The Urban Successor of God of Gluttony Chapter 2316:
Coming to this world, Gu Zheng has become a person again, without the past, without the people around him.
He didn't fly, and he chose to walk. He just wanted to go to the mortal world to see if he could gain anything, whether it was in terms of mood or other.
The ancient world has seen many things along the way. The mortal world is not like the world of immortals. The pace of life here is relatively slow, and most people have to work hard for food and clothing. Although nothing special happened along the way, Gu Zheng's heart became more and more calm with the changes in the environment, and he really enjoyed the different experience brought about by changing circles.
Time flies quickly during the travel, and Gu Zheng, who didn't deliberately remember it, doesn't know how long it took until he wanted to stop at a place.
There is a city in front of him, with a relatively tall city wall and an imposing city gate, which is relatively rare in Gu Zheng's travels. He plans to stay in this relatively prosperous city for a while.
Many shops, bustling crowds, street vendors hawking, the prosperity in the world is like a revolving lantern in Gu Zheng's eyes.
Gu Zheng smelled the aroma of the food, which came from a restaurant called 'Piaoxiang'.
"Please come inside!"
Seeing a customer coming to the door, the little Er at the door of the store greeted him warmly.
Gu Zheng followed Xiao Er into the restaurant and came to the window seat on the second floor. It was a good place to sit on the bustling street.
At this time, the real meal time has not yet arrived. Although there are already diners in Piaoxiang Lou, there are not many.
Looking at Gu Zheng's eyes and looking at other diners, Xiao Er immediately said: "Objectively, our Piaoxiang Lou is the largest restaurant in Qingfeng City, and the chef used is also the most famous Master Li Ao in Qingfeng City, come here. Eating here is guaranteed to make you unforgettable!"
"Tell me, there's something delicious."
Faced with Gu Zheng's inquiry, Xiao Er handed the recipe of Piaoxiang Lou to Gu Zheng, and then introduced to Gu Zheng some of the dishes with the best reputation in the recipe.
After listening to Xiao Er's introduction, Gu Zheng ordered four dishes and one soup. After paying the money first, Xiao Er happily reported the dishes.
Gu Zheng is a little confused. It has been a long time since he experienced all this as a Tie Xian. He is not worried about the improvement of his cultivation, but he has always been unable to say anything about his diet. a feeling of.
Because of experiencing all this as a Tie Immortal, some memories that originally belonged to Gu Zheng became blurred, especially in the way of eating. And the way of eating is also a more important part of the Taoism mastered by Tie Xian! After all, Tie Xian can be considered to enter the Dao with food. However, when Gu Zheng used the identity of Tie Immortal to experience all this, almost everything became different. It was normal for different people to deal with the same thing and have two completely different results.
In Gu Zheng's view, he must improve his diet. No matter how high his level of diet is, he is not the same as he used to be. He is now on diet. It can be said that even the realm of 'Daoshengyi' has not been reached! The reason why he was able to cook delicious food before was just because of some memories and feelings. His actual situation was that even the standard 'Eye of Dao' of 'Dao Shengyi' had not been opened.
Because of this, Gu Zheng intends to put more effort into his diet, which is an integral part of Tie Xian's growth.
“Piaoxianglou.”
Gu Zheng murmured the name of this restaurant, and also moved to feel the way of eating here.
"Boom!"
There was a sudden noise in Gu Zheng's mind, it seemed that something in his sleep was touched, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart for a while, which made him understand that he seemed to have found the right way. Some memories that belonged to him in the way of eating became blurred, and some talents that originally belonged to Tie Xian seemed to be awakened.
Gu Zhengjing experienced his own differences, and the four dishes and one soup he ordered were served one after another.
Fried bamboo shoots, stewed vegetables, steamed grass carp, stewed spare ribs, and mountain delicacy soup.
Gu Zheng's point is Piaoxiang Lou's specialty dish, but in fact the so-called specialty dish uses very ordinary ingredients, and even the taste is very ordinary, but Gu Zheng is not surprised by this. After all, now is the era when the way of eating has not been greatly promoted by the immortals, and the cooking and utilization of ingredients are still in a very backward period. These dishes that are not popular in the eyes of Gu Zheng are already very outstanding in the eyes of ordinary people. delicious.
