Chapter 245: Explanation of Ingredients
Gu Zheng didn't care what the machine spirit thought, and after eating and drinking enough at the snack festival, Gu Zheng returned home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no punishment for the test, and the pressure is naturally much less, but the test without punishment does not mean that you can give up directly, after all, there are rich rewards after completion, and these rewards are as many as possible.
According to the explanation of the machine spirit, this test is guaranteed to be a traditional folk food, not only those that are century-old brands, but they must be famous in the whole country, and they cannot be counted without a certain degree of fame.
In order to increase the difficulty of the test, the machine spirit gave Gu Zheng another restriction, he had to go to a city he had not been to to find it.
Gu Zheng didn't particularly care about this difficulty, and the cities he had been to were not particularly many, but this did increase the difficulty for him, after all, the cities he had been to were familiar, and it was easier to inquire.
In fact, it is not easy to find more powerful folk masters, a national famous, already considered the top leader, those who can be famous, have a top reputation in the country, which inheritor is not immersed in this cooking for decades, experienced, plus a lot of ancestral secret recipes, equal to several lifetimes of accumulated experience, how can ordinary people do better than them.
It's difficult, but it's not impossible, Gu Zheng has done it, his chicken blood soup tastes better than the Sun family's chicken blood soup, even Old Man Sun himself admits it, but how many people like Gu Zheng are?
However, Gu Zheng also knew in his heart that he had the Gluttonous Immortal Order, as well as the cooking skills inherited by the Gluttonous Immortals, and finally outperformed the Sun family's chicken blood soup, without these, it was impossible.
Thinking about it this way, this test is indeed not easy, it is difficult to find one, but the machine spirit asks to find three, this test is much more difficult than simply conquering other people's taste buds before.
If you can, Gu Zheng really wants a test to make food to conquer the future, although that kind of test is difficult, but as long as he has a way to let others eat the food he makes, he can succeed, unlike now, his eyes are dark, and he doesn't know how to do it.
Maybe you can ask Mu Mu and the cat-loving fish to help them?
Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he quickly came up with a solution.
Mu Mu himself is a food omnivorous editor, and he knows a lot of food critics, plus they love cats and fish, Gu Zheng only needs to publish a message in his own circle, let them provide clues, and then look for them according to the clues, which is much better than looking for a needle in a haystack.
In this way, you can not only save time, but also reduce unnecessary trouble, even if you find the food you find and do not get the approval of the machine spirit, it will not delay your efforts.
Gu Zheng sent messages to Mu Mu and the cat-loving fish, as well as other food critics he knew, asking them if they had felt anything they had eaten before, and what kind of food was not famous, but it was more delicious than the most famous in its kind.
Mobilizing the people around you to find clues, although it is still a needle in a haystack, but it is always better, after all, their food critics have eaten a lot of delicious things, and if there is something that tastes particularly good, it will definitely leave a deep impression.
Folk traditional food, this range is really wide, as long as the whole country is famous, thinking of this, Gu Zheng shook his head lightly.
In fact, there are many such snacks, you don't have to find Sun's chicken blood soup, Goubuli such exclusive snacks, go to those snacks that are as famous, but there are many snacks in the store, such as Lanzhou ramen that is known in the country, Shaxian snacks, and the characteristics of various places, which are also famous throughout the country, such as braised noodles in the Central Plains, salted duck in Jinling, grilled chicken in Texas, pig trotters in Shen Wansan's family, and so on.
These are all well-known throughout the country, and they are traditional famous foods, which are completely qualified, and it seems that it is not too difficult to choose a chef who is not famous and does a particularly good job.
Thinking of Shaxian snacks, Gu Zheng thought of another kind of food, mixed noodles and flat food.
Shaxian snacks have a long history and belong to a branch of the Han food culture tradition in the Central Plains, which has both the dietary characteristics of Fuzhou and southern Fujian, and the Hakka food culture style in the mountainous areas of Tingzhou, so it is divided into two major schools: the Chengguan snack genre with fresh and sweet taste and fine production, and the Xiamao snack genre with salty, spicy and sour taste and extensive production.
