I opened an orphanage in the Pokémon world

It no longer wants to evolve.

Chapter 344: What kind of bamboo shoots cost three thousand each?

"Youyang is a pretty strong kid. He actually won. This is really..." Teng Shu sighed as he looked at Youyang who got the badge, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

The crowd around were cheering, cheering that they had witnessed a very magical thing. Teng Shu was also applauding, and Pikachu on the side was also smiling happily.

Teng Shu glanced at Pikachu. He just noticed that Pikachu's mood was not right. Sometimes Pikachu would be a little depressed. Fortunately, Pikachu's mood just returned to normal, which made Teng Shu feel relieved. If Pikachu's mood was still not right, then Teng Shu would also ask Pikachu what was wrong.

Youyang smiled happily and did not forget to introduce himself using a loudspeaker. Then someone came over curiously, seemingly asking about Youyang's endorsement.

Teng Shu smiled, and Youyang's face flushed with excitement.

"Let's go, Pikachu, it's time for us to go shopping." Teng Shu smiled, then took Pikachu and left the gym in Viridian City.

According to Youyang's current thinking, Teng Shu feels that the opponent will continue to challenge the gym in the future. Whether Youyang can get eight badges by then is also a question that Teng Shu is quite curious about. However, for now, let Youyang enjoy his victory first.

After leaving the gym, Teng Shu returned to his car. In the car, Teng Shu glanced at Pikachu beside him. Pikachu's mood had now returned to normal, but Teng Shu was still a little curious about what had just happened to make Pikachu so emotionally unstable.

But since Pikachu didn't say anything, Teng Shu didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he drove to the vegetable market with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Teng Shu, why haven't I seen you for so many days!" As soon as he entered, Teng Shu ran into an acquaintance.

Uncle Elro was looking at Teng Shu and talking with a smile, and Teng Shu also greeted Uncle Elro. This uncle was an evergreen in the vegetable market, and he had been selling some of his vegetables and fruits here. Teng Shu had also seen them, and they were indeed of good quality, but the only drawback was that they were a little too expensive.

"Something happened before, so there's nothing I can do." Teng Shu replied with a smile, but he didn't tell him the real reason. After all, he runs an orphanage, and if he said that a Pokémon died around the orphanage and it was caused by the Pokémon fever, then some very troublesome rumors might arise.

Teng Shu knew very well that rumors were more ferocious than tigers, so he didn't want to spread any strange rumors casually.

"I have some seasonal special ingredients here! Would you like to take a look?" Uncle Elro asked with a smile, then enthusiastically picked up a unique vegetable and showed it to Teng Shu. Teng Shu took a look and it seemed to be bamboo shoots.

This made Teng Shu curious, so he simply took Pikachu over and took a look. It was indeed spring bamboo shoots, and they were very tender. However, what surprised Teng Shu was that the bamboo shoots were bright gold, all gold, and had a very strange fragrance. This fragrance was very strange, with an indescribable taste.

"Uncle Elro, what is this?" Teng Shu was a little confused. He had never seen such spring bamboo shoots before. If he didn't know Uncle Elro's character, Teng Shu would have suspected that it was an unscrupulous businessman who came to cheat him.

In the past, some unscrupulous vendors deliberately dyed chicks and ducklings and then sold them as pets. Later, it developed to the point where crabs, frogs, and other animals could also be dyed.

In the world of Pokémon, there are also such scammers. For example, some people dye Pokémon and say they are different colors, and some dye berries and say they are magical berries. Anyway, anything that can be sold has been dyed. Teng Shu has even seen people dye Poké Balls and then sell ordinary Poké Balls at the price of high-level Poké Balls.

The Siluf Company was forced to have no choice but to modify the appearance of the Advanced Ball and other Poké Balls to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"This is good stuff, a kind of spring bamboo shoots unique to the Evergreen Forest. It only appears in late winter and early spring, and it tastes very delicious. It cannot be cultivated artificially yet." Uncle Elro introduced enthusiastically. Teng Shu wanted to leave when he heard this.

