The class reunion was not a big deal, but the test was a big deal.
Gu Zheng hurriedly sat in front of the computer and checked the ecological farms nearby. As for those ordinary chicken farms, he didn't even look at them. They were just a waste of time.
Shen Cheng City is an international metropolis. There are several green and pollution-free bases around it. They are all in the suburbs. Gu Zheng chooses a few similar bases and calls them one by one. They say that they not only have non-polluting eggs, but also goose eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, and even ostrich eggs.
The ostrich eggs were automatically filtered out by Gu Zheng. What he learned was to fry eggs. Only a few ostrich eggs could be fried in an hour. Duck eggs and goose eggs didn't taste as good as chicken eggs. Quail eggs were too small. Gu Zheng's final choice was chicken eggs.
After making appointments with several bases, Gu Zheng got up early the next morning and took the subway out of the city.
"Shen Cheng Tribe Base!"
Standing at the gate of the first destination, Gu Zheng read the plaque made of rattan at the gate. The name was very simple. The environment looked very good. The gate was made of rattan and green leaves were still growing on it. It looked very beautiful.
"These are our eggs. Most of our eggs are sent to leaders and rich families. The response is excellent. At present, most of the supply in Shen Cheng City is from us!"
The salesperson was very enthusiastic as he led Gu Zheng straight into the hall. When he learned that Gu Zheng wanted eggs, he led him straight to the poultry section. There were indeed free-range eggs placed there. They had white shells and were slightly smaller than the usual yolk eggs.
"Low-grade ingredients!"
Just as he touched it, Gu Zheng shook his head. The quality of the egg was still okay. Even if it wasn't pure green, it wasn't a fake. If it was an egg from a raised chicken, it would definitely be trash or even poisonous.
Gu Zheng looked at a lot of eggs. He even tried duck eggs and goose eggs. Most of them were low-grade and a few of them were garbage. Unfortunately, the materials were limited to second-grade. Gu Zheng could only go back with disappointment.
One base, two bases, three bases.
Gu Zheng spent the whole day running from one base to the other. He wasted a lot of time in the car. Most of the eggs sold in the bases were low-grade. There was even one base that sold poisonous and trashy eggs. It was enough to prove that this base was a fake. They sold reared eggs instead of free-range ones.
The whole day was wasted just like that. At night, he tried to find a few more places, but in the end, he was still disappointed. The next day, Gu Zheng did not care about saving money. He directly rented a car and set off.
No, no, still no. In the huge Shen City, plus the border between Sucheng City and Hangzhou City, there was not a single inferior egg. Gu Zheng finally understood how difficult it was to find inferior ingredients. It was pure luck that he could find that inferior black-boned chicken last time. Without that chicken, Gu Zheng couldn't cook the dishes on the table. Among the three dishes and one soup, two of them were that black-boned chicken.
"After you consume the immortal pill, you can upgrade ingredients below the Normal grade by one grade!"
Sitting in the car, Gu Zheng suddenly sat up straight when he heard the Artifact Spirit's voice in his head.
"You mean, I can upgrade the ingredients?"
"Of course, didn't I tell you before? Four points of ingredients, four points of cooking skills, and two points of cultivation. Cultivation is mainly used to upgrade ingredients. The higher your cultivation is, the higher the level of ingredients you can upgrade. You're too weak now. You can only upgrade ingredients in the Chaotic Space, and you can only upgrade one ingredient at a time!"
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Gu Zheng shouted loudly. He had been searching for two days, and his legs were about to break from running. Only now did the Artifact Spirit tell him that he could raise the grade of ingredients. If he had known earlier, he would have bought a low-grade egg from the start and raised it to second-grade. That way, he would have enough ingredients.
"First, you didn't ask. Second, I told you about the role of cultivation before. You're too stupid to remember it!"
The Artifact Spirit's words made Gu Zheng feel like he was choking on his food. He couldn't refute it at all. The Artifact Spirit did mention the use of cultivation before, but he didn't think in this direction. He also didn't ask the Artifact Spirit how to solve this problem. He just blindly searched and wasted two days. "
"You win!"
Grumbling in his heart, Gu Zheng asked the driver to send him directly to the Full Moon Restaurant on Qinchuan Road. Since he had agreed to attend the class reunion, he couldn't refuse. Fortunately, he had solved the problem of the ingredients. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the mood to go.
He had been in the Chaotic Space for the past two days. He stayed in there for fifteen minutes every day. Every time he came out, he felt a change in his body. It was as if his spirit was much better. However, he didn't feel any airflow or immortal power. His strength did increase a little, but it wasn't obvious.
What made Gu Zheng most happy was the immortal rice and immortal vegetables that he had planted in the Chaotic Space. The immortal rice grew very fast and had already sprouted a section. The immortal vegetables also sprouted green shoots. Whether it was the immortal rice or the immortal vegetables, they all exuded a tempting fragrance. He was looking forward to tasting these two ingredients.
After these two ingredients were harvested, he would be able to taste the real Chaotic Space ingredients and see the difference in taste between the ordinary immortal rice and immortal vegetables.
After solving the problem of the ingredients, Gu Zheng's heart also relaxed a lot. He wanted to use the immortal pill in the future when his cultivation improved a little. Now it seemed that he had to use it in advance. If he could complete this damn test, it didn't matter if he used it in advance. No matter what, the immortal pill would enter his stomach and not be wasted.
"Ancient Genius, you finally came this time!"
At the entrance of Full Moon Restaurant, Hu Yueyue was wearing a business suit. She was looking at Gu Zheng with a smile. Hu Yueyue was 1.6 meters tall and looked very delicate and pretty. She looked like the little girl next door. People who didn't know her would never think that her job was moving houses, and that she was the boss of a moving company.
"Why are you alone? Where are the others?"
Gu Zheng stepped forward and asked. Their alma mater was the Chinese Department of Shen Cheng University. After graduation, most of the students either became editors or professional writers. Some of them also took the civil service exam. Gu Zheng was engaged in food criticism because of his strong writing ability. However, the moving company that Hu Yueyue worked in had nothing to do with their profession.
"They are all waiting in the room. They especially let me, a rough person, wait for you, a gourmet."
Hu Yueyue looked at Gu Zheng with a smile, took his arm and walked inside. There were really many people in the room. More than a dozen people had already arrived, and there were only two seats left. It seemed that Gu Zheng was the last one to arrive here.
"Shu Yu, you are also here?"
Seeing the person next to the seat, Gu Zheng exclaimed in surprise. Shu Yu was his deskmate in the university. She was also the prettiest in their class. At the same time, she was also the one with the best grades in their class.
"How about it? I was right, wasn't I? Gu Zheng will definitely greet Shu Yu as soon as he arrives, just like Shu Yu greets Gu Zheng first after she arrives!"
Hu Yueyue smiled slyly. More than a dozen students around them looked at them and laughed together. Shu Yu lowered her head a little embarrassedly. After she arrived, the first person she asked was indeed Gu Zheng, but she didn't mean anything by asking Gu Zheng. The main reason was that her current career had something to do with Gu Zheng.