Mixed noodles and flat food belong to the representative cuisine of Shaxian snacks in the Chengguan snack genre.
The reason why Gu Zheng thought of this was because he remembered a food review he had just seen about bibime flat food not long ago, and he was very impressed by that article.
There is a unique snack bar in Zeqiu County, and the noodles in this store, according to the food review, are more delicious than the noodles in the authentic Shaxian snacks.
The author of this food review, Gu Zheng, is no stranger to it, named Deep Sea Shark.
The Deep Sea Shark is a veteran gourmand with his own paranoia about food, and to be praised by him and to make a better evaluation than the noodles and flat food in the authentic Shaxian snacks is enough to explain a lot.
When Gu Zheng first saw his article, he also moved the idea of going to the store in Zeqiu County to taste it, but later because of other things, and because this store had already received reviews from the Deep Sea Shark, he didn't need to go again, so he dispelled this idea.
Now it seems that this is an opportunity to get the job done.
First of all, Zeqiu County is not in Shaxian County, the most famous snacks in Shaxian County must be in Shaxian County, going to Zeqiu meets the requirements of the test task, and Zeqiu is not far from Shencheng, and it only takes more than an hour to drive to arrive.
However, for the sake of insurance, Gu Zheng still asked the machine spirit first: "If you go to a snack bar that you already know to find food, is it not eligible for the test task?"
This time, the machine spirit didn't make it difficult for Gu to argue, but said lightly: "This is okay, as long as it is a strange city that you have not been to, it is not considered a violation of the conditions of the test mission." β
That's great!
Gu Zheng immediately laughed, if the noodles and flat food in that special snack bar were really as delicious as the Deep Sea Shark commented, maybe he would really be able to complete a third of the test tasks.
Just do it when you think of it, anyway, Gu Zheng has nothing to do at this time, immediately find out the article I read last time, ask the location of the special snack bar, and set off for Zeqiu County.
Mu Mu and the fish who love cats will also reply to the message, Mu Mu also asked Gu Zheng what he is doing here, Gu Zheng didn't say much to her, only said that there is information in this area to provide to himself as much as possible, which is very useful.
They gave a lot of clues about the food, and many of them have been written, and they also sent them to connect, and there are articles that can understand it more clearly, and these connections Gu Zheng selected some cities that he had not been to collect them, and prepared to screen them after returning from Zeqiu.
The next day, Gu Zheng rushed to Zeqiu County, but according to the location provided in the Deep Sea Shark text, it took him a lot of effort to find the special snack bar.
At the same time, Gu Zheng also understood why the noodles and flat food in this special snack bar could be so praised by the deep-sea mad shark, but it was still not very famous.
The location of this small specialty shop is too remote, surrounded by residential buildings, and the road at the entrance is very narrow, there is not even a parking space nearby, probably except for the people nearby, no one will come here to taste.
Not only that, but the faΓ§ade of this small shop is also very small, about 10 square meters in size, and there are up to four small tables in it, excluding the back kitchen.
The cook in charge of cooking at the very back was a thin middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, with a simple face, and besides him, there was a middle-aged woman in the store who worked as a cashier and waiter, and she was very busy.
Gu Zheng estimated that this snack bar still seems to be a mom-and-pop shop.
It's not easy for deep-sea sharks to discover this place.
But then again, although this snack bar is small, there are a lot of people. Not only was the table full of people, but there were also a few simple folding tables at the door, which were also full.
The cook in charge of the innermost part was a thin middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, with a simple face, and in addition to him, there was a middle-aged woman who acted as a cashier and waiter, and it seemed to be a mom-and-pop shop.
Gu Zheng glanced at it and found that the people who came here to eat were also mixed noodles and flat food, and everyone's expressions were also very satisfied, which made him feel a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
When Chang Feng and the others ate his fried egg, they were almost like this.
In this way, Gu Zheng has a little more expectation in his heart.
