Chapter 319: The Feast

The main ingredients, salt and water, the stone cooking is the same as Gu Zheng, as for the things he has more than Gu Zheng, they are: produced in Shu Ruins, the grade is ordinary pheasant, pork and pork bones of small fragrant pigs, and some ginger and green onions, some wolfberries and red dates. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The bones and meat of pheasants and small fragrant pigs, Gu Zheng understood that the stone cooker was going to use them to hang the soup. And ginger and green onions, after Gu Zheng saw it, he sighed secretly.

For the quality of ingredients, ordinary people can only judge by experience, and it is impossible to have an extremely accurate tool to judge the grade of ingredients like Gu Zheng. The ginger and green onion used in the stone cooking are of inferior grade in one grade, and the other grade is inferior!

In the case that the main ingredient is ordinary, an auxiliary material such as green onion and ginger can be inferior, as long as it is handled properly, not only will it not lower the taste of the food, but also play a role in covering up and enhancing the flavor.

But if the grade of the ingredients is ordinary, and the grade of the onion and ginger accessories is only low, this will have some counterproductive effects, and it is better not to use it.

As for the grade of wolfberry and red dates, one is inferior, the other is ordinary, put these two things in the soup, it is regarded as the two medicinal materials commonly used in soup in the world, and it plays a role in food supplementation. There is no ordinary person in the small circle to learn, they are really put.

The traditional method of stone cooking is to first hang the soup with pheasant, small fragrant pork, pork bones, ginger slices, red dates, and wolfberries, and then put various main ingredients, at intervals, into the broth in the clay pot and stew.

Holding the hot clay pot with both hands, the stone cooker began to cook with internal energy. Later, at the right time, he added salt and green onions.

Gu Zheng's processing of ingredients takes a little longer, and he blanches eight kinds of mushrooms, which should be broiled, steamed, pickled, and blanched.

After finishing the processing of the ingredients, Gu Zheng put the mushrooms into the clay pot at the right water temperature, and put them in the same order, and put in the salt at the same right time. And during this process, Gu Zheng has been watching the fire carefully, and from time to time he snorts and savors the fragrance in the clay pot, so as to make judgments and operate in this way, so as to make up for the disadvantages caused by not using immortal arts.

Gu Zheng paid attention to the fragrance in the clay pot, and his nostrils inevitably penetrated the fragrance of the stone cook's 'mushroom soup'.

The 'mushroom soup' of the stone cooker has been prepared and has entered the heat preservation stage. However, he didn't bother, just quietly looked at Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng's 'mushroom soup' has not yet been done, and from time to time, he relies on the recipe of gluttony to bring out trace substances in the soup that can affect the taste.

When I used immortal magic before, it was very simple to get rid of trace substances, and Gu Zheng could use water control to sink these things to the bottom of the pot, and finally just don't need the soup at the bottom of the pot. Or use water control to let them attach to the soup noodles, and then Gu Zheng will serve them. And this kind of operation will naturally not be like the current Gu Zheng, which requires frequent use of spoons.

The fragrance wafts out of the ancient clay pot, which is different from the aroma of the 'mushroom soup' of the stone cook, which makes everyone in the kitchen fan their noses.

"Master Gu, why did you serve soup so often just now? There is no foam in the soup!"

"Master Gu, why don't you use your internal strength?"

Seeing that Gu Zheng's 'mushroom soup' had also been made, Shi Wei and Chen San immediately asked.

"The purpose of serving the soup frequently is to make it taste more delicious. If I don't use internal strength, I want to challenge myself!"

When Gu Zheng answered him, he put the mushroom soup made by the two together.

"Master Gu, now that the two soups have been prepared, let's let the people in this room, who will be the referee?" Shi Wei asked.

"For the sake of fairness, don't let the people in the room be the judges, what do you think?" asked Gu Zheng rhetorically.

"Yes, there are disciples outside who are in charge of serving food today, and they usually don't come to the kitchen, they are temporarily dispatched. How about we call three people in, and then win two out of three?" Shi Wei said.

"Well, that's what I mean!"

After Gu Zheng came down, he and Shi Wei came outside the kitchen together and called the three Shushan disciples who were on standby to come in.

"Taste the mushroom soup here, which one is more delicious?"