Four dishes and one soup, Gu Zheng just tasted it, and then he put down his chopsticks and waved Xiao Er to his side.
"Is the guest not satisfied with the taste of these dishes?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng's four dishes and one soup were almost untouched, Xiao Er hurriedly asked.
"I'm a little dissatisfied."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then said: "Call your shopkeeper!"
Listening to Gu Zheng's dissatisfaction with Cai, and asking him to call the shopkeeper, Xiao Er's face was pulled down.
"Guest officer, you shouldn't be a local, right? This Piaoxiang Building is not a place where you can make trouble casually!" Xiao Er said coldly.
"To open the largest restaurant in the city, Piaoxiang Lou is not an ordinary place. However, I'm not making trouble. You can call your shopkeeper first!"
Gu Zheng always has a smile on his face. Whether it is the second shopkeeper or the diners who put down their chopsticks and prepare to watch the fun, they are just ordinary people to him, and his patience with ordinary people depends on Much better than the immortal cultivator.
Said that he was not satisfied with the food, so he had to call the shopkeeper to come over, but there was always a smile on his face. Xiao Er was not sure what medicine was being sold in Gu Zheng's gourd. He gave Gu Zheng a suspicious look. Go downstairs immediately and ask the shopkeeper to come over.
Actually, there is no need for Xiao Er to invite them. Piaoxiang Lou is not too big. After Gu Zheng said that he was not satisfied with the dishes, the diners around him have all quieted down. He said that Xiao Er should invite the shopkeepers. The words have also been heard by the shopkeeper.
The pot-bellied, fifty-year-old shopkeeper walked upstairs, looked at Gu Zheng up and down, and then said, "Guest officer, my Piaoxiang Lou is the largest and best in Qingfeng City. Restaurant, you have seen how many guests there are here, you say you are not satisfied with the food, aren't you really making trouble?"
When Gu Zheng came over, it was not a real meal, and now the Piaoxianglou is already full of people. From this point alone, it can be seen that the cooking skills of the Piaoxianglou are really good, otherwise there would be no so many people. However, good cooking skills are only for ordinary people, not for Gu Zheng.
"Whether the food is good or not, it has nothing to do with a restaurant. As for the number of guests in Piaoxiang Lou, it can only be said that the guests have not eaten more delicious dishes, and there is no better place to go. Just a choice..."
"It seems that you are really here to find fault!"
Before the ancient quarrel was finished, the shopkeeper blew his beard and stared.
"That's right, Piaoxiang Lou is also a 20-year-old shop, and there is no better place in Qingfeng City than here!"
"Isn't it because you can't afford the money and want to eat for free?"
"Outlander, this Piaoxianglou is not a place for you to make trouble. If you really make trouble here, you will soon be jailed in the city for free food!"
"Listen to others first! I saw that they paid for the meal first, and the food on the table didn't move much. How can I say that they can't afford the money and want to eat it for nothing?"
There are all the voices that are not too big to watch the fun, except for a man in white under the other window, what he said is quite reasonable.
"Bai Li, what's the matter with you? If you talk more, you won't come to Piaoxiang Lou in the future!"
The shopkeeper glared at the man in white, as if he didn't like him very much.
"I heard someone say that my cooking is not delicious, right? I want to see who this person is!"
Almost as the shopkeeper's voice fell, another man's voice came from downstairs.
Everyone soon saw the angry man. He was holding a kitchen knife. He looked 70% similar to the shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou, and his age seemed to be about the same age, and he was from Piaoxianglou. The chef is the brother of the shopkeeper.
"I was the one who said the food was not delicious!" Gu Zheng looked at the chef and said.
"Why don't you think the food I cook is delicious?"
The head chef was originally angry and wanted to chop people, but Gu Zheng's look at him just now made his heart tremble, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head.
"In the four dishes and one soup, the spring bamboo shoots are too old to stir-fry, and the boxing dishes are not well stewed. These two dishes are the most unsuccessful! The other two dishes and one soup, I feel that you have achieved it with your understanding of the way of eating. Limit, even if I tell you you don't understand." Gu Zheng said.
