Looking at Gao Li, whose face was right, the old man's expression became somewhat serious: "You tell me the process." ”

"Good. ”

Gao Li recorded what happened in the Qi shop into the jade slip.

After the old man looked at Yu Jian, he thought for a while and said, "Watching his cooking process is quite difficult, but no matter what, the final result is very good! You wait a few days, I will prepare an ingredient for him myself, and then you can try it again." ”

"Okay!"

Although Gao Li wanted to win the Gu Fight now, the old man said that he would have to wait a few days, and he could only choose to wait, after all, he was really inferior to the old man in this regard.

Gu Zheng's business today is very good, running around in the three odd shops, and a total of twelve orders of business have been completed!

Although Gu Zheng didn't let Die Ling tell the people outside the other two strange shops that they could make up 100,000 yuan by partnering, this was not an unimaginable method, and the people outside the two strange shops thought of it in the afternoon and evening respectively. Of the twelve orders of business on this day, seven of them were made up by partners.

As for whether these people will patronize Qidian again, this is no longer a problem that Gu Zheng should be concerned about, anyway, he has already spread the net, and what he should care about now is how to deal with the problem of more customers tomorrow! After all, the reporter came to Qidian in the morning, and the report about Qidian in the afternoon has appeared on the Internet, so it can be said that the reason why business is so good today must be because of news reports.

Sure enough, the next day, the business of the strange shop was ridiculously good, and after opening at 7 o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door outside the three strange shops almost at the same time.

In the face of the booming business, Gu Zheng is responsible for cooking, Dieling is responsible for reception, and as for those guests who can't take care of it, they can only let them wait outside the strange store first.

From morning to night on this day, Gu Zheng did a total of fifteen orders. Among these fifteen businesses, five of them were the harvest of Gu Zheng's net yesterday, and all of these people owed Gu Zheng another 100,000 yuan.

"Master, do you think these people who owe you money will return the money to you when the time comes?" Die Ling asked Gu Zheng.

"I didn't search for their souls, and I don't know if they'll pay them back. "Gu Zhengdao.

"What if they don't pay it back?"

Butterfly Ling was very concerned about this matter, she didn't want to see her master being tricked.

"Before doing their business this time, I not only gave them time to repay the money, but also told them that no matter whether they can repay the money or not, they must also come to Qidian for a visit! My purpose is just to do tasks, and for me, these people who dare to choose to owe debts to gamble with me can be regarded as having some fate with me. If they don't have the ability to repay the money, as long as they come to Qidian, I will give them an extension of the date to repay the money, and I will also remember their fate. But if they can't afford to repay the money and don't come to Qidian, then I'll have to settle accounts with them and let them fulfill the poisonous oath they made!" Gu Zheng said lightly.

"This kind of thing is not for the master to do, if they need to fulfill their oath, I will do it. ”

Butterfly Ling's voice paused, and then asked, "What will the fate that the master said give them at that time?"

"After this mission is completed, except for the immortal cultivators, I will return all the money that mortals lost to me. As for those who lost twice because I cast my net, I will not only give them money, but also give them some pills that can strengthen their health, after all, they will also contribute more to the completion of my task! As for those who are not careful, they have no fate with me, and they are to blame for what kind of consequences they have. "Gu Zhengdao.

"Master, if some people want you to borrow 100,000 yuan from them to gamble again when they repay the money, will you still give them to them?" Die Ling asked again.

"There is only one chance, even if they have the ability to repay the money, I will not do their third business! If it is not for the task, I will not gamble with mortals like this, let alone bet with them a second time!" Gu Zheng said.

"What are you talking about?" the machine spirit suddenly asked Gu Zheng.

The communication between the butterfly spirit and Gu Zheng is a heart-to-mind exchange, and the machine spirit can give birth to induction, but she has no way of knowing the content of the exchange.

"There's nothing to talk about, just small talk. ”

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and changed the topic: "How long do you say such a good business will last?"

"It should last a few days, but it certainly won't last long. "Instrument Spirit Dao.