After waiting for about five or six minutes, someone in the store finished eating and left, and Gu Zheng hurriedly took the opportunity to occupy a seat and asked for a bowl of noodles and flat food.
Anyway, whether the noodles in this store are delicious or not, and whether they can surpass the noodles in the most authentic Shaxian snacks will only be known after eating.
Although the location inside is a little crowded, it is also convenient for Gu Zheng to observe the cooking process of the chef in the back kitchen.
The back kitchen is only half separated from the front dining table by a transparent glass wall, and Gu Zheng can see it clearly.
Bibi noodles are actually a simplified version of fried noodles, with no diced meat and no mixed vegetables, just noodles with peanut butter and chili sauce. In addition to the ingredients of the noodles, the most important thing to make bibimban noodles delicious is the ingredients and proportions of peanut butter and chili sauce.
Bianshi, also known as dumplings, but the bimbal noodles are dumplings with very thin skin, and you can see the meat filling inside after cooking. The so-called bibimbal flat food can also be said to be dumpling soup with a simplified version of mixed sauce noodles.
It is served with thin skin and thick meat, and the doughnut butter and chili sauce are poured over the dough and half of the noodles, creating a unique flavor.
The chef knew that he was very experienced at a glance, so he first prepared several empty bowls in an orderly manner, and did not rush to put the noodles first, but sprinkled some green shallots on each bowl like a dragonfly, and then used a scoop to scoop up the flat food that had been cooked next to it and pour it into the bowl.
After doing all this, he picked up a large spoon and added the peanut butter and chili sauce evenly, and the last step was to scoop up the noodles that were tumbling in another pot with a large basket and divide them evenly in each bowl.
The whole process takes no more than five minutes. And this chef can make three or four bowls of noodles at a time.
This speed can satisfy so many diners in his small shop.
When the noodles were served, Gu Zheng picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl, and the peanut butter and chili sauce pressed under the noodles were immediately churned up and wrapped around each noodle, and the unique fusion fragrance of peanut butter and fish chili sauce was also emitted in the air.
Color and fragrance, at least two points of color and fragrance, have been qualified.
Before he could eat it, Gu Zheng felt that he might be about to complete one-third of the test task, and his mood became very happy, and he couldn't wait to pick up a noodle and put it in his mouth.
However, the voice of the machine spirit sounded again, causing Gu Zheng's smile to stiffen on his face.
"Noodles, junk ingredients. β
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but put down the noodles, and picked up a flat food instead.
Not surprisingly, the evaluation of the machine spirit sounded again.
"Flat food, low ingredients. β
As the main ingredient of mixed noodles and flat food, mixed noodles and flat food are either garbage or low-grade, which really disappointed Gu Zheng, but since he came, he still had to taste it and bite off half of the flat food.
"Remind the heirs of the gods that if you want to complete the test task, the food you find must at least be inferior in the selection of the main ingredients, including inferior, and the ingredients used must not contain garbage and contain drug-grade existence. β
The voice of the machine spirit was still so plain, and Gu Zheng was stunned, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
I should have guessed a long time ago that it is impossible not to limit the ingredients with the temperament of the machine spirit, but this time it is not to limit himself, but to limit others, how to control the ingredients used by others, as long as he gives the machine spirit the right to make rules, it will definitely become a lot of trouble.
Another point, this time the limit is the folk traditional food, most of this kind are snacks, since it is a snack, generally speaking, the ingredients are very simple, the choice will not be so troublesome, now the main ingredients are limited to inferior, the worst accessories and ingredients are also low, such food, it is not easy to find.
However, it is better than the most famous similar snacks, and the ingredients must not be sloppy, and there is no restriction on this, and the impact is not particularly large.
Let's just say that the store in front of me is not big in area, there are not many tables, and the profit is thin.
Anyway, this time it was equivalent to him wasting more than two hours running to Zeqiu County in vain, and he gained nothing.
There was no gain, only one bite of flat food, and Gu Zheng didn't want to eat it.
