Chapter 758
Gu Zheng said that her words and deeds were immodest, and the female guest looked very embarrassed. She opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything for a while.
"Do you still want me to cook the ingredients you brought?"
Gu Zheng spoke again. If the female guest wanted to change her attention because of his words, he didn't care at all.
"think."
The female guest nodded, her originally frivolous eyes became a little fearful, and she opened the box on the table.
"Is that all you have to offer?"
The thing placed in the box is a box of cans. It is so "notorious" both on earth and on the Fenglan planet. Its name is - canned herring.
"That's right, this is all I offer, can you accept such a business?"
The female guest looked at Gu Zheng cautiously. Gu Zheng's cold warning just now really frightened her.
"Okay, swear!" Gu Zheng said.
"good."
The female guest swore obediently and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Zheng entering the kitchen with the canned herring.
"Humph, you don't even look in the mirror. You look like a pig, but you actually want to take advantage of my master!"
Following Gu Zheng into the kitchen, Die Ling spoke angrily.
"If your sister hadn't said anything just now, would you have scolded her too?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Of course! If she is not a customer of Qidian, let's see how I deal with her!"
Die Ling glared at the female guest who was looking into the kitchen, and she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
"Okay, don't be angry! The world is full of wonders. There is no need to get angry over trivial matters. Besides, I don't have any wrong thoughts about her."
Gu Zheng's words fell to the ground and he frowned slightly. He learned through the prohibition posted outside the store that someone knocked on the door at Qidian No. 3.
"You go to No. 3 Qidian to receive you. I'll go there after I handle this business." Gu Zheng said.
"Okay, today is really good, business is coming one after another!"
Business came to her door, which made Die Ling forget her previous unhappiness. She immediately left the kitchen and was greeted by Qidian No. 3 ahead.
As for canned herring, Gu Zheng had heard of its name before he became a cultivator, but he had never really come into contact with this kind of food.
Although he knew that canned herring stinks, when Gu Zheng opened it, the smell was still a bit beyond imagination.
"Such a stinky garbage ingredient. If it wasn't for a mission, I really don't want you to cook it!" Qi Ling gritted his teeth.
"Many times there is only a thin line between fragrance and stink. The odor produced by the fermentation of certain foods is often diluted many times to produce fragrance. In fact, smell is also a very high level in diet, which includes the taste of food ingredients. The way of essential transformation!" Gu Zheng said.
"Really? Why haven't I heard Master Tiexian say this?" Qi Ling asked suspiciously.
"When you first followed me, you didn't like many ingredients. I think this also came from Lord Tiexian's influence on you! In my opinion, Lord Tiexian certainly knows this truth, but he doesn't care about it. If I'm going to cook this kind of food, I won't tell you much," Gu Zheng said.
Qi Ling thought for a moment and said, "It seems to make sense!"
"Speaking of which, it's a box of smelly cans with no ingredients or accessories. Is it difficult to cook this time?" Qi Ling asked.
"The difficulty of cooking is okay! If it wasn't difficult, the Taotie statue would definitely not agree." Gu Zheng said.
"Compared with the previous three orders?" Qi Ling asked again.
"It is more difficult than the previous three orders, and it will take longer to process."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he poured the canned herring into the bowl and put it in the steamer.
Using the Fire Control Technique to stimulate the fire, Gu Zheng carefully controlled the temperature. What he had to do now was not to let the water boil, but to reach the appropriate temperature.
The appropriate temperature has been reached, and Gu Zheng uses water control techniques to control the changes in the meat quality of the herring in the bowl. This step is a preliminary transformation of the essence of the ingredients.
After a while, Gu Zheng took the bowl out of the cage, and the female guest also approached the glass curiously.
In the eyes of the female customer, the herring in the bowl was no different from when she first opened the can. But in Gu Zheng's eyes, the color of the meat under the skin of the herring is no longer the original white, but has become somewhat beige.
