Dinner is approaching, although Gu Zheng's Qidian has not received a single business, but the discussion of Qidian on the Internet is very hot. It's a pity that the people who will discuss this kind of thing are often people who dare not gamble, or who do not have the strength to gamble.

There is such a strange restaurant as Qidian in the city, and the power of immortal cultivators is naturally very quick to learn.

Immortal cultivators are different from mortals, and the strange shop bulletin board that mortals see is just an ordinary bulletin board! But the font displayed on the strange shop bulletin board that immortal cultivators see is specially for immortal cultivators. Therefore, the immortal cultivator knew that the so-called strange shop was an unusual immortal kitchen shop! In order to complete a certain task, the shopkeeper was also willing to do business with the immortal cultivator, but the reward and compensation were exchanged for resources of higher value.

There were also two immortal cultivators, who entered the No. 1 Qi Store and the No. 2 Qi Store respectively, and also made some inquiries about Gu Zheng. However, they did not say whether they would like to try it or not. As for the conversation with them, Gu Zheng also made a video, but it will not be shown to ordinary people, but only to the immortal cultivators who come to the door to inquire again, so as to save some trouble of explanation.

"Master, do you think that kid won't come?"

Seeing that it was getting late, and the young man who was most likely to be the first customer of Qidian had not yet appeared, Dieling couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Maybe you sensed that you wanted to clean him up, so you were too scared to come!"

Gu Zheng knew that it was useless to be in a hurry, so he joked with Die Ling.

The tension on Butterfly Ling's face disappeared, and he stuck out his tongue mischievously at Gu Zheng.

However, it didn't make Gu Zheng and Die Ling wait any longer, and the young man finally reappeared.

"Let's see if the ingredients can be used. ”

The young man placed a bag on the table and poured out the contents.

"It took you a lot of time to collect these things, didn't it?"

Gu Zheng looked at the things that the young man took out, and suddenly became a little happy.

"It's okay!"

The young man raised his eyebrows proudly at Gu Zheng.

In the young man's opinion, these things he carefully prepared, even if some of them were abandoned by Gu Zheng, they could still frustrate Gu Zheng's arrogance and let him know the price of bragging.

I have to say that these things brought by the young man are of some level, and if the average chef sees these things, he will definitely have no idea how to make them into delicious food! However, for Gu Zheng, these things brought by the young man are really a bit too pediatric.

A preserved egg with a shell, two wilted green onions, a sprouted garlic, a piece of pickled ginger, a little moldy peppercorns, two red peppers with wormholes, a handful of coarse salt, a piece of lard, and a piece of brown sugar that has curdled and hardened.

"Although the bulletin board outside your store says that the number of ingredients can be more than one, since it depends on the situation, I will only take one type of ingredients. As for the excipients, do you see if there is anything that needs to be removed?"

The young man was very proud, preserved eggs were a food he hated very much, and the smell of lime in them, as long as he smelled it, he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach! Such an ingredient, he really didn't believe that Gu Zheng could make it into something that made him feel very delicious when he ate it! As for those accessories, even if Gu Zheng discarded them all, the young man didn't care at all, he just needed the ecstasy taste of preserved eggs!

The ingredients provided by the young man were naturally seen by the gluttonous jade carvings in the restaurant, and the message it conveyed to Gu Zheng was no problem.

"No, as long as there is no serious conflict with the ingredients provided by the customer, I will not give up anything, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything unscrupulous in order to win!"

Gu Zhengchong smiled slightly, as early as when he saw these ingredients, the cooking method had already appeared in his heart, so he smiled easily.

"Huh. ”

The young man shrugged, sadness flashing in his eyes.

"One more thing, you said that if a customer decides that they want you to cook, they have to swear, then I also need you to swear that you don't cheat when you cook these ingredients!" said the young man.

"Yes!" Gu Zheng nodded and smiled.

The young man thought for a while and said, "Is it really my satisfaction with the evaluation of the taste of the ingredients?"

