"Congratulations to the heirs of the immortals, the taste of Shaw's bucket chicken is higher than that of Ma's bucket chicken, this test is all completed!"

The voice of the machine spirit suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's heart, the bucket chicken made by the Shao family with Lu Cai chicken really tasted better than the Ma family's bucket chicken, which really surprised Gu Zheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is equivalent to saying that on this trip, Gu Zheng found two better traditional folk snacks and directly completed the test.

This time, I thought it was a test that was not easy to complete, but it was completed, which really surprised Gu Zheng, and now that I look at it, this test is not difficult, and this test has also brought great benefits to Gu Zheng.

Not to mention the reward, there will definitely be a rich reward for completing the test, this time alone is a great harvest for the Wang family's roast chicken, and the store will add one more food source, and you can get greater profits in the future, and Gu Zheng can earn more money.

In fact, his annual income now exceeds that of his father, but no one will have too much money, and it is better to have more, at least he will no longer have to worry about money in the future.

"Master Gu, how does this bucket of chicken taste?"

Boss He smelled Gu Zheng with a smile, Chang Feng's work efficiency is extremely fast, the money has been received, and now Boss He is very happy.

"The taste is really good, Master Shao, can I discuss something with you!"

The taste of the bucket chicken is really good, especially the pepper they put in it, and the Shao family is not an ordinary pepper, it is a high-grade fairy hemp from Sichuan Province, which is a very good ingredient, and the price is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary pepper.

Shao's bucket chicken is also very famous, even if it is not made by Lu Caiji, there are many people who seek after, Licheng is the hometown of longevity, Shao's bucket chicken is a local specialty of Licheng, the reason why they have such a good reputation, is because they add this fairy hemp.

The machine spirit has probed, and the pepper used in the bucket chicken is actually inferior.

This is equivalent to saying that the bucket chicken uses several inferior ingredients, no wonder it can surpass the taste of Majia bucket chicken, but unfortunately the cost of this Lu Cai chicken is too high, so that the cost of bucket chicken has also increased a lot, so that many people would rather buy a cheap bucket chicken with a poor taste than buy such an expensive one.

The Shao family is not as insistent as the Wang family, and only sells roast chicken made by Lu Caiji.

"Master Gu, please speak!"

Knowing that Gu Zheng had placed a big order for the farm, Master Shao also seemed very respectful, and Gu Zheng said to them again what he had said to Xiang Ming's father and son before.

This bucket of chicken tastes great, no worse than roast chicken, you can also enter his shop, and the bucket chicken made by the Shao family, he has also booked it, not only for the present, but also for the future.

Like Xiang Ming's side, Gu Zheng ordered five hundred.

500 bucket chickens, 500 roast chickens, their store can completely digest them, if the bucket chicken and roast chicken can't be sold, they can not be restricted for dine-in, packaging and take-out are allowed, in terms of the taste of these two delicacies, as long as more people can buy it, there is no worry about selling at all.

And Gu Zheng can also give them some suggestions to make these two cuisines better and attract more people.

Increasing 500 is equivalent to reaching 1,000 per day in the future, which is not a small number, and the time for Lu Cai chickens to be released is very long, it takes five months, about one hundred and fifty days.

According to 150 days, an average of 1,000 animals will be released every day, which means that in the future, the number of cages in the farm should be maintained at more than 150,000.

150,000 animals, which is more than ten times the amount he is raising now, is equivalent to the expansion of his farm by ten times at once.

Fortunately, this expansion is not a one-time time, and the expansion of the farm is not completed in a short period of time, after increasing the order again, Boss He has considered that the factory is divided into two parts, one is him here, and the other is built in Mangdang Mountain.

Lu Cai chickens, can't be in the cage all the time, they must be divided into areas, they have to come out and walk around every day, and the amount of breeding per acre of land is only a hundred.

150,000 animals, just in the place, you need 1,500 acres, can only be mountainous, not arable land, his place can only accommodate 70,000 or 80,000 at most, no more, the establishment of a branch factory is inevitable.

There were more orders, and Gu Zheng gave them an extra deposit of three million.

Boss He has no money, it is impossible to expand, in order to let them take out more Lu Cai Chicken as soon as possible, this money is all from Gu Zheng, a total of six million, Gu Zheng and Chang Feng out, once the number of Lu Cai Chicken increases, it will not take long for them to earn this money back.