There was a lot of soup in the bowl with the herring, which was the soup it had when it was canned. Gu Zheng left the herring in the bowl, poured the soup into the pot, and started to simmer over low heat.
It has been preliminarily processed in the cage, and the herring soup does not smell as bad as expected during the cooking process.
The soup in the pot had just boiled, and Gu Zheng poured it out. Under the influence of the extreme cold, the soup immediately cooled down, and Gu Zheng poured it into the bowl with herring.
Putting the bowl with herring on the steamer again, Gu Zheng began to use the Five Elements Immortal Technique to process the herring again.
It was steaming and decoction again, going back and forth four times, and every time it came out of the pot when the water was boiling.
After four steaming and four frying, Gu Zheng poured the seven herrings in the bowl into the plate along with the soup. At this time, the color of the herring is beige, and the originally gray-white soup has turned into milky white. The smell is not only not smelly at all, but also exudes a delicious aroma similar to fish stew.
"The last time!"
Gu Zheng secretly thought and placed the plate with herring in the steamer. This time he completely let the herring enter the steaming process.
After a while.
The cooked herring appeared on the lady's table.
Looking at the beige herring and milky white soup on the plate, the female guest's eyes widened.
"Is this still the canned herring I brought? Why is there no smell at all?"
The female guest whispered that she had never eaten canned herring, she just knew that it smelled bad.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. He just watched quietly. Anyway, he had already cooked the canned herring without cheating. As for the female guest's question, he was too lazy to respond.
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't respond, the female guest also felt bored. She picked up her chopsticks and started to stir up the herring.
"Huh, I'm getting more and more angry. What's so great about cultivating immortals? My aunt has never been treated like this in her whole life! Do you swear? The vows that my aunt has made since she was a child have never been fulfilled!"
The female guest cursed in her heart, picked up a piece of herring meat and put it in her mouth, chewing it hard as if she was biting Gu Zheng's meat.
After eating a piece of herring meat, the female guest put down her chopsticks. She looked at Gu Zheng and said: "I have never eaten canned herring, and I don't know how to evaluate things made from canned herring. All I know is that not only does it not smell It has a different kind of umami taste, and the meat is so fat and tender that it seems to melt when you bite it in your mouth. But it's not boring at all. I didn't expect that a dish made with canned herring would be the most delicious fish I've ever eaten compared to its predecessor! , you have indeed made it a well-deserved delicacy! Congratulations, you have successfully completed a business!”
Gu Zheng's brows furrowed. When the female guest was about to speak, her expression looked calm. But after she started speaking, her expression looked very painful, as if she was suffering! However, the pained expression did not affect the solemnity of her voice at all. In the end, she congratulated Gu Zheng on completing a business, which made Gu Zheng immediately look at the Taotie statue.
"That's right, this bitch wanted to make comments against her will. The Taotie statue had an effect on her, forcing her to tell the truth." Qi Ling said.
"Are you just telling the truth? I feel like things are not that simple!"
Gu Zheng saw something unusual from the female guest's painful expression.
"The Taotie statue was given by Lord Tie Xian. It is not a dead object, but a psychic object! Although Lord Tie Xian did not set any rules for swearing in the mission, after I perfected the rules, diners must follow the rules. She took an oath but went against her will. I don’t think she will live long!" Qi Ling sneered.
"Although the Taotie statue is psychic, will it cause unnecessary trouble to me by doing this?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Probably, anyway, this is not within the scope of the Taotie statue. All it does is help this stinky woman fulfill her oath!"
Qi Ling didn't take it seriously, but Gu Zheng couldn't let it go. After all, he still had a lot of business to do.
"Ugh!"
The female guest suddenly let out a muffled groan, and the painful expression on her face disappeared, replaced by a look of confusion! There seemed to be a voice in her head reminding her, telling her that she was very tired now. She didn't want to say anything or know anything. She just wanted to go home and sleep!
The female customer was very obedient. She followed the voice in her head and started walking towards the door of Qidian.
