Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

With such a super cute elf as the poster girl, wouldn’t the business be booming?

Jiang Cheng seemed to see a thriving future for his hot spring spa!

Chapter 126: Teaching Evil and Guiyan to Read

Jiang Cheng's table full of delicious dishes was eaten up completely.

It turns out that Garchomp's appetite is not to be underestimated, but similarly, Mamane and Gastly are not good people either.

Jiang Cheng was very happy. As a cook, there was nothing more comforting than seeing diners feasting on their food.

After this big meal, the spices in the house have been basically used up. It seems that the plan to go to Donghuang must be accelerated.

After the dinner, it was time to say goodbye. After all, Tyranitar was not his Pokémon. It had stayed with Jiang Cheng for a long time and had to go back.

Whether it was the experience in the healing center or the feast, he enjoyed it very much. After this trip, Land Shark even felt that he had made some money.

In fact, it is not easy to prepare a big meal, and it is even more difficult to clean up after eating.

But now Jiang Chengze has no such worry at all.

"Rotom!"

"Here comes Lotor!"

"Turn on the washing machine and dishwasher!"

"Got Lotto!"

Mamane was indeed quite capable at the hot springs. He brought almost all the useful Rotom machines with him, greatly improving Jiang Cheng's life convenience.

Of course, every time a machine was installed, Jiang Cheng would flatter him in the same way he used to coax Erguiyan, but the kid just fell for it.

Maybe it was because of the environment she grew up in, where she was too eager to be recognized, or because of too much pressure, that caused Mamane's current personality.

Flutterbear went to training again, Gastly ate too much and fell asleep on the urn, Frostmilk returned to his post, and Magikarp, contrary to its usual behavior, did not do the splashing jump, but swam in a very strange trajectory underwater, as if he was performing some kind of dance.

In the hot springs, every elf has something to do.

Jiang Cheng lay on the recliner, clicked into the system store, and started browsing Taobao.

After a few days of operation and sign-in, I got a lot of Meow Meow Coins. After deducting the part I spent on Land Shark last night, I still have several hundred.

Jiang Cheng plans to use this gold coin to enrich his external kitchen by taking advantage of the opportunity of opening the business to reward customers.

For example, a self-service beverage vending machine can sell some beverages.

Jiang Cheng noticed that there seemed to be no carbonated refreshing drinks like Coke, Sprite, and Fanta in this world. If he could launch one, he would surely make a lot of money.

I also got a hot dog griller and sold some grilled sausages. Jiang Cheng didn’t plan to add bread because the bread crumbs would be too troublesome to clean up. In comparison, bamboo sticks are much more convenient.

Of course, there is also the most expensive cake cabinet, which is worth up to 450 Meow Meow gold coins. Like the ice cream machine, it can choose small cakes of different species to sell every day.

And a milk tea machine worth 350, which can make three different flavors of milk tea every day.

Whether it is cake or milk tea, it is a very good choice.

It’s a pity that I don’t have enough financial resources, so I can only choose one of the two.

In the end, based on the preferences of his own elf, Jiang Cheng chose the cake cabinet. Since there was already a beverage vending machine, cake was still better.

After this wave, the number of Meow Meow Gold Coins he had accumulated returned to double digits, but Jiang Cheng's hot spring center had a few more items that he could sell to the public and taste himself.

The turnover has reached over 400. Next, Jiang Cheng plans to use this opening promotion to accumulate some Meow Meow Coins. After the store is upgraded again, he will renovate the furnishings in the backyard and the hot spring hall.

After everything was settled, Jiang Cheng opened his eyes and saw Erguiyan who had been guarding him.

"Boni!" You woke up!

"Has Erguiyan always been by my side?" Jiang Cheng asked with a smile.

"Boni" Erguiyan didn't know what to do.

So that's it...Jiang Cheng suddenly realized.

Before in Beishang Township, Erguiyan had always gone out to find food and then returned to the cave to rest. After coming to the hot spring hall, he no longer had to go out to find food, and instead, Erguiyan didn't know what to do.

Jiang Cheng actually didn't know exactly what to assign Uruk-O to do, and he wanted to let the little guy choose for himself. To be honest, there were really many possibilities for a humanoid Pokémon like Uruk-O.

One is, as mentioned before, to let the little one act as a signboard girl to attract customers. I believe Erguiyan will not refuse, but the child has just come from a place where he has been despised and misunderstood by everyone for hundreds of years, and it will take some time for him to change his mentality.

It will be open these days anyway, so why not bring the little one with you for a look and let him decide what to do.

"That's right!" Jiang Cheng slapped his forehead, how could he have forgotten about this!

Jiang Cheng turned his head with a smile: "Does Erguiyan like to live in human settlements?"

"Boni!" Erguiyan likes living with Jiang Cheng!

“I see…” Does Erguiyan know where this place is?

The little guy shook his head.

“This is a hot spring resort.”

"Boni Ao~" Hot Spring Hall~

"A hot spring center is a place where people go to soak in hot springs and relax. Many people come here at night to soak in hot springs, relax, and buy some delicious food they like... and we earn their money to support our lives."

