"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Our President Hua didn't mean what he said, he didn't mean …"
The vice president of the store was sweating profusely as he explained loudly. Another vice president came over to explain to the judges, but unfortunately, they ignored him. Gu Zheng, Du Yang, and the others finished the chicken blood soup and slowly packed their things.
Du Yang and Huang Tao were still reminiscing about the taste of the chicken blood soup. They didn't help in vain this time, and they didn't come in vain. Gu Zheng's culinary skills were getting better and better. Every time, he could make something that they had never eaten in their lives.
No matter what the vice presidents said, everyone still left. Not many people listened to his explanation. Other than the employees in the store, President Hua didn't show his face either.
Elder Gao and the others left with Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's celestial chicken had already been used. The cooked chicken was still in the pot. Du Yang hugged the box that contained the pot tightly, his face full of vigilance.
Just now, Gu Zheng had secretly told them that although the chicken blood was gone, the chicken still tasted very good. After going back and cleaning it up a little, it could be used as today's lunch. Although the taste wasn't as good as the chicken blood soup, it was much better than other dishes.
Since Gu Zheng said so, then the chicken was their lunch. They had to protect it well. He saw that an old man like Elder Gao still asked for the leftover soup. If the old man shamelessly asked for the chicken and Gu Zheng couldn't refuse, he would cry to death.
Originally, he wanted to ask President Hua what happened and why he suddenly said that. However, after being reminded by Gu Zheng, he couldn't care less and wholeheartedly protected the chicken in the pot.
Especially when he walked out, he kept looking at Elder Gao secretly, afraid that he would ask for the chicken. That nervous and conflicted look was indescribably cute.
"Why are there so many people outside?"
Just as they reached the door, Gu Zheng and Elder Gao were stunned. The door was closed, and the security guards at the door were all outside. At this moment, they were all nervously facing the street. The door was already surrounded by people. It was densely packed with people. There were at least a few hundred people.
Because these people were blocking the road, the police had just arrived at the scene.
"I just found out that this store is such a bastard. I'm never coming back!"
"I only want their takeout. It's so disgusting to hear those words!"
"That's right. This is a chain store. How can such a big chain store be run by such a person?"
When Gu Zheng and the others came out, the people outside were still discussing. These people were actually related to Gu Zheng. They were attracted by the fragrance of Gu Zheng's Chicken Blood Soup. There were many people within a radius of two miles who were searching for the fragrance. Many people were looking for it, and some people found this place.
Within a radius of two miles, it may not attract many people in ancient times. But in modern times, this is one of the most prosperous areas of Shen City. The number of people within a radius of two miles is comparable to that of a city in ancient times.
There were already a few hundred people gathered, and this was because many people had only smelled the fragrance and had not found the place yet. Otherwise, there would be even more people.
After these people arrived, they were all stopped by the security guards. They could only stand at the door and look inside. The security guards could stop them, but they couldn't chase them away. They could only let them stay.
At first, the people who came were very curious about the fragrance inside. Many people thought that it was a new innovation of the duck blood and vermicelli soup. Some people even wanted to wait and go in to try a bowl as soon as the store opened.
Everything that happened later was completely out of their expectations.
The duck blood and vermicelli soup store was the kind of big store that faced the street. When Mr. Hua stood there, people outside could see him and hear the voices inside. In addition, some people had asked the security guards before, so they probably knew what had happened inside.
Mr. Hua's words were heard by many people outside. Another security guard accidentally revealed Mr. Hua's identity, which attracted the attention of the onlookers outside the door. A general manager, the head of a restaurant chain company, was actually a villain who only cared about profits. Who would dare to believe in the safety of their food?
The most serious thing was that when Mr. Hua was talking, some people took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the store. His words were also recorded.
There weren't many people who took the video. Only a few people, but don't forget that this was the age of the Internet. These videos were uploaded to the Internet and began to spread quickly. It also attracted a lot of exclamations.
Gu Zheng didn't know about these. Seeing so many people outside the door, Mr. Wu arranged for the staff of the website to protect them and leave together.
"I hope that I have the opportunity to taste the delicacies you make in the future!"
After leaving the duck blood and vermicelli shop, a judge kindly reached out his hand to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng had conquered all the judges today. Everyone had a good impression of Gu Zheng. Of course, Mr. Hua was not one of them.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance!" Gu Zheng replied with a smile.
"Don't fight for it. You going to the world of criticism is a big regret in our cooking world. If you stay in the world of cooking, I believe that your future achievements will definitely not be lower than your father's!"
Elder Gao said with emotion. Only then did everyone remember that Gu Zheng's identity was a food critic, not a chef. Gu Zheng's culinary skills were indeed a pity in the world of cooking.
Gu Zheng chuckled. "Everyone has their own ambitions. Only when I have more experience can I make more and better food, isn't that right?"
Elder Gao was slightly stunned. He immediately nodded and smiled. "You're right. You're still young. It's time for you to increase your experience. When you have enough experience, the food you make will be better. I believe in you. You will definitely have great achievements in the future!"
Elder Gao was successfully frightened by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng wouldn't tell him that he didn't want to be a chef because he was lazy. Being a food critic was much more comfortable than being a chef. He could eat delicious food everywhere and have a good income. His working hours were also very flexible. How could he abandon his laziness and work hard to stay in the kitchen every day?
Elder Gao and the other judges of the Food Association left. Originally, the duck blood and vermicelli shop would have arranged lunch. However, after the incident with President Hua, no one was in the mood to stay there for lunch.
President Wu and Mumu also left. Before Mumu left, he waved his fist at Gu Zheng, meaning to ask him to wait. This made Gu Zheng feel very helpless. It seemed that this little girl was holding a grudge against him for hiding things from her. He was afraid that the following days wouldn't be peaceful. When this little girl's temper flared up, she had a lot of means to mess with people.
"Gu Zheng, let's go back!"
Everyone left. Du Yang immediately shouted excitedly. The chicken in the pot was saved. This was the best news for him. He didn't care about anything else.
"Let's go back!"
They didn't take the subway to go home. It was inconvenient to have so many things. The three of them directly took a taxi. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam. It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive outside the courtyard of Gu Zheng's neighborhood.
"Why are you here?" The three of them had just walked to the ground floor where they lived when they saw a familiar figure. Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Master Gu, please forgive me for taking the liberty to disturb you. I think you know the purpose of my visit. There's no need for me to explain!"
The person who came said to Gu Zheng with a smile. This person was dressed very neatly. His entire person was very elegant. At a glance, one could tell that his clothes were branded. It was none other than the gold-rimmed glasses who came to Gu Zheng's house to eat ten fried eggs.
After eating to his heart's content a few days ago, he had been busy. Today, he took the time to come to Gu Zheng's place to have a sumptuous meal. He knew that Gu Zheng didn't go to the wonton shop, so he came here directly. Anyway, he knew where Gu Zheng's house was. No one answered when he knocked on the door of Gu Zheng's house, so he kept waiting. He really waited for Gu Zheng to come.
