The demon monk in the second dimension

In addition, this restaurant has three very unique rules.

First, only one customer will be served at a time, and a 50% deposit is required in advance.

Secondly, you can choose to bring your own ingredients or have the restaurant provide them. Having the restaurant provide the ingredients is quite expensive, while bringing your own will incur a service charge equivalent to 20% of the meal price.

Third, diners need to arrive at the time specified by the chef to enjoy the meal.

These distinctive rules undoubtedly tell others:

My cooking is so delicious that I have very strict rules. But once you eat here, you'll be very satisfied and won't find anything to complain about.

More than one group of diners went in with a critical eye, then left stuffed and beaming with smiles like bright old chrysanthemums.

……

Giovanni, outwardly the Gym Leader of the Viridian City Viridian Gym, is secretly the leader of Team Rocket, the largest criminal organization in the Kanto region.

He is known as "Sakaki of the Earth" or "Uncle Sakaki".

Recently, due to the Rockets' operations being repeatedly thwarted by the league's newly appointed Special Investigator, Yu Longdu, he was in a very bad mood. A strong sense of gloom permeated his surroundings, causing several officers to tremble in fear.

His secretary, Shin-tori, saw this and kept it in mind.

Recently, Sakaki received another call from his younger sister.

She teams up with Kojiro, a wealthy heir who ran away from his arranged marriage, and Meowth, who is basically useless except for speaking human language, becoming a low-level member of Team Rocket.

Their first mission was to target the Pokémon of a rookie trainer who had just become a trainer—a Pikachu that had just been obtained from Professor Oak in Pallet Town.

According to Musashi, this Pikachu is much stronger than a regular Pikachu and is very qualified to be captured and studied.

"A Pikachu specially trained by Professor Oak?"

Upon seeing Musashi's message, Sakamoto rubbed his head in pain.

The Rockets' development has now reached a bottleneck, and their influence needs to extend to other regions, rather than just focusing on their small territory in the Kanto region.

At this time, Giovanni did not want to provoke this famous doctor in the League, who was also the current head of the Ooki clan, who had a wide influence and power in the League.

While repeatedly telling himself, "This is my own sister, my own. Don't be angry, don't be angry...", Sakaki gripped the teacup on the table tightly.

His strength was so great that the veins on his arms bulged, as if he wanted to crush the teacup.

"Meow!"

The cat boss sitting on Sakaki was startled.

It shrieked and quickly ran to a corner to crouch down.

This cat boss is just Giovanni's pet, at most a second-tier Pokémon, not a main force at all.

It is very clear about its position as a younger brother.

Giovanni's main Pokémon is currently training hard at his secret base, aiming to break through from Elite Four level to Champion level.

Masato glanced at Sakaki, who was on the verge of breaking down, adjusted his glasses, and spoke.

"Boss, perhaps you need to relax. A very famous elf restaurant recently opened in the Viridian City black market, attracting many wealthy people to dine there."

Sakaki gave his secretary a strange look.

“You know I have no interest in **spirits.

Despite being the leader of a criminal organization, Giovanni has his own principles.

Like the Elite Four members and champions of the League, he also has a very deep bond with his Pokémon.

Giovanni even has a King-level Beedrill.

To train a Beedrill, hailed as an ace among Bug Catchers but considered insignificant by League Trainers, to Elite Four level requires several times the effort and resources of other Pokémon, such as the starter Pokémon.

But Giovanni did not give up on his starter Pokémon. Instead, he accompanied Beedrill step by step forward, always keeping Beedrill in his top tier.

Beedrill lived up to Giovanni's expectations and successfully reached the Elite Four level.

Just like dog owners generally don't eat dog meat.

Giovanni has handled too many Pokémon, so he generally doesn't handle them.

But it's not that he's never eaten an elf.

During his hellish training in the wild, Giovanni ate not only Pokémon, but also tree bark and grass roots.

He ate with his elf companions.

Moreover, in the wild, there are only so many tree fruits, and it also depends on whether it is the season when the fruit is ripe.

Ordinary animals would have been eaten by carnivorous spirits long ago.

To survive, the only spirits in the wild are **spirits.

It is said that Arbok will even eat its own kind when it is hungry, which is why it is known as one of the most ferocious Pokémon.

Faced with Sakaki's question, Masato replied without changing his expression.

"Boss, this is just a suggestion. Your current state is not suitable for continuing to handle organizational matters."

Sakaki was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Maybe you're right. I really should take a break."

……

Soon, Masahiro sent his underlings to order food at the restaurant located in the black market.

In this very simple restaurant called "Summer Solstice Elf Restaurant", the prices of the dishes are very high, with each dish costing enough to buy two or three corresponding elves.

Some dishes even require customers to bring their own ingredients.

The young man was dumbfounded: it seemed this restaurant was making money faster than the Rockets!

The guy ordered three dishes and paid the full amount very generously.

The restaurant owner and chef, Xia Zhi, asked his younger brother.

"Are you going to eat it right away, or do you want to watch me cook it?"

The younger brother was completely bewildered: Master Bird didn't mention this at all!

Xia Zhi spoke to the younger brother in a very friendly manner.

"Some people in the black market are afraid I'll poison the food, so they not only demand that someone watch the whole process, but also conduct all sorts of checks. Ask your boss if he has to go through this process too. Also ask him if he has any dietary restrictions?"

I didn't dare to make this decision on my own, so I called Zhenniao.

Even Masato couldn't make a decision on his own, so he asked Sakaki, who was standing nearby.

After listening to Makoto's story, a rare smile appeared on Sakaki's usually gloomy face.

