The idea of partnering up for 100,000 yuan made the crowd outside the store a little crazy, and many people began to look for partners, and Gu Zheng, who knew everything outside the store, showed a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What are you laughing at?" the machine spirit immediately asked.

"Didn't laugh at anything. "Gu Zheng is a serious way.

"I noticed you laughing, and I have a feeling that this laugh has something to do with me!" said the machine spirit as he glared at Gu Zheng.

"No, there really isn't!"

Gu Zheng explained very seriously, but he smiled happily in his heart: "As the saying goes, if there is a first time, there is a second time, hehehe......"

"Master, what they have come up with is a good idea!Shall we remind the other two people outside the strange shop?"

"No, it's not hard to think of this method, and those people outside the other two strange shops can think of it sooner or later. If you let them know now, the business will be too busy. "Gu Zhengdao.

Soon, the four people who had initially decided to partner together pooled the money and prepared the ingredients, and returned to the door of the strange shop again.

"There is a rule in the strange store that it is written that idle people are not allowed to enter, although we are making up the money, but I don't think it is possible to let the four of us enter the store. The fat man who initially proposed a partner said.

"The rules of the strange shop don't write about making money, what if there are special circumstances, let's ask!" said the young man of the four.

"There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, and I think it must be just one person to enter. Said the elder of the four.

"Let's ask first! If we really don't let the four of us go together, let's elect a representative!" said the middle-aged woman among the four.

"If you want to choose a representative, just choose me, I swear to God, I must be the most loyal to my partner!" the young man grinned.

"There's no need to discuss, you all come in!" Gu Zheng's voice sounded.

"How did you get them all in, aren't you afraid of trouble?" said the machine spirit, wrinkled.

"Don't be afraid, there are enough answers to the questions on the bulletin board of the Ruqi store, and there is no trouble to go. Gu Zheng laughed.

"It stands to reason that 100,000 yuan can only be paid by one person, since they took advantage of the rules of the strange store to make up 100,000 yuan, then you can do their business. However, if you let four people into the store, it's not just their questioning, they must all want to taste what your food tastes like! If you let all four people taste it, it's a rule-breaking thing!" reminded the machine spirit.

"Don't worry, I know!" Gu Zheng nodded.

"What the hell are you going to do? If you don't have a purpose, you won't let all four of them in, I suspect it has something to do with your previous sneer!"

The machine spirit fox looked at Gu Zheng suspiciously, she had not forgotten Gu Zheng's sinister smile before.

"Wait and see, won't you know when the time comes?" Gu Zheng said Guan Zi.

The four of them had already taken their seats, and Gu Zheng said: "Let the four of you come in, this is not a very proper thing! But since you have all come in, there is one thing I want to explain in advance, the food can only be tasted by one person, this is not negotiable, you decide to come up with a representative to taste the food!"

Seeing that Gu Zheng was resolute, the four of them did not 'bargain' because of this, and they quickly decided to delegate. This representative was not a young man who had been recommended by the door, but the fat man who had originally proposed the partnership.

After deciding on the representative, the four of them didn't have too many questions, and after they briefly asked Gu Zheng, the fat man put the prepared ingredients on the table.

"What do you think of these ingredients, shopkeeper?" said the fat man.

The fat man brought a lot of ingredients and accessories, but there was no violation of the rules.

"There is no problem with the ingredients, swear by it!" Gu Zheng said.

The fat man immediately swore an oath, and Gu Zheng also entered the kitchen with the ingredients and accessories.

"Master, what's the difficulty of cooking this time?" Butterfly Ling said curiously, looking at a large pile of ingredients.

"The quality of the ingredients is not high, which is a common phenomenon in the business we have received so far. The combination of various ingredients and accessories is also a common difficulty. In addition to these two points, the most difficult ingredient to deal with is the 'green black snake'. In addition to a certain toxicity, the taste of the green black snake is not good, although it is an ingredient, but generally no one eats it. With so much garbage and accessories, coupled with the difficult to handle green black snakes, this is why the guests think I can't make delicious food!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and began to process the ingredients. In the process of Gu Zheng processing the ingredients, someone knocked on the door of the No. 2 Qi Shop, and Gu Zheng could only let Die Ling go first.

