"Why aren't you talking?"
After waiting for a while, Gu Zheng still didn't hear the Artifact Spirit's voice. This wasn't in line with the Artifact Spirit's style. Shouldn't it add 'but' or 'but' at this time, and then say 'since you've received an additional reward, you need to undergo an additional test'?
"What did you say?" The Tool Spirit asked doubtfully.
"Test? Are you saying that the extra reward is given for free? Is there no test?"
Gu Zheng said very naturally. The Tool Spirit's nature was that it would never give something for free. Now, he had given it a mid-grade ingredient, a seed, and the Glutton Immortal Cooking Skill. With so many good things, how could the Tool Spirit be balanced if he didn't give it a more difficult test?
"No, there will not be a test immediately after the reward. This is Lord Gokusen's order!"
The Tool Spirit said lightly. Gu Zheng was stunned, and then his face showed joy. No test, there was no test, and it was Gokusen's order.
Gu Zheng thought of something and immediately asked, "No, then why did you give me a new test immediately after the last test?"
"Last time was just an entry test, not a real test. This time is!"
"So that's how it is. Master is so good. He knows the Tool Spirit's character and deliberately left a trick up his sleeve!"
Gu Zheng nodded satisfyingly. It seemed like the Glutton Immortal knew about the Tool Spirit's temperament. He purposely arranged for the Tool Spirit to not give him another test. Finally, Gu Zheng had a chance to take a breather. When he received the reward, he was scared that he would be given another test that was difficult to complete.
This Tool Spirit was bad enough. Why didn't he tell him earlier that Lord Gokusen had such an order? He worried for nothing for so long.
"Let's see how much money I made these days!"
Without a test, Gu Zheng's mood was unprecedentedly relaxed. He immediately remembered that he hadn't counted the money he made from selling fried eggs these days.
These days, when he left the store every day, the cashier would give him the money for the fried eggs. Every time, it was cash. When Gu Zheng came back, he was busy improving the quality of the eggs and threw the money in a box in the study. He had never counted it.
"There are actually so many!"
It was an empty suitcase, the kind that was twenty-four inches long. It was quite big, and it was filled with all kinds of notes. Although it was just scattered and not a lot of money, it still looked like a lot. At least the visual impact was not bad.
After counting for a while, Gu Zheng finally finished counting the money. There was actually more than 120,000 yuan.
After doing some calculations, Gu Zheng had sold a total of about 1,400 eggs in fifteen days. On average, he sold less than 100 eggs a day. However, he sold more eggs in the later stages. With 1,400 eggs sold at 88 yuan each, he had earned more than 120,000 yuan.
In the past few days, he had spent less than five thousand yuan on the raw materials for the eggs. He had taken out his own money, as well as mineral water, oil, and salt. As for the sesame oil, he had specially gone to the place that the boss had mentioned. It was a small workshop, but it was very clean. He had also bought twenty pounds of sesame oil. Otherwise, it would not have been enough.
Adding everything together, Gu Zheng had spent about 20,000 yuan. More than half of the cost was the mineral water imported from France. He had no choice. This was the only water source that he could use now. No matter how expensive it was, he had to use it.
After deducting the cost, there was still a profit of nearly 100,000 yuan. In half a month, he had earned nearly 100,000 yuan. Gu Zheng had never made such a profit before.
After tidying up all the money, Gu Zheng thought for a while and took out another 40,000 yuan and put it aside. He had previously told Shu Yu that he wanted to split it 30-70. The 30% given to Shu Yu was less than 40,000 yuan. Gu Zheng might as well make it a round number.
40,000 yuan was a lot, but this time, Shu Yu had fully cooperated with him. Not only did she allow him to occupy the space in the shop without reservation, she also gave him support in many ways to help him solve his problems. Without Shu Yu's cooperation, it would not have been so easy to complete this test. If he had set up a stall on the street, not to mention whether he could set it up successfully, the order of the scene would be very troublesome. It was not like Shu Yu's shop, where there was always someone helping him.
