Chapter 546 Seems to Be Famous
"Woooooa ... "Sorry." After a half-hearted apology, Luo Mu brought the topic back to the point, "So, what are you doing here? You keep looking inside. Are you a thief?"
Luo Mu's words made the man suddenly realize that his behavior was indeed a bit sneaky, and he refuted with a lack of confidence.
"No, I'm not a thief!"
"I'm just thinking about how to find the owner of this farm without breaking in."
"I just heard from a few people dressed as reporters that a ferocious Houndoom appears from time to time in this area, and it looks like it has eaten dozens of people alive!"
The man who tried to explain seemed to have thought of something, shuddered, and looked around again to make sure that the ferocious Houndoom had not refreshed around him.
Otherwise, he would have to leave the Onion Duck to feed the Houndoom before he could run away.
The Onion Duck hiding behind the man sneezed several times in succession, thinking that his feathers were not thick enough so he caught a cold.
After listening to the man's explanation, Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat exchanged a look with a strange expression.
Mainly because he was having a hard time holding back his laughter.
Indeed.
Since the leader of the Hound tribe, one of the two major tribes entrenched in the back mountain, was recruited, the battle-hardened Hound, who had a rather ferocious look, the farm has expanded its range a lot, but the area around the farm is quieter than before.
The reporters who tried to sneak into the farm before were also scared to death by the Hound, and they were unwilling to get close to the fence of the farm no matter what.
If Roentgen Cat is not around, it is the two little guys, Wind Speed Dog and Mahua Dog, who are patrolling instead. It is more likely that they will lead the way for others personally---Well, if it is Mahua Dog, Luo Mu may be a little hesitant, but Wind Speed Dog Luo Mu dares to guarantee it.
This guy is really like Erha at ordinary times.
His thoughts were interrupted, Luo Mu, who was trying to hold back his laughter, asked again: "What do you want to do with the farm owner?"
The man was stunned, looked at Luo Mu with some suspicion, and asked back: "Who are you? Why are you asking about this from the beginning?"
"Your question is strange."
Luo Mu walked around the man, took out the key from his thick fleece coat, and opened the farm gate, which served as a decoration against the wooden fences nearby that could be climbed over with a little effort.
Then he turned around and smiled at the stunned man: "Aren't you looking for me?"
"Mafu~" (This is a snack, please enjoy it slowly~)
The milky and salty style Frost Milk Fairy with blueberry decoration still had white steam coming out of it. The hot teacup and some snacks made from it were placed in front of the man and the Onion Duck who were a little restrained, smiled and waved at them, and turned to leave.
And Victini, who was wearing light home clothes and looking curiously at the V-shaped pattern of Farfetch's Duck, was lying on his head. Luo Mu, who was holding a burning bug, stirred the liquid in the mug with a spoon and asked, "So, why did Mr. Doyle come to the farm to visit?"
Luo Mu's eyes moved around Doyle and Farfetch'd.
Doyle did not answer the question immediately, but stared at the apple pie in front of him, took a deep breath like he was intoxicated, and then pointed at the apple pie and said.
"For it."
Luo Mu raised his eyebrows.
"Apple pie?"
Doyle nodded seriously.
"Apple pie!"
".Tell me more about it."
Luo Mu nodded slightly, accepting Doyle's answer, waiting for him to elaborate on what it meant to be for apple pie.
"When you say it, can I taste it?"
Doyle asked tentatively.
"It's up to you. This is a treat for you."
Luo Mu naturally had no intention of objecting.
Hearing this,
Doyle couldn't wait to pick up the cutlery beside him, cut off a small piece of apple pie, and tasted it with his eyes closed.
Seeing his intoxicated look, if someone didn't know him, he would think he was eating something bad.
The reaction of the Farfetch'd was similar to Doyle's.
"Yes, although there is a gap in technique and style, it is indeed that taste!"
After tasting a few mouthfuls, Doyle's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly in an uncontrollable voice.
"Maeve!"
Frosty Milk Fairy, who just came with a new pot of hot tea, heard this and immediately put down the teapot, put her hands on her waist, and looked at Doyle angrily.