Shi Wei gave the mushroom soup served by the two of them to the three disciples of the dish.

The three disciples ate at the same time, and after the surprise flashed across their faces, they devoured it all the way.

"Which mushroom soup is tastier?"

Shi Wei asked the first disciple to pass the dish.

"It's all delicious, and it's finished before I have eaten enough. The disciple of the dishman said regretfully.

Shi Wei rolled his eyes: "I must name the most delicious one!"

"This bowl is the tastiest!"

The bowl picked up by the disciple represents the mushroom soup made by Gu Zheng.

"Why is this bowl delicious?" said Shi Wei.

"I can't describe it, it's the tastiest anyway. The disciple scratched his head and said.

"What about you?"

With an unhappy stone cook, he asked the second disciple who passed the dish.

"I think this bowl is the tastiest, too!"

The bowl picked up by the second disciple also contained Gu Zheng mushroom soup.

"Why?" Shi Wei was a little anxious.

"It's over before I can taste it, why don't Shi Chef bring me two more bowls, and I'll taste it?" said the second disciple with a hippie smile.

"Good!"

It stands to reason that Shi Wei shouldn't show that he cares, let alone give him a second chance, after all, the disciple has already given an answer.

However, Gu Zhengdu just crossed his arms and smiled, which made Deacon Hu, who wanted to say something, only keep his mouth shut.

"It's delicious!"

After two bowls of mushroom soup, the disciple licked his lips unsatisfied, and then solemnly raised the bowl containing the mushroom soup: "This is still the best, as for the reason, I can't say well, I can only say that it gives me a feeling, like walking in the mountains and forests under the scorching sun, which feels very wonderful." ”

"Forget it!"

Seeing that Shi Wei was even more hot, Chen San pulled his sleeve. According to the rule of two wins in three games, Shi Wei has already lost, and there is no need to let the third disciple speak. If the third disciple said that the food he made was delicious and he could save a little face, but if the third disciple still said that Gu Zheng's mushroom soup was more delicious, it would be as embarrassing as it was.

"No!"

Shi Wei said a word persistently, and then asked the third disciple: "It's your turn!"

The third disciple who passed the vegetables, just wanted to lift the bowl containing the Gu Zheng mushroom soup in his hand, but when he saw Shi Xuan's wide eyes, he quickly put it down again.

"It's okay, you just tell the truth!" Deacon Hu finally spoke.

"I also think this bowl is the most delicious!"

The third disciple who passed the dish still lifted the bowl he wanted to lift in the first place.

"Alright, you can get out!"

Deacon Hu asked the three disciples to leave, and then looked at Shi Wei: "Shi Chef, it's not good for you to be unrestrained like this! ”

"That's what Deacon Hu said!"

Although he said this, the stone cook quickly filled a bowl of mushroom soup made by Gu Zheng.

"Gu Zhangmen, according to the agreement, I lost the stone cooking, but the radish and cabbage have their own love, and I am a little unconvinced!

After tasting the mushroom soup, I really feel that the mushroom soup made by Gu Zheng is a little worse than his.

"It's free to compete with the stone chef again, and there is still something to do today!"

Originally, it was to reduce the strength to compete, but who would have thought that he would meet a strange person who was willing to poison and refused to admit defeat! With this kind of person, Gu Zheng naturally would not compete with him again, and even canceled his plan to taste what his mushroom soup tasted like.

"Oh, I see!"

Shi Wei's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he immediately told Chen San something in his ear.

Gu Zheng laughed secretly, and after Shi Wei finished speaking, he said to Chen San: "Chef Chen, can we start our discussion?"

When encountering a chef like Shi Wei who has a bad character, in fact, Gu Zheng no longer wants to compete with Chef Chen, after all, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black!

"Yes, but I have one condition, next time I won't choose these vegetable disciples to taste, they are all laymen! This time, the referee will only find one, how about choosing Elder Meng?" Shi Wei said.

Elder Meng of Shushan can be regarded as the most delicious elder, although Gu Zheng has never seen this person, he can be regarded as having heard people mention him, and he has even done things that have something to do with him.

At the beginning, Gu Zheng and Luo Xiao went to the back mountain of Shu Mountain, and the colorful feather feather egg they took was ordered by Elder Meng from Elder Feng.