After a stick of incense, Gu Zheng cooked the ingredients provided by the fat man into food.

The fat man group was very nervous, and the color and aroma of the dishes were already greatly beyond their expectations.

"Hurry up and try it!"

Seeing that the fat man was a little afraid to move the chopsticks, the young man urged.

"Good!"

The fat man gritted his teeth and picked up a piece of black green snake meat and put it in his mouth.

"It's over!"

The fat man had just chewed, and the middle-aged woman couldn't help but scream.

"What's over? Crow's Beak!"

The young man glared at the middle-aged woman, but his heart had sunk to the bottom, and when the fat man chewed the black snake meat just now, people couldn't help but want to swallow the aroma of saliva, and each of them smelled it.

A piece of black green snake meat went down to his stomach, and the fat man immediately went to taste the other ingredients, and his hands trembled a little, so that the dish he picked up fell back on the plate twice.

If the hearts of the companions are sinking to the bottom, then the hearts of the fat men are already desperate! If the green black snake meat can be cooked to such a delicious point, the rest of the dishes will naturally taste no different.

Although he already had the consciousness of losing, the fat man still tasted all the food on the plate, even the soup.

"How?"

Seeing that the fat man finally spooned, the young man asked with a bitter face.

The fat man shook his head with a wry smile at his companions, then looked at Gu Zheng and said, "I am also a chef myself, but I really didn't expect that with so many ingredients and accessories, coupled with the green black snake, a food that makes me feel disgusting when I think about it, you can actually cook it into a delicacy that makes me pick out no faults!

The fat man laughed more ugly than he cried, and the rest of the people all reacted in the same way, their eyes invariably looking at the 100,000 yuan they had brought.

The fact that they will choose a partner has already shown that fat men are not very well-off, and twenty-five thousand is not necessarily a decimal number for them.

"Let's go, let's eat a trench and grow wise!"

The old man was the first to get up, and the other three didn't say anything, and they all stood up.

"Wait a minute, everyone!" Gu Zheng began.

Everyone turned their heads with slightly puzzled eyes.

"I have something to say! If you want to hear what I'm going to say next, now swear not to leak out what we're going to talk about. If you don't want to hear it, you can leave now. "Gu Zhengdao.

After the four looked at each other, they were finally overcome by curiosity, and they each made a poisonous oath that they would never leak secrets.

After the four of them finished swearing, Gu Zheng looked at the fat man and said, "If you are given another chance, can you provide ingredients that are more difficult to cook than this time?"

"What are you doing?"

Before the fat man could say anything, the machine spirit's eyes widened.

"Shh

The Gu Zheng Chong Instrument Spirit blinked, motioning for her to take a look.

The fat man looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief, and seeing Gu Zheng's serious look, he said: "If I can do it again, I will provide more difficult ingredients than this time! This time, because I was too eager to win, I didn't go further to find my ideal thing!"

"Is there a definite goal for the ideal thing you are talking about?" asked Gu Zheng again.

"Yes! It was a wild vegetable in the countryside, and I ate it when I was a child to fill my stomach, and I thought it would be more difficult to deal with it than to deal with the black snake. The fat man affirmed.

"If you lose this time, I deserve to win you 100,000 yuan, and our previous business is over. ”

Gu Zheng paused, and then looked at everyone: "Now, I want to do a business with all of you, if you are willing to do this business, then go and prepare the ingredients that I think can stump me, and when you come over with the ingredients, I will lend you 100,000 yuan! If the ingredients you bring can win me, you can get one million." If you can't win me, you will naturally owe me 100,000 yuan, are you willing to do this business with me?"

"I do!"

