Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 168 Monini's Restaurant Plan

Although there didn't seem to be much to do, Fang Yan and Xia Lan were still busy until the afternoon with the help of the Pokémon in the breeding center and the forest Pokémon.

The main problem was that Gengar and the others started causing a huge disturbance while helping out, resulting in congestion at the scene.

In the end, it was Fangyan who stepped in and let some of the Pokémon rest, which calmed things down.

After finishing her work, Monini ran out wearing a chef's hat.

"Nini, Monini~"

Dinner's ready!

Fang Yan went back to his room, took a shower, then took out the Everlasting Stone and went downstairs.

Fang Yan hung the Everstone around Monini's neck because Monini didn't want to evolve.

Monini held the Everstone in her hands and laughed with immense joy.

Then she remembered that her great-aunt had given Monini a gift, and Fang Yan glanced at it.

[Monini's Menu: Monini's creations will be added to the menu according to her own needs, and the selected dishes will be slightly varied.]

As Fang Yan ate the food prepared by Monini and Miss Goth, she recalled the words she had heard that day.

I remember when I first learned to cook, I would dream of opening a restaurant—that's what I call "Grandma Yi".

Since this is my great-aunt's wish, and it just so happens that Monini also loves to cook.

Fang Yan looked at Monini, who was happily eating her meal, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Monini, how about you consider opening a cafeteria?"

"Nini?"

Monini looked at Fang Yan curiously. "Canteen? What's a canteen?"

Xia Lan, Shana, the Fujino couple, Gengar, Miss Skirt, Miss Gothic, and a whole host of other Pokémon were also drawn to the dialect.

Fang Yan swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up a chicken wing, put it in his bowl, and then looked at Monini and continued, "Monini's Restaurant sells the food you make, so that passing travelers can stop and have a delicious meal and take a short rest."

Monini's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Fang Yan, nodding repeatedly.

Fang Yan smiled, patted its little head, and said, "Eat your food properly. After you finish eating, we'll go outside and make some plans together."

Monini lowered her head and began to eat her meal in large bites.

"That's great! Monini is going to be a great gourmet too! Then the nursery will have two gourmets, and Shana can eat lots and lots of delicious food."

Shana's cheeks were puffed out, her little mouth was constantly chewing, and then she opened her mouth in a muffled way.

Since Monini likes it, and it's also my wish, why not do it?

After finishing their meal, Fang Yan led Monini to the breeding path outside the breeding house. Next to the breeding house was an open space with piles of stones and wood cleared from the road construction. It would be a good choice to use it as a canteen.

After discussing their opinions with Xia Lan and the Fujino couple, Fang Yan let Monini sit on his shoulders and then took out his phone to call Mayor Qiyi.

After telling him her thoughts, she asked herself if she could use the vacant land. Mayor Qiyi generously gave the land to Fang Yan.

After seeing Fang Yan nod, Xia Lan also took out her phone and went to the side to contact the moving company.

After finishing all that, Fang Yan returned to the rest area of ​​the breeding house and sat down. The location was taken care of, the chef was taken care of, and the next thing to deal with was the menu.

Fang Yan took out a blank menu and placed it in front of Monini.

"Monini, how about we use this as a menu? Tonight we'll discuss which dishes would be suitable to be listed here as the cafeteria's menu and sold to our customers."

Monini nodded, then picked up the menu, which was bigger than herself, and wobbled as if she was about to fall over.

Miss Goth was startled and almost used her telekinesis to protect Monini.

However, it did not do that; it ultimately held back, after all, it could not overprotect Monini.

Monini sensed a mysterious force drawing it in from the menu.

After Fang Yan planted the seeds in the backyard, and then brought back a large pile of vegetables with Gengar and the others, O

Dali and the others had already moved the table out to the backyard, and then sat on the chairs.

Several large round tables were occupied by Xia Lan, Shana, the Fujino couple, Gengar, Miss Skirt, Miss Gothic, and Vulpix.

The people at the breeding center and all the Pokémon are eagerly anticipating the delicious food prepared by Monini.

Inside the kitchen, Fang Yan was helping Monini.

Monini looked at the various ingredients and was momentarily caught in a dilemma.

There are too many ingredients; it doesn't know where to begin.

Fang Yan comforted it from the side, "It's okay, any one of them is fine, you can do any of the ones I usually teach you."

Monini nodded, then picked up a carrot, and with a flick of her little hand, the cleaver spun around in her hand a few times before she suddenly chopped down on the carrot.

Da da da da.

Monini gradually regained her composure, and soon the first dish was ready.

Monini served a bite to everyone and the Pokémon, and received unanimous praise.

Then more and more dishes were brought out of the kitchen by Fang Yan. Most of them were home-style dishes, but there were also some more elaborate dishes that Mo Ni Ni usually learned from TV.

Fang Yan stopped Monini, who wanted to continue cooking, saying, "That's enough, Monini. We'd feel bad if you got tired. Let's stop here for now, and we'll add more later, okay?"

Exhausted, Monini was held in Fang Yan's arms and nodded.

Fang Yan served the last dish of braised pork, and unsurprisingly, it once again received high praise from everyone present and the Pokémon.

Lying in Fang Yan's arms, Monini laughed happily. Fang Yan sat down and slowly savored the delicious food that Monini had carefully prepared.

Monini lay quietly in Fang Yan's arms, listening to the sounds of chatting, playing around, and practicing sparring.

She slowly closed her eyes.

Fang Yan noticed that Monini had fallen asleep in his arms, so after finishing dinner, he carried Monini back to the house.

"Nini?"