To be honest, his flat food tastes actually good, different from what others do, they add some ingredients that others don't have, and the taste is fresher and no greasy, but that's just it, the level of ingredients is there, and it is difficult to make amazing food unless such ingredients are cooked against the sky, at best, it is excellent.
It's just excellent, not top-notch, plus the ingredients don't meet the requirements of the test, this food can't help Gu Zheng complete this test.
Gu Zheng put down his chopsticks, shook his head, looked at the bowl on the table regretfully, and got up to leave.
His movements had already attracted the attention of the diners next to him.
The people here are all frequent customers of this shop, and they also know the taste of this snack bar, they have eaten here for so long, and they have really never seen a diner who has two chopsticks and only eats half a bite and leaves.
Many people even stopped eating, but looked at Gu Zheng.
Not to mention them, even the chef and boss in charge of cooking also noticed Gu Zheng because of the abnormality outside, which was very surprised.
He is very confident in his own level, this mixed noodles flat food is a cooking skill he learned in Shaxian County, he has studied it himself for a long time, and has improved it, and he is confident that it is more delicious than the most authentic Shaxian snack mixed noodles flat food, and it makes no sense that there will be diners who can't even eat a piece.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was leaving, he had to stop continuing to cook, but hurriedly walked out, stopped in front of Gu Zheng, grabbed his apron and wiped it, and then asked cautiously: "This guest, do you have any dissatisfaction with the snacks in our store?"
Gu Zheng shook his head, this mixed noodles and flat food should indeed be a rare delicacy as commented by the Deep Sea Shark, but the ingredients are too poor and do not meet his requirements.
But he couldn't tell the boss about this, so he had to answer vaguely: "I don't have anything to complain about." β
"Then why did you only take half a bite and leave?"
Gu Zheng was not the kind of person who was very good at acting, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was perfunctory, and the boss was a little unhappy.
"To be honest, the noodles you make are full of color and aroma, but the ingredients you choose are really not good, which affects the taste. β
Gu Zheng saw that this boss was a little inquisitive, so he had to tell the truth.
"The ingredients are not good?"
When the boss heard Gu Zheng's words, his face first showed a stunned look, then frowned tightly, and stepped down his face.
At the beginning, he really thought that he was too busy, so that there was a problem in a certain link, and the bowl of mixed noodles and flat food tasted bad, but he really didn't expect that the reason why this guest couldn't eat for a long time turned out to be the ingredients.
After he returned from studying cooking in Shaxian County, he opened this small shop, and it has been five or six years, and the store where the ingredients are purchased has not changed.
This man is here to find trouble, right?
The boss snorted coldly, and no longer spoke, but looked Gu Zheng up and down.
Gu Zheng noticed the boss's expression, and probably guessed that the other party regarded himself as a person looking for trouble, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The boss can't really be blamed for the fact that the ingredients are not good, but he can't explain it to the other party.
After all, people are open to do business, and snacks are cheap, and they can't force the boss to use expensive ingredients, right?
Seeing that the other party was no longer holding him back, Gu Zheng shrugged his shoulders, turned around and prepared to leave.
"This person is so strange, it is because he can't eat noodles and flat food. β
"Wait, this person looks so familiar, where do I think I've seen it?"
"When you say that, I think he's a little familiar...... By the way, I remember, I watched a live broadcast before, it was the Hangzhou Food Competition, and this person is the one who won the first place, what is it called?"
"Gu Zheng, it's Gu Zheng, it's really him, it's him, the Gu Zheng who won the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition, I really didn't expect him to appear here. β
"Gu Zheng is from Shencheng, and Zeqiu County is not far from Shencheng, so it is normal for him to appear here. Since it's Gu Zheng's words, there may really be something wrong with the ingredients in this shop!"
"If someone else said that, I really don't believe it. But this is an ancient dispute, and there may really be a problem with the ingredients. In the first two months, a black-hearted boss was exposed on TV, and he used gutter oil, and he also used sick pork. β
"I'm a little scared of what you said, in case the owner of this shop ...... too."
The surrounding diners talked about it, and someone here actually recognized Gu Zheng's identity.
