As a trainer, he has the rain trait

An afternoon of fighting allowed Zuo Tingyun to confirm everyone's strength. When Zhilin and the others were having dinner, Zuo Tingyun sent a compressed package in the class group. When Zhilin and the others clicked it, they saw that it contained special training plans for everyone.

Zhilin spread his hands, "Hey~ this is called professionalism!"

Wu Zhao sighed, "As expected of a top university, the teachers are more professional than even our gym."

Yu Huan beside him raised an eyebrow and said, "Not all teachers are good! Our gym is not bad."

At this point, she suddenly lowered her voice and muttered to the others, "You know what? The Elf Department of Jingchu University has special titles for a small number of teachers."

Xu Wu suddenly became curious, "What? Tell me more."

"Hey, these are Shang Xia Zuo Zuo and Qi Ci Pai. Our teachers Su and Zuo are both in them."

Zhilin had a strange look on his face, "You are quite well-informed!" Because of his proximity to the university, he had already found out some information about Jingchu University before enrolling. He had heard about this.

Xu Wu tilted his head, "You know that too? I haven't heard you say that before?"

Zhilin nodded, "Up, down, left, and right. 'Up' is Shangguan Yan, a Flying-type master who loves the local Pokémon of each region. 'Down' is Wang Yong, who loves turtle-type Pokémon and is nicknamed 'Ba Xia'. 'Left' is our Zuo Tingyun. 'Right' is Yuzu, from the Kanto Alliance.

As for the seven ci tunes, they are Su Muzhe, Ru Meng Ling, Yu Ge Zi, Lin Jiang Xian, Qing Ping Le, Lang Tao Sha, and Yi Jian Mei. Only Su Muzhe is a name, while the others either contain a few characters from the ci tune, or their hobbies and personalities match the ci tune names.

Yu Huan praised: "As expected of a local, you know a lot."

Zhilin couldn't help but grumble, "This is quite famous, it's hard not to know about it. Originally, it was just a student's compilation, but Dean Mei, who plays 'Yi Jian Mei' in the Seven Songs, got wind of it and used it as a promotional tool. Why would an old man be so childish? Isn't this something for us young people to play with?"

"Dean Mei is quite cute!"

Zhilin rolled his eyes and said, "You'd better not let Dean Mei hear it."

Yu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, such a lovely old man will definitely not make things difficult for a child like me."

"He won't make things difficult for you, he will only make things difficult for me."

Yu Huan's face froze. He turned around and found that Su Muzhe had sat behind them at some point.

Yu Huan looked at a few people for help. Zhi Lin and the others said they were helpless. It was Wu Zhao who supported his girlfriend. "Although Huan is a bit talkative, he still knows his limits and won't say anything careless."

Yu Huan happily hugged Wu Zhao's arm and shook it, "Wu Zhao is still the best. None of you guys stood up for me."

Su Muzhe glanced at them and said, "It's okay for you two to show your affection in front of me, but don't do it in front of Teacher Zuo. Teacher Zuo is old and lonely. Be careful that he will make things difficult for you."

Yu Huan smacked his lips, "Teacher Zuo is so pitiful!"

This made the quiet Zhu Yu burst out laughing. Su Muzhe secretly noticed this scene and said nothing more, stating the purpose of his visit. "Alright, enough digression. I came to you to discuss the division of teams and dormitories."

Zhilin was puzzled. Aren’t the teams divided after the training camp?

Before he could even ask his question, Su Muzhe explained, "I've already learned about your situation from Teacher Zuo. I want to form two teams in advance to prepare for the early holding of the Young Phoenix Cup."

Zhilin frowned, "The Young Phoenix Cup is coming up early?"

"Yes, the news just now has been brought forward to the end of December. Because the Alliance Attribute Masters Tournament in February next year will be held in Donghuang, Donghuang has moved up the Young Phoenix Cup by a month."

"So, if we want to participate, we only have three months to prepare?"

Su Muzhe nodded, "So we can't waste any more time. I plan to divide you into two teams. Wu Zhao and Yu Huan will form a duo team, and then I will choose one from the others to make up for the weakness.

If the three of you form a team, Zhilin and Zhuyu can complement each other's weaknesses, and Xu Wu's Gastly is also a good assassin. What do you think, do you agree?"

Wu Zhao and Yu Huan looked at each other and said together, "We're fine!"

Zhilin saw Su Muzhe looking at him, "I can, look at them."

Xu Wu smiled and clenched his fists, "Then let them see our strength!"

Su Muzhe slapped him on the head in anger, "What are you yelling about? With your brain, it's hard for you to even make it to the top 64. Zhu Yu didn't even say anything!"

When Zhu Yu heard the teacher calling his name, he quickly responded, "I can do it!"

Su Muzhe nodded in satisfaction, "With your two help, this silly boy still has a chance of making it into the top 32."

Xu Wu was immediately dissatisfied, "How can I be that bad? I'm very strong."

Su Muzhe rolled his eyes. "You think you're so great just because you won a baby cup, right?"

"Isn't the Phoenix Cup also a baby cup?"