"If it lasts for a few more days, is it about to reach the level in your heart?" asked Gu Zheng.

"There are a total of one hundred and twenty businesses, immortal cultivators are the majority, and the number I define for mortals is fifty, if according to the popularity of today's business, it will really take a few days, and the rules for immortal cultivators should be changed. ”

When the voice of the machine spirit landed, she glanced at Gu Zheng lightly, because Gu Zheng was disobedient, she also had to change the task set by the gluttonous immortals.

Time flies, and before you know it, a few days have passed. In the past few days, the popularity of Qidian has also declined rapidly, and even one day Gu Zheng has only completed a single order! After all, Qidian only wins and does not lose, and the number of customers who come to Qidian will become very few, which is expected.

Even though the number of customers had decreased, Gu Zheng still completed a full fifty orders of business on the afternoon of the twelfth day of receiving the task! However, among these fifty orders, two of them were immortal cultivators, and the rest were mortals.

"It's only been twelve days, and fifty orders of business have been completed, although two of them belong to immortal cultivators, but from tomorrow, the rules of the strange shop will also change. The machine spirit spoke.

"What if any more mortals come to the door after that?" asked Gu Zheng.

"If any more mortals come to the door, you can make two more orders to make up fifty. As for the business of mortals after fifty, it's up to you, you can do it if you want, but it doesn't count anymore. "Instrument Spirit Dao.

"If it doesn't count anymore, then I won't do the mortal business anymore. "Gu Zhengdao.

"What about the net you cast before? You didn't explain it to people at the time, if they brought ingredients to the door again, would you be in other people's business?"

The machine spirit looked at Gu Zheng teasingly, she still remembered the first incident when Gu Zheng was disobedient and had to cast a net.

"These people are exceptions, as long as they dare to come, then I will continue to do it!" Gu Zheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"However, the effect of casting the net is not as good as I imagined, and the mortals are still very cautious! The people who really dare to owe money to gamble have not even cast a quarter of the total number of people who have cast the net. ”

Gu Zheng's voice fell to the ground, and his eyes lit up and said: "What are you really talking about! The fat man who was first cast by me came to knock on the door of No. 1 Qi Store again." ”

The fat man who was originally cast a net by Gu Zheng had the strongest desire to come to Qidian again at that time. However, several days have passed, and among the first four people who were cast into the net, the elderly have already come, and the other three have not come, which makes Gu Zheng think that none of them will come! After all, he has seen a lot of people who swore to come at that time, but did not come in the end, during this time.

"Have you found the ideal ingredients?" Gu Zheng smiled after the fat man entered the strange shop.

"Found it!"

The fat man opened the bag with the ingredients.

There are only two kinds of ingredients in the bag, one is a wild vegetable that looks like a wheat cabbage, and the other is a wild mushroom the size of a bowl that looks like a flower mushroom.

"Are there only these two ingredients, and no other accessories?" asked Gu Zheng.

"Yes, there are only these two ingredients, are they qualified?" said the fat man nervously.

"Qualified is qualified, but you must know that the evaluation of taste is relative, you don't provide me with any accessories, you also have to imagine its taste in your heart! If you are really sure that I will make it, then I will cook it for you." Gu Zheng reminded.

Since the opening of the strange store, it can be said that the vast majority of customers are aiming at whether the taste is good or bad in the store rules, and it is completely up to the customers to decide before they dare to gamble.

However, is it really up to the customer to have the final say? No, it is the gluttonous statue that really has the final say, and during this period of time, Gu Zheng has also encountered several customers who want to go against their will, but under the effect of the gluttonous statue, they have to say their true feelings.

"Shopkeeper, I'm sure I want you to do it!" the fat man thought for a moment.

"Well, before you swear I'm going to tell you that if you win, you can take a million from me. If you lose, you will pay back the money here in a month, and even if you don't have any money by then, you must come here for a trip!" Gu Zheng said solemnly.

