"Let's go and take a look. Old man Hu seems to have met with some trouble."
Noticing Old man Hu's change, Gu Zheng waved his hand and led Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan towards Old man Hu and the man in a suit.
"How about this, I'll ask my friend and give you an answer later."
Seeing Gu Zheng and Zhao Pingchuan walk over, Old man Hu whose face was full of worry seemed to have found his savior and hurriedly said to the man in a suit.
"Okay, you guys think about it carefully."
The man in a suit nodded his head and was very gentlemanly.
When Old man Hu pulled the three of them to the side, Zhao Pingchuan couldn't help but ask, "Old man Hu, what's going on?"
"These people are too strange."
Old man Hu kept shaking his head, his eyebrows tightly knitted.
"Did they give you some sort of request?" Gu Zheng was able to see through this and asked in a probing manner.
"Yes, they gave me a request. It's just that this request is too unreasonable." Old man Hu hurriedly nodded his head and then said, "They asked me to wait for them to sell the crops in the field and plant Sheep's Beak Grass in the field. After a month of growth, I will burn it all."
"Sheep's Beak Grass, what is that?"
Zhao Pingchuan had never heard of this plant and turned his head to look at Gu Zheng.
"Sheep's Beak Grass, is it the Thorn Vine?"
Gu Zheng actually didn't know, but the Weapon Spirit knew and had already told him in his heart.
"Yes, yes, yes, it is the Thorn Vine. We all call it Sheep's Beak Grass." Old man Hu hurriedly nodded his head. The Sheep's Beak Grass he was talking about was the Thorn Vine that Gu Zheng was talking about.
"They actually want you to plant this!" After getting Old man Hu's confirmation, Gu Zheng frowned his eyebrows.
"What is this Thorn Vine, is there any harm in planting it?" Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan still didn't understand. They looked at Old man Hu and then at Gu Zheng.
"Planting the Thorn Vine and then burning the land is equivalent to turning the land into a wasteland where nothing can be planted."
After Gu Zheng understood the use of the Thorny Vine from the weapon spirit, he immediately understood what the group of people who bought the ancient city microphone wanted Old Man Hu to do.
Thorny vines were a type of vine weeds. The thorns of the vines contained trace amounts of toxins and had certain medicinal value. Most of them grew by the river. This kind of plant had a special characteristic, and that was that it was extremely domineering. The land it grew on would become very barren.
This was because the thorny vines didn't only contain poison in their thorns, but also in their roots. This poison would spread to the surrounding soil along with their roots, killing the roots of other plants nearby. This was also to prevent other weeds from competing with them for nutrients in the soil.
If the thorny vines were planted in this dozen mu of land, in less than a month, there wouldn't be any other plants, roots, or seeds. A month later, the thorny vines would begin to grow. This was also the time when the thorny vines' toxins that suppressed the growth of other plants were at their peak.
If they chose this time to burn all the thorny vines, the resulting chemical reaction would directly turn this piece of land into a wasteland where nothing could be planted. In less than ten years, this piece of land would no longer be able to plant any crops.
After explaining this simply to the Zhao Pingchuan brothers, Gu Zheng couldn't help but glance at the suited man. The good impression he had of him immediately vanished. He only felt that this person was truly vicious and merciless.
Not only did he want to buy Old Man Hu's dozen mu of ancient city wheat, he also wanted to eliminate all future troubles and make sure that not a single ancient city wheat would grow on this piece of land. In other words, if there were any ancient city wheat in this world, then it would only be in his hands. No one else would be able to obtain it.
Old Man Hu didn't think as much as Gu Zheng. The reason why he hesitated and didn't immediately agree was because it was a pity for this piece of land.
Although the other party was giving him the money to buy the land, as long as he had the crops in the land, once these people took the crops away, he could still sell the land again. But if he did as this person asked, then this piece of land would become a wasteland. At that time, even if he wanted to sell it again, no one would want it. Even if someone did, the price would be very low.
Those who were willing to buy his land would do so to plant crops. If the land was abandoned and couldn't grow crops, then naturally no one would buy his land. Or perhaps someone would purposely lower the price and wait for the land to recover before using it.