What do you mean by a gap in technique! ?
Isn't the apple pie I made delicious! ?
"Sorry, sorry."
Seemingly realizing that his words were ambiguous, Doyle quickly apologized to Frosty Milk Fairy.
However, in some aspects, he was quite stubborn.
"The apple pie you made is indeed quite delicious, but there is indeed an objective gap between the style and skills of Master Zhimi."
Doyle said bluntly.
Frost Milk Fairy did not say anything about this.
It remembered that the man named Zhimi had made a big meal on the farm before it snowed not long ago. It also tasted the desserts made by the other party, which were indeed better than its own.
"Zhimi?"
Luo Mu silently recited the name and looked at Doyle.
"Do you know Zhimi?"
"Not really, I'm just an ordinary eater who was captured by Master Zhimi's food."
Doyle smiled bitterly and shook his head, took out a few photos without any bends from his backpack and handed them to Luo Mu.
Luo Mu took the photo and flipped through it. Looking at the restaurant with a stylish decoration style in the photo, he suddenly realized: "Zhimi's restaurant?"
"Yeah." Doyle nodded gently, took the photo back from Luo Mu, his eyes slightly empty, "It was a snowy night. The news that Chef Zhimi, who had been missing for almost a month, reopened the restaurant spread among us diners, and I happened to make an appointment for the day when the restaurant reopened."
"Stop!"
Seeing that Doyle was about to start from the Big Bang, Luo Mu quickly interrupted his divergent thinking.
"Get to the point."
"Oh."
Doyle nodded and honestly explained why he came to the farm.
He was born in a family in a rural town in the Carlos region who had no worries about food and drink.
The work in their family was also simple, which was to grow green onions.
Delicious green onions can be used as a condiment for many dishes. Some lucky mutated green onions can be sold as props to the neighboring Galar region at a high price. Occasionally, the bottom rhizome of green onions has a chance to become a rare prop "big rhizome".
This is also the confidence of the Doyle family to eat and drink without worries.
Doyle himself does not have the talent to become a trainer. After becoming a partner with the initial Pokémon Farfetch'd prepared by his family, his only hobby in this life is to taste all kinds of food. Becoming a well-known gourmet is his goal.
He had eaten at Shimi's restaurant once a year ago and had made an appointment in advance to taste it again.
When the appointment time was approaching, the other party suddenly closed. At that time, he thought that his appointment would be invalidated. In the end, he did not expect that he would become the first lucky person to eat the new menu after the reopening of Shimi's restaurant.
This tasting experience can no longer be described by Doyle and Farfetch'd in words. They just feel that if they can eat such delicious food again in their lifetime, they will die without regrets.
That is true, a feast of taste intertwined with top skills and ingredients.
Doyle clearly remembers how much of a sensation that feast of taste caused.
Countless media in the Carlos region have been vying to report on the "super evolution" of Zhimi Restaurant. Since then, the reservations for Zhimi Restaurant, which has become more famous, have been scheduled for five or six years later!
Gourmets from all over the world have even begun to try to buy a spot at a high price for a recent dining spot.
At that time, Doyle felt it was a pity. If he had known that he would have made a reservation immediately after tasting it, he might have been able to taste such delicious food again a year later.
This terrifying speed of progress has aroused a lot of discussion in a short period of time, because the menu of Zhimi Restaurant will mark in detail the purchase place of each ingredient and spice.
Until many gourmets took out some of the menus of Zhimi Restaurant in the past and compared them with the current menus, they found something unusual.
Just like the raw materials of apple pie as a "dessert", now apples from the largest orchard in the Carlos region are no longer used, nor are they the Beishang special apples that have always been called the "king of apples".
Instead, they are apples from an unknown "Luo Mu Farm" in the Padilla region.
After discovering this difference, many people carefully browsed the menu again. In addition to the dishes that changed their styles, they found that the raw materials of many dishes had been changed and all came from this farm.
Shimi even publicly stated that the apple raw materials used in his restaurant are now better quality and more delicious than the "Kitakami Special Apples".
