The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 275 Lily
After collecting a small bag of grass seeds, Miss Quner asked everyone to stop.

After instructing Huayedi and the others to give the grass seeds to Anjie, Miss Qun'er said, "Please keep them for me first."

Anjie took the grass seeds and said, "Okay! But what are they good for?"

Miss Skirt walked forward without looking back and said, "You'll know when the time comes. Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Okay!" Angel hurried to follow it.

As they walked, Angie and his friends unknowingly arrived at the place where they fought the mysterious Pokémon last night.

In the vanilla field, an old lady was carrying a basket and collecting the vanilla that was destroyed by the mysterious Pokémon and affected by the battle last night.

Seeing the old lady trembling, Anjie hurried down to the field to help.

"Old man, let me help you!"

The old lady looked up at Anjie in surprise, with confusion in her cloudy eyes. It took her a while to recognize Anjie's identity.

"Young man, are you the trainer that Andrew invited back?"

Anjie nodded and said, "Yes!"

Seeing that Anjie had already started to help, the old lady quickly said, "Thank you, young man, but I can do this job myself, don't get your hands dirty."

An Jie smiled and said, "It's okay. Don't look at me like this. I actually do farm work at home."

"Really?" The old lady was surprised. She looked at Anjie's tall and strong figure, so she stopped refusing and said, "Then I'll trouble you!"

"No trouble, no trouble!" As he said that, Angel bent down and squatted, imitating the old lady and packing the damaged herbs into the backpack.

As he worked, Anjie wondered, "Grandma, why are there no young people in our village? I see only the elderly working in the fields."

The old lady smiled and said, "Young people are all going to big cities to make their livings. They don't have the patience to tend to crops in the fields. Look, our village is not far from Miare City."

Hearing this, Anjie nodded in understanding.

The nearest town to Vanilla Village is Fengxu Town. It takes only one or two hours to drive west from Fengxu Town to Miare City, the central city of the Kalos region.

Fortunately, agriculture is now mechanized and many tasks do not require manpower to complete. Therefore, even if there are only elderly people in the village, the land can be well taken care of.

Besides, Pokémon still exists.

After working for a while, Anjie straightened up and looked at Miss Skirt standing on the ridge, "How about you guys come down and help?"

"Lidi~lidi~" Why should I work for humans!
Miss Skirt turned her head away with disdain.

An Jie laughed and said, "Oh, don't say that, just think of it as stretching your muscles."

Although she said she was unwilling, Miss Qun'er still took Hua Yeti and Hua Beibei into the fields to help.

The old lady smiled and said, "Young man, you have a good relationship with your Pokémon!"

When Miss Skirt heard this, she immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Who is his Pokémon? You wish!"

Unfortunately, the old lady couldn't understand what it said.

An Jie laughed awkwardly: "How can you tell that we have a good relationship? We were just arguing!"

The old lady chuckled, "How can you quarrel if you don't have a good relationship?"

Anjie: Okay, what you said makes sense.

After more than an hour, the field was cleaned up and Anjie carried the backpack and helped the old lady carry the things back home.

The old grandmother lives alone in the village. Her husband died early, and she raised her daughter alone. Her daughter worked, got married, and settled down in a big city, and only comes back to see her occasionally.

When we arrived at the old lady's house, we saw a Gotha duck walking out of the yard.

Golduck, a duck Pokémon, is a water-type Pokémon and the evolved form of Psyduck. It is a Pokémon that is very good at swimming and even professional swimmers find it difficult to defeat it.

Seeing the old lady, Gotha Duck hurried over to her.

The old lady smiled and said to Gotha Duck: "Thanks to this young man, I can come back so soon!"

Upon hearing this, Gotha Duck looked at Angel with gratitude and took the backpack from him.

The old lady called to Anjie and said, "Young man, if you don't mind, come in and sit down."

An Jie said: "It's my honor!"

He came to buy strong vanilla and white vanilla, and of course he would love the chance to build good relations with the villagers.

After following the old lady and the Gotha Duck into the yard, Angel found that the small yard was kept in good order.

There are tables and chairs for resting in the middle of the yard, with cups and kettles on them.

Next to the table and chairs is a small flower bed. Although there are only a few plants planted in it, each one is full of vitality.

