Chapter 3 Hot Noodle Soup

 As the most basic dish, the preparation of clear soup noodles is very simple.

 Put the water in a pot and bring it to a boil. When the water boils, add instant ramen noodles.

If there are enough ingredients, Naoki will add chopped green onion and lard to the noodles to absorb the soup, then put the noodles into a bowl. At that time, the chopped green onions will float to the top of the soup, adding a touch of green to the bowl of noodles, making it more enjoyable. Have an appetite.

 Finally, add a drop of sesame oil into it, and put the soft-boiled eggs prepared in advance into it. When you poke it with chopsticks, the golden egg liquid will slowly flow out and merge with the noodle soup.

Just thinking about it made Naoki drool.

However, returning to reality, what was placed in front of him were only those basic seasonings.

 Sighing silently in his heart, Naoki learned yesterday's lesson and added an appropriate amount of salt and chicken essence to the pot.

 Soon, a simple noodle soup was ready.

Naoki filled two bowls and looked down while picking them up. The information about this noodle soup immediately emerged from his mind.

[Hot noodle soup (C-): Low-grade cuisine, the taste is slightly inferior due to the lack of some key ingredients, but it is a good choice to warm the spleen and stomach in the cold winter.

 Cooking effect: Cold resistance protection level 1, with cold resistance effect that can withstand severe cold. After drinking it, the body will become warmer, and the duration is 30 minutes.

Rating: Although the quality of the ingredients is low, the skillful cooking techniques add a unique flavor to it. When the player becomes rich in the future and can cook master-level dishes, he may recall these days. ]

 Naoki: “…”

At this time, the motorcycle lizard on the side sniffed the smell wafting in the air.

 “Quaao?”

Zhi Shu looked at it, then brought two bowls of noodles to the table and called to the Motorized Lizard: "Come over and try?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

The Motorized Lizard frowned uneasily. To be honest, as a Motorized Lizard, it didn't like the smell very much.

And there was nothing else in the bowl except for the white noodles. From the appearance, the food didn't seem to taste very good.

When Naoki saw it like this, he immediately understood what the Motorized Lizard was thinking. He sighed helplessly in his heart, and instead of forcing it, he comforted him: "Forget it, just don't eat if you don't want to eat!"

As he spoke, he began to fantasize with joy: "When I make money to buy other ingredients in the future, I can make you the food you like!"

 Zhi Shu is full of expectations for the coming life on the ranch.

 Hearing this, Motorized Lizard felt guilty.

 This is food specially prepared for it by its new owner. Wouldn’t it be bad if it doesn’t taste it?

Thinking of this, Motorized Lizard looked down at the noodle soup in front of him and said hesitantly: "Gah!"

Then let it eat this bowl of noodles!

The Motorized Lizard stretched out two plump paws, picked up the hot soup noodles in front of him, and poured it into his mouth.

The worst situation he imagined did not occur. Although the taste of this bowl of noodles was very plain, after drinking it, Motorized Lizard suddenly felt that his body became warm, as if he had returned to his mother's arms.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Seeing the sudden movement of the Motorized Lizard, Naoki was a little surprised at first, but then he calmed down.

He looked at the Motorized Lizard, thinking about the effect of this bowl of hot noodle soup, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"

Hearing Naoki's voice, the Motorized Lizard came back to his senses: "Gah!"

It immediately lowered its head in confusion and looked at its own body.

　　Why did it suddenly become warmer when there was no human being riding on my back?

Seeing its behavior, Zhi Shu suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"It seems that the food can really bring benefits to Pokémon." Naoki thought to himself, and he continued to ask: "Do you feel that your body has become warmer, not as cold as just now?" Although it is spring, the temperature is still It hasn't fully recovered yet, especially in the morning, it's still cold.

The Motorized Lizard raised his head and looked over in surprise, as if to say: How did you know?

 “Quaao?”

Naoki said with a smile: "This is the power of food."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Motor Lizard looked puzzled. This sentence was too advanced for it.

 Because it's just a motorcycle lizard.

Zhi Shu did not continue to explain. Anyway, the Motorized Lizard will always understand when we live together in the future.

After confirming the effect of the food he made on Pokémon, Naoki was in a good mood. He quickly finished his breakfast, cleaned the tableware, and then walked out of the cabin and went outside.

The deserted pasture is covered with lush vegetation, and from time to time a bird Pokémon that is out looking for food flies overhead.

 Breathing the fresh air around him, Naoki took a deep breath and immediately prepared to walk around.

 He planned to get familiar with this place first.

Walking with the Motorized Lizard in the middle of the ranch, Naoki discovered that the ranch was larger than he had imagined.

The edge of the pasture is surrounded by wooden fences. The area in the middle is huge. To the east is a vibrant valley. Standing in the pasture, you can hear the calls of wild Pokémon coming from there.

 The farmland area occupies one-third of the pasture. There is a lake in the southwest corner and a surrounding river. There is a wooden bridge on the river, connecting the pasture to the other side of the river.

Zhi Shu stood on the bridge, looking at the decayed and broken wooden fence on the river bank, thinking that he still had a lot of work to do.

 Clear weeds, rocks, cut down excess trees, and re-cultivate fields in preparation for planting.

As for the Pokémon house used to keep the big milk tank, Naoki is not ready to repair it now.

 One is that there is not enough wood, and the other is that he has no funds.

  After all, whether it is rebuilding a Pokémon house or purchasing Pokémon in large milk tanks, a large amount of money is required.

Standing in front of the lake on the edge of the farmland, Naoki squatted down, observed the size and depth of the lake, and thought to himself: "It would be a very good choice to raise fish here."

 According to the memory of the original owner, in addition to Pokémon, this world also contains ordinary animals.

However, compared to ordinary fish, Naoki wants to raise some water-type fish Pokémon.

Like Magikarp, Angora, Ugly Fish, Swampert Fish, etc.

Be a little more bold, such as Gyarados, Menas, Water Eevee, and Western Lion and Hairen.

Although these fish are not edible, perhaps it is because of the obsession of a collecting player. As long as I keep them here and watch them grow, I will be satisfied.

 Zhi Shu summarized these things one by one in his mind, and he found that there were many, many things waiting for him to do.

 It is far from being accomplished in a short period of time.

The past ranch management games came to mind, and Naoki was speechless for a moment.

 He just escaped from 996, is he going to meet 007?
