The fish offal stewing in the pot was done very quickly. Gu Zheng opened the lid of the roasted fish and poured the broth into the pot along with the fish offal.
"Boom …"
A strange noise was heard as the white mist produced by the collision of the fish offal and the fish offal formed a mushroom cloud.
Gu Zheng hurriedly closed the lid of the plate, and then continued to use the Water Control Art on the plate, on the Dragon Whiskered Fish that needed the finishing touch.
"It smells so good!"
Gulp!
Meow Meow and Lian Yuxin didn't wake up from the mushroom cloud until Gu Zheng finished his training.
"It's so special, Mister!" Meow Meow said.
"How special?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"The fragrance just now was like a cultivator smelling the rice milk you brewed. They would faint if they took a deep breath!" Meow Meow said.
"What about the fragrance now?"
Gu Zheng laughed. The fragrance now, although not in the form of a mushroom cloud, was so thick that it covered the entire plate.
"The fragrance now, although not as strong as before, is even more tempting. The former is like strong wine, and the latter is like aged wine!" Meow Meow said.
"What an aged wine! Let's go, it's time to eat! "
Gu Zheng personally carried the plate and walked towards the private dining room in the Extremely Fragrant Villa.
Only Yang Meow was well-behaved, waiting in the room obediently. When Gu Zheng and Meow Meow entered, she wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth in embarrassment.
"Gurgle gurgle …"
The Yang Family's younger sister's stomach let out a growl.
"Young Master, don't make me wait here next time. You should let me go and help you! Looking at the dishes on the table, smelling the fragrance coming from the kitchen, and listening to your laughter, I feel that this is the cruelest punishment in the world, "the Yang Family's sister said with a bitter expression.
"Okay, I won't make you wait next time. Let's eat!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, the Yang sisters hurriedly filled the bowl with rice, while Meow Meow and Lian Yuxin hurriedly opened the lids of the three dishes and one soup on the table.
"Isn't this too biased?"
Gu Zheng, who was just about to lift the lid of the grilled fish, looked at the three women who were staring at the grilled fish with dissatisfaction. They didn't even look at the three dishes and soup on the table.
"Of course not!"
"Haven't I already seen it?"
"To be honest, this grilled fish is still the most fragrant. I'm looking forward to it the most!"
The three girls giggled, but Gu Zheng rolled his eyes.
"Hmph, today, there are three dishes and one soup, plus the main course. There's also a grilled fish that weighs more than six catties. The three of you will stuff yourselves to death!"
Gu Zheng snorted as he lifted the lid of the grilled fish.
There was a thick mist outside the lid, and there was also a thick mist inside the lid. The two quickly merged and entered the grilled fish.
"Wow!"
The three girls exclaimed at the same time. They never expected that the grilled fish would be placed on the plate like a whole fish at this time. Moreover, the fish scales, which had gone through several processes, were now sticking to the grilled fish as if they hadn't been processed at all. The original fish offal and jadeite meat slices had disappeared. There was no need to think about it. They must have been wrapped in the fish's belly.
The golden fish, the milky white soup, and the extremely fragrant Dragon Whiskered Fish, which had taken shape, were pushing the grilled fish's body. The grilled fish seemed to have really come to life. It was twisting its body left and right on the plate, and its mouth was opening and closing.
"Foodies, don't be silly. Let's eat?"
Gu Zheng said as he put his chopsticks down and accurately picked up a dragon ball.
The so-called dragon ball was the fish eye. After the fish was cooked, the dragon ball would harden and there was no way to eat it. However, the Dragon Whiskered Fish was different. Its dragon ball wouldn't harden because it was cooked. Most of the immortal core power in a fish was condensed in the two dragon balls.
"The remaining dragon ball is rewarded to Meow Meow."
Gu Zheng said before putting the dragon ball into his mouth.
"That's great!"
Meow Meow didn't know that dragon balls were delicious. Now that she saw Gu Zheng leave one for her, she immediately knew that it was a treasure. She quickly picked up the other dragon ball, as if it would be snatched away if she was too slow.
Gu Zheng had already put the dragon ball into his mouth. The fragrant and smooth taste had a stimulating spicy taste.
With a gentle bite of his teeth, the soup, which was many times more delicious than the fish soup, entered Gu Zheng's mouth. At the same time, it also brought with it a sudden burst of immortal core power.
