I, the Pokémon Master, now resign

Thinking of this, Bai Chen couldn't stop his hands.

Although the fruit rots quickly, it can be preserved for a long time as long as it is made into jam, so it doesn't matter if you pick more...

With this in mind, Bai Chen began to move faster and faster, until he realized that his bag could no longer hold it.

"Ah this..."

Looking at the bag already filled with blue orange fruits, Bai Chen couldn't help but smiled regretfully.

"Although it's good to make blue marmalade, but in this case..."

Thinking of those other fruits deep in the forest, Bai Chen couldn't help feeling a pity.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought more bags.

There are not only blue tangerines in the forest, but also berries such as bananas and limousines that can be harvested as fillings for fruit sandwiches.

Although it is good to have jam, but the guests who come here seem to prefer another way of eating, it should be fine......

Originally, he had already planned to go directly to the shopping street, but when he thought that it was still open this afternoon, and he only picked these blue oranges, Bai Chen shook his head and said to himself:

"No, let's pick some more, at least let's get through today."

After making up his mind, Bai Chen decided to walk a little further into the forest, eating some blue tangerine fruits in the bag while walking, to make room for the berries to be picked later.

......

"It's finally okay now."

After counting the varieties of berries in his bag, Bai Chen finally said with satisfaction.

Although these ingredients are only enough for two days, they are almost enough, so let's make it through first.

"Now I have to go to the commercial street to buy some butter and bacon and other ingredients. It should be in time for the opening time in the afternoon."

Glancing at his watch to confirm the time, Bai Chen roughly estimated that the remaining time would be enough for him to slowly purchase the ingredients and walk back to the store, so he was not in a hurry, walking in the forest after the rain while breathing from the Fresh air around the forest.

The soil after the rain is very uncomfortable to step on. In some places where the soil is relatively heavy, a clay layer will often form. As long as you step on it, this pair of shoes will probably die suddenly in the past few days, and wearing such shoes into the The store will also bring him a greater burden of cleaning. In order to prevent things from developing in such a bad direction, Bai Chen has been carefully watching his feet along the way, for fear that the surrounding branches and leaves will block him accidentally. Sight.

"If there were fewer places like this, the forest after the rain would be perfect, what a pity..."

Although I have been very careful, there are still a lot of muddy water stains on the trousers and shoes when I landed along the way. This is an unavoidable accident.

"The work has increased again, alas~"

Bai Chen sighed helplessly, just when he was about to move on, suddenly a pair of footprints flashed in his peripheral vision.

Driven by curiosity, Bai Chen stepped forward to have a look, and a pair of footprints with obvious claw marks were deeply engraved on the soil.

"Huh? What kind of Pokémon?"

Although the shape engraved on the soil shows the general posture of the owner of the footprints, Bai Chen is not a professional or a doctor of Pokémon after all. He can't tell the difference between more than fifty kinds of tobacco, let alone who the footprints in front of him are. of.

Although he doesn't know the identity of the owner of the footprints, Bai Chen knows one thing...

The owner of the footprints is not the Pokémon of this forest.

He has also lived here for about a year, and he has been to this forest countless times. Bai Chen thinks that he has almost remembered the Pokmon in the forest, but in his memory, there is no Pokmon that matches the one in front of him. Characteristics of footprints.

"I hope it's a normal check-in guy."

Bai Chen prayed in his heart.

The Pokémon in the forest have always lived a life of peace and mutual help, so the awareness of fighting is very weak. There have been several incidents of foreign Pokmon forcibly driving out the aborigines before, but with the help of Bai Chen, most of these incidents have been resolved. a harmonious ending.

However, in order to make it acceptable to both parties, he also spent a lot of effort during the period, because most of the invading Pokémon were also away from his forest under the invasion of others, Bai Chen really couldn't do violence to drive them away, and People who entrust themselves to solve similar incidents also hope that the matter can be resolved peacefully, so generally speaking, it is Bai Chen who spends the most time in the end.

"Let's take a look at it another day. It's more important to hurry up and prepare for the business in the afternoon."

Bai Chen shook his head to get rid of his extra thoughts, quickened his pace a little and walked towards the commercial street.

......

004 Job in coffee shop

The commercial street in Shuran Town is not as prosperous as Jiayuan City, nor as advanced as Binhai City, but the commercial street in Shuran Town has a natural and unique smell that makes people feel comfortable.

Of course, Bai Chen himself can't explain what this smell is like, but when you ask the old people living in Random Town this question, most of them should answer you. When I was home, I smelled the smell of various dinners from every house on the side of the road.