"As long as you swear not to go against your will, then naturally you have the final say!" Gu Zheng.

"Okay, I'll let you cook these things, let's start swearing, shall we?" said the young man.

"Please!"

Gu Zheng made a gesture of invitation to the young man.

The young man didn't ask anything more, he swore a poisonous oath when he came to the gluttonous jade carving, and Gu Zheng also swore according to the book.

In fact, for Gu Zheng, such a thing as cheating does not exist on his side, if he cheats against the rules, the machine spirit will not agree to it first. As for what the young man defines as cheating, he doesn't need to know, he just needs to do it according to his heart.

As for the young man's oath, it is actually not a matter of much significance, there is a gluttonous statue, and the young man can't say anything against his will. And the reason why he wanted to emphasize this on the bulletin board was that Gu Zheng only wanted to be able to win the trust of people to the greatest extent.

"I'll put the compensation here for the time being, and if I don't do well, it's all yours. Gu Zheng pointed to the box in front of the gluttonous statue.

"If you can convince me, 100,000 yuan is nothing. ”

The young man put his money up as well.

Without saying anything more, Gu Zheng headed to the kitchen.

There are no private rooms in the shop, and the young men sit in the so-called hall. As for the kitchen, it is not in the sight of the customer, it is a space in the hall separated by glass.

"Master, what is the grade of the ingredients of these things?"

Although Die Ling was not in the kitchen, this did not delay her from communicating with Gu Zheng with her heart.

"Preserved eggs with too much alkaline and moldy peppercorns, these two things are considered poisonous-level ingredients. Some spoiled green onions and sprouted garlic are considered junk ingredients. Although red pepper has wormholes, it is not bad in nature, and it can barely be regarded as a low-grade ingredient along with unsoaked pickled ginger and brown sugar that has congealed into lumps. As for coarse salt and lard, they can be regarded as low-grade ingredients. "Gu Zhengdao.

"Master, if such an ingredient is cooked by ordinary fairy chefs, can they make it delicious?" Butterfly Ling asked again.

"Your sister divides the delicacy into ten, and the average person's taste buds realize that seven is the limit, and Lord Gluttony requires me to reach eight. According to such a standard, among the three grades of immortal kitchens, only a very small number of first-grade immortal kitchens can do this! After all, these provided by the young man are all sub-grade ingredients, and some of the accessories are not more than the main ingredients! In this case, if you want to turn decay into magic, you must have enough understanding of the ingredients, and be able to really control the change in taste after their collision, which is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. "Gu Zhengdao.

"It's hard to imagine how weird it tastes when they're cooked together, and what kind of weirdness it turns into a commendable delicacy?"

"What I just said is relatively shallow, if you say it deeply, if you want to complete this business perfectly, the most difficult thing is not actually the change of taste!" Gu Zheng smiled.

"Isn't the taste change the hardest, so what's the hardest?" Butterfly Spirit's eyes widened.

"It varies from person to person!" said the ancient controversy.

"It varies from person to person?" Butterfly Ling's eyes were puzzled.

"This young man looks flamboyant, but in fact, his mind is quite meticulous, and among the ingredients he provides, he is allergic to preserved eggs!

"Huh?"

Butterfly Ling glanced at the silent young man, and suddenly felt that this guy was extremely treacherous.

"How did the master know that this kid was allergic to preserved eggs?" asked Butterfly Spirit.

"Because I have the Eye of the Dao! And this business is done with mortals, not with immortal cultivators, so naturally I have to consider the food I make, and whether it is suitable for his mortal physique! So I went to see him with the Eye of the Dao, and it turned out that preserved eggs would make him allergic. "Gu Zhengdao.

"Master, how do you solve this problem?" asked Butterfly Spirit.

"As long as I know it, it's easy to solve, and I'll just remove the ingredients that will make him allergic to the preserved eggs when the time comes. "Gu Zhengdao.

