"Exalted immortal, I'm here again!" Seeing Gu Zheng return, Yun Songtao smiled apologetically.
"Let's go. Let me see what ingredients you've prepared this time," Gu Zheng said.
After entering the shop, Yun Songtao took out the ingredients that Wei Yang had prepared for him.
Gu Zheng glanced at the ingredients and said, "Looks like you went to find an immortal chef!"
"Exalted immortal is amazing. You can tell at a glance that I went to find an immortal chef."
Yun Songtao smiled and said worriedly, "Exalted immortal, it's not against the rules for me to ask for these ingredients from an immortal chef, right?"
"No, as long as the ingredients are brought by you, it's fine."
Gu Zheng naturally didn't mind an immortal chef helping Yun Songtao. After all, the difficulty of the mission he set for Yun Songtao was to force Yun Songtao to help him find an immortal chef! If Yun Songtao didn't find an immortal chef, then it was almost impossible for him to complete all the missions.
"Exalted immortal, is the difficulty of the ingredients I brought here okay?" Yun Songtao asked.
"Yes, but next time, you can't use ingredients of such difficulty."
Gu Zheng's words made Yun Songtao heave a sigh of relief. As long as the ingredients were qualified, regardless of whether he won or lost, he would have completed a mission.
"Exalted immortal, if you regard the cooking difficulty of the ingredients as ten, what is the difficulty of the ingredients this time? Next time, what is the difficulty of the ingredients that I have to prepare? "Yun Songtao asked again.
Gu Zheng understood that Yun Songtao's question was actually what the immortal chef wanted him to ask. He smiled slightly and said, "For the ingredients you brought this time, I defined the cooking difficulty as two. The third mission's difficulty is four, the fourth mission's difficulty is six, and the fifth mission's difficulty is eight! Perhaps you don't understand how much the difficulty increases by two points each time, but tell the immortal chef you found. He will understand how much difference there is between the difficulty of two points. "
Yun Songtao didn't ask any more questions, and Gu Zheng quickly went to cook the ingredients for him this time.
The ingredients that Yun Songtao brought this time weren't rare. The reason why the difficulty of cooking it was higher than the previous time was also because the ingredients had been processed. However, last time, it was processed by Yun Songtao, and this time, it was processed by Immortal Chef Wei Yang.
The ingredients that Wei Yang had processed were not as simple as Yun Songtao's. His processing was very deep.
For example, the carrot that appeared in the ingredients, Wei Yang's treatment had completely cooked it! As for the soup used to cook the carrot, it was also carefully prepared by Wei Yang. Therefore, the difficulty of matching the carrot with the other ingredients was already very close to the boundary of unqualified ingredients!
After Gu Zheng's cooking, the originally terrible looking ingredients had once again become a delicacy in front of Yun Songtao.
After Yun Songtao finished enjoying the delicacy, he immediately returned to Kunlun.
The next afternoon, Wei Yang went to look for Yun Songtao as promised.
Hearing Yun Songtao's explanation of the difficulty of cooking, Wei Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "It sounds like two, four, six, eight, and it seems that the gap between the difficulty of each mission is very large, but in reality, the gap is very small!"
After sizing up Yun Songtao from head to toe, Wei Yang said playfully, "Fellow Yun, speaking of which, what special reason do you have for having such a special mission?"
"Don't mention it. It's not convenient to talk about the reason!"
Yun Songtao smiled bitterly. He remembered what he had promised Gu Zheng. Even though Wei Yang was his friend, he did not explain in detail what was going on.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, from the looks of it, the difficulty of my mission is a little beyond your imagination! Last time, you said that your premonition could help me twice. Can it help me a second time? "Yun Songtao's eyes were hopeful.
"Indeed, the difficulty of the mission is beyond my imagination. If we go according to the difficulty of two, four, six, eight, the difficulty of the ingredients that I have already prepared for you can only be considered three!" Wei Yang sighed.
Hearing Wei Yang's words, the hope in Yun Songtao's eyes disappeared. His entire face was wrinkled into a bitter gourd because of worry.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, what should we do?"
Yun Songtao's voice sounded as if he was about to cry.
"Hahahaha …"
Yun Songtao's worried look made Wei Yang unable to help but laugh out loud.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, could it be?"
Hearing Wei Yang laugh like this, Yun Songtao, whose eyes were wide open, instantly became spirited.