In fact, this is not unexpected, the finals of the Hangzhou Food Competition can be broadcast live on satellite TV, and there were so many viewers at that time, and it is normal for there to be one or two diners in this small shop.
If there is a problem with the ingredients in this shop, Gu Zheng can eat it, and the credibility is still very high. As a result, many diners are worried, fearing that the owner of the restaurant will use some junk ingredients to make more money, relying on cooking skills or other things to create this taste.
The boss was shocked again when he heard the guests' discussions, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was still a celebrity and won the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition.
He had heard of the Hangzhou Food Competition, but he didn't pay attention to it because he was busy, so he didn't recognize Gu Zhenglai, and now, his face became even darker.
His small shop, which is not a small place, can still make a good profit, in addition to the taste of the food itself, that is, because it has also made a name for itself in this area.
Gu Zheng appeared here and was recognized, if he left today, it would not take a day for the entire Zeqiu County to know that the famous Hangzhou Food Contest No. 1 commented that there was a problem with the ingredients in his store, which would be tantamount to completely smashing the signboard of their store and ruining the reputation he had worked hard to maintain for several years, who would dare to come to their small shop to eat in the future?
The boss couldn't help but be anxious, and the proprietress who had been busy was even more anxious when she saw this, so she couldn't help but come over and stop Gu Zheng, but she didn't know what to say, so she froze the scene for a while.
At this moment, even the diners outside stopped eating, stood up and looked inside, as if something had happened inside, and even the people passing by nearby were attracted a lot.
This small shop, which is very popular in its own right, is now surrounded by three floors on the outside and three floors on the inside, making it even more lively.
Gu Zheng suddenly had a headache, he really didn't expect that things would develop like this.
At this time, at the dining table next to Gu Zheng, two people stood up and took the initiative to ask Gu Zheng.
"It's actually a master of Gu Zheng, can you tell us all about what's wrong with the ingredients in this shop?"
"Yes, Master Gu Zheng, I've heard of you for a long time, and I know that you are a famous food critic, is there really anything wrong with the ingredients used in this shop?"
The two of them scrambled to ask Gu Zheng, and they didn't have any malicious intent, and they could see that they simply wanted to know what the problem with the ingredients was.
Gu Zheng hurriedly shook his head, and at the same time signaled the proprietress to let go of herself first, reassuring the surrounding diners not to be too excited, and then said to everyone sincerely: "Everyone misunderstood me, I said that the ingredients are not good, not that there is a problem with the ingredients." Let's use the simplest analogy, the same steamed bowl of rice, the taste of the rice steamed from the Northeast rice and the Jiangnan rice is different, this is the difference in ingredients. The owner of this shop is very careful, and the noodles and flat food ingredients used are also carefully selected, but I am more disobedient about the taste of the food, and I always feel that using this ordinary ingredient will affect the final taste of the food. β
Gu Zheng explained very sincerely, his attitude was very correct, and he did not forget to praise the owner of this store in the end, which eliminated the confusion in everyone's hearts.
He came to complete the test task of the machine spirit, but he didn't come to smash other people's signs, not to mention, aside from the ingredients, the craftsmanship of the owner of this shop is indeed very good.
I heard that it wasn't the ingredients that were wrong, but it was too ordinary, everyone's faces were much better, and the boss and the proprietress were also relieved, and their faces recovered a lot.
In just a dozen seconds, the sweat on their foreheads oozed out, and they could be regarded as experiencing what it was like to go from heaven to hell and then from hell back to heaven.
Gu Zheng's sincere explanation not only saved their reputation, but also helped them advertise in an alternative way.
After listening to this explanation, the two people who first asked Gu Zheng looked at each other, and there was still some doubt in their eyes, and one of them couldn't help but ask again: "Master Gu Zheng, I have also gone to Shaxian to eat the most normal mixed noodles and flat food, but the mixed noodles and flat food in this store are really delicious, and I feel that it is much stronger than what I have eaten in Shaxian before, will the influence of the ingredients be so great?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another person nodded, and when he saw Gu Zheng looking at them, he quickly explained: "Master Gu Zheng, we don't mean anything else." We are from Huancheng, because we saw a food review to know that Zeqiu has no less than Shaxian snacks of food, so we made a special trip here, what do you think, what kind of ingredients make the noodles and flat food, is the most delicious?"