Although he said that he wanted to discuss with Zhao Pingchuan and Gu Zheng, in reality, Old Man Hu was just using this as an excuse to give himself more time to consider whether or not to accept this condition.
After understanding what was going on, Zhao Pingchuan suddenly had an idea. He wasn't in a hurry to talk to Old Man Hu. First, he pulled Gu Zheng's arm and whispered into his ear, "Master Gu Zheng, if this ancient city wheat is the same as the high mountain wheat, can we cooperate to buy this ancient city wheat and then resell it as an investment?"
When Gu Zheng heard this, he laughed bitterly and then shook his head.
Actually, when he first discovered that the ancient city wheat was being grown here, Gu Zheng did have the thought of buying it himself. But this thought only circled around in his mind for a while before he quickly discarded it.
First of all, if he wanted to sell the ancient city wheat at the same price as the high mountain wheat, then he would need to specially create hype. The high mountain wheat had become more and more expensive over the years because there were people behind the scenes pushing for it. Someone had specially contracted all the places where the high mountain wheat was being produced and then resold it to various high-class restaurants, private clubs and other places. Gu Zheng didn't have the energy nor the time to do so.
Other than that, the ancient city wheat wasn't like the high mountain wheat which had extremely strict requirements for growing. Ordinary people only needed to get their hands on the seeds and could easily popularize it. Even if it was sold at the same price as the high mountain wheat, it wouldn't take long for the price to drop.
As for the other reason, that was that Gu Zheng still had immortal rice growing in his chaotic space. The immortal rice was of a higher grade than the high mountain wheat. This ancient city wheat was naturally not that important to Gu Zheng.
However, Zhao Pingchuan and the other brothers were businessmen after all. Seeing that there was profit to be made, it was normal for them to be tempted. Hence, Gu Zheng only briefly explained the reason why he wasn't willing to participate and didn't stop them from doing so.
After all, as long as they could create a reputation for the ancient city wheat, they would still be able to make a profit.
"Brother, why don't we just forget about it. We aren't professionals in buying and selling food." Zhao Pingshan was the first to feel that it was troublesome and wasn't willing to do this.
"That's true. This business has its own specialization. We brothers only know how to sell cars. Selling food isn't what we're good at."
Zhao Pingchuan lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he shook his head and gave up on this idea.
"Boss Zhao, Master Gu Zheng, what are you guys discussing?"
Old man Hu thought for a long time by himself. He couldn't bear to give up the money to buy the crops, but he also couldn't bear to let this piece of land become a wasteland. After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an idea. Seeing Zhao Pingchuan and Gu Zheng mysteriously talking about something, he asked.
"It's nothing. Originally, I wanted to buy the crops in your land. But now that I think about it, let's forget about it." After Zhao Pingchuan gave up on his previous plan, he seemed to be more relaxed.
"You guys want to buy it too?" Old man Hu didn't think that Zhao Pingchuan would also have this idea. Previously, he was only focused on discussing the matter of buying and selling the crops in the land with the suited man. He didn't know that Gu Zheng already knew about the value of the crops in the land. He immediately asked curiously, "Could it be that the crops in my land are really gold?"
"It's not gold. It's just that the crops in your land are Guzhancheng Wheat. To us, it's a very good ingredient." Gu Zheng could only explain again. He even said a few more words. He also told Old man Hu about his guess as to why that person wanted Old man Hu to plant the Sheep Beak Thorn Vine. "That person wanted you to plant the Thorn Vine and destroy this piece of land. He probably didn't want Guzhancheng Wheat to grow here in the future."
"So it's like this. No wonder they wanted to use the money to buy these crops."
Old man Hu habitually rubbed his hands. Only now did he understand.
However, after knowing that the crops in his land weren't normal crops, he didn't show much joy.
To him, whether it was Guzhancheng Wheat or Gaoshan Wheat, they were all crops that grew in the land. There wasn't much of a difference between grains that were ground and ground.
"Okay, now that I know the reason, I have a plan in mind. If that's the case, then their request isn't strange. "
After pausing for a second or two, the hesitant Old man Hu suddenly slapped his thigh. He finally made up his mind.
Old man Hu's reaction made Gu Zheng quite surprised.
