Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 293 Secret Seasoning (4.4k, 4.4 days of supplement)
Seeing Bai Zhen starting to cook again.

The diners came quickly to place their orders.

Bai Zhen finished all the materials in hand and said that it was impossible to do anything more.

He came to Bao Canteen to participate in gym battles and learn cooking that changes Taijing's attributes, not to be a chef and cook for others.

"Chef" Bai Zhen turned to look at the chef, wanting to ask for the recipe.

When I turned around, I saw that the chef was enjoying the leftovers from Bai Zhen's legendary grilled rice balls.

Bai Zhen suddenly looked over, and the chef was startled. He quickly threw the scraps in his hand into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it like a thief.

"What, what's wrong?"

Bai Zhen was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect that this senior chef, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, would actually eat scraps.

Bai Zhen automatically ignored the other party's stealing of scraps.

"Of course there are, but there are only three portions. If you want, I can sell them all to you."

The chef who has eaten Baizhen's grilled rice balls knows best that Baizhen's cuisine will not let the flavor of the seasonings dominate, but will maximize the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, and will use seasonings to enhance the taste of the ingredients. .

Seeing the ingredients above, Bai Zhen was a little surprised: "Secret seasoning? Is this one of the keys to making this kind of cuisine?"

Bai Zhen took the recipe, opened it and glanced at it quickly.

Bai Zhen originally thought it was a secret seasoning that could be grown, but unfortunately, it was already ground seasoning.

"This is the recipe for changing Taijing's properties. It's yours from now on."

But the difference is that the Lord Pokémon is transformed by eating immature secret seasoning, while the Overlord Pokémon is transformed by the influence of the aura.

"Sorry, I'm not even interested. I'm very busy at this time."

The chef of Bao's Kitchen is one of the top chefs in the entire Jinhui Town.

The chef looked at the many business cards that Bai Zhen had accepted and proactively extended an olive branch.

[Secret Seasoning] is one of the important props in the game.

"Mr. Qianzhou, if you change your mind, you can contact us at any time, and we are willing to pay a high price to hire you."

"That's right. Does Mr. Qianzhou know the secret seasoning?"

At this time, the chef continued: "Secret seasoning is a very powerful seasoning. You only need to add a little bit to make the food evolve. However, it is precisely because of the quality of secret seasoning that I want to use it." Making food is very difficult.

Bai Zhen nodded: "Of course we know each other."

Most of the time, just adding a little will make the flavor of the seasoning completely overwhelm the original taste of the ingredients. It is a seasoning that is difficult to control, but I think if it is you, Mr. Chizu, you should use this seasoning. It should be handy too. "

The chef then remembered that he and Bai Zhen had a test.

"Cooking is just my hobby and I have no intention of being employed by any restaurant."

After waiting for a while, the deputy quickly came over with a thin recipe book.

The so-called Lord Pokémon is a giant Pokémon unique to the Padia region. 200 years ago, the Area Zero expedition team discovered a wonderful plant called the secret seasoning in Area Zero (the Padia Crater). They planted this plant unique to Area Zero throughout Padia, but the wild Pokémon around them ate the incompletely grown secret seasoning and became extremely huge, known as Pokémon Masters. .

Two special Pokémon are larger and stronger than ordinary Pokémon.

In the middle of the meal, he couldn't help but forget about it because the food was so delicious.

In the game, players only need to pay 50 Taijing attribute fragments. In reality, they did not expect to need to use secret seasonings.

"Of course! Just wait a moment and I'll have someone bring you the recipe." The chef asked his deputy to get the recipe. He looked at Bai Zhen and invited, "I wonder if Mr. Qianzhou has any idea to come to our Bao Cafeteria to make the decision? Where is the chef? Our Bao Restaurant is very popular in Jinhui Town. I can offer you an annual salary of 100 million."

The main plot of the game begins with the protagonist picking up a weakened version of the Cover God.

Based on the few moves Bai Zhen showed in the afternoon, an expert will understand how powerful Bai Zhen is.

“If I’m making a dish where I can only taste the flavor of the seasonings, I can still do it, but if I want to perfectly bring out the flavors of the seasonings and ingredients, I really can’t do it.”

The Pokémon Master's strength is pretty good, and Bai Zhen is also very interested in secret seasonings. That kind of plant is most suitable for his farm.

This is understandable, after all, not many people want to change the properties of Taijing. In order to preserve the seasonings for a longer period of time, they naturally need to be ground well to increase the shelf life.

Bai Zhen asked the other party: "I wonder if you sell secret seasonings here?"

If you want to restore the power of the cover god, you need to defeat the [Baby Master Pokémon] to obtain the [secret seasoning] to make dishes to restore the cover god's power.

Bai Zhen took the business card from the other party's hand smoothly. This business card might be useful for the farm in the future, and it wouldn't take up much space if kept.