"Don't worry, if I still lose this time, I will definitely pay it back in a month. ”

The fat man gritted his teeth, and then asked, "If I lose again this time, will you give me another chance?"

"No!" said Gu.

The fat man didn't say anything more, and after he swore an oath, Gu Zheng came to the kitchen with mushrooms and vegetables.

"Master, I feel that this fat man is a little nervous!" said Die Ling.

"Yes, he was nervous that I would say that the ingredients he provided were not up to standard. "Gu Zhengdao.

"Master, I mean, this fat man is a little too nervous, and it seems that he is not just afraid that the ingredients will be unqualified by you!"

"He will be overly worried about the substandard ingredients, the reason is that these two ingredients are not simple! If they are just an ordinary first-class immortal chef and have not been exposed to these two ingredients, then they are cooking according to the requirements of my mission, and I dare to say that the dishes they make will be judged as a failure by the gluttonous statue nine times out of ten!" Gu Zheng said.

"Is it so difficult?" Butterfly Lingmei's eyes widened.

"There is no Tao Eye, the difficulty is non-level, there is an Tao Eye, and if you want to meet the requirements of the gluttonous statue, you must also have the means to transform the characteristics of the ingredients! It can be said that the dishes that will be cooked this time can be ranked in the top two of the fifty orders of business. ”

Gu Zheng paused, and then said: "As for the fat man's excessive nervousness, it is because he has played tricks! The green vegetables he provided me are not only full of trace substances that affect the taste, but also a toxin that can cause micro-poisoning to people! If you want to neutralize the toxins and change the trace substances that affect the taste, using vinegar is the best way to deal with them, and he must have known this, so he didn't provide me with vinegar!" In addition, the existence of wild mushrooms is not a vase, its characteristics conflict with the characteristics of green vegetables, taking these two ingredients together, will also lead to a slight poisoning phenomenon, this fat man must also know! Therefore, this cooking can also be said to be a ruthless game! After all, no matter how good a dish tastes, if there is a problem with the diner's eating, then it is a dish of ingredients!

"This damn fat man is so insidious!"

Butterfly Spirit gritted her silver teeth, and even her fists were clenched, and she had the momentum to teach the fat man a lesson.

"I don't blame him, the rule of the strange shop is to make the diners stump me, so you don't need to be angry with their scheming. "Gu Zhengdao.

"Hmph, it's good that my master is amazing, otherwise I would really be in your way!"

Although there was an explanation from Gu Zheng, Die Ling still glared at the fat man who was a little uneasy.

Gu Zheng began to deal with the ingredients, for him, this dish, although it is difficult, but since he knows where the difficulty is, he can overcome it after all.

There is no vinegar to remove trace substances and toxicity that affect the taste of green vegetables, and there are other ways to solve this problem.

If the amount of bad things in the greens is not large, Gu Zheng can also use the water control trick and the wood control trick to remove the bad things in the greens without destroying the shape of the greens too much. However, there are too many bad things in the greens, and if you want to get rid of them completely, you can only pound them into a paste.

Mashing into a paste will destroy the shape of the greens, but the change in shape can also be the generation of another texture and taste, and it does not mean that it is bad!

To remove the bad things in the greens, Gu Zheng put the vegetable paste aside for the time being.

In the process of cleaning the wild mushrooms, Gu Zheng went deep into it with the power of wood.

Broadly speaking, all the substances that make up the ingredients are clearly represented in the eyes of the Tao. Since childhood, there are many kinds of substances that make up an ingredient, and it is these substances that condense into the unique taste of the ingredient.

Some of the substances that make up the ingredients can be transformed into flavors after being affected by immortals, or the original flavors are sublimated!

In fact, the principle of cooking, that is, the transformation and sublimation of the taste of food, but to put it more finely, with the cooperation of the eye of the Tao, coupled with the understanding of the ingredients, and the means of immortality, Gu Zheng can elevate this transformation and sublimation to an incredible level!

There is a conflict between the substances unique to wild mushrooms and the substances in green vegetables, so people will be slightly poisoned after eating. However, this substance in wild mushrooms belongs to the category that can be transformed by ancient contentions.

