Duck blood and vermicelli soup, the main ingredient of duck blood and the supplementary ingredients of duck liver and duck intestines, were all garbage ingredients. They enhanced the taste through cooking, but the grade of the ingredients could not be changed. The grade of the ingredients also indicated the source of the ingredients. Most of the ingredients were garbage.
Another main ingredient, vermicelli, was a low-grade ingredient. It was made of ordinary sweet potato powder and groundwater. Through the explanation of the spirit, Gu Zheng guessed that these vermicelli were collected from the countryside. Only the countryside could use groundwater on a large scale. It was not allowed in the city.
The water source of the vermicelli soup was a bit beyond Gu Zheng's expectation. Gu Zheng thought that they used tap water to boil the soup. After all, many restaurants in the city used tap water. He did not expect that they used mineral water.
The quality of the mineral water was low. Although it was low, it was much better than the garbage quality tap water. This kind of water did not have the smell of bleaching powder, which could increase the concentration of the soup. This was the second low-grade ingredient in this soup.
There were also the ingredients they used. The salt was sea salt, which was of low quality. The MSG was a garbage ingredient. There were all kinds of low-grade ingredients. In general, there were two kinds of low-grade ingredients and three kinds of garbage.
Of all the ingredients in the soup, about 40% were low-grade ingredients. With these 40% low-grade ingredients and the chef's culinary skills, the taste of the soup improved a lot. It was no wonder that there were so many small shops selling duck blood and vermicelli soup, but the business here was the best. When Gu Zheng was eating, there were already people lining up. If he hadn't come in early, he would probably have to line up like these people.
"This is it!"
Gu Zheng only ate a few mouthfuls of the duck blood and vermicelli soup. It tasted good, but it was still too bad compared to the fried eggs Gu Zheng had in the morning. He had eaten so many fried eggs in the morning. Gu Zheng did not want to be affected by these food too much. He simply tasted it and left it there.
Gu Zheng did not eat much, but it did not affect his evaluation. Finally, he decided to hand in the manuscript for Mumu to write the vermicelli soup here.
Taking out the camera, Gu Zheng secretly took a few photos and left with satisfaction. The purpose of this trip was completed. One was to give the money to Shu Yu, and the other was to find delicious food. When he went back, he could finish the manuscript that Mumu urged.
Both tasks were completed. Gu Zheng's heart relaxed a lot. He hummed a song and walked slowly to the subway station.
"Master Gu?"
He had only taken a few steps when a voice suddenly called out to him. A car by the side of the road drove directly to his side. It did not care if it was allowed to stop here. The car window was rolled down, and the person who called out to him stuck his head out.
"It's you!"
Gu Zheng was stunned. The person in the car quickly got out and looked at Gu Zheng from head to toe. Finally, he said, "You're not sick. Why did the people in the shop say that you're sick and can't come to the shop? Why are you here?"
The person who got out of the car was none other than Gold-Rimmed Glasses, who was the first to discover the method of sharing fried eggs. He was also one of the few customers that Gu Zheng knew, and he had a deep impression of him. Back then, when someone questioned Gu Zheng about the exorbitant profits from fried eggs, he was the one who finally helped him out.
"I'm not feeling well. That's why I came out to see the doctor!"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes and said quickly. He was worried that he would meet a regular customer who wanted to eat fried eggs, so he deliberately went around a few streets. He didn't expect to meet him.
"I see. I happen to be free. I'll send Master Gu to the hospital!"
Gold-Rimmed Glasses suddenly smiled and immediately invited Gu Zheng to get in the car. It was a black car. Gu Zheng usually did not have a deep understanding of cars, but he recognized the brand. It was a Volkswagen.
There were many Volkswagen cars in Shen City. Even people who did not know about cars basically knew this brand.
"No, I've already seen the doctor. The doctor asked me to go back and have a good rest!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly waved his hand. He was fine at all. How could he go to the hospital? What's more, the hospital was full of poisonous things. For him, it was tantamount to a mountain of knives and a sea of fire. Before Gokusen's immortal art reached the second realm, he was absolutely unwilling to step into such a place.
"Then I'll send Master Gu home. I happen to be free!"
Gold-Rimmed Glasses smiled and invited Gu Zheng to get in the car. Gu Zheng could only refuse again, saying that his home was nearby and he didn't need to trouble himself.
"Master Gu, although I'm not a doctor, I've been in business for many years. I always know how to judge people. You don't look like you're sick. Today, in order to eat your fried eggs, I went to the shop early in the morning. Now I've sent my staff to wait there. What do you think if I let the staff tell the waiting people that you're fine, Master Gu, just strolling on the street and coming out of a duck blood and vermicelli shop?"
Gold-Rimmed Glasses smiled maliciously. It turned out that he had already seen Gu Zheng and knew that Gu Zheng came out of the duck blood and vermicelli soup shop. Now Gu Zheng's lie was suddenly exposed.
"Sir, that restaurant is not mine. It's opened by my classmate. As for me, I'm a food critic. I'm making omelets there purely to experience life. I'll only be there for half a month. We've agreed at the beginning. Therefore, I won't go there anymore!"
Gu Zheng had no choice but to tell the truth. However, his lie was exposed, and he looked very embarrassed.
"So, you won't sell fried eggs in the future?" Gold-Rimmed Glasses frowned.
"That's true!" Gu Zheng nodded in response.
Gold-Rimmed Glasses smiled and continued, "So that's the case. Then I won't let my staff wait foolishly. Anyway, Master Gu won't go there again!"
"That's the best. Thank you for your understanding, sir!"
Gu Zheng did not expect Gold-Rimmed Glasses to be so easy to talk to. He immediately smiled gratefully. This customer was indeed very considerate. He was the first to find the loophole in the rules. He was also the one who helped him out. Now, he was so reasonable. People with quality were different.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng's smile didn't last long, and it immediately froze again.
"I can understand Master Gu, and I hope Master Gu can understand me. Your fried eggs are so delicious. It's okay if I didn't meet you, but since I met you, it's our fate. I can help Master Gu keep it a secret. I won't let them know that you're not sick, and I won't sell fried eggs again. There's only one condition. You must sell me a fried egg today!"
Gold-Rimmed Glasses stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Gu Zheng's eyes. As he said, he really didn't meet Gu Zheng who couldn't buy fried eggs and had to give up. Just like when he went on a business trip before, he also didn't eat fried eggs for a few days.
But when he met it, it was as if the delicious food was in front of him. At this time, how could he control himself? He was like a man who had been hungry for many years. It was fine if he didn't have a woman, but if there was a naked woman in front of him, he wouldn't be a man if he could still endure it.
This metaphor was a bit exaggerated, but the mood was the same.