"Hobbies? Haha, you are so humble." The chef obviously did not believe Bai Zhen's words. Seeing that Bai Zhen did not intend to be employed for a long time, he added, "Then do you want to consider being a special guest at Lai Bao Canteen every week? Chef? If a week doesn’t work, a month will do!”

"Sir, it's easy to explain if you know me. The secret seasoning is the key to making this special dish. Although the amount required is very small, the price is very high because of its rarity. Or you can defeat the treasure master Pokémon. Gather secret seasonings from their lairs.”

To be honest, the [Lord Pokémon] from the Padia region is very similar to the [Overlord Pokémon] from the Alola region.

"Can't you make dishes using this kind of seasoning?" Bai Zhen asked the chef curiously.

Bai Zhen took the seasoning from the opponent's hand unceremoniously. With these three seasonings, he can change the Taijing attributes of the Red Lotus Armor Cavalry and Honglong Dragon when they go back.

The chef asked for secret seasonings.

Compared with ordinary Pokémon, the treasure master Pokémon will become very large and have higher attribute points. In addition, the treasure master Pokémon seems to have eaten the secret seasoning, and its own racial value has also reached reached the ultimate level.

Bai Zhen asked: "I wonder if I can prove my superb cooking skills now?"

Bai Zhen had refused twice, and the chef couldn't bear to pester Bai Zhen again and again. Finally, he handed Bai Zhen a business card.

The level of that kind of cuisine is astonishingly high.

I'm afraid only Bai Zhen can truly unleash the potential of the secret seasoning.

"Sounds very tempting." Bai Zhen immediately decided to find an opportunity to defeat the treasure master Pokémon and obtain the secret seasoning.

For this highest-grade seasoning in the Padya region, Bai Zhen is looking forward to the wonderful changes that adding this seasoning to the cuisine will bring.

"How much do these recipes and secret sauces cost? I'll pay you."

I helped make grilled rice balls before just to prove to the chef at Bao's Cafeteria that my cooking skills were up to par.

"If I have money, I wonder if I can use the grilled rice ball sauce recipe instead? Of course, I also know that these recipes are very valuable, and we are willing to spend more money to buy them."

"The sauce for grilled rice balls, if you want it, I'll copy it for you."

"Is it really okay?" The chef looked at Bai Zhen in surprise.

The sauce is perfectly customized for all types of grilled rice balls, and it’s even better than Bao’s restaurant’s secret recipe for many years!

"It's okay, pen and paper."

The chef immediately asked for paper and pen, and Bai Zhen wrote down the sauce recipe he used today on the paper.

After copying it, Baizhen handed the recipe to the chef and asked, "Does this count as a clean bill?"

The chef solemnly took the recipe from Bai Zhen, as if he had found a treasure.

He quickly glanced at the recipes and asked Bai Zhen in disbelief: "Is it really enough to just exchange that recipe with part of the secret seasoning?"

The chef now worries that it is not valuable enough.

This formula is really worth tens of thousands of gold. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a secret.

Bai Zhen said: "It doesn't matter, that's just a recipe I came up with on the spur of the moment. Real top-notch cuisine requires subtle adjustments based on other ingredients of the day. The quality of the ingredients is different and the recipe may even need to be prepared again."

The chef understood what Bai Zhen was talking about, but that level was too high and belonged to the legendary mythical cooking skills. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" The chef thanked him seriously, and then asked Bai Zhen solicitously, "I wonder if we can name the new rice balls after you?"

"Use my name?" Bai Zhen thought for a moment, and now he has a pseudonym of 'Qianzhou'. Does he want to use the word Qianzhou to name him?

Chizu's grilled rice balls sound pretty good.

Moreover, the chefs at Bao's Kitchen are also good at cooking and will not give this name a bad name.

Bai Zhen nodded and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, my name doesn't have a registered trademark."

"grateful!"

Bai Zhen didn't know that his arbitrary authorization would lead to the emergence of a series of products called "Knight Mask Grilled Rice Balls" in Baoshitang in the future. The sales volume was astonishingly high. This series of products alone accounted for 30% of Baoshican's total revenue. %.

When the future Bai Zhen knew such a thing, he regretted not expressing his meaning clearly today.

Compared to the childish nickname of Knight Mask, he still likes the name Qianzhou.

Of course that is already in the future.

Finished trading recipes.

Bai Zhen is finally preparing for the gym challenge.

Aoki has been waiting aside for a long time.

After Bai Zhen finished arming, he walked over and asked Aoki: "I wonder when the gym battle will start?"

"The child who has participated in the battle test is also back. Wait until her gym battle is over before you start your battle."

When Bai Zhen heard this, he looked over at Li Ke, who was enjoying baked rice balls with a happy face.

The grilled rice balls she is eating now are legendary rice balls. Although they are only made with ordinary ingredients, the taste of the grilled rice balls is absolutely top-notch and perfect.