Normal people, after knowing this situation, would have some changes in their heart. It was very likely that they wouldn't feel as if a meat pie had fallen from the sky. Even asking for more money would be a very normal reaction. However, Old man Hu wasn't like that. After he knew the reason, he didn't feel too conflicted. It was a pity that this piece of land was destroyed.
"Thank you Master Gu Zheng. Fortunately, you guys followed me this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to understand the reason behind this even if I cracked my head."
Old man Hu was an honest person. He didn't think too much about using this wheat to earn extra money. After thanking Gu Zheng, he walked over to the suited man who was waiting for his reply.
"How is it? Have you guys finished discussing? I only have one condition. If you agree, we can sign the contract now." When the suited man saw Old man Hu walk over, he was still as expressionless as before. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"So what you want is the Guzhancheng wheat that I planted in my land. You should have said so earlier. If I had known, then I wouldn't have been so conflicted." Old man Hu nodded, but he still couldn't hold back and said, "You guys don't want this wheat seed in my land anymore. Can you use some other method? I can guarantee that I will never plant this wheat in this land again."
"How did you know this is …" When the suited man heard this, his expression changed. He stopped mid-sentence and raised his head to stare at Gu Zheng!
Old man Hu couldn't have recognized this wheat as the long-extinct Guzhancheng wheat. Therefore, he knew this wheat seed was naturally what Gu Zheng and the others said.
Ignoring Old man Hu, the suited man strode over to Gu Zheng and the others.
"Hello, my surname is Gao and my name is Zhong. May I ask how I should address you guys? "
"My name is Zhao Pingchuan. I'm from Huan City. My hometown is Qi Song County. This is my younger brother, Zhao Pingshan. As for this, he is Master Gu Zheng. "
Zhao Pingchuan first introduced himself, then introduced Zhao Pingshan and Gu Zheng.
The suited man, Gao Ziyue, looked at the three of them and finally fixed his eyes on Gu Zheng. He frowned and said, "Master Gu Zheng?"
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head modestly, "They are being too polite. I'm not a master."
Gao Ziyue frowned and looked at Gu Zheng again. He suddenly relaxed his brows and said in surprise, "I remember now. You are Gu Zheng from Shen City."
"Boss, have you also heard of Master Gu Zheng's reputation?" When Zhao Pingchuan saw this, he couldn't help but recall the time when he and his younger brother accidentally discovered Gu Zheng's identity in Ze Qiu County. They were also surprised.
However, Gao Ziyue's surprise didn't seem to be the same as theirs.
Soon, Gao Ziyue calmed down. He even had a very strange smile on his face. He reached out to Gu Zheng and shook his hand, "I have a friend who opened a chain restaurant in Shen City. I also learned about Master Gu Zheng's reputation from my friend. I believe Master Gu Zheng must know him. His surname is Hua. "
Surname Hua?
Gu Zheng immediately remembered the time when he planned to challenge the scheming Boss Hua. That day, in front of the media, he was manipulated by the spirit to tell the truth. After that, his bad reputation of being mercenary and unscrupulous spread all over Shen City. After that, it seemed that no one patronized his business anymore. As for whether his chain restaurant was still open, Gu Zheng didn't pay much attention to it, so he didn't know. But according to the situation at that time, his restaurant would be closed sooner or later. It couldn't be opened at all.
In Shen City, Gu Zheng only knew this Boss Hua. And listening to the meaning in the words of the man in the suit, he should be talking about this Boss Hua.
However, Gao Ziyue only mentioned him. He didn't mention anything about the grudge between him and Gu Zheng.
"Okay, let's not talk about him. Anyway, I'm just acquaintances with him." Changing the topic, Gao Ziyue suddenly asked Gu Zheng a question that no one thought of, "The only person who can recognize this Guzhan City Wheat must be you, Master Gu Zheng. Then, can I ask, where else did Master Gu Zheng see this Guzhan City Wheat before?"
"I haven't seen it before." Gu Zheng shook his head.
"How is that possible? As far as I know, the real Guzhan City Wheat has long been extinct. Now, everyone is familiar with the Guzhan City Wheat that has been grafted and improved countless times. If you haven't seen the real Guzhan City Wheat with your own eyes, you won't be able to recognize it at all." Gao Ziyue didn't believe Gu Zheng's words at all.
