On the third day after the Food Contest, Gu Zheng returned to Shen City.
The reason why he was late was that Master Wang of Xiaosong Noodle House had to ask Gu Zheng for advice. Gu Zheng's magical kneading technique made Master Wang admire him very much. He didn't say that he wanted to learn Gu Zheng's kneading technique. He only hoped that Gu Zheng could show him again.
Master Wang had been immersed in noodles all his life. When he saw a better technique, his heart was like a cat's paw. If he didn't see it once, he was afraid that he couldn't sleep. Wang Wei could only plead with Gu Zheng again.
Several times in a row, Wang Wei felt that he owed Gu Zheng a big favor, and he could only repay it slowly in the future.
The location was Xiao Song Noodle House, back kitchen. It had only been a week. Gu Zheng came again, but the treatment was completely different. The last time he came, he was almost chased out. This time, he was a very important guest, and Master Wang received him very grandly.
Many young people in Xiaosong Noodle House also secretly looked at Gu Zheng with envy.
Gu Zheng could be said to be the idol of many young chefs in the world of chefs, especially in Hangzhou. He had a great influence. Every time, he would be the first in the audition of more than five thousand people. Moreover, what he cooked was the simplest fried egg. In the end, he even made it to the finals and became the champion.
This was what all young chefs or apprentices had dreamed of many times. They could only dream, but Gu Zheng succeeded.
When they came to Hangzhou from Shen City, Gu Zheng and Mumu became three people when they went back. Wang Dong completely listened to Gu Zheng's advice. Su Cheng didn't go back for the time being. Anyway, there was nothing to do there. He could tell the head chef there that he would continue to study and would not work for the time being.
With Wang Dong's current fame, the head chef would not do anything extreme if he was smart.
When they came, they took the high-speed train, and when they went back, they were picked up by a special car.
Boss Wu specially sent a car to pick them up. Gu Zheng's identity was a little different now. He was the pride of Shen City's gourmet circle, and he was a freelance writer of their website. Boss Wu had the right to send a car to pick them up without applying.
What puzzled Mumu most was that Gu Zheng's things were gone again.
He came empty-handed and returned empty-handed.
Gu Zheng's answer to him was that he was taken away by his friend, who happened to be going back to Shen City. Gu Zheng's friend made Mumu very curious, but unfortunately, he had never seen him before.
Back in Shen City, Gu Zheng first sent Wang Dong to Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu was his father's good friend. He wanted Wang Dong to learn from him before. Uncle Hu didn't work in the hotel. He opened a restaurant by himself. The restaurant was not big, but the business was very good. All the tables had to be booked in advance, sometimes even a week in advance. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get a table.
Gu Zheng knew Uncle Hu's temper. Wang Dong would never be bullied if he followed Uncle Hu, so he was very relieved. After entrusting Wang Dong to Uncle Hu, Gu Zheng went home.
Uncle Hu did not ask for the tuition fee for the time being. Gu Ming personally called him. He was very curious about Wang Dong, this seedling, and was willing to stay and observe him for a few days. If it was possible, he would talk about staying and learning. If not, he would go back to where he came from. Uncle Hu was very strict with himself and his apprentices. If they did not meet his requirements, it was impossible to stay with him.
"Finally, I'm home!"
Back in his room, Gu Zheng directly lay on the bed and stretched himself comfortably. This trip had been out for almost ten days. He was really homesick.
"When are you going to find Sun Er?"
The Tool Spirit said in Gu Zheng's mind. After the competition, the Tool Spirit had reminded Gu Zheng no less than ten times that he was going to find Sun Er.
"Don't worry. I'll go when I'm done here!"
What Gu Zheng wanted to deal with was the Yin and Yang Pill. This Yin and Yang Pill, Gu Zheng had some doubts. Was it because the Tool Spirit saw that Wang Dong had comprehended the Way of Nature and he didn't have it? Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that the reward for discovering Wang Dong's cooking secret was the Yin and Yang Pill?
However, even if this was the case, Gu Zheng would not oppose. After all, this was very beneficial to him.
"As soon as possible!"
The Artifact Spirit said unwillingly. Sun Er and Gu Zheng still had a bet that hadn't been fulfilled yet. That bet had been made under the Artifact Spirit's interference.
Early the next morning, Gu Zheng went out. He had an appointment with Chang Le today and went to the bank to cash the check.
The personal income tax was 200,000 yuan. There was no tax on the transfer of the right to use the store. This trip to Hangzhou had earned a total of 3.8 million yuan. Such a big money gain was the first time for Gu Zheng. It was just right to return the money to Chang Le.
"Mr. Gu!"
The agreed place was a coffee shop. It was not the Michelin one star last time. It was just a slightly better coffee shop. It was not too far from Gu Zheng's house.
When Gu Zheng arrived, Chang Le had already arrived and was waiting at the door.
"Sorry, I'm late!"
"No, I arrived early. Mr. Gu, please come in!"
Chang Le laughed. He was like this. He usually had a smile on his face and his gold-rimmed glasses were his distinctive features.
"Mr. Chang, I'm looking for you. Firstly, I want to return the money. Secondly, I want to ask you if you can still buy the fleece flower from last time. In addition, I also want to know where your other sources of goods are!"
Gu Zheng took out a paper bag containing 100,000 yuan in cash and pushed it to Chang Le. This was the money for buying the fleece flower last time. At that time, Gu Zheng only had tens of thousands of yuan on him, so he temporarily owed it. Now that Gu Zheng had money, he immediately thought of returning the money.
Gu Zheng was not a person who liked to owe others money.
"You still need these things?"
Chang Le was a little surprised. These things were very precious and priceless. It was very difficult to buy them. He knew that Gu Zheng already had a lot of jade poria in his hands, but he did not expect him to still buy them.
"Yes, I need them. This time, it's for another purpose. Moreover, I need a lot of them!"
Gu Zheng nodded. He needed five types of Yin and Yang Pills. He had used up the last fleece flower when he was fusing the rice marrow. The seven hundred year old ginseng that Chang Le found was also used up by him to fuse the rice marrow and treat Elder Liang's illness. He only had the jade poria in his hands now.
There were a lot of jade poria, but there was only one type. He still lacked four types of high-grade raw materials, so he asked Chang Le to inquire. Back then, Chang Le had inquired much more than him.
"Mr. Gu, you won't be able to get the fleece flower by yourself. If you can't, I'll help you make another trip!"
Chang Le was in a difficult position. He did not refuse the money. He was very clear about the situation of the fleece flower. Last time, it was his family who stepped in and finally let him buy a small piece. They said that it was gone early. In fact, even if he stepped in, it would not be easy.
However, his family owed Gu Zheng a big favor. No matter how difficult it was, he would think of a way to help Gu Zheng.
"No need, you just have to tell me where it is. If I can't buy it, I'll exchange it. If I can't exchange it, I'll think of another way. I won't trouble you this time!"
Gu Zheng chuckled. He knew that Chang Le was sincerely helping him, but he did not want to trouble Chang Le so many times. Moreover, he had already thought about it. If he really could not get it, he would go into the primeval forest to look for it himself. With his current strength, he was not afraid of ordinary wild beasts.
As long as he stretched out his immortal power, he would be able to detect if there was anything good in his surroundings. If he could not find it in a day, he would use a month to look for it. If he could not find it in a month, he would use three months. In any case, he would go and look for it if he had nothing to do.
In the depths of the mountains, there were still many such high-quality treasures.
