Gu Zheng stirred the Reincarnation Fruit with egg white because he wanted to remove the poison from it. If the poison inside was not removed, it could not be used as an ingredient.
After removing the poison from the Reincarnation Fruit, Gu Zheng put it in the water and began to cook it with the Fire Control Art.
When the Reincarnation Fruit was cooked to seventy percent, the fragrance in the air was already very strong.
"It smells so good!" Lian Yuxin couldn't help but be intoxicated.
"How does it smell so good?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"I can't tell. It's like a fruity fragrance, but not quite. Anyway, it's very fresh and charming." Lian Yuxin said.
"It's not surprising that an excellent ingredient can have such a fragrance. However, the fragrance of the Reincarnation Fruit is indeed very unique. This fragrance will be very compatible with the fragrance of the Six Paths Wood Leaf. When they are fried together, the fragrance will be doubled. "Gu Zheng said.
Soon, the Reincarnation Fruit was cooked to ninety percent. Gu Zheng took it out, then heated the wok and added the Six Paths Wood Leaf and the Reincarnation Fruit to stir-fry.
Although this dish was just a simple stir-fry, the processing of the ingredients was not simple. If the ingredients were not processed well, the taste of the whole dish would not come out.
The fragrance was very strong, causing Lian Yuxin to sniff deeply again and again. Two excellent ingredients were stir-fried together, and the fragrance itself was very compatible, so the fragrance above the wok was very strong.
"Fragrant, it's really fragrant!"
Lian Yuxin's intoxicated voice paused, and then she said, "But the guest outside is really rich! Using two first-grade ingredients to cook a dish, this wasn't just an ordinary extravagance! It's better to use some intermediate ingredients and some ordinary ingredients to let the head cook a top-grade elemental cultivation increasing dish! "
"People have different ideas and pursuits. Moreover, when one's cultivation has reached the Void Return Realm, if there is no elemental gathering array, a top-grade elemental cultivation increasing dish will not have much effect."
While speaking, Gu Zheng remembered Bai Xinghui's slightly doubtful eyes and could not help but frown slightly.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation was ready. When Lian Yuxin was about to take it, Gu Zheng said, "I'll go!"
Gu Zheng felt that Bai Xinghui might not be easy to talk to, so he decided to send him over personally.
The 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' has been placed on Bai Xinghui's table. Among the red and green, there are glimmers of light. The shadow of the Reincarnation Fruit, formed by the fragrance, is flying quickly on the plate.
"Sigh!"
Seeing the appetizing Six Paths of Reincarnation, Bai Xinghui shook his head, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of Six Paths Leaf and put it in his mouth.
"Bah!"
Rikudo Konoha had just taken a bite when Bai Xinghui spat it on the ground.
"Boss, aren't your culinary skills too bad?" Bai Xinghui frowned.
Gu Zheng's brows were tightly knitted together. "Are you here to cause trouble?"
"I'm not looking for trouble, but you've made the Six Paths of Reincarnation into such a mess. It makes me wonder if you're a real Immortal Chef! Even if you don't know how to make the Six Paths of Reincarnation, you've made two excellent ingredients into such a mess. It really makes me speechless! "Bai Xinghui shook his head.
"I think you're really here to cause trouble, right? If you're not an Immortal Chef, who can make such a taste? Who can carefully process the ingredients? "Lian Yuxin couldn't help but ask.
"Haha!" Bai Xinghui sneered. "Soaking the Six Paths Leaf in water and then detoxifying the Reincarnation Fruit. Is this the so-called 'carefully processing'? It can be said that anyone with a little bit of culinary knowledge will do these two most basic steps before cooking! You asked me, if I'm not an Immortal Chef, who can make such a taste? I'll tell you now, as long as you have a little bit of culinary knowledge, you can make such a taste! You're running an Immortal Chef Shop, but you can only make such a dish. It makes me feel like you're cheating me! "Bai Xinghui said angrily.
"You …"
Lian Yuxin wanted to say something, but Gu Zheng raised his hand to stop her.