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Gu Zheng was too lazy to explain to him.
Gao Ziyue was startled. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. It could be seen that he really wanted to know the answer. His attitude towards Gu Zheng became even more respectful. He asked again sincerely, "I'm really sorry, Master Gu Zheng. This Guzhan City Wheat is very important to me. If you've seen it elsewhere, please tell me."
"The Guzhan City Wheat has long been extinct. I only came here by accident and discovered that the Guzhan City Wheat was planted in this field. I really haven't seen it anywhere else. Besides, you haven't seen the Guzhan City Wheat before, but you recognized that the Guzhan City Wheat was planted in this field. "
Seeing that his attitude was good, Gu Zheng was willing to say a few more words.
Gao Ziyue looked deeply at Gu Zheng. After weighing his judgment, he was sure that Gu Zheng wasn't lying to him. He suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Zheng was right. Gao Ziyue hadn't seen the Guzhan City Wheat before, but after coming to this field, he recognized that the Guzhan City Wheat was planted in Old Man Hu's field.
Like Gu Zheng, Gao Ziyue was also a gourmet expert. Not only was he good at cooking, but he also had a deep understanding of gourmet food. Distinguishing between ingredients was a gourmet's specialty. If it wasn't for the fact that he accidentally ate the unusual mixed noodles in a small place like Qi Song County, Gao Ziyue wouldn't have noticed the boss of Lejia Snacks, Old Man Hu.
Unlike Zhao Pingchuan and the others, Gao Ziyue beat around the bush and found out from Old Man Hu that the ingredients he used were from his own family. Then, he specially went to Old Man Hu's field to investigate. Only then did he confirm that the Guzhan City Wheat was the same as the Guzhan City Wheat.
"Since Master Gu Zheng didn't find the Guzhan City Wheat in other places, then forget it." No longer entangled in this matter, Gao Ziyue turned his head to look at Old Man Hu and asked again, "Old Man Hu, I've already stated my conditions very clearly. As long as you accept, we can sign the contract now and give you the money."
"Is there really no other way?" Old Man Hu still couldn't bear to destroy this piece of land.
Gao Ziyue shook his head. His attitude on this matter was firm and there was no possibility of changing it.
Seeing him like this, Old Man Hu couldn't do anything. Who asked him to be in a hurry to have a grandson? If he didn't buy the land, his son wouldn't be able to get married and buy a house this year.
"Okay, I promise you. When you get rid of the crops in this field, I'll plant the Sheep's Beak Grass."
Looking at his family's field with regret, Old Man Hu made up his mind.
Hearing this, Gao Ziyue's face more or less warmed up. The corner of his mouth rose and a smile appeared again. Afraid that Old Man Hu would regret it, he quickly said, "That's great. There's no need to wait. My people have already prepared everything. They can finish harvesting the crops in the field today. Then, we can help you plant the Sheep's Beak Grass. "
"That urgent?" Old Man Hu couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't think that Gao Ziyue would be this urgent. He didn't give him any time to regret it.
"Of course. This has always been my style of doing things. Moreover, time is money. If I don't finish the matter here, I won't have the heart to do anything else." Gao Ziyue said this and then turned around. He made a hand gesture to the group of people wearing grey robes that came with him.
Among the group of people wearing grey robes, a person carrying a document bag quickly walked over and handed the document bag to Gao Ziyue.
Opening the document bag, Gao Ziyue had already prepared the purchase contract. It included the conditions of planting the Sheep's Beak Grass after buying the crops and burning the land one month later. All of this was clearly written in the contract. Now that everything was ready, all that was left was for Old Man Hu to sign his name.
"This is the contract. Sign your name and put your fingerprint on it. I will instruct someone to transfer the money to your bank account." Gao Ziyue handed the contract to Old Man Hu. He even prepared a pen and ink pad for him.
Glancing over the contract and seeing that there were no problems, Old Man Hu quickly signed his name and put his fingerprint on it. He then returned the contract and pen to Gao Ziyue.
After confirming that the contract was signed, Gao Ziyue carefully put the contract back into the document bag and handed it to the person from before. He immediately said, "Okay, you can arrange for people to start."
