The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 65 Breeding Plan
Seeing that the preserved eggs were almost done, Anjie said, "Okay, let's start making salted duck eggs!"

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

Snorlax and Teary each put the last preserved egg they had made into a porcelain jar and sealed it, then patted the pickled mud on their hands.

"Come on, tearful lizard, wash your hands."

Angie stretched out his hand in front of the tearful lizard, and the little Snorlax followed suit.

"Mee Sweep~"

The tearful lizard responded, and a stream of water flowed out from its fingers. Angie and Snorlax rubbed their hands hurriedly.

The process of pickling salted duck eggs and pickled century eggs is actually similar, the only difference is the ingredients used.

Anjie explained to the two Pokémon: "The first step in pickling salted duck eggs is to prepare the pickling liquid."

As he spoke, Anjie took out a big pot, put it on a rack, and added water, salt, cinnamon, pepper, star anise, bay leaves and other spices into the pot.

"Remember, the ratio of water and salt is very important. This will affect the taste and oil production of the salted duck eggs." Angel explained in detail to the two Pokémon.

Because they had never seen salted duck eggs, they didn't understand what oil production meant, but they still kept Angie's words in mind.

Then Angel put the charcoal bought from the system store under the big pot and lit it, and boiled the water in the pot.

Then let the boiled water cool down and add white wine. It is best if the wine is over 50 degrees.

This is how the marinade is done.

"Come on, Snorlax, Lizard, let's put the duck eggs into the jar." Putting the pickling liquid aside, Angel called his two apprentices.

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

The two Pokémon responded and carefully placed the duck eggs into the jar one by one.

After all this was done, Angie said, "Okay, there's only one step left! Let's pour the pickling liquid into each jar."

As Angie spoke, he handed two large spoons to Snorlax and Lizard, and the three masters and apprentices continued to act.

As Anjie was doing it, he reminded her: "The pickling liquid must cover the duck eggs. The duck eggs must be completely covered, otherwise they won't be pickled well."

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

Snorlax and Lizard nodded solemnly.

After all the jars were filled, Angie and his apprentices sealed them all with lids.

To pickle century eggs and salted duck eggs, Anjie uses jars of different materials. White porcelain jars are for century eggs, and black porcelain jars are for salted duck eggs. This way they can be easily distinguished and won’t be confused by putting them together.

"Okay, we can eat salted duck eggs in a month!" Anjie looked at the jars placed in front of the door, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Although a month was a bit long to wait, Snorlax and Lizardman still cheered happily.

The next step was to move the jars into the warehouse of the secret fortress and store them away. However, looking at the two or three hundred jars in front of him, Angel fell into distress.

With so many jars, when will he and Snorlax have to move them all?
"Meow~~" At this time, Super Meowth brought Meowth out.

"Meowmeow is awake? Is everything okay?" Angel looked at Meowmeow next to Super Meowmeow in surprise.

"Meow~"

Meowth stepped forward, bowed deeply to Angel, and expressed his sincere gratitude to Angel. Super Meowth had already told it that it was Angel who sent it to the Pokémon Center and bought it food.

And it costs money to go to the Pokémon Center, Meowth also told it.

Moomin is no longer the rookie who first entered the human world. It now knows very well the importance of money in the human world.

The salary that Angie gave to Meowth was not only Pokémon food, but also pocket money, so Meowth would often bring back some small gifts from Azoth Royal Castle to make everyone happy.

"I'm glad you're okay." Angel said with a smile.

At this time, Super Meow was pointing at the jars on the ground and gesticulating.

Angel said: "I was planning to move them to the warehouse, but..."

At this time, Super Meow patted his chest and said, "Meow~" I'm here to help.

Angie: "You want to help?"

"Meow~" Super Meow nodded.

It used its superpowers and suddenly more than a dozen jars flew up and floated around it.

Angel said in surprise: "That's a great help, but be careful, there are fragile things in it."

"Meow~" Super Meow nodded to reassure Angel, and then took a dozen jars and walked towards the secret fortress.

"Meow~"

At this time, Meowth also used his superpowers, and suddenly five or six jars floated up.

"Meow meow, you want to help too?" Angel asked in surprise.

