Chapter 16: Habits
Taylor is cooking.
But what he didn't know was that while he was cooking, Casey was spying on him.
Or it can be said that it is not really peeping, after all, Casey is filming directly by controlling the phone through its powers.
A small, pink mobile phone floated above the kitchen, filming Taylor cooking.
Casey sat quietly in its quiet corner, and the blue light in its eyes was particularly dazzling.
Its filming skills were so good that Taylor hardly noticed that a mobile phone was filming around him.
Taylor also didn't know that Casey had a cell phone.
After all, Taylor runs a Pokémon orphanage, not a prison. After the Pokémon were sent here, Taylor would only give them a physical examination, then introduce the basic structure of the Pokémon orphanage, and then let the little ones move freely.
Because Taylor found that by doing this, the Pokémon could integrate into the Pokémon orphanage more quickly.
Mash the Enigma Berry paste into a smooth consistency and simmer it gently in water. Then cut the potatoes and prepare the seasoning.
The recipe for simmered Enigma Berry paste with potatoes is not complicated. As long as you follow the recipe, the taste will not be too bad.
When the potatoes and Enigma Berry paste started to cook, Taylor prepared to make scrambled eggs with peppers and other foods.
When Taylor was almost done, the phone instantly disappeared from the kitchen and returned to Casey's hands.
Casey sat on the floor, took out her cell phone, and started tinkering with it.
After a while, a new video appeared on the Never-Ending Video website under an account called [Three Meals a Day at the Pokémon Orphanage].
[Casey is here to post a video again? Today's dish is very luxurious]
[It's Enigma Berry paste, and it doesn't look like the common berries!]
[I want to go to the Pokémon orphanage and be a volunteer]
[The Alliance does not accept freeloaders]
With 130,000 fans, this video instantly received a lot of comments.
Casey looked at the video in its hand, then clicked on the Creator Center and looked at its withdrawable rewards, which had accumulated to 10,000 Alliance Coins.
Casey decisively chose to withdraw the money and then donated it to the Pokémon orphanage's social account.
"Wow? A kind-hearted person donated money? Is it this person?" Taylor's cell phone vibrated. He took out his phone and took a look. There was a donation message on it.
Taylor knew the source of the donation. After all, this was not the first or second time the other party had donated.
Ms. Rowan, who does not want to reveal her name.
Well, this account often donates to Taylor's Pokémon orphanage from time to time, and each time it donates 10,000 Alliance Coins, no more, no less.
Taylor also wanted to thank the other party, but this person always made donations online and did not leave any contact information, and the Alliance would not disclose the personal information of the donors, so Taylor did not know who to thank.
"There are a lot of kind people in the Pokémon world," Taylor sighed.
He knew that the average salary in Viridian City was 5,300 Alliance Coins per month.
It looks very high, but as we all know, the average salary should not be taken too seriously. After all, if you average Taylor and a successful magnate, Taylor's earnings are a tiny fraction compared to others' wealth, but is that possible?
Taylor is just a fraction of other people's assets, or even not even a fraction.
Under such circumstances, Taylor was still very grateful that Ms. Rowan could donate 10,000 Alliance Coins from time to time.
Ten thousand Alliance Coins can do a lot of things.
He put his phone back into his pocket, took out a notebook to record the donation information, and then Taylor went out with the food.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the cafeteria, Taylor saw Bonk, Kuro, and Puffin already sitting in their chairs, staring at him eagerly.
Lucy and the other five volunteers also looked at Taylor expectantly.
"It seems that Kuro was the one who told the everyone," Taylor put the food on the table with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. Taylor guessed it right. It was Kuro who told us," Lucy looked at the food in front of her expectantly, while Taylor had already gotten used to it.
Although Kuro is a Murkrow, he has a very sensitive nose. Every time Taylor prepares delicious meals, Kuro will notify the Pokémon in the Pokémon orphanage and come early to wait for the food.
Unexpectedly, this time Kuro also notified the volunteers, but this also saved Taylor a lot of trouble.
Taylor began to divide the plates, but when he counted the Pokémon plates, he noticed two extra ones, a habit from when Nova and Dusk were still around. After recounting, he remembered that Nova and Dusk had been adopted.
Thinking of this, Taylor looked at the two extra plates in his hands and was silent for a moment, reflecting on the adjustment.
Then he put the plates away.
Habit is a terrible thing.
When Nova and Dusk were still around, Taylor could easily grab about the same number of plates. Now that Nova and Dusk are gone, Taylor is still a little uncomfortable with the adaptation.
However, separation and reunion have always been the main theme of the Pokémon orphanage, and Taylor cannot always raise these little ones. The best thing for the abandoned Pokémon is for them to be taken back by trainers who love them.
Then Taylor started to scoop out today's lunch. All the ingredients were packed separately and then scooped out separately, which was a little more hygienic.
After dividing it equally, Taylor took out a separate portion and put it aside, and Casey immediately took the portion of simmered Enigma Berry paste with potatoes.
"Mr. Taylor, the food you cook is delicious. Did you run a restaurant before?" A male volunteer couldn't help but ask. Taylor glanced at the other person. He remembered that the boy's name was Will.
"I did consider opening a restaurant before, but later gave up. However, I often cook at home," Taylor smiled. When he first came to the Pokémon world, he had thought about whether to open a restaurant.
At that time, he would buy a food truck and travel around, but with the arrival of the system, Taylor gave up this idea. Now, Taylor feels that he is living a good life.
It is a very happy thing to accompany these little ones every day.
"I think, if Mr. Taylor opens a restaurant, the business will definitely be booming," Lucy said.
This Enigma Berry paste is fragrant and delicious. The rich aroma fills the air with every bite.
"I agree," the other boy nodded in agreement, then looked at Taylor hesitantly.
"Still hungry? Here's more," Taylor smiled and served him another portion.
The boy thanked him embarrassedly, and Taylor smiled and waved his hand, then sat aside and ate his lunch. He left a separate portion for the Teddiursa, but there was still a lot left.
It's a bit too much to do.
With a loud "bang", Taylor subconsciously turned his head and looked out the window.
