Chapter 755

The young man looked at the kitchen with wide eyes. The water for boiling the preserved eggs was quickly boiled, and a layer of white mist enveloped the pot.

"It smells good!"

Butterfly Spirit's lovely nose twitched, and she breathed in the fragrance in the air.

"Master, will the white mist on this pot turn into a very fragrant form? Why do you think it is similar to the extremely fragrant white mist, but not exactly the same?" Die Ling asked.

"What do you think?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Won't!"

Die Ling shook his head and said: "The aroma of those delicacies made by the master that can be transformed into extremely fragrant and delicious food is much more attractive than this! Moreover, the white air on the pot is also different from this one. The white air feels very spiritual. This feels like a lack of spirituality.”

"You're right. If the ingredients were better, this dish could be extremely fragrant. But just using the ingredients he provided, it's already reached the limit. After all, the ingredients he provides are really poor in nature.”

As Gu Zheng spoke, he opened the lid of the pot. The young man didn't even see the preserved eggs coming out of the pot. The lid on Gu Zheng's other hand was also on the plate.

However, Gu Zheng did not immediately hand over the cooked food to Die Ling. He just held the plate and used the Five Elements Immortal Technique to perform the final treatment on the food.

The final process was very short. After Gu Zheng handed the plate to Die Ling, Die Ling brought it to the table in front of the young man.

The young man glanced at the plate, but did not immediately lift the lid. His eyes fell on Gu Zheng again.

"Why don't you eat?" Gu Zheng asked as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Are you a cultivator or a cultivator?"

Thinking about what his friend said before, and looking at the calmness on Gu Zheng's face, the young man who was definitely going to win was a little unsure. Moreover, he is very sensitive to the smell of lime. When he came into close contact with the plate, he could not smell the smell of lime at all.

"Practitioner."

Gu Zheng smiled lightly: "Eat it quickly! I also want to know what your opinion is on this dish."

The young man nodded, and after lifting the lid on the plate, his eyes widened instantly.

There was nothing else on the plate except for a preserved egg. The preserved egg that was expected to be deformed after being boiled did not deform at all. It was still as smooth as if it had just been peeled off. Moreover, there were no ‘pine flowers’ in the original preserved eggs, but now there are ‘pine flowers’ all over the preserved eggs! And this kind of 'pine flowers' are not like the ones in regular preserved eggs. They are larger in area and more beautiful in appearance. Their colors are not just white, but also red and green.

It is like a piece of light yellow amber, embellished with colorful patterns, and the egg yolk wrapped in the center is like a round topaz.

Just seeing the appearance of the preserved eggs, the young man was already very surprised. After taking a deep breath, he found that not only was there no taste of lime, but it had an appetizing aroma.

"sharp!"

The young man extended his thumb to Gu Zheng, and then just touched the preserved egg with his chopsticks. The preserved egg, with no visible gap at first, was evenly divided into four pieces. This was Gu Zheng's little trick when taking the preserved egg out of the pot.

Four even pieces of preserved eggs, each piece has egg yolk on it, which is more convenient for the young man to taste.

The young man picked up a piece of preserved egg and frowned when he didn't put it into his mouth immediately. Although the color and smell of preserved eggs shocked him, it was an indisputable fact that he was allergic to preserved eggs.

The young man is not short of money. The biggest purpose of coming to Qidian is to increase the competitiveness of young people. However, after he was shocked by the color and fragrance of preserved eggs, his mentality has changed subtly! He wants to lose more than win now, because he has a special story with Pi Dan, and he wants to taste the taste in his memory, the taste that can move him.

Hesitating for just a moment, the young man closed his eyes, put the preserved egg into his mouth, and bit it carefully.

The worried feeling of vomiting did not arise, but only the delicious fragrance bursting in the mouth. The young man chewed faster, and four pieces of preserved eggs were simply not enough to eat.

The plate was quickly empty. The young man looked at the empty plate and licked his lips, then looked at Gu Zheng.

"When I was a child, I didn't live with my parents. I lived with my grandma in the countryside. For some reasons, the living conditions at that time were not good. Grandma raised a lot of chickens at home and made various kinds of eggs. Food has become the most familiar taste to me since I was a child! Among these foods, my favorite is my grandma’s preserved eggs.”

"When I was thirteen years old, my grandma passed away, and my parents took me to the city. Within two years, I lived a very prosperous life. However, because I grew up with my grandma, my relationship with my parents was not the same. No. One time, my mother, who was not good at cooking, cooked me 'preserved egg and lean meat porridge' in order to please me. How did my mother make the preserved egg porridge? I only know that I couldn't help but vomit after eating a piece of preserved egg! From then on, I smelled the lime smell on the preserved egg, which was very strong! If you eat preserved eggs, you will not only spit them out, but your throat will also feel tight and you will feel like you are suffocating.”

"It's been ten years, and I really miss the taste of preserved eggs in my memory!"

The original arrogance on the young man's face has long since disappeared, replaced by a kind of sincerity.