Little-known fact: when you hear merchants promoting something as "cannot be artificially bred" or "cannot be artificially produced", you should be careful, because this usually means that the thing itself is an extremely expensive thing. After all, it cannot be artificially produced, so it can only be found in the wild, and the labor cost will increase rapidly.

"Hiss, how much?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask, after all, he was really curious about this question.

Moreover, this bamboo shoot is indeed a type that has never been seen before. It is golden all over, just like a bamboo shoot made of gold, very dazzling.

"I won't cheat you. This thing sells for 3,000 yuan each in the market. I have 12 of them. If you want all of them, I'll give them to you at a discount. I'll only charge you 33,000 yuan." Uncle Elro's words made Teng Shu gasp again. 3,000 yuan each? Selling by the piece?

Teng Shu could see very clearly that some of the bamboo shoots were big and some were small. Although the size difference was not particularly large, it was still possible to see that there were indeed some differences.

In the end, they still sold it individually.

"How does it taste?" Teng Shu took out his cell phone and searched it, and found that Uncle Elro was not lying. This thing is a specialty of Changqing City, and the price is indeed very expensive.

"It's very good. I've eaten it. I can only say that after eating it once, I feel a little sad every time I sell it." Elro sighed. After hearing this, Teng Shu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to buy it.

After all, in his previous life, Teng Shu often spent a lot of money to buy wild mushrooms during the mushroom season. In fact, generally speaking, the more expensive something is, the better it tastes.

For example, the chicken mushrooms and green mushrooms that we ate in our previous lives are often more expensive than pork, and even much more expensive than beef and mutton. You can imagine how unique the taste of this wild mushroom is.

"Uncle Elro, how do we eat this?" Teng Shu asked. After all, he had never made this before and was worried that he might accidentally break it, which would be a huge loss for him.

“Just stir-fry it. You don’t need to add anything. Just add a little bit of olive oil.” Elro smiled. He could close the stall now.

Although this bamboo shoot is very expensive and delicious, but because it is so expensive, not many people come to buy it, which is why Elro has not been able to sell it yet.

Chapter 345 Cute Pikachu

"Pikachu, come, smell it, remember this smell. Next time you come across it, dig it up and come back to me. Then you will be rich." Teng Shu held the bamboo shoots in his hand, then took out one and let Pikachu smell it. Pikachu also remembered the smell carefully, and then called out "Pikachu".

Teng Shu felt a little pain, but when he thought about the seasonal limitation of this thing and its extremely rare output, he didn't feel so painful anymore.

After all, it is normal to pay a little for delicious food.

Then, Teng Shu asked Pikachu to help him find some good ingredients and supplemented some of the things he needed. Then Teng Shu carried the bags of vegetables back to his pickup truck and put the ingredients in the back.

"Pikachu~" A cute voice, Teng Shu subconsciously looked down, and then found that the Pikachu accompanying him was looking at the other side curiously, Teng Shu looked over there.

Then Teng Shu saw a Pikachu and another Pikachu.

This Pikachu's body was very clean, and he made a cute pose, looking at Teng Shu pitifully. After noticing Teng Shu's eyes, he somersaulted, threw a set of punches, and then continued to stare at Teng Shu.

Teng Shu felt like laughing.

As soon as he saw the other person's appearance, he knew what was going on.

There are three factions of wandering Pokémon in Evergreen City. One is the wild Pokémon faction. Although they live in the wild, they occasionally enter the city. Then there is the neutral faction. The neutral faction is similar to the grocery shopping Pikachu. They will accept help from humans, but live in the wild.

Finally, there is the cute Pikachu in front of you. He should be a relative in Evergreen City. They usually wander the streets and alleys of the city, and live on human feeding and rummaging through garbage cans. The leader is a Pikachu.

"That was a great performance." Teng Shu encouraged Pikachu with a smile, then handed over a small bag of berries. After all, other ingredients were not easy for Pikachu to eat, so berries were better as they were crisper and tasted very good.