The soup in the dragon ball did have the ingredients of fish soup, but it was more the essence of the dragon ball itself. The delicious taste, which was different from that of meat, made Gu Zheng's head sway gently.
With Gu Zheng's current cultivation, the immortal core power contained in a good grade ingredient was no longer a big deal. However, since the immortal core power in the dragon ball had already entered his stomach, Gu Zheng let the immortal core power ball float and absorb it.
"It's really good!"
After a dragon ball entered his stomach, Gu Zheng was very emotional. Its delicious taste was not only its special soup, but also the crispy taste and fragrance of the outer shell.
The first chopstick picked up the dragon ball, and the second chopstick picked up the fish tail for Gu Zheng.
The tail of an ordinary fish could also be eaten, but there was not much to eat. However, the tail of the Dragon Whiskered Fish was different. Its tail was thick, a bit like a duck's web.
The whole body of the Dragon Whiskered Fish was a treasure, including the fish bones. The fish bones had been roasted by Gu Zheng and were crushed when he put it in his mouth. Coupled with the slightly chewy fish tail meat, the taste was really good.
"Sir, is the fish tail delicious?"
Meow Meow asked vaguely while eating the fish meat.
"It's delicious! After all, there are bones in it, so there is a bone fragrance that meat doesn't have. It feels very good! "
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he picked up a fish scale and a piece of fish meat for the third time.
The white and tender fish meat and the golden scales were put into Gu Zheng's mouth, and the spicy taste suddenly filled his mouth.
The fish meat of the Dragon Whiskered Fish was tight and tender. The fragrance in the mouth was the unique taste of the roasted fish with fruit wood, followed by the taste of the spicy fish meat. And because the level of the ingredients had reached excellent, it made people's mouth full of fresh fragrance.
The fish scales and the fish meat were together, and when tasting the fish meat, they naturally tasted the fish scales.
After the fish scales of the Dragon Whiskered Fish were processed and cooked by Gu Zheng, the wonderful taste was a bit similar to cartilage, and it was very chewy. When eaten with the fresh and tender fish meat, it was a different taste.
Gu Zheng only moved his chopsticks three times, and the Dragon Whiskered Fish on the plate had already been eaten by the three foodies, revealing the fish bones, and thus the fish offal in the fish belly.
Passing the chopsticks through the fish bones, Gu Zheng picked up a piece of fish seed.
The fish seed was wrapped in egg and flour. It was first fried and then stewed. Gu Zheng put it in his mouth and sucked in a lot of the soup surface, which melted in his mouth and tasted very delicious.
The existence of the surface ensured the freshness of the fish seed. When Gu Zheng's teeth bit down, the fish seed naughtily lingered in his teeth, and the taste was very wonderful.
There was no fishy smell of ordinary fish seed at all, only a different kind of fresh fragrance with the taste of scallion and ginger. At first, it was just the taste of the fish seed itself. After chewing a few times, the spicy taste integrated into each fish seed became prominent, and wantonly intertwined with the fragrance in the mouth.
"So spicy, so spicy!"
The girl from the Yang family, who couldn't eat spicy food the most, immediately cried out, but she still couldn't stop stuffing fish meat into her mouth.
"If it's spicy, eat some of the jade lotus slices inside," Gu Zheng said.
In order to take care of Meow Meow, Gu Zheng did add a lot of soft rattan peppers in this grilled fish dish. As for the jade lotus slices, it was to take care of the girl from the Yang family, who couldn't eat spicy food the most.
"Crunch, crunch!"
The jade green lotus slices made a crisp sound in the girl's mouth, and a trace of elegant fragrance floated out with her breath. The burning sensation in her mouth disappeared as she chewed on the lotus root slices, leaving behind a sweet and refreshing taste that made one salivate.
"Haha, with this lotus slices, I'm not afraid of spicy food anymore!"
The girl from the Yang family laughed and ate the fish meat heartily.
Gu Zheng's fourth chopstick was a section of the Dragon Whisker Fish's' dragon whisker '.
When it came to the entire Grilled Dragon Whisker Fish, everyone might have their own preferences. However, for Gu Zheng, the most unique part was definitely the dragon ball and the dragon whiskers.
The dragon whisker tasted a bit like laminate, and was very chewy. Every time he chewed, the fragrance in his mouth seemed to change, and that fresh taste was unique.
Gu Zheng's fifth chopstick was a fish bladder.
