Not a trainer this time

There is a big difference between the back mountains in autumn and 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 swirl and slowly fall.

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

Naoki didn't pay much attention.

He jumped off the 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.

In 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, Zhi Shu harvested half a basket of wild mushrooms.

There are some that he knows, such as bolete mushrooms, gallinobacteria, coral fungi, morels, yellow bolete mushrooms, see-through green mushrooms, and the like.

Of course, there were some he didn't recognize.

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

Some of them are highly toxic.

Naoki 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, 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 was the first time he had seen this kind of ingredient.

Looking at the descriptions of some unexpected effects that would appear later, a feeling of curiosity arose in Naoki's heart.

How about... take it back and give it a try?

Even if it is highly poisonous, then as long as they don't eat it, it will be fine.

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!"

Naoki still 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 ginger 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 ginger has been preserved almost intact.

Naoki 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 first, the most important thing now is to take care of the ginger.

Naoki 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 was bleak outside, and Naoki and a group of Pokémon were nestled in their warm home, making brown sugar ginger tea for them.

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

Naoki could see them as long as he raised his head.

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

During this period, several Pokémon also raised their heads and looked in his direction.

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

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

First peel and slice the ginger, then pour water into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then add brown sugar and two red dates, then reduce to low heat and cook for twenty minutes, then add the sliced ​​ginger and cook for five minutes.

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

Naoki first tried a sip by himself. 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 ginger tea emerged.

[Brown sugar ginger tea (A): A drink brewed with brown sugar and ginger, which incorporates various inner emotions of the maker, thus greatly improving the effect of this drink.

Cooking effect: Warming Level 3. After the Pokémon drinks it, it will drive away 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.

Comments: A good helper to keep warm from the cold, the best choice in cold winter! ]

Um?

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

Naoki was a little surprised. He recalled his mood when he had just made brown sugar ginger 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, Naoki smiled knowingly.

After making a lucky pudding for the baby bear to be permanently lucky, 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!"

Naoki shook his head, throwing away all the emotions in his heart, then poured the brewed brown sugar ginger 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 and came to drink tea.

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

Therefore, 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 in the living room.

Apparently, they were choked by the spicy smell.

Naoki 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 looked like he didn't like the taste very much.

Brother Ai Tuan Shi was about to say something, but the next second, he felt his body becoming warm from the inside out.

This made her face full of surprise: "Ai eh?"

The other Pokémon also felt it, and the spicy taste in their mouths dissipated slightly, and their attention was completely 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 Pokémon, Naoki explained:

"This is brown sugar ginger tea. It can drive away the coldness in your body, make you less likely to get sick, and help you grow up healthily."

Sister Aiguanshi suddenly remembered that Naoki had just gone to the back mountain on a goat.

It quickly asked: "Love?"

Naoki saw what it meant and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the wild ginger grown in the back mountain is used. Just now I went into the mountain with my goat to find them."

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

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

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

Therefore, Luton suddenly felt like crying.

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