I opened an orphanage in the Pokémon world

The so-called hotpot is actually just throwing all kinds of ingredients into a pot to cook, and then adding some seasonings and that's it. It is a dish that is very easy to prepare, but it is quite difficult to make delicious.

After all, throwing a lot of ingredients into the pot and cooking them together makes it very difficult to season them.

Of course, this special preparation method is also more suitable for those who are too lazy to spend time cooking when they get home from work and just want to fill their stomachs.

As for why Teng Shu chose to make hotpot, it was purely because he wanted to consume more ingredients. Besides, there are a group of children in the welfare home besides Pokémon, so the hotpot can also ensure their nutritional balance to the greatest extent.

Just when Teng Shu was concentrating on cooking, he saw Locke sneaking in from outside, looking sneaky.

"Locke, what are you doing?" Teng Shu looked at Locke with some confusion. Judging from the look on this guy's face just now, one might have thought there was a thief in the welfare home. However, Teng Shu felt that there probably weren't any thieves who would have nothing better to do than to break into the welfare home and steal things.

"Hey, Dean, do you have any beef jerky here?" Locke rubbed his hands and looked at Teng Shu expectantly. The corners of Teng Shu's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that Locke actually wanted to eat beef jerky.

"There are still some." Teng Shu didn't mean to refuse. Locke was considered an old employee of the welfare home. Although he had not worked there for long, there were only two formal employees in Teng Shu's welfare home: Locke and old man Xingzhen.

Miss Qiao Yiyun is a part-time worker and not a formal employee.

Teng Shu turned around and took out the beef jerky from the cupboard. In Teng Shu's opinion, the beef jerky was not dried very well because the weather was not very good during the days when he dried it. But fortunately, there were Pokémon, so the beef jerky was still made.

"Do you like it very much?" Teng Shu asked Locke, and at the same time took out the previous card. He planned to ask for some high-quality beef to make beef jerky.

Teng Shu hasn't used the card given to him before, so it would be a good idea to use it now.

"Actually, my daughter likes it. I brought some back for my daughter last time. She liked it very much after eating it and asked me for some more." Locke scratched his head with a wry smile. After hearing this, Teng Shu was stunned for a moment, and then pretended even more.

Soon Teng Shu filled a big bag and handed it to Locke.

"You already have a daughter?" Teng Shu looked at Locke with some surprise. Although he knew that Locke was married when he first saw Locke's file, Teng Shu really didn't know that Locke had a daughter. After all, such things would not be said out loud.

"Well, he's already nine years old." Locke said calmly. Teng Shu raised an eyebrow, but considering that the legal age of marriage in this world is relatively early, Teng Shu was not surprised.

Locke is a handsome guy. He is also a top student and a psychologist. It is normal for him to be liked by others.

"So in that case, your daughter is about to embark on her journey?" Teng Shu looked at Locke curiously. It was the first time he talked to Locke about family-related matters. If it weren't for the fact that Teng Shu and Locke had a good relationship, Teng Shu would never discuss this issue.

"Yes, my daughter admires trainers very much. She even said that she wants to be a trainer as powerful as Sirona." There was some pride in Locke's tone.

Teng Shu raised an eyebrow.

Sirona.

That's not easy.

The champion, Sirona, is quite strong, but she also has some hobbies of her own - archaeology.

"Then you have to work hard." Teng Shu smiled.

It is easy to be a trainer, but it is difficult to be a trainer with aspirations or even a goal of becoming a champion.

Chapter 193 Cute Little Guys

Trainer, the most common profession in the Pokémon world, is actually a profession with a very low lower limit and a very high upper limit, and it is very unstable.

In Teng Shu's opinion, trainers are a bit like the martial artists in ancient times, the kind that are poor in literature but rich in martial arts.

If the goal is to become a trainer at the champion level, then the training of Pokémon is very important. The training, exercise and diet of Pokémon are all issues. Children from rich families are often more likely to collect gym badges because their Pokémon grow much better than ordinary people.

A rather peculiar description.

For trainers, training Pokémon is like sending children to school. When children from poor families are still studying on their own, children from rich families may have already hired the best tutors and schools, and their nutrition is also very adequate. Children from poor families still have to consider how to save money on food every day, but rich people don't have this concern.

As a result, the overall gap is naturally huge.

Of course, Teng Shu does not deny that there are some gifted children who have been invincible since their debut, and even become champion-level trainers without any defeat. Such geniuses naturally exist, but they are relatively rare.

"Don't worry, I still have some assets, so it's no problem to support my daughter." Of course Locke knew what Teng Shu was talking about, and he patted his chest confidently.