"Yes. ”

After Gu Zheng came down, he looked at Deacon Hu: "It seems that this matter is going to trouble Deacon Hu!"

"You're welcome, Master Gu, my mission today is to serve you! I'm going to invite Elder Meng here, he will definitely be very interested in this kind of thing. ”

After Deacon Hu left, Gu Zheng and Chen San immediately made their own preparations.

At the beginning of the mountain behind Shushan, the purple harvested by Gu Zheng was not visible, and it was given to Shushan a lot. The purple color distributed to Shushan was not visible, and most of it fell into the hands of Elder Feng, who used the spring water from the veins to make the sour bamboo shoots on the ingredient list of the closing banquet now.

The meat used in 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' is not ordinary pork or beef, but a leg meat from a kind of Shu ruins, called 'Walking Bird'.

The grade of the ingredients of the sour bamboo shoots is ordinary, and the meat of the drowning bird is also ordinary, when Gu Zheng originally ordered it from the list of ingredients, he also ordered the sour soup of the sour bamboo shoots, as well as some oil on the dreak bird.

Although the Ground Walking Bird is a spirit animal, it is not the first time for Chen San to cook, and he is still very confident in controlling this kind of ingredient.

Before the competition, Chen San said that among the ingredients used in Gu Zheng, there are two kinds of auxiliary materials, and he doesn't use these two auxiliary materials, he uses the auxiliary materials that he thinks are better. And the two excipients he refers to are the sour soup of sour bamboo shoots, and some reticulated oils in the stomach of the earthly bird.

Chen San didn't need to soak the soup of sour bamboo shoots and the oil of the earthly birds, this was because he didn't have enough ability to understand these two things! In his opinion, the soup of sour bamboo shoots tasted very sour, and it also had a strange taste! He didn't know what Gu Zheng was doing with the soup of sour bamboo shoots, anyway, he felt that this thing was not suitable for this dish at all.

As for the oil of the earthwalker, although the reticulated oil is a little more special, it looks extraordinarily white and tender, as if it is semi-liquid. However, this oil is full of a kind of body odor of a chopbo, which really makes people feel that it is not suitable for high-quality dishes.

Gu Zheng was dealing with the ingredients, he knew that Chen San was watching him, and he also knew that Chen San didn't use sour soup and chocobird oil, it was because he couldn't control these two unconventional accessories. The accessories used by Chen San are more abundant than those used in stone cooking.

Flour, oil, green and red peppers, minced garlic, starch.

The excipients used by Chen San don't sound too much, but after the analysis of the instrument, the powder alone contains: Sichuan pepper, dried ginger, cinnamon, good ginger, star anise, kaempa, cumin, cardamom, array skin, angelica, wood, cloves, grass and fruit These spices.

When he first heard the analysis of the machine spirit, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh a little, Shushan is a famous sect in the end, although cultivators usually don't have high requirements for appetite, but there are these spices in the kitchen that are of good grade, which is really not something that ordinary people can make up.

The green and red peppers and sour bamboo shoots are shredded, and the bird meat is boiled in the broth and then torn into shredded meat along the texture.

Put oil in the pan, heat the oil, add the bird meat and fry until it changes color, then remove it.

With the remaining oil in the pot, stir-fry the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the green and red pepper shreds and sour bamboo shoots and fry until they are broken, and then pour the previously fried bird meat into the back shreds and stir-fry evenly. During this period of cooking, Chen San's internal strength penetrated into the pot many times and acted on the ingredients.

As for Gu Zheng's side, it also took a lot of time to process the ingredients.

The meat is boiled and torn into shreds, then soaked for a while in a sour bamboo shoot soup that has been boiled and broken.

The sour soup soaked in the meat of the birds, Gu Zheng had already treated it with trace substances in the process of boiling, so that when it was really boiling, the people in the kitchen were inhaling their noses hard, deeply experiencing the kind of awakening, but not choking, smelling the sour fragrance that made people want to drool!

The purple color is not visible, it was originally discovered by Gu Zheng, and the method of using it to make sour bamboo shoots was also the Elder Feng he informed, so he had Chen San's incomparable understanding of the role of sour bamboo shoot soup.

After the meat of the birds was processed, Gu Zheng refined the semi-liquid oil of the birds, during which the trace substances were also treated, so that the traces that belonged to the body odor of the birds disappeared completely, and there was only one that could not be said to be fragrant.

