"What do you think of the taste?" Gu Zheng asked the fat man.
"The taste is very good. I really have nothing to say, but …" The fat man frowned and hesitated.
"You are waiting for the poison reaction, right?"
Gu Zheng's words exposed the fat man's thoughts, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"Yes."
The fat man lowered his head, and his whole person suddenly deflated like a balloon.
"You can guess what I am waiting for. It seems that what I am waiting for will not appear." The fat man smiled bitterly.
"That's right! But it is undeniable that the ingredients you brought this time are more difficult to cook than the last time. "Gu Zheng said.
The fat man gritted his teeth and recovered his fighting spirit from his deflated state.
"You win this time! But don't worry, I will return the 100,000 yuan I owe you in a month. At that time, I will bring another 100,000 yuan and another set of ingredients for you to cook again! "The fat man gritted his teeth and said.
"Friend, although it is not written in the shop rules, I will only do business with a person twice at most!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said, "I advise you to give up. You have almost no chance of winning against me."
Gu Zheng was also quite helpless. This fat man was actually quite stubborn! He had already lost twice, and he still wanted to win against him. There were people who had lost twice to Gu Zheng, but those people were more sensible. Although they did not say whether they would come again, Gu Zheng could see from their eyes that they had given up and were suspicious of his true identity! But in the fat man's eyes, he could only see fighting spirit.
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, the fat man was unwilling to give up. "Why?"
"I will tell you when you come back to return the money."
Gu Zheng reached out and patted the fat man's shoulder. Under the effect of the Calming Spell, the fat man's originally excited mood calmed down. He did not ask any more questions, nodded, and turned to leave the strange shop.
Looking at the fat man's departing back, Gu Zheng shook his head. During this period of time, he had seen many people become very excited and even somewhat desperate because of losing money! If it wasn't necessary for the mission, he really wouldn't bet these things with the mortals.
Gu Zheng had already decided that if the fat man came to return the money a month later, regardless of whether he had completed the culinary test or not, he would give the fat man something! After all, this person was the first person who had expressed that he would definitely come again after he had cast the net. He could be considered to have some connections with him.
As soon as the fat man left, a luxury car stopped in front of the No. 1 shop. A well-dressed middle-aged man got out of the car.
Seeing the middle-aged man carrying a box and walking towards the shop, Gu Zheng's mouth curved into a smile.
"Interesting, the fat man's business just now was the forty-ninth business deal of the mortal! Now that he just left, another mortal came. Looks like I'll be able to complete this mortal's 50 orders very soon! Gu Zheng thought to himself.
The middle-aged man knocked on the door, and Gu Zheng welcomed him into the shop.
The middle-aged man placed the money on the table and went straight to the point. "Boss, I'll order!"
"Sure, let me see the ingredients you brought." Gu Zheng said.
The middle-aged man opened the box, and Gu Zheng's eyes couldn't help but light up. After doing dozens of business deals with mortals, the ingredients provided by this middle-aged man could be considered to be of the highest quality among the mortals!
Eight colorful eggs, a jar of caramel sugar, a bag of starch, and a piece of lard.
As soon as he saw the ingredients, Gu Zheng already knew what kind of delicacy they were most suitable to be made into. However, according to the rules, he still had to ask the customer if they had brought any sample dishes. If the sample dishes brought by the customer were not made with the best cooking method, he could only cook according to the sample dishes of the customer.
Facing Gu Zheng's inquiry, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I didn't bring any sample dishes."
"Boss, let me tell you this! My family was established by an outer sect disciple of the Kunlun Sect, so I was fortunate enough to come into contact with immortal cultivators. When I was very young, the immortal master of the sect came to my house once. He used eggs, sugar, starch, and lard to make a delicious dish. "
"Dozens of years have passed, and I often remember that delicious dish made by the immortal master, but I didn't have the chance to taste it again! I don't know what the name of that delicious dish is, but I know that after it was made, it looked like the bright moon in the sky! As for its taste, it was fragrant and sweet, and it really left a rich aftertaste! "
"This time, I came to this strange restaurant to ask you to make the same delicacy as when I was young. I believe in your cooking skills, and I'm sure you can complete a task here!"
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Zheng with a smile, and there was a pleading and flattery in his smile.
Gu Zheng was happy. After doing dozens of business deals, this was the first time he met such a customer.
Although the middle-aged man's explanation was very tactful, Gu Zheng still heard a lot of things from his words.
"Interesting, this middle-aged man knows that you're an Immortal Chef! Although he came here to fulfill his dream, it's worth one hundred thousand to eat an Immortal Chef's dish, so he will definitely praise the taste of your dishes. However, no matter what he thinks, you must use your heart when cooking. After all, the degree of deliciousness is under the supervision of the Taotie statue! "the tool spirit said.