Ordinary fish bladders were very chewy, but after Gu Zheng's processing, the Dragon Whisker Fish's bladders were no longer as tough. In a dish, there was already a dragon whisker that had a tough texture, and Gu Zheng didn't want to have a second item with a similar texture.
When Gu Zheng put the fish bladder into his mouth to taste, Meow Meow couldn't help but speak.
"Sir, you're right. The fish bladder and fish intestines this time really taste great."
Gu Zheng opened his eyes and didn't say anything while chewing the food. Instead, he used his eyes to signal Meow Meow to continue.
"I won't talk about the fish intestines, and I'll wait for you to try it yourself. I'll talk about the fish bladder. In the past, I've eaten fish bladders made by you, but those fish bladders weren't as fragrant, crispy, and smooth as this one. And really, it's especially fragrant and spicy, very satisfying! "Meow Meow said.
Gu Zheng smiled. Meow Meow's description was right. The fish bladder's texture was indeed very good. Although it had changed from tough to crispy, this different texture also brought a different kind of spiciness. Just like the dragon whisker, it was the kind that tasted better the more one chewed.
This was Gu Zheng's sixth time. This time, he picked up a fish intestine.
Ordinary fish intestine was actually edible, but most people disliked it or were too lazy to wash it. Because the Dragon Whisker Fish lived in the Desolate Realm, its intestines were originally relatively clean. Coupled with the grade of its ingredients, its intestines were excellent even when cooked by ordinary people, not to mention Gu Zheng, an Immortal Chef.
There wasn't the slightest bit of fishy smell. After chewing the fish intestine, there was only a fresh fragrance.
The fragrance of the fish intestine was different from the other parts of the Dragon Whisker Fish. It was a kind of fatty but not greasy fragrance. When this fragrance mixed with the spiciness of the soft rattan pepper exploded in the mouth, it felt as if one had suddenly eaten a piece of meat after starving for a few days. It was indescribably satisfying.
While Gu Zheng was indulging in the delicacy, Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu flew out of a cave with their heads and faces covered in dust.
After flying for a long time, the two of them turned back and looked in the direction of the cave. At the same time, they exhaled and looked at each other with bitter smiles and rejoiced.
Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu had just gone to see the Mysterious Nether Ancestor. In the end, the Mysterious Nether Ancestor scolded them for being incompetent. After teaching them a lesson, he told them to scram.
Shang Wen, Tian Yunxiu, and the Mysterious Nether Ancestor knew each other in the Desolate Realm. However, at that time, Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu were members of a sect, while the Mysterious Nether Ancestor was a rogue cultivator.
Although they knew each other, they didn't have much of a relationship before. After coming to Earth, the Mysterious Nether Ancestor relied on his peak Void Return cultivation base to order Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu around.
This time, they had offended Gu Zheng and were incompetent. Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu knew that it was inevitable that they would be scolded and taught a lesson by the Mysterious Nether Ancestor when they returned. However, if the Mysterious Nether Ancestor held a grudge against Gu Zheng because of this matter and wanted to join forces with them to find trouble with Gu Zheng, they wouldn't agree no matter what.
After the Mysterious Nether Ancestor learned of this matter, he flew into a rage and wanted to join forces with them to find trouble with Gu Zheng! Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu were already prepared for this. They wouldn't agree no matter what, even if they had to fight the Mysterious Nether Ancestor to the death.
Although the Mysterious Nether Ancestor's cultivation base was at the peak Void Return Stage, Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu's cultivation bases were also at the late Void Return Stage. If they really fought, he would be able to kill Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu, but he would inevitably have to pay a heavy price! Thus, the Mysterious Nether Ancestor didn't dare to go too far.
"After experiencing this matter, we've drawn a clear line between us and the Mysterious Nether Ancestor. It was worth it!" Shang Wen smiled bitterly as he looked at the wounds on his body.
"M-hm, it was worth it!"
Tian Xiuying paused for a moment before saying, "However, with the Mysterious Nether Ancestor's arrogance, he'll definitely find trouble with Gu Zheng."
"If he insists on finding trouble with Gu Zheng, then let him be. In any case, he looks down on the cultivators of Earth. Letting him suffer a loss can be considered as revenge for us," Shang Wen said viciously.
At the same time, in the Mysterious Nether Ancestor's cave abode.
