When the Yang Family's sister left, she had already placed Wang Letian's order on the table. Gu Zheng glanced at the order and said, "That depends on what ingredients you give."
Gu Zheng's expression was very calm, which made Wang Letian feel a little guilty. After all, he had already heard of Gu Zheng's reputation.
"Then, then do you think these ingredients are okay?"
Wang Letian took out a lot of ingredients from his mustard seed bag.
Gu Zheng glanced at Wang Letian's ingredients and frowned immediately. "The four dishes you ordered, the lowest grade of ingredients is medium grade. And among the resources you're offering, the highest grade of ingredients is only medium grade. Are you kidding me? "
"Mr. Gu, I don't need you to make them the same as those on the menu. You just need to use these ingredients to make them look similar."
Seeing that Gu Zheng even closed his eyes and didn't want to say anything more, Wang Letian looked very anxious. He had already pretended in front of his two cultivation furnaces, but if Gu Zheng didn't make them for him, then he would be too pretentious. After all, there were pictures of the dishes on the menu.
Hearing Wang Letian's words, Gu Zheng understood what was going on. After all, Wang Letian had brought two mortals here. Now that he had put in so much effort, it was undoubtedly like he was showing off in front of two women.
"I want to fulfill your wish, but the ingredients you gave me are too low-grade. I can't ruin the reputation of my Extremely Fragrant Cottage just to fulfill your wish."
Gu Zheng was a little amused by Wang Letian's point of view, so he spoke very kindly.
"How about this, I'll add some good things for Mr. Gu? I hope that Mr. Gu can help me! As for ruining the reputation of Extremely Fragrant Villa, I won't do that. My two cultivation furnaces are just mortals and don't have any knowledge at all. I'll also tell them that I ordered a special dish that has never been made by Extremely Fragrant Villa. I won't say that it's just one of the dishes on the menu, okay? "Wang Letian looked at Gu Zheng pleadingly.
"Special dish? What a double entendre! "
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. His eyes were serious as he said, "That won't do. The House of Extreme Fragrance doesn't have such a precedent. Fellow Daoist, if you insist on having a meal here, then just order the few dishes on the first page of the menu! Although the quality of the ingredients used in those dishes isn't high, I guarantee that the taste won't be bad. "
"I won't!"
Wang Letian said anxiously, "I already told them to order whatever they want. If I change the dishes again, I don't know what they will think of me!"
Gu Zheng was also speechless. He really doubted the relationship between the two women and Wang Letian. Could they be lovers? Otherwise, why would he care so much about it?
"Mr. Gu, how about this?"
Wang Letian gritted his teeth and said, "I have a few magical items here, which I collected in my early years. They are all things that can only be found in the Untainted Land. Can you do me a favor if I add one or two of them?"
While speaking, Wang Letian took out a small box from his mustard seed pocket. There were six resources in the box, and he took two of them back.
The six resources looked ordinary, but Gu Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw the black bone that Wang Letian took back. If this wasn't the bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast that was urgently needed to repair the Chaos Tower, what else could it be?
"These four resources aren't very good, but the bone you took back is a bit interesting. If you give it to me, I can satisfy your previous request," Gu Zheng said.
When he heard that Gu Zheng wanted that bone, Wang Letian shook his head like a rattle-drum. "Everything else is fine, but not that bone!"
"That's only a bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast. Compared to your other resources, the price is a bit cheaper. I don't know why you're willing to use the other resources to make a deal with me, but not the bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"There are mysterious characters engraved on the bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast. There must be some incredible immortal technique recorded in it. Back then, I exchanged it for a lot of money from Jin Xian," Wang Letian said seriously.
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. "You're at least at the Return to Void Stage. Let's put it this way! Do you know how to refine artifacts? "
"I know a little," Wang Letian said awkwardly.
"The characters engraved on it don't record any incredible immortal technique, after all. It's just an inscription that can make an immortal artifact more powerful. It's just that this kind of inscription is not very common."
During the time he spent with Lian Yuxin, Gu Zheng's knowledge of refining artifacts had increased a lot.
Seeing that Wang Letian seemed to be frowning and thinking after hearing this, Gu Zheng said again, "If it's really an incredible immortal technique, do you think Jin Xian will sell it to you?"