"Meow~"

Meowth nodded.

"But you are still sick." Anjie said worriedly.

Meowth waved his hands. It was not sick. It fainted because it was hungry.

Seeing Miao Miao's determination, An Jie had no choice but to say, "Then be careful. Rest when you are tired. Don't be stubborn."

Meowth nodded, then took the jar and took small steps to chase after Super Meowth.

Looking at the backs of Meowth and Meowth, Angie said to Snorlax: "Let's get started. We can't just rely on Meowth and Meowth."

As for the tearful lizard, its small body couldn't be moved, so it could only give everyone encouragement verbally.

"Just~~"

Snorlax responded and, together with Angie, carried the jars one in each hand.

With the help of Super Meow and Meow, hundreds of jars were moved quickly.

Looking at the white and black porcelain jars neatly arranged in the warehouse, Anjie wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned.

"Perfect."

"Mee Sweep~"

"Just~"

The Tearful Lizard was also very happy. It had learned two new ways to cook food, so it jumped up and clapped hands with Snorlax. Snorlax cooperated with it very well.

"Okay, let's go out," Angie said to the Pokémon.

"Just~"

"Meow~" "Meow~"

"Meow~"

The four Pokémon nodded and lined up to follow Angie out.

Back on the ground, Angie looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he said to the four Pokémon: "Let's go see how everyone's fruit trees are doing!"

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

Snorlax and Lizard were in the lead, talking and laughing as they walked in front. From time to time, Lizard would stretch out his finger and aim at the front, either shooting at a blade of grass or a small flower.

After shooting once, it asked Snorlax, "Am I powerful and handsome?"

Of course, the little Snorlax was very respectful and kept praising the Tearful Lizard. Not only did he flatter it a lot, but he also exclaimed or applauded from time to time. The Tearful Lizard was flattered to the point of being in the clouds and didn't know what was going on.

Soon Anjie and his friends arrived at their destination. They first went to see the planting of pomelo. At this time, the banks of the pond were already planted with pomelo seedlings, and even the parts that had been planted first had begun to sprout and grow.

When the Pokémon who were working saw Angie, they all spoke up to greet him.

"Anjie!"

Diancie happened to be here too. When he saw Anjie, he hurried over and asked, "Are the century eggs and salted duck eggs ready?"

"Yes." Angie nodded.

"So soon?" Diancie was surprised. "Didn't you say you wanted to do more?"

"Of course it's because Snorlax, I and Tearful Lizard work very efficiently!" Angel said, looking at Snorlax and Tearful Lizard with pride, "Isn't that right?"

Snorlax said seriously: "Just~" That's right, we work efficiently!

The tearful lizard proudly posed as a sharpshooter: "Mee-sweep~Mee-sweep~" Of course! I am handsome!
Diancie was amused by the three masters and apprentices, and shook her head helplessly, "You three guys are really shameless..."

Meowth followed Angel silently, looking at every working Pokémon curiously. It was the first time for it to see so many Pokémon working together. Everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles. This scene made it feel inexplicably shocked.

"Meow~" What happened?
Seeing Meowth in a daze, Super Meowth asked softly.

"Meow~meow~" It's so nice here!

Meowth sighed sincerely.

Super Meow touched its head and asked, "Meow~ Meow~" Do you want to live here with me?

Meow Meow raised his head in surprise, “Meow~meow~” Is it okay?

Meowth nodded, "Of course."

Meowth showed joy on his face and nodded vigorously, "Meow!"

Angie took the Pokémon on a tour of their territory and came back with a fish that Mosquito-kun had caught from the water.

The fish's mouth and gills were pierced by grass and it was jumping around in Anjie's hand. However, Anjie was looking at the shimmering pond in front of him and suddenly became dazed.

There are such abundant fresh water resources on the Nibel Plateau, why didn't he think of raising fish before!
Lake Nibel is home to a large number of Pokémon, Pokémon-chan, some Pokémon-chans, as well as Lulili, Marill, and a small number of other water-type Pokémon. Why doesn't he let them help raise fish?

There are fish in Lake Nibel, and water-type Pokémon will occasionally catch some fish to satisfy their hunger. They have given some to Angel before, but there are not many fish in the lake.

