"Look forward to it, there's even more delicious food tonight."
Upon hearing about food, Magikarp excitedly thrashed about, splashing water everywhere in the bathtub. This time, Fang Gu couldn't dodge in time and was soaked to the bone.
Fang Gu had no choice but to recall the Magikarp with a Poké Ball and go back to his room to change into clean clothes.
By the time Fang Gu returned to the kitchen counter, Fang Xiaolu had completed most of the steps, with only the last one remaining.
Fang Xiaolu encountered a problem at this step: adding the fruit puree to the tree fruit.
She looked at Fang Gu with teary eyes: "I don't know what flavor Miao Miao likes."
Fang Xiaolu felt a little regretful. She didn't even know what flavors Miaomiao liked. If she made flavors that Miaomiao didn't like, would Miaomiao still like her?
"Brother Fang Gu, what should we do?"
Fang Xiaolu pouted and looked to Fang Gu for help.
Fang Gu scratched his head; he wasn't omnipotent either.
Taste is something that varies from person to person and from Pokémon to Pokémon.
"Meow~"
Fang Gu and Fang Xiaolu exchanged a glance after hearing a meow.
"That's definitely Meowth's voice!"
Fang Xiaolu was unusually excited.
Chapter 40 Coconut Fruit
"It seems that Meow Meow knows that we are preparing a surprise for it."
Fang Gu put his hands on his hips and said with a sigh of relief.
Although I couldn't understand what Meowth was saying, it was clear that Meowth had given its own hints.
"If everyone already knows, can it still be called a surprise?"
Fang Xiaolu pouted, "However, I will definitely make a flavor that will surprise you!"
Fang Xiaolu noticed the unidentified tree fruit beside her.
It was a purple, unidentified tree fruit with yellow tips, which Fang Xiaolu had never seen before.
"Brother, what is this?"
"This is coconut nut, a very rare tree fruit that is mainly astringent with a hint of sweetness."
Fang Gu had never bought this kind of tree fruit before, because it was very rare in the Carlos region and could fetch a high price from tree fruit merchants.
"So this is the hint that Meow Meow gave me!"
Fang Xiaolu held the coconut fruit, her little face flushed.
Miao Miao gave her the ingredients to prove that it was also looking forward to the bouillet Fang Xiaolu would make!
But what Fang Gu saw had another meaning.
The fact that Meowth, a wild Pokémon, was able to pick these coconut nuts means that there must be coconut nut trees not far from Stardew Valley!
These tree fruits can be sold for a high price of one hundred Alliance coins from tree fruit merchants.
Although 100 Alliance Coins may not seem like much, a normal tree fruit, such as an Orange Fruit, costs 10 Alliance Coins.
Because tree fruits grow particularly fast, a seedling can grow into a fruit tree in just one day, and each fruit tree can produce more than ten fruits every day after 24 hours.
The number of fruits also increases as the age of the fruit trees increases.
According to a doctor, these tree fruits feed 90% of wild Pokémon in the wild.
Fang Xiaolu had already torn open the coconut shell, mashed the fruit into a puree, and squeezed it into the embryo. All she had to do was wait for it to take shape.
Fang Xiaolu clapped her hands, a hopeful smile on her face, and then ran to Fang Gu's side.
"Let me help you, Brother Fang Gu!"
"Then I'll thank Rukia on behalf of Bulbasaur and the others."
Fang Gu was indeed quite busy, as he had to prepare Bulbasaur, three bees, and Magikarp's Pouflet all by himself.
Robin will even be coming over later, and he'll need to entertain him.
Fang Xiaolu helped Fang Gu make fruit puree of the standing tree fruit, while Fang Gu prepared fruit puree of the peach fruit himself.
With Fang Xiaolu's help, Fang Gu quickly produced the first batch of Baofulei.
Looking at the freshly baked pink bourbon, Fang Gu smiled slightly and added a whole peach to the top of the bourbon.
Ta-da! Pouflei has appeared!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a dish. You have gained 1 cooking experience point.]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully created a standard sweet poppies.]
[General Sweet Pouflet: Quality D. This Pouflet is made by Fang Gu using Peach Berries. It has a sweet taste. Feeding it to Pokémon that like sweets will greatly increase their friendship level. Feeding it to Pokémon that don't dislike sweets will increase their friendship level by a small amount. Feeding it to Pokémon that don't like sweets will decrease their friendship level.]
This sound repeated itself six times in Fang Gu's head.
One batch of bouillet produces exactly six.
This means that one batch of Bouffet is equivalent to +6 cooking experience, and the time required is similar to that of cooking a dish.
"If only we could keep making poppies..."
Fang Gu's eyes lit up instantly.
He found a shortcut to boost his cooking skills!
…………
Fang Gu took the freshly baked poppies and went out to find Bulbasaur and Tribeca, who were playing in Stardew Valley Ranch.
At this moment, Bulbasaur is lazily sunbathing, with three bees leaning against its back.
It is obvious that the three bees are sucking the nectar from Bulbasaur's flower.
What Fang Gu didn't expect was that Robin was also squatting down next to Bulbasaur, talking to Bulbasaur about something.
"Robin, when did you arrive?"
Fang Gu stepped forward and suddenly spoke, startling Robin. Robin was momentarily stunned, his center of gravity shifted backward, and he frantically shook his arms trying to regain his balance.
"Be careful."
Fang Gu reacted quickly, grabbing Robin's arm and looking embarrassed.
It seems he scared Robin.
"me……"
Robin's cheeks were as red as the sunset, and he stammered, unable to speak.
[Ding! Robin's favorability +10]
Fang Gu was stunned. What had he done now? Robin was way too easy to win over!
Bulbasaur approached Fang Gu, extended the vines beneath its seed, and pulled their still-holding hands apart, then rubbed against Fang Gu's trouser leg.
Three bees also came over and flew around Fang Gu a few times.
"I've prepared something delicious for you."
Fang Gu took out a small box containing Baofulei from his personal storage pouch and slowly opened it.
An enticing aroma wafted out of the box.
Bulbasaur immediately moved closer; it smelled of Peach Berry, but there was something different about it.
Three bees hovered in front of Fang Gu.
"Come one by one."
Fang Gu fed the Bulbasaur and the three bees one by one, and a happy expression appeared on the latter's face.
If Fang Gu could see the information on the Pokémon?
You'll definitely see a big heart pop up above Bulbasaur's and Tribeca's heads.
Then Fang Gu took out a pink bouillet and handed it to Robin.
"Would you like to try some?"
"Keep up the good work later!"
Fang Gu's face broke into a bright smile; he had already noticed Robin's subtle, almost imperceptible, glance.
[Ding! Robin's intimacy level +10!]
"Then I'm welcome."
Robin took the poppetal from Fang Gu, took a small bite, and his eyes seemed to sparkle with stars.
"It's so delicious I want to bite my tongue off."
Robin then threw out a Poké Ball, and a Wood Spirit appeared on her shoulder.
Each person takes a bite to share.
Fang Gu watched this scene with a smile, then took out another bouillet, saying, "Eat slowly, there are more here."
…………
After giving the remaining Poufleurs to Bulbasaur and the three bees, he told them to go back early, as there were still Poufleurs being made at home.
The two little ones' eyes lit up, and they dashed back into the little house in a flash.
Fang Gu could only shake his head and lead Robin towards the chicken coop and the elf's house.
Robin told Fang Gu that she had just arrived and was asking Bulbasaur where Fang Gu was when Fang Gu popped out.
"Seriously, that startled me!"
Robin lightly tapped Fang Gu's shoulder with his fist.
Fang Gu rubbed it.