Not only them, but also Boss He, Xiang Ming, and Master Shao will all make money, killing multiple birds with one stone.

When he came, Gu Zheng who went to pick up Xiang Ming, when he went back, several cars sent him away, Gu Zheng sighed very much, he was already very content to be able to complete one-third of the test this time, but he didn't expect to complete the last one-third and completely complete the test.

After the test was completed, two good ingredients were added to the store, and Gu Zheng was in a very happy mood.

"Descendant of the Immortals, congratulations on completing the Immortal Trigger Test, the rewards this time are as follows!"

Back in Shencheng, Gu Zheng couldn't wait to ask for this reward, this is a test set by Lord Glutony, the last time he cured Liang Lao's anorexia was a test set by Lord Tyranny himself, and the reward was very rich.

After this completion, the rewards will not be much worse.

"Reward, one Huo Yuan Dan!"

In the desolate space, a small fiery red bright spot fell into Gu Zheng's palm, which was a red elixir about the size of a glass ball, and there was still a flame burning in the elixir.

"Huo Yuan Pill, a medium-level elixir in the immortal realm, can enhance the cohesion of the fire element, and it is of great help to the fire control technique!"

The machine spirit explained to Gu Zheng that this is an elixir that can directly enhance the fire attribute, especially for those who have cultivated the fire attribute exercises, this kind of elixir is much more effective than the Xianyuan Pill for them.

Gu Zheng's cultivation is the Immortal Immortal Technique, and there are no special attributes, but each attribute is there, and Huo Yuan Dan can also enhance him.

Especially after taking Huo Yuan Dan, his ability to control fire has improved, and it is also of great help to his cooking skills.

"Reward, there are three ways to eat and cultivate!"

This time, the reward appeared again in food cultivation, and the Lord of the Immortals would learn a thousand kinds of food cultivation methods, Gu Zheng had learned three before, and now three more have been added, which is equivalent to learning six kinds.

Compared with the thousands of food cultivation methods created by the Immortals, Gu Zheng was still far behind, but after all, he had just cultivated for a short time, and he was already very satisfied with this.

"Reward, increase the types of ingredients in the desolate space by two!"

Gu Zheng was stunned, this time the reward was actually the qualification of the improved ingredients in the desolate space.

At the beginning, Gu Zheng only had three qualifications for promotion, one was used for eggs, one was used for water, and one was later used for thousands of years of ginseng.

After that, the Immortal Immortal Jue was promoted to the second realm, and the machine spirit added two types to him, which is equivalent to having the qualification of five kinds of ingredients, but at present, there is only one left, and the other one was used up when he was in Hangzhou, and the salt was increased.

Now two more have been added, so that the types of ingredients that Gu Zheng can improve the quality of ingredients have increased to three, that is to say, as long as there are second-grade ingredients, Gu Zheng can turn them into ordinary grades, and the ordinary grade ingredients that he can use have increased by three more.

This is definitely a very good reward, and Gu Zheng is very satisfied.

"Rewards, cooking, steamed fish!"

The man in white before reappeared, this time the reward to Gu Zheng was cooking, the cooking skills of steamed fish, Gu Zheng had learned several cooking skills before, and he also had his own cooking skills, but most of them were related to chickens, omelette, chicken blood soup, chicken shredded noodle soup, all have a lot to do with chicken.

It's his self-made egg fried rice, which also has eggs in it.

This time, he finally learned a cooking skill that has nothing to do with chicken, steamed fish.

Steamed fish, seemingly simple, is very complicated to make, and soon the cooking skills of steamed fish are imprinted in Gu Zheng's mind, as if he has learned it a long time ago.

There are fish ponds in the flood space, and there are ordinary level fish in Gu Zheng, but unfortunately they are not yet mature, so they can't make a steamed fish to taste now.

This time there are no rewards for immortal skills and immortal arts, but these rewards have made Gu Zheng very satisfied, there is no punishment for this test, and the harvest is so big, Gu Zheng is now looking forward to it, and if there are more tests like this in the future, he can harvest more things and cooking skills.

The day after Gu Zheng returned, Wang's roast chicken and Shao's bucket chicken were sent over.

It was Xiang Ming's son Xiang Kai who personally sent it, and he was responsible for delivering goods to Gu Zheng every day in the future, and this time he sent a total of forty roast chickens and forty bucket chickens, and now most of Lu Cai's chicken production has gone to Gu Zheng.