"You know how to make this dish, and you dislike the taste of my dish. It seems like you're an Immortal Chef who came to challenge my shop?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"I'm not an Immortal Chef. I'm just an immortal cultivator who frequented your Immortal Chef Shop in the Desolate Era. I just feel that your dish is not good enough, so I said what I think," Bai Xinghui said.
"Sect Master Gu, what's going on?"
At this time, a guest in another private room heard the dispute and came out.
This guest was a rough-looking man with a late-stage Void Return cultivation base. His name was Chen Yue, and this was the second time he came to the Extreme Fragrance Small House to eat.
"Someone doubts my dish." Gu Zheng smiled at Chen Yue.
"Fellow Daoist, Sect Master Gu made this dish for you. Do you mind if I try it?" Chen Yue looked at Bai Xinghui and asked.
"Of course."
Bai Xinghui smiled slightly, appearing very amiable.
Chen Yue picked up a leaf of the Six Paths Tree and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he picked up a Reincarnation Fruit and tasted it.
"Fellow Daoist, from a fair point of view, I think Sect Master Gu's dish has no problem with its taste," Chen Yue said seriously.
"Fellow Daoist, have you eaten the real Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
Facing Bai Xinghui's question, Chen Yue shook his head.
"If you haven't eaten it, you can't make a conclusion. After all, it's a high-quality ingredient. Even if you find a maid to cook it, the taste …"
"Enough!" Gu Zheng interrupted Bai Xinghui. "Tell me, what do you want?"
"What do I want?" Bai Xinghui smiled faintly and said, "I won't ask you to compensate me with anything else. You just need to return all the resources I gave you."
"Return all the resources? Are you dreaming? After all, this is the Extremely Fragrant Little Villa, not the Immortal Kitchen Store you've been to. Everyone has their own preferences. You said that my dish tastes bad, but it only means that you don't like it. It doesn't mean anything else. "
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, Fellow Daoist Chen has tasted it just now. There's no problem with it."
"Sect Master, don't say anything to this guy. I think he's here to cause trouble!" Lian Yuxin said angrily.
Bai Xinghui just glanced at Lian Yuxin, then looked at Gu Zheng. "What? Do you want to fight? "
"If you continue to cause trouble, it's not impossible to fight," Gu Zheng said.
"You say I'm causing trouble? I think you're the one who's causing trouble! Although I'm not an Immortal Chef, if I use the Six Paths Tree and Reincarnation Fruit to make the Six Paths of Reincarnation taste better than yours, what will you say? Doesn't this mean that your reputation is undeserved, and this Extremely Fragrant Little Villa can't be considered an Immortal Kitchen Store? "Bai Xinghui said.
"Haha!" Gu Zheng laughed. "You still say you're not here to challenge me? This is your purpose today, isn't it? "
"No, it's not." Bai Xinghui shook his head. "I'm here to eat, but the dishes I ordered are not good. You don't want to admit that your cooking is not good, so I can only use this method to prove that your cooking is really not good. Only then can I get my resources back, right?"
"Okay! If you use the same things, and you can cook better than me, then I'll pay for all your expenses for the two Six Paths of Reincarnation! "Gu Zheng said.
"If you want to refund my resources, we won't say anything. But if you want me to prove that your Six Paths of Reincarnation is really bad, then just compensating me for my expenses is not enough! According to the rules of your Immortal Kitchen Store, if you make a customized dish, you need to pay 22% of the total value of the resources. So, if my Six Paths of Reincarnation tastes better than yours, I need to pay 22% of the total resources I spent. This request is not too much, right? "Bai Xinghui said.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng shrugged, then said seriously, "But what if your cooking is not as good as mine?"
"If it's not as good as yours, then I don't want the resources I paid. In addition, I'll give you the remuneration I gave when you ordered the dishes. How about that?" Bai Xinghui said.
"No, if your cooking is not as good as mine, then you need to pay me 50% of the total value of the resources as remuneration!" Gu Zheng said.
"50%? Why don't you rob me! "
Bai Xinghui's eyes widened. In fact, he was not 100% sure that he could defeat Gu Zheng. After all, Gu Zheng was an Immortal Chef, and the taste of his dishes was really not bad. Today, he came mainly to kill Gu Zheng's arrogance and help Nan Yichen vent his anger. If Gu Zheng admitted defeat or acted arrogantly, his purpose would be achieved.