"I have to thank you! You let me taste the taste of preserved eggs again, and I have to admit that this is the best preserved egg I have ever tasted! The flavors that all the ingredients should have have been perfectly integrated into the preserved eggs. , it allowed me to see the magic of cooking. In my opinion, it is impossible to taste delicious combinations, but I still want to eat them! ”

The young man looked at the empty plate again and swallowed: "You win. I am very satisfied with the preserved egg you made. It is a well-deserved delicacy!"

"When you were cooking the preserved eggs, I was still thinking that if the preserved eggs you made were delicious, then I would look for more difficult ingredients until I stumped you, but now it seems there is no need for this! In order to find the ones from childhood It feels like I have also eaten preserved eggs made by an immortal chef. Although the ingredients of the preserved eggs were not perfect, they were at least exquisite, but I still vomited after eating them! So, no matter what your true identity is! , I admire you very much!”

The young man cupped his fists in front of Gu Zheng as a gift, but his decision also made Gu Zheng dumbfounded. Gu Zheng wished that he would make things difficult for him again, or even a few times, but unfortunately he was already convinced just this time.

Without saying anything more, the young man turned around and left Qidian without looking at the money he left behind. He was really convinced, and even the Taotie statue had no impact on his evaluation.

"Young man, you can eat preserved eggs in the future. The preserved eggs just now are not only delicious, but also cured your allergy to preserved eggs." Gu Zheng said.

"Thank you!"

The young man turned around and smiled at Gu Zheng. He had no doubts about Gu Zheng's words.

"Don't worry, owner, I won't say anything more about what happened here." The young man thought for a while and said.

For the young man, it no longer mattered whether Gu Zheng was a cultivator, an immortal cultivator, or an immortal chef. Now he was not only convinced by Gu Zheng, but also convinced!

"Dude, what's going on?"

Seeing the young man walking out of the strange shop, someone immediately asked.

"I lost."

The young man smiled slightly, but did not stop in his footsteps, nor did he answer the various details asked by the onlookers.

After returning to the car, the young man called his friend back.

"I lost, I am convinced!"

Before his friend could ask any more questions, the young man hung up the phone.

"Successfully completed the first business, not bad!" Qi Ling said with a smile.

"This is already the second day after receiving the mission, and this is the first business I have completed!" Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.

"If you take one step at a time, maybe there will be more customers in the future?"

Facing Qi Ling's comfort, Gu Zheng didn't say much, but just smiled noncommittally.

Although the young man had no intention of challenging Qidian again, his friend Han Zhe couldn't calm down.

Han Zhe is a chef and runs a snack bar by himself. Although the snack bar is small, it is an ancestral business and is quite famous in the local area! Being famous naturally means that he has delicious food. Because of this, although it is past dinner time, the business in Han Zhe's snack bar is still booming.

After receiving the call from the young man, Han Zhe was no longer interested in doing business. He called his wife and told her about the young man's visit to Qidian.

"Do you think it's strange or not? I know Jin Yu. He is unwilling to admit defeat in anything, but why did he give in so easily this time? And he said he was convinced in a very serious way?" Han Zhe's voice was full of emotion. Confuse.

"What's wrong, are you interested in this strange shop?"

Naturally, Han Zhe's wife knew her husband very well. Although Han Zhe had always talked about the young man's affairs, Han Zhe's wife already knew his true thoughts.

"Hehe, yes, I am indeed interested! Although the business of our snack bar is good, it is small profits but quick turnover. If I have one million, can't we change to a bigger house?" Han Zhe said .

"I think there are two possibilities for this matter! The first possibility is that the chefs in Qidian are really good, and they really make delicious things that are impossible to taste. The second possibility is that the people in Qidian They are immortal cultivators, or monsters. They use magic to make the originally unpalatable food delicious. Jin Yu was just confused. "

Han Zhe's wife paused and then said, "Let's analyze the second possibility first. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

"I think it's impossible! Qidian has caused heated discussions on the Internet now. Do you think monsters dare to open such a store? After all, the world is still decided by cultivators! If monsters open such a store, That is undoubtedly seeking death. In other words, whether it is a monster or a cultivator, I think it is. They don't necessarily come to win our mortal currency! I think Jin Yu also thinks this is impossible, so he enters Qidian. Moreover, regardless of whether they are monsters or cultivators, I think what the notice outside the store said. "The explanation that they opened a strange store just to complete a task is very believable!" Han Zhe said.

Han Zhe's wife thought for a while and said: "Even if your guess is completely correct, what if it is the first possibility? Do you think you can stump others?"

"Qidian can make preserved eggs delicious, but it may not be able to make other things delicious."

Han Zhe smiled and then expressed his thoughts: "There are three kinds of snacks that our family is best at. Among them, the leek box is the most famous and has won awards at food festivals across the country. For snacks like the leek box, Of course I know it very well and am very picky about its taste. Wife, do you think if I provide him with poor materials for making leek boxes, will he be able to make a leek box that will conquer my taste buds?”

Han Zhe's wife was silent for a while, and then she said: "No!"

"Husband, you know, it's not that I'm not sure about our leek box, I'm really worried that the other party is not an ordinary person, and they will use unusual means to win!" Han Zhe's wife said again.