"Yes."
The person nodded his head and took out his phone to make a call. After a few words, he returned to the group of people wearing grey robes. The group of people quickly spread out in all directions. It seemed like they were measuring the area of Guzhan City.
After signing the contract, there was nothing left for Old Man Hu to do. After finally settling this matter, he let out a long sigh of relief. He called out to Gu Zheng and Zhao Pingchuan and said, "Today it was really hard for you guys to accompany me on this trip. Come, let's go to my house. I will make noodles for you guys. Now that the crops have been sold, I will go to Shen City to prepare for my son's wedding. You guys probably won't be able to eat it for a long time. "
After speaking, Old Man Hu looked at Gao Ziyue and asked, "Boss Gao, come with us. It will take a while to finish these ten acres of land."
"It won't be slow. I have a lot of people. I will be able to finish processing the wheat in this field very quickly." Gao Ziyue smiled and then added, "However, we still have to eat the noodles and flatbread. Your craftsmanship is indeed top-notch. "
Hearing Gao Ziyue's praise, Zhao Pingchuan couldn't help but smack his lips. He said regretfully, "That's right. Old Man Hu, I want to eat three bowls later!"
"Why are you eating so much?" Old Man Hu grinned. He thought Zhao Pingchuan was joking.
Zhao Pingchuan really wasn't joking. The reason why Le Family's snacks were so delicious was because the noodles and dough skin were made from Guzhan wheat. Now that the fields were sold, Old Man Hu wouldn't have such good ingredients to use in the future. He was afraid that the taste would immediately drop.
Gu Zheng and Zhao Pingchuan also felt that it was a pity. However, buying the land was Old Man Hu's own business. As an unrelated outsider, he couldn't say much. He couldn't stop Old Man Hu from selling the land for his son's marriage just because of this ingredient.
Anyway, he came here mainly to complete the test mission of the weapon spirit.
Although Old Man Hu sold the land, he still had food at home. At present, he could still make noodles that met the test conditions. The requirement of the test mission was only to find and discover. It didn't stipulate that Gu Zheng had to help him preserve this cooking skill. Finding and eating it was considered to have completed the test mission.
"That's right, where does Boss Gao plan to transplant this Guzhan wheat to? If we want to buy this kind of wheat in the future, how do we buy it? "Zhao Pingshan and his brother had a telepathic connection. He suddenly thought of this and casually asked.
Gao Ziyue smiled mysteriously. He shook his head and didn't answer directly. He only said: "Although this Guzhan wheat has a very high evaluation in the records, as an ingredient, the highest quality is still the alpine wheat. If Boss Zhao really wants to eat the best pasta, it's better to use the alpine wheat processed pasta."
"I've eaten alpine wheat before. I have to say, the pasta processed from it is too expensive. However, the price of this Guzhan wheat isn't that high now. It won't be expensive. " Zhao Pingshan shook his head and laughed: "Master Gu Zheng also said that the pasta processed from Guzhan wheat isn't worse than alpine wheat. It can even be said that the quality of the ingredients is better than alpine wheat."
"I don't agree with that. Alpine wheat is the best pasta ingredient in the world. Otherwise, why would alpine wheat be sold at such a high price. "Gao Ziyue's attitude was very strange. Gu Zheng couldn't help but look at him again.
For some reason, Gu Zheng suddenly felt very uneasy in his heart.
Just at this time, there were sounds of car horns coming from where they stood. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
On a small road not far away, a row of bulldozers drove towards them. With a rough glance, there were at least thirty bulldozers in this row.
"What's going on? Is there a demolition here? "
Zhao Pingchuan looked and couldn't help but mumble.
A bright light flashed in Gao Ziyue's eyes, and he couldn't stop the smile on his face.
The people in grey saw the cars and immediately waved at them.
"Boss Gao, did you hire these bulldozers?"
Seeing this, Zhao Pingchuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Gao Ziyue nodded and said: "My people are here. I'll let them know and we'll go to Old Man Hu's snack shop to try his noodles."
"You're not going to transplant the Guzhan wheat here. You're planning to flatten all the Guzhan wheat here!"