But now, Gu Zheng showed extreme dissatisfaction and contempt, which was the situation that Bai Xinghui did not want to see.
"Since you dare to doubt my cooking and dare to say it's better than mine, are you afraid of 50%? If you are not 100% sure, take back your previous evaluation of my cooking, apologize to me, leave Foggy Wind Island, and never come to the Extremely Fragrant Villa again! "Gu Zheng sneered.
"Okay, 50% it is!"
Bai Xinghui gritted his teeth and agreed. Gu Zheng did what he wanted, which made it difficult for him to withdraw. Otherwise, he would lose face.
However, even if Gu Zheng did what he said, he was not worried. At worst, he could add something else and then cancel the competition. In this way, he could make a scene in the Extremely Fragrant Villa and finally leave unscathed, which would save his face.
Of course, Gu Zheng did not know what Bai Xinghui was thinking. When he saw Bai Xinghui agree, his eyes fell on Chen Yue.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, can you be a notary for us?" Gu Zheng looked at Chen Yue.
"No problem. I have just tasted the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' made by Sect Leader Gu. I will try this fellow Daoist's cooking later."
Chen Yue said and turned to Bai Xinghui. "Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you are willing to be a notary?"
"You can be a judge. Just swear an Oath of Heart Demon and be impartial," Bai Xinghui said after thinking for a while.
An Oath of Heart Demon was less binding for cultivators, but it was very binding for immortal cultivators. No immortal cultivator dared to make a joke of an Oath of Heart Demon, unless they did not want to advance or wanted to die.
"An Oath of Heart Demon!"
Chen Yue hesitated. He did not intend to be biased towards Gu Zheng, but an Oath of Heart Demon was very strange. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better not to swear it.
However, Chen Yue was really curious about Bai Xinghui's cooking challenge to Gu Zheng.
Just as Chen Yue gritted his teeth and decided to swear an Oath of Heart Demon, Bai Xinghui said, "Wait a moment. I have something to say first."
Bai Xinghui smiled and said, "Although Sect Leader Gu has never heard of the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' that I ordered, as a true Immortal Chef, you should know what the best combination is when you see the ingredients, right?"
"The so-called best combination is determined based on one's understanding of the Dao. It is not absolute."
Gu Zheng frowned. He felt that he had fallen into Bai Xinghui's trap from the beginning. Bai Xinghui did not mention the cooking method of the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' at first, but now he asked this question. There must be something wrong! Therefore, he also blurred the definition of some things.
"It's fine as long as an Immortal Chef has the ability. If Sect Leader Gu does not think so, it means that your skills are not high among Immortal Chefs. Moreover, when I said that you were an Immortal Chef, I did not tell you the original cooking method of this dish. Your answer was that the taste of your dish would definitely not be bad! "Bai Xinghui said.
"Don't try to change the concept. You have to learn everything! At first, I said, 'If you don't tell me how to cook it, the dish I make may be different from what you have eaten before, but the taste will definitely not be bad.' Those were my original words! "Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, you still remember your original words. Then, I will use the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' in my heart to compare with you. Is this acceptable?" Bai Xinghui smiled.
"The 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' in your heart?" Gu Zheng frowned. "Okay! As long as you don't add any other ingredients, just the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' made with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Leaf and the Reincarnation Fruit, it will be fine! "
"I won't add any other ingredients, but I can use some supplementary ingredients that are different from what Sect Leader Gu used, right? After all, when I ordered the dish, I asked Sect Leader Gu if he needed any supplementary ingredients, and Sect Leader Gu's answer was no! "Bai Xinghui said.
"So, this is the trick!" Gu Zheng smiled coldly.
Cultivators were unlikely to bring oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar with them, so the supplementary ingredients they ordered were all provided by the Extremely Fragrant Small House. At first, Gu Zheng didn't expect that Bai Xinghui's seemingly unimportant words would be used at this time.
