Chapter 169 Persistence and Hard Work

Seeing that Papa didn't quite understand, Luo Mu patted him on the shoulder and explained to him how to link Pokémon's enthusiasm with positive feedback, and how to make Pokémon integrate training into daily life through a positive feedback system, and other taboo PUA secrets.

This method may seem crude, but it is very suitable for Pokémon that love to eat, such as Squirrel. There is even a case where a Snorlax trainer successfully made Snorlax lose weight through this training method.

Luo Mu felt that this method could be used to gradually cultivate the greedy chinchilla's interest in training, or at least make it less resistant.

Leaving Papa alone with her notebook full of words thinking, Luo Mu came to the tidy desk and recalled the rules of the competition that Miss Feng mentioned when he signed up.

First, the competition adopts a scoring system, with only one round, and ranking is based on scores.

Secondly, the materials for the competition are prepared by the contestants themselves, and preparing appropriate ingredients is also a compulsory course for a qualified pastry chef.

Thirdly, desserts will be made on-site at a temporary venue set up next to Shulei Mousse, and ready-made desserts will not be allowed to participate in the competition.

Luo Mu felt that the rules of the competition were very favorable to him simply because he could prepare the materials by himself.

but
Luo Mu glanced at the old man's sitting baby bear without leaving a trace, knowing that no matter how good the materials were, at least he had to make a baby bear that would satisfy him.

Although there are channels to obtain the candy decorations needed for Xiaoxiannai's evolution in places such as the Battle Cafe, Luo Mu feels that the candy decorations he obtained through cooperation with Xiaoxiannai are more extraordinary.

Anyway, there is a way out, and this competition is more like an opportunity for him to learn how to make Baofen.

Luo Mu rolled up his sleeves and started making it with the encouragement from Xiaoxiannai!
The process of learning to make it is always boring and tedious. Problems with the heat, the ratio of materials, or the unreasonable baking time will make the finished product of Baofen be completely rejected by Bear Baby.

The recipe for the first batch of Baofen was completely different from Miss Afeng's, and the ingredients were easier to cook than Miss Afeng's special maple syrup Baofen. Luo Mu had problems controlling the heat, and the finished product was a few black lumps of Baofen that could not be seen in their original appearance.

The baby bear just sniffed it and asked Luo Mu to take it away with a look of disgust, as if Luo Mu was going to poison it.

Luo Mu, who had been naughty for a while, was not discouraged. Under the horrified gaze of the baby bear, he calmly ate the failed product, which had no major problems in taste although its appearance and texture were not so good.

Just kidding, Luo Mu, who cherishes food, said that when he first came here, he was struggling to make ends meet and he had even eaten things worse than this, so what is this?
The so-called cooking is a process of constant trial and error. Luo Mu constantly improves the taste and cooking time based on the cooking book left by Miss A Feng, striving to make the kind of Baofen he wants.

If you want to beat other contestants, you have to make a more unique Bofen.

One day passed quietly like this. At night, before Luo Mu rode Dragonite to leave Yuanmo Town, he asked Papa, "Don't you need to go back to the Lighthouse Research Institute?"

Piper shook her head. "I'm currently living in the Pokémon Center. I'm still training for spring break."

Luo Mu didn't force it and rode Dragonite back to the farm outside Pingdie Town.

The next day, early in the morning, Luo Mu returned to the kitchen in Yuanmo Town with the key and continued Baofen's practice.

The baby bear and Papa who were brought over by him both looked sleepy. When Papa, who was dozing off against the wall, finally woke up, it was time for Miss Feng to come to visit.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Feng smelled a fresh aroma. Different from her special maple syrup Baofen, this smell was more refreshing.

Because of the fragrance, A Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

She just happened to see that although there was disgust on her face, her hands were eager to take Baofen's teddy bear from Luo Mu, which surprised Ah Feng a little.

The baby bear is very picky about taste, and like other baby bears, it prefers sweet food. The fact that it can accept this slightly sweet dessert means that Luo Mu has been able to make a qualified Baofen. And only a day and a half has passed.

Papa yawned and said lazily, "Brother Luo Mu has not left the kitchen during this period, constantly testing and adjusting."

"Today too, they woke me up from my bed at the Pokémon Center early in the morning."

Ah Feng was silent for a long time.

Perhaps, she knew how Luo Mu became the champion-level trainer that Padia was proud of in just one year.

Persistence and hard work are always the only way to become stronger.

Not to mention that Luo Mu's talent in the way of a trainer had already amazed Afeng.

Feng still remembers the Lucky Cat that defeated her three bug Pokémon in a row.

Noticing that Ah Feng was here, Luo Mu handed over a piece of green Baofen and said with a smile, "Miss Ah Feng, how about the taste of mint Baofen?"

"Mint Baofen?" Ah Feng took the Baofen, put it in his mouth to taste it, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Noticing Ah Feng's strangeness, Luo Mu made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Ah Feng, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to bring them up."

Ah Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you trying to improve the judges' impression of your Baofen by using different flavors?"

Luo Mu nodded: "This is one of the plans. If the development of new flavors of Baofen is not in time, I plan to do this."

"After eating some sweet food, I think the judges will need to relieve the greasiness. The refreshing mint flavor is undoubtedly an excellent choice."

Ah Feng shook his head and said, "There will be other contestants who think the same as you do. The judges this time are all gourmets who have a persistent pursuit of desserts. If you want to stand out, I personally suggest that you still have your own characteristics."

“Features.”

Luo Mu was unusually silent. Both Haidai and Meow Meow mentioned that he was more technical than spiritual when it came to cooking.

So, what are his characteristics?

Luo Mu thought of everyone on the farm, maybe
Seeing Luo Mu lost in thought, A Feng knew that this was the only thing he couldn't do anything about, so he could only provide some support to Luo Mu on the taste and process of Baofen.

Just like that, time flies by.

After three days of training, the dessert competition jointly organized by the Padia Dessert Association and the Sinnoh Dessert Association began.

The location is located under the canopy of sugar maple trees outside Paisley Mousse. The temporary kitchen is already ready, and gas, electricity and water have been connected.

Luo Mu, with the little fairy milk on his head, took the materials he had prepared and walked towards the competition venue.
