Chapter 308 Mingyi: You didn't invite me to the party?
The next day, in the master bedroom.
"Baby, are you leaving for Xiamen Island today?"
Upon waking up early in the morning, Jia Deliya switched places with Shi Xintong, who was nestled in Li Luochen's arms, and then looked at Li Luochen and asked him a question.
"Haa... yeah, the tournament to promote to a gym is in about two days, so I have to go now, or I'll have to wait until next time."
Li Luochen opened his eyes, still feeling somewhat tired.
After struggling to get up, he and Gadriya exchanged glances and discussed some life philosophies before getting out of bed to change their clothes.
"Does that mean I won't see Master for the next few days?! I have so many things I want to report to Master! Master, I'll miss you..."
Fire Goose's sky has fallen.
Li Luochen has been going out a lot lately, and each time he goes out he doesn't come back for several days, so he spends very little time at the dojo with her.
This trip is going to be terrible!
I'm afraid it will be another week before I can see Li Luochen again!
"You can't bear to part with me? Then come with me, it's nothing serious."
Li Luochen put his arm around Huoyan's waist, responding to her expression of longing.
"Ah... Master, is it really convenient for me to come along? Doesn't the company need my help with a lot of things?"
Huoyan's main job is as a secretary, and she needs to help handle matters at Devon Corporation.
If I leave for a week, I'm afraid I'll have a lot of work to do when I come back.
Wouldn't I work myself to death?
"It's alright, James is here now, just let him handle things. If you really want to be with me, it doesn't matter if you put things aside, just enjoy yourself with me."
"Master, you're so kind..."
Hearing Li Luochen say this, Huo Yan buried her head in his chest, expressing her gratitude with her actions.
The other sisters heard this.
Then everyone started talking at once.
They all wanted to set off with Li Luochen.
However...
Li Luochen could actually only take a few people with him, and who wanted to come along would have to be decided by rock-paper-scissors.
As for Huoyan, since he had already promised her, he would definitely have to bring Huoyan along.
"Never mind, I won't go then."
Bilan felt it was good to stay in the gym. Anyway, she would be bullied if she went to Heron Island with Li Luochen, so she might as well rest in the gym.
"I'm not going either."
Gadriya, on the other hand, was thinking of replacing Li Luochen and temporarily serving as the acting head of the guild.
Besides, she and Li Luochen are practically an old married couple, so she should give up the opportunity to spend time with Li Luochen to the other girls in the dojo.
"Hmm... I'll just wait for you to come back at home, Luo Chen. Remember to bring me some local specialties~"
Katishia is very easygoing.
If my other sisters don't want to go, I can take their place.
"Then I'll go!"
Shi Xintong said that she hadn't gone out with Li Luochen in a long time and insisted on going herself.
"Since Sister Shi Xintong went, I want to go too!"
Ryukia also wanted to follow Li Luochen.
"Alright, in that case, Huoyan, Liuqia, and Shi Xintong, the three of you will come with me!"
Li Luochen finalized the selection.
Of course, Ash, Gary, and Lillie will also have to come with me.
After all, I promised the guardian that I could give them some guidance while they were under my nose.
Upon arriving in the living room, Li Luochen told everyone about the matter.
"Yay! Next stop, Heron Island! Pikachu, do you think we'll run into some powerful trainers?"
"Pikachu..." (Hard to say...)
Early in the morning, unlike the excited Ash, Pikachu was listless, clearly having not slept well.
Ash, seeing Pikachu's state, became worried: "Pikachu, what's wrong?"
"Pikachu..." (I'm so tired, if only I had some ketchup...)
In plain terms, that means Pikachu is hungry.
"I have a bowl of dumplings here, Pikachu, you can eat them first, you can dip them in ketchup."
There happened to be a bowl of dumplings on the table, so Li Luochen handed the dumplings over and also prepared a dish of ketchup for Pikachu.
"Dumplings with ketchup?"
Xiao Zhi thought he had misheard.
Who's so kind as to eat dumplings like ketchup?
Is this something for humans to eat?
Oh, it's for Pikachu to eat, then it's alright.
Just as Xiao Zhi was thinking this, he saw Li Luochen pick up a bowl of dumplings, dip them in ketchup, and put them directly into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face.
Ash and Gary: "???"
What kind of thunderous eating method is this?
In fact, people in Fuzhou eat dumplings with ketchup; they've been eating them this way since they were little, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Unfortunately, this seemed rather unusual to Ash, Gary, and Lillie.
"Why do we dip dumplings in ketchup...? Nebula, do you think it tastes good that way?"
"Mogu?"
Lillie held Cosmog, finding everything before her somewhat incomprehensible.
Eating dumplings with ketchup is no different from adding pineapple to pizza.
"Miss Lillie, everyone has different tastes, and what we need to do is respect that."
For the first time, an expression of embarrassment appeared on James's face. As a butler, he considered himself able to accept all of his employer's little quirks.
But that is, until he met Li Luochen.
He discovered that the world is full of wonders.
"Sigh, how come you guys don't understand how delicious it is with ketchup? Here, Charizard, let me give you one with ketchup to try."
In order to convince the younger members of the dojo.
Li Luochen called over all his Pokémon and fed them dumplings dipped in ketchup.
"Roar!"
"Agas!"
"Naga!"
"..."
The Pokémon ate the dumplings, and their faces showed the same satisfied expression as Li Luochen's.
"Are dumplings with ketchup really that delicious?"
Ash couldn't help but exclaim when he saw his Pikachu joining the ranks of those dipping dumplings in water.
"It's delicious! Xiaozhi, you should try it too. Look, fries can be dipped in ketchup, and burgers can have ketchup, so why can't dumplings?"
Li Luochen used Xiaozhi's favorite hamburger as an example.
Xiao Zhi thought so too.
He later joined the ranks of those making dumplings with dipping sauce.
"It seems...not bad? Xiao Mao, do you want to give it a try?"
The saying goes, "Good things should be shared with good brothers."
Xiao Zhi chose to share the dumplings with Xiao Mao.
"No, if Grandpa finds out that the Da Mu family eats dumplings with ketchup, he'll kill me."
Xiao Mao politely declined.
"It's okay, I'll tell your brother."
Li Luochen picked up his phone and sent a message to Qinglu.
[Yan Yan Yan: Green Brother, tell Professor Oak to let Gary have some dumplings with ketchup. I'll find some time later to have him observe Regigigas, okay?]
[Green: ...?]
[Green: How about I give you the research institute, and you release Shigeru?]
Li Luochen's plan backfired.
Having no other choice, Li Luochen quickly finished his meal after turning Xiaozhi to his side and prepared to leave Rongcheng for Xiamen Island.
I ran into Mingyi as soon as I stepped outside.
"Where are you going?"
……
Brothers, what do you dip your dumplings in?
This is real ketchup.
