Chapter 42: Chapter 42: New Breakfast Items
Heath had no idea he had just narrowly avoided being mistaken for a mythical creature. If he knew what Zorua was thinking, Heath would definitely tell her seriously that he was not obsessed with Zorua.
"Sigh, suddenly I don't feel like going out." Heath sighed as he looked at his food truck after getting dressed.
Although the truck now had autonomous driving capabilities, Maple still insisted that Heath should be proficient in driving himself. So with Maple's help, Heath had to go to driving school every afternoon to learn the relevant knowledge.
Yes, driving school. It was quite normal to have driving schools in the Pokémon world, especially in Viridian City where there were many cars and taxis.
Heath didn't mind going to driving school himself, but the problem was that whenever he thought of learning to drive under Jana's leadership, Heath felt his scalp tingle. This old rascal was becoming more and more unbearable, to the point where even Heath couldn't stand it.
So the thought of having to learn about driving under Jana's guidance made Heath feel unbearable, but even if he felt so miserable, business had to go on.
Heath's food cart was now officially retired. Heath only brought up the ingredients, leaving everything else on the cart.
After setting the destination for autonomous driving, Heath began preparing today's food in advance.
Originally, Heath could only provide a few breakfast items in the morning, like breakfast crapes. But now with this dream kitchen for chefs, Heath could try making some other breakfast items.
Among them, the simplest were naturally Steamed Buns and churros.
Especially during study times, because they were busy with classes, often there was no time to eat other breakfasts. Convenient to carry and easy to fill the stomach, Steamed Buns became the best choice.
The best companion for Steamed Buns was Soy Milk. Although milk could also be used, it was not quite the same.
After purchasing the ingredients at the market, Heath drove his cart to his usual spot and then busily prepared today's breakfast inside the cart.
Kneading the dough and rolling it out, using tough and not easily rotten dough to make Steamed Buns skins was the best way. Heath's Steamed Buns belonged to the type with thin skins and generous fillings. Taking a bite, almost half of it was filling, which was exactly the effect Heath wanted to achieve.
For the filling of the Steamed Buns, Heath also chose one that was more delicious and widely liked, which was the minced pork and mushroom filling.
For a good Mushroom Steamed Bun, the selection of mushrooms and meat was crucial, and the cooking method was also very important. Preparing added seasonings and pre-frying were all necessary tasks.
The mushrooms in the Mushroom Steamed Buns shouldn't be minced too finely; it was best to dice them. This way, the rich fragrance of mushrooms would spread over the taste buds when bitten into, and the meat mixed with seasonings added to the deliciousness of the mushrooms.
Heath quickly placed the Mushroom Steamed Buns in the steamer. Then he picked up the chalkboard outside the cart and wrote today's featured breakfast items: Mushroom Steamed Buns, Soy Milk, and breakfast crapes. Then he patiently waited for customers to arrive.
Zorua was lazily curling up on the table. She stretched lazily, finding the outside weather cold but cozy inside the truck.
Heath smiled. There was also a temperature control device inside the mobile food truck. Heath set it to a temperature suitable for storing ingredients.
Soon, Heath's food cart welcomed its first customer, Mr. William.
"Heath, did you get a new kitchen?" Mr. William looked at Heath's food truck in surprise, finding it somewhat incredible.
"Mr. William! Yes, I won a lottery yesterday and got a mobile kitchen introduced by Silph Co.. What would you like to eat?" Heath smiled at Mr. William and asked.
Looking at what Mr. William was carrying, Heath couldn't help but sigh that Mr. William was really something; it was Heath's first time seeing someone lift weights while jogging.
Even some bald man's exercise routines weren't so ridiculous.
"Hey, how much do these Steamed Buns and Soy Milk cost?" Mr. William put his barbell on the ground, causing a slight shake. His Machop was curiously watching Heath's food truck.
"Well, judging by Mr. William's appetite, I suggest buying fifteen Steamed Buns and five cups of Soy Milk." Heath estimated that the Steamed Buns he made were quite large, and fifteen should be enough for Mr. William to eat his fill.
Mr. William immediately took out the money and handed it to Heath. This time, Heath gave Mr. William his change, as the food purchased was different.
In no time, a large bag of steaming hot Steamed Buns, emitting heat, was packed into Heath's pocket and handed to Mr. William, while the Soy Milk was temporarily provided in a bowl.
Mr. William took out a large Steamed Bun and looked at it in his hand; it was almost as big as the palm of his hand. The skin was thin, and there was a feeling of shaking in his hand. The hot heat dissipated the cold.
Mr. William couldn't wait to take a bite. As soon as he took a bite, Mr. William couldn't help but shrink back. This Steamed Bun even had meat juice!
The mixed fragrance of fresh mushrooms and meat juice flowed into his mouth, and the outer skin of the Steamed Bun made it not too greasy. Mr. William licked his lips and took another sip of Soy Milk, nodding with satisfaction.
Watching Mr. William eat heartily, Heath smiled and then took out two Steamed Buns from the steamer and handed them to his Pokémon. It was time to let Zorua try something new; eating breakfast crapes all the time, no matter how delicious it was, would eventually get boring.
"Mr. William, how does it taste?" Heath looked at Mr. William, who had eaten three Steamed Buns and finished all the Soy Milk, and asked.
"The taste is excellent, and I feel energized, which is perfect for my muscle gain. Next time, I'll get these Steamed Buns." Mr. William nodded in satisfaction, and Heath breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the customers liked it.
Watching Mr. William leave with his weights, Heath stretched his neck. A new day had begun.
