My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 177 Conquering A-Rank Cuisine

A few hours later, dusk fell.

The last little fairy was finally able to wear the heart-shaped candy ornament she had chosen, and it began to spin in the sunset.

"Poyoyo!"

As the light of evolution faded, the final three-color mixed flavor Alcremie also successfully evolved.

Her entire outfit is predominantly lemon-flavored, accented with creamy vanilla, caramel, and mint, creating a complex flavor profile.

Unlike the other two Creamy Fairy products, her cream has a complex aroma that blends a subtle floral and fruity scent.

"Eeyo~" The Three-Colored Cream Fairy twirled gracefully, her skirt scattering colorful cream that looked like a dreamy rainbow in the afterglow of the setting sun.

She gently waved her hand, creating a tree fruit decorated with colorful butter, and handed it to Tong Hua first. This tree fruit was not only beautiful in appearance, but its fragrance was also delightful.

"Congratulations, Tricolor!" Tong Hua happily accepted the tree fruit, her face beaming with joy.

With this, all three little fairy milks have completed their evolution, and Fairy Tale Ranch welcomes three new members!

Foam squirrels and messenger birds eagerly gathered around, curiously examining the unique colors of the three-colored Alcremie.

"Eek~"

The three Alcremie fairies gathered together, looked at each other and smiled, all adjusting to their new bodies. They could no longer drift aimlessly; they had to keep their feet on the ground.

Tong Hua beckoned the three Cream Fairies into the kitchen, wanting to see first what quality their cream was currently producing.

After all, the fresh cream produced by the well-cared-for Creamy Fairy is of the highest quality, and Tong Hua felt that her own Creamy Fairy should at least be of B grade quality.

Tong Hua led three Alcremie into the kitchen, followed quickly by Delibird and Slimie. The other Pokémon, seeing this, gathered around the window and curiously peered into the kitchen.

"Come on, try out your current cream." Tong Hua took out three clean large bowls and placed them on the kitchen counter.

Red Diamond Cream Fairy first waved elegantly, and the bowl was immediately filled with fragrant strawberry red cream, exuding a rich milky aroma.

[Frozen Cream (Red Diamond Assorted Flavor): Quality B, a specially made fresh cream containing blissful energy, it brings joy and has a calming effect.]

As expected, the cream from Creamy Fairy reached grade B, just as Tong Hua had predicted.

Tong Hua scooped up a spoonful, took a small taste, and her eyes lit up immediately!

For no other reason than that his [Recipe Guide] suddenly contained many more Grade A dishes made with this fresh cream!

Having unlocked the recipes for these A-grade dishes, doesn't that mean Tong Hua is now able to make A-grade dishes?

Tong Hua excitedly flipped through the new recipe that appeared in her mind, including the Grade A Happiness Strawberry Cake that she had made once before.

"I see. It seems that many of these recipes were already unlocked, but using B-grade whipping cream can upgrade them to A-grade quality."

This discovery further solidified Tong Hua's determination to develop the ranch plan.

In other words, the main focus is on breeding, raising more high-quality Pokémon to produce offspring, which will then be supplied to Happiness Dessert Shop and other shops that will be opened in the future.

Starting with raw materials, they produced and sold their own produce, then processed it before reselling it, developing Fairy Tale Ranch into a brand. Just like his parents, who were fashion designers, did back on Earth in his previous life.

"Ahem, I accidentally got my thoughts too far ahead—"

Tong Hua composed herself and stopped thinking about those upsetting things.

"But the effect of this cream is just too good! The information panel says it has a soul-soothing effect," and it really does seem to have shaken my soul.

"I think it's perfectly fine to use it as holy water for exorcising evil spirits."

Tong Hua said jokingly, while the other two Cream Fairies also divided their cream.

"Ouch!"

The crème brûlée waved gracefully, its bowl overflowing with golden caramel cream, emitting a warm and enticing aroma.

The three-colored cream fairy twirled and leaped, spilling her cream, instantly staining the bowl with their colors.

With this endless supply of cream, Tong Hua no longer needs to worry about raw materials.

Without further ado, Tong Hua immediately wanted to try making an A-grade dish.

Everyone outside the window rushed into the kitchen, wanting to help Tong Hua prepare dinner.

Tong Hua eagerly took out the ingredients for making the Happy Strawberry Cake. This time, he was going to use Red Diamond Creamy Fairy's B...

Grade cream.

"Put the remaining cream in the refrigerator to chill."

Thankfully we have refrigerators now, otherwise I wouldn't know how to store things.

The power of science is truly amazing!

Tong Hua carefully put the remaining cream into the refrigerator to chill, and then began to focus on making the Happy Strawberry Cake.

The Pokémon were also helping to move the materials, just like at the Spring Festival. Everyone worked together to make the soft cake base and cream.

However, unlike last time, Tong Hua is now a level 45 chef, and the Pokémon helping him are more numerous and stronger than before.

Under Tong Hua's leadership, the Pokémon performed their duties and cooperated seamlessly.

After a recent period of intense leveling up, Tong Hua could clearly feel the changes happening to her.

If in the past he was cooking under the control of a cheat system, with the dishes being made automatically in the background.

So now he is cooking according to his own will after understanding the principles and functions of each step.

Especially when you start using creative cooking skills, you can feel the effort you put into your dishes.

The sense of accomplishment from honing her skills was so captivating that Tong Hua couldn't stop.

Tong Hua can clearly perceive the characteristics of each ingredient, as if she can converse with them.

He had complete control over all the details, from the gluten content of the flour and the temperature of the cream to the sweetness of the strawberries.

His hands were manipulated entirely according to his own will, every movement precise and elegant.

"Is this what it feels like to be able to stand on your own?"

The Pokémon also noticed that Tong Hua's cooking skills had improved. They were all amazed by Tong Hua's smooth and skillful movements, and were deeply attracted by his superb cooking skills.

When the cake was put into the oven, Tong Hua was even able to sense the changes inside through waveguide power.

The batter slowly expanded under high temperature, and the butter gradually melted and seeped in; all these processes were clearly presented in his perception.

"Ding!" The oven beeped, and Tong Hua carefully took out the finished product.

This time, it wasn't the invisible Celebi secretly unleashing its Flash spell. It was the Happy Strawberry Cake itself that was radiating dazzling light!

A dish that glows!

Tong Hua didn't even need to think to know that the quality of this cake had definitely reached Grade A!

[Strawberry Cake: Quality A, a cake carefully baked with fresh strawberries and special cream, with a delicate and pinkish appearance.]

[Effect: Friendship Boost - Large, greatly increases the friendship between a Pokémon and its Trainer. (Only applies to Pokémon.)]

[Large Red Diamond of Happiness: Consumes and permanently increases luck stats; effective only once.]

[Review: Sharing happiness and sweetness with you.]

Recommended processing method (alchemy).

The success of this dish means that Tong Hua has finally conquered the A-level cuisine.

From now on, even Grade A dishes will just be products of Happiness Dessert Shop.

However, if the luck stat is increased for everyone in the entire region, does that mean everyone becomes lucky, or does it mean there is no change?

Tong Hua seemed to foresee that all the world's good fortune would converge on Almia—
