Chapter 201 Brown Sugar Ginger Tea

 The back mountains in autumn are very different from those in spring and summer.

 The leaves on the trees are no longer green and have a faint tendency to turn yellow.

When the autumn wind blows, the dense trees overhead will make a rustling sound, and then the yellow leaves will slowly swirl and fall.

Several wild bead spiders hang upside down on the treetops with silk threads. When Naoshu passes under the tree, these frightened Pokémon will quickly retreat into the trees and carefully observe the surrounding situation.

 Zhi Shu didn't pay much attention.

 He jumped down from his goat, walked to a tall old tree, and picked a few mushrooms from the dead branches and leaves.

 This is probably the benefit of autumn.

 During this harvest season, various wild fungi will grow in the back mountains.

 Whether they are stored as dried mushrooms or used to make delicious soups, they are a very good choice.

 In just one hour, Zhishu harvested half a basket of wild mushrooms.

There are some that he knows, such as bolete mushrooms, gallinobacteria, coral fungi, morels, yellow bolete mushrooms, and green bolete mushrooms.

Of course, there are some that he doesn't recognize.

 But with the function of the golden finger, Naoki was still able to learn the names and information of these fungi.

 Many of them are highly toxic.

Zhi Shu originally wanted to throw away these mushrooms to prevent him from lying down after eating them.

 But when he saw the information about these mushrooms clearly, he gave up this plan.

[Red mushrooms: Special ingredients, highly poisonous mushrooms. Pokémon will fall into a highly poisonous state after eating them. Some unexpected effects may occur when used in cooking. ]

"Huh?" Naoki was a little surprised: "Special ingredients? Do you mean toxic ingredients?"

This is the first time he has seen this kind of ingredient.

Looking at the description of some unexpected effects that would appear later, Zhi Shu felt a sense of curiosity in his heart.

How about... taking it back and giving it a try?

 Even if it is highly poisonous, they just need not eat it.

However, based on his previous experience in making dishes, Naoki felt that these poisonous mushrooms were likely to be used to make dishes that would enhance poison-type Pokémon.

“Forget it, just give it a try!”

 Zhi Shu packed these poisonous mushrooms individually and put them away.

 Then, he rode his goat for a while in the back mountains, and finally found the **** he wanted by a wet river.

The taste of these gingers is very pungent, and except for some specific Pokémon, most Pokémon are not interested in them.

 So this cluster of **** has been preserved almost intact.

Zhishu dug them all out of the ground and put them into the basket behind him.

 After doing all this, he returned to the pasture on his goat.

 Put the wild mushrooms aside for now. The most important thing now is to take care of the ginger.

Zhi Shu opened the cupboard and checked. There was still some brown sugar at home, which was left over from making desserts with the Frost Milk Fairy.

 It just so happened that he didn't have to go to town to buy anymore.

The autumn wind is bleak outside, and Naoki and a group of Pokémon are nestled in a warm home, making brown sugar **** tea for them.

While he was handling the ingredients, a group of Pokémon were playing in the living room.

Zhi Shu can see them as long as he raises his head.

The sound of the TV and the whining sounds of Pokémon came together, making the house very lively.

 During this period, several Pokémon also raised their heads and looked towards him.

Zhi Shu looked at them, then smiled softly and continued cooking with his head down.

 The process of making brown sugar **** tea is not complicated.

Peel and slice the **** first, then pour water into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then add brown sugar and two red dates, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, then add the sliced ​​ginger and simmer for five minutes.

 The brewed brown sugar **** tea is translucent in color, and you can smell the sweet and spicy smell contained in it just from the rising heat.

Naoki first tried a mouthful on his own, and after swallowing it, he immediately felt that his body was rapidly becoming warm from the inside out. "magic."

 He looked down, and the information about brown sugar **** tea also emerged.

[Brown sugar and **** tea (A): A drink made from brown sugar and ginger. Various inner emotions of the maker are incorporated into it, thus greatly improving the effect of the drink.

 Cooking effect: Warming lv3. After the Pokémon drinks it, it will dispel the coldness on the body and warm the body and mind. For a period of time, the efficiency of practicing moves will be improved. Duration: 12h.

  Evaluation: A good helper to keep out the cold and keep warm, the best choice in cold winter! ]

Um?

 This is...the second dish that incorporates emotion?

Zhi Shu was a little surprised. He recalled his mood when he had just made brown sugar **** tea.

 It was quiet and peaceful, and the surrounding atmosphere made him feel relaxed and warm from the bottom of his heart.

 Thinking of this, Zhi Shu smiled knowingly.

 After making a lucky pudding that will always bring good luck to the baby bear, he also tried it and tried to mobilize his inner emotions to cook it.

 But because they were too deliberate, they all failed.

At that time, he understood that this kind of state was rare, so he simply let nature take its course. If he encountered it, he would regard it as a small surprise in life. If he did not encounter it, he would not be discouraged.

 “It's cooked, come over here!”

Zhishu shook his head and threw away all the emotions in his heart, then poured the brewed brown sugar **** tea into a bowl, lined it up on the stove in front of him, and shouted in the direction of the living room.

 Then, a group of Pokémon lined up obediently to drink tea.

 In their impression, all the dishes made by Naoki are delicious.

Hence, before Naoki could say anything, several Pokémon picked up their bowls and drank them all in one gulp.

However, the next second, coughs could be heard one after another in the living room.

 Obviously, they were choked by the spicy smell.

Zhi Shu looked helpless: "You have to drink this slowly!"

　　　Babu's face turned red from being choked, and tears welled up in his eyes: “Bamo…”

 The two caretakers also showed this expression.

Especially my brother, his brows were furrowed tightly and he seemed to dislike the taste very much.

Brother Ai Guanshi was about to say something, but the next second, he felt that his body was getting warm from the inside out.

This made her face full of surprise: "Love it?"

Other Pokémon also felt it. The spicy taste in their mouths dissipated slightly, and all their attention was attracted by the changes in their bodies.

Looking at this scene, Naoki asked with a smile: "Are you getting warmer?"

 “Gah!” The Motorcycle Lizard nodded with a cute expression.

 Under the curious gazes of all the Pokémon, Naoki opened his mouth and explained:

“This is brown sugar **** tea, which can drive away the chill in your body, make you less likely to get sick, and help you grow up healthily.”

Sister Ai Guanshi suddenly remembered that Naoki just rode a goat to the back mountain.

 It quickly asked: "Ai?"

Zhi Shu saw its meaning and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the wild **** grown in the back mountain is used. Just now I went into the mountain with my mount goat to find them."

Hearing this, all the Pokémon in front of them looked moved.

 Brown sugar **** tea is filled with the emotion of the maker.

 So after drinking it, they can also feel the feelings contained in it.

 So Leden suddenly felt like crying.

Until many years later, when it started to recall the past, it could still clearly recall the scene when it caught a cold today, and Naoki carried a basket on his back and went to the back mountain to find **** for it.