"Before I came to look for you, I had already gone to look for my Uncle-Master. After I begged him in every way, he gave me a set of ingredients and supplementary materials! With this set of ingredients and supplementary materials, not only can you complete a mission, but you can also win against the strange shop once! "
"Ah?"
Yun Songtao, who was originally sitting cross-legged, jumped up. He looked at Wei Yang in shock and said, "Really? I can actually win against the strange shop once? "
"Of course it's true. No matter what, the ingredients and supplementary materials were provided by my Uncle-Master!" Wei Yang said proudly.
"Forget it! I don't expect to win, as long as I can complete the mission. "
Yun Songtao went from shock to listless in an instant, which made Wei Yang roll his eyes.
"What's wrong? Don't you believe that you can win? "Wei Yang snorted.
"Although your Uncle-Master is also very powerful, the owner of the strange shop is obviously more powerful! Do you still remember the time when your Uncle-Master went to Kunlun two years ago? Wasn't he unable to cook the cold valley beast meat that time? And my son took the cold valley beast meat to the strange shop, and in the end, it was cooked into a delicacy by the owner of the strange shop! "Yun Songtao said.
"Although I also think that the owner of the strange shop is definitely more powerful than my Uncle-Master! However, it's not that my Uncle-Master can't cook the cold valley beast meat, it's just that it's too troublesome to cook! "
Wei Yang defended his Uncle-Master, and then he lost interest and didn't continue the topic of the cold valley beast meat. No matter what, Wei Yang's Uncle-Master couldn't cook the cold valley beast meat into a delicacy. This was an indisputable fact.
"No matter what, there's a high chance of winning against the strange shop this time!" Wei Yang gritted his teeth and said.
Yun Songtao didn't answer Wei Yang's words. He forced himself to focus and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, let me take a look at the ingredients and supplementary materials you've prepared first."
"Okay!"
Wei Yang took out a box from his storage belt.
After looking at the ingredients and supplementary materials in the box, Yun Songtao frowned again, "Fellow Daoist Wei, with these ingredients, is it really possible to win against the strange shop? Not only are these ingredients and supplementary materials of good quality, but you didn't even process them! With such ingredients, not to mention winning against the strange shop, it's hard to say if they can even be qualified by the strange shop! After all, my previous ingredients that were of poor quality and had been processed weren't even taken a fancy by the strange shop! With ingredients like yours, not to mention the owner of the strange shop, even the chefs of our Kunlun Sect can cook them into delicacies! "
Looking at Yun Songtao who didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Wei Yang laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, let me tell you some things about the Dao of Cooking! In the Dao of Cooking, you are a layman, so you must learn humbly! Even if you read the shop rules, you still don't understand the situation of the mission that the owner of the strange shop is doing. The difficulty of the mission that he wants is not that the worse the ingredients are, the more they are processed, the more difficult it is! In the hearts of immortal chefs, whether the ingredients can be used or not, there is a degree of depth or shallowness. This degree can be regarded as the lower limit! The better the ingredients and supplementary materials, the more difficult it is to cook. After all, their starting point is high! Compared to poor ingredients and supplementary materials, excellent ingredients and supplementary materials need to be cooked into a higher level of delicacies in order to show the extraordinariness of the culinary skills! Compared to the so-called lower limit, good ingredients can be regarded as the upper limit, and this upper limit can be said to be endless in the Dao of Cooking! Therefore, it's not that the worse the ingredients, the more difficult it is to cook, because it can't be cooked if it's too bad! "
Although Yun Songtao also knew that Wei Yang really wanted to help him, he was already very anxious in his heart. Looking at Wei Yang's frank and assured speech, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
"Endless? Doesn't that mean that my mission can be completed easily? As long as I provide high-grade ingredients, I don't have to worry about it! "
Wei Yang shook his head and said, "No, although the good ingredients are endless, the cooking skills of the owner of the strange shop have already reached an unimaginable level! It's also because of this that the higher the grade of the ingredients provided to him, the more difficult it is for him to cook! If you want to complete your mission, you can only take an unconventional path, and the ingredients in front of you are the unconventional path of cooking! "
"The unconventional path …"
Knowing that Yun Songtao still wanted to argue, Wei Yang, who didn't want to continue on this topic, reached out and interrupted him.