The bucket chicken itself is cold, and the roast chicken is covered with warm braised soup, and it is still hot in the store of Gu Zheng, and the hot roast chicken that has just come out of the pot is the most delicious.

"It's new in the store, look at it!"

"Damn, it's so expensive!"

"Are all the chickens here made of gold, how can one piece be more expensive than the other!"

"It's nothing expensive, as long as it tastes good, other places are cheap, but the taste really can't compare to here!"

After the manager posted the types and prices of the new food, the people who were eating at the store started to talk about it, and there were two kinds of new food that were put on display this time, and they were all sold as a whole.

Wang's roast chicken, one hundred and eighty-eight one pounds, Shao's bucket chicken, one hundred and ninety-eight one pounds, Gu Zheng did not change his name, and directly used their names to show respect, which made them very grateful.

It's not one, it's a catty, close to two hundred yuan a catty, and the price is indeed not low.

Roast chicken is not only sold, bucket chicken can be sold half, roast chicken is very rotten, gently tear the meat to separate, there is no way to sell separately, bucket chicken is harder, can be cut in half to sell, anyway, it is sold by the catty, you can buy it as much as you want.

It's just that this price makes many people shake their heads.

Not to mention them, even the store manager was stunned when he heard the price that Gu Zheng asked him to write, he thought that the chicken blood soup of eighty-eight and the mixed noodles of fifty-eight were already very expensive, but he didn't expect that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and the price of these two kinds of chicken was even more expensive.

However, the manager knows more than ordinary diners, and the reason why the price of these two types of chicken is so high is because the cost of purchasing it is high.

The purchase price of roast chicken is eighty-one, originally Xiang Ming wanted to reduce the price to Gu Zheng, after all, wholesale can not be treated the same as retail, but Gu Zheng did not agree, after chatting with Boss He, Gu Zheng only knew that in fact, Xiang Ming's roast chicken profit is very thin, the cost of each catty of roast chicken is close to seventy-five yuan, selling eighty, really not very profitable.

A chicken of a few hundred yuan only earns twenty yuan, and selling ten chickens a day is only two hundred yuan.

No wonder their shop is so broken, and the car they drive is so bad, they can't compare to Boss He and Master Shao, in this case, it is impossible for Gu Zheng to let him reduce the price, drop two or three yuan, it doesn't mean anything to Gu Zheng, but for Xiang Ming, the profit is equivalent to half at once.

Gu Zheng won't eat meat by himself, so that others can't even drink the soup, so he simply comes at the market price, as long as he can ensure his supply in the future.

The purchase price is eighty-one catties, and the transportation fee is counted, and the high-speed rail transports it back and forth every day, plus there are only forty roast chickens, the transportation cost is not low, fortunately, there are forty buckets of chickens to share the transportation costs, otherwise the transportation costs will be higher.

Even so, it costs 20 yuan per catty to be actually transported to the store, which is equivalent to their cost of 100 yuan a catty.

The cost price of one hundred and one catties, the cost of the store and the staff are not calculated, and the calculation of these, selling one hundred and eighty-eight is indeed not high, after all, opening a store is to do business, and it also needs profits.

As for the bucket chicken, it is because the bucket chicken uses better raw materials, and the cost of raw materials exceeds that of roast chicken, so the price is higher.

Bucket chicken Master Shao sells ninety-one catties, and the profit is a little higher than Xiang Ming, but it is not ten yuan, about eight yuan, and because of this, he is not willing to make more of this kind of bucket chicken, except for high-level customers, it is not sold in the store at all.

The profit of one pound and eight yuan is about the same as that of ordinary bucket chickens, but the cost is several times higher.

After the two new foods were laid out, some curious people went to buy some and try them.

Roast chicken and bucket chicken are all Lu Cai chicken, all of them are big, basically a few people buy one together, and the people who have eaten it all give a thumbs up, the taste of this roast chicken really did not disappoint them, it is very unusual, especially drinking chicken blood soup and eating roast chicken, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Since the taste is good, they can accept the price if it is more expensive, and the forty roast chickens and forty bucket chickens of the day were sold out in half a day.

Xiang Kai went back in Gu Zheng's shop for half a day today, Gu Zheng's shop was an eye-opener for him, he never thought that there were still people who did this business, selling it so expensive, but the business was so hot.