He made a lot of money. The patent for a drug alone was enough for Locke to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Locke's attitude towards life is to earn enough money for a lifetime, so there is no need to worry about internal competition. This is also a key reason why Locke chose to work in Teng Shu's welfare home.

"Although beef jerky is delicious, you can't eat too much, otherwise it will easily cause dryness." Teng Shu looked at Locke and reminded him.

Adults may know the importance of moderation, but children often cannot control their mouths when it comes to eating something they like, and it will be troublesome if they have bubbles in their mouths.

"Dean, you seem to know a lot about Chinese herbal medicine." Locke looked at Teng Shu with some surprise, and Teng Shu shook his head.

"I only know some superficial knowledge." Teng Shu waved his hands. What did he know about Chinese medicine? He couldn't even prescribe Chaihu Decoction. He only knew some basic knowledge, which was passed down from his parents' generation.

"Okay, I'll tell my daughter. Thanks, Dean." Locke happily took the beef jerky and left the cafeteria. Looking at the beef jerky in his hand, Locke couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He actually liked the beef jerky made by Dean Teng Shu. It tasted very good. It was also delicious to eat as a snack. It felt very good.

But considering his daughter's expectant eyes, Locke forced himself to suppress his inner restlessness and quietly put away the beef jerky. He wanted to take it back for his daughter to eat.

Teng Shu quickly prepared the stew on hand. Although it was a stew, Teng Shu also prepared some other side dishes so that it wouldn't be too monotonous.

Soon Teng Shu finished and rang the bell for the children to come and eat.

While eating, Teng Shu looked at Youyang again. The number above this child's head had reached 65%. Teng Shu looked at Youyang thoughtfully. It seemed that this child really planned to adopt Bumblebee.

I just don't know if Youyang can establish an initial trusting relationship with Vileplume in two days. After all, Teng Shu himself knows very well that Vileplume is a special guy and it doesn't trust humans very much.

"Dean Teng Shu, your cooking skills are really good." The director of the teaching department said to Teng Shu with a smile, and Teng Shu also smiled politely. The adult world is always filled with such polite words.

After dinner, the students are still responsible for washing the dishes. According to the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office, this is to give the children some housework experience.

And Teng Shu also glanced at Youyang. The child followed Xiaozhi out in a hurry after dinner. It seemed that he really wanted to see Smelly Flower.

"Ms. Hei Jie, I'd like to ask, generally speaking, what kind of jobs do these kids who graduate from school end up doing?" With nothing to do, Teng Shu was too lazy to read textbooks at this time after dinner, so he simply chatted with the dean next to him.

"The children from our school? According to some of our later contacts, some of the children are engaged in ordinary clerical jobs. Those with vision problems have difficulty finding jobs and are often engaged in welfare work arranged by the alliance. As for those with difficulties expressing themselves, they are relatively better off and have more choices." Hei Jie was stunned for a moment after hearing Teng Shu's question, then explained with a smile.

Teng Shu understood. This was similar to what he thought. Although most companies said they did not discriminate, they would not specifically choose disabled people when recruiting, unless the alliance had a welfare policy.

"Actually, it's okay now. The alliance has promoted prenatal checkups, and there are also special welfare work for children. In the past..." Hei Jie sighed, and Teng Shu nodded silently. At least now these children still have some rights to choose, which is also good.

Teng Shu suddenly became curious about how far this child, Youyang, could go in the future. Teng Shu was curious about how far this child, Youyang, could go in the future. Before, Youyang had told Xiaozhi in the infirmary that he wanted to become a strong rival.

In the future, Xiaozhi will be a master-level trainer. If Youyang really wants to become a strong rival of Xiaozhi, it will not be easy.

In the afternoon, the children followed Teng Shu to find their beds. Teng Shu had already arranged accommodation for them. Their teachers would come to take them to sleep, so Teng Shu didn't have to worry about anything.

"Uncle Dean, I heard from the teacher that there is a Cathy in the welfare home. Can I listen to Cathy speak?" A little girl asked expectantly, pulling Teng Shu's clothes.

Teng Shu looked down and saw that the little girl had white eyes. It seemed that she was a child with vision problems. No wonder she said she wanted to listen.

If we just meet in person, it might be a little difficult, after all, Cathy is very socially anxious, but just listening should be fine.

"Akai?" Teng Shu called softly. He knew Casey was in the attic, but Casey was a Psychic Pokémon and sometimes would pay attention to this place.

"I heard it! Casey is saying hello to me!" The little girl became excited instantly. The children around her looked around curiously, but they didn't see Casey.