“Interesting. Poisoning? Do you think I’d be afraid of someone poisoning me? Tell him I don’t need to be checked, and I don’t have any dietary restrictions. Just let the owner cook normally. But watching is fine too. Cooking is an art.”

After Makoto hung up the phone, Sakaki gave her instructions.

"Call my Beedrill over. It hasn't eaten a Pokémon in a long time."

……

Inside the restaurant, watching the errand boy's departing figure, Xia Zhi, who told diners not to eat breakfast and to come at 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow, shook the anonymous bank card in her hand.

"You paid the full 450 million upfront, you're very confident! Aren't you afraid I'll take the money and run?"

He has been in the elf world for three years.

When Xia Zhi first learned that this was the world of elves, she felt it was a very magical place.

Which child wouldn't want a yellow mouse that can generate electricity?

As one fantastical spirit after another appeared beside her, Xia Zhi felt as if she had become a thousand years younger, and a peaceful smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Back in the Heavenly Realm, Xia Zhi had actually considered creating these adorable Pokémon.

If Xia Zhi is a decent person, then he might as well do it. This thing can even generate income.

Unfortunately, he's an old devil, and doing this kind of thing really makes him unpopular!

In the dark and deep White Bone Gate, where human bones serve as seats, human heads as wine cups, and hundreds of wronged souls and evil spirits wail, and where corpses and blood are everywhere, a cute and charming Pikachu suddenly appears.

Are you filming a horror movie here?!

What should I do if I transmigrated into Pikachu in the White Bone Sect?

In the world of elves, the most powerful are undoubtedly the elves.

Elves are the power of this world!

Humans may have superpowers, the power of the Viridian, and the power of the dragon, but most of them are just flashy tricks; in the end, they still have to rely on the spirits.

Having been in the Pokémon world for over a year, Xia Zhi had trained his mental strength to the point where he could defeat Elite Four level Pokémon, and his physical abilities to the point where he could defeat Elite Four level Tyranitar with his bare hands. He felt that he had reached a bottleneck and could no longer improve.

It seems that this is the rule of this world: both humans and ordinary elves have a limit that cannot be broken.

Moreover, as a human, I didn't jump too wildly during the summer solstice in this world, so as not to attract the attention of Arceus, alpacas, or the legendary final evolution of Eevee.

That means he can only barely make a living by running a restaurant in Viridian City that earns a million yen a day and occasionally venturing into the Viridian Forest to hunt.

"Scyther, you stay home and watch over things. I'll go get some food."

"Jie!"

Inside the restaurant, the one who spoke in response to Xia Zhi's words was a large humanoid praying mantis.

It has a dinosaur-like head with three separate horns on its head. Its entire body is covered in green carapace, with faint scars on the carapace as badges.

These scars include burn marks, slash marks, and puncture marks.

These are all traces left by its enemies, and now these enemies have all become its stepping stones, or even part of it.

Its forearms are two huge white scythes, and its thighs are covered with sharp spines common to insects. Its human-like feet are claw-shaped, with three huge, sharp toes on each foot, just like those of a lizard.

Compared to ordinary scythes, this scythe is nearly 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than its kind, and similar to its evolved form, the giant scythe. It is clearly a very well-bred specimen.

The flying mantis nodded gently to Xia Zhi, its eyes focused and sharp, like materialized swords that could cut skin with just a glance.

With such a flying praying mantis guarding the house, ordinary people wouldn't dare to even glance at it as they pass by.

Chapter 449 Preparations Before Cooking

After greeting Scyther, Xia Zhi used Teleport to arrive in Viridian Forest.

The black market isn't far from Viridian Forest. After all, if something happens, this location makes it easier to escape.

The three dishes the errand boy ordered were all ordinary dishes.

Giant crab, farge duck, Kentaro.

These three dishes are something any elf restaurant would make. The usual way to prepare them is steamed crab, stir-fried duck pieces, and beef stew with potatoes, or they can be made into steak.

But when the summer solstice arrives, it's all about eating crab five ways, stir-fried duck with scallions, and a feast of fine beef.

Farfetch'd and Tauros are both popular and readily available ingredients. Hunter guilds in the black market even have farms that raise Farfetch'd and Tauros, ensuring that Farfetch'd meat is plump and tender, and Tauros meat is thick and firm, making them easy to buy.

A single green onion duck typically costs between 20 and 30 yuan.

Kentiro is more expensive, costing 60 to 80.

But Taurotus tangs have a lot of meat! One Taurotus tang can be used to make several dishes, including steak, beef leg, beef, oxtail, head, offal, and even bull penis. Considering all that, the cost-effectiveness is far superior to that of leek duck.

Moreover, if you think it's too expensive, you can sell it in smaller quantities, around 4000-5000 yuan per kilogram.

In the farm, almost every Farfetch'd duck and Kentauro sleeps and eats, eats and sleeps, without exercising or fighting, just to be served on the dinner table.

This is no different from a regular meat farm. The only difference is that regular farms feed their animals commercial feed, while elf farms feed them a mixture of commercial feed and energy cubes.

For a Pokémon, this price is quite cheap.

But as an ingredient, it's absolutely astronomically expensive!

Xia Zhi is a regular customer at the black market's elf market. The more often she buys, the more discounts she gets, sometimes ten or twenty thousand.

Xia Zhi only has large-clawed crabs; she doesn't plan to buy farmed ones, but rather catch them herself.

Compared to Tauros and Farfetch'd, Crabcrab is a more common Pokémon, and it is found in many of the rivers and lakes of Viridian Forest.

Compared to the giant crab, the king crab, although its evolved form, is larger and heavier, has less tender meat and is somewhat tougher.

The giant claw crab uses most of its energy to harden its shell and claws, and its meat content is almost the same as that of the big claw crab, which is not cost-effective at all.