Gu Zheng suddenly came to a realization and finally realized why he kept feeling that something was wrong with Gao Ziyue. Now, after seeing the bulldozers, he finally understood Gao Ziyue's intention.
Previously, Gao Ziyue had always said that the Guzhan wheat was very important to him. Therefore, whether it was Gu Zheng or others, they all thought that he was going to take the wheat away and transplant it to other places. They didn't expect this to be his intention. Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
Gao Ziyue didn't hide his true intentions anymore. He laughed and said: "That's right. I never said that I wanted to transplant the Guzhan wheat here."
"But why is that?"
Old Man Hu was confused. He had just found out that the wheat in his field was the legendary Ancient Zhancheng wheat. It was worth buying all of it at the price of buying land. But in just a few minutes, this person wanted to sell all of the Ancient Zhancheng wheat. Wasn't this burning money?
Not only him, even the brothers Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan couldn't understand. He had clearly found a treasure, but he still spent so much money. He also wanted to plant sheep beak grass and thorny vines to prevent the Guzhan wheat from growing in the future. His final goal was to destroy the Guzhan wheat.
Wasn't this the same as destroying the Guzhan wheat?
"Boss Gao, forgive me for not understanding. Can you explain to me why you're doing this?" Zhao Pingchuan couldn't think of a reason and asked.
"Of course, I have my reasons for doing things." Gao Ziyue was a little proud of his success. He even pretended to be profound and refused to explain his reasons.
After Gu Zheng pointed out Gao Ziyue's true intentions, he remained silent and didn't say anything. His expression didn't look good.
As of now, the Guzhan wheat planted in this field was the only Guzhan wheat that was discovered. If Gao Ziyue really flattened it and planted sheep beak grass, then the Guzhan wheat might not go extinct. At the very least, it would be very difficult to find it again.
But why did he want to do this? What good did it do for him?
Gu Zheng frowned and thought carefully about Gao Ziyue's motives.
As a food critic, Gu Zheng couldn't just watch the wheat be destroyed. It might even become history. But if he didn't understand Gao Ziyue's true intentions, he wouldn't be able to stop him.
Back and forth, from when he first saw Gao Ziyue to when the bulldozers appeared, Gu Zheng went over every detail in his mind. He quickly grasped a few key points.
Gao Ziyue was very concerned about whether there were other places to plant the Guzhan wheat. He looked down on the Guzhan wheat and highly respected the alpine wheat …
Connecting all these points together, it could only mean one thing. If Gao Ziyue destroyed the Guzhan wheat, then the only people who would benefit from it would be the alpine wheat seller!
The reason was simple. The Guzhan wheat had low survival conditions, strong adaptability, and was suitable for promotion. It was also very high in yield. Its value was the same as the alpine wheat. They were both rare ingredients. If the Guzhan wheat was promoted, this high nutrition and high taste wheat would directly impact the alpine wheat's market value.
A large part of the reason why the alpine wheat was so expensive was because there was someone behind the scenes who specialized in this market. Once a wheat seed that could replace the alpine wheat appeared in the market, it was obvious that no matter how much those people hyped and controlled the price, they wouldn't be able to let the alpine wheat's price continue to rise. It could even be said that it would plummet.
The reason why Gu Zheng knew all this was because of his father, who was a chef in a Michelin three-star restaurant. As a chef, one of the most important rights was to choose the ingredients. Therefore, his father would meet with all kinds of ingredient suppliers every day. The alpine wheat was now controlled by a group of people, and the price was also decided by them.
When Gu Zheng's father was on the phone with Gu Zheng, he occasionally mentioned this matter a few times. Gu Zheng didn't care about it in the past, but connecting the dots today, he suddenly thought of the key point.
Gao Ziyue was definitely related to the people behind the alpine wheat market!
After thinking this through, Gu Zheng looked at Gao Ziyue again with a very serious expression.
"Boss Gao, if I'm not wrong, the reason why you want to destroy the Guzhan wheat here is because you're afraid that its appearance will affect the alpine wheat's price now?"
Gao Ziyue's smile froze. It seemed that he didn't expect Gu Zheng to see the key point so quickly. However, he wasn't afraid of Gu Zheng. Now that the contract was signed, the crops in the field were all his. It was legal for him to do whatever he wanted with the crops in the field.