"By the way, master, will you improve the quality of the ingredients?" Butterfly Ling asked again.

"I will not use the power of the Tao to directly improve the grade of the ingredients, but will only process the ingredients as much as possible. If I use the power of the Tao to directly improve the grade of the ingredients, then it is considered cheating! Because this is a test of cooking skills, and directly using the power of the Tao to improve the grade of ingredients is not considered a part of the cooking skills. ”

Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "However, this is only for ordinary people! If the customer is an immortal cultivator, because their taste buds can experience the level of eight, or even nine, the gluttonous statue requires me to achieve the standard of nine or above, so when facing the ingredients provided by the immortal cultivator, I can raise the grade of the ingredients to a higher level!"

Although Gu Zheng communicated a lot with Die Ling, it didn't take much time, and Gu Zheng also began to process the ingredients preliminarily.

Remove the seeds and moths of the red peppers, wash them and set them aside.

The moldy peppercorns, Gu Zheng put them in clean water, and when he reached out to stir them, he used the water control trick to quickly clean up the mold on them.

"These peppercorns are very mildewy, otherwise the gluttonous statue will tell you that this kind of thing can't be used as an ingredient. "Instrument Spirit Dao.

"I understand that it is this kind of ingredient that is on the verge of being bad or not, which can test my control over the ingredient. "Gu Zhengdao.

Some spoiled green onions, Gu Zheng only took the part that did not deteriorate, but just as Gu Zheng was about to wash them, the young man spoke.

"You remove all the bad parts, and as long as the good parts, this ......"

The young man couldn't go on talking, he felt that he should question it, but he felt that he shouldn't question it, so it was a bit contradictory.

"I don't have a lot of parts that I have removed, if you put them in your own home, you probably won't eat the whole green onion, right?" Although I am very confident in my cooking skills, but the part that has deteriorated to the point that it is no longer an ingredient, I will definitely not cook it for you to eat! Just like the preserved egg you gave me, the lime and sawdust on the surface are not edible things, I can't cook it for you with the shell just because you provided the ingredients, right?"

"Well, when I didn't say it. The young man rolled his eyes.

The sprouted garlic Gu Zheng did not deal with it much, but after removing the garlic skin, it was temporarily soaked in clean water. After peeling and washing, the preserved eggs are also placed in clean water. Soaked ginger slices and put them in the same amount of water.

As for the lumps of brown sugar, Gu Zheng put it in a pot and boiled it.

After the lard was simply cleaned and the coarse salt was salted, Gu Zheng separated the parts that would affect the taste with the water control trick.

The ingredients have all gone through the preliminary treatment, and when they are further processed by the ancient controversy, the grade of the ingredients will almost always change. Of course, this can't be considered cheating, because removing the turnip is part of cooking.

"I suddenly have a question!" the young man spoke again.

"You say. "Gu Zhengdao.

"The water you use to process the ingredients won't have anything in there, right?"

The young man found that when Gu Zheng processed the ingredients, he used neither mineral water nor tap water, and all the water he used was scooped out of the water tank in the kitchen.

"Don't worry, this water is tap water, but I left it outside last night and absorbed some moonlight essence and immortal yuan. ”

Gu Zheng didn't lie about this, ordinary tap water naturally can't be used! After all, the ecological environment of Fenglan Star is similar to that on Earth. However, Gu Zheng did not directly use the way of improving ingredients to improve the quality of tap water, he used the means of purifying the water quality of ordinary immortal kitchens, and by absorbing moonlight essence and immortal yuan, the original low-quality tap water reached the ordinary level.

"How long does it take you to cook a dish?" I didn't ask you the time, do you want to cook it for a day?" said the young man.

"It's not so exaggerated! The ingredients are special, and it is naturally troublesome to handle, but no matter how time-consuming it is, it will definitely not take more than half an hour from the processing of the ingredients to the serving. ”

It won't take more than half an hour to hear Gu Zheng, and the young man won't say anything anymore.

