People in Zongman: My Dimensional Cuisine

Ash originally wanted to rest for a while and then go back, but he was also a little hungry from chasing Pikachu, and his stomach started growling a few times.

Bai Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Good answer~ So, what does Pikachu want to eat?"

"Pickup!"

Ash said excitedly, "Shopkeeper, do you have Magikarp here... Uh... I forgot we're in another world. Do you have any recommendations? If possible, I'd like some grilled meat."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand. Please wait a moment. Also, Cerberus, don't scare Pikachu."

"Got it!" x3

After Bai Yu returned to the kitchen, Lucifer also came over. Seeing Pikachu playing happily with Cerberus and the others, he looked at Pikachu with some anticipation and reached out his hand to Pikachu, saying, "Hello, little guy~"

Pikachu looked at Lucifer's hand, took two steps forward, and hugged Lucifer's hand with its two little paws. A warm, fluffy, and soft feeling came from Lucifer's fingers.

Lucifer felt as if something had struck her heart. Her lips twitched—a forced smile—as she struggled to maintain composure while simultaneously trying to appear friendly.

What do you mean by "losing composure"!

Lucifer looked at the cute Pikachu and immediately picked it up and rubbed it against her face. Pikachu was a little stunned, but it knew that the older sister in front of it seemed to like it very much.

Ash sat down in the soft chair and let out a long sigh of relief. He was exhausted from chasing Pikachu on foot; his legs were about to fall off. Tony Stark, meanwhile, sipped his coffee and chatted with Ash about their world, his eyes never losing their sparkle.

Chapter 165 Tony Stark's Amazing Idea (Please Subscribe~)

The shop was bustling yet harmonious, which is probably what Joichiro Yukihira described it as: no matter how lively it was, it never felt noisy, but rather a gentle warmth.

Tony Stark stared in astonishment at the two objects in front of him. The Poké Ball could actually hold a live Pokémon and carry it with him at all times. This was simply cutting-edge technology!

The other thing was something similar to an electronic dictionary, except that it contained information about various Pokémon, such as their habits and evolution paths.

Tony paused for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Growlithe can run that fast?! And it can keep running that fast?! A dragon?! Does that thing really exist?! Wait! A Magikarp can evolve into a dragon?! God! Hyper Beam?! What the hell?!"

Watching Tony Stark was like reading an absurd, mindless wish-fulfillment novel. When he saw a Pokémon, he went from nodding repeatedly at the beginning to being surprised and screaming non-stop.

Ash was also very interested in the topic of Pokémon. He would explain anything that surprised Tony Stark, such as when Tony Stark asked a Grass-type Pokémon if using Razor Leaf would make him bald.

For example, are those Pokémon that explode committing suicide?

Unlike the two guys here who were discussing Pokémon, Lucifer was having a lot of fun playing with Pikachu. Mainly because Pikachu was so cute and smart. It could understand everything you said and would even make funny faces.

"Can I change?" x3

"Pika pika~"

"Pickup!"

When Pikachu mimicked Cerberus's face and even twitched its ears, the Cerberus were immediately impressed. Whether it looked like Cerberus or not, it was undeniably cute.

Lucifer has made up his mind. Bai Yu said that he might be able to go to another world in the future. If he really can go, he must go to the Pokémon world and find two cute Pokémon to raise. They're so cute! They can even help with chores!

In the kitchen, Bai Yu heard Lucifer and Cerberus playing with Pikachu, and heard Tony Stark and Ash talking excitedly about Pokémon. He shook his head with a smile. Sure enough, a restaurant needs more than just a lively atmosphere; it also needs a touch of human warmth.

"Polyelectric Magnus, Alakazam, these three Pokémon are practically made for scientists!"

Tony Stark couldn't believe it—a Pokémon that could use telekinesis and even foresee the future! What truly astounded Tony Stark was this creature's intelligence level, a staggering five thousand! Five thousand! Five hundred would be outrageous enough, but five thousand?!

Tony Stark has made up his mind: he'll get an Alakazam, no matter the cost! Five thousand intelligence points! A brain more agile than the most advanced supercomputers currently available! It would be a waste not to use it as a scientist!

He was already thinking that if Alakazam learned about technology, its brain's processing speed might actually accelerate the research progress of the Mark mech. After all, computers are inanimate, but living beings are alive; living beings can think, and they have more ideas.

Tony Stark has really thought that far ahead. Even without Alakazam, raising a Casey in its initial form wouldn't be a problem for him. Moreover, once it evolves, it becomes a super bodyguard with true supernatural power. As a scientist, how could Tony Stark not know how terrifying telekinesis is?

He has now decided to visit this place often; it has delicious food, a quiet environment, and all sorts of interesting guests.

Tony Stark had an idea: could he ask Ash to catch him an Abra so he could give it to him when he came to the shop later? Just thinking about it was exciting! (His mind was filled with images of Iron Man throwing a Poké Ball and shouting, "I choose you! Alakazam!" *Pfft...*)

Just as Tony Stark was about to speak, he smelled a fragrance. Before this fragrance could show its power, it was overtaken by another fragrance.