However, the female guest fainted before she could get out of the strange shop. Gu Zheng used 'weaving' to tamper with the female guest's memory.
"Even if she dies, it's her own fault, but her death will affect the business, so let's spare her life!"
Gu Zheng 'weaved' the memory of the female guest and resolved the power of the Taotie statue left in her body, which would cause her to die three days later.
The female guest left Qidian. She had a very clear memory of what happened in Qidian, but this memory was also the memory that Gu Zheng allowed her to have.
"The fourth business has been completed, and I hope that in future business, there won't be such reckless people again!"
Looking at the female guest leaving and shaking his head, Gu Zheng used the Teleportation Immortal Formation to go to No. 3 Qidian. The customers there had been waiting for him for a while.
The customers in the No. 3 store were more straightforward. It didn't take much time for Gu Zheng to make the ingredients he provided delicious and completed the fifth order since the opening of Qidian.
Without giving Gu Zheng time to rest, another customer knocked on the door of No. 1 Qidian.
Gu Zheng rushed to No. 1 Qidian and welcomed the frail-looking male customer wearing glasses into the store.
After the guest sat down, Gu Zheng stared at him and said, "Are you a reporter?"
"no!"
The guest was very calm. He pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and asked, "Why do you say I am a reporter?"
"Because you are wearing pinhole camera equipment." Gu Zheng said.
"Didn't you tell other guests that you were just a cultivator? If you were just a cultivator, you wouldn't have known that I had a pinhole camera device on me as soon as you saw me, right?"
Gu Zheng's identity was revealed, but the reporter did not panic because of it. He dared to take secret photos. He still had a mentality that was different from ordinary people.
"To ordinary guests, I would say that I am a cultivator, but to you..."
Gu Zheng's voice was drawn out, and he extended his hand to the reporter.
The reporter wanted to hide, but the air around him was already tight. He could only feel Gu Zheng's hand on his head with horrified eyes, and then he knew nothing.
It was not unimaginable that a reporter would pretend to be a customer and visit a strange store secretly, so Gu Zheng had already planned for this.
Gu Zheng searched the reporter's soul. He thought the media behind the reporter was just a local media, but who would have thought that the media behind him was actually a very famous media in this country, and many people paid attention to the news of this media.
After learning the results of Gu Zheng's soul search of the reporter, the spirit of the weapon said: "Very good, the media behind him has such a large attention, and you don't have to move the Qidian to another place."
"Initially, it was indeed planned to move the Qidian to another place when the Qidian in these three cities was not patronized much. Now it seems that it is really unnecessary." Gu Zheng smiled slightly.
The appearance of Qidian has caused heated discussions on the Internet, but how the owner of Qidian cooks has always been a mystery to curious netizens! In addition to how the owner of Qidian cooks, netizens are also very curious about many things in Qidian.
The task given by the big media to the reporter is to be able to produce video revelations. Even if it is impossible to produce video revelations for some reasons, it is necessary to compile a manuscript with the details of Gu Zheng's cooking and some detailed information in Qidian.
Although Qidian will change some rules to attract immortal cultivators in a month, customer sources should not be a problem at that time. But in this month, Gu Zheng still wants to complete as many business orders as possible! Therefore, he wants to "weave" the reporter's memory.
Gu Zheng began to "weave" the reporter's memory. In the reporter's new memory, Qidian was not as magical as the outside world said. The owner was suspected of being mysterious. As for the owner's identity, he was indeed just a cultivator.
"Qi Ling, I want to lose in the reporter's memory. Is this possible?"
Gu Zheng, who was "weaving" the reporter's memory, stopped.
"No, you are the descendant of Tiexian. Unless you really lost to someone, how can you say you lost?" Qi Ling said.
"Rules are dead, but people are alive! What's more, the purpose of this mission is to test my cooking skills. I let myself lose in the reporter's memory. This has no effect on my cooking skills, but it will only increase the number of customers. Although Lord Tiexian has his own plan on how to increase the number of customers, planning is one thing, and execution is another! No one can be sure that there will be no variables that affect the plan at that time! If the failure of the mission is not due to my cooking skills, but to the number of customers, I don't think this is the result that Lord Tiexian wants to see, right?" Gu Zheng said earnestly.