Stir-fry the soaked bird meat with bird oil, just fry it for a while, and then Gu Zheng poured in the sour bamboo shoots and stir-fried them together. Sour bamboo shoots are already salty, so there is no need to re-salt them.

Without the water control decision and fire control trick to be used, Gu Zheng can only work harder on the control of the fire.

There was a sour fragrance in the pot, and the smell was stronger than what Chen San had done before, and it made people's stomachs gurgle when they smelled it.

Finally, the dish was ready, and the cooks who were originally busy with their work also stopped what they were doing at this time and looked at Elder Meng, who was about to start tasting.

Elder Meng had already arrived, but he saw that Gu Zheng and Chen San were concentrating on cooking, so he didn't bother. At this time, seeing that Gu Zheng's 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' had also been completed, he said: "I have been tortured by the sour taste for a long time, and now I can finally taste the deliciousness!"

Without saying anything more, Elder Meng, whose voice had landed, walked straight towards the 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' that Chen San had made.

"Elder Meng, you better taste the Gu Master's dishes first, after all, he is a guest. ”

Chen San remembered Shi Wei's explanation, what Shi Wei had told him before, that is, the dishes that were tasted first were more disadvantaged.

In fact, Shi Wei was right to tell Chen San like this, after all, this is not a professional food review, a professional food review, the judges only taste a little bit of a dish, and they will immediately taste the next dish.

However, the previous three disciples had all finished eating one dish and then another! There were a lot of things to eat, and there was a time gap, which made it easy for people to be impressed only by the second dish.

Elder Meng glanced at Shi Wei with a strange expression, as if he understood what Shi Wei was thinking, shook his head and smiled, and walked towards the 'sour bamboo shoots fried meat' made by Gu Zheng.

"If from a critical point of view, the color in the color and fragrance, the 'sour bamboo shoots fried meat' made by the ancient master is a little second, after all, there is no green and red pepper shreds in it, and it looks too plain. The color and taste of the food are different, and the color is still relatively bright, which can arouse people's appetite more. ”

"However, this has little impact on my final evaluation, after all, this is not a too professional review, and there are many other factors in it, such as the fact that Gu Zhangmen did not even use internal strength, the number of ingredients used, etc., so the color was affected a little, which is normal. ”

Elder Meng would actually start commenting on the color, Gu Zheng didn't expect it before. And Chen San, who was originally a little stressed because Shi Wei lost the competition, had a soothing expression on his face after listening to this inconsequential comment.

Elder Meng picked up the plate of 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' from Gu Zheng, sniffed it lightly and closed his eyes, as if he had taken a sip of wine and was savoring the taste of the wine.

"Sour, a very transparent acid, with a different fragrance in it. ”

After Elder Meng commented on the incense, he picked up the chopsticks and added a trace of sour bamboo shoots to his mouth, and after chewing it, he spoke again: "I have eaten the sour bamboo shoots of Lao Feng Pao, and the taste is not to be said. The sour bamboo shoots in Gu Zhangmen's poured dish taste better than what I have tasted, but it is not amazing. ”

Elder Meng's evaluation, Gu Zheng agreed, there is no need to use immortal arts, the taste of sour bamboo shoots can be improved a little, in a mixed dish, it is already good. After all, stir-fried vegetables are no better than stewed soup, and on the premise of not using immortal arts, it is difficult for Gu Zheng to get rid of some trace substances that can affect the taste.

After tasting the sour bamboo shoots, when Elder Meng picked up a trace of the meat of the birds, he added: "The oil used by the ancient master for stir-frying is actually the oil of the birds, and there is no bad taste in the sour bamboo shoots I tasted just now, although this is expected, I still admire it a little." ”

When the words landed, Elder Meng put the meat of the earthly bird in his mouth.

At the entrance of the earthly bird meat, Elder Meng's expression still did not change, but when he began to chew, his eyes opened wider and wider, and the frequency of chewing became faster and faster.

After eating a bite of meat, Elder Meng's face was full of amazement.