It had been three hundred years since Wang Letian got the bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast. He, who hadn't comprehended anything, already had doubts about what Jin Xian said at that time.
Now, although Gu Zheng's words didn't make Wang Letian fully believe them, it made him want to sell the bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast.
"Boss Gu, it's not impossible if you want this bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast, but you have to cook the dishes I ordered according to my previous request. In addition, I have other conditions!" Wang Letian was fighting for the greatest benefit for himself.
Gu Zheng frowned, "I just happen to have a use for the bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast. That's why I'm giving you a special case. But it's only a Tier 5 resource after all. If you go too far, I won't want it. Your previous request will naturally be dropped because of this!"
Originally, he still wanted to ask for an exorbitant price, but seeing Gu Zheng's resolute appearance, Wang Letian didn't dare to say his original thoughts.
"How about this, Boss Gu! In addition to the original request, there's still a soup that I haven't ordered yet. Boss Gu can give me a similar soup and let me stay to watch you cook. How about it? "
Wang Letian smiled very flatteringly. His voice also had the meaning of negotiation. But Gu Zheng, who finally saw the bone of the Cloud Scraping Beast, didn't mind this.
"I can give you another soup, and I can also let you stay to watch, but don't talk too much! Also, you can only stay to watch one dish. After all, this is the kitchen's important area, "Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, I'll definitely abide by Boss Gu's request." Wang Letian hurriedly nodded.
"Do you have Immortal Wind Grass there?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Immortal Wind Grass? What's Immortal Wind Grass? "Wang Letian was confused.
"Forget it." Gu Zheng shook his head.
Immortal Wind Grass was also a fifth-grade resource, but this Wang Letian didn't even know what it was. It seemed that he wouldn't have it.
Without saying anything more to Wang Letian, Gu Zheng accepted his resources and prepared to cook for him.
"Mister, this dish has' Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity '. How are you going to cook it for him?" Meow Meow transmitted.
The traditional 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity' was a very expensive dish. Apart from using mid-grade ingredients, it also used high-grade ingredients.
"According to what he said, use some low-grade ingredients to replace the high-grade ingredients. When you serve the dish, just say that it's specially made for them," Gu Zheng said.
The traditional 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity' required two types of immortal vegetables, Immortal Cloud Pork, Crystal Lobster, Immortal Duck, Firecloud Immortal Mushroom, and some supplementary ingredients.
"Boss Gu, I want the 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity' to have the fragrance of the ingredients. I don't want the original flavor."
Wang Letian requested. In Extremely Fragrant Cottage, such requests were normal and could be changed according to the preferences of the customers.
Gu Zheng nodded at Wang Letian's request and began to prepare the ingredients.
Ever since the opening of the Extremely Fragrant Courtyard, the menu had been changed several times. Due to the improvement of his culinary skills and the abundance of ingredients, Gu Zheng had added many dishes to the menu. For example, the current "Dragon and Phoenix Bring Prosperity" was a dish that wasn't on the original menu.
"Boss Gu, does this' Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity 'only have these three main ingredients?"
Wang Letian couldn't help but ask after waiting for a while and seeing that Gu Zheng didn't take out any new ingredients.
"That's right. With the resources you gave me, it's already very good that I can cook with these ingredients," Gu Zheng said.
For this' Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity ', Gu Zheng only prepared an Immortal Duck, an Ice Water Lobster, some Immortal Bean Sprouts, and some seasonings. These ingredients were indeed a lot less than the original' Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity ', but as he said, compared to the resources Wang Letian gave him, it was already very good that he used these ingredients to cook the dish.
"Alright!"
Wang Letian wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Gu Zheng would be angry, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Gu Zheng put the supplementary ingredients in the processed Immortal Duck's belly, then placed it on the charcoal fire and roasted it with the Fire Control Art. The duck was fat and tender, but if there was too much oil, it would affect the taste. Therefore, Gu Zheng handled the step of roasting and removing the oil very carefully.
After a while, the fat dripped from the fat and tender Immortal Duck, making a sizzling sound. The aroma of the roasted duck also spread in the kitchen.
