forward.

"Competition?" The tearful lizard looked puzzled, jumped off the wall and chased after Angel.

Seeing that there was nothing more fun to watch, the other Pokémon followed suit.

Angie and Snorlax came to an open space and stood on both sides. Angie bent his legs slightly and took a fighting posture.

"Little Snorlax, come over here!"

Snorlax is still in a state of confusion. Let him come? What horse should he let come?

Everyone surrounded Angie and Snorlax at this time, but they also didn't understand what Angie meant for a moment.

Angie yelled, "Little Snorlax, swing your fist at me!"

Snorlax was frightened and subconsciously rushed towards Angel with his fist raised.

Bang!
Snorlax and Angie collided with each other, and the hands of each Pokémon were pinched together, but to the surprise of all the Pokémon, Angie did not retreat at all, and actually fought with Snorlax on equal terms.

At this moment, Diancie pushed through the group of Pokémon and squeezed into the encirclement, and saw the shocking scene in front of it.

This... is this still the Prince Anjie that it knows?
Although it knew that Angel's physical fitness would get better and better as his physique increased, it never expected that he had already reached the point where he could compete with Snorlax.

Even Snorlax was confused.

The master actually took his attack. Although he didn't use any skills, he is a Pokémon and the master is a human!
At this moment, Angie shouted to it, "Little Snorlax, didn't you have breakfast? How come you only have so little strength?"

"Just now?" Master, you were looking down on me just now!

At this moment, the originally cute little Snorlax's eyes became a little sharper.

"Gang~" it yelled, grabbed Angie's waist and tried to knock him down.

Angie also subconsciously hugged Snorlax's waist, but Snorlax's belly was too round, so Angie couldn't hug it and could only grab the fur on both sides of its waist.

The master and the apprentice were competing with each other, and both wanted to throw the other down, but they were holding each other's waist, and neither could do anything to the other. "Mee Sweep~Mee Sweep~" Come on, Anjie! Come on, Snorlax!

Teary took the lead in cheering for the master and his apprentice. Seeing this, other Pokémon also cheered for their respective supporters. Some supported Ange, some supported Snorlax, and some, like Teary, supported both sides.

The tree-pillowed bear rolled into the encirclement at some point. Its eyes were closed and it seemed like it was still sleeping soundly. No one knew what it was here for.

However, the frequency of its shaking at this time inexplicably matched the cheers of everyone.

Finally, Angie couldn't hold on any longer and was the first to lose his strength, and was thrown to the grass by Snorlax.

He lay on the grass, sweating all over, breathing heavily, and yelled, "It feels so good!"

It has been a long time since I had such a vigorous exercise. Anjie felt as if all the cells in his body came alive and were full of energy.

"Gang~Gang~~" Master, you are so awesome!

Snorlax sat down next to Angel. Although it won, it was also very tired.

Angie patted Snorlax on the back and said, "Let's spar next time!"

The reason he was able to hold on for so long was entirely because Snorlax didn't use any skills but only brute force.

However, he is very satisfied with his current physical fitness. Even though Snorlax's level is not high, he can still be considered as someone who can compete with Pokémon.

"Gang~Gang~"Okay, okay! We'll continue next time, we'll continue next time!

Snorlax said happily that after a competition, it also felt its blood boiling.

"You need to exercise more, you're getting fatter." Angel sat up and patted Snorlax's belly, and its belly immediately became as chewy as pudding and began to shake.

"Just~Just~"

Little Snorlax scratched the back of his head embarrassedly. Since coming to Angel's house, he has been well fed and full every day. It would be strange if he didn't gain weight.

At this time, Diancie came over and asked with concern: "Anjie, are you okay?"

When Angie was thrown down by Snorlax just now, it was really nervous, fearing that Angie would be hurt.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." Anjie patted his chest and said, "I am no longer the same person I used to be. I am very strong now!"

The increase in physical points will improve Angel's physical fitness in all aspects, including not only strength but also the ability to withstand blows.

