Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 495 Summer Sea Mist, Gentle Breeze, Miss Dress, and Tea

"Goth?"

Are you sure this is how it's done?

In the backyard of the breeding center, Miss Gothic floated in the air, staring at Gengar holding a large spatula, and asked with a suspicious look on her face.

Fang Yan stood beside Gengar, watching the video on the tablet intently with Gengar.

That's what the video says.

Fang Yan replied.

Miss Goth frowned, looking at the human and the ghost who were watching the tutorial.

Gengar got tired of holding the large spatula, so it handed it to Mighty and then used its free hand to scratch its big butt.

"Kou Jie?"

Shall we give it a try first?

"No way! It's just a small amount of tea leaves. I'd be heartbroken if it failed."

Fangyan immediately rejected Gengar's suggestion.

There aren't many places cultivated for tea planting, so the amount of tea planted isn't very large. The main reason is that Miss Qun'er only picks the parts that contain the most plant essence, which results in even less tea leaves needing to be processed.

If Gengar were to try, and it failed, Fangyan's heart would truly break.

"口桀"

what is it now?

Fang Yan watched the uncle in the video, who was skillfully stir-frying tea leaves. Fang Yan could smell the fragrance of the tea leaves even through the screen.

"Hmm—shall we give it a try?"

Fang Yan finally gave in, and upon hearing this, Gengar immediately snatched the large spatula back from Dali's hands.

That huge spatula, a full 1.4 meters long, I don't know where Gengar stole it from.

Although it's called a spatula, it actually looks more like a spoon, but Gengar just keeps calling it a spatula.

Fang Yan thought about it and realized that calling it a spatula wasn't a bad idea, since what kind of soup ladle is that big? It couldn't be the soup ladle that Alakazam has Dynamaxed, could it?

"Miss Skirt, please pour in the tea leaves."

Miss Skirt, who was holding a basket nearby, poured the tea leaves she had picked into the basket after hearing the dialect voice.

Miss Goth felt something was off. She floated to Fang Yan's side, stared at the tablet in Fang Yan's hand for a while, and then suddenly realized.

Just as Gengar was about to light the fire, Miss Gothic called out to everyone. Fang Yan turned around, and Miss Gothic pointed to the tablet and showed it to him.

"Goethe".

Miss Goth looked at Fang Yan with her purple eyes, her tone filled with helplessness and seriousness.

Look at other people's comments. The blogger is a seasoned cook who knows how to use the right amount of force. If you just copy their style without knowing how to use the right amount of force, and then use such a heavy spatula, you'll end up crushing the whole can of tea leaves into powder in no time. In that case, there will be no aroma, and you'll have ruined the tea leaves that you worked so hard to grow. It's not worth it.

Fang Yan carefully read the comments in the comment section before realizing that he had been forgetting to read them.

"That makes sense!"

Fang Yan belatedly realized that Gengar was wielding the large spatula with great force; with that kind of strength, a few shovelfuls would probably ruin the tea leaves in the pot.

"Goethe".

Miss Gothic used her mental powers to gently pick up the tea leaves from the pot and place them in front of Fang Yan.

Look at our tea leaves. They are extremely tender, with a low moisture content and a brittle texture. If you stir-fry them vigorously, they will easily be ruined.

Miss Goth felt the coolness of the tea leaves in front of her and carefully explained it to Fang Yan.

"Goethe————"

Miss Gothic looked at the large cauldron that had been set up and finally asked the question.

Where did this huge pot, big enough to stew nine fish, come from? And where did they get such a large fire to stir-fry the tea leaves? Everyone else uses small pots—

Nine-Tailed Fox, watching the show from the sidelines: ? ? ?

I didn't say a word, so how could they stew me?

Unable to understand, the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't hesitate at all and gave Fang Yan a few tails on his back.

"hiss----"

Fang Yan gasped, "What did I do wrong this time?"

"call out."

Tail slip.

Tail slip? !

You can slide on this?

Monini, who had been curiously examining the large pot from the beginning, looked up at Fang Yan and Miss Gothic when she heard Miss Gothic's words.

"Nini?"

So what do we do now?

Monini looked at the tea leaves being poured into the pot and scratched her little head.

"Nini————"

I don't know how to cook this, and the local dialect didn't teach me either.

"I didn't teach you because I didn't know either. If I knew, I wouldn't have looked for a guide."

Fang Yan said helplessly.

The things I taught you before were because of the cheat system, which allowed you to master them quickly on your own.

I don't know when it started, but that thing seems to have disappeared, only occasionally popping up to remind me of its existence.