When I heard Gu Zheng's evaluation of the spring bamboo shoots and fist dishes, the chef's face was still a little weird, because when he was cooking these two dishes, he didn't care for some reason, so he also knew that the spring bamboo shoots were fried. It's a little old, and the flavor of the boxing dishes is a little bit worse. However, Gu Zheng's evaluation of the other two dishes and one soup made his face very uncomfortable. After all, he was the best chef in Qingfeng City.
"Bullshit! You don't understand even if you tell me? Then aren't you arguing? If you don't understand, then you're talking nonsense!" the chef said angrily.
"Hehe."
Gu Zheng didn't say anything else, he shook his head and smiled and got up, ready to leave Piaoxianglou.
"Do you want to leave like this?"
The shopkeeper shouted angrily and stood in front of Gu Zheng, and the guys in Piaoxianglou immediately stood behind the shopkeeper.
"I want to leave, can you still stop me?"
Gu Zheng glanced at the shopkeeper's group, making them feel like pouring cold water on their heads.
"Since your Excellency told the chef that you don't understand some things even if you said the chef, then you should also be a chef and a person with good cooking skills, or else you use the same things to cook the same dishes, and then If you find someone to taste and compare, you will naturally understand whether you are finding fault or not.”
There was a pause between the words of the man in white. He originally wanted to say 'cook', but he felt that the word was inappropriate for Gu Zheng, so he changed his words. In his opinion, Gu Zheng was an unusual person.
"Originally, I did plan this way. I asked the second child to find the shopkeeper, that is, I wanted to find an errand, but who ever thought that Piaoxianglou shop had a big vision and insisted that I was looking for trouble, Even if I point out the shortcomings, I don't want to admit it, so I'm too lazy to stay here any longer."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, looking at the shopkeeper who was still standing still: "Get out of the way!"
Gu Zheng's voice was obviously not loud, but in the ears of the shopkeeper and the clerk, it was like a thunderbolt, and they couldn't help but avoid it.
Gu Zheng has already gone downstairs. The shopkeeper and the chef looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Gu Zheng was extraordinary and they experienced it personally. If they want to trouble Gu Zheng again, they are already timid.
The diners were talking in a low voice. They didn't know the difference between Gu Zheng's eyes and his voice. All they saw was that the Piaoxiang Lou was deflated.
"Checkout!"
The man in white hesitated, put the money on the table, and quickly went downstairs to chase Gu Zheng.
"Please stay here!"
The man in white saw Gu Zheng on the street corner.
"Huh?"
Gu Zheng stopped and looked at the man in white chasing after him.
"I'm at Baili, dare to ask Your Excellency Gao's name." The man in white saluted.
"Just call me Tie."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and then said, "Are you thinking about asking me to be a chef?"
“How did Brother Tie know?”
Bai Li's eyes widened. He had thought that Gu Zheng was extraordinary before, but now Gu Zheng has directly seen through his mind, which made him not surprised.
"As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and it makes sense that the shopkeeper of Piaoxiang Lou doesn't like you. In Piaoxiang Lou, you want to see my cooking skills, and now you are chasing after me, and there are people who often go in and out of the kitchen. The unique taste, your mind is already very obvious." Gu Zheng smiled.
"Brother Tie is indeed an expert, so I will explain it below."
Bai Li paused, then began to speak.
Bai Li is a native of Qingfeng City. His family has been in business for generations. In the industry, there is also a restaurant called "Kakumanlou", which has always been the best restaurant in Qingfeng City.
Piaoxianglou only opened in Qingfeng City ten years ago. Because the shopkeeper is a relative of the city owner, and the cooking skills of Piaoxianglou are indeed better than that of Kemanlou. Today's Kemanlou has There is a shortage of diners. The reason why Gu Zheng caught Bai Li's attention was because he mentioned the 'the way of eating' in Piaoxiang Lou. Although the meaning of 'the way of eating' is not difficult to understand, this is also the first time that Bai Li has heard it. When describing the cooking skills in this way, Gu Zheng suddenly felt an unusual and extremely professional feeling, and that's why he wanted to see Gu Zheng's cooking skills and let Gu Zheng go to Kemanlou to be the head chef.
