Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

The next morning, Angé continued to take the Komala, Sobble, Espurr, Meowth, and Ralts to Snorlax's home.

Today, Azoth Kingdom was blessed with a rare sunny day. Although the thick snow showed no signs of melting, the sun was bright.

Of course, the sun's appearance didn't mean the temperature rose; on the contrary, Azoth Kingdom became even colder.

However, the kitchen at Snorlax's home was warm, with a misty heat filling the space. Angé and Sobble were bustling about.

Unbeknownst to the master and apprentice, a pair of eyes watched them from the shadows in the corner, intently observing Angé's bun-making movements, as if trying to memorize every detail.

Today, with the snow freshly stopped, Snorlax's home was exceptionally busy. Everyone wanted to enjoy hot buns and steamed bread, and warm porridge on a cold morning.

The taste was simply wonderful, enough to invigorate them for the whole day.

Fortunately, Meowth came to help alongside Ralts today; otherwise, Espurr alone might not have been able to handle it.

After 10:00 AM, Angé closed the doors on time and called Ximeya.

"Your Highness?" Ximeya's voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.

"Ximeya, it's been a while. Would you like to bring Lakair to my place for lunch today?" Angé asked.

Although he and the Pokémon had devoured all the crayfish caught yesterday, some large crabs and grass shrimp remained. It certainly wouldn't be enough for the Pokémon, so he thought of inviting Ximeya and Lakair for a meal.

Also, those fish from the fifth level of the Secret Fortress should be eaten as soon as possible, or they'll all get skinny.

Speaking of which, Angé hadn't seen Ximeya and her younger sibling for some time.

Ximeya asked in surprise, "Your Highness is inviting us for a meal? Will you be cooking yourself?"

"That's right. I acquired some good ingredients yesterday, so I wanted to invite you to try them," Angé said.

Ximeya agreed without hesitation, "Yes, Lakair and I will definitely go!"

Angé: "Okay."

"Oh, right, is it at Snorlax's home?" Ximeya asked.

Angé shook his head, "No, come to Nibel Plateau."

Ximeya: "I understand. We'll be there soon."

After ending the call with Ximeya, Angé took the specially reserved buns and steamed bread to the alleyway from before.

Reaching the wooden house deep in the alley, Angé gently knocked on the roof. Instantly, six heads popped out—two Oddish, two Paras, and two Shroomish.

Seeing Angé, they happily jumped out of the wooden house. Angé had been feeding them regularly recently, and they were already quite familiar with him.

Feeding them also earned Angé Happiness Points, and the amount was surprisingly high, making Angé very willing to do it.

"Nazo ~ Nazo ~"

"Kino ~ Kino ~"

"Para ~ Para ~"

......

The six Pokémon jumped and bounced around Angé's feet.

Angé placed the plate of buns and steamed bread in front of them, "Eat up."

The six Pokémon immediately surrounded the plate, gobbling down the food. In no time, they had devoured everything.

Once they finished eating, Angé took back the plate and bid them farewell.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Nazo ~" See you tomorrow.

"Kino ~" See you tomorrow.

"Para ~" See you tomorrow.

......

After Angé left, the six Pokémon didn't return to the wooden house to warm up. Instead, they cleared a space outside and lay down to bask in the sun.

It was a rare sunny day, and they had to soak up the sun's rays, or they would get moldy.

After returning to Snorlax's home, Angé immediately took Sobble and Komala back to Nibel Plateau. He had to hurry home and cook.

As soon as Angé and the others left, Gengar floated out of the shadows. As usual, it cleaned Snorlax's home inside and out, then arranged the tables and chairs neatly before heading to the kitchen.

Gazing at Angé and Sobble's cooking utensils, Gengar spaced out for a moment. Then, its eyes flashed blue, and the utensils floated up.

The kitchen knife chopped nonexistent vegetables on the cutting board with a *papapa* sound.

The spoon stirred nonexistent porridge in the pot.

Gengar kneaded nonexistent dough in its hands.

......

After playing for a while, Gengar's movements suddenly stopped. It sadly placed the utensils back in their original positions. Even if it simulated everything perfectly, it was still fake.

Dejectedly, it went to the trash can and rummaged through it, eventually finding half a steamed bun. It held it and slowly disappeared into the corner.

On Angé's side, as soon as he arrived home, he called out to Snorlax, "Snorlax, come help me cook! We have guests coming today!"

"Gang ~~" Coming ~ Coming ~

Snorlax ran to Angé's side like a puppy, waddling behind him.

Angé carried Sobble and Snorlax into the kitchen together. "Today, the three of us masters and apprentices will show off our skills!"

"Gang ~" Oh!

"Miesao ~" Oh!