Shu Yu had said that he did not want to split the profits, but these words were directly thrown to the back of Gu Zheng's mind.
After counting the money, Gu Zheng re-entered the Chaotic Space. He did not need to improve the eggs today, but these days, he had been in the Chaotic Space and it had become a habit. It would feel strange if he did not go in and do something.
In fact, this was the second time he had come to the Chaotic Space today. Previously, he had received his reward here. He still had about 13 minutes.
"It's about to ripen? So fast?"
After entering for less than two minutes, Gu Zheng was stunned. Then, he cried out in surprise. The immortal rice and immortal vegetables that he had planted before were actually about to ripen. Calculating the time, it had been less than 20 days since he had planted these two ingredients from the Immortal World.
"The maturity period of these two ingredients is the same, 20 days. Normally, it would take another two days for them to ripen. However, these days, you have been improving the quality of the raw eggs here every day, which has stimulated the immortal energy in the space. They have absorbed more immortal energy and the maturity period has also been brought forward by two days!"
"Immortal energy can also accelerate their growth?"
Gu Zheng walked to the side of the immortal rice and immortal vegetables. Ten stalks of immortal rice were filled with heavy rice ears. They were lush and verdant, like the blue of the deep sea. The immortal vegetables did not have a trace of impurities. They looked so cute and so tempting.
"Immortal energy can improve the ingredients, and can also accelerate the growth of the ingredients. When your strength increases in the future, you will find that immortal energy has more uses!"
The Artifact Spirit said indifferently. Gu Zheng had already squatted down to carefully observe the ripened immortal rice. These days, he had entered the Chaotic Space every day, but every time, he was in a hurry to improve the eggs. He had never carefully observed them. He did not expect that there would be time, and the two ingredients from the Immortal World had also ripened.
"How do I harvest?"
After looking for a while, Gu Zheng thought of a key problem. He did not know how to harvest immortal rice. In reality, he had never done such farm work. The immortal vegetables looked very simple, but he did not know if they could be used after being plucked.
"The harvesting of ingredients from the Immortal World requires the use of immortal energy. You need to condense your immortal energy in your palm, gently press it in the middle, and then pull it up. The immortal rice will automatically fly out of the rice. You just need to prepare the tools to hold it!"
"Hold it, I don't have any tools. Wait, I will go out and get one first!"
Gu Zheng remembered that he came in empty-handed and hurriedly left the Chaotic Space. When he returned home, he took a ceramic rice box. The rice box was not big, but it was very exquisite. He also took a bamboo basket. It was not the kind used to hold eggs, but the one that Gu Zheng usually used to buy vegetables.
The bamboo basket was very clean and could be used to hold the immortal vegetables.
"Pull!"
Back in the Chaotic Space, Gu Zheng used the method taught by the Artifact Spirit. He circulated his immortal energy in his palm and used his strength to lift up a stalk of immortal rice. Soon, the immortal rice was pulled out by him. The rice ears automatically opened, and the slender rice grains that were as white as jade quickly flew into the rice box.
"So simple!"
Gu Zheng grinned foolishly. A stalk of immortal rice had more grains than normal rice, but there was a limit to it. The rice box only had a small layer at the bottom. Now, it looked like this immortal rice could be completely contained in one rice box.
"Up!"
Gu Zheng pulled up a second stalk of immortal rice. The second stalk of immortal rice quickly flew into the rice box. With two experiences, Gu Zheng was even more proficient in harvesting immortal rice. He harvested immortal rice stalk after immortal rice stalk. Soon, he had harvested the seventh stalk.
Just as the seventh stalk of immortal rice was pulled out, the fog in the Chaotic Space suddenly rolled. A gust of wind also appeared where Gu Zheng was. Gu Feng subconsciously protected the immortal rice in his hand.