Chicken blood soup, eighty-eighty-one bowls, actually sold out every day, Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup, eight hundred and eighty-eight one bowls, many people rushed to ask for it, and more people complained that Gu Zheng hadn't made chicken blood soup recently, so they couldn't drink it.

These people, as if money is not important at all, don't care about money at all.

Coming out this time also made him secretly determined that he would never stay in a small township in the future, he must come out, the life in the big city is what he yearns for, and he will stay in Shencheng and stay in this big city in the future.

His father has promised to pass on his roast chicken recipe and technology, and said that after he finishes learning, he can go to Guzheng to make it, and he can only come here to make it, and he must use Lu Cai chicken to make Wang's roast chicken, if it is replaced with other ingredients, he will not recognize this son.

Two kinds of chickens, 80 per day, sold out every day, many people asked the store to increase the supply, but unfortunately the farm only has these supplies to provide, more will not work.

However, all this will improve in five months, and Boss He has been busy with his feet recently, and has been expanding the factory and increasing the scale of breeding.

The six million that Gu Zheng gave him could let him go and do a big job.

At this time, the matter of Shangping steamed bun shop also broke out completely, triggering a discussion of food safety among the people, not only Shangping and Sioux City, but also many restaurants in Shencheng were also secretly inspected and then announced their food safety situation.

Many electric food safety standards have been exposed, and some shops use gutter oil and have been fined very badly, and some serious ones such as making poisonous steamed buns have been arrested, and these people will be sentenced to prison, and they will not be able to come out in a short time.

In addition, there are many stores that meet the food safety standards, so you can use them with confidence.

In addition, there are a few stores where the food is not only harmless, but also good for health, and most of them are some stores that pay more attention to health preservation, including Guji chicken blood soup.

Gu Zheng's store was also spot-checked, and their appraisal report made the people in the Food Safety Bureau a little incredulous.

All their things, including roast chicken and bucket chicken, are not harmful, they are all safe food, and that's it, but their chicken blood soup actually contains more than 80 minutes of substances that are beneficial to the human body.

Among the foods sampled, Guji chicken blood soup is the best food for the human body.

As soon as this announcement came out, the original attack on Guji Chicken Blood Soup and Lao Tang was self-defeating, and everyone understood that there was no problem with Guji Chicken Blood Soup, and people just didn't bother to distinguish it at first.

A good thing is a good thing, even if you don't distinguish it, then the business will not recover and become hot again.

Now with the appraisal report, the business has become more popular, some people are still a little guilty because of the original suspicions, and they are more supportive of the Guji chicken blood soup, the fame of the Guji chicken blood soup in Shencheng is getting bigger and bigger, and there have been many foreign tourists who have come to taste it, and the fame has gradually spread to the whole country.

Three days later, a new announcement was issued on the official website of the Food Association, announcing the time of the 16th Chinese Food Competition and the list of contestants.

With 300 contestants all over the world, the Chinese Food Contest has nationality requirements, and only Chinese nationals can participate, but there is no restriction on their place of work.

There are many celebrity chefs who work abroad, and Gu Zheng's father Gu Ming is.

The list of 300 people is basically the top active chef in the country at present, except for a few seniors who have participated in many competitions and are not participating in the competition, the rest of the chefs are all in it, and the list of 300 people has their place of work, as well as personal information such as age, place of origin and past achievements.

Gu Zheng's name is among the three hundred, followed by his age, twenty-three, results, first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition.

As soon as the list came out, it caused a heated discussion in the chef world, not only this year, but also every previous one.

As the largest competition in the domestic chef industry, the attention of the Chinese Food Competition is very high, and most people in the food industry are concerned about this competition.

These people will become the object of many restaurants.

Gu Zheng was also taken to study by them, and finally learned that Gu Zheng was the owner of Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup Shop.

Many people know about Guji Chicken Blood Soup, and they also know that their business is very good, how can such a big boss poach him to be his own chef, this is simply unrealistic.

As expected by the elder Gao, among all the contestants, Gu Zheng was the youngest, but to their surprise, there was another player under the age of twenty-five, a player named Song Bai, who was twenty-four years old, only one year older than Gu Zheng.

In one competition, there were two players under the age of twenty-five, which was very surprising.

And this Song Bai's information is very simple, only his hometown, nothing else, he was recommended to participate in the food competition, the person who recommended him is a senior in the food industry, a respected senior, with such a senior recommendation, he can also participate in the competition.