"Amazing. As expected of Master Gu Zheng, who caused President Hua to be helpless and suffer a great loss." After pausing for a moment, Gao Ziyue clapped his hands and praised Gu Zheng. He straightforwardly admitted, "That's right, I want to destroy this Guzhan City Wheat. Otherwise, the price of alpine wheat will definitely plummet because of the appearance of Guzhan City Wheat."
"Boss Gao, you don't have to do this, right? Doesn't this mean that there won't be any more Guzhan wheat seeds in the future? "Zhao Pingchuan looked at Gao Ziyue, who seemed to have changed into a different person, as if he was looking at a lunatic.
"Blinded by interest, blinded by interest …" Zhao Pingchuan couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that he really couldn't understand Gao Ziyue.
Gao Ziyue laughed again. He wasn't in the mood to waste any more time here. He turned around and walked towards his convoy, ready to give orders. However, just as he turned around, Gu Zheng's voice sounded behind him.
"Do you think that by destroying the Guzhan wheat here, the alpine wheat's price won't plummet?"
Gu Zheng's words shocked the Zhao brothers. They looked at Gu Zheng in unison.
Although they didn't understand how Gao Ziyue inflated the alpine wheat's price, seeing that he was willing to pay such a price to destroy the Guzhan wheat that could affect the alpine wheat's price, they knew that Gao Ziyue wasn't a simple person.
If Gao Ziyue's destruction of the Guzhan wheat here didn't affect the alpine wheat's price, then the only possibility was … the Guzhan wheat here wasn't the only plantation. There were other Guzhan wheat plantations in other places.
Just as they were about to ask, Zhao Pingchuan saw Gu Zheng gently shake his head, indicating that they shouldn't speak first.
No one knew what Gu Zheng was thinking now, but seeing that he had a card up his sleeve, the Zhao brothers suppressed their curiosity and waited to see what would happen.
Similar to the Zhao brothers, Gu Zheng also couldn't accept Gao Ziyue's decision to destroy the Guzhan wheat so that it wouldn't affect the alpine wheat's price.
The completely different geographical environment and growing climate caused nature to be rich and colorful. Whether it was the alpine wheat or the Guzhan wheat, they were all nature's greatest gifts to life. However, because of the development of human beings and the advancement of technology, too many delicacies became history and no longer existed.
Gu Zheng couldn't affect other things, but he couldn't just watch as the only Guzhan wheat he had discovered so far was destroyed because of some people's intentions.
Gu Zheng actually had many ways to stop Gao Ziyue from destroying the Guzhan wheat. He could use his immortal energy to influence Gao Ziyue's thoughts, or directly let the weapon spirit control Gao Ziyue and return the land. However, these methods only treated the symptoms and not the root cause. Gao Ziyue was only one person now, and there was definitely a huge interest group behind him. Just changing Gao Ziyue alone wouldn't be of much use.
Moreover, Gu Zheng couldn't possibly guard this place all the time, or use a few years to promote the Guzhan wheat here. This was too troublesome and was the worst plan.
The best plan was to let Gao Ziyue and the interest group behind him understand that destroying the Guzhan wheat here was of no use to them, and let them give up on this idea.
As for how to do this, Gu Zheng had already thought of a way.
"What do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Gao Ziyue's body stopped and he suddenly turned around, staring at Gu Zheng with a stunned expression.
Gu Zheng smiled indifferently, with an unfathomable look. He looked at Gao Ziyue with a slightly regretful expression, and leisurely repeated what he said just now. "I said, even if you destroy the Guzhan wheat here, the price of the Guzhan wheat will not continue to rise like it is now."
What the Zhao brothers could think of, Gao Ziyue naturally could too. He had repeatedly asked Gu Zheng if he had seen any other Guzhan wheat planted in other places, because he was worried that there were other Guzhan wheat planted in other places. If that was really the case, then even if he destroyed the land here, it would be of no use.
Gu Zheng's attitude left Gao Ziyue with only one thought: That Gu Zheng had lied to him before, and this was not the only Guzhan wheat plantation that had been discovered so far.