There is a peach tree planted in the southwest corner of the yard. Its branches and leaves are neatly trimmed, and many small fruits are hidden in the crown of the tree.

In the southeast corner is a well. A chrysanthemum leaf is sleeping on the well cover, and the bright sunlight makes its green skin transparent.

The leaves on the top of the chrysanthemum grass exuded fragrance, attracting a butterfly to stay by the well and gently flap its wings.

The scales on its wings sparkled in the sunlight.

"Young man, come and sit down!" The old lady asked Andrzej to sit down in the yard. Seeing Andrzej looking around curiously, she smiled and said, "Thanks to the care of the Gotha duck, this family can be in good shape. Otherwise, I don't know how I would live alone."

Although she felt sorry that she could not live with her daughter, the company of the Gotha Duck made her not feel lonely.

"Okay, okay, okay~" Goduck scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard that.

It is actually a Pokémon sent to the old lady by her daughter, and is responsible for taking care of the old lady's daily life.

Angel sat on a chair and chatted with the old lady, while Gotha Duck put the herbs they had just brought back on the rack in the yard to dry.

With Andrzej's intentional or unintentional questioning, he finally learned from the old lady the reason why Vanilla Village was xenophobic, and finally realized why the village chief suddenly changed his face when he proposed to buy vanilla.

Now that we know the reason, things become simple.

Seeing that it was getting late, Angie said goodbye to the old lady.

As he walked to the gate of the yard, he suddenly saw a Gotha duck coming in carrying a bunch of plants. These plants had roots similar to those of garlic.

"This is... Lily?" Angel asked in surprise.

Lily is a food ingredient as well as a traditional Chinese medicine. It has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, clearing the mind and calming the nerves. It is different from the ornamental lily.

The old lady came over and said, "Yes, I planted some when I had nothing to do."

Anjie thought about what he had promised Miss Qun'er, so he asked, "Grandma, can you sell me some lilies?"

The old lady took the lilies from Gotha Duck with a smile, and stuffed them into Anjie's hand, "I'm giving them to you. You don't need to buy them."

Anjie quickly said, "That won't work. You worked so hard to grow it."

The old lady smiled and said, "Just keep it if I give it to you! I planted a lot, and I can't eat it all. You're doing me a big favor by helping me digest some. If you really want to help me, catch all the Pokémon that come to the village to make trouble!"

Anjie hesitated and said, "Then I won't be polite. I will do my best for Pokémon!"

The old lady patted Angie's arm kindly.

In this way, Andrzej carried a bunch of lilies on his back and walked to the home of Village Chief Andrew. When he returned to Andrew's yard, he saw Grandma Julian sitting in the yard picking vegetables.

Seeing the lilies that Anjie was carrying, Yulian was surprised and asked, "What are these lilies..."

Angie replied, "I helped Grandma Lainie with a little favor. Grandma Lainie gave it to me."

"So it was Lainie who gave it to me!" Grandma Julian suddenly realized, "She is the only one in the village who grows so many lilies."

Anjie put the lilies aside and sat down to help Grandma Yulian pick vegetables. "I'll show you how to use these lilies at noon."

Grandma Yulian said with anticipation, "It looks like I'm in for a treat."

Anjie said modestly: "I'd like to trouble you to give me some guidance on cooking."

Grandma Yulian laughed and said, "We call this mutual learning!"

"Yes, learn from each other!" Angel nodded.

After all the vegetables were picked, Angie and Grandma Julian went into the kitchen together. Soon, puffs of green smoke rose from the chimney on the roof.

Ange and Grandma Yulian cooked, Aegisblade and Gardevoir helped out, and Aledo was responsible for making the fire.

When Andrew and Aya came back, they heard pleasant and relaxed conversation coming from the kitchen.

Andrew smiled and said to Aya: “It seems that your grandma is in a good mood today.”

In the kitchen, under the guidance of Grandma Julian, Angel learned how to incorporate various herbs unique to the Pokémon world into dishes, and benefited a lot from it.

Then Angie made a few more dishes using the lilies she got from Grandma Lainie.

First, there are two stir-fried dishes, one is stir-fried celery with lily, and the other is stir-fried lily with shrimp.

Then there is a cold dish, lily and kelp salad.

Finally, there is a pot of soup, lily and chicken soup.

As time went by, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.

The different aromas intertwined together, tempting Andrew and Aya in the kitchen to drool.