"Pikachu~" Pikachu's voice is very, very sweet. The Pikachu who was buying groceries nearby couldn't hold it back and became agitated for a moment. It looked like he wanted to hit someone. Teng Shu also wanted to laugh. This is probably equivalent to the fact that the Pikachu who is buying groceries has the voice of an ordinary girl, while the Pikachu who is being cute has the voice of a clip, and it is a clip voice throughout the whole process.

So it is understandable that Pikachu cannot accept the call of his companion while shopping for groceries.

After all, if someone kept using a very pretentious clip-like voice around Teng Shu, Teng Shu himself would find it a little hard to accept.

"Pika!" The cute Pikachu grabbed Teng Shu's clothes. Teng Shu was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and touched the cute Pikachu's head. Did this little guy have anything else to say?

The cute Pikachu waved its tail, and then a Meowth and a Rattata came over, saluted Teng Shu timidly, and then began to perform. Teng Shu watched curiously because he had never seen anything like this before.

Soon, the performance was over, and Teng Shu finally understood it. It was a simple comedy, which made Teng Shu think of some interesting things, such as the famous cartoon in his previous life - "Tom and Jerry".

It is suitable for all ages and has some allegorical implications. It is a very interesting cartoon. It has many episodes and has become a childhood classic for countless people. Even before Teng Shu traveled through time, the 30-year-old Teng Shu would occasionally watch Tom and Jerry as his source of happiness.

"The performance was very good, but yours may still lack some drama..." Teng Shu smiled and gave some suggestions. The cute Pikachu took notes seriously and bowed to Teng Shu very respectfully.

When Teng Shu was about to give some food to the cute Pikachu, the cute Pikachu shook his head, declined the food this time, and ran away with its little friend, leaving Teng Shu stunned.

"These little guys are quite interesting." Teng Shu smiled. Pikachu's cute behavior made Teng Shu quite happy.

"Pika!" Pikachu called out from the side. Teng Shu touched Pikachu's head and then took Pikachu back.

While driving and waiting for the red light, Teng Shu saw a cute Pikachu who was performing for others, but got no response, so he quickly walked away.

However, the cute Pikachu was not discouraged, and continued to perform hard.

Teng Shu took a look and because the light was green, he had no choice but to drive away.

"It's not easy to be a wandering Pokémon." Teng Shu sighed. It seemed that the cute Pikachu had been rejected more than once or twice, but the cute Pikachu still did not give up and was still persisting.

Stray Pokémon in the city are the easiest to adopt, but they are also the most likely to be harmed again. After all, most people take stray Pokémon back in the heat of the moment, but when they get back they find that the Pokémon is not good here or there, so over time they choose to abandon it again. Such things happen from time to time.

"Pika." Pikachu nodded in agreement. Teng Shu wanted to laugh. Pikachu's serious look was really distracting.

When they drove to Pikachu's home, Teng Shu smiled and saw Pikachu off, then took his things back to the welfare home.

Arriving at the welfare home, Teng Shu hurriedly put the ingredients in, and he also took the most expensive bamboo shoots to the kitchen. Bamboo shoots are usually best eaten when they are fresh, because they taste the best at this time.

Most foods are best eaten fresh, but some foods taste better the longer they are stored.

"Dean...eh? Did you buy Tokiwa bamboo shoots?" Locke poked his head out from the kitchen window, but then he saw the golden bamboo shoots that Teng Shu had placed on the chopping board, and said with some shock.

"Well, it's super expensive, but it is said to taste very good." Teng Shu licked his lips. After getting closer to this thing, he found that the smell of this thing became stronger and more fragrant, which made people feel very fascinated.

"This thing is really delicious." Locke also wiped his saliva. It seems that he will have a good meal today.

Teng Shu cut it in half, and found that the inside was also golden yellow, a very bright color. At the same time, the strange fragrance became stronger and stronger, making people drool. Teng Shu himself couldn't control himself.

Chapter 346 The Girl with Evil Taste

Soon, the whole welfare home was filled with this enticing smell. Even the Abandoned Monkey and the Sweet and Cold Queen, who had been fighting each other fiercely before, stopped their sparring and tacitly came to the cafeteria of the welfare home to wait for the meal to be served.