"Boni" Ergui looked at Jiang Cheng without blinking.

"Now Ergui is also a member of the hot spring hall."

"Boni-ao!" Ohana!

"Yes, Ohana, when I was cooking today, I felt that Uruk-O was super smart and a very powerful Pokémon, so I had an idea."

"Bonnie?"

"Evil Spirit can become smarter and more powerful, and can help me more."

"Boniao!" Help more!

The little guy agreed and became distressed again. How can he become smarter?

"If you want to become smarter, you have to read. How about I teach Erguiyan how to read?"

Can "Boni" help Jiang Chengcheng by learning to read and write?

"Learning to read and write may help me, but the most important thing is that it can help Erguiyan find his own way."

"Boni?" Your own way?

"It's about what you want to do, what you don't want to do, where you want to go, where you don't want to go."

"Boni-ao!"

Erguiyan wants to be with Jiang Cheng!

“Studying will be hard”

"Bonnie!"

"But it will make Eruption smarter."

"Boni!!"

Erguiyan needs to learn! Be smart and help Jiang Cheng!

"It's settled then. I will teach Erguiyan from now on."

"Bonnie!"

"Let me think, what should I learn first? How about this, I teach Erkui to write his own name first?"

"Boni-ao!"

Chapter 127: Learning Chinese Characters

Just do it. Now that the decision has been made, there is still some time before the opening, so why not teach a few words first.

When learning for the first time, there is no need to teach how to hold a pen. A small sandbox and a small branch are very good teaching tools.

The sandbox is very simple. Just find a small square tray. Alola is surrounded by the sea, so you can get some sand from the beach. It doesn’t cost a penny and is very environmentally friendly.

After putting the sand into the tray and smoothing it out, Jiang Cheng handed a small branch to Erguiyan.

He had been holding the thick thorny vine stick, but suddenly he had to pick up the small branches. Erguilang was a little uncomfortable with it, but he still obediently followed Jiang Cheng's instructions and did it.

"Since we have to learn to read, let's start by learning Ergui's name, right? That way, Ergui will also know who he is."

"Boni!" Xiao Ergui stared at the sand table in front of Jiang Cheng.

"First, it's the word 'Er' in 'Ergui'." Jiang Cheng slowly wrote down four strokes on the sand table: horizontal, left-falling stroke, horizontal hook, and vertical hook.

"Bonnie!"

"Yes, this is the word 'Evil'. Isn't it simple?"

"Boni-ao!" It's very simple!

"Do you remember that, Erguiyan?"

"Bonnie!"

"Then let Erguiyan write it yourself." Jiang Cheng smoothed out the words he had written and gave the position on the sand table to Erguiyan.

Erguiyan held the small branch with a serious face, and wrote the four strokes strictly according to the order in which Jiang Cheng had written the characters before, even imitating Jiang Cheng's position.

The posture of holding the twig was a little awkward, but the handwriting was neat, and was about 60% similar to what Jiang Cheng had written before.

"My previous judgment was indeed correct. Uruk-O only needed to take a glance at the characters I taught him and he remembered them. He was able to write them exactly like me. He is truly a gifted and intelligent Pokémon!"

Eruption narrowed his eyes and smiled widely.

"Now that we have learned the first word, it seems that with Ergui's intelligence, the second word should be no problem, right?"

"Boni-ao!"

Jiang Cheng smoothed the sand table again and wrote the word "gui" on it while reciting the stroke order.

"This is the second character, gui, which is based on er with some more radicals."

This character is actually a bit difficult, with many strokes and is relatively obscure. This time, Ergui put his little head on the sand table, tilted his head and looked at it carefully for a long time before nodding: "Boni!"

"Then Erguiyan, try to write it. It's okay. You can write it several times."

Write "Boni Ao~" a few more times~

Erguiyan lowered his head, with a stern face, and wrote carefully and seriously on the sand table, stroke by stroke.

Jiang Cheng was a little surprised.

The character "尔" is okay, with only four strokes and a relatively simple font. The character "诡" is said to have a few more strokes than the character "尔", but it is still quite difficult to remember. However, I can also write "尔圭椪" quite well, and, again, it is very similar to my own font.

Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Eruption held the twig in his hand and glanced at him furtively.

"My God!"

Jiang Cheng exclaimed in amazement: "Ergui Yan was able to write such a difficult character all at once. Could it be that Ergui Yan is a one-in-a-million genius?"

"Then let's stop here today. Urukyuu really gave me a big surprise today, but learning two characters a day is already the limit of what we humans can learn. Even for a Pokémon as powerful as Urukyuu, it's not easy to learn so many characters. I'm afraid Urukyuu is already feeling a bit tired, especially the last character, which is really difficult. Why don't we learn it tomorrow?"

Jiang Cheng was not fooling around. If "gui" was just a little uncommon, then "椪" was a truly uncommon character. For something like "椪桔", if you have not studied it specifically, you generally would not know how to pronounce it.

Erguiyan was a little anxious, jumping around and raising his hands.

"Boni Boni!" I must learn it!

"this....."

"Boni-ao!" I can learn it!!