"Forget it, I won't explain it to you anymore. After all, different professions are worlds apart! You only need to know that the ingredients and supplementary materials I provided you this time seem to be very simple, but they really have the possibility of defeating the owner of the strange shop! "
Wei Yang's voice paused, and then he said seriously, "Fellow Daoist Yun, the ingredients this time were provided by my Uncle-Master. It was also something that I spent a lot of effort to get! If you didn't need it, I really wouldn't have done it. "
Hearing Wei Yang's words, Yun Songtao said apologetically, "I know. My heart was in a mess just now. Fellow Daoist Wei, don't take what I said to heart!"
"It's okay. The two of us are friends. Of course, I understand you! However, the set of ingredients that my Uncle-Master provided to you is not provided for free! "Wei Yang said.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, what do you want? Fellow Daoist Wei, just say it!"
The Fellow Daoist Huang that Yun Songtao mentioned was Wei Yang's Uncle-Master.
Wei Yang took out another box and said, "There are some ingredients inside. You can use these ingredients to bet the compensation of an immortal weapon with the owner of the strange shop. My Uncle-Master wants that immortal weapon from the strange shop!"
"Sure, I just want to complete the mission. I don't care about the compensation."
Yun Songtao paused and continued, "However, I still have to remind Fellow Daoist Wei that you have to be careful that your Uncle-Master goes for wool and comes home shorn. The owner of that strange shop is really powerful!"
"Don't worry, I naturally know whether he's powerful or not. However, the origin of this ingredient is really great. He might fall for it!"
Seeing that Wei Yang was still very sure after saying so much, Yun Songtao couldn't help but be curious. "Fellow Daoist Wei, what is the origin of your Uncle-Master's ingredient?"
"Let's go. I'll go with you to meet the owner of the strange shop. As for the matter of this set of ingredients, I'll tell you in detail on the way." Wei Yang said with a smile.
When Wei Yang and Yun Songtao arrived at the strange shop, there was a customer in the shop. They could only follow the rules and wait outside the strange shop.
Because to mortals, the strange shop was still closed, there was no one else outside the shop other than Wei Yang and Yun Songtao.
Wei Yang and Yun Songtao waited outside the strange shop for half an incense stick's time. A cultivator of the Shu Mountain Sect came out of the strange shop dejectedly.
Wei Yang and Yun Songtao knew the cultivator of the Shu Mountain Sect. After the three of them chatted briefly, the two of them entered the strange shop with the blessing of the cultivator of the Shu Mountain Sect.
"Immortal, I'm here again!"
Seeing Gu Zheng, Yun Songtao hurriedly bowed.
"You came quite quickly this time!" Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
Yun Songtao didn't tell Wei Yang much about Gu Zheng, but Wei Yang wasn't surprised by Yun Songtao's salute to Gu Zheng. After all, Wei Yang had already guessed that Yun Songtao would have such a special mission.
"I'm Wei Yang. Greetings, Fellow Daoist!" Wei Yang cupped his fists and said.
Gu Zheng returned the salute and said with a smile, "I'm Bai Zhu. Why is Fellow Daoist Wei's Immortal Kitchen not open?"
There were only two Immortal Chefs in this country. When Gu Zheng searched the souls of the people of the Kunlun Sect, he already knew about Wei Yang. Two days ago, when he was chatting with an immortal cultivator, Gu Zheng also learned from the immortal cultivator that Wei Yang's Immortal Kitchen was temporarily closed.
"After the rules of the strange shop changed, many immortal cultivators wanted to go to my place to ask for a way. I didn't get tired of it, so I closed the Immortal Kitchen," Wei Yang said with a bitter smile.
"It's because of this Bai's strange shop that it brought trouble to Fellow Daoist Wei's Immortal Kitchen. This is really a little embarrassing! However, this Bai doesn't plan to stay on Feng Lan Star for long. After the mission is completed, I will leave this place, "Gu Zheng said with an apologetic tone.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was speaking very kindly, Wei Yang transmitted his voice to Gu Zheng. "Fellow Daoist Bai, although this question is very abrupt, this Wei is really curious. Is Fellow Daoist Bai a super Immortal Chef?"
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Wei?" Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to Wei Yang.
"This Wei thinks so!"
Wei Yang's words didn't receive any response from Gu Zheng. Only Gu Zheng's hearty laughter resounded in his mind.
