My Pokémon Story of Seasons

To complete the final step, Tong Hua preheated the newly purchased oven, preparing to place the tea bowl soup on it and steam it.

He gently tapped the oven's exterior, the cast iron shell resonating heavily.

This oven is ingeniously designed, using a three-layer insulation structure to maintain a uniform temperature, and adjustable vents to precisely control the heat.

"Let's try heating it up first."

Tong Hua added a few pieces of the boss's specially made, fiery red tumbler-shaped fuel blocks into the furnace, and flames immediately leaped up.

Sweet Wu Ni curiously leaned closer to observe, and saw Tong Hua holding his palm above the oven, feeling the changes in heat.

When the temperature reached the ideal state, he quickly extinguished the open flame and then placed the prepared tea bowl covered with a plate into the oven.

Using the residual heat and steam from charcoal fires to steam tea bowl soup was a whimsical idea that Tong Hua came up with on a whim.

He gently closed the oven's vent, leaving only a narrow gap to allow the temperature inside to drop slowly, maintaining a gentle simmer. Sweet Wuni squatted beside him, her ears twitching slightly, as if she could hear the gentle trembling of the egg mixture in the bowl.

Twenty minutes later, Tong Hua carefully opened the oven door, and a warm, fragrant aroma of eggs mixed with the sweet scent of bamboo shoots wafted out.

Tong Hua took out the teacup and lifted the plate covering it. Amidst the rising steam, the surface of the teacup was as smooth as a mirror, trembling slightly, like a piece of tender tofu.

Finally, sprinkle with pre-cut slices of black truffle...

Mission accomplished!

Thin truffle slices, as delicate as cicada wings, drifted down like snowflakes onto the teacup. Upon contact with the steam from the steamed egg, they immediately curled and unfurled, releasing all their pent-up aroma.

Sweet Wuni's nose twitched, and she sneezed slightly from the sudden, strong smell.

"La-beep!" "Fou!"

Celebi and Mini Fu, who were standing nearby, couldn't resist the smell either.

"Don't rush, don't rush! Be careful, it'll burn you..."

While stopping the Pokémon from fighting over each other, Tong Hua kept her eyes glued to the information panel that appeared.

【Truffle Bamboo Shoot Chawanmushi: Quality B. This Japanese chawanmushi blends premium ingredients, garnished with tender bamboo shoot pieces and rich black truffle. The steamed egg custard is delicate as silk, melts in your mouth, and offers a rich and elegant flavor.】

[Review: Elegant.]

Recommended processing method (alchemy).

"It's clearly a B-grade quality product, yet it only has a time-limited effect?"

This was the first time Tong Hua had ever seen a B-grade dish that didn't have a permanent effect, and this sparked a burst of inspiration...

"It doesn't seem very practical?"

Tong Hua scratched his head, thinking to himself that he wasn't a writer or a painter or anything like that. What use was this burst of inspiration?

"Ama ama!"

Sweet Wu Ni beside him was already impatiently tugging at his trouser leg, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the teacup steamer on the table.

Seeing the longing look in Tian Wuni's eyes, Tong Hua helplessly rubbed her little head: "Alright, eat up."

Tong Hua picked up the teacup and shared it with Tian Wuni and the shilabis, then picked up...

Tong Hua made a total of eight portions. Besides the four little ones in the house and himself, he could also give one portion each to the forest turtle, foam squirrel, and worm in the field.

So Tong Hua opened the window and called the three of them over.

"Fufu."

Tong Hua picked up Mini Fu and, just like she used to take care of Tian Zhuzhu, fed her spoonful by spoonful.

Mini Fu opened her little mouth and gently took the spoon that Tong Hua handed her.

The moment the delicate steamed egg custard slid into her mouth, the leaves on the top of her head suddenly stood up with a "whoosh"!

"Foo! Fufu!"

Suddenly, Mini Fu broke free from Tong Hua's embrace and jumped onto the floor. She then began uncontrollably spraying oil!

Just as Tong Hua was about to step forward to stop her, Mini Fu suddenly turned around, and the flavorful olive oil sprayed directly onto Tong Hua's apron.

Tong Hua: "..."

I must say, this pattern that formed by chance actually looks quite artistic.

"What the hell?! What's going on here?"

As Tong Hua looked at the uncontrollable Mini Fu in front of her, she was puzzled, but Tian Wu Ni's reaction was even more exaggerated.

As soon as she swallowed her first bite, her body involuntarily began to spin, and she began to dance a magnificent dance she had never seen before.

"Huh?"

She even learned new moves during the dance!

"Ah ma, ah ma, ah ma!"

One, two, three—three consecutive kicks, each one carrying a chilling aura.

Tong Hua recognized it at a glance: it was an ice-type move, Triple Spin!

"Could it be... the effect of a sudden burst of inspiration?"

Tong Hua then looked at the other Pokémon, most of which were also in a state of being out of control.

Only two Celebi seemed to be fine, happily savoring the tea soup.

"Game!" "Terrible!" "Worm!"

Tong Hua looked out at the fields where the three Pokémon, Torterra, Foam Squirrel, and Worm, were gathered together, chattering away, seemingly discussing something.

As Tong Hua looked at them, a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

As the saying goes, when three boys get together, one of them is bound to come up with a brilliant idea.

Especially now, with their inspiration flowing freely, who knows what they might do!

"You three! Wait a minute!"

Tong Hua rushed outside and forcefully intervened in the conversation between the three Pokémon, nipping their idea in the bud.

"call……"

Tong Hua breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to bring the situation under control.

"I never imagined that such a small bowl of tea soup could have such a terrifying effect..."

Thinking about how she had underestimated this burst of inspiration, Tong Hua couldn't help but shake her head.

"It's making me a little hesitant to eat it, but since I've already made it, it seems like a waste not to eat it."

Tong Hua returned to the kitchen, thought about it, and decided to eat her own portion.

Tong Hua carefully scooped up a spoonful of steamed egg custard and put it in her mouth. The moment the custard melted on her tongue, a peculiar coolness rushed to her head, and countless colorful images flashed before her eyes.

"This is……"

He felt his mind suddenly become unusually active, with all sorts of wildly imaginative ideas constantly popping into his head.

Tong Hua quickly controlled her thoughts, or rather, guided them in a direction she could control.

"By the way, perhaps the display platform for dessert shops could be designed like this..."

Tong Hua's fingers moved uncontrollably in the air, as if a three-dimensional design drawing appeared before her eyes.

His mind raced, constantly refining every detail in his head.

It sounds strange, but this feeling is really addictive.

After having the idea, Tong Hua immediately began to put it into practice.

After bringing the timber from the warehouse on the other side of the grassland with his worms, he quickly began construction outside the wooden house.

As Tong Hua picked up the handsaw, his profession instantly switched to wood carving.

Tong Hua's hands seemed to be guided by some magical force, and every movement of sawing wood, nailing, and assembling was smooth and effortless.

What would normally take half a day to complete was now done in just ten minutes.

Tong Hua's eyes sparkled as new improvement plans kept popping into her mind.

"The ground needs to be raised... the ceiling needs to be designed with an adjustable angle..."

Tong Hua muttered to himself as he quickly adjusted the design. Several Pokémon nimbly darted between the pieces of wood, precisely passing various tools and materials.

Finally, just as the inspiration burst effect ended, Tong Hua completed the platform setup.

Even the shelves for displaying the goods were fully assembled.

The dessert shop seems ready to open for business.