"It seems that Rico successfully defeated other testers who were preparing to participate in the gym battle. I don't know what Rico's specific strength is."

"It's okay, I can wait a moment."

Aoki did not disturb Rico who was enjoying her dinner. After Rico finished her dinner, Aoki walked over and said, "Are you ready to participate in the gym battle?"

Rico quickly stood up, nodding her head repeatedly.

"Get ready." Because she was too nervous, Li Ke accidentally bit her tongue.

Aoki comforted: "Don't be nervous, this is just an ordinary gym battle."

"Yes!" Rico wiped her mouth, her expression serious.

On the way here, she had already listened in detail to Xiaodian about Qingmu.

Aoki, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, was assigned to Jinhui Gym as the gym leader.

He likes to fight with normal-type Pokémon.

It seems that he was severely trained by the chief champion because the Pokémon's attributes were too single.

All in all, it is a very powerful enemy.

Rico asked Aoki at this time: "Mr. Aoki, where are we going to participate in the gym battle now?"

"right here."

"Here?" Rico looked at the treasure cafeteria, which can be described as a sea of ​​people. Where is there any place to fight here?

In the treasure restaurant, apart from the bar where you can communicate directly with the chef, the high platform covered with green tatami in the center is the largest.

There were at least 500 people sitting there dining on the high platform at the moment.

Just as Rico looked at her with doubts, a piercing alarm sounded in Bao's cafeteria.

After hearing the alarm, the diners sitting on the tatami all left their seats with their food in tacit agreement and walked down from the high platform.

In just half a minute, the tatami was completely cleared of diners.

Then the entire Treasure Food Hall began to tremble, the green tatami sank in its entirety, and the entire Treasure Food Hall began to deform.

A simple battlefield rose from the ground of Bao's Cafeteria, and the ceiling of Bao's Cafeteria also opened, revealing the dusk outside.

Rico, Roy and others watched in shock as the treasure cafeteria suddenly changed from a dining hall to a battlefield.

They had all been guessing where the Jinhui Gym was, but they didn't want it to be hidden in the largest treasure cafeteria.

Bai Zhen looked at the completely transformed Baoshitang. Although he had expected it, he was still slightly shocked by this hand.

The so-called hiding in the city should refer to this situation, right?
When gym battles are needed, the Treasure Cafeteria will transform into a battle venue. When battles are not needed, the Treasure Cafeteria can accommodate thousands of people dining here.

Aoki walked onto the fighting stage, and the diners around him shouted: "Aoki! Aoki! Aoki!"

When I come to Bao's Cafeteria to eat every day, I can often watch a gym battle, which is also a special feature of Bao's Cafeteria.

Aoki scratched his head in the face of the diners' hesitations. He seemed to be very used to it. He looked at Rico and asked: "How many gyms have you challenged?"

"Two gyms, this is my third gym!"

"Please come up."

After asking about Rico's challenge progress, I already had a plan in mind about who to send.

The cheers from the surrounding diners grew louder and louder.

Rico obviously did not participate in the gym battle with so many people watching. As soon as she walked up the steps, she almost fell down because of nervousness.

Come to the command seat.

With a flick of the brush, a barrier was raised around the venue. This barrier can well protect the surrounding diners watching the battle, as well as the trainers on the command seat.

Opposite him, Aoki still looked weak.

After a moment of noise, the diners all surprisingly became quiet together.

He chatted with Rico and said, "Thank you for the hard work in the gym test. Let me introduce you again. I am the gym leader Aoki who is assigned to the Jinhui Gym. If you chat too much, my boss will be angry. Let's start quickly. Let’s fight”

At this time, the chef who had talked with Bai Zhen before temporarily acted as the referee and announced the rules of this gym battle.

"The gym battle is a 2v2 battle. The challenger can change Pokémon at any time. If all the Pokémon on one side lose their fighting ability and the battle is over, then both parties please send their own Pokémon."

Both sides immediately sent out their Pokémon.

Aoki sent out a normal Pokémon, Earth Dragon Jiejie, which had reached level 39.

Turtle is a snake-like Pokémon with a yellow body, a blue belly, and blue and cream stripes on its back. It has three points on its chin and a pair of eyelids on its eyes. Behind each section of his body, there is a small pair of wings.

The race value of Tuyuejie is 520. As a Pokémon cultivated by the Four Heavenly Kings, Aoki's Tuyuejie attribute value is very high. It can be seen that Aoki has a unique advantage in cultivating Pokémon.

On the other side, Rico took the lead in sending out her ace, the level 35 Tiremiao who could evolve immediately.

Tiremiao looks like a light green kitten standing on two legs. Most of its body is covered with light green hair. It has green ear tips and a short and fluffy tail. The dark green pattern on its face changes color. Go deeper.

The task of the gym leader is to give the challenger a trial, so naturally it is impossible for his main pet to go directly.

Rico's gym battle has officially begun.