Seeing Anjie's relaxed expression, Diancie breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, the Pokémon continued to help Angie plant trees, and the planting of pomegranates and blackberries was finally coming to an end.

Angel stayed at home with Snorlax and Lizard. They had new work to do today.

Anjie's store has launched many kinds of porridge one after another, but it has never launched century egg and lean meat porridge. The reason is that there is no century egg in the world of Pokémon. If Anjie wants to launch century egg and lean meat porridge in the store, he must make the century egg himself.

Today, Angie will take Snorlax and Lizard to make preserved eggs.

To be honest, Anjie himself was craving for preserved eggs.

When thinking of the delicious food made from preserved eggs, such as cold preserved eggs, preserved eggs with tofu, preserved eggs with peppers... Anjie's heart was already excited.

Preserved eggs have a unique taste and not everyone likes them. Some people quite hate them, which is very similar to coriander. And Anjie is one of those who likes preserved eggs.

In addition to preserved eggs, Anjie also plans to make some salted duck eggs today.

Snorlax's House and Diancie Canteen have completely transformed into breakfast shops, and Angie has no intention of changing the current business structure.

Doing everything would just tire him out.

Since you are running a breakfast shop, how can you not have salted duck eggs!
When Anjie thought of the greasy, golden salted duck eggs, his mouth was watering.

The side dishes of Snorlax's House are all provided free of charge by Anjie, but the salted duck eggs made this time cannot be free. Although he can't earn happiness points by selling salted duck eggs, he worked hard to make them, so it's okay to earn some money!
Anjie prepared the ingredients for making preserved eggs and salted duck eggs early in the morning.

There was heavy snow in the Royal City of Azot, but the weather on the Nibel Plateau was very sunny. Every time this happened, Angie would repeat to himself: Thank you Bolkanion!
Angel, Snorlax and Lizard moved all the materials to the square at the door, intending to work while basking in the sun.

Anjie and Snorlax each brought a small stool and sat down. The three of them gathered around a pile of materials. Anjie announced:
"let us start."

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

Snorlax and Teary cheered. They had been looking forward to the new delicacy that Angel had mentioned.

"Then just follow me! Let's make the preserved eggs first." said Anjie.

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

Snorlax and Lizardman nodded at the same time.

"Come on, tearful lizard, let's wash the duck eggs. Fill the basin with water." Angel said, pointing to the large plastic basin in front of him.

"Mee Sweep~~"

The tearful lizard nodded, stretched out a finger and put it in the basin, and the water immediately flowed in, while Angel directed the little Snorlax to put all the duck eggs in.

"We need to wash the duck eggs before cooking to prevent bacteria from growing." Anjie gently washed the duck eggs.

"Just~~"

Snorlax nodded seriously and imitated his master in washing the duck eggs. After filling the basin with water, the tearful lizard followed suit.

"Okay! After cleaning the duck eggs, let's prepare the pickled mud." Angel said as he demonstrated to the two Pokémon.

Place quicklime, soda ash and salt in a large bowl, add appropriate amount of tea, and stir well until all the solids are dissolved and become a paste.

The tea needs to be prepared in advance. Add tea leaves to water and boil it. After it cools down, filter out the tea leaves.

"The next step is pickling, which is also the most critical step." Anjie demonstrated to his two apprentices.

Take the dried duck eggs, spread the pickling mud evenly on them, and then put them into the porcelain jar prepared by Anjie and seal it.

"After pickling for about a month, you can get delicious preserved eggs."

"Just~Just~" There's still one month left...

Snorlax looked disappointed.

"How is it? Have you remembered all the steps?" asked Anjie, holding a baked duck egg in his hand.

“Gang~” Remember it!

"Mee Sweep~" Catch it!

The two Pokémon answered in unison.

An Jie smiled and said, "Well, let's hurry up and make it. We have a lot to make today. After we finish making the preserved eggs, we have to make the salted duck eggs."

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

The two Pokémon cheered and immediately started working according to what Angie taught them. It must be said that they were both very good at doing things, and soon jars of preserved eggs were made, and the square in front of the door was filled with a pile of sealed porcelain jars.