Although there are all kinds of shops in the commercial street, some of them sell ready-made croquettes and fried chicken nuggets, but most of them are restaurants and hawkers selling raw materials. It is impossible to smell any food, so Bai Chen thinks that the old people's interpretation of this smell should be understood as...human touch.

Even though such an idea may be a bit old-fashioned, Baichen prefers this kind of quiet human touch compared to the bustling metropolis, especially after he stepped down from the position of Pokémon master.

"Boss, bring me a catty of bacon like this."

In front of the butcher shop, Bai Chen thought carefully about whether to change the style occasionally, but then he rejected this idea. After all, the new style still needs new attempts, and it is better to satisfy today's customers first.

"Here, the bacon you want, but is it really okay? If so much bacon can't be used up, won't it be wasted?"

"How is it possible? It's not going to be sold out today. Even if it can't be sold out in the end, I can cook and eat it myself~ Anyway, I haven't eaten Naples pasta for a long time."

After taking the bacon from the owner of the butcher shop, Bai Chen dismissed the boss's worries with a smile, but the boss just shrugged his shoulders and said with a bit of regret in his tone:

"Napolitan spaghetti...It sounds good. Speaking of which, sometimes I really feel that it is a bit too talented to open a coffee shop with your craftsmanship. If it is for dinner, the business of the shop should be full."

"What kind of dinner... My main business is entrusted by Wanshiwu, and I am not the owner of the restaurant. If you say it, you will forget it..."

"Ha... ha ha ha ha ~ how... how is it possible! Wanshiwu... yes yes yes Wanshiwu."

The butcher shop owner's acting skills can't be called good, but Bai Chen is used to the fact that others forget his main business, except for a little phenomenon that appeared in the forest, the other commissions are basically from the next door. The neighbor who almost feels that he is a bit pitiful deliberately entrusts himself with something to help him live better.

It's like helping take care of children, helping with errands, and even asking myself to help with housekeeping...

Speaking of which, he is not a five-year-old child. Although he is very grateful for the kindness of his surroundings, Bai Chen still hopes that such entrustments can be slightly less.

"Then that's it, I'll take my leave first, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the opening time of the store in the afternoon."

Seeing that the boss seemed to be still embarrassed by his previous speech, Bai Chen really chose to end the topic.

"Oh, go slowly, I will go to your coffee shop in the afternoon, remember to prepare my portion."

"Understood, today I can pick the freshest berries and use them to make jam. Satisfaction is guaranteed~ But if you want to come in the afternoon, the store..."

"Huh?! Just leave things like the storefront to the mother-in-law at home! A big man should enjoy afternoon tea gracefully! After all, I am the head of the family!"

"Well, although your boss has a good idea, remember to look behind yourself when you say such things in the future."

"Behind? Are you talking about...?! Mrs. Wife! You...you listen to me to explain and explain! Things are not what you think! Ah——!"

Accompanied by the screams coming from behind, Bai Chen shook his head sympathetically, and then continued to walk towards the remaining shops to purchase the remaining ingredients that had been ordered.

......

"Phew... It's finally over. Next, as long as..." Bai Chen said while flipping the closing sign of Close hanging at the door to make it into the state of Open, so he is satisfied. nodded. "This is done."

From the procurement of materials to the making of jam, and the preparation of coffee beans and other materials just in time for the opening, all we need to do is wait for the guests to come.

"Then I will bother you two today."

Turning around and walking to his counter, Bai Chen said to the Pokémon lying on both sides of the door.

"Mu~ra~"

"Lie~"

The two Pokmon answered Bai Chen with different attitudes. The first Pokmon had long thick beards on both sides from the yellow fur on its face, and its lower body was also covered with thick black beards. Its eyes were sharp and aggressive. But when people looked at Bai Chen, they were full of tenderness; the latter Pokémon was purple in color, but it was covered with smooth light yellow fur from its chin to its abdomen, and its slender tail hooked gently in the air. Shaking, the eyes are full of laziness all the time.

Long-haired dog, cool leopard.

These two Pokémon were powerful partners who followed Bai Chen all the way from Hezhong, and now they have become Bai Chen's front Pokémon.Although Bai Chen's initial idea was to let them help look after the store, over time, the two Pokémon seem to have become like mascots in the eyes of customers, and the long-haired dog and cool leopard are very popular here. welcome to guests.

ding bell~~

Before Bai Chen could reach the counter, the bell hanging on the door suddenly rang clearly, indicating that a guest had arrived.

"Oh~ I'm the first customer today, right?"