Fang Yan thought for a moment and tentatively suggested, "How about we figure it out first and do it another day?"

Miss Skirt was furious when she heard this.

"Laji!"

I've already picked the tea leaves and put them in the pot, and you're telling me to do it another day? Do you think it's easy for me to take care of these tea leaves every day? Do you think it's even easier for me to lock in the essence of these leaves after picking them for so long?

Let me tell you, if you dare to make all this hard work go to waste today, you'll be sleeping in the backyard tonight!

Miss Skirt kept chattering away.

Upon hearing Miss Skirt recite the incantation for tightening the headband, Fangyan immediately looked at Miss Gothic, asking her to lend a hand.

As expected of the nursery's mother, when Fangyan looked at her for help, she closed the tablet and handed it to the super-powerful cat sister next to her.

"Goethe".

I'll give it a try.

"Okay, I trust Miss Goth to handle things!"

Fang Yan nodded without hesitation.

"Then I'll watch the fire for you."

"Goethe".

Get out of my way, don't get in my way.

Dialect: !! !! [Dialect sad face.jpg]

"口桀"

Hahaha, one day dialects will be disliked in kitchen work!

After mocking the dialect for a while, Gengar confidently floated to the pot, ready to light it.

"Kou Jie"

This kind of work is better left to my Gengar.

Before she could finish speaking, Gengar was thrown out by Gothic's psychic powers and plunged headfirst into the soil of the tea plantation.

"Goethe".

You get out too.

Gengar's face was stuck in the mud. Its toes twitched, then it went still.

"Hahaha! Gengar! Serves you right for laughing at me! Now you've been mistaken for a ginseng seed! You deserve it!"

Now it's the dialect's turn to mercilessly mock Gengar.

Miss Goth and Miss Skirt glanced at Fang Yan together, and Fang Yan immediately shut his mouth, obediently standing aside and no longer speaking.

"Goethe".

Monini, come and check the fire for us.

Monini nodded, moved a small stool and sat down in the fire area. Nine-Tails breathed a soft breath, and the firewood burst into flames.

Monini followed Miss Goth's instructions to choose whether to add or remove firewood.

Miss Gothic, meanwhile, carefully stirred the tea leaves with gentle force, occasionally using her mental energy to toss the spoon.

Throughout the entire process, everyone present, including the Pokémon, stared at Gothic and the huge pot. Even Gengar was pulled out of the ground by Shana and returned to Fangyan's side, its face covered in mud, curiously looking at the tea leaves in the pot.

"I smell it! It smells so good!"

The delicate fragrance of tea wafted over, and Fang Yan took a deep breath, reveling in its aroma.

"Pfft"

Fang Yan heard a hissing sound from the Gengar beside him, and instantly plummeted from heaven to hell.

He reached out and grabbed Gengar by the neck. "Gengar!!!"

"Kou Jie"

Oh dear! I didn't mean to!

Gengar's screams echoed throughout the backyard. As Gengar's screams continued, Miss Skirt looked at the tea leaves that had been roasted until they were crystal clear and fanned them with her little hand.

It smells so good!

Miss Skirt closed her eyes, and a drop of transparent green water slowly condensed on the flower stamen above her head, then dripped into the pot.

The water droplets, as if hitting the surface of water, instantly spread out as ripples.

The fragrance of the surrounding plants and trees instantly filled the entire backyard, making everyone and every Pokémon who smelled it feel as if they were in the midst of a hot summer day, accompanied by a cool sea breeze.

The Pokémon close their eyes, as if they are on a soft sandy beach, chasing and playing to their hearts' content.

Fang Yan and Gengar, who were fighting, stopped what they were doing and came together to the pot.

"Goethe".

Get it done.

Miss Goth clapped her hands and said with great satisfaction.

Surprisingly, it succeeded on its first attempt at frying tea leaves. It seems it has quite a talent!

Miss Goth was secretly pleased.

Monini then extinguished the fire, and as the fire went out, the fragrance of the tea leaves also dissipated.

Fang Yan reached out and grabbed a handful of the fried tea leaves.

"Awooo————"

The person in the hot dialect quickly covered their ears with their hands, exclaiming, "It's so hot!"

Sitting on a small stool, Monini tilted her head and looked at Fang Yan with an expression as if he were an idiot.

How can food that's just come out of the pot not be hot?

Miss Goth used her mental powers to lift the tea leaves and the pot into the air, then gave it a shake. The tea leaves flew out of the pot, and some residue drifted away with the wind, landing on the ground in the backyard and turning into fertilizer.