In an instant, the entire store was filled with an enticing aroma. Pikachu stared wide-eyed, drooling. It couldn't help it; the smell was just too good. Pikachu felt like it was being completely drawn away by the fragrance.

Just as Pikachu was about to run over, drawn by the aroma, it saw Bai Yu pushing a food cart out. Pikachu and Ash were thrilled to see this, because in their eyes, Bai Yu looked like a delicious plate of food.

"Well then, this is Ash's Brazilian barbecue, I've already cut it up for you. And this is Pikachu's various cookies. And this is pure milk on the side, please enjoy."

Xiao Zhi didn't know what Brazilian barbecue was, but he knew what barbecue was. Now, seeing the fragrant and steaming barbecue in front of him, with its tempting charred color and seasonings, his mouth watered.

Pikachu sat down in front of the small bamboo basket containing cookies. Of course, Bai Yu had prepared not just one type of cookie, but all kinds of cookies, including chocolate, nut, dried fruit, and so on.

Animals have a far more powerful sense of smell than humans. Pikachu rested its two little paws on the edge of the bamboo basket, its eyes fixed on the rich aromas of milk, butter, and chocolate. The whole mouse was completely intoxicated by them.

Pikachu picked up a butter cookie, sniffed it, and swallowed hard. Ash also picked up a fork, swallowed hard, and said, "Then I'll dig in without being polite!"

"Pickup!"

Click.

Pikachu moved its mouth! It took a bite! Pikachu froze! Ash also took a bite! Ash ate it too! Ash started trembling!

Tony Stark and the others looked at the two little guys with puzzled expressions. What's wrong? Something doesn't seem right.

Just as Tony was about to ask something, he saw Ash gripping his fork tightly in one hand, tears welling in his eyes, and shouting, "It's so...delicious! How can there be such delicious barbecue! I was so glad I came!"

"Pikapi!"

Tony Stark was also amused; it was the first time he'd ever seen someone cry while eating cookies and Brazilian barbecue! Lucifer, his eyes shining, watched Pikachu wolfing down cookies while crying, and felt completely healed. He quietly took out his phone and snapped a picture.

The Cerberus were stunned for a moment when they saw this, then shouted in unison, startling Pikachu, who looked up at the Cerberus with a blank expression while holding a cookie.

"Master! I've got it! I remember!"

Bai Yu was also taken aback by the sudden action of the Cerberus. The Cerberus turned their heads in unison and looked at Bai Yu with anxious expressions, their anxiety almost overflowing.

Seeing Cerberus like this, Bai Yu asked in confusion, "You remember now? Forgot what?"

The Cerberus ran up to Bai Yu and said seriously, "A headshot!" x3

Lucifer was taken aback. Photo booth pictures? What photo booth pictures? Bai Yu paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Oh, you mean photo booth pictures? I did forget to go back and take some. Let's go another time~"

Cerberus nodded, and before the other Pikachu could react, it saw the Cerberus exchange glances and then merge back together.

"Pikapi!"

"I'm no longer surprised..."

Cerberus shuddered slightly before laughing and saying, "Master, master, master! When do you have time? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? The day after that?"

Bai Yu smiled and patted Cerberus's head, saying, "I'm not so sure about that, because I don't know what will happen until tomorrow. It's precisely because we don't know what will happen tomorrow that life is interesting."

This statement startled Tony Stark. Indeed, tomorrow is unpredictable; no one knows if some apocalyptic disaster will suddenly occur tomorrow.

Cerberus nodded and sat down to one side, looking somewhat dejected. But before he could do anything, Bai Yu pulled him over and made him sit next to Bai Yu.

"Master, master, master, what are you going to do?"

Bai Yu didn't say anything, but pulled Lucifer over as well. Lucifer looked at Bai Yu with a puzzled expression but didn't say anything. Bai Yu took out his phone, told them to look ahead, and then nodded and put his phone away.

Cerberus hadn't reacted yet, but Lucifer did, and said with a displeased look, "I wasn't prepared! Take another one!"

Cerberus was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Master, master, master! Were you taking a picture just now?"

Bai Yu casually ignored Lucifer's various complaints and said gently to Cerberus, "That's right, if you don't have time to take photos for the photo booth, you can still take them today and get them developed tomorrow at a nearby shop."

Cerberus didn't think too much about it. After nodding, he wasn't disappointed anymore. He had already taken a photo with Bai Yu, and Lucifer was there too. He would see the photo tomorrow, and Cerberus was looking forward to it.

"Bai Yu! Let's take another picture~"

"Hey! Don't ignore me! I'm going to bite you!"

"Hey! Humph!"

Lucifer knew that Bai Yu wouldn't take another picture since she was completely ignoring Bai Yu. Tony Stark wanted to say that she could take the picture herself, but he was afraid of being killed if he said it, so he decided to keep quiet.

Cerberus glanced at Lucifer, then turned to Bai Yu and said, "Master, Master, Master! I'm going upstairs to sleep!"

"Yeah~goodnight."

"Ok!"