Spring is the season when fish resources in Lake Nibel are most abundant. At that time, fish from the lower reaches of Lake Nibel will swim upstream to the upper reaches of Lake Nibel and the Nibel River to spawn.

However, once the season is over, these fish will swim back downstream, so the number and variety of fish that live in Lake Nibel all year round are not large. In addition, water Pokémon often hunt them, so there are even fewer left.

But the water quality of Lake Nibel is first-rate, so wouldn't it be very suitable to use it to raise fish? This would also provide more jobs for Pokémon.

Thinking of this, Anjie asked Diancie, "Diancie, how about we raise some fish, shrimps and crabs in Lake Nibel?"

Diancie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

It was a great pleasure for Diancie to build the Nibel Plateau bit by bit with Ange.

"Well, let's go back and prepare." Angel said happily, "Little Snorlax, Tearful Lizard, let's go home!"

"Just~"

"Mee Sweep~"

The little Snorlax and the tearful Lizard, who were having fun by the pond, quickly responded.

In this way, Angie trotted all the way home with Diancie, Snorlax and Lizard.

Evening came quickly, and the Pokémon who had finished planting trees returned in the sunset. Angie, Snorlax, and Lizard had already prepared delicious food for them.

After bringing out the pots of food and distributing them to everyone, Anjie walked over to the Frog King and said to it, "Frog King, I have something I want to discuss with you. Is that ok?"

"Aww~"

The Frog King nodded and followed Anjie into the house.

After asking the mosquito-repellent frog king to sit down, Anjie told it about his breeding plan.

After hearing this, Frog King jumped off his chair excitedly. Does this mean that water-type Pokémon will be able to work for Angel for a long time in the future?

"Aola~Aola~Boola~"

The Frog King asked what he was thinking.

Anjie nodded and said, "Yes, breeding is a long-term job that requires the constant help of water Pokémon."

The Frog King suddenly jumped up and down with joy, completely losing his usual majestic and imposing manner as the leader of the water-type Pokémon.

But Angie thinks that this is what a real leader should be like, always thinking about other Pokémon.

Then Anjie discussed the details of the breeding plan with Mosquito Repellent Frog King.

Actually, Angie is also an amateur. He can only buy a breeding tutorial from the store and then study it with Poliwag. As a water-type Pokémon, Poliwag has more talent for breeding than Angie, and even gave Angie a lot of suggestions.

After dinner, the other Pokémon went home, but Frog stayed at Angel's house until eight or nine in the evening.

After the Frog King left, Anjie opened the system store and started buying fish fry.

Since there are fruit tree seedlings in the store, there are naturally fish seedlings as well.

After some searching, a list appeared in front of Anjie. It listed all kinds of fish suitable for freshwater farming, including black carp, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, carp... As a novice in fish farming, Anjie was almost dazzled by the choices.

After much deliberation, Anjie first chose four types of fish: black carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp. According to the system store, these four types of fish are known as the "four major carps". They are characterized by fast growth, strong disease resistance and high yield, which are very suitable for Anjie, a novice in breeding.

However, after thinking about it, Angie decided to raise a small amount of sea bass, cod, and sturgeon. Compared with the four major carps, these three types of fish are more expensive, with sturgeon being the most expensive.

Just when Anjie thought that these fish were enough for the time being, his attention was attracted by another four kinds of fish fry. These four kinds of fish fry were marked together, and it was written on them "CJ Four Fishes - Knife Fish, Silver Fish, Shad, and Catfish".

Angie was stunned, this was the only type of fish fry that was specially marked.

As a chef, how could Anjie not have heard of the names of these four kinds of fish? In his previous life, these four kinds of fish were almost caught to extinction because they were too delicious, so much so that the country later issued a fishing ban.

He didn't expect that the system store actually sold their fry, and the system store also introduced that these four kinds of fish have been improved and are not only more delicious and easier to breed, but also one of the materials for unlocking advanced recipes.

Currently, the only advanced recipe that Anjie has unlocked is the milk-flavored steamed buns that require green grass goat milk.

Of course, correspondingly, the prices of these four kinds of fish fry are also frighteningly high.