When he said this, he thought that Gu Zheng had only eaten a small bite before, and the gap in ingredients was really so big?
The same questions that plagued the other diners were what kind of ingredients would be recognized by the master who won the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition.
Even the boss nodded and asked curiously, "Yes, Master Gu Zheng, what kind of ingredients do you think I should use to make my bibifacial flat food more delicious." β
I have to say that the owner of this small shop is also very business-minded, he is now asking Gu Zheng for advice, go back and try it again, if it is really as Gu Zheng said that you can make more delicious noodles with better ingredients, then he will go back and change it, and choose the ingredients that Gu Zheng said, so that he can also use Gu Zheng's fame to give himself another wave of advertising.
Gu Zheng didn't rush to answer, but glanced at the two diners who took the initiative to speak.
The Deep Sea Shark is a native of Huancheng, and the food review he wrote about this small shop's noodles and flat food was published in the Huancheng Food Journal. The food review that these two people are talking about should be the one written by the deep-sea shark.
Huancheng is not close to Zeqiu County, nearly twice the distance than Shencheng. Because of a food review, it took three or four hours to rush from Huancheng to Zeqiu, and it can be seen that these two are also senior food lovers.
The words of the two of them can be regarded as asking the point.
Seeing that everyone wanted to know, Gu Zheng no longer hesitated, and commented generously.
"In addition to your own cooking skills and seasonings, the most important thing is the choice of noodles and flat food. First of all, let's talk about the dough of this noodle and flat food, the raw materials are flour, and the importance of this ingredient is also reflected in the flour. β
"The noodles and flat skin used in this shop should be the kind of mechanical flour commonly sold on the market, and the machinery is responsible for grinding wheat flour, the advantage of mechanical flour is that it is trouble-free, and it is convenient and fast, and no one needs to worry too much, and a large amount of flour can be ground quickly. But the disadvantage is that the flour milled by machinery is too fast, and it is not easy to preserve some nutrients in wheat, and because the machine cannot be manually selected, the flour milled will be different in the microscopic level, which affects the strength of the final noodles. But in the case of traditional stone-ground flour, the opposite is true. β
"The vulgar grinding of stone-ground flour can not only preserve most of the nutrients in the wheat, but also the flour can well preserve the maximum nutrients of the original wheat raw materials, whether it is made into noodles or flat skins, and it is more powerful. Of course, there are different types of wheat that are milled into flour, and there are differences in the amount of flour that is milled. If it is the flour that is milled from the traditional stone mill of the famous alpine rice, then the final noodles and flat skin will be more chewy and delicious, full of strength, and full of the delicious taste of the Q bomb explosion. β
"With that said, let's talk about the stuffing of this flat food. If you want to make the best noodles and flat food, the best choice is the Iberian black pig, which is the best Iberian black pork from Spain. β
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, there was already silence in the small shop, and many people grew their mouths, and they couldn't imagine that just noodles and flat skin fillings would have so much attention.
The owner of the small shop smiled bitterly, he knew that the alpine rice and wheat, this kind of wheat has the nickname of gold in the wheat, the annual output is not much, the price is extremely high, the noodles or dough made by grinding and processing this kind of wheat can only be used by big hotels, how can he use such expensive ingredients in a small shop that makes snacks.
Not to mention the Spanish Iberian black pork, this kind of pork, to be honest, he has never heard of it, but he doesn't have to think about it to know that the price of this pork must be expensive, and it is not at all what he can consume.
Now, the owner of the small shop can understand why Gu Zheng was reluctant to explain more about the reasons why the ingredients were not good.
If you want to choose the ingredients mentioned by Gu Zheng, it is the most authentic and best Shaxian snack bar, and you don't dare to choose such ingredients, otherwise, the cost alone will only cost thousands of yuan.