"If that's really the case, we just lose one hundred thousand yuan. Although one hundred thousand yuan is not a small number, without it, it will not have a great impact on our family! If my wife doesn't want me to try to win, then One million, then I won’t go.” Han Zhe said.

Han Zhe's wife took a deep breath and said, "If my husband wants to try it, he can go and try it, but I have a condition!"

"What conditions?" Han Zhe asked.

"Go and see Jin Yu and make sure you can try again! Then, no matter you lose or win, don't go to Qidian again in the future, okay?" Han Zhe's wife said.

"Okay, I promise you!" Han Zhe said seriously.

After hanging up the phone with his wife, Han Zhe immediately called Jin Yu, but the message failed to connect.

Han Zhe is the kind of person who wants to try something immediately once he is sure about something. Although he failed to contact Jin Yu, it had little impact on him. He immediately started collecting the ingredients to be brought to Qidian.

The phone rang over and over again, but Jin Yu still didn't answer it. He just slowly tasted a plate of 'red oil preserved eggs' placed on the table.

"Why didn't you answer Han Zhe's call?"

The girlfriend was sitting in front of Jin Yu. She dragged her chin with her hands and watched Jin Yu eat with relish.

Jin Yu didn't answer his girlfriend's question immediately, so he ate the last piece of preserved egg.

The 'Red Oil Preserved Egg' was made by a famous chef. Although the taste was not comparable to that made by Gu Zheng, the preserved egg had Jin Yu's special complex in it, so he was still very satisfied with the meal. This feeling of regaining what he had lost was right for him. It was wonderful for him.

Jin Yu wiped his mouth and said: "I set up call forwarding for him. I knew that when he called at this time, he must ask me about Qidian. I told the owner at Qidian that I had no idea what happened there. Say more! So, I don’t want to answer his call for the time being.”

"Then you're not afraid that Han Zhe is looking for you for something else?" asked his girlfriend.

"He couldn't be looking for me for anything else. He must have had the idea of ​​trying it out, and then wanted to ask me about the specific situation. After all, he told me about Qidian, and after he told me about Qidian When he did, he was already moved." Jin Yu said.

"Then he is taking advantage of you?" his girlfriend frowned.

"Not really. After all, we are friends. One hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount to him, but it is nothing to me." Jin Yu said.

"Then do you think Han Zhe will lose or win when he goes to Qidian?" his girlfriend asked again.

"You will definitely lose!" Jin Yu replied without hesitation.

"You haven't tasted the preserved egg I ate. It made me feel like it wasn't food!"

Jin Yu's eyes looked a little confused, but his voice was serious.

"I don't understand. What can preserved eggs be if they are not food?" said my girlfriend curiously.

Jin Yu thought for a while, then pointed to the room and said, "What did you see?"

My girlfriend scanned the room with her eyes, and said without knowing why, "What you see is the room!"

Jin Yu stood up, opened the window and pointed at the night sky: "What did you see again?"

"I saw the stars!"

Jin Yu's girlfriend was not stupid. When she answered, she immediately fell into deep thought.

"I see!"

Jin Yu's girlfriend smiled bitterly, and then said: "It seems that Han Zhe will really lose!"

"It doesn't matter, it's only 100,000 yuan. When I saw him, I gave him 100,000 yuan as compensation for not answering his phone calls." Jin Yu said with a smile.

When Han Zhe came to Qidian with money and ingredients, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening. His arrival made Gu Zheng's eyes brighten. The people watching the excitement outside the door had already dispersed. Gu Zheng thought that today would be just one business deal for Jin Yu. Unexpectedly, a well-prepared person showed up at this moment! Moreover, as soon as Han Zhe opened his mouth, Gu Zheng could already tell that he was the person who talked to Jin Yu on the phone.

"Boss, I want to order something."

Han Zhe didn't say much. After knowing that Gu Zheng was the owner and chef of Qidian, he immediately went straight to the topic.

"Okay, but you know the rules of ordering, right?" Gu Zheng said.

There are two business models of Qidian, both of which are introduced on the bulletin board outside the store.

The first mode is the one Jin Yu has used, that is, the ingredients are provided by Jin Yu, but how it is done is determined by Gu Zheng.

The second mode is the so-called a la carte. The ingredients are also provided by the diners, but the diners can specify what dishes they want Qidian to use these ingredients for. Since the ordering is subject to the customer's name, the customer is also restricted when providing ingredients. The ingredients provided must be the kind that can be used to make the order, and cannot be provided impromptu.

Just like the ingredients provided by Jin Yu, if he chooses to order a dish called "cold preserved eggs", then the brown sugar and lard in it may be defined as illegal ingredients by Gu Zheng or the Taotie statue! After all, no matter which kind of "cold preserved eggs", brown sugar and lard will not be used in it.

"I know the rules! Although I choose to order dishes, there is a fluctuation in the choice of ingredients, right?" Han Zhe asked again.

What Han Zhe said is that he can also provide some ingredients that do not exist in the ordered dishes, just like the brown sugar and lard that are not needed for "cold preserved eggs". However, whether such ingredients will be used or not is the choice of Qidian.
