Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 5 Green Hedgehog?

A level 1 special attack fruit was harvested.

Bai Zhen is going to make this fruit into a dish according to the introduction.

But as soon as he returned home, he found a large number of Pokémon gathered in his yard.

After careful identification, it was Hot Baby, Olinio and many other Pokémon.

The most eye-catching thing is the 1.6-meter-tall Oliva behind Oliniu and other Pokémon.

She was surrounded by seven or eight mini-fuss, and there seemed to be a small green dumpling.

Seeing everyone, Bai Zhen remembered that he had invited everyone to share pickles at home tonight.

Bai Zhen looked at the time and didn't expect that it was already 5 pm.

"Oops, I forgot the time because I was busy."

Bai Zhen took Tan Xiaoshi and trotted over.

As soon as they got closer, many Pokémon greeted Bai Zhen one after another.

"Gah!" Three little hot babies came over carrying the bamboo basket Bai Zhen lent them in the afternoon.

They handed the bamboo basket back to Bai Zhen.

Bai Zhen took it and responded with a smile: "Thank you for sending it back to me."

After saying hello to the three little ones, Bai Zhen turned to look at the Oliva family.

He greeted the leader Oliva very respectfully and said: "You are very welcome to come to my home. I am also very grateful for the olive oil you presented me. Thanks to your help, I was able to capture the first Pokémon."

Oliva is one of the most powerful Pokémon on the island.

The level has reached level 61.

The attribute values ​​are: physical attack 108, special defense 133, special attack 201, special defense 172, and speed 71.

She protects 2 Olinios and 8 Miniatures.

Their territory is only less than 500 meters away from Bai Zhen's house, and they are very friendly neighbors.

Oliva closed her eyes and nodded to Bai Zhen.

She exuded a good smell, and being in it, Bai Zhen's spirit, which was originally a little tired due to the synthetic fruit, was relaxed.

Oliva lowered his head and glanced at the attendant beside Bai Zhen.

Naturally, she knew Tan Xiaoshi, and the two had a close friendship as neighbors.

Once, when her child Minifu was in danger, Tan Xiaoshi took action to save Minifu.

Her impression of the charcoal servant was that of a warrior with a chivalrous heart.

Seeing Bai Zhen subduing Tan Xiaoshi, Oliva was also happy for Tan Xiaoshi.

Oliva withdrew her gaze, and she picked a fruit full of olive oil from under her green grass wings and gave it to Bai Zhen, as a congratulatory gift for Bai Zhen to win over a reliable partner.

Bai Zhen was not polite to Oliva and thanked him properly after accepting it.

"Thank you. Please wait a moment and I'll take out the pickling jars."

Just as Bai Zhen was about to enter the room to move the pickles, Oliva stopped him.

"Mawa."

"Huh?" Bai Zhen looked at the other party, wondering what else she had to do. She saw a small green hedgehog slowly poked its head out from behind Oliva. She looked at Bai Zhen nervously, with most of her body covered with blood. Hidden behind Oliva.

Bai Zhen looked at the little green hedgehog, and after a moment of reaction, he recognized the Pokémon.

"This is a fantasy Pokémon, Shimi?! How come Shimi appears in the Padia region?"

Bai Zhen searched for memories in his mind.

Legend has it that Shemi would move around the world in order to grow flowers. Could it be said that Shemi went to the Padia region to grow flowers?
  Bai Zhen briefly checked the other party's panel.

At level 30, as a fantasy Pokémon, its strength can only be said to be average.

Bai Zhen asked Oliva where this Semi came from, and Oliva explained.

Bai Zhen didn't understand a word he said
  He couldn't understand what the Pokémon said.

But from the other person's body language and the confusion revealed on his face, Bai Zhen could roughly guess a little bit.

It seems that this Shemi suddenly appeared on the island, and it seems to be homeless.

Bai Zhen thought for a moment and put the matter aside for the time being.

He said: "You must be hungry already, right? Wait, I'll get some food."

Bai Zhen came to the kitchen and opened the storage cabinet. There were 10 large 1-liter jars filled with pickles.

Bai Zhen took a can in each hand and came to the courtyard.

The hot babies immediately gathered around. They looked at the brown pickled water in the jar and were a little worried.

This color looks a bit off.

Bai Zhen opened the lid with a snap.

As soon as I opened it, the sour smell of pickled cucumber hit my nostrils.

The three hot babies immediately covered their noses and took two or three steps back.

Bai Zhen smiled and said: "The smell will be very strong when you first open the lid, but when the smell dissipates, it will still be very fragrant. It is full of spices."

Seeing Bai Zhen's assurance, the three little ones boldly stepped forward and sniffed again.

Sure enough, after the initial pungent smell dissipated, what was left was the aroma of spices.

Bai Zhen used chopsticks to pick out a 5 cm long pickled cucumber and handed it to one of the hot babies.

"Try it." Everyone's eyes were looking at the hot baby, wanting to see what this dish, which was very innovative to them, tasted like.

Under the gaze of everyone, the hot baby finally took a bite.

He chewed it carefully, and the crispness of the cucumber spread to everyone's ears.

"Quack!"

