Shu Yu's store was still full of people even after the omelettes were separated. However, many people were not waiting for omelettes, but for wontons. There were also people waiting for omelettes and wontons. Gu Zheng's goal had been achieved.
Shu Yu's business had increased, and she had hired a few more people. These days, Shu Yu had also stayed in the store to help.
On the fifteenth day, Gu Zheng had sold a total of 210 omelettes. This was the first time he had sold more than 200 omelettes, and also the first time he had sold until after dinner. In order not to affect Shu Yu's business, Gu Zheng would stop every time before dinner and start selling his omelettes after dinner.
"Shu Yu, I won't be coming tomorrow!"
After selling all the omelettes in the evening, Gu Zheng put away all his things and said to Shu Yu. He looked back at the kitchen again. He was a little reluctant to leave this place, but that was all. He didn't like to stay in one place for too long. The last few days had already made him feel sullen.
"You have something to do tomorrow? You've been working for so many days. It's time to take a day off! "
Shu Yu was a little surprised, but then she felt relieved. Gu Zheng had been working for more than ten days, especially the last few days, which were high-intensity work. Anyone would feel tired, so it was normal to take a day off.
The employees in the store had shifts, so she didn't stay here every day. These days, Gu Zheng insisted on coming to the store every day. Today, he was busy until the evening.
"It's not a break, it's a stop. I told you last time that I'm only here to experience life. I'll only sell omelettes for half a month. Now the time is up. Thank you for letting me stay here for so many days. Don't worry, the meal I owe you will definitely come true in a few days!"
Gu Zheng said softly. His test time was up. Now, even if he wanted to stay here, the device spirit wouldn't allow it. He could only leave.
However, he still didn't know the result of this test. The device spirit didn't tell him and said that he would wait until he returned home. The more the device spirit didn't say, the more nervous Gu Zheng became.
Through his performance in the past half a month, his fried eggs had indeed gained a certain level of fame. Many people lined up every day, and many people thought of ways to eat his fried eggs. He had even been recommended by the chief editor of the Food Channel, and several food critics had written articles praising him. There were even local news reports.
However, the test this time had a radius of three kilometers. His fried eggs had become the most famous food. He was not confident about this and did not know if he could do it.
He didn't have the data to calculate the most famous food within a three-kilometer radius, so he could only wait for the Artifact Spirit's judgment.
"Stop? Are you serious?"
Shu Yu stood up. She remembered that Gu Zheng had said that he would only be here for half a month. But now that the business was so good and there were so many people lining up to buy Gu Zheng's omelets, she didn't think that Gu Zheng would really leave just like that.
Gu Zheng replied, "We've been in university for four years. Don't you know me? I've troubled you this time. Tomorrow, I'll need you to help me explain to the customers!"
Shu Yu's face was soon filled with bitterness. She shook her head and said, "Great Talent Gu, Ancient Gourmet, Chef Gu, you've really given me a difficult problem. There are so many people who like your fried eggs. How do you want me to explain it to them?"
Shu Yu shuddered when she thought about the number of people who had come to eat his fried eggs. She had to explain it to so many people tomorrow. Who knew if she could explain it to them.
Gu Zheng's omelette only sold 210 servings today, but there were more people eating it. Many omelettes were split between two people, three people, or even four people. The number of people who ate the omelettes was at least twice the number of people who sold the omelettes.
If she told four or five hundred people that there would be no more fried eggs tomorrow, she really didn't know if they would listen.
"Shu Yu, I know you must have a way. I owe you a big favor this time. I'll make it up to you next time!"
Gu Zheng also knew that it was not right to let Shu Yu do this, but he couldn't explain it himself. If he did, the effect would be worse.
"It's hard to change your decision, but you have to remember that you owe me a big favor. It's a big favor!"
Shu Yu waved her hand weakly. She really knew Gu Zheng. She knew that it was hard to change Gu Zheng's decision, so she simply didn't try to persuade him.
In fact, she had a way to explain it, but it was not easy. It was really good to make Gu Zheng owe her a big favor. In the past, she only felt that Gu Zheng was just a food critic and was very talented. Now she found that his cooking skills were not ordinary. Keeping such a favor might be of great use in the future.
"Master Gu, are you really leaving? Will you come back in the future?"
"Master Gu, can't I not leave?"
Master Wang and Young Master Xu both looked at Gu Zheng. The three of them had been in the same kitchen for so long. They were really reluctant when Gu Zheng suddenly said that he wanted to leave.
"It's not that I won't come back. I want to eat wontons and miss you. Naturally, I will come back!"
Gu Zheng smiled. He just didn't want to sell fried eggs, but he didn't say that he would leave completely. Listening to him, Master Wang and others felt better. The waiters and cashiers, in just half a month, actually admired Gu Zheng very much. They were really reluctant to let Gu Zheng leave.
Now that they heard Gu Zheng say that he would come to see them again, they all smiled.
Without waiting for them to get off work, Gu Zheng left first. He just didn't want to sell fried eggs, but he didn't want to leave them completely. There was no need to make it seem like a farewell of life and death. Besides, he still had the biggest worry in his heart. He didn't know whether he had passed the test or not.
If he passed the test, everyone would be happy. If he didn't, it would be miserable.
One hundred lashes. Thinking of the feeling of that day, Gu Zheng's mouth couldn't help but twitch. That feeling was really uncomfortable. After one hundred lashes, he didn't know whether he could still keep his life.
Even if he could keep his life, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for many days.
"Device Spirit, I'm home. Can you tell me the result of the test?"
Back home, Gu Zheng put away his things, sat on the sofa, and asked the Device Spirit seriously.
"The reason why I didn't tell you the result of the test outside is that if you fail, you will be punished immediately. That's why I asked you to come back. There are two ways to inform the result. You can ask to know the result in advance now, or you can choose to be announced by me tomorrow. You can think about it and decide on your own!"
The Artifact Spirit gave Gu Zheng a rare explanation, which caused his heart to sink. No matter how he listened to the Artifact Spirit's tone, it didn't sound like a good result.
However, the Artifact Spirit was right. If he couldn't pass the test, he definitely couldn't accept the punishment outside. If he were to suddenly be punished in front of Shu Yu and so many others, letting them see him scream in pain and grovel in pain, it would be hard to explain. The Artifact Spirit was really 'considerate'.
"Let's do it now!"
Gritting his teeth, Gu Zheng sat up straight. There was no difference between knowing the result today and tomorrow. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been so anxious. No matter what the result was, he had to bear it.