Monini opened its eyes and found it was pitch black. It touched the side and found Fang Yan lying next to it. It groped around for a while, and then poked its little head out from under the covers.

It just so happens that it faces the six-tailed four-eyed creature sleeping on the other side of the dialect.

Six-Tails, emerging from Fangyan's blankets, turned to see that Mominion had also emerged from Fangyan's blankets. The two Pokémon exchanged a secret smile, quietly climbed out of their blankets, jumped off the bed, washed up, and then ran downstairs together.

Fang Yan rolled over, touched the side next to him, and found it empty. He rolled over to the other side, touched it again, and found it empty as well.

He opened his eyes, glanced out the window, and saw that it was already daylight; the sound of broadcast gymnastics could still be heard coming from the balcony.

After the morning exercises ended, Fang Yan got out of bed, washed up with Gengar who had returned to his room, and went downstairs.

After going downstairs and eating the breakfast prepared by Monini, Fang Yan sat down in the rest area, where Monini brought out the menu.

"Nini."

Monini placed the menu in Fang Yan's hand, gesturing for him to take a look.

Fang Yan picked up the tea that Miss Goth had brewed for him, took a sip, and then picked up the menu that Monini had handed him and started looking at it.

[Stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers: One of the home-style dishes at Manini's canteen in the animal shelter, made by Manini herself, learned from her dialect. Blessed by Manini: its slightly spicy flavor will drive away the traveler's chill and improve their mood.]

[Monini's Braised Pork Belly: The most popular home-style dish at the Breeding House, with a rich yet not greasy texture. Blessed by Monini: Greatly dispels traveler's fatigue and improves mood.]

[Special Dialect Version of Pig's Trotter Rice: Soft and chewy texture, excellent flavor. Blessed by Monini:]

It greatly increases a traveler's feeling of fullness; no matter how heavy the workload, after finishing this hearty bowl of pork knuckle rice, you won't be hungry again until the next meal.

The menu features over a dozen dishes, all of which are common home-style dishes that are often made in the local dialect. These were also the dishes that received the most approval last night, and Monini included them in the menu.

Looking at the description on the menu, Fang Yan felt that every dish on the menu was perfect for the dining hall, and the prices were reasonable.

Closing the menu, Fang Yan nodded. "It suits you perfectly, Monini."

Monini was overjoyed to hear the dialect spoken.

Soon, the construction team arrived, and with unexpected speed, a small canteen appeared next to the breeding house. Fang Yan hung up the sign.

Monini's Loving Little Canteen.

It also has a little Monini logo printed on it.

There were several tables inside, each with a specific menu.

Looking at the newly renovated canteen, Fang Yan walked in and looked around. Overall, everything was very good. He watched as Monini walked around, holding a rag, wiping everything down, her mouth never closing.

"Nini, Monini~"

The construction team leader stood next to Fang Yan and asked, "Are you getting ready to open a canteen?"

Fang Yan nodded. "Yes, let's give passersby a place to eat."

The construction team leader looked at Fang Yan and nodded repeatedly.

The owner of the breeding center has always been so kind. As a resident of Futaba Town, he is grateful for what Fang Yan has done.

"Then you're probably going to make a fortune, store manager."

Fang Yan laughed heartily, "Let's hope so."

The construction team leader also laughed.

As the road between Futaba Town and Sandstone Town, this road is frequented by many people every day. Every day, ships stop at the port of Futaba Town, and many trainers from other regions choose to disembark in Futaba Town and then travel along this road to Sandstone Town to visit Professor Yamanashi. Therefore, this road is always used by a large number of people.

Therefore, the canteen at the breeding house is very likely not to lose money; on the contrary, it may even be extremely popular.

Fang Yan glanced at the time; it was lunchtime. He looked at the construction team leader and said, "Captain, it's lunchtime. Would you like to try the food in our canteen?"

The construction team leader was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with pleasure.

He led the other construction workers into the canteen, then saw Fang Yan sitting next to them and asked in confusion, "Isn't the manager supposed to be cooking?"

Fang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Do you still remember what the canteen was called?"

What's it called? Isn't it just Monini Cafeteria—or could it be...?

The construction team leader realized what was happening and looked at Fang Yan, who then shouted, "Monini, show us your skills!"

"Nini!"

Monini received!

The kitchen was bustling with activity, and soon, generous portions of braised pork trotters with rice were served.

The construction workers and their Pokémon were having a great time eating.

When the bill came, even the construction team leader was surprised. It was so cheap!

Then, looking at Fang Yan, he saw that Fang Yan was giving Monini a thumbs-up.

The construction team leader paid Gengar for the meal, and in his mind, he also gave Fangyan a discount on the price of building the canteen.

They could have sold it for a higher price, but they set the price so low, just so that passersby could have a full meal?

As expected of you, dialect shop manager, Monini.

When Fang Yan was paying for the construction, he discovered that he had been shortchanged and looked at the construction team leader.

The construction team leader pointed to his neck, and then the two of them burst into laughter.

Fang Yan laughed until tears streamed down her face.

I never expected that just by helping my great-aunt and Monini fulfill their wishes and then incidentally providing a hot meal for passersby, I would receive such a great reward of kindness.

Indeed, emotions are the most complex thing.

Whether it's between humans and Pokémon, or between humans themselves.

If you show even a little kindness, you will always be rewarded with even greater kindness.

This is the Pokémon world I've always dreamed of.

Fang Yan watched as Monini was tidying up the tables, then smiled at a few passersby and called out, "Everyone, Monini's Cafeteria is now open! Would you like to give it a try?"