Seeing Anjie's skillful cooking movements, Yulian's grandmother was surprised and asked, "Anjie, you carry ingredients and seasonings with you when you go out?"

Anjie replied: "Yes, when you are away from home, you never know if you will run into a situation where you can't eat. Bring your own ingredients and cook whenever you want."

Grandma Yulian gave a thumbs up and said, "You are indeed a professional chef!"

Anjie said modestly: "You are also very good. I am far inferior to you in the use of vanilla!"

"Hahaha~~" Grandma Yulian laughed loudly upon hearing this. "That's right, having spent my entire life tending to herbs, I always know more about them than others."

After the dishes were out of the pot, Anjie took out a few dishes made with lilies and packed them into a lunch box.

Grandma Yulian asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Anjie smiled and replied: "The lilies were given by Grandma Lainie. I'll send some for her to try."

Grandma Yulian was startled when she heard this, then she looked at him with a kind gaze and said, "Good boy!"

Anjie had originally planned to personally deliver the food box to Grandma Lainie’s house, but he heard Grandma Yulian say, “Leave it to me!”

As she said this she walked to the window and shouted outside.

"Nini!"

"Wow~~" I saw a floating ball slowly floating into the house.

Nini is the name of the floating ball, and she is also a good helper of Grandma Yulian.

Grandma Yulian took the food box from Anjie, handed it to Piaopiaoqiu and said, "Nini, can you take this to Lainie's house?"

"Hoowa~Hoowa~" Piaopiao nodded happily, floated out of the window with the food box, and soon disappeared from the sight of Angel and Grandma Yulian.

"Okay, let's go eat!" said Grandma Julian.

Then Anjie and Grandma Yulian brought out the food.

Andrew looked at the dishes on the table that he had never seen before, sniffed his nose vigorously, and asked, "Did Anjie make all these?"

Grandma Yulian said, "Yes, isn't she very capable?"

Andrew swallowed his saliva and gave Anjie a thumbs up, "Great! Great!"

Anjie smiled and said, "Everyone, come and try it. How does it taste?"

"Then I won't be polite!" Andrew couldn't wait to taste it.

At the same time, at another table, Miss Qun'er, Hua Yeti and Hua Beibei were also having dinner.

Hua Yeti and Hua Beibei closed their eyes in enjoyment while eating.

The food Anjie cooks is always delicious no matter how many times I eat it.

Miss Quner scooped up a piece of shrimp with a spoon and put it into her mouth. The tender and smooth shrimp meat with the fragrance of lily instantly conquered her taste buds.

good to eat!

No matter how much it dislikes humans, it cannot deny Angel's craftsmanship.

Miss Skirt turned her head to look at Angie who was talking to Andrew's family. Coincidentally, Angie also looked over and blinked at her. It seemed as if those eyes could speak.

Beautiful lady in skirt, are you satisfied with my craftsmanship?
Miss Qun'er seemed to hear Angel's whispering in her ears.

snort!
Miss Skirt immediately turned her head away proudly and stopped looking at Anjie.

After lunch, Angel did not go out again, but stayed at Andrew's house to help Grandma Julian dry the freshly picked herbs.

Grandma Julian seemed to like Andrzej very much and taught him a lot of knowledge about vanilla, which benefited him a lot.

After dinner, Anjie and Miss Qun'er were sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool air, when suddenly Ah Xiang came running over in a hurry.

"Grandpa Andrew, Mr. Angel, they... they are coming again!"

It was just getting dark, and the troublesome Pokémon seemed to have arrived earlier than usual today.

Andrew jumped up from his chair, his face full of anger, "Let's go and take a look. I don't believe that I can't cure them!"

As he spoke, he walked quickly out of the yard. His agile steps did not seem like those of an old man at all.

Angel said to Miss Skirt and the others, "Let's go over and take a look!"

Miss Skirt nodded and followed Angel to chase after Andrew.

Soon Angel and his friends arrived at their destination. Today, the mysterious Pokémon was destroying another vanilla field.

This patch of vanilla was growing extremely lushly, and Angel and his friends could not see the Pokémon hiding in it. They could only hear the noises made by the Pokémon moving quickly through the vanilla bushes.

Angel turned on the wave perception and was surprised to find that there were only three Pokémon causing trouble today, not four like yesterday.