There are more people who study him than they study Gu Zheng, after all, no one knew who this person was before, and they suddenly appeared, thinking about whether they could invite him over.

As long as you participate in the Chinese food competition, even if your cooking skills are average, some people will rush to ask for them, not to mention that it is generally impossible for cooking skills to participate in such competitions, and everyone must have their own characteristics.

The competition will be held in two months, and after the list came out, Uncle Hu, Gao Lao, and Mr. Wu all called, so that Gu Zheng could prepare for the competition with peace of mind and strive to achieve a good result in the Chinese food competition.

Even Gu Zheng's father, Gu Ming, also called and told him about his experience in participating in the food competition.

Everyone attaches great importance to this competition, Gu Zheng himself doesn't care, now he has another cooking skill of steamed fish, as well as ready-made ingredients, in addition, he also has a qualification to choose his own cooking skills, plus he has long learned the omelette, chicken blood soup, chicken shredded chicken noodle soup and egg fried rice, Gu Zheng can take a lot of cooking skills to participate in the competition, there is no worry at all.

"Master, do you have time?"

Seven days later, Gu Zheng suddenly received a worry-free phone call, which made Gu Zheng very strange.

He had just come back from Lecheng three days ago, and went back to appease the white cat, and he had to go back every once in a while to make something delicious for the white cat, so that it could continue to stay there, and let the Emei faction have one more immortal-level guardian immortal beast.

"I've been fine, is there something going on in the door?"

Gu Zheng asked casually, when he went back, the Great Elder of Sanssouci didn't say anything, and he suddenly called after only a few days, which made him instinctively think that there was another incident within the sect, and it was something that the two elders couldn't solve.

"There's nothing inside the door, everything is fine, we just got the news that there is a Tianshan Snow Lotus that is about to mature and be born!"

The Great Elder of Worry-Free said quickly, and Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that there is nothing in the door, the Emei faction is originally small, he doesn't want to have any moths often, so he, the head of the sect, is too tired.

"Tianshan Snow Lotus, didn't we just receive one?"

Not long ago, Zhen Fengtang did receive the Tianshan Snow Lotus, which was still an ordinary level Tianshan Snow Lotus, the quality was very good, and it had been sent to the underground treasure house without worry. At this time, even if a new snow lotus was born, it should not alarm the Great Elder, after all, the raw materials grown on the earth could only reach the ordinary level at the highest.

"This is different, the snow lotus born this time is thousands of years old, and the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus will bear Tianshan Snow Lotus Seeds, and the "Snow Lotus Pill" refined by the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seeds can increase the success rate of cultivators to more than fifty percent when they break through in the late fifth layer!"

The Great Elder of Worry-Free said quickly, not every late stage of the fifth layer can advance to the immortal cultivator, many people can reach the fifth layer, many sects have never lacked a powerhouse of the fifth layer realm, but there has not been an immortal cultivator for hundreds of thousands of years.

The reason is that it is too difficult to break through to the realm of immortal cultivators in the late stage of the fifth layer, and once you fail, there is no possibility of promotion.

The rare Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed in the world can increase the success rate of promotion to fifty percent, and this effect alone is enough to make many people crazy.

Normally, there is not one out of ten immortal cultivators who break through to the late stage of the fifth layer, and there is not even the possibility of one percent, but when it is increased to fifty percent, one can imagine how those cultivators in the late stage of the fifth layer will react.

After all, advancing to become an immortal cultivator is equivalent to having a stronger longevity and more powerful power, and no one doesn't want to break through to this realm.

"So, the Great Elder wants this snow lotus?"

Gu Zheng understood what was going on, such a treasure was very attractive to internal strength cultivators, and the Great Elder of Worry-Free was already in the late stage of the fifth layer, and he should have been eager to get it.

"yes, we have to get it!"

The Great Elder of Worry-Free said quickly, there is one thing that Gu Zheng didn't know, and Great Elder Sanssouci didn't mention it, Great Elder Sanssouci wanted the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, not for himself, but for Gu Zheng.

He is very old, even if he breaks through, his achievements are limited, Gu Zheng is different, Gu Zheng is still young, once he breaks through, the future achievements will be more brilliant, he wants this Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed, and he also wants to keep it for Gu Zheng.

"What plan does the Great Elder have, just tell me directly!"

"The thousand-year-old snow lotus is about to mature, we have to rush to the Tianshan Mountains as soon as possible, I and Wuchou will set off now, and you will go directly to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to meet us......