Snorlax and Sobble clenched their fists, raised their hands, and responded to Angé, all looking full of enthusiasm.

Then, Angé began to assign them tasks.

"Sobble, you make cold tomato salad, cold cucumber salad, hot and sour shredded potatoes, mapo tofu, *di san xian*, and cook a pot of snakehead fish and red date soup."

Most of the fish fished out of Nibel Lake were snakehead fish. Cooking a pot of snakehead fish and red date soup was delicious and nourishing, perfect for winter.

"Miesao ~" I guarantee to complete the mission!

Sobble struck a salute.

Then, Angé said to Snorlax, "Snorlax, you make braised pork, shredded pork with green peppers, garlic stir-fried greens, meatballs, braised eggplant in oil, fish-flavored shredded pork, dry-fried green beans, and twice-cooked pork."

"Gang ~~" No problem!

Snorlax patted its chest to assure him and quickly brought over its small stool.

Seeing that his two apprentices were already busily working, Angé quickly started to work as well.

He first used the few grass shrimp he caught yesterday to make a dry pot shrimp dish, then made tile fish, boiled fish, and steamed fish.

Finally, there were only a few hairy crabs left.

Angé looked at the baring claws of the hairy crabs and began to quickly think about how to cook them.

The water quality of Nibel Lake was very good, so whether it was the fish, shrimp, or crabs raised there, the taste was extremely delicious, and the meat was also extremely high-quality.

So…

In the end, Angé decided to steam them.

High-quality ingredients often require the simplest methods to fully bring out their flavor.

Thinking this, he began to work.

Angé first took the seasonings, ginger, garlic cloves, scallions, light soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and so on.

Then, he put an appropriate amount of water into the steamer. After bringing it to a boil over high heat, he placed the washed and tied hairy crabs belly up into the pot and covered the lid.

While the hairy crabs were steaming, Angé began to prepare the dipping sauce.

In the kitchen, the three masters and apprentices were busily working, the sizzling of oil was endless, and the rich aroma filled the air.

Snorlax stood on a small stool, tiptoeing, tossing the wok in its hands.

Although Sobble was small, it was just as handy with a spatula.

When the three masters and apprentices were halfway done, a flyer landed at Angé's door. It was Ximeya and the others. This time, they were no longer hindered and attacked by the Pokémon.

Ximeya leaped down nimbly from the flyer, followed by Lakair.

“How come Your Highness's home is like this…”

Looking at An Jie's drastically changed home, the siblings almost didn't recognize it for a moment.

Following the siblings was Flamel.

After Flamel came down, he reached out and helped down a slightly chubby middle-aged man, who was none other than Edward, the King of Azoth Kingdom.

Edward wasn't wearing his royal attire today, but rather a set of casual clothes, as were姬美雅 and拉克尔.

“Is this where Your Highness lives? It's really nice!” Because it was Edward's first time here, he didn't know that An Jie's home wasn't originally like this, so he wasn't as surprised.

The four of them came wearing thick clothes, because Azoth Royal City was in the middle of winter, but once they reached the Nibel Plateau, they immediately felt so hot that they had to take off their outer garments.

Dianxi heard the commotion outside and quickly ran out.

After seeing that Edward had also come, a trace of surprise appeared on its face, and then it elegantly saluted Edward,姬美雅, and拉克尔.

“Your Majesty, Princess姬美雅, Prince拉克尔, good afternoon, I am very happy that you can come as guests.”

Edward valued Dianxi, this legendary Pokémon, very much, so he also bowed slightly to it with gentle grace.

“Lord Dianxi, it is also a pleasure to see you again.”

Dianxi: “Everyone, please come in.”

Under Dianxi's guidance, the four entered the house.

As soon as he entered the door,拉克尔 began to sniff non-stop, and said with a look of intoxication, "It smells so good!"

Although Flamel would bring him and姬美雅 breakfast from the Snorlax Home every day, he still missed the dinner he had at An Jie's house that night.

“Hahaha~~~ It seems that we are indeed in for a treat today!” Edward laughed loudly, “To be able to eat a meal made by Your Highness in my lifetime is truly an honor!”

Dianxi beckoned everyone to sit down: “Everyone, please sit down, dinner should be ready soon.”

The group obediently followed Dianxi's instructions and sat around a table.

Edward looked at the round table in front of him with great curiosity. The dining tables they usually used were square. Everyone wouldn't sit so close to each other.

At this time, An Jie walked out of the kitchen. Seeing that姬美雅 and the others had arrived, he looked surprised and said, “You're already here? Perfect, we can start eating!”

拉克尔 cheered and said, “Great, I'll help!”