"Sure enough, the most brilliant part of 'Stir-fried Pork with Sour Bamboo Shoots' is in the Bird Meat! I have also eaten the Bird Meat before, and this kind of meat that needs to be torn into shreds to eat usually has a woody taste, and this taste is not very wonderful. ”

"The earthly bird oil used by the ancient master, the appearance of the ingredients is less contaminated, but the inside of the meat is a little more, this different change makes the original taste of firewood become much more fragrant and tender, and therefore more delicious!"

"In addition, the sour bird meat cooked in sour soup makes the original aroma and tenderness due to the change of oil quality more prominent, and therefore has a kind of sour taste that is transparent but not offensive!

Elder Meng paused, and then looked at the other cooks: "Is the rice steamed?"

"It's almost done. A cook replied.

"Okay, wait for this plate of 'stir-fried pork with sour bamboo shoots' from Gu Zhangmen, I want to enjoy it with rice, this must be a wonderful experience!"

Elder Meng looked forward to the subsequent experience, and after quickly rinsing his mouth, he picked up the 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' made by Chen San.

"I won't comment on the color, as for this fragrance, it was originally very good, but compared with the ancient master, it is obviously worse, and the sense of transparency is insufficient!"

While Elder Meng shook his head, he put a trace of sour bamboo shoots in his mouth, and frowned as he ate it.

Without any comments, Elder Meng put a trace of bird meat in his mouth, stretching his neck, obviously difficult to swallow, and Chen San wanted to cry when he saw it.

"Chef Chen, the 'stir-fried pork with sour bamboo shoots' you made is also pretty good, at least I can feel that you have made this dish very carefully. The taste of spices into the meat is also very good, but in essence, the taste is still firewood, and under the influence of the two ingredients, the feeling of sourness after entering the meat is even more different from what Gu Zhangmen did! I won't say more, you can taste what Gu Zhangmen made yourself, and you will understand the difference. ”

Elder Meng was already very face-saving for Chen San, when he ate sour bamboo shoots just now, he was fine, but when he ate the meat of the birds, he almost couldn't help but spit it out into the trash, it was really better than people to die, and goods had to be thrown away!

Chen San didn't question Elder Meng's words, but he still tasted the 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' made by Gu Zheng.

"Master Gu, I lost, I'm convinced!"

After tasting 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots', Chen San's face was full of loss.

Gu Zheng's 'sour bamboo shoots fried meat' has made a big breakthrough, and it is still a breakthrough in a good way, compared with Gu Zheng's 'sour bamboo shoots fried meat', what he did seems to be very mediocre, this is the feeling in Chen San's heart.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything, just nodded.

In fact, whether it is Chen San or Shi Wei, their cooking skills are also good, but it is still the same sentence, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

"Elder Meng, you can taste it, this is the 'mushroom soup' that I made with Gu Master before, and it's still warm!" Shi Wei smiled at Elder Meng with a flattering smile.

"Don't you say I'll taste it too, there are dishes and soups, and my meal will be perfect. ”

Elder Meng paused, and then looked at Shi Wei with a smile: "Who do you want me to taste first?"

Shi Wei was embarrassed, but he still insisted on his thoughts: "Let's try Gu Zhang's first!"

"Huh. ”

Elder Meng smiled and took out the 'mushroom soup' made by the two of them from the clay pot.

"First of all, in terms of color, the 'mushroom soup' made by Gu Zhangmen only has all kinds of mushrooms. The 'mushroom soup' made by the stone kitchen has red dates, wolfberries and green onions floating in it. This color is not better than the color of 'sour bamboo shoots fried meat', 'sour bamboo shoots fried meat' is a meat dish, the color is bright, it's good, but the 'mushroom soup' is a pure mountain vegetarian dish, the green onion you put in it, first of all, it makes me feel that it is a failure, all of a sudden there is no aura, I feel vulgar!

Elder Meng just commented, and Shi Wei's face was already wrinkled like a bitter melon.

"Elder Meng commented from the point of view of vegetarian dishes, so I am afraid that the soup I hung out with my heart will backfire. Shi Wei said in his heart.

In the 'Mushroom Soup', there were eight kinds of mushrooms shared, and Elder Meng tasted a little bit of each, and the expression on his face also changed with the taste of different mushrooms.

There was no comment on the mushrooms for the time being, and after eating the mushrooms, Elder Meng took another sip of soup before speaking.