"Exalted Immortal, I have a question to ask," Yun Songtao said.
"Ask," Gu Zheng said.
"Regarding the evaluation of taste, is the standard in your heart the same as the standard in our hearts?"
The question Yun Songtao asked was actually what Wei Yang asked him to ask.
Gu Zheng smiled. He glanced at Wei Yang. Yun Songtao, who had never asked this question before, actually asked such a question. He naturally knew that this was something Wei Yang wanted to know.
"The shop rules of the strange shop say that the taste is all up to the customer. However, everyone also understands that this is not a place to say things that go against your heart. Therefore, since the opening of the strange shop until now, other than your son, no one has dared to go against their heart to evaluate the food I cook!"
"As for the question you asked, no one has ever asked it. However, since you asked, I will tell you that my requirements for the taste of food are higher than that of you diners! If the food I cook doesn't meet the standard in my heart, I won't go against my heart and say that the food I cook is delicious just because I'm afraid of losing! "
"I can also tell you the same. I don't need to taste the food I cook to know how delicious it is! Because of this, if it doesn't meet my standards, I won't bring it to the table. As for the food that is brought to the table, no matter what your evaluation is, the person who wins is already me! "
Gu Zheng's words were very domineering, but they were also very true. Yun Songtao was only shocked when he heard it, but Wei Yang was excited when he heard it.
Although Gu Zheng didn't directly answer Wei Yang's question about the grade of the Immortal Chef, his words were already an affirmation of his identity in the ears of Wei Yang, who was also an Immortal Chef.
"The Eye of Dao! This is definitely a super Immortal Chef with the Eye of Dao! "
Wei Yang shouted in his heart excitedly, so much so that the gaze he used to look at Gu Zheng became somewhat fanatical.
There were top figures in every industry, and an Immortal Chef with the Eye of Dao was already the top of this industry in Wei Yang's heart! Such a person was enough for him to worship, respect, and look up to.
"Your question also made me look forward to the ingredients you brought this time! You should think that you can win, that's why you asked such a question, right? "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Indeed." Yun Songtao smiled bitterly.
On the way from the Kunlun Sect, Yun Songtao and Wei Yang had talked about the ingredients they had prepared this time. After hearing Wei Yang's explanation, Yun Songtao, who was originally resolute, was shaken. He felt that the ingredients this time could really stump Gu Zheng! After all, the ingredients Wei Yang provided were not simple! But now, Gu Zheng's bearing left Yun Songtao at a loss. The matter that he originally thought was very likely to be true had now become uncertain.
"Come, let me see what ingredients you brought this time!"
Gu Zheng's interest was piqued, and Yun Songtao immediately took out the ingredients.
"Sigh!"
Looking at the ingredients Yun Songtao brought, Gu Zheng sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Songtao and Wei Yang spoke at the same time and said the same thing.
Yun Songtao was very nervous. He was afraid that Gu Zheng would say that the ingredients he brought were not qualified at all.
Wei Yang felt that it was very unbelievable. Although he already admired Gu Zheng, if Gu Zheng said that the ingredients this time were not suitable, then he would definitely feel that such a person was not worthy of admiration because he could not afford to lose!
Looking at Yun Songtao and Wei Yang's nervous expressions, Gu Zheng could not help but laugh. "Don't worry, it's not that the ingredients are not qualified. I just feel that it's a pity."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore! What level of compensation do you want? "Gu Zheng asked Yun Songtao.
"The highest level. I want the strange shop to lose and compensate with that top-grade immortal weapon!"
Yun Songtao took out the ingredients that Wei Yang gave him and handed them to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng opened the box and looked at the high-grade ingredients in the box. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Previously, you only gambled with the lowest level of compensation to complete the mission. This time, you actually dare to gamble with the highest level of compensation. Aren't you afraid of losing?"
Yun Songtao looked at Wei Yang. He hoped that Wei Yang could lower his level, but Wei Yang's eyes were filled with excitement. He gave him an affirmative look.
"I'm not afraid. If I lose, I lose!"
Since Wei Yang was not afraid of losing, Yun Songtao was even less afraid.
"Alright, the strange shop will accept your business. I'll go and cook for you now!"
Gu Zheng's serious words fell. He took the ingredients and walked to the kitchen.