"As long as Brother Tie is willing to come to my house to be the head chef, it's easy to talk about the salary." Bai Li flattered. .
"I don't care if I'm really good at cooking, just say the salary is easy to say, how much are you going to pay me?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The head chef before the full house is paid 70 taels per month. If Brother Tie wants to come, how about I give Brother Tie 100 taels? As for cooking skills, even if you don't have to try it, I believe in Brother Tie. There's no need to talk about your cooking skills!" Bai Li patted his chest and said.
"Why are you so confident?"
Bai Li's appearance made Gu Zheng couldn't help laughing.
"I feel that this thing is very important. If I feel that I can make a deal, I will rarely lose money!" Bai Li said to himself.
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"Is there a problem with the salary? If there is a problem with the salary, Brother Tie can bring it up." Bai Li said.
"No problem, I'm not doing this for money."
Gu Zheng snorted, and then said: "Although you believe in my cooking skills, tasting is a necessary step, and I have two other conditions!"
"Brother Tie, please tell me!" Bai Li hurriedly said.
"First, I will change the name of the guest house to 'Jixiang Xiaozhu'. Second, I need to participate in the customization of some things about the price of the dishes."
The name Jixiang Xiaozhu was the name used by Gu Zheng when he accepted the culinary test task when he was still not a teacher in the way of food and drink. Now that he wants to improve his diet and enter the kitchen again, the name has no meaning to him. As for participating in the customization of the price of dishes, this is also some arrogance of Gu Zheng. If you want to eat his dishes, the price is too low.
"No problem!"
Bai Li agreed without hesitation to Gu Zheng's proposal.
The Kemanlou is not too far from the Piaoxianglou. Both restaurants are located in the most prosperous areas in Qingfeng City. However, compared with the overcrowding of Piaoxiang Lou, the number of diners in the full building appears to be much less.
When Bai Li brought Gu Zheng into the kitchen, the head chef was chatting with the chef. Gu Zheng was a little surprised that the head chef who was full of people was actually a cook.
The cook's name is Huang Ying, she is Bai Li's cousin. She is in her 40s. Although she looks like a milf, when Bai Li said that Gu Zheng was the new head chef of the guest house , one of her face was pulled down.
"Okay, I want to try it anyway, but I want to see what you can do, kid!"
Huang Ying looked at Gu Zheng with provocative eyes, and several chefs naturally stood on Huang Ying's side, and their eyes were not very kind.
"Auntie!"
Bai Li shouted with a stern face, but Huang Ying's expression was somewhat restrained.
"What are you doing? Help the chef!"
Gu Zheng was already looking for ingredients, and several chefs who were standing stupidly were reprimanded by Bai Li.
"It's fine, I'm going to try it out today, they can't help much, I'll just do it myself!"
Gu Zheng is trying to eat the four dishes and one soup that he ordered in Piaoxiang Lou, and the ingredients for these four dishes and one soup are also available in the kitchen of the full house, but they are just storing this one. Can't meet Gu Zheng's requirements, so he has to deal with it himself.
"Don't put meat and vegetables together in the future." Gu Zheng said.
"It's nothing to put it together, anyway, it has to be rinsed and washed when cooking." A chef named Li Tong said disdainfully.
"There are grades of ingredients, and their grades are divided into: poisonous, garbage, low, inferior, ordinary, medium, excellent, high ~IndoMTL.com~ Gu Zheng did not say immortals and natural treasures , these two grades of ingredients are unlikely to be touched by mortal chefs.
"For example, these pork ribs, the quality of its own ingredients is inferior, but because you put it in unprocessed mountain treasures, its meat quality has been contaminated, so it will be inferior Quality ingredients."
Gu Zheng threw the dusty pork ribs into a basin of clean water, and the splashing water in the basin also woke up the dazed chefs, who had never heard of it before. I've heard of food grades like this.
"It's a real thing, isn't it just a little dirty? Wash it and it's clean!" Li Tong pouted.
"Yes! I still don't believe that there is any difference in the cooking taste of a pork chop that is not placed with Shanzhen, compared to a pork chop that is placed with Shanzhen!" Huang Ying laughed.