"Although I didn't see how Gu Zhangmen made 'mushroom soup', I ate different ingredients from the taste of mushrooms, including steaming and roasting, with a variety of patterns, and the taste is also very good. ”

"As for the soup, the wonderful taste of the eight kinds of mushrooms is like a spring rain, and it makes people feel that the world is a lot fresher. ”

"This soup dish is very good, but its amazing degree is not as good as the previous 'stir-fried pork with sour bamboo shoots'! However, it also has remarkable points, at least the mushrooms in it, to a large extent, retain their respective flavors, so that a dish has a variety of textures!"

After commenting on Gu Zheng's 'mushroom soup', Elder Meng picked up the mushroom soup from the stone cooker again.

If only in terms of smell, the aroma of the 'mushroom soup' of the stone cooker is more intense than that of the ancient contention.

"Shi Chef, I also love to eat meat, even if I don't have meat without it! But when I am used to eating meat, a vegetarian food with a unique taste suddenly appears, which will still make people's appetite move. Your soup is very fragrant, but it is not as pure as Gu Zhang's. ”

Commenting on the taste of the 'mushroom soup' in the stone cook, Elder Meng tasted the taste of eight kinds of mushrooms and soup in turn.

"Shi Chef, you also put your heart into it, whether it is through the order of putting it in succession, or through the control of internal strength, your initial starting point is to make the taste of the mushroom itself be preserved to the greatest extent. However, in this regard, you are not as good as Gu Zhangmen, the taste of the mushrooms themselves is still retained, but it has not yet departed from the characteristics of 'one pot stew', and the texture and taste of two or three kinds of mushrooms, if you do not experience them carefully, are almost the same! Originally, their tastes were not so difficult to distinguish, but the broth blurred them, or rather, unified them. ”

"As for the taste of the soup, under normal circumstances, I don't say anything, but it depends on who it compares to. So, I think it's still delicious made by Gu Zhangmen!"

Elder Meng's voice fell to the ground, and he took the lead in applauding the ancient dispute, and there was a burst of applause in the kitchen.

Gu Zheng clasped his fists at everyone, and then said two polite words, and then began the busy closing banquet.

Shi Wei was still a little unconvinced, but he also knew that this discussion was over.

"Rice, where is the rice? The old man is about to start eating, 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' and 'mushroom soup', I can't wait!"

The cooks didn't dare to let Elder Meng wait any longer, and hurriedly served hot white rice.

Looking at the fragrant food that Elder Meng ate, many cooks also secretly swallowed their saliva, fantasizing about what kind of experience it would be like to have a plate of 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots', a bowl of 'mushroom soup', and a bowl of fragrant white rice.

"Cool, it's delicious!"

The one that Elder Meng eats is called a sweet one, and the one is called a happy one, and finally some cooks can't help it.

"Master Gu, can you make some dishes and soups like this later, so that we can taste them too?"

"That's right, Master Gu, I'm sorry for you!"

One cook took the lead in speaking, and immediately several other cooks chimed in.

Under normal circumstances, the cook is not bad at eating! But who let Gu Zheng make these 'mushroom soup' and 'stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots' that they can't make? What's even more tragic is that they are not on the banquet list for the closing banquet, so if they want to enjoy the delicious food that Elder Meng is enjoying now, there is no other way but to beg for the guzheng.

"Well...... this" Gu Zheng stretched out his voice, and then smiled and said, "Of course I didn't ask him!"

"Thank you Gu, thank you Gu!"

The cheers suddenly rang out, and Gu Zheng was naturally very happy, a group of cooks begged another cook to make food, which was quite interesting to think about.

"That's right, Xiao Zhengzi, I really let you win this competition. The voice of the machine spirit rang out.

"Please, can you be normal?"

Gu Zheng was full of black lines, and Xuan Qizi's name for him was actually used by the machine spirit.

"Giggles, that's a pretty good name, do you have such a big reaction, you're doing a good job today, keep it up!" said the machine spirit happily.

The recent changes in the machine spirit are really not small, in addition to the changes on the surface, every time she talks to Gu Zheng, if she doesn't want to talk about it anymore, she will have a feeling of drifting away like her happy voice just now, so as to let Gu Zheng understand that she is retreating.

