Gu Zheng's face became as bitter as a bitter gourd. The gold-rimmed glasses were not that easy to fool.
The gold-rimmed glasses promised to keep the secret for him, but it was not without a price. That was, he had to make fried eggs for him. Otherwise, he would tell everyone who wanted to eat fried eggs that Gu Zheng deliberately deceived everyone and would never sell fried eggs in the future.
Actually, it would not affect Gu Zheng much if he told others. However, it would be a disaster for Shu Yu. After all, Shu Yu used his illness as an excuse to deceive everyone. If they knew that they were deceived, who knew how much trouble they would cause.
"It's not impossible if you want fried eggs, but you have to come to my house!"
With a sigh, Gu Zheng compromised. It was better to make fried eggs for one person than to be dragged back to make fried eggs for all the time. Besides, he did not have so many ingredients to make fried eggs now.
"Deal!"
The gold-rimmed glasses snapped his fingers. His purpose was only to eat fried eggs. He did not care where he went at all. Even if he had to go to a roadside stall, as long as the fried eggs tasted the same as Gu Zheng's fried eggs, he would be fine with it. He was not a person who cared about the quality of the fried eggs. As long as the taste satisfied him, he was willing to go anywhere.
If he cared, with his status, he would not go to Shu Yu's restaurant to eat wontons every day.
"The house is quite big. Do you live alone?"
The gold-rimmed glasses and Gu Zheng went back home. He asked the driver to wait in the car while he followed Gu Zheng upstairs. He was also surprised by Gu Zheng's big house.
The price of such a big house in Shen City was more than eight digits. Even if Gu Zheng's fried eggs were very profitable, it would still take a long time to buy such a house.
"My dad bought the house. He is abroad, so I am the only one at home. What do you want to drink?"
Although there was an element of coercion, Gu Zheng was still a guest at home. Therefore, he still asked.
"No need. You can make the fried eggs. I can't wait anymore!"
The gold-rimmed glasses shook his head. He did not want to drink anything now. He only wanted to eat one of Gu Zheng's fried eggs. He had never thought that he would be so anxious about a fried egg. There had never been any food that could attract him so much.
"Alright then, go get whatever you want from the fridge!"
Gu Zheng went into the kitchen. There were many eggs, salt, sesame oil, and mineral water that had been upgraded. He turned on the stove and poured in the oil. Soon, the familiar smell came through the gap of the kitchen door.
"This is the smell!"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses sat at the dining table and waited. He narrowed his eyes and sniffed with his nose. He felt proud in his heart. So many people who went to eat fried eggs today had come in vain. He was lucky enough to meet Gu Zheng and be able to eat fried eggs at his house.
Soon, a fried egg was ready. Gu Zheng took it out and placed it on the table.
The gold-rimmed glasses couldn't wait to pick it up. The white and tender egg white and the agate-like egg yolk were the real fried eggs. The fried eggs he wanted were totally different from the fried eggs sold in Shu Yu's restaurant for 5 RMB. Although the fried eggs sold for 5 RMB were cheap, they were still not the taste he wanted. Therefore, he wouldn't eat them.
The one in front of him was what he wanted.
The fried egg was not big. The gold-rimmed glasses finished it quickly. He licked his lips and looked at Gu Zheng again.
"You want more? Then I'll fry another one for you!"
Gu Zheng glanced at him and then turned to enter the kitchen. The man with the gold-rimmed glasses was stunned for a moment and then became excited. He indeed wanted another one. However, Gu Zheng had always been very principled. He could only buy one fried egg, and only one per person.
He did not expect to meet Gu Zheng this time. Not only did he give him one fried egg, but he could also fry two for him. It was totally unexpected and pleasantly surprised.
How could he know that Gu Zheng's previous restrictions were all because of the device spirit? The device spirit also made so many restrictions for his test. Without those restrictions, he might not have been able to complete the test. Now that the test was over, all the restrictions were removed.
Two fried eggs were not enough. Gu Zheng continued to fry several more. After the gold-rimmed glasses ate ten, Gu Zheng no longer gave him any more. It was not that there was no more stock. It was just that it was not good to eat too many eggs at one time. Gu Zheng himself only ate eight. His ten was two more than Gu Zheng's eight.
Ten fried eggs, even if they were small, were enough to fill his stomach. The gold-rimmed glasses no longer insisted. It was a complete accident that he could eat ten at one time. He was already very satisfied.
"Master Gu, your cooking skills are really amazing. Here's the money for the fried eggs. Please count it!"
The gold-rimmed glasses took out a dozen money. The fried eggs were not for free. Ten fried eggs were 880 RMB. He counted out 880 RMB and put it on the table.
"Just put it there. Don't forget our agreement!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand. Money was not important, as long as he did not cause trouble for Shu Yu. The gold-rimmed glasses did not look like an ordinary gold-collar worker. He should be a boss or a big boss.
"Don't worry, I will definitely remember this agreement!"
The gold-rimmed glasses left happily. It was an accident that he met Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng sold him the fried eggs on the spot. He ate ten fried eggs. This time, he really ate to his heart's content. That was a big surprise.
With such a surprise, coupled with the lingering fragrance of the fried eggs in his mouth and stomach, he was now in a very good mood. Even his steps were light.
"Boss, where are we going next?"
The gold-rimmed glasses got in the car and the driver asked carefully. The gold-rimmed glasses thought for a moment and suddenly showed a trace of annoyance.
"Just now, I should have ordered a few more to pack for the old man. Since I can buy more, it should be no problem to pack them. Unfortunately, I only care about eating by myself. Forget it. Let's go to the old man's place first and pack them for him next time. The old man's appetite has been getting worse and worse recently. Master Gu's fried eggs should be able to improve his appetite!"
The gold-rimmed glasses talked to himself. The driver did not speak and drove the car out.
After sending the gold-rimmed glasses away, Gu Zheng called Shu Yu again. He was relieved after confirming that she was fine. Since she said that she was sick, it was better not to show up there these days to avoid an accident like today's.
"Confusion and Embarrassment of Traditional Famous Food!"
Turning on the computer, Gu Zheng began to write today's food review. He gave it a name like a thesis. This was also his real realization today. The duck blood and vermicelli soup itself was not bad. It was a famous traditional snack. If the quality of the duck used as the main ingredient was better, or the quality of all the ingredients was above low-grade, the taste of the duck blood and vermicelli soup could be better.
This kind of duck blood and vermicelli soup could even be compared with those famous century-old shops.
Gu Zheng wrote the article very quickly. First, he recognized the taste. Compared with other shops, this shop was more honest. Then he began to criticize the raw materials. The choice of duck was wrong. It should have been free-range duck, not reared duck, even if the price of free-range duck was higher. The water source was mineral water, but other raw materials such as MSG were purchased at random. Some small details eventually affected the overall rating. Gu Zheng finally gave the duck blood and vermicelli soup a score of 59, which was not a pass.
It was impossible for Gu Zheng to give a high score to a food that had been evaluated as trash by the Artifact Spirit. The reason why it was able to get 59 points was because it had its own uniqueness.
After writing the article, Gu Zheng slightly revised it and sent it. Mumu gave him three days. He finished it in less than half a day, which made him a little proud.
But he did not know that Gu Zheng's article was quickly circulated in the editorial department. Then the editorial department of the gourmet channel immediately spread a sentence – 'The Venomous Tongue Reappears'.