The fat man was the first to speak.

The rest of the people were still hesitating, how could pie fall from the sky? But seeing that the fat man had already spoken, the young man immediately said that he was willing too.

"What is your purpose in doing this, shopkeeper?" said the old man cautiously.

"The bulletin board outside the store says that my purpose in opening the store is not to win your money, but to do a difficult task. "Gu Zhengdao.

"Shopkeeper, if I want, but in the end I lose again, when will I pay you back the 100,000 yuan?" asked the middle-aged woman.

"Sent to me in two months. "Gu Zhengdao.

"Are there any other strings attached, just that you lend us money and let us help you complete the task?" the middle-aged woman asked again.

"It's that simple, but I have one thing to warn you of, this statue is an immortal thing, and if you don't keep your oath to it, then your oath will come true!" said Gu Zheng.

No one spoke, all four were thinking.

After a while, Gu Zheng spoke: "Sue me for your decision!"

"I do!"

It was the middle-aged man who was the first to speak.

"I have one more question!" said the young man.

"Say!" Gu Zheng looked at the young man.

"Can we go back on our words before we give you the ingredients?" said the young man.

"You've brought the ingredients again, and I've seen them, and I'm still asking if you'd like me to cook!

"What does the owner mean is that once we agree to let you cook, the business will take effect, and we have the right to end the business at any time before the business takes effect?" said the middle-aged woman.

"That's right, that's what it means!"

"Okay, I'd like to!" said the middle-aged woman.

"I do!" said the young man.

"What do you seem to want to say?"

Gu Zheng looked at the old man who had been frowning, and his face was full of words and stopped.

"I do have something to say, but I dare not say it!" said the old man.

"Say whatever you want, I won't eat people!" Gu Zheng laughed.

"Can you say anything?" asked the old man.

"Of course!"

Gu Zheng smiled again, and then said: "Actually, I can guess what you want to say, even if you don't say these words, I have to ask everyone! Although the three of you have agreed, I still have to remind you that there are risks in everything, although this business does not seem to require you to pay for the time being, and there will be a good reward if you win! However, even if you bring difficult ingredients, there is still a possibility of losing! Once you lose, you will send me money after two months, and you also need to swear! I want to finish the task sooner, but I don't want you to lose your mind. ”

"I've already thought about everything, I'm still willing! If I still lose the next time I bring the ingredients, I will pay you back 100,000 yuan in two months!" the fat man said.

"I'll think about it again, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount after all!"

"I'll think about it again!"

The middle-aged women and young men who were originally willing all became more cautious after being reminded by Gu Zheng.

"I do!"

Surprisingly, the elderly, who had always been cautious, had the opposite decision at this time.

"What the shopkeeper reminded me before is exactly what I want to tell you, but I don't dare to say! Since the shopkeeper has said so, I'm not afraid that there will be anything greasy in it! I can still take out 100,000 yuan, and I am also very greedy for the shopkeeper's 1 million! When I have prepared the ingredients, I will come to the starting point to give it a try. The old man laughed.

"There's still a lot of time, and you can all think about it again!"

Gu Zheng made a gesture to send off customers, there were still guests waiting for him in the No. 2 Qi Shop, and he had already delayed a lot of time here.

"Hey, hey. ”

After the four guests left the strange shop, Gu Zheng smiled at the machine spirit who had been keeping a straight face.

"Toss, toss, toss! Anyway, the guests who come like this don't count!" said the machine spirit.

"No, how can this not count?" said Gu Zheng with a hippie smile.

"Why don't you count, you bad rules!" the machine spirit glared at Gu Zheng fiercely.

"It's not a bad rule!"

Gu Zheng also became serious, he said seriously: "First of all, the rules set by Lord Gluttonous Immortal are aimed at testing my cooking skills, do you say that if I do this, will it have an impact on the test of cooking skills? Just like that fat man, the first time was obviously insufficient preparation, I gave him a second chance, his preparation will be more sufficient, and then the cooking of the ingredients will be more difficult! In this way, isn't it more able to test my cooking skills?"