"Gulp …"
This was just the roasted duck, but Wang Letian couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He suddenly felt that maybe it was a mistake to stay and watch him cook. He wasn't monitoring Gu Zheng to see if he would fool around. He was simply torturing himself!
At this time, Gu Zheng brushed a layer of Lightning Bee's honey on the Immortal Duck. The rich aroma suddenly became slightly sweet, and it was even more appetizing.
Under the Fire Control Art, the surface of the Immortal Duck was quickly covered with a layer of golden yellow. It seemed that there was honey flowing on the surface, and it looked crystal clear.
"Chi …"
Gu Zheng removed the Immortal Duck from the charcoal fire, then used the Water Control Art to generate cold air and sprayed it on the Immortal Duck.
After the Immortal Duck was exposed to the cold air, the liquid honey quickly entered the duck's skin, making the whole duck's skin golden and translucent. Through the skin, one could see the tender duck meat underneath. At this moment, the fragrance of the spices hidden in the duck's belly also came out, mixed with the original sweetness of the roasted duck, and wantonly teased Wang Letian's sense of smell.
Moreover, Wang Letian also found that there seemed to be a soup in the duck's belly. It seemed to be the gravy that seeped out when the Immortal Duck was roasted. It was mixed with the spices in the duck's belly, and there was a very fresh taste.
"Gulp …"
Wang Letian was already very careful, but he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and carefully wipe the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, Gu Zheng was busy cooking, and Meow Meow was also looking at Gu Zheng attentively, so no one seemed to notice his embarrassment.
"Swish, swish, swish …"
Gu Zheng's knife flashed, and the Immortal Duck seemed to be the original Immortal Duck, but the duck bones had been removed by Gu Zheng and put aside. Wang Letian also saw that in that moment of knife light, the duck meat and duck skin had been completely separated, and some of the duck meat had even been minced by Gu Zheng.
After processing the Immortal Duck, Gu Zheng put it on a plate and put it aside.
Then, Gu Zheng put the shelled Ice Water Lobster and the headless Immortal Bean Sprout into another pot. The pot was boiling with big sauce water, which Gu Zheng had already been boiling when he was roasting the duck.
The Ice Water Lobster and Immortal Bean Sprout were boiled in the big sauce water for a while, and then Gu Zheng took them out.
The Immortal Bean Sprout was put directly on the plate with the roasted duck, and the Ice Water Lobster was processed under Gu Zheng's knife light, and then put on the plate.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
Under the control of Gu Zheng's immortal power, the plate with the roasted duck seemed to come alive, jumping restlessly on the chopping board.
After a while, Gu Zheng removed his hand from the plate, and then looked at Wang Letian, "This dish is done, you can leave the kitchen."
"It's … It's done?"
Gu Zheng's voice made Wang Letian open his eyes wide. Although the dishes cooked by Immortal Chefs were not ordinary, Gu Zheng seemed to be a little too casual.
"Isn't this enough?"
Gu Zheng frowned. Wang Letian instantly sobered up. No matter what, this was Extremely Fragrant Cottage. Although he was a little scared, he did not dare to ask more. He could only smile and follow Meow Meow out of the kitchen.
"Master, why did you take so long?"
The two women in the private room asked in a sweet voice at the same time.
Wang Letian looked at the two women coldly. "Did I take so long? This is an Immortal Chef's dish, and it's already very fast. If it were you two gluttons, how long do you think it would take you to cook such a dish? "
Wang Letian, who had just humbled himself in front of Gu Zheng, vented some of the resentment in his heart on the two women.
"We'll definitely take longer than that!"
The two women's words became very fast. While smiling charmingly, they leaned on Wang Letian's arms and rubbed against them like spoiled children.
Feeling the softness on his arms and looking at the two women's fawning smiles, the anger in Wang Letian's heart subsided.
"Come, I'll let you see this dish!" Wang Letian said.
"What dish is this?" the woman in black asked.
"This dish is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity'. It's a dish specially made for you!"
Meow Meow smiled mysteriously and then walked out of the private room.
"Wow, a specially made dish? Then it must be very good! "
The woman in black was very excited. Even the woman in white's eyes were shining. In their minds, specially made dishes were definitely good things.
"Of course, why else would it be specially made?"