Carefree Dachang told Gu Zheng a lot of details about this trip to the Tianshan Mountains.

After a while, after hanging up the phone of Elder Wuwu, Gu Zheng, who frowned slightly, decided to rush to Tianshan as soon as possible, and early the next morning, Gu Zheng rushed to the airport and headed for Tianshan.

The people of the Emei faction have already taken the first step, and they will wait for Gu Zheng at the place where the grassland enters the Tianshan Mountains, and then they will go together.

Gu Zheng took a plane from Shencheng to Urumqi, and then took a car from Urumqi, transferred to the Duku Highway along the Wuyi Highway, and traveled more than 460 kilometers to Jingxian County.

After arriving in Jingxian, Gu Zheng found a local to be his guide, and traveled west along the rugged mountain road towards Bayinbrook Grassland.

It is said that it is going along the mountain road, but in fact, there is a car to sit on, but the car is very dilapidated, the road condition is not good, and the road is very bumpy along the way, even if Gu Zheng is an immortal cultivator, he also feels very uncomfortable.

There is a distance of more than 300 kilometers from Jingxian to Bayinbrook grassland, and on this rugged mountain road, there are not as few vehicles as imagined, after all, Bayinbrook grassland is the second largest grassland in the Celestial Empire, the area is second only to Erdos in Inner Mongolia, where the terrain is flat, the water and grass are abundant, it is a typical grass meadow grassland, and it is also one of the most important animal husbandry bases in Xinjiang. The elegant and charming Swan Lake is not uncommon, so there are many people who come to visit.

However, the place where Gu Zheng wants to go is far away from those tourist attractions, and the locals call that place "Black Dragon's Mouth". In the past, there was often a large Tianshan gray wolf near the black dragon's mouth, although there are fewer gray wolves in the mountains today, but there are still few people willing to be a guide to that place.

The guide Gu Zheng was looking for was called Eric, he was an old man in his sixties, with a sallow face and two very curly mustaches.

Eric is a local ethnic minority who spent some time in the interior of the country when he was young and knows some Chinese. From Eric, Gu Zheng learned that there were many people from the mainland who went to Heilongkou, and Eric alone had already received two batches. Gu Zheng understood that anyone who went to Heilongkou at this time was from all major sects in the mainland.

Although Jingxian is only more than 300 kilometers away from Bayinbrook Grassland, it was already afternoon when Gu Zheng came, and because of the rugged mountain road, he would spend the night on the road tonight, and he could really enter the grassland tomorrow.

It was getting dark, and two men with backpacks appeared on the mountain road illuminated by the headlights.

The two men looked over and made a gesture of wanting to stop, and Eric slowed down the car, his eyes falling on Gu Zheng.

This trip can be regarded as a chartered car from Gu Zheng, whether it stops or not, Eric naturally has to listen to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng didn't speak, just nodded, and the car stopped in front of the two men.

Both men looked like they were in their forties, one fat and one thin, the fat one had a smile on his face, and the thin one had no expression on his face.

"Where are you going?" asked Eric in stiff Mandarin, with a thick 'ma' sound, very local.

"We're going to the Black Dragon's Mouth, do you know how to go?"

The fat one hands Eric a cigarette, but is stopped by Eric, who doesn't smoke.

Eric turned his head and looked at Gu Zheng again, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Gu Zheng learned from a casual conversation with Eric that Eric's family situation is quite bad, otherwise he would not come out to work as a tour guide at such an old age.

If the two people who stopped the car were just ordinary tourists, and they just went to the front to pick it up, then Eric didn't need to ask Gu Zheng, anyway, Gu Zheng had already nodded before, but the place they were going to was the same as Gu Zheng, and such a long-distance passerby had to pay for getting on the bus.

"Yes!" Gu Zheng sympathized with Eric and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you. ”

The old man Eric thanked Gu for arguing, turned his head to the two men and said, "I know how to go, but where to go is to give money!"

"How much does the old man cost?" said the fat man.

"A thousand dollars per person!"

Eric collected two thousand, and one thousand for each of these two people, which is indeed reasonable. Although there are cars on this road, after entering the depths of the grassland, there are some places where cars cannot pass! At that time, he will need to lead the way on foot for a day before he can reach Heilongkou.

Gu Zheng is now the boss, with a considerable fixed income every month, and the other party is an old man, when Eric said two thousand yuan, he directly agreed.