It can be said that this unknown farm became completely famous from that moment on.
Doyle, who was well-informed, also took out the menu he took away from Shimi's restaurant as a souvenir and compared it with the previous menu. As expected, he also found the difference.
He simply bought the nearest flight and flew to the Padiya area.
After searching for several days, he was lucky enough to pass by a dessert shop called Paisule Mousse. He learned the specific location from the store manager there and finally found it.
And Doyle had only one request.
He wanted to taste the apples that Shimi said were more delicious than the "Kitakami Special Apples".
He was lucky enough to buy a box of "Bei Shang Special Apples". The slightly sour, sweet, juicy and soft flesh left a deep impression on him. As long as he tasted it himself, he would be able to confirm whether what Zhimi said was true or not.
"Please let me taste an apple, I will do anything!"
Doyle looked at Luo Mu with a pleading face.
Luo Mu: "."
There is no need to be so serious.
Let's not talk about the sudden and inexplicable fame of the farm.
Compared with Bei Shang Township, which played a set of hunger marketing, he had no interest in walking monkeys, and he would not resist the money that was delivered to his door.
As long as the farm can support it and the Pokémon is not too tired, he can fulfill the order requirements as much as possible.
After all, the big goal in the future is to build an "eco-dome" belonging to the farm. I don't know how much money it will cost.
The more funds, the better.
But, in Doyle's case, there is no need to collect money.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu stood up directly.
His eyes fell on the green onion duck next to Doyle, and he smiled meaningfully, which made the green onion duck feel like his duck feathers were about to explode.
"You have come all the way, so just treat the apple as my invitation to you."
"It's just that the apples freshly picked from the trees need to be provided to Zhimi Restaurant. There is a cold storage on the farm to keep fresh. Is there any problem with the apples stored in it?"
"no problem!"
Doyle nodded excitedly, thinking that Luo Mu was really a good person.
The Padia area is also good. Everyone is very kind and provides a lot of help to him, a foreigner.
Soon.
Luo Mu placed a few large, round red apples with crystal water drops on their skins in the fruit plate, without cutting them, and gave them to Doyle directly.
Then--
After Doyle took a bite solemnly like a pilgrim, he had a reaction similar to that of Tian Zhimi.
However, Doyle's reaction was much more exaggerated than Zhimi's.
"Wow wow wow——"
“It’s really more delicious than the special apples from the north!”
Looking at Doyle who was crying so much that his face was covered with tears and snot, Luo Mu was rarely speechless.
Although he was aware of it from the beginning, was this man a little emotional?
With the help of a few wet wipes handed over by Zhi Hua Orang, Doyle finally tidied himself up enough to be visible to others.
His mood has also stabilized, and he is like a hamster with the green onion duck, puffing out his cheeks and carefully tasting the apple, which is extremely exaggerated.
Perhaps people who aspire to become gourmets must be like this to be able to describe vivid feelings about food tasting.
Luo Mu sighed.
After Doyle and Scallion Duck tasted the last apple, they made a new request as expected.
"Can you sell me a box of apples? I want to take them back for my parents to taste!"
"As long as I can, I will pay any price!"
Luo Mu was not surprised by Doyle's request. It had been like this since before. Many guests who came to the farm wanted to take some crops back with them before they left.
Not to mention someone like Doyle who wants to spend money to buy it.
But just like what Luo Mu had considered before, Doyle did not need to collect money.
Hearing that Luo Mu said he would not charge money, Doyle was stunned for a second. He thought Luo Mu would not sell it, so he said cautiously: "Then half a box. Otherwise, two pills will do!"
Doyle reluctantly thought that if there were two pills, he would have to go back and give one to his parents, and one to himself and the green onion duck.
"No, I don't charge money because I have other things I want."
Luo Mu shook his head, his eyes first resting on the green onion duck, and then meeting Doyle's eyes in mid-air.
Doer looked at Luo Mu without knowing why. If he didn't want money, what would Luo Mu want?
Luo Mu didn't mean to be secretive and said bluntly: "For a box of apples, use some green onions and large rhizomes in exchange."
Doyle: Σ(д|||)
