Kitchen.
When Li Wei sprinkled chili, he treated it as if it were free, so the system's evaluation was:
A portion of Mapo Tofu with too much Sichuan peppercorn but excellent flavor.
This is a peerless dish that those who love it will adore, and those who can't eat spicy food will grit their teeth and eat anyway!
The bright red Mapo Tofu (B-rank) was placed in front of Li Wei, and he took a bite.
The tofu, blanched in boiling water, didn't fall apart, and the salt water removed the beany smell; the minced beef, stir-fried with Pixian bean paste and cooking wine, was savory.
The first sensation was hot, then spicy, but delicious!
First consumption of Mapo Tofu (B-rank) can permanently slightly increase a Pokemon's X Sp. Atk.
Although Li Wei had the physique of a Super True Human, he was not a Pokemon, so it had no effect on him.
If eaten again, it could temporarily increase X Sp. Atk.
Li Wei wondered if it would be effective for those with Psychic abilities, thinking of Sabrina and Caitlin.
Li Wei's daily quota for Mapo Tofu also became (1/6).
Looking at this Mapo Tofu (B-rank),
Li Wei couldn't help but have some strange thoughts.
Others feed X Sp. Atk potions in competitions.
I feed Mapo Tofu?
During a Pokemon battle, shout "Chotto Matte!" and then bring out a plate of Mapo Tofu?
If I get hungry during a battle, eating a dish isn't too much, right?
That's too ridiculous.
In Li Wei's opinion, the most powerful aspect of the system's special cuisine Pokedex was
that it could cook dishes that boost Pokemon abilities using simple ingredients.
This was clearly an ability that only Master Class or higher chefs, using specific ingredients, could possess when making special dishes.
But Li Wei wasn't one of them.
Smoked Round Citrus Juice was understandable; Round Citrus is a berry and inherently has the effect of restoring stamina.
But the ingredients in Mapo Tofu had absolutely nothing to do with boosting Pokemon abilities.
Making a single Mapo Tofu could boost a Pokemon's X Sp. Atk. Who would believe that if you told them?!
But the special cuisine achieved it.
Doesn't this mean I can open a Pokemon Restaurant?
Eat a plate of Mapo Tofu, drink a cup of Smoked Round Citrus Juice,
then have a portion of Crab Roe Lion's Head.
Finally, for dessert, Crispy Apple...
Pokemon's abilities would just increase as they ate.
It seems like it has a lot of potential...
However, that would have to wait until the Breeding Center was on track; his current main task was still to develop the Breeding Center.
His current special cuisine Pokedex was still too small; he should at least get one or two dozen special dishes, right?
Evening.
Li Wei's new dish, Mapo Tofu, made everyone both love and hate it; he directly used up all five portions of Mapo Tofu.
Every Pokemon got a share.
To complement the Mapo Tofu, Li Wei also specially stir-fried a portion of spicy hot pot, the extra spicy kind.
It was visibly covered with Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers, constantly releasing aroma and spiciness as it boiled.
It felt like the clear broth pot next door was even ignited.
Spicy, numbing, even making one's scalp tingle.
This was an overpowering flavor.
"I feel my head buzzing."
"Da You Ge, your lips have turned into sausage lips!"
"Holy crap, Pichu used Flamethrower!"
Jigglypuff just smelled the scent,
and its legs trembled, almost wanting to leave.
"Bo Li~" o(╥﹏╥)o
(Did I do something wrong?)
(I won't dare again~)
Rui Xi couldn't help but swallow.
"Come, Xiao Rou, eat duck intestines, these are delicious."
"Thank you, Rui Xi Jie."
"Shion, you're still growing, eat more."
"I'm eating, I'm eating!" Shion cried while eating the meatballs she picked out of the spicy hot pot.
Li Wei had Metagross help make various meatballs, such as beef balls and fish balls.
Although Metagross almost smashed the kitchen to prove its progress to Li Wei...
Have you ever seen Arm Hammer smash beef balls?
Li Wei saw it.
Li Wei was stunned and couldn't help but advise, "If it's too spicy, just eat the clear broth."
Shion clenched her fists, "No, I only want the spicy one!"
Da You Ge was even more outrageous; he had eight boxes of Moomoo Milk beside him, and he opened two cans for Shion and placed them in front of her.
"Eat, let's drink until we're standing on the boxes!"
Others get drunk on alcohol, you get drunk on milk, right?!
Pay attention to your sausage lips!
Li Wei also received enthusiastic hospitality from everyone.
"Little Boss, eat this."
"Wei Ger, come, come, come!"
"Son, this quail egg is delicious!"
Comrade Leon's fatherly love almost moved Li Wei, until Li Wei ate the unseasoned quail egg...
This thing isn't seasoned at all, hey!
(╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻
So his old man found the quail egg wasn't seasoned, couldn't waste it or throw it back, so he dumped it on him.
Heh, men.
Li Wei can eat spicy food; he's currently planning to get more chili peppers and plant them in his backyard.
If needed, building a greenhouse wouldn't be out of the question.
"Xiao Ye, you can't eat spicy food, right? How about I help you out..."
Because the pot was still boiling, Da You Ge eyed the snowflake beef mixed with Sichuan peppercorns in Xiao Ye's bowl greedily.
"No, I can do it!"
Xiao Ye had a look of facing death bravely.
Da You Ge could only let out regretful drool.
"How can there be anything as delicious as spicy hot pot in the world!"
"Ga Ao!!!"
Da You Ge and Incineroar were burning brightly.
"Da You Ge is fired up again!"
Lucario and Arcanine, who can eat spicy food, ate everything with great relish.
Metagross could eat spicy food, but only a little.
As for Drakloak... it was stunned.
Drakloak still decided to eat the sweet version of Kung Pao Chicken that Li Wei specially made for it, because it liked sweet food.
Dragapult was also bewildered.
But this scene made Dragapult recall Meria's first time eating spicy food.
(It's very interesting here.)
....
Eating spicy food is always refreshing, but the aftermath is a crematorium.
The next day, except for Li Wei and Comrade Wenhui, who could control herself, everyone else was inseparable from the toilet.
Fortunately, each person's dormitory had a toilet, and this period was relatively free, so it was a chance for them to relax.
"Drink some hot Moomoo Milk. If it's really bad, you'll have to go to the hospital."
Li Wei, Lucario, and the others delivered the hot Moomoo Milk to each room one by one.
Da You Ge's face was a bit pale.
"Thank you so much..."
After drinking the hot Moomoo Milk, Da You Ge's condition improved slightly.
Remembering Da You Ge's appearance yesterday, Li Wei teased, "Still eating?"
"Eating!"
"..."
Alright, I concede.
"If it's really bad, call me; I'll take you to the hospital."
Da You Ge shakily made an OK gesture.
"Don't worry."
...
On the other side,
A tall, slender Blond Woman in a black trench coat stood proudly against the strong wind.
"I'm almost there."
"Sister, I'm really sorry, I can't get away here, so I'll leave it to you."
The Blond Woman couldn't help but smile.
"It's fine, it's for Feebas."
Through the clouds, Garchomp, like a supersonic fighter jet, tore through the clouds and flew towards the eastern suburbs of Jubilife City...