When Gu Zheng used the wood control and water control tricks to transform the substances that need to be converted in the wild mushrooms, it not only does not conflict with the green vegetables, but also brings a more delicious taste to the wild mushrooms themselves.

After treating the wild mushrooms, Gu Zheng dug out a round piece from the thick mushroom cap, dug a pit underneath, poured the previously processed vegetable paste into it, and then sealed the mushroom cap. At this time, the wild mushroom, from the surface, can hardly see anything, but it is very interesting inside.

Placing the wild mushrooms on the grill, Gu Zheng controlled the temperature with the fire control technique, and slowly roasted the wild mushrooms.

With the continuous roasting, the original color of the wild mushroom has changed, the white fungus has become a little burnt, and the brown cap has been deepened, and due to the effect of the Five Elements Immortal Formula, some substances in the wild mushroom have been forced out, making the darkened cap look with a beautiful oily shine.

The smell fills the kitchen with a mix of grilled and fresh, a bit like the smell of roasted tender corn.

In this dish, Gu Zheng used the method of roasting and stuffing, and now the dish is about to be completed, and only the last step is about to end perfectly.

The final treatment of wild mushrooms is carried out with the control of wood recipes, and the substances that have been changed after roasting in the original wild mushrooms have produced a slight salty taste under the treatment of ancient control wood recipes. It is also because of the slight saltiness that the texture of the whole dish has been greatly improved!

The dish has been plated, and on the surface it looks like a big mushroom, but in fact it has been changed by Gu Zheng with reasonable knife work, as long as the fat man touches it with chopsticks, the original big mushroom will become a shape suitable for clamping.

The scorching aroma and the fragrance of wild mushrooms were very attractive, and the fat man was a little nervous to pick up a piece of wild mushrooms and put it in his mouth.

The fat man himself is a chef, and he knows more about food than ordinary people, and the first part he puts in his mouth is the fungus.

Normally, the stem is roasted, and the taste is not particularly good, and there is a kind of toughness that people don't like very much.

However, after the entrance of the fungus stalk, the fat man did not realize what 'toughness' was at all, and the fungus stalk, which looked a little shrunken after roasting, turned out to be fat and juicy beyond imagination!

Just one bite, the fat man's eyes have already opened, and the fat juice in the fungus stalk not only has the unique fragrance of the fungus, but also the fragrance of wild vegetables! The two delicious and full juices are intertwined with each other, so that the fat man can't help but want to suck in a more greedy way, instead of chewing normally.

"No!"

The fat man bit the tip of his tongue to sober himself up, he reminded himself that he was here to win money, how could he be attracted by the delicacy and forget his original intention!

Quickly swallowed the fungus stalk in his mouth, and the fat man who didn't give up picked up a piece of fungus cap and put it in his mouth.

The taste of the mushroom cap is so tender and fresh that it makes the fat man feel that it is more fragrant than all the meat! However, the brilliance of the mushroom cap is not beyond the fat man's expectations, after all, the fungus stalk that should have tasted bad has just given him enough shock.

Couldn't wait to swallow the mushroom cap, and the fat man finally picked up a piece of the essence of the whole dish, that is, the part of the wild mushrooms used to make vegetables.

The white and tender mushroom meat is dotted with turquoise hues. Although the vegetable leaves have been mashed, it may affect the appearance of the imagination, but under the cooking of Gu Zheng, the original pasty vegetable leaves have become a layer of paste attached to the mushroom meat, just like a white bread has been smeared with a layer of secret green jam.

As soon as he took a bite, the mushroom meat stuffed with wild vegetables burst in the fat man's mouth, and the delicious and abnormal juice made him forget his original intention in an instant! He only knew to concentrate all his attention on his mouth, and use his teeth and tongue to experience this indescribable wonderful feeling.

It's like having a sweet dream, but there will always be a time to wake up from the dream! When there is no wild mushroom left on the plate, the fat man who woke up remembered that he came to Qidian to win money!
