"Well, that's what you said. You can't go back on your word!"
After four years in college, Shu Yu knew Gu Zheng quite well. She knew what his strengths were. His cooking skills were really good. She also knew that it was not easy to eat Gu Zheng's dishes. This time, Gu Zheng promised himself, so she immediately agreed.
"It's a deal. I won't go back on my word!"
Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he liked to cook very much. The reason why he deliberately created the impression that it was not easy for him to cook was not to show off his cooking skills, but because he was lazy.
Yes, Gu Zheng's temperament was actually very lazy. He was afraid that his classmates would be addicted to eating and pester him to cook every day. He simply created the illusion that he could not cook so many dishes. In this way, no one would bother him every day. Occasionally, he would cook once in a while and gain the favor of his classmates.
At present, what he did was still very successful.
This time, he owed Shu Yu so many favors. Not to mention one meal, even three meals could be repaid. Of course, he would not go back on his word.
"Master Gu, someone wants your fried eggs!"
At noon, there were many people. Gu Zheng had been standing outside. It was not until one o 'clock that the waiter inside ran out and whispered to Gu Zheng.
"Someone wants my fried eggs?"
Gu Zheng stretched out his finger, pointed to his nose and said in surprise. He had sold a lot of fried eggs today. Shu Yu had one. There were a total of five employees in Shu Yu's restaurant. Including the middle-aged man and Mumu, he had sold a total of nine fried eggs. However, these nine fried eggs had their reasons. None of them really saw the price of the fried eggs and ordered it.
"Yes, you go!"
The waiter nodded fiercely and quickly returned to the restaurant. It was lunchtime now. There were many people in the restaurant today. Even Shu Yu went in to help. She could not stay outside all the time.
"Who wants fried eggs?"
Gu Zheng asked as he took out the imported iced mineral water and washed his hands outside. He wiped his hands as he walked inside.
"Yes, I want it. The waiter said that it tastes very good and is definitely worth 88 yuan. I want to try it and see if it's true!"
The one who spoke was a tall and thin man in his thirties. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked refined. He also wore a watch on his hand. Gu Zheng glanced at it casually and immediately recognized the origin of the watch.
Patek Philippe, a Swiss luxury watch brand, had an average price of 20,000 US dollars. Gu Zheng did not see the specific model of this watch, but as long as this watch was real, it was comparable to an ordinary car.
His clothes were not bad, and the workmanship was exquisite. Gu Zheng's father was, after all, a world-renowned chef with a high income. He had also brought Gu Zheng abroad many times since he was young. They had been to France and Italy many times, so he still had a good eye for good things.
With just a few glances, Gu Zheng could basically tell that this person was not short of money. No wonder he wanted to try his 88 yuan fried egg.
"Please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon!"
Gu Zheng quickly entered the kitchen. In front of him was a half bowl of wonton. He did not eat it at this moment, but walked to the side of the kitchen.
Gu Zheng's pot was aside. He took out the pot, poured clean mineral water, and rinsed the pot carefully. This was not the request of the Qi Spirit, but Gu Zheng's own habit. Every time before cooking, he would wash the pot again.
"You use imported iced mineral water to wash the pot. Interesting. I'm starting to look forward to your fried egg!"
Glancing at the mineral water bottle Gu Zheng put down, the gold-rimmed glasses man smiled faintly. This imported iced mineral water came from melting icebergs, so the color of the water was slightly different from the usual pure water and mineral water. Moreover, he also drank this water himself. He liked the tea made from this water, so he recognized it at a glance.
"What, 18 yuan for a bottle of mineral water?"
Master Wang and Little Master Xu, who were busy, suddenly turned their heads. They had already noticed that Gu Zheng used mineral water to wash the pot and dishes. They did not know much about mineral water, so they thought it was ordinary water. The reason why Gu Zheng did this was because of his own habit.
Both of them did not expect that the water used to wash the pot and dishes would be so expensive.
"It can't be true, can it? Such expensive mineral water is just used to wash the pot?"
"A bottle of water is equivalent to two bowls of wonton. No wonder this fried egg is so expensive!"
The surrounding people heard the words of the gold-rimmed glasses man, and for a moment, they all discussed there. Some believed it, some did not believe it, and there were all kinds of opinions.
Gu Zheng just smiled and did not speak. After washing the pot, he immediately opened the lid of the sesame oil and poured it into the pot.
"This is sesame oil, right? It's so fragrant!"
"It's really fragrant. Using sesame oil to fry an egg, this fried egg must taste good!"
"No matter how good the taste is, it can't be 88 yuan. It's too expensive. It's simply robbing!"
When the bottle of sesame oil was opened, the fragrance spread out. Now that it was poured into the pot, it became more and more fragrant as it was heated. The guests who were eating wonton also looked into the kitchen curiously. The gold-rimmed glasses man did not leave. He stood there and watched Gu Zheng make the fried egg.
Gu Zheng did not pay attention to him. He picked up a fried egg, gently knocked it with his hand, and quickly poured the egg into the pot.
Holding the pot, he stir-fried.
The eggs wrapped in sesame oil were swirling in the wok, and the aroma became even stronger. Some diners were still nodding their heads. The aroma was indeed not bad, but it was a pity that the price was too much. The price of one egg was enough for them to eat a very good buffet.
Golden-Rimmed Eyes was filled with astonishment. He did not see Gu Zheng's actions clearly, but the egg was slowly taking shape in the wok. Furthermore, the white was white and the yellow was yellow. The round egg had a clear distinction between white and yellow. Regardless of whether it was white or yellow, they were as tender as jade. If he had not been standing there the entire time, or if he did not know the origins of the fried egg, he would have thought that the fried egg was a piece of jade.
"Okay, here's your fried egg!"
After more than a minute, Gu Zheng handed over the plate. The gold-rimmed glasses man had already paid for the fried egg. The waiter collected it, helped Gu Zheng change the change, and put it in his box.
"Good, just this appearance is worth this price!"
The gold-rimmed glasses man nodded slowly and returned to his seat with the plate. The other diners also stretched their necks to look at the fried egg on his table. The appearance of the fried egg was really good, but the most curious thing was its taste.
Holding the chopsticks, the gold-rimmed glasses man hesitated, then picked up the fried egg and took a bite.
He was similar to the people who had eaten fried eggs for the first time before. Looking at such a beautiful fried egg, he could not bear to take the first bite. He just put it in his mouth. After smelling the fragrance of the fried egg, he could not help but open his mouth and take a bite.
"Good, delicious!"
With just one bite, the gold-rimmed glasses man's eyes widened a lot. After one bite, he ate all the fried eggs in a row. Among the people who tasted the fried eggs today, Mu Mu was the slowest to eat, and he was the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he had eaten all the fried eggs.
"It's really good. It's worth this price. Give me ten more!"
He deserved to be called a local tyrant. He opened his mouth and asked for ten eggs that cost eighty-eight yuan. This time, Gu Zheng did not say anything. The waiter went over and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir. Master Gu's fried eggs are limited. Each person can only buy one!"
As he spoke, the waiter's hand pointed to the paper stuck on the kitchen glass. It was clearly written on the paper: One fried egg is eighty-eight yuan. Each person is limited to one.
