Looking at the sesame oil, Gu Zheng kept lowering his head and pondering. He kept asking questions in his heart. Unfortunately, the weapon spirit only gave him a low-grade evaluation and then ignored him.
"Do you want sesame oil? This is pure small ground sesame oil. It's very fragrant!"
The shop owner was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Seeing Gu Zheng standing there motionless with a bottle of sesame oil, she simply went up and asked.
"Yes, how much is a bottle of this oil?"
Her voice woke Gu Zheng up. He definitely wanted this sesame oil. After looking in the market for so long, he only found such a second-grade ingredient. It was impossible to let it go. Moreover, this was an oil. Although sesame oil was easy to heat and not easy to cook, it also depended on who had it. Gu Zheng happened to have the skill of cooking with sesame oil. Otherwise, he would not have found someone to extract so much sesame oil.
"Fifty!"
The middle-aged woman said casually. Gu Zheng's eyes were stunned again. A 250 ml bottle of sesame oil was only half a catty. It cost fifty yuan, which was equivalent to a hundred yuan per catty.
Normal sesame oil was at least twenty to thirty catties. However, a hundred yuan price was indeed a little high. The last time Gu Zheng found someone to extract the oil, it was less than forty catties. The price of this bottle of sesame oil was more than double the price of his pure small ground sesame oil.
"Fifty is the lowest price. Originally, it was sold for seventy yuan!" The shop owner saw Gu Zheng's expression and immediately added.
"Okay, I'll take fifty yuan. I want this kind of sesame oil. There are still a few bottles. If not, I'll take all of them!"
The price was a bit high, but when he recalled the Artifact Spirit's evaluation, Gu Zheng still bought it. This was a second-grade ingredient, a level higher than his home's sesame oil. Gu Zheng didn't know what the difference was between this sesame oil and his own, but since it was evaluated as second-grade by the Artifact Spirit, there must be something different about it. He could accept it if it was a little more expensive.
"There are only ten bottles in total. Are you sure you want all of them?"
The lady boss looked at Gu Zheng in surprise. These ten bottles of fragrant oil had been here for a long time. If it wasn't for his relative, she wouldn't have helped him sell such expensive fragrant oil. Many people asked about the price, but they all shook their heads and left. This young man in front of her didn't mind the high price and wanted to buy all of them.
"Yes, I want all of them. But you have to tell me where you got this fragrant oil!"
Gu Zheng nodded vigorously. Yes, he wanted all of them. Ten bottles would only cost him 500 yuan. If these sesame oils were really much better than the ones in his house, then he would be the one benefiting from it. Gu Zheng was not a top chef, but his father was. For a top chef, if he had better ingredients than others, then he would be able to cook better food than others and become more powerful than other chefs of the same level.
"That's not a problem. I'll get you a box!"
The lady boss nodded happily. If she sold the fragrant oil, she could also report to her relative. As for Gu Zheng wanting to know the source of the fragrant oil, it was even less of a problem for her. Except for a fool like Gu Zheng, no one would want to buy this fragrant oil. She didn't want to sell it at all. Putting it here would only take up space.
Ten bottles of fragrant oil, 500 yuan. Gu Zheng also got the address of the person who made the fragrant oil. To Gu Zheng's surprise, this person actually didn't have a phone. The lady boss said that he didn't use a phone at all.
After shopping for half a day, he only found a type of fragrant oil that could be used. Gu Zheng was not satisfied. After depositing the fragrant oil in the market, he continued to look.
"The grades of these chickens are either trash or low-grade. Some of them are even poisonous. This one is actually second-grade!"
Not long after, Gu Zheng received another pleasant surprise. This time, he bought a live black-boned chicken. This black-boned chicken looked different from a normal black-boned chicken. It was smaller in size and looked listless.
"You still have a good eye. This chicken was specially left for me by the person who delivered it. He said that this is a pheasant from the mountain. I don't know why it looks like a black chicken. He asked me to kill it and eat it myself. I eat too much chicken. I don't like to eat it usually, so I took it out to sell!"
The boss who sold the chicken said to Gu Zheng with a smile. The price of the black chicken was not expensive. It was the same as the normal price.
His words were heard by the other customers, and they all shook their heads. How could a wild chicken look like a black chicken? It was clear that Gu Zheng had been deceived because he was young. This chicken was very small, and its head was drooping. It looked like a sick chicken, and they definitely wouldn't want it. However, this matter didn't concern them, so no one reminded Gu Zheng.
"Okay, thank you boss!"
After paying, he took the chicken. Gu Zheng did not let the boss kill it. The water here could be rated as poisonous. If they killed the chicken and washed it with the water, the chicken could not be used. He could only go back and kill it himself.
But the boss said that it was a pheasant. After being in the market for so long, Gu Zheng gradually had some experience with the evaluation of so many things.
Those vegetables that were not cleaned with pesticides were all poisonous. Even if they were cleaned with pesticides, they were still garbage. None of them reached the low-grade level. Only those that were not exposed to pesticides on the surface could reach the low-grade level.
Vegetables were like this. Meat and poultry were almost the same. They were fed with feed and injected with hormones. If they were not poisonous, then they were garbage. The free-range ones could reach the low-grade level. In the whole market, there was only one low-grade chicken. Maybe it was a pheasant that grew up in the mountain. As for why it looked like this, Gu Zheng did not consider it.
With the sesame oil and the black-boned chicken, Gu Zheng's mood was much better. It meant that the market did not have the raw materials he needed. He just had to work hard to find them.
The next day, before four o 'clock in the afternoon, Wang Tao and the other two ran to Gu Zheng's house. Gu Zheng was at home. He was cleaning up the kitchen. Today's kitchen was different from yesterday's. There were more ingredients.
"Go sit in the living room first. Do whatever you want. I don't need help here!"
After taking them to the room, Gu Zheng casually said a few words to them and went into the kitchen. Last night and today, his harvest was not bad. He barely found the ingredients that could be used in this test.
On the chopping board in the kitchen, there was a black-boned chicken that he had just killed. It was clean. Seeing this black-boned chicken, the muscles on his face trembled unnaturally.
Running water and purified water could not be used to kill and clean a chicken. The imported mineral water stored in his house was all used up by this chicken. Fortunately, this kind of water was available in the market. He went to the supermarket and bought a few boxes back. However, the price of the water made him very painful. A few boxes of water were more expensive than ten bottles of sesame oil. If this test happened a few more times, he would go bankrupt.
The ingredients were ready. The black-boned chicken wings, drumsticks, and some breast meat were removed. The rest was chopped up with wild ginseng and mushrooms. They were stewed together with the imported mineral water.
The remaining drumsticks and wings with more meat were used to make a honey chicken with honey. This method was a bit strange, but the raw materials were limited, so this was the only way.
A bag of washed wild lotus seeds, mushrooms, and two poor green vegetables were stir-fried together to make a side dish. These two green vegetables were accidentally obtained by Gu Zheng. He had no expectations for this kind of green vegetables. However, when he was choosing other things, he accidentally touched two green vegetables. They were actually evaluated as low quality by the device spirit.
Although the quantity was small, they were always usable. Gu Zheng did not hesitate to buy them. Under the surprised eyes of the vegetable seller, he took the two green vegetables and left.
Ten Deep Sea Prawns were happily swimming in the specially-made fish tank. These were true wild Deep Sea Prawns. The average price for one was 80 RMB. If it wasn't for the fact that it was rated as inferior, Gu Zheng wouldn't have bought it at all.