The remaining intact tea leaves lined up and slipped into the jar that Fang Yan had prepared in advance.

"Goethe".

There are twelve jars in total.

Looking at the neatly arranged tea canisters on the table, Fang Yan picked one up, felt the temperature with his fingers, and after finding that it was no longer hot, he grabbed a handful and gently smelled it.

It was a tea aroma he had never tasted before.

It turns out the fragrance didn't disappear; it was locked inside the tea leaves.

【Summer Sea Mist and Gentle Breeze Miss Skirt Tea: An incredible tea leaf that grows from Miss Skirt's daily absorption of sunlight essence, combined with the essence of herbs within her own body. When brewed, this tea possesses incredible effects.】

[Soothing: This ability can soothe Pokémon in the incubation period, reducing their anxiety, improving their sleep, and replenishing their energy lost due to laying eggs.]

A mother's love is strong, but please don't worry—Miss Gothic

[Growth: As we all know, Grass-type Pokémon can become aggressive for a certain period of time. The tea leaves that Miss Skirt cultivates contain the most incredible plant energy in the world, which can restore Grass-type Pokémon to normal, accelerate their growth, promote their evolution, and also increase their affinity with Grass-type Pokémon.]

Grass-type Pokémon are among the most insecure Pokémon, especially in the period leading up to their evolution, according to a certain Grass-type Pokémon Master.

[Sleep: People with insomnia will find it easier to fall asleep after drinking this tea, while those who are prone to sleepiness will feel exceptionally energetic after drinking it. This tea has a miraculous effect.]

【Haha—so sleepy, it's all because of Fangyan, who's always in her nightgown】

[Plant Essence: A magical tea leaf imbued with the power of Pokémon such as Celebi, Shaymin, Arceus, and Lugia, which greatly enhances the potential of Grass-type Pokémon.]

[The essence is often found in concentrated form, don't you understand? — Dialect]

Wow!

Fang Yan looked at the text that popped up and exclaimed, "Wow! This tea is quite effective!"

If I finish drinking it, will I feel energetic or sleepy?

"Laji?"

Miss Qun'er's voice rang out, pulling Fang Yan back to reality. He looked at Miss Qun'er and found her staring at him with a nervous expression.

How's the tea?

This is something that dialect asked it to do, and it will be very sad if it doesn't meet dialect's expectations.

"Hmm—it doesn't seem like anything special."

Miss Skirt has visibly withered.

"But I didn't expect it to be so effective! I just wonder how it tastes, Miss Goth, could you please brew some for me to try?"

"Laji".

I come.

Miss Skirt grabbed the tea leaves and ran off with a thud.

Before long, Miss Skirt ran back to Fang Yan's side and handed him a cup of tea. Fang Yan took it and gently blew on it.

Although the aroma is locked inside the tea leaves, when the tea leaves are steeped in hot water, the locked aroma permeates the hot water, releasing an enchanting tea fragrance.

Fang Yan drank it all in one gulp, and his eyes lit up.

Wow!

Fang Yan looked at the cup in his hand, clicked his tongue, and said incredulously, "It tastes better than any tea I've ever had? We actually succeeded?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Pokémon around him cheered.

"Uncle, let me have a taste."

Shana looked at Fang Yan curiously and asked him for tea. Fang Yan smiled and handed her the cup. Miss Skirt poured her a cup, and little Shana imitated Fang Yan by blowing on it and then drinking the tea in one gulp.

Her face instantly fell.

"So pitiful—Uncle's lying!"

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Shana swallowed the tea in her mouth and then handed the cup back to Fang Yan, saying, "It doesn't taste good at all, it's bitter."

Fang Yan burst into laughter. He squatted down and pinched Shana's little cheek. "That's because you're still young. It's normal that you don't like to drink it."

Then he looked at Miss Skirt, "Let's call this tea Miss Skirt's Summer Sea Mist Breeze Tea!"

Miss Skirt smiled sweetly, then slightly lifted her skirt to express her gratitude.

"Since the tea leaves already have the scent of the ocean, and Bictini hasn't really had a proper time at the beach, how about we take a day off and go camping on the beach?"

Fang Yan made a suggestion.

The scene fell silent, and then everyone and the Pokémon dispersed.

"What's going on?"

Fang Yan looked on in confusion, staring at the people and Pokémon who had dispersed, not quite understanding what was happening.

Immediately afterwards, the clanging of pots and pans began.

"Goethe".

Gengar, where did you leave the tent?

"Kou Jie—"

Inside the room.

"Nini~"

Frozen Fairy, how about we make some more desserts to take with us?

"Ee-ma~"