"Hmph, you're secretly changing your concept! As an apprentice of Lord Gluttony, you actually gave them money to help you complete the cooking test! If that's okay, Lord Tyranny doesn't just need any threshold, just let them come casually, as long as you win, you will have a reward, okay?"

The machine spirit's eyes were a little red, which was something that Gu Zheng rarely saw.

"This is different! Isn't this also a threshold? It's just that the money is paid by me for the time being, and they owe it first. Is there really a big difference between paying back the money after two months and doing business with the money to test your cooking skills?" Gu Zheng sighed.

"Don't think I don't know, if they lose, and obediently send the money over in two months, will you really want it? Hmph, anyway, your wings are hard now, I can't control you, the rules set by Lord Gluttony, you say change it!"

The machine spirit wept, but she didn't seem to want Gu Zheng to see her crying, and the tears were wiped away by her as soon as they rolled down.

"Although the last time I met the chef was very short, I don't think he is a person who is obsessed with subtleties, I believe he will not blame me for this, he values my cooking skills more, whether he has a great success!"

Gu Zheng's voice was stunned, and his face turned soft: "Okay, don't cry, it won't be beautiful if you cry again!"

"Humph!"

The machine spirit snorted vigorously and lowered his head not to look at Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng still saw her tears rolling down quickly.

"Hey!"

Gu Zheng sighed, helplessness that could not be touched.

The sight in front of him changed, and Gu Zheng came to the No. 2 Qi Store through the teleportation immortal array.

"The hosts. ”

Seeing that Gu Zheng was coming, Butterfly Spirit greeted him.

"Where's the guest?" said Gu.

"I can't wait for you to leave, I said I'll come back later. ”

Seeing that Gu Zheng's face was a little wrong, Die Ling obediently didn't say anything, and silently poured him a cup of tea.

Gu Zheng looked at the machine spirit inside, and saw that the machine spirit was no longer crying, and was sitting on the stone in the garden in a daze.

"Look, how beautiful it looks if you don't cry, right?"

"Hey!"

The machine spirit sighed and complained to Gu Zheng: "The effect of media exposure will be produced soon, why do you still want to fix these moths?"

"It's nothing, I just want to finish the task quickly. Gu Zheng shrugged.

"Even if you complete the task ahead of schedule, there is no special reward for completing the task ahead of schedule this time!"

"But I can save time! I can't cultivate properly every day staring at the strange store. Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.

"It's only three months in total, so I really don't have any patience at all!"

The machine spirit glanced at Gu Zheng: "The test that mortals can give you is not the most important, but what immortal cultivators give you! Even if you get a lot of mortal customers, I won't let them all count." ”

"Then hurry up and reach the amount in your heart, and then save precious time for the important task of immortal cultivators!" Gu Zheng put on a very motivated expression.

"If you save time, you have to change the rules, and the rules set by Lord Gluttonous Immortal have all been changed beyond recognition by you!" said the machine spirit helplessly.

"It's okay, as long as you can change it, as long as it doesn't conflict with the general direction, change it appropriately, and save time for me to cultivate?

Gu Zheng patted his chest with a serious appearance, making the machine spirit laugh "poof".

"That's what you said, if Lord Immortal is to blame, you have to carry it for me!" said the machine spirit seriously.

"No problem!" Gu Zheng smiled.

"Damn, I finally know what your sinister smile meant at that time, there are some things that really can't be indulged in you, once there is, there is a second time!"

The machine spirit gritted his teeth at Gu Zheng, looking like he wanted to bite someone.

"Haha!" Gu Zheng laughed.

Gu Zheng communicated with the machine spirit, Die Ling didn't know the content, seeing a smile on Gu Zheng's face, Die Ling said: "By the way, master, the guest who couldn't wait for you just now is an immortal cultivator!"