"Don't worry, even a lion will use its full strength to catch a rabbit!" Gu Zheng smiled at the tool spirit.
"Anyway, since you want to eat the taste of the dish, didn't you take these ingredients and find other chefs to try?"
There were Immortal Chef Shops in this world, but Gu Zheng didn't mention Immortal Chefs. This was because Immortal Chefs almost didn't do business with mortals. Even if they did, the rewards were very high! After all, Gu Zheng had already opened an Immortal Chef Shop.
"No, because the dish was made by the immortal master, I was afraid that if I found other chefs, they wouldn't be able to make that taste. Not only would they spoil the ingredients I provided, but it would also make me feel that my memories were insulted! But you're different. In my opinion, your cooking skills are even better than the immortal master's! "
The middle-aged man flattered Gu Zheng with a smile. Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. "Wait a moment, I'll go and cook for you."
Since the middle-aged man knew that Gu Zheng was an Immortal Chef, Gu Zheng was too lazy to follow the procedure and make him swear. However, the tool spirit didn't say anything about Gu Zheng not following the rules this time.
Following Gu Zheng into the kitchen, Die Ling said, "Master, I feel that the ingredients provided by this guest are not bad!"
"Among the mortals, the ingredients he provides are the best! The eight eggs are from the Five-colored Feather Sparrow, the caramel sugar is from osmanthus, the starch is from the Immortal Potato, and the lard is from the Immortal Cloud Pig. The grades of these ingredients are all ordinary! As a mortal, even if he has some relationship with the Kunlun Sect, collecting these ingredients is definitely not easy. "
To Gu Zheng, among the ingredients provided by the middle-aged man, two of them were not unfamiliar to him. Instead, they brought back some memories.
Gu Zheng was lucky enough to eat the Five-colored Feather Sparrow's eggs when he went to Shu Mountain for the first time.
However, because the Five-colored Feather Sparrow had drunk the Earth Vein Spring Water by chance, the Five-colored Feather Sparrow's egg had reached the Intermediate grade. This was something that the Five-colored Feather Sparrow's egg that the middle-aged man had provided could not compare to.
As for the Immortal Cloud Pig Lard, when Gu Zheng went to the Kunlun Sect for the first time, he used the Immortal Cloud Pork, Immortal Cloud Pig Knuckles, and Immortal Cloud Pig Trotters to make a 'Three Immortal Sauce' dish. He won a set of immortal tools from the Kunlun Sect's disciple, Song Xiu.
"It's not easy for him to think about the delicacies he ate when he was young for so long," Die Ling said seriously.
Die Ling said seriously. Then, she turned to Gu Zheng and said pitifully, "Master, I also want to try the delicacies that I ate when I was young!"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at Die Ling. "When you were young? You ate the Immortal Apricot Fruit when you were young. If you want to eat it now, I'll immediately let you into the Chaos Space. You can eat as much as you want! "
"Not that when I was young, I want to eat the delicacies that master made for me when I was young!"
Die Ling looked at Gu Zheng and almost went over to shake his arm.
"I know, gluttonous dragoness! After this customer leaves, I'll make something good for you. "Gu Zheng smiled.
"Great!" Die Ling cheered.
"That's right master, do you know what the delicacies he ate when he was young were? He's ordering the dishes! "Die Ling reminded.
"Of course I know. Looking at these ingredients, I know what the best combination is! Also, although he doesn't know what the delicacies he ate when he was young were, he said that it was shaped like a moon. This is the same as the best combination. "Gu Zheng said.
"Delicacies shaped like a moon? Master, quickly tell me, what is this delicacies called? "Die Ling asked curiously.
"This delicacies is a rather famous dessert in my hometown. It's called 'Osmanthus Egg' and it's also called 'Three Non-Touching'!" Gu Zheng said.
"Three Non-Touching? What a strange name! "Die Ling's eyes widened.
"Because it doesn't touch the plate, chopsticks, or teeth. That's why it's called that."
As Gu Zheng spoke, he began to process the ingredients.
Although the middle-aged man's ingredients were of relatively good quality, it was still difficult to cook them. After all, the customer's satisfaction wasn't true satisfaction. The taotie statue's satisfaction was true satisfaction! The better the ingredients, the more flavorful the dish would be. Gu Zheng had to pay more attention to the degree of deliciousness produced by the combination of ingredients. The Gokusen statue had very high requirements for it!