"Some supplementary ingredients have little influence on cooking, while some have a great impact on cooking. This is something that anyone with a little bit of culinary knowledge should know. Take out your supplementary materials first. If it's the kind that won't have too big of an effect, that's fine. But if it's the kind that has a bigger effect, then the competition will lose its fairness. Naturally, there's no need to continue the competition, "said Gu Zheng.
When he heard Gu Zheng say that there was no need to continue the competition, Bai Xinghui was happy in his heart, but his face was full of disappointment and mockery.
"Look! These are the supplementary ingredients used in the original 'Six Paths of Reincarnation'. "
Bai Xinghui took out some small jade bottles from his storage belt.
Gu Zheng probed with his divine sense and knew what was inside the bottles.
"Salt can be used, oil can be used, Sea Pepper Sauce can be used, Celestial Ginger Powder can be used, Vermillion Fruit Jam can be used!" Gu Zheng said.
Gu Zheng only added oil and salt in the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation'. It was reasonable to say that it would be fair if Bai Xinghui didn't use sea pepper sauce, heavenly ginger powder, and cinnabar jam, but Gu Zheng was confident that even if he used these things, he wouldn't be able to make any big waves.
However, after a cold smile, Gu Zheng continued, "You can't use heavenly ash powder, and you can't use immortal mushroom powder either!"
Heavenly ash powder was made from the ashes of a special plant. As for immortal mushroom powder, it was a seasoning powder made from several high-grade mushrooms by roasting or drying them in the shade. The effect of this seasoning powder was very good, and it was many times better than the 'Flavor Enhancement Flower' that could enhance the freshness of food.
"Fellow Daoist, you're going too far. Although I'm not good at cooking, I know that immortal mushroom powder is a seasoning used by immortal chefs, and it's very precious. Sect Leader Gu didn't add immortal mushroom powder in the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation'. If you add immortal mushroom powder, it's very unfair. "
Chen Yue paused and looked at Gu Zheng. "Sect Leader Gu, why don't you let him use heavenly ash powder?"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, immortal mushroom powder is not as simple as seasoning! If immortal mushroom powder is used, the best way to cook the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' is not to stir-fry, but to stew! As for heavenly ash powder, it's also a special supplementary ingredient that can change the cooking method of the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation', "Gu Zheng said.
After seeing the supplementary ingredients that Bai Xinghui took out, Gu Zheng's idea of how to cook the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' had changed greatly. The 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' cooked with these supplementary ingredients would definitely taste better than the one he made before.
"Fellow Daoist, is what Sect Leader Gu said true?"
Although Chen Yue hadn't made the Heart Demon Oath and wasn't a real notary, he was already playing the role of a notary.
"I'm not sure if it's like what he said, but the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' I've eaten before were all cooked like this." Bai Xinghui shrugged and smiled.
"If you want to compete, don't use heavenly ash powder and immortal mushroom powder. After all, I've already asked you to use sea pepper sauce, vermillion fruit sauce, and heavenly ginger powder," Gu Zheng said.
"That won't do. If I want to compete, I have to use these supplementary ingredients!" Bai Xinghui said firmly.
"If that's the case, then take back your previous evaluation of my cooking skills, apologize to me, and leave Foggy Wind Island. Don't ever come to the Extremely Fragrant Villa again!" Gu Zheng sneered.
"What's wrong? Are you bullying your customers? "Gu Zheng said.
"It's not that. It's just that it doesn't make sense like what you said. You added supplementary ingredients that can affect the dish. How can Sect Leader Gu compete with you?" Chen Yue shook his head.
"I can leave now, and I won't come to the Extremely Fragrant Villa again. But I refuse to apologize. After all, what I want is the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' I've eaten before. It's the shop owner who was too confident. He thought that with his supplementary ingredients, he could cook a 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' that's not inferior to the original! "
Bai Xinghui felt very good. He could leave after messing up the Extremely Fragrant Villa. It was really good.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was silent, Bai Xinghui said proudly, "Boss, you're a businessman. You're not going to force me to stay here, are you? I'm not afraid to tell you that when I came here, I left a 'blood energy mark' on my friend. So, we're not the only ones who know what happened here! "