Suddenly the hot baby exclaimed, and swallowed the remaining two-thirds of the pickled cucumber in his stomach in two or two mouthfuls.

After eating one, it was still savoring the taste of pickled cucumber.

Seeing its reaction, others also became curious about pickled cucumbers.

Bai Zhen distributed the 11 remaining sticks in the jar to the elves.

Bai Zhen also took one and tasted it.

As soon as you take the pickled cucumber into your mouth, the sour taste of apple cider vinegar hits your taste buds, but after the sour taste passes, a refreshing sour and salty taste spreads in your mouth.

Pickled cucumbers taste very fresh. In order to make them edible directly, Bai Zhen specially reduced the sour and salty levels.

The pickled cucumbers now taste very crisp and appetizing.

After eating one, Bai Zhen opened a new can of pickled cucumbers.

He took one out, put it on a plate and placed it gently in front of Xie Mi. In order not to make the other party nervous, Bai Zhen took two steps back and opened a safe distance. He said: "This is It’s just pickled, try it.”

Xie Mi was still hiding behind Oliva, not daring to rush forward and try.

Bai Zhen didn't care. He looked around at the Pokémon. After eating the pickles, they now wanted to eat something else.

Bai Zhen thought about his own materials.

"I remember there was cream in the refrigerator." Bai Zhen quickly searched for recipes in his mind and knew what he should do.

He called the waiter Tan and said, "Please go to the basement and bring me a basket of potatoes."

After Tan Xiaoshi asked where the entrance to the basement was, he started to help Bai Zhen.

As soon as he went down to the basement, his attention was attracted by the heavy steel door.

After being stunned for a moment, Mr. Tan shook his head and stopped paying attention. He picked up a basket of potatoes and rushed to the kitchen.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Bai Zhen also took out all the materials he needed at this moment.

A bottle of cream, sugar, black pepper, and salt.

"Wow?" Tan Xiaoshi didn't know what Bai Zhen was going to do, so he asked curiously.

"The pickled cucumbers are appetizing. Everyone wants to eat something delicious now, so I'm going to use the extra potatoes to make some dishes for everyone to eat."

Bai Zhen looked at the baskets of potatoes, thought for a moment, moved the potatoes to the courtyard and asked Oliva.

"Oliva, can you use a move like the Flying Leaf Knife to peel the potatoes for me?"

Oliva did not refuse, she asked Olinio and the others to help throw the potatoes into the air, and she released the flying blade at the potatoes.

After a few brushings, the skin of the potatoes was perfectly peeled off.

Bai Zhen then asked Oliva to help cut the potatoes into strips.

At the same time, Bai Zhen started to boil water in a pot, and he put the cut potatoes into it and simmered it.

While waiting for the potatoes to be soft, Bai Zhen used his universal tool to transform into a hand mixer. He began to whip the cream with cream and sugar.

With the blessing of 100% labor-saving attribute, Bai Zhen whipped up a basin of fresh cream in a short time.

Looking at the time, it took ten minutes to boil the potatoes. Bai Zhen took another pot and put the potato strips cut by Oliva into the pot and steamed them for ten minutes.

Waiting for the potato strips to be almost cooked, Bai Zhen took them out to cool down.

While waiting for cooling, the potatoes in the other pot were already cooked. He took out the fully steamed potatoes and put them into a large pot. He used the universal tool to transform into a masher and pressed the potatoes into puree. shape, then while stirring the mashed potatoes, add the freshly whipped cream in batches.

After mixing well, Bai Zhen added an appropriate amount of black pepper and salt.

Soon, a portion of mashed potatoes was ready.

At this time, the potato strips that were almost cooked had already cooled down. Bai Zhen heated up the oil in the pot again and poured a large amount of Oliva's olive oil into it.

When the oil temperature is right, Bai Zhen puts the potato strips into the oil pan in batches and fry the potato strips until both sides are browned.

After seeing that it was fried properly, Bai Zhen took it out, put it on a plate, and poured some Bai Zhen's homemade tomato sauce on the edge of the plate.

Tomato sauce is the leftover material left over from Bai Zhen's sweet and spicy sauce, made from level 2 tomatoes.

While the mashed potatoes are being made, the fries are also done.

Information about these two dishes appeared in Bai Zhen's mind.

[Cream mashed potatoes (rareness 1): low-level cuisine. Made from high-grade potatoes, it is simple to make but rich in nutrients.

Cooking effect: Restore mental strength to a small extent within ten minutes]

[French fries (rareness 2): low-level cuisine, made with high-grade potatoes and high-grade olive oil. You can also get rich nutrition while filling your stomach.

Cooking effect: limited to general attribute skills. After eating it, a random general move with a rarity of 2 or below will gain a level upgrade. This dish can only be upgraded once. 】

Mental power recovery and general attribute and skill level improvement?
  Bai Zhen was a little surprised when he looked at the brand new dish he had created.

He remembered that the [Crash] skill that most Pokémon have is a rarity 2 skill.

Bai Zhen took the mashed potatoes and French fries to the courtyard.

Bai Zhen looked at everyone expectantly and said, "Try it quickly."