Wang Letian laughed loudly. He was very proud of the 'specially made' request.
The lid of the plate was lifted by Wang Letian, and the private room was immediately filled with a slightly sweet aroma.
"It smells so good!"
"Yeah, I've never smelled such a good smell. Just by smelling it, I'm already drooling!"
The two women in black and white exclaimed.
"How is this? Even the Extreme Fragrance Transformation hasn't appeared yet! "
Listening to the two women's exclamations, Wang Letian felt a great sense of accomplishment, as though he was the one who made this dish.
"Yeah, the Extreme Fragrance Transformation hasn't appeared yet!"
The two women were very excited. After all, they had heard about the Extreme Fragrance Transformation from Wang Letian.
The originally dense white mist on the plate condensed and quickly completed the transformation. It was a mini dragon and a phoenix, flying back and forth around the food on the plate.
To Gu Zheng, the task of the Immortal Kitchen Trial had allowed him to make great progress in his culinary skills. His understanding of the Dao had deepened, and it had also allowed him to control the Extreme Aroma's transformation.
If it was in the past, Gu Zheng could not control the Extreme Fragrance Transformation, and the Extreme Fragrance Transformation would certainly be related to the food in the dish. But now, the Extreme Fragrance Transformation did not have an intrinsic connection with the food. As long as it was related to the concept, it would be fine. Otherwise, the Extreme Fragrance Transformation would be either an immortal duck or a lobster, which was different from the 'Dragon and Phoenix Transformation' concept.
"Master, is this what you meant by 'Extreme Fragrance Transformation'? It's really wonderful! "
The white-clothed woman looked at the dragon and phoenix on the plate, stupidly muttering.
"Gulp …"
The black-clothed woman swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, impatiently saying, "Master, can we eat now?"
"You only know how to eat! Such a beautiful dish, and you didn't even appreciate it before eating. Don't you feel ashamed? "
Wang Letian shouted at the black-clothed woman, then clicked his tongue in wonder as he admired the 'Dragon and Phoenix Transformation' dish. In fact, Wang Letian was also greedy, but in front of the woman, he still had to have the demeanor of a master.
For Wang Letian, before he opened the plate, he had some doubts about Gu Zheng's culinary skills. But now, looking at the 'Dragon and Phoenix Transformation' dish on the plate, only admiration was left in Wang Letian's heart.
The Ice Water Lobster meat was wrapped in the skin of a roasted duck, making the dragon's body. As for the dragon's head and other details, it was made of chopped lobster meat and duck skin.
Next to the golden dragon was a silver phoenix. The phoenix's body was made of roasted duck meat, with sparkling immortal bean sprouts forming the phoenix's feathers. As for the phoenix's head, claws, and other details, they were made of chopped duck meat.
"It's really wonderful. Who would have thought that the seemingly simple ingredients could be turned into such a pleasing dish in the hands of an Immortal Chef!"
Wang Letian, who had admired enough, sighed with emotion, then picked up the chopsticks. "Come, let's taste this' Dragon and Phoenix Transformation 'dish together with Master!"
The golden dragon and silver phoenix looked like whole, but in fact, there was a perfect cut. Wang Letian picked up the dragon's head with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Yes!"
As soon as the dragon's head entered his mouth, Wang Letian let out an intoxicated sound.
The slightly sweet and crispy duck skin wrapped around the extremely fresh and tender Ice Water Lobster meat, filling his mouth with a fresh fragrance.
"Master, this dish is really delicious!"
"Yes! It's too delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious! "
Wang Letian's two cultivation furnaces had food in their mouths as they mumbled incoherently.
"Of course. Don't you know how many resources I spent on this dish? It's enough for me to cultivate for a year! "
"Master, you're so good!"
"I like Master the most!"
Wang Letian's bragging was in exchange for the admiration and gratitude of the two women.
"Don't talk. Focus on eating."
Wang Letian laughed casually, then picked up a few immortal bean sprouts and duck meat from the silver phoenix and put them in his mouth.
"Yes!"
The intoxicated sound rang out again. The juicy immortal bean sprouts exploded in Wang Letian's mouth, mixing with the plump immortal duck meat. That kind of taste was beyond amazing.