"Why do you always have a feeling that this guy seems to have ulterior motives for my competition with Shi Wei and Chen San?" Gu Zheng secretly paid, and then shook his head and stopped thinking about it, anyway, similar questions, Ji Ling didn't say it directly, and he asked in vain.

In the evening, Shushan banquet living room.

In the festive atmosphere of the lanterns, the thirty tables in the banquet room were already filled.

Near the opening of the table, Qin Haotian, the head of Shushan, began to speak.

"The dinner is to celebrate, and we have harvested the cultivation resources for the next few years from the Shu Ruins, so that we can not be so difficult in this era of the end of the law. ”

"This year's Shu Ruins opened, a lot of things happened, and some of them disciples will never appear again! However, they can also be regarded as a well-deserved death, a worthy death, they paid their lives for us to live better! So today's first glass of wine, let's salute those disciples who died in Shu Ruins!"

After Qin Haotian and everyone raised their glasses together, they all poured the wine on the ground.

"Today's second glass of wine, let's pay tribute to the people who came out of the ruins of Shu alive! On the way to the blood soul, they have more or less made efforts, they are all heroes, and they are also models of the righteous path in the world!"

Qin Haotian's words landed, Gu Zheng and the others all stood up, and after everyone respected each other, they drank the second glass of wine.

"The third glass of wine is a wish wine, I won't say too many congratulations, I just hope that Shushan will coexist and prosper in the world!"

The crowd raised their glasses again and drank a third glass of wine.

"Let's have a feast!"

Qin Haotian gave an order, and the musicians in the banquet room played a piece of music with strong ancient meaning. The disciples who passed the dishes were also immediately busy.

After that, there is a scene of eating, drinking, and bustling.

However, it is inevitable that some people will be happy and some will be sad. In fact, everyone already knows that after this Shuxu incident, Ziyun Palace will be even more powerful, and Emei, which has been at the bottom of the five branches for many years, will also rise because of this.

The dishes made by Shi Wei and Chen San are actually very good, if they participate in the food competition that Gu Zheng has participated in in the outside world, their ranking should be within the top fifteen, and the dishes they make have naturally won the praise of everyone. It's just that the finale dish that appeared afterwards made everyone's praise even more endless.

The next day, when it was close to noon, Chu Xiaochen came to find Gu Zheng.

Chu Xiaochen's memories have been 'weaved' by Gu Zheng, but there are some things she still remembers, she remembers that Gu Zheng helped her and was also her benefactor, but in this process, she was less moved, so that she would not be as different from Gu Zheng as before.

"Gu Zheng, I came to you this time, I have something to ask for. ”

The memory was changed, and Chu Xiaochen's expression when he spoke was much more normal, as if he was looking at a friend with a slightly better relationship.

"Say it!"

Gu Zheng said lightly, in fact, the purpose of Chu Xiaochen coming to him at this time, he had already guessed.

"The quota in the Spirit Sword District that Nagong can obtain, this time the only sects that have the ability to compete are the Purple Cloud Palace and the Emei Sect. I want to ask you to give up this competition and give up your place to the Purple Cloud Palace!" Chu Xiaochen said.

"Yes, then I will say to Elder Lin, who is in charge of registering the tribute, that Emei has given up his qualification to compete in the Spirit Sword District. ”

Since he had already guessed, Gu Zheng did not hesitate to agree.

When he first came to Shushan, Gu Zheng had a plan to get the quota of Nagong.

However, since the reward for killing the blood soul has already allowed Emei to have such a quota, then the quota that Nagong can get, Gu Zheng doesn't want it.

"Thank you. ”

After thanking Chu Xiaochen, he sent another invitation to Gu Zheng: "I'm going to go to the Spirit Sword District to try my luck now, do you want to join us?"

"I'm going to Hidden Sword Peak too, but to try my luck, I want to wait until the afternoon. Gu Zheng shirked.

Let Chu Xiaochen not be so moved, Gu Zheng just didn't want to get too close to him! Originally, according to Chu Xiaochen's current attitude, it would be nothing to go to Hidden Sword Peak together. However, at the closing banquet last night, Gu Zheng learned from an elder in Shushan that Chu Xiaochen's partner was a big vinegar jar, and he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Chu Xiaochen frowned: "Why did they all go to the Hidden Sword Peak, but they had to wait until the afternoon to go to the Spirit Sword District?"