However, the two men in front of him had obviously different ideas from Gu Zheng, the corners of the fat man's mouth twitched, and the expressionless man's emaciated face suddenly turned cold.

"One thousand, why don't you rob it!"

"If you want to sit, just sit down, forget it!" said the old man Eric, who looked a little angry, and was about to drive.

"Don't be angry, uncle, he doesn't know how to speak, two thousand is it, isn't it expensive!"

The fat man was much more flexible than the expressionless man, and quickly gave the money out of his wallet, and Eric didn't say anything more, and the two got into the car.

Eric's car was a jeep, Gu Zheng was sitting in the back before, and the two opened the car door to see that the fat one took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, and the thin one sat in the back seat.

Gu Zheng closed his eyes and rested, and after the two men got into the car, they chatted to themselves.

There is nothing nutritious about the content of the chat, it is nothing more than whining and sighing.

From their chat, Gu Zheng learned that the fat one was called Yang Jie, and the thin one was called Xie Hao, and the reason why the two of them blocked the car on the road was because they had been guided before, left them on the road, and went back by themselves.

Although the two accused the guide of not having professional ethics in their words, Gu Zheng understood that the fault was not on the guide, because the guy named Xie Hao did not listen to him and did not respect other people's customs, although the guide left them on the road, the money was returned to them half.

Even so, the guide was cleaned up by them, and the two of them didn't want the guide anymore.

Knowing their purpose, and also knowing that they were internal strength cultivators, they went to Snow Lotus, Gu Zheng didn't want to deal with these two people more, and he didn't speak all the way, and when they chatted, Gu Zheng closed his eyes and recuperated with peace of mind.

Fortunately, the two of them spoke Sichuan dialect, and the old man Eric couldn't understand it, otherwise it was estimated that they would have been kicked out of the car.

Yang Jie and Xie Hao chatted for a while, but there was really nothing to say, and the topic turned to Gu Zheng.

"Hey, friend, wake up, where are you going?" said Yang Jie.

"Don't pay attention to him, this person is rude, when we take the car, he still talks, he keeps his eyes closed when we get in the car, I get angry when I see this kind of person. Xie Hao snorted coldly.

Gu Zheng was about to say something, when the car jolted, and the old man Eric drove the car to a fork in the road, which was not long, and there was a clearing the size of a playground in the recess of the mountain at the end. There are several stone caves on the half-human cliff wall, and there are many traces of bonfires on the ground, so it seems that this is a place for people who walk this road to rest.

"Let's spend the night here tonight, and we'll all set up our tents and get sleeping bags. ”

Eric got out of the car, it is very unsafe to drive on the grassland at night, not only will there be wild wolves and the like, but the road conditions are not good, and a bad one may cause an accident, so the guide is rarely willing to drive at night.

Gu Zheng followed the door and walked down, Yang Jie and Xie Hao also got out of the car, but they didn't go to get the sleeping bag, but moved their muscles and bones in place.

"How can you sleep at night if you don't take your sleeping bag?" said Old Eric with displeasure as he stuffed his sleeping bag into the cave.

"We've paid for all the money, and we still need to do the errand of setting up a tent and putting a sleeping bag?" Xie Hao's eyes widened, as if he had heard a fantasy.

"I'm a guide, not your servant. Eric was really angry, and both of his beards were shaking.

"You old man has a big temper, huh?"

As Xie Hao spoke, he was about to walk towards Eric, and Gu Zheng, who was already unhappy with the two of them, quickly stuffed his sleeping bag into a stone cave more than one person deep, and also walked towards Eric Old Man.

"Forget it, what's the point of being angry with an old man!"

Yang Jie pulled Xie Hao, who was walking forward, he didn't want to be left in the wilderness anymore.

"No, I just don't want to get used to their stinky temper!"

Xie Hao's voice was stunned, and he became even more angry: "Look, what kind of virtue is he, he actually put our sleeping bags back in the car!"

"Don't say it, we're not ordinary people, what does it matter if we sleep in the open?

Yang Jie sneered and shook his head, while Xie Hao glanced at Eric contemptuously and didn't say anything more.

Gu Zheng returned to the car to help the old man Eric get the fire, and in his heart, he actually sneered.

Through the machine spirit, Gu Zheng can easily see through the cultivation of the two people, don't look at them with a bullish look, in fact, the cultivation level is only in the late stage of the second layer.