The framework and some details of these tasks that Gu Zheng did were set by Tiexian, but too specific details were generally measured by the spirit of the instrument.
"Lord Tiexian didn't say that you can use this method to increase the number of customers." The spirit of the instrument hesitated.
"Master Tiexian didn't say it, but you have the right to weigh the details of some tasks, right? I am Master Tiexian's apprentice, but the owner of the strange store is not Master Tiexian's apprentice! And he lost only because of the reporter's "woven" memory and the reports caused by it. It has no real impact on the test of my cooking skills! After all, the ingredients provided by the guests are checked by the Taotie statue. Although the source of customers will increase, the quality of my tasks will not be reduced!" Gu Zheng said earnestly.
The spirit of the weapon is actually very smart, but it seems a bit stubborn about the rules set by Tiexian. If it weren't for this, Tiexian would not have set the task reward that allowed Gu Zheng to use the spirit of the weapon to vent his anger once.
Today is different from the past. The spirit of the weapon has changed a lot in the past few years of accompanying Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's earnest persuasion was not in vain. The spirit of the weapon bit and agreed to Gu Zheng's proposal.
"Promise you to do this, it feels like I've done something bad behind Master Tiexian's back!"
The spirit rolled her eyes at Gu Zheng, then laughed and said, "You lost in the reporter's memory, and the reports triggered by this will definitely bring you more customers! When those people are misled by the reports, they are full of confidence to defeat you, but in the end they leave with a depressed look on their faces. It's exciting to imagine!"
"Do you know what your smile looks like?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Like what?" The spirit asked with eyes wide open.
"Like a child who succeeded in a prank!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"You're asking for a fight!" The spirit gritted her teeth and raised her little fist.
The reporter left the strange store with one million and was satisfied.
In the reporter's memory, the owner of the strange store did not use the ingredients he prepared to make delicious food that satisfied him.
The crowd watching was a little excited. Although the reporter did not say anything to them, the extra password box in the reporter's hand still caused their crazy speculation.
Gu Zheng can "weave" memories for reporters, and can also change the content captured by the pinhole camera device, so the things the reporter brought to the media are very informative.
Seeing the reporter win one million and leave, some of the people who were watching outside the store couldn't help but knock on the door of the strange store.
The visitor brought ingredients, but unfortunately, the ingredients he brought were considered not difficult enough by the Taotie statue.
Faced with such a situation, the visitor did not think that this was an excuse that Gu Zheng could not handle like Han Zhe did before. He immediately left the strange store to prepare new ingredients.
"I said, the difficulty of this kind of ingredients must not be good!"
"This strange store is really strange! Is it really not for making money? It doesn't even accept ingredients that are not difficult enough!"
"Friend, when you go to prepare the ingredients, just follow the ingredients I just told you. I think those ingredients will definitely stump the other party!"
"Friend, let me discuss something with you? If you are afraid of losing, let's just team up! One hundred thousand yuan and each of us will contribute fifty thousand. If we lose, we will lose. What if we win and each of us can get half a million?"
The onlookers were talking about anything, but the guests were only thinking about finding ingredients and paid no attention to their enthusiasm.
Looking at the guest's leaving figure, the eyes of the man who originally wanted to partner up with him suddenly lit up, and he immediately shouted excitedly: "Look for four people to partner up, each person pays 25,000, what ingredients are we going to use? Negotiate and finally sign a contract to share one million equally!”
"I!"
"I!"
"I!"
It can be said that all the people watching are reluctant to give up if one person pays 100,000 yuan, but if one person only pays 25,000 yuan, there are still many people who are willing to give it a try! After all, if this is a bet, then this is a multiple of one to ten! And if everyone brainstorms, they will definitely come up with some ideas.