"This stuff...is really worth the money." Teng Shu smelled the scent and wiped the corners of his mouth. He was a little out of control when cooking for the first time, but as a chef, it was normal for him to taste the food.

So Teng Shu also ate a few slices. The taste was indeed very delicious, with a kind of deliciousness that is hard to describe, but it was not to the extent that your clothes would burst after one bite. After all, this is the world of Pokémon, not the world of Food Wars!

"Dean, can we have dinner now?" Locke came closer again. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. This guy has come to ask six times.

"It's ready." Teng Shu brought out the food that he had prepared today. The first thing he brought out was the braised pork with fried tofu, followed by stir-fried bok choy, and then the highlight of this time, stir-fried spring bamboo shoots.

Changpan Spring Bamboo Shoots, this is the name of the bamboo shoots that Teng Shu bought this time. When Teng Shu looked up information, he found that this thing was originally going to be called Changpan Golden Bamboo Shoots, but because the word "gold" sounded vulgar, later it was decided to take the meaning of late winter and early spring, and then changed the name to Changpan Spring Bamboo Shoots.

In an instant, Pokémon and Rock all came here to line up. Teng Shu also had a smile on his face, because he saw Diancie was also in the team. This was quite strange. After all, most rock Pokémon eat unique food. Originally, Teng Shu was still thinking about whether to prepare special rations for rock Pokémon for Diancie, but it seems that Diancie can still eat normal meals.

"This Tokiwa Spring Bamboo Shoots is limited edition, one spoonful for each person." Teng Shu looked at Locke who was at the first place in the queue and reminded him.

The price of Tokiwa Spring Bamboo Shoots is too expensive, mainly because the quantity is very scarce. In this case, if you want every Pokémon in the welfare home to be able to eat it, the quantity must be limited. Teng Shu calculated that one spoonful for each Pokémon is just right.

"Okay, Dean!" Locke came over and scooped a spoonful of Tokiwa spring bamboo shoots, and then scooped three spoonfuls of braised pork in retaliation. Locke still liked the braised pork made by Teng Shu, especially the fried tofu, which was simply amazing.

After preparing for each little one, Teng Shu glanced at the Changpan Spring Bamboo Shoots. Just as he thought, there was a little left, but not much. Teng Shu could just scoop a spoonful and then get another small spoonful.

"Eh? Is this spring bamboo shoots? You can actually buy such good stuff." A light voice came from his voice. Teng Shu was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and saw a girl with blonde hair and golden eyes standing in front of him, looking at the spring bamboo shoots curiously.

"Ah... would you like one?" Teng Shu recognized the girl's identity. The red dress she was wearing and the iconic face were very memorable. At least Teng Shu remembered them.

Phoenix King.

The mythical beast Phoenix King.

"Well, give me one. I was just passing by your place, but the smell was so delicious that I couldn't help but come down." Feng Wang swallowed greedily, and then rubbed his hands excitedly. Teng Shu was a little amused. So this was still his fault?

Locke looked at Feng Wang curiously. He had never seen Feng Wang before, but seeing that Feng Wang and the dean seemed very familiar with each other, Locke had no intention of going up to ask. After all, if he was Teng Shu's friend, there was no need to worry.

"Here, scoop it out yourself." Teng Shu felt a little distressed, but still let Feng Wang go and get it himself. After all, Teng Shu could tell the difference between Feng Wang's friendship and a portion of Changpan Spring Bamboo Shoots.

"Hehe, don't you feel sad?" Feng Wang raised his eyebrows and looked at Teng Shu curiously.

"There's nothing to feel bad about." Teng Shu shrugged. He had just secretly eaten some in the kitchen.

Can a cook starve himself?

There are some great chefs who can cook a serving of roast duck and even allow the customer to eat two pieces without the customer noticing, but this is generally not done. It may have been possible in the past, but it is basically not the case nowadays.

After all, there is no need for this, and if you are discovered, it will easily ruin your reputation.

The King of Phoenix scooped a spoonful of Tokiwa spring bamboo shoots and finished it immediately, then looked at Teng Shu teasingly. Teng Shu didn't care at all, so the King of Phoenix believed that Teng Shu really didn't feel sorry for it.