Think about it, if a bowl of bibimen flat food, which sells for a few yuan itself, suddenly sells for thousands of yuan a bowl, it won't scare away all the diners who come to eat.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Gu Zheng spread his hands, and finally didn't forget to say a good word for the owner of the small shop: "As a classic food in Shaxian snacks, the main thing is that it is delicious and affordable. If you really use noodles and dough milled from high mountain rice and wheat, and flat food stuffing supported by Iberian black pork, the price of a bowl of mixed noodles and flat food is enough to scare off most people. β
When he said this, Gu Zheng suddenly thought of Chang Feng. Fortunately, Chang Feng is not here today, otherwise hearing his words, he would definitely be unable to help but beg him to make a bowl of mixed noodles with these ingredients. For Changfeng, as long as it is delicious enough, the price is not a problem.
Wait a minute!
Gu Zheng suddenly had an epiphany, if he came to find the ingredients for the owner of this shop, and then made the mixed noodles and flat food, would it also pass the test of the machine spirit?
Aside from the influence of the ingredients, the owner's cooking skills in making bibimen and flat noodles are fully in line with the criteria for passing the machine spirit test.
"Of course not, the most important thing in the test task is to dig and find it yourself, and only the food they make can pass the test. β
The machine spirit's answer came quickly, and it was no surprise that the idea of the ancient controversy was dismissed.
Gu Zheng is not lost, this kind of idea itself belongs to stealing and cheating, and he has no hope.
"Boss, I'm really sorry for the trouble. β
Now that everything has been explained clearly, there is no need for Gu Zheng to stay here any longer, apologize for the trouble he caused, and prepare to leave.
"It's okay, it's okay. β
The shopkeeper was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand.
Not long after leaving the shop, Gu Zhengdu hadn't walked back to his car when he heard someone shouting behind him.
"Master Gu Zheng, please wait!"
Looking back, Gu Zheng realized that it was the two diners who had taken the initiative to ask questions in the snack bar just now, and they also followed.
These two people rushed all the way, and when they saw Gu Zheng stop, they breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't say a word for a long time when they were out of breath.
Gu Zheng was quite surprised to see that the two of them could catch up, after he left the small shop, although he walked normally, but the speed was much faster than ordinary people running, and it was not easy for these two people to catch up with him.
After the two of them were gasping a little more evenly, Gu Zheng asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Master Gu Zheng, you are walking so fast, we almost can't catch up with you. One of them wiped his forehead, and quickly squeezed a smile at Gu Zheng, and introduced himself: "I forgot to introduce myself just now, my name is Zhao Pingchuan, and this is my younger brother Zhao Pingshan next to me, I'm really sorry to disturb Master Gu Zheng." β
Next to him, his younger brother Zhao Pingshan hurriedly added: "It is also a blessing for our brothers to meet Master Gu Zheng here, so we would like to invite you to go to Huancheng and be a guest at our house." β
"Going to your house as a guest?" Gu Zheng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the brothers to chase after him for this.
But after thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand the intentions of the two of them.
They can rush from Huancheng to Qiuze County for a piece of food reviews, and they are naturally veritable foodies, since they accidentally discovered the ancient controversy here, with their pursuit of food, how can they be willing to give up such a good opportunity.
As long as they can invite Gu Zheng back, Gu Zheng will show his hands casually, which is enough for them to have endless aftertaste.
But it's a pity that Gu Zheng is also because he heard that the noodles made by the store before are more delicious than the noodles in the authentic Shaxian snacks.
Huancheng is close to the inland sea, it is an industrial port city, and there is no famous special food, otherwise, Gu Zheng would not mind being invited by them to go to Huancheng.
"I'm sorry, I have other things to do, I don't have time to go around the city for a while, thank you for your kindness. β
Gu Zheng shook his head and politely declined their invitation.
"But ......"