Su Muzhe sneered, "The Phoenix Cup has a quasi-god spirit in its final form appearing every year. Last year, there were more than ten. You call this the Baby Cup?"

Xu Wu exclaimed, "He's already that capable, how can he still be considered a newbie?"

Zhilin patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Quasi-god Pokémons are not invincible. Your Gastly evolving into Gengar is no worse than them!"

Xu Wu perked up after hearing this, "That's right!"

Su Muzhe hit him mercilessly, "Can you make Gastly evolve into Gengar in two months without wasting its potential?"

Zhilin sighed helplessly. As an older sister, she was so ruthless when it came to suppressing her younger brother!

Xu Wu wanted to say something else, but when he saw Su Muzhe's clenched fists, he wisely shut his mouth.

On the afternoon of the third day of training, Zuo Tingyun must have discussed it with Su Muzhe, and gave the five of them and another team of three who had also formed a team in advance a hard training, and then told them that they didn't need to come to the next four days of training, as they were exempted.

However, this also made others cry out that it was unfair, so Zuo Tingyun asked them to challenge Zhilin and his eight companions, and the winners would also be exempted from training. Facts proved that Teacher Su's vision was still very accurate. No one could beat them, and even the seemingly weak Zhu Yu achieved outstanding results.

Also, it is worth mentioning that after Tong Yue failed in challenging Zhilin, he also failed in challenging Zhuyu, and he skipped training in anger. Later, it was heard that he beat and scolded his own Zubat, and was attacked by his own Pokémon. It was said that the school was planning to persuade him to drop out, which provided Zhilin and others with a lot of talking points.

Zhilin and Xu Wu lived happily in the spacious villa. Although they left the attic with the best environment and the largest space to Zhu Yu, they were also very satisfied with the other two rooms.

The delighted Zhilin immediately asked Zhu Yu to go to the supermarket at the school gate to buy some kitchen supplies, so that he could save his stomach for a big dinner in the evening; he took Xu Wu to the vegetable market to do some shopping. Tonight he wanted to show off his cooking skills and let his two new teammates see what top-notch cooking skills were.

Vegetable market

Zhilin carefully selected the bamboo shoots on the stall. It was autumn now, and the bamboo shoots were not as plentiful as in spring and summer, nor were they as tender. He had to be more careful in selecting them. He was just a pretty good cook, not a cooking god, and could not turn decayed things into magic. If the ingredients were not good enough, he would be unable to make anything delicious.

After picking for a while, when Xu Wu was about to urge him to buy more, Zhilin finally found two bamboo shoots that were fresh enough. After buying the bamboo shoots, he took Xu Wu to the fishmonger's stall and looked around.

The fishmonger recognized Zhilin and said, "Xiaolin, you're here to buy groceries again today. What kind of fish do you want today?"

Zhilin didn't find his target and asked, "Uncle Cai, are there no bighead carp today?"

"Puffhead fish! You want to make chopped pepper fish head!"

"Yes! Show off your skills to your college classmates."

Uncle Cai laughed, "Your classmate is in luck. I don't have any bighead carp today, but don't worry, I'll ask Lao Zhao to get one later. You can come back in half an hour."

"Thank you, Uncle Cai. Oh, and I'll also like two small crucian carps to make some crucian carp and tofu soup."

Uncle Cai waved his hand. "What are you thanking me for? You've been buying fish from me for years. I can still help you with this little favor."

"Okay, I'll come get it later."

"it is good!"

Zhilin took Xu Wu to buy some tofu and seasonings, put the things he bought on his electric scooter, and when he was about to take Xu Wu back home to get chopped peppers, he caught a glimpse of an acquaintance out of the corner of his eye.

He used his eyes to signal Xu Wu to look over there, "Do you think he looks like that guy named Tong Yue?"

Xu Wu turned his head and took a closer look. "It's not a resemblance, it's definitely him!"

"What is he doing so furtively?"

"Let's go and take a look?"

"go!"

The two of them followed Tong Yue's sneaky behavior.

They followed Tong Yue all the way to an empty back alley next to the vegetable market and found someone waiting for Tong Yue in the alley. The two looked at each other and hid behind a car at the same time, eavesdropping on the conversation between Tong Yue and the man.

"I heard you can make Pokémon completely obey the trainer's orders?"

"Yes! We can use specialized equipment to control Pokémon. Even the most unruly Pokémon can be turned into puppets and manipulated with ease."

"Alright! I have a disobedient Zubat that dared to attack me. If you fix it for me, I'll give you double the money. But be careful not to let anyone else know I found you!"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything about this illegal activity."

"That's good. Here's the Poké Ball. Make sure it's ready for me tomorrow morning at ten o'clock! Otherwise, I won't let you off easily!"

Tong Yue turned and left. The man snorted coldly, "It's a big deal that your family has a little money, but with this kind of character, it's no wonder you can't train Pokémon."

He weighed the Poké Ball in his hand and said, "It's a Shiny Pokémon. It's a pity that the information is bound to it. Otherwise, I could just run away and make a lot of money!" After sighing, the man turned and left.

