All the diners had seen this piece of paper before, and many of them had discussed it.
There were mockery, sarcasm, and doubts, including the gold-rimmed glasses himself. He had laughed at this sentence before. The fried eggs were sold at eighty-eight and there was still a limited purchase. It was just a claptrap, and he didn't care at all.
Now that he was reminded by the waiter, he was a little embarrassed.
"Can't you make an exception? You are open for business. Now someone wants your things. You have to sell them! "
The gold-rimmed glasses asked unwillingly. He had laughed at the limited purchase of fried eggs before, but now he found that he was the one who was laughed at. Especially when he ate so fast just now, like Zhu Bajie swallowing ginseng fruit. He only felt that the fried eggs were delicious, but he didn't know how delicious they were.
Now, what he wanted most was to order a few more fried eggs, eat a few more, and eat until he was full.
"Sir, the fried eggs don't belong to our shop. Master Gu borrowed our shop to sell them. Master Gu said that only the first time you eat a delicious dish can leave the deepest impression. If you eat more, you won't have that kind of feeling!"
The waiter was still holding Gu Zheng's previous explanation. The gold-rimmed glasses rolled his eyes a few times. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't insist.
There was still half a bowl of wonton in front of him. He picked up the spoon again and scooped up a wonton, but this wonton couldn't be put into his mouth.
Compared with the fried eggs before, the wonton that usually tasted good now tasted like wax.
"Forget it. I'll come again next time!"
Putting down the wonton, the gold-rimmed glasses went out directly. The two waitresses looked at each other with a little bitterness in the corners of their mouths.
This was the second person who ate fried eggs and gave up the staple food. They were afraid that such people would appear in the future. However, they could understand the feelings of the gold-rimmed glasses. The wontons in their shop were very good, and they liked to eat them very much. But compared with Gu Zheng's fried eggs, their wontons were nothing.
After the first one, there was a second one. There were many curious people who were willing to spend money to try. Soon, a young man asked for a fried egg.
In less than ten minutes, Gu Zheng sold the last fried egg that reached the ordinary quality. He upgraded a total of thirteen inferior eggs to the ordinary quality yesterday. He ate one himself, and the remaining twelve were sold out.
The price was eighty-eight yuan. Twelve eggs were sold out so quickly, which was somewhat beyond Gu Zheng's expectations.
However, not all of these omelets were bought by strangers. Shu Yu's shop took up half of the omelets. Including Mumu, there were only four omelets that were sold to strangers.
"You are not allowed to use inferior ingredients, eggs. Otherwise, you will fail the test!"
Someone else wanted to fry an egg. Gu Zheng had just agreed and was about to use an unimproved egg when the Artifact Spirit's voice suddenly rang out.
"What? Didn't you say that the test's ingredients are limited to second-grade ingredients? As long as it's second-grade or above, even second-grade ingredients can be used?"
Gu Zheng hurriedly asked. The Artifact Spirit had actually increased the difficulty of the test. This was not good news for him. If the difficulty of the test was increased and the ingredients were restricted to the ordinary grade, he would have no chance of completing the test.
"You're right. The level of ingredients in this test is Inferior. However, since you've already used Normal ingredients, you can't lower the level. All the fried eggs must be made with Normal ingredients, eggs. You can still use Inferior oil and salt water!"
The Artifact Spirit patiently explained. Gu Zheng stood there in a daze with a sluggish face.
"You win!"
After a full minute, Gu Zheng raised his middle finger in his heart. The result was not what he had expected. The test did not increase in difficulty. It was just that he had used a normal-grade egg before, so he could only use this type of egg for the rest of the test. He could not change to any lower-grade ingredients.
Gu Zheng was speechless. If his heart could cry, he would have burst into tears by now.
The test actually had such a restriction. Damn the Artifact Spirit, why didn't he say it before? If he had known earlier, he would not have chosen to upgrade the eggs. He would have upgraded the sesame oil instead.
Although the taste of the fried eggs would certainly not be as good as now, it would still be much better than other foods. The amount of sesame oil used would certainly be lower than that of eggs. In this way, he could sell a lot of fried eggs a day, or even several times more.
The more he sold, the more he could eat. Only then could he really make a name for himself and complete the test.
Now, he could only use normal quality fried eggs in the future, which meant that he could only sell a dozen eggs a day. With only these few ingredients, let alone half a month, even if he had three months, he wouldn't be able to complete the mission.
Shu Yu's restaurant was located in the center of Shen City. There were countless people within a radius of three kilometers. Therefore, his fried eggs had become the most famous food within a radius of three kilometers. It was simply impossible for him to sell so few fried eggs every day.
"Sorry, today's fried eggs are sold out. Come back tomorrow!"
Gu Zheng put away his things and replied weakly. The customer who had asked for fried eggs was still waiting. He did not expect to get such an answer.
"Master Gu, there are still a lot of eggs!"
The waiter reminded him in a low voice. Although the eggs were somewhat different from the ones Gu Zheng had made before, they were still eggs after all. In her opinion, if she could sell one more egg, she could earn more money. She had calculated the account for Gu Zheng before. Just the twelve eggs sold today, Gu Zheng had earned almost a thousand yuan.
A dozen fried eggs were equivalent to several days of her salary. If she could sell dozens or even hundreds of fried eggs, she was afraid that she could earn more than her monthly salary in one day.
"Those eggs are not good. I want to make the best ones. I'll call it a day. I'll come back tomorrow!"
Gu Zheng shook his head helplessly. If he could sell, he would definitely sell. He still had the test. But that damn Artifact Spirit did not make it clear at the beginning and dug such a big hole for him. He was careless and fell into this big hole.
Now that he thought about it, Gu Zheng wished he could slap himself. He clearly knew the character of the Dao Item Spirit, so why didn't he ask about it clearly back then? He even went to raise the quality of the ingredients. Now, he had truly screwed himself over.
Gu Zheng even suspected that the Artifact Spirit wanted him to fail the test so that he could take revenge on him and give him a hundred lashes.
Thinking of the lashes, Gu Zheng could not help but shiver. The taste of the lashes was not good. He did not want to experience it a second time. Thinking of the painful experience of failing the test and suffering a hundred times, Gu Zheng felt like he was going crazy.
"Don't be discouraged. Previously, you only managed to raise 13 eggs because your control over your strength wasn't good enough. If you can control it well, with your current strength, you can raise at least 20 eggs. If your strength increases, you can raise even more eggs, which will help you complete the test!"
The Artifact Spirit comforted Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng did not pay attention to it. He packed up his things and said goodbye to Shu Yu. He directly waved his hand and called a car. He went home listlessly.