Cerberus went up, so there was no need for a group photo anymore. It huddled to one side, sulking. Bai Yu watched a movie on the side, while Pikachu glanced at Lucifer and then tilted its head to continue eating its cookie.

Cookies are more like cakes than biscuits, because their aroma is incomparable to that of ordinary biscuits. The unique richness of the butter in cookies makes them taste like cakes – sweet, crisp, and creamy.

Even if you don't like cookies, you can't refuse to eat a couple of them. After all, only cookies can have that rich aroma. And the best thing about cookies is that no matter how you eat them, they always have a different delicious flavor.

You can soak it in milk, mash it into crumbs and pour it into coffee or hot cocoa. You can crush it and mix it with nut butter and other things to create a whole new flavor. You can even use cookie crumbs as a decoration or topping to make a real cake.

You can add cookie-related ingredients to almost all desserts, sweets, and pastries. The effect of adding cookies to different dishes is completely different, and the taste is also different.

There are so many flavors of cookies, and so many ways to make them, but no matter how you eat them, the one thing that will never change is their sweetness, that unique privilege that belongs exclusively to cookies, the cake and biscuit.

At this moment, Pikachu was holding a large piece of cookie, eating it in small bites like a squirrel eating a pine cone. Although the bites were small, the speed was not slow at all, and it basically finished the whole thing in just a few seconds.

If Pikachu had to describe its feelings at this moment, it would probably be like it's eating what it's holding while eyeing what's in the basket. It can't stop eating the cookies in its hand, and it keeps looking at what's in the basket as if it's afraid someone will snatch them away.

The aroma of cookies can leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, and the sweetness of cookies can make your taste buds rejoice. This fragrance and sweetness, this richness, is enough to make everyone say, "This cookie is delicious."

I don't know if it's the aroma of butter or cream, or the fragrance of baking or the crispness, but it's delicious.

"Phew~ This is so delicious! Thank you, manager!"

Seeing Ash slumped in his chair clutching his stomach, Bai Yu just smiled and nodded. Meanwhile, Pikachu, after finishing his meal, grabbed a glass of sweet milk and drank it all in one gulp. It was fragrant, sweet, mellow, crispy, and silky smooth.

These textures and flavors combined, and Pikachu finished drinking and immediately put down the cup, lay down on the table, rubbing its belly with a happy look on its face.

"Pica~"

"Pikachu, are you full too?"

"Pikapi!"

Hearing Pikachu's call, Ash nodded and then said to Bai Yu, "Manager, this is really delicious! We'll definitely come back if we have the chance! Can we bring our friends along?"

"Of course, you're welcome anytime. By the way, you're welcome anytime at night because I'm only open at night. Pikachu, have you eaten?"

"Pikapi!"

Bai Yu nodded, and just as Xiao Zhi was about to ask how much it cost, he heard Tony Stark laugh and say, "Hey! Xiao Zhi! I'll pay for your meal, it's just a plate of Brazilian barbecue and some cookies~"

"That's not a good idea..."

Tony Stark laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. One glass of wine from me is enough for you to eat like this for a month. But there's something I need your help with."

Ash said energetically, "Mr. Tony, please tell me! I'll do my best to help you!"

"The thing is... (several hundred words omitted here) is like this."

Ash nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Tony! If I see Casey, I'll try my best to catch one for you!"

Tony Stark patted Ash on the shoulder and said excitedly, "Thank you so much!"

"No problem, Mr. Tony! I also want to thank you for your treat!"

Seeing Ash and Tony Stark's expressions, Lucifer and Bai Yu couldn't help but think of some strange deal, but that wasn't their concern. It was clear, however, that despite their short time together, the two had a very good relationship. Male friendships are never complicated; simplicity and purity are always a man's sincere calling card. But such calling cards are limited in number.

Chapter 167 Expensive Meal Costs, Perfect for Friendships (Please Subscribe~)

Ash took Pikachu away, but Bai Yu gave them, or rather Pikachu, a box of cookies before they left. This surprised and delighted Pikachu, who then affectionately rubbed its face against Bai Yu's.

Lucifer was stunned by the scene before her. She didn't know who she should envy. But while she was thinking, Ash took Pikachu away, and Pikachu became completely excited.

It held the cookie box tightly with its two little paws. Even after Ash offered to put it in its backpack, it hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.

Tony Stark was about to say something when he suddenly remembered something, and then he glanced at his watch. Before Bai Yu could speak, Tony Stark stood up and said, "It's already this late! Boss! How much is my meal?"

Tony was already prepared to swipe his card, but he froze the next moment. Bai Yu casually said, "If you calculate the price in your currency, it should be around seven thousand yen."

Tony Stark, of course, knew how to convert currencies. He paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "Boss, this A5 steak, this Fleur de Sel, is only eighty-something dollars? Are you doing charity?!"

Bai Yu was amused by Tony Stark and waved his hand, saying, "Because this thing is priced around this level here, nothing special~ Oh, and one thing worth mentioning is that this includes Ash and Pikachu's share."

Tony Stark scratched his head and then smiled, saying, "Boss, what's your name?"