The ingredients themselves were of good quality, so there weren't many complicated steps to process. Gu Zheng first purified the osmanthus candy, starch, and Xianyun lard. Then, he put the Five Colored Feather Sparrow egg into a bowl. After separating the egg white, he put the osmanthus candy, starch, and a little water together and then quickly beat the egg.
The process of beating the egg took Gu Zheng a full two minutes. After all, it wasn't as simple as beating the egg. There were many details involved.
After the egg was beaten, the lard in the wok was also heated to a suitable temperature. Gu Zheng poured the egg into the wok and quickly stirred it.
The temperature made the egg more viscous and a sweet smell rose up. Die Ling couldn't help but sniff her cute nose.
As he continued to cook, the egg turned into a ball! It had a relatively smooth appearance and also had a fragrant and sweet smell. As Gu Zheng stirred it in the pot, it was like a fish in water, happily moving about.
At this time, the 'osmanthus egg' had just taken shape. However, there were still many inadequacies inside that Gu Zheng had to deal with. For example, there was too much water, too much air, and so on. These were all factors that affected its deliciousness.
With one hand holding the wok, Gu Zheng began to beat the dough-like osmanthus egg in the wok with the smooth back of the wok with the other hand.
On the surface, Gu Zheng looked like an ordinary chef cooking the 'osmanthus egg', constantly holding the pot and beating it. However, in reality, the effect of the immortal technique was inside the 'osmanthus egg'. The beating on the surface was a supplement to the immortal technique and also a way to speed up the cooking of this delicacy.
The sweet smell filled the entire kitchen. The 'osmanthus egg' in the pot was done. At this time, it was a yellow color and looked like a yellow jade that had been polished.
White mist curled around the 'osmanthus egg'. Gu Zheng took it out of the pot and put it on a plate. He then closed the lid and had Die Ling bring it out for the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man impatiently opened the lid. The white mist curling around the 'osmanthus egg' immediately began to take shape.
Nimble mist-formed sparrows flew above the orange-yellow 'Osmanthus Egg'. The 'Osmanthus Egg' that looked like a bright moon on the plate continued to emit a mouth-watering aroma.
"Moon, it's this moon!"
The middle-aged man excitedly swallowed his saliva and said, "The moon that Immortal Elder made back then didn't take shape. The fragrance and sweetness can't compare to the one made by the shop owner!"
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Zheng with gratitude and admiration. Then he quickly picked up the plate and gently shook it.
The 'osmanthus egg's characteristic of not touching the plate was displayed. When it slid on the plate, there was almost no resistance.
After putting down the plate, the middle-aged man used his chopsticks to pick up the 'osmanthus egg'.
Due to the weight of the entire 'osmanthus egg', the 'osmanthus egg' that was picked up by the middle-aged man quickly split in half. The process of it splitting into half gave people a feeling similar to pulling honey. However, the part of the 'osmanthus egg' that was held by the middle-aged man's chopsticks didn't last long. The middle-aged man slightly loosened his grip on the chopsticks and the 'osmanthus egg' that was held by the chopsticks quickly slipped back into the plate like sand in his hand.
"That's right, it's this slippery!"
The middle-aged man was so excited that he could not be any more excited. He quickly put a piece of Osmanthus Egg into his mouth and closed his eyes to savor it.
The slippery and fragrant feeling tangled with his tongue. The sweet taste spread throughout the middle-aged man's mouth and heart.
"Delicious, it's really too delicious!"
After swallowing the 'osmanthus egg', the middle-aged man was so excited that he almost shouted out.
Soon, the plate of 'osmanthus egg' was finished by the middle-aged man. The plate was so clean that not a single trace of color could be seen.
"Fragrant and sweet, oily but not greasy, smooth and tender, but slightly chewy. This is the taste in my memory, but it's far better than the taste in my memory! Delicious, it's really too delicious! "
The middle-aged man was very excited. He stood up and wanted to shake hands with Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't reject the middle-aged man's desire. One of his hands was held by the middle-aged man's two hands. The middle-aged man was so excited that he kept shaking his hand.
The middle-aged man praised the 'osmanthus egg' a lot. His words were very sincere. Unfortunately, when he said that he wanted to come back to the shop another day, Gu Zheng told him that he didn't need to come anymore. This was because he was the shop's last business for mortals.
The middle-aged man left the shop with a bit of satisfaction and a bit of disappointment. Gu Zheng once again entered the kitchen and prepared to reward himself and Die Ling.
"The fifty mortal businesses have already been completed. After this, only the immortal cultivator businesses can be counted. After you eat, you can change the shop's rules for cultivators! "the artifact spirit said.
"What should I change it to?" Gu Zheng asked.