After hearing the entire conversation between the two, Zhilin and Xu Wu looked at each other in shock, "Illegal transaction!"

Xu Wu expressed strong dissatisfaction with Tong Yue's behavior. "Tong Yue is not a good person! He actually wants to use this method to control the Pokémon. I can't let him succeed. Let's go and get Zubat back!"

Zhilin quickly stopped the impulsive Xu Wu, "What's wrong with your brain? Let's not even talk about whether we can beat that guy. Even if we do get it, we'll return it to Tong Yue!"

"What?"

"Didn't you hear what that person said? Tong Yue bound information to Zubat. This rare Pokémon has data and information recorded by the League and the Association. Whether it's a Pokémon Store, a Breeding House, a Training Gym, or a Pokémon Hospital, all official places related to Pokémon will check the information. We can't keep it ourselves. It's illegal!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Go back to school and tell the teachers first!"

"it is good!"

Zhilin hurriedly took the fish and took Xu Wu back to school.

After searching for a while but not finding Su Muzhe, he thought that the training was over and Teacher Zuo should be in the office, so he ran to the office building without stopping.

Zuo Tingyun was indeed in the office. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw two people rushing into his office carrying two bags of vegetables.

"Why are you bringing food to my place? Are you treating me to a meal? Are your cooking skills any good?"

Zhilin did not answer Zuo Tingyun's three questions, and together with Xu Wu, told what they had seen and heard!

After hearing this, Zuo Tingyun had already restrained his smile and frowned.

"Are you sure? This is a serious matter. Saying anything wrong could be considered framing a classmate!"

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Xu Wu swore hastily, "I'm sure. If I say anything wrong, I'll be struck by lightning!" Zuo Tingyun turned his gaze to Zhilin again. Seeing Zhilin nod as well, he sighed, "I understand. I'll contact the school and the police to handle this matter. You guys go back first!"

"Then teacher, we will take you to their trading place tomorrow."

Zuo Tingyun rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, we can find it! You want to go, right? Meet me at 8:30 tomorrow morning!"

“Thank you, Teacher Zuo!”

"Get out of here! It's almost dinner time! Why don't you go eat?"

Zhilin then remembered that Zhu Yu was still waiting for them in the dormitory, and quickly pulled Xu Wu back to the dormitory.

When they returned to the dormitory, they found Zhu Yu had moved a chair and was sitting at the door waiting for them.

Seeing the two people sweating profusely, Zhu Yu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where have you been? Why are you back so late?"

Zhilin took a breath, "You haven't eaten yet! I'll go get some food first, you ask Xu Wu!"

Zhu Yu nodded and said, "I've already cooked the meal, go ahead and stir-fry!"

"it is good!"

Fish head with chopped pepper is one of the most famous dishes in Hunan cuisine.

Hunan cuisine is meticulously crafted, using a wide range of ingredients, offering a wide variety of flavors. Its rich, oily color emphasizes affordability, while its flavors emphasize spicy, fragrant, fresh, and tender textures. Its cooking methods include simmering, stewing, curing, steaming, and stir-frying. Chopped pepper fish head perfectly embodies these characteristics of Hunan cuisine.

The part of the fish head that is eaten is naturally the fish head, which tastes fresh and spicy. The fiery red chopped pepper and the snow-white fish head meat form the "color"; the pickled pepper is salty and "fragrant"; as for the taste, it is a feast for the taste buds.

The soul of chopped pepper fish head lies in the chopped pepper. Locals mostly call it chopped pepper. The most common chopped pepper is mainly made with red bell pepper, ginger, garlic, salt and water. It is spicy and salty, with a strong taste. Most of them are made at home and digested by themselves.

Interestingly, most people in Hunan Province think that homemade chopped chili peppers are more flavorful.

Zhilin thought so too, so he asked the errand boy to get a jar of chopped chili peppers from his grandfather.

As for the other protagonist: fish, there are also requirements. The most suitable one is the fathead fish mentioned by Uncle Cai, also known as silver carp. Silver carp has a large and thick head, which accounts for a higher proportion of the head than other fish and has more gelatin, so it becomes the first choice for chopped pepper fish head.

Uncle Cai had already cleaned the silver carp's head. The head was cut open, and the black film and teeth were removed. Zhilin didn't need to process it any further.

He placed the fish head on a plate, sprinkled a handful of salt on it, rubbed it evenly so that it could absorb the flavor, and then added green onions, ginger, and cooking wine to marinate it to remove the fishy smell. While the marinating process was going on, he began to process other ingredients.

Cook the noodles and put them in cold water for later use. Wash and mince the pepper and garlic. Put the pepper into the pot, add fermented black beans and minced ginger, stir-fry, and finally add the minced garlic and cooking wine.

At this time, the fish head is almost marinated. Brush the plate with oil, place the cleaned fish head on it, spread the fried chopped pepper all over the fish head, put it in a steamer and steam it, and finally pour hot oil on it, and it's done.

Zhilin skillfully stir-fried some bamboo shoots, served the crucian carp and tofu soup that had been stewed long ago, and then invited Xu Wu and Zhu Yu to start eating.