Walking towards him was a smiling young man wearing glasses. The man was carrying a cloth bag in which was the laptop he often carried. Bai Chen had a bit of an impression of this guest, after all, people like this There are very few business people in Shuran Town. According to what he said when he answered the phone in the store, this young man seems to be someone sent by Pokemon Watch Company to discuss cooperation with Shuran Electronic City. How is the progress.

"Of course, you are the first guest here today. After all, we have just opened here. By the way, did you come here on guard?"

Bai Chen responded to the other party with a smile, and then asked.

After all, no matter what he said, it was too coincidental that he stepped over the sign with his front foot and stepped into the store with his back foot. Bai Chen, who said he didn't come here on purpose, didn't quite believe it.

The man smiled and laughed after listening: "I can't help it, I don't know why I can only work with peace of mind in this coffee shop of yours, and there are such wonderful Pokémon."

After the man finished speaking, he bent down and touched the soft fur of the long-haired dog and the cool leopard. The former rubbed the man's hand enjoying himself, but the latter exhaled in discomfort, got up and walked. Gracefully walked to the other side.

"Ha ha......"

Seeing that he still couldn't casually masturbate the cool leopard, the man just gave a wry smile.

"Don't worry, the cool leopard has such a personality, even I can't touch it casually when it is in a bad mood, but I don't know why this kind of personality is very popular with children, especially boys. "

"Really? It's a pity...I wanted to try to build a good relationship with Cool Leopard before going back."

There was a trace of regret on the man's face, but then he thought that he still had work to do, so he gave up, found a seat in a corner, sat down, and started ordering.

"The old way is troublesome, and if there is a recommended sandwich, please come to me too."

"Understood, please wait~"

Bai Chen poked his head out to respond, and then began to prepare to take the man's order, but at this moment the phone in the back room rang.

"Sorry, I'm going to answer a call first, please wait a moment, if there are any guests coming in the middle, please explain to me."

"Understood, please rest assured."

The man smiled in response to Bai Chen's words, and then turned on the computer to start today's work.

......

005 A call from a friend

The place where the phone rang was the back room of the coffee shop, and this is also the storefront of the main business that Bai Chen said he was currently engaged in——

Feel free to do everything.

Helping solve problems is what Wanshiwu has to do, but most of the time the door will not be open here. If you want to entrust to solve the incident, there are generally two channels. One is to put the entrusted content into the mailbox of the back door by letter one day in advance ;The second way is to call directly to make an appointment like this. As long as Bai Chen is still in the store, he can usually receive calls.

Although it is said that there are two ways, the vast majority of customers choose to entrust by letter or in person, and there are very few customers who make appointments by phone like this.

But this is of course, after all, Bai Chen didn't make much publicity about his Master's House at the beginning. This Master's House is like an accessory of the coffee shop, and it was born together with the coffee shop a year ago.And the contact number in Wanshiwu is only hung on the door of the coffee shop very inconspicuously, so if someone really calls to Wanshiwu for help, it is usually a relatively important matter, and the reward is generally relatively high. many.

For example, the task I received by phone was to stop the rampage of thousands of coconut egg trees and defeat a large number of agate jellyfish and sting jellyfish that appeared on the coast.

With a mood similar to that of anticipation at that time, Bai Chen picked up the phone.

"Hi, this is the House of Random Things. May I help you?"

"Ah, sure enough, it's really this phone number."

The voice looks a little familiar... No, it seems that this is not a question of familiarity or not?Although there are some gaps with my own impression, but absolutely can not go wrong!It sounded like...

"Ka, Kamizlei...?! By the way, how did you know the phone number of Master House???"

"Hello~ Long time no see, Brother Bai Chen, how are you doing now?"

The voice on the other side of the phone was very soft and sweet, but behind the sweetness was a little mature.

As expected, I chose to be a model. Even the feeling of the voice has changed with the overall temperament...

Bai Chen recalled Kameizlei's voice before he left home and compared it with what he heard just now. He never thought that such a change could happen to a person's voice in just a few years.

"Hello? Hey——! Brother Bai Chen, are you listening?!"

"Ah? Sorry, I was a little distracted, so Kamizlei..."

"Um???"

"Um... so what's the matter with you calling?"

Sensing a burst of resentment coming from the other end of the phone, Bai Chen had no choice but to cut to the chase and ask this question.

"Well... oh...forget it... It's just that I've been missing Brother Bai Chen a little lately, so I asked someone for the number of your store "a little bit", and then called, because of your sincerity I forgive you for leaving without saying a word."

"That's really a thank you." Bai Chen thanked him as if he had been pardoned, and then continued to ask: "So what did you want to say, Kamizlei, when you called today?"