Zhao Pingchuan was still a little unwilling, and he wanted to say something, but Gu Zheng raised his hand to stop him, and at the same time pointed to the car parked next to the road on the other side and said, "There are still people waiting for me over there, so I will not accompany me." β
Gu Zheng came to Zeqiu County by chartered car, and the driver was still waiting for him in the car, and now he rushed back, and he could return to Shencheng before dark.
Seeing that Gu Zheng had no intention of accepting their invitation, Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan were both very disappointed.
But Gu Zheng has already refused, and it is not easy for them to catch up and say anything, after all, Gu Zheng is not familiar with them, and it is normal to refuse their invitation.
"Brother, I finally met Master Gu Zheng, did you just watch him leave?" Zhao Pingshan looked annoyed and looked at his brother.
Zhao Pingchuan also had no choice, and sighed: "Otherwise, what else can we do, we are too reckless, you said that we don't know the master of Gu Zheng with others, so we rushed over to invite others, and it is strange that people can agree." β
Zhao Pingshan also shook his head, but he didn't know what to think of, he showed a greedy look, and said to himself: "But after listening to Master Gu Zheng's comments on that snack bar just now, I finally know why the noodles sold by Lejia Snacks in Qisong County are so delicious." β
These words also aroused Zhao Pingchuan's appetite, he clicked his mouth, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, I didn't understand before, why there is such a delicious bibifacial flat food in such a broken place in Qisong County." Now that I think about it, it must be that the owner of the Lejia snack bar uses different ingredients. β
"Brother, you say, will the ingredients used in Lejia's snacks be the alpine rice and the Iberian black pork that Master Gu Zheng said?"
"How is that possible! Didn't you just hear Master Gu Zheng say that if you use ingredients like alpine rice and Iberian black pork, a bowl of mixed noodles and flat food will sell for at least a thousand yuan. Let's not talk about what kind of ingredients they use, let's just say that Qisong County is such a poor place, can anyone afford to buy ingredients like Iberian black pork and alpine rice?"
"That's right, if only Master Gu Zheng was willing to accept our invitation, and then take him to taste it, and then you will know what kind of ingredients are used in the noodles and flat dishes made by that small shop. β
The two of them talked quietly and walked back together, but neither of them noticed that Gu Zheng, who had already walked to the side of the road and was about to get into the car, stopped abruptly.
Lejia snacks in Qisong County?
It's even better than the bibimbal flat food made by the owner of the snack bar just now?
The most quickly extracted the key points of their conversation, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up.
The cooking skills of the owner of this snack bar in Zeqiu County have been deeply rooted in the essence of the Shaxian snack method of mixed noodles and flat food, in addition to improving the ingredients, it is difficult to improve the taste, and it can be more delicious than the mixed noodles made by the owner of the snack bar, which can only be improved in the ingredients.
Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pinghu don't look like professional food critics, and if ordinary foodies like them can clearly feel the advantages and disadvantages of the taste, it is enough to show that the ingredients used in the preparation of the Lejia snacks in their mouths are at least two grades higher than the ingredients used by the owner of the small shop.
The owner of the small shop used junk ingredients, which were inferior ingredients two levels higher, and the inferior ingredients on the market were just a little more expensive and not impossible to buy, but this just met the minimum requirements for ingredients for the machine spirit test task.
Although I don't know what kind of ingredients are used in this Lejia snack bar, Gu Zheng still has a strong interest in this Lejia snack bar all of a sudden.
Signaling the driver to wait for him a little longer, the strange man turned around and caught up with the two brothers.
"Wait a minute, two!"
Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan didn't expect that Gu Zheng would turn around and stop them, and they were surprised.
"Master Gu Zheng, have you changed your attention?" Zhao Pingchuan was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, thinking that Gu Zheng had changed his mind and was willing to go to their house as a guest.
Gu Zheng hurriedly shook his head, he was just interested in the Lejia snacks in Qisong County, but he didn't plan to go to Huancheng, so he hurriedly asked: "I heard you just now say that there is a place called Lejia snacks in Qisong County, and the noodles and flat food made are even more delicious than those made by the small shop just now, is it true?"