At this moment, the Poké Ball on his waist flashed red, and Swirlix also appeared outside. It followed拉克尔 and shouted, “Pelo~” I'll help too.

拉克尔 and Swirlix were about to return to their old profession today.

Edward looked at拉克尔's back, with a gratified smile on his face, “拉克尔 has really become much more cheerful.姬美雅, your decision to send him to Your Highness's side was the right one.”

姬美雅 said with a smile, “Actually, I didn't expect拉克尔 to change so much. It's all thanks to Your Highness.”

Soon, a table full of food was placed on the table.

姬美雅 said blankly, “So much?”

An Jie said with a smile, “It's rare for you to come, of course I have to prepare sufficiently.

Come, come, everyone, hurry up and taste it. Today's meal was made by me, Snorlax, and Sobble after working hard for a long time.”

“Gang~Gang~”

Snorlax quickly echoed An Jie.

“Mesa~Mesa~”

And Sobble showed a proud expression.

“Then I won't be polite!” Edward smelled the rich aroma and his heart was already eager to move, but he had to maintain his image. Even in front of His Highness An Jie, he was still a junior, he was still the king of a country!

An Jie said, “Hurry up and try it. This fish, this shrimp, this crab, are all specialties of Nibel Lake. They are so fresh, I guarantee they are so delicious that you can swallow your tongues.”

As he spoke, An Jie began to introduce what this table of dishes was called and how to eat it, especially the Chinese mitten crab.

Edward had been thinking about maintaining his image as a king, but when the first bite of food entered his mouth, he decided to temporarily put aside the majesty of the king.

They were all family, so it was okay to not worry about his image for the time being, right?

“Edward, would you like a glass of wine?” An Jie asked.

Edward: “Then give me a glass.”

An Jie nodded, and then used his remaining Happiness Points to buy a bottle of red wine from the system store, and pretended to take it out from the kitchen.

After letting it breathe, he took out the glass and poured a glass for himself, Edward, and Komala respectively.

Edward picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and then exclaimed, “Good wine! I didn't expect Your Highness to have such a treasure!”

An Jie smiled without saying a word, raised his wine glass and touched it with Edward, and then gently touched it with Komala.

Amidst the exchange of cups and glasses, a table of delicacies was quickly emptied, and Edward was also a big eater.

When there was only the last Chinese mitten crab left, two hands touched it at the same time, one was Edward's, and one was拉克尔's.

“Father, I remember the doctor told you to lose weight.”

“拉克尔, eating crabs won't make you fat, and His Highness said that Chinese mitten crabs are cold in nature, and children shouldn't eat too much.”

“Father, I'll be ten years old soon, I'm already grown up, not a child!”

“No, no, no, almost ten years old means not yet ten years old.”

拉克尔 immediately became unhappy.

“Father, you're too much, you always snatch food from me. Last time, you secretly ate most of the Spicy Acirella Waterweed that Your Highness gave me, didn't you? Don't think I don't know!”

“You're talking nonsense! How could I do such a thing!” Edward stubbornly retorted, “I am the king!”

“Alright, alright!”

At this time, 姬美雅 tapped her chopsticks on the hands of the father and son, and the father and son quickly retracted their hands in pain.

姬美雅 sent the last Chinese mitten crab to An Jie, “This last one is for Your Highness! Your Highness prepared this table of delicacies for us, thank you for your hard work.”

The father and son stared eagerly as the Chinese mitten crab that was about to reach their mouths flew away, looking at their daughter (sister) with resentment, but they dared not speak out.

An Jie smiled and put the last Chinese mitten crab in front of Snorlax.

Snorlax is usually the biggest eater, but today because there were guests, it wanted to take care of the guests, so it ate very restrainedly and didn't eat much Chinese mitten crab at all.

Looking at the Chinese mitten crab that suddenly appeared in its bowl, and then looking at the master who was smiling at it, Snorlax was extremely moved.

“Gang~~” Master……

An Jie smiled and said, “Eat it quickly.”

Snorlax carefully unwrapped the Chinese mitten crab and tasted it carefully. This was the master's love for it.

An Jie then looked at Edward and拉克尔 and said, “You can come again next time. I'll make you what you want to eat then. You've already eaten enough. Everything should be in moderation, and eating is the same.”

Edward nodded thoughtfully, “What Your Highness said makes sense.”

拉克尔 also said, “I'll listen to Your Highness.”

After lunch, Edward and 姬美雅 took a walk nearby to digest their food before leaving the Nibel Plateau. They still had a lot of official business to do. It was already not easy to take the time to have a meal.

As for拉克尔, he stayed temporarily.

Recently,拉克尔 has been very serious in class and studying harder than before, so 姬美雅 wanted to give him a vacation to avoid turning into a bookworm again.