"Mister Gao, our people are ready, we can start at any time."
At this time, the pair of bulldozers had already driven over, and the leader of the convoy was a middle-aged man. He didn't know what had happened just now, so he walked over and asked Gao Ziyue.
"Wait a moment, don't be in a hurry to act."
Raising his hand, Gao Ziyue signaled him not to be in a hurry, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
The only thing that could pull down the price of the Guzhan wheat was the same grade of Guzhan wheat. However, even in Guzhenla, which was the current Indochina Peninsula, there were no longer such wheat seedlings, and all that was planted were ordinary wheat seeds. The real Guzhan wheat could be said to have been extinct, and he had only discovered it here by chance.
But if there really were other Guzhan wheat plantations in other places, Gao Ziyue would have to change his initial plan.
Because if he couldn't stop the Guzhan wheat from circulating in the market, then the best way was to control all the Guzhan wheat plantations, just like how they controlled all the production of the Guzhan wheat.
But if he didn't control all of it, then destroying this place wouldn't mean much.
Thinking of this, the gloomy Gao Ziyue's expression changed a few times, and he couldn't help but ask, "Master Gu Zheng, do you know that there are other Guzhan wheat plantations in other places?"
"Didn't I say before that this is the only place I've found Guzhan wheat?"
No one would have thought that Gu Zheng would shake his head and deny this theory.
The Zhao brothers looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion. In their opinion, there was only one possibility for Gu Zheng to say that.
Gao Ziyue was also stunned, completely unable to understand what Gu Zheng was thinking.
Everyone had guessed wrong. Gu Zheng dared to say this not because he knew that there were other Guzhan wheat plantations in other places, but because of the immortal rice that was planted in the Chaos Space. Immortal rice was exactly the same as ordinary wheat, and was also a type of wheat, but no one had ever seen it before.
The current Gu Zheng's strength was no longer the same as before, and the immortal rice in the Chaos Space wasn't just the initial ten stalks. It had already been planted in large patches, and although there wasn't much overall, it was more than enough to deal with Gao Ziyue.
"The Guzhan wheat and Guzhan wheat are the best varieties of wheat, but in my opinion, they are only slightly better than ordinary wheat. I'm afraid you haven't even seen the real high-grade wheat." Gu Zheng looked at Gao Ziyue, not afraid that he wouldn't believe him.
"How is that possible!"
Gao Ziyue immediately laughed out loud. He thought that there were other Guzhan wheat plantations in other places, but he didn't expect Gu Zheng to say such a thing.
In fact, in this world, only the Guzhan wheat could be compared to the Guzhan wheat. If there was a higher grade wheat than the Guzhan wheat, he wouldn't believe it no matter what.
"Unfortunately, I've indeed found a higher grade wheat variety than the Guzhan wheat and the Guzhan wheat. Moreover, I've brought it with me, and it's in our car. If you're willing to go back with me, I can take it and show you what a real high-grade wheat seed is. "
Gu Zheng didn't care about his attitude, as if he didn't care whether he believed it or not.
Gu Zheng was talking about the sky noodles of the Xiaosong Noodle House in Hangzhou, but he didn't know if these people had seen the sky noodles of the Xiaosong Noodle House, but it didn't matter. Even if they had seen it, Gu Zheng believed that they wouldn't recognize it at all.
Gu Zheng's immortal power could purify the quality of ingredients. Although it could only be upgraded to the normal grade, it didn't mean that it couldn't be upgraded after reaching the normal grade. There was a certain gap between the normal grade and the normal grade.
The sky noodles of the Xiaosong Noodle House could only be regarded as a beginner in the normal grade. After Gu Zheng upgraded it, its quality could be upgraded to the high grade of the normal grade. Although the gap wasn't big, there was still a gap after all, and the appearance of the flour had changed.
It was just that it was a little troublesome for Gu Zheng to enter the chaotic space, and he definitely couldn't do it in front of everyone. Fortunately, Zhao Pingchuan's car film was very good, and Amen was in the car business. Of course, the things he used were the best, and it couldn't be seen from the outside at all.
Gu Zheng entered the car. He only needed to bend down and quickly enter the chaotic space to take things out.