There was not much brown sugar, but it was simply made into syrup by the ancient controversy.

Because the kitchen is relatively closed, young people can't smell it, and the sweet smell peculiar to brown sugar, which is not a good smell, has completely disappeared at this time!

"Yes, by boiling, the original poor quality brown sugar has been turned into the current syrup, I have to say to you!"

"Using the conventional methods of the fairy kitchen, coupled with my Dao Eye, as well as the control of the heat, the understanding of the ingredients, etc., the original low-quality brown sugar was transformed into ordinary-quality syrup. But if I use the power of the Tao to improve the quality of the ingredients, and these brown sugars that are condensed into lumps, I can improve them to excellent quality!"

"Without using the power of the Dao, the original low-quality brown sugar was transformed into ordinary-quality syrup, which is really very powerful! "Instrument Spirit Dao.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The young man's phone rang suddenly.

"As we said before, you can't spread the word about your cooking process!, but, in my understanding, you don't allow me to record a video and spread it, right?"

The young man did not answer the phone directly, but looked at Gu Zhengdao.

"That's right. ”

Gu Zheng really meant that, he didn't want ordinary people to know that he was an immortal chef, so he didn't want customers to shoot videos.

"It was a chef friend of mine who called me, and he was curious about my visit to the restaurant, so he called me to ask me how you cook your food. I want to tell him how you cook the food, it's a completely different thing than the video, would you object to me doing that?"

Although the young man is arrogant, he is also more cautious, and he doesn't want to become a rhetoric for Gu Zheng to repay his debts when he is in debt.

"Yes. ”

Gu Zheng smiled faintly and continued to process his ingredients.

Just like Die Ling said before, even if Gu Zheng had the intention to conceal it, his identity as an immortal cultivator would still be guessed after all, and he would be recognized by more and more mortals! After all, it was impossible for him to spend time to keep everyone from talking about Qidian, and it was impossible to erase everyone's memories of Qidian. Then, there is no need to recognize some things too seriously.

Gu Zheng agreed happily, but the young man was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Zheng to be so simple! In this case, isn't it all one party trying to fight for benefits, and the other party trying not to give benefits?

Unable to see through Gu Zheng, the young man simply didn't think about it, and he answered the phone call from a friend.

In the face of a friend's inquiry, the young man is almost like doing a live broadcast.

"The shopkeeper had boiled the brown sugar into a syrup, then took the preserved eggs out of the water and fried them in lard, which would have been frying peppercorns, chili peppers, and garlic cloves. ”

The young man reported on the progress of the ancient dispute, and then asked his friend: "Normally, preserved eggs are either cold or made into porridge, and among the accessories I gave, brown sugar, lard, and pickled ginger, this should not go well with preserved eggs, right?

"With these things in common sense, you naturally can't make delicious food! However, since people dare to open a store, they naturally have to rely on it, and he doesn't let the video out, isn't it just afraid that people will see where the cat is tired? So don't be too optimistic about winning!"

The young man's conversation with his friend, though quiet, reached Gu Zheng's ears.

"Hmph, unless he really has the ability, if he dares to play any tricks, I promise that his shop will not be able to open!" said the young man.

"What if someone is an immortal cultivator?" said the young friend.

"Don't be funny! If it's really an immortal cultivator, then I'm relieved! At least I don't have to think about whether he's doing this to cheat money!" the young man said.

"Even if you're not an immortal cultivator, I think this person is also a cultivator, and the ingredients you give you will definitely not be able to make them delicious!" said the young man's friend.

"Dude, he actually put the green onions, ginger, and preserved eggs, along with salt, lard, and syrup, all in a pot of cold water, and lit a fire!

"I can't see that I'm really in a hurry! Forget it, I won't tell you, you can tell me the result directly! It's not waiting, it's after you know, call me as soon as you know!"

The young man's friend hung up the phone, although he did not participate in the gambling, but as a chef, he naturally has a great interest in things that exceed common sense in terms of food.