The Mysterious Nether Ancestor's cultivation base was already at the peak of the Void Return Stage. It was useless for him to increase his elemental essence cultivation base. This was because once one's cultivation base reached this stage, they didn't need Immortal Core Power to advance. Instead, they needed a mysterious comprehension.
The reason why the Mysterious Nether Ancestor had sent Shang Wen, who had a special bloodline, to the Extremely Fragrant Villa to bring back a high-grade elemental essence cultivation base was actually because someone had entrusted him with this task. The person who entrusted him with this task had promised him a reward that wasn't as generous as Changfeng's, and this reward included something that he urgently needed.
The Mysterious Nether Ancestor didn't bring back the high-grade elemental essence cultivation base. Not only did he have to break his promise, but he also couldn't obtain the thing that he urgently needed. Thus, he hated Gu Zheng very much.
His hatred for Gu Zheng, as well as Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu's unprecedented resistance, made the Mysterious Nether Ancestor so angry that he was about to explode.
"Gu Zheng, is it? You seem to be very arrogant in this world! Fine, you made it so that I couldn't obtain what I wanted? If I don't go to Foggy Wind Island tomorrow and cause trouble, I'll write my name backwards! "the Mysterious Nether Ancestor said hatefully.
The next day, afternoon …
The Extremely Fragrant Villa's business today wasn't bad. From morning until now, they had completed four qualified orders.
In the kitchen, Gu Zheng was busy with his fifth order.
"According to the recent momentum, you can complete sixty orders in one and a half months at most," the tool spirit said.
"If I complete sixty orders in advance, do you still need me to continue the Immortal Kitchen Store?" Gu Zheng asked.
"After the task is completed, it's completely up to you whether you want to continue the Immortal Kitchen Store or not," the tool spirit said with a smile.
"If it's up to me, I won't open it at that time. At that time, there won't be much time left until the Hungry Ghost Festival. I'm preparing to return to the sect and cultivate properly. "
While they were talking, Gu Zheng had already cooked a dish. Meow Meow immediately carried it over to the customer.
Today, Lian Yuxin wasn't here. She had received two orders that were rushed, so she was busy delivering them.
Gu Zheng quickly cleaned up the kitchen utensils and prepared to cook the next dish. The fifth order was eight dishes and two soups, and Gu Zheng had only finished three dishes.
After a while …
"Eh?"
Gu Zheng, who was cooking, suddenly let out a curious sound because he felt an abnormal fluctuation of Heaven and Earth energy.
"Heaven and Earth Blessing?"
Gu Zheng and the tool spirit asked curiously at the same time. Because of the abnormal fluctuation of Heaven and Earth energy, it was indeed as if someone's cultivation base had advanced.
"The abnormal fluctuation of Heaven and Earth energy came from Foggy Wind Island, and there's only one person on Foggy Wind Island who could cause such a phenomenon!"
Gu Zheng was a little excited. He wanted to go out and take a look, but since he had a business in hand, he could only take care of it first.
"Sir!"
Outside, Meow Meow also felt the fluctuation of Heaven and Earth energy. She looked at Gu Zheng and said, "The fluctuation of Heaven and Earth energy … Is Angry Han about to advance?"
"It should be him!" Gu Zheng nodded.
On Violet Yan Island, Meow Meow and Angry Han both ate the spiritual beast food made by Gu Zheng and then went into seclusion.
"Tsk tsk, I hope Angry Han will become stronger! After all, he slept longer than I did this time! "Meow Meow snickered mischievously.
After Angry Han recognized Gu Zheng as his master, he had been sparring with Meow Meow. This time, he slept longer than Meow Meow. This made Meow Meow decide that after he received the blessings of Heaven and Earth, he must find him to spar with to see how much progress he had made.
"I hope so!"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly. Usually, the longer a Yao cultivator's sleep before advancing, the better. This time, Rage Man slept longer than Meow Meow. He was indeed looking forward to Rage Man skipping grades like Meow Meow.
"Sir, I want to go and take a look!" Meow Meow said pitifully.
"No, we're running a business. Business is the most important thing."
As soon as Gu Zheng's words fell, the customer's telepathic voice rang in his mind. "Sect Leader Gu, have someone send a bottle of lotus wine over."
"The customer has ordered immortal wine. Send it over!"
Gu Zheng shrugged at Meow Meow.
"Alright!"
Meow Meow left the kitchen helplessly, looking at the place where Angry Han was cultivating.