The second layer is the Bone Refining Realm, and under normal circumstances, such a cultivation is indeed not too afraid of cold and heat, but today's weather is not normal. Not long after he hit the road, Eric looked at the sky and said that there would be a 'bone wind' in the first half of the night tonight, which would make the temperature as low as minus ten or twenty degrees.

After Gu Zheng and Eric took the fire, they set it up in a large pit on the ground, and at this time the wind also rose, and the temperature dropped instantly.

Lighting the bonfire, Old Eric took out a few more things, namely naan, jam, and a kettle.

The kettle was used to boil water to make tea, and the old man Eric put the naan on the fire to heat it and gave some to Gu Zheng.

"Naan, low food. ”

"Jam, inferior food. ”

The voice of the machine spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's heart at the right time.

The jam actually reached the second grade, which made Gu Zheng a little surprised, but the environment here is different from the mainland, there is very little pollution here, and it is normal for the jam to reach the second grade.

The tea has been brewed, and some sweet and sour jam is spread on the naan, and a little water can quickly dissolve the dry naan cake, turning into a sweet fragrance that spreads between the lips and teeth.

"Uncle, is this jam brewed by your family?" Hearing Gu Zheng ask about the jam, Eric looked very proud.

"Well, we're called Marina here, and you're called Raspberry over there. The year before last, I brought a tourist, and he praised this, but it was very troublesome to brew, and I didn't have it at the time, and after making this last year, the tourist came to buy some. ”

A passage in which Eric struggled to speak in stiff Chinese.

"Uncle, do you still have this raspberry jam in the car? I want to buy some. ”

Being able to encounter this kind of deeply processed inferior food can be regarded as a small harvest, and Gu Zheng naturally will not let go of this opportunity!

"There are three bottles, which were originally not sold and kept for yourself, but the young man is very good, I'll give you two bottles!"

Eric is not the kind of person who falls into the eyes of money, for him there are some things to make money, but eating this kind of thing, when he meets a good person like Gu Zheng, he can give some if he doesn't make money.

Although the net content of the two bottles of jam was less than a catty, how could Gu Zheng ask for the things of the old man Eric for nothing, just as he gave the money and the old man Eric refused to accept it, a cold snort came into the ears of the two.

"This is really a family between two races, and the sincerity of friendship almost made me cry. ”

Xie Hao approached the bonfire in a strange way, but at this time, the old man Eric screamed.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Jie was rushing towards the cliff, and Eric's screams almost scared him into Yang Wei.

"You can't do this kind of thing here, this is the "Vulcan Cave", you will blaspheme the Vulcan God, and you will be punished!"

Old man Eric hurried to the cliff and whispered something in their language as if in prayer to the smoky cliff.

Although he was not convinced, he was stopped, and Yang Jie couldn't continue, so he smiled at the old man Eric and walked to the fire and sat down.

"You two, don't put dirty things on the road, there are a lot of gods here, don't let bad luck entangle me! If you can do it, you will continue on the road, if you can't do it, I will return the money to you, and I will not continue to walk with you!"

Old Eric also returned, blowing his beard and glaring angrily.

"So, in the future, we will ask you for instructions?"

Xie Hao's face turned cold, but he was pulled by Yang Jie again.

"What my husband said makes sense, let's just do it. ”

Yang Jie really didn't want to be driven away again, but he compromised on his lips, and there was a flash of unhappiness in his eyes.

"Hehe" Gu Zheng sneered.

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Hao's voice suddenly raised, obviously spilling his anger on Gu Zheng's head.

"Can you control laughter?"

Gu Zheng, who stretched out his hands to bake the fire, and under the urging of the fire control technique, the bonfire, which was already burning vigorously, seemed to be poured with oil, and the flames suddenly burst out towards Xie Hao.

Xie Hao reacted quickly and quickly retreated, but even so, his hair was still burning.

Xie Hao saved himself, Yang Jie helped on the side, and the fire that had just ignited was controlled in an instant.

Xie Hao, whose eyebrows were burned and his hair was half burned, stared at Gu Zheng with a solemn gaze! The fire just now was so strange, why did Gu Zheng suddenly burst out so much when he was talking? What an abnormal thing this is!

"Lord Vulcan, forgive these two ignorant strangers!"

Old Eric suddenly threw himself to the ground and bowed down to the dark cliff.