Teng Shu explained to Hei Jie, and Hei Jie took the teachers and children to tell Casey's situation. However, what Teng Shu did not expect was that after hearing that Casey was embarrassed to see people, the children kept comforting Casey in a low voice and did not force Casey to come out.

Teng Shu smiled. These children were so cute.

Chapter 194 Who has nothing better to do than to run so far?

"The single volume has been published, but the royalties have increased a bit." At night, Teng Shu sat in his office, looking at the copy of "Journey to the West" in his hand, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Although Teng Shu only copied the work of Mr. Wu Chengen, he would not be angry if he was able to promote Journey to the West to this world.

However, Teng Shu had heard some bizarre stories, saying that according to research, Journey to the West might not have been written by Wu Cheng'en, but by someone else, but Teng Shu didn't know whether these were true or not.

"I just don't know what the market response is like?" Teng Shu flipped through the single volume in his hand, which recorded the story of the Monkey King's birth and his apprenticeship at Fangcun Mountain.

But I don’t know if the editor of Kanto Manqing is a little immature, but on the cover of Journey to the West, there is an enlarged and bold font saying "A peerless fantasy masterpiece by an unparalleled genius", which made Teng Shu speechless.

"Forget it. I've seen some seniors being given titles like the League's Most Fierce Tiger. Just don't give me a title like the League's Peerless Genius." Teng Shu shook his head. Although the book was a bit embarrassing, as it was his first comic, Teng Shu still collected it and placed it in the bookcase.

Compared with these fame, Teng Shu is more concerned about the royalties brought by this book. With the increase in royalties, Teng Shu can also subsidize the welfare home more. He visited the welfare home during this period and found that there are many places to spend money in the welfare home, and now the number of Pokémon received by the welfare home is gradually increasing.

In addition, the alliance seems to want his welfare home to open a nursing home, so Teng Shu now feels that his funds are still not enough.

Although the alliance has added to his burden and increased the amount of funding, money is something that he only feels is too little and never too much.

Teng Shu stretched, stood by the window and looked outside. The lights in the dormitory arranged for the children were still on, and if he was quiet, he could hear the children's laughter coming from there.

"It's time for night patrol." Teng Shu twisted his neck, changed his clothes, took a flashlight and left the office, pushing the door in the cold wind.

As soon as he pushed the door, Teng Shu was stunned for a moment, because he found that the door, which was originally very smooth to push, became a little difficult at this moment, as if it was blocked by something.

Teng Shu had a bad feeling in his heart.

Instead of continuing to push, he pushed the door on the other side. This time there was no sense of obstruction.

"Could it be..." Teng Shu pushed open the door, then turned on the flashlight and shone it around. Then he saw a Pokémon lying at the gate of the orphanage, motionless.

"This is..." Teng Shu walked out quickly.

【Mud Donkey】

[Ground-type Pokémon]

【Minor frostbite】

Teng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he had just recognized this Pokémon, but Teng Shu was a little confused, this kind of Pokémon was not distributed in the Kanto region. He didn't understand who had nothing better to do than bring the Mud Donkey here from other places and then abandon it in front of the door of his own welfare home. Was he looking for trouble?

There was a hint of gentle strength in Teng Shu's palm, and then he picked up the mud donkey. However, as soon as he picked him up, he almost sprained his waist.

"So heavy?" Teng Shu was a little surprised, but Teng Shu also had a solution. He quickly returned to the welfare home, pulled out a small cart used to transport food, then moved the mud donkey on it, and hurriedly took the mud donkey to the infirmary.

When he arrived at the infirmary, Teng Shu just turned on the light and was stunned for a moment.

A yellow Pokémon was sitting inside looking at something, but after noticing that Teng Shu turned on the light, it saw Teng Shu and then instantly disappeared in front of Teng Shu.

"Akai?" Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. Although it was just a quick glance, Teng Shu had already recognized the identity of the Pokémon.

Kathy.

There is only one Casey in Teng Shu's welfare home, and that is Akai, so it is obvious that the Pokémon just now was Akai.

Although Teng Shu was a little curious about why Akai was here, he didn't think much about it. Instead, he put the donkey into the medical cabin and chose treatment.

【Time required for treatment: 5 minutes】

The treatment time was very short and Teng Shu was very calm. Ni Luzi only had mild frostbite and no other problems, so it was naturally not a big deal for the medical cabin.

"I have to write another report." Teng Shu took a look at the mud donkey, took a few photos of it, and then sat down at the computer in the infirmary.

The infirmary also has a computer and is connected to the Internet. Teng Shu used to write work reports in the infirmary, after all, it was more convenient this way. But later, when Locke came, Teng Shu went to the office to write them. Now, Teng Shu still has to look after Ni Luzai here, so he did not move.
