Gu Zheng nodded silently. The Hangzhou Food Competition on the 20th is still fifteen days away. If we start preparing now, we have plenty of time. Since there is an event for them to be together, Gu Zheng doesn’t want to bother everyone.
It's too much trouble for one person, so it's better to do it all at once.
Even if they don't gather together for this competition in Hangcheng, it doesn't matter if one or two are missing. If one or two are missing, then we can learn about their schedule and participate in the activities they participate in.
Worst of all, there is the Music and Food Festival in Shanghai on the 30th, which is also a group event, which is equivalent to giving Gu Zheng a double insurance.
"That's it!"
Gu Zheng quickly turned on his computer. Registration was still open for the Hangzhou Food Competition, but it was the preliminary round on the 15th, and the finals on the 20th. Mr. Wu and Mr. Gao were participating in the finals.
As a result, Gu Zheng's preparation time has to be shortened by five days. If he wants to participate in the finals, he must participate in the preliminary rounds. Without the preliminary rounds, there is no finals. Unless he asks Chang Le for help, Gu Zheng believes that Chang Le's energy can send him directly.
Entering the finals is just something Gu Zheng doesn’t like to do.
Signing up for the competition himself, Gu Zheng has absolute confidence in his cooking skills. If he participates in the competition, he will surely enter the finals.
This food competition accepts online registration. Gu Zheng quickly filled out the registration form. After the registration was successful, Gu Zheng specifically checked the forum linked to the web page. It was very lively and there were quite a lot of registrations.
There are almost eight major cuisines, but the most popular is Hangzhou cuisine, which is their home court.
Many people were still arguing there, saying that so-and-so would definitely win, which famous chef so-and-so was, and how delicious the food made by so-and-so was. Gu Zheng looked at it for a while and then turned off the computer. He was not interested in any of this.
This time was different from last time. Gu Zheng didn't want to win, he just wanted to complete his own test.
As long as he can make the ten judges eat the delicious food he made and make the ten judges think it is the most delicious pasta they have ever eaten, this is a victory for him.
After all, Gu Zheng is still a lazy person. If he can make one portion, he will never make two portions. The food competition is just a platform for him to gather the ten judges at one time and complete the test.
Excluding the time for the preliminary round, Gu Zheng still has ten days to prepare, nine days to be exact. The first task during these nine days is to find another ordinary-level high-grade raw material so that he can fuse rice marrow.
After fusing rice marrow, one of his Xianyuan Pills can be treated as three.
"Mr. Chang, I want to ask you for a favor!"
Gu Zheng took out his cell phone and called Chang Le. He didn't need to contact Chang Le to participate in the food competition, but he really needed his help in finding raw materials. Chang Le's information channels were much better than his.
"Master Gu, you are too polite. If you have any questions, just give me your instructions!"
Chang Le was surprised by Gu Zheng's call, but at the same time he was also a little surprised. Gu Zheng actually took the initiative to ask him for help. This was great. It was tantamount to allowing him to return a favor.
"I want to know where there are high-end raw materials like ginseng and cornflower. I urgently need one now!"
Gu Zheng was not polite. He was in urgent need now. Although he had nine days, he still had to fuse the rice marrow. After the fusion was successful, he had to upgrade two ingredients. The sooner he could find the raw materials, the better.
"Do you still need it? I asked last time. In addition to this ginseng from the Northeast, someone in Sichuan Province seems to have a very old collection of Polygonum multiflorum. Last time, I planned to fly to Sichuan Province to buy this ginseng immediately because the ginseng from the Northeast was not good.
Polygonum multiflorum, and there is also a Tai Sui collected by someone in the Central Plains Mountains, which is quite big!"
Chang Le said quickly. He did inquire about several possible raw materials last time. Ginseng from the Northeast, Polygonum multiflorum from Sichuan Province, and Tai Sui from the Central Plains were all the results of his inquiries.
Ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Tai Sui were the order in which he planned to buy them. In the end, ginseng was enough, and he didn't pay attention to the other two.
"Thank you, Mr. Chang. Can you give me the address of Polygonum multiflorum in Sichuan Province?"
Both Polygonum multiflorum and Tai Sui are good. They are purely wild and old enough. As long as they reach the ordinary level, they can definitely be used. The same goes for Tai Sui. Tai Sui is neither an animal nor a plant, but it has high medicinal value. Tai Sui cannot be used for the last time.
Diet therapy, but integrating rice marrow is possible.
This time I asked Chang Le correctly. He indeed had channels in this regard.
"Master Gu, do you need it urgently or not? If you need it urgently, I will personally go to Sichuan Province to buy Polygonum multiflorum for you. If you are not in a hurry, just wait a few days, five days at most, and Polygonum multiflorum can be delivered to you.
Come, Tai Sui can collect it for you within ten days!"
Chang Le said softly, just as they were trying to find a way to remunerate Gu Zheng, they didn't ask for money or equity. In the end, they could only ask Chang Lian to promote Gu Zheng's friend Du Yang. Although this was also a reward, there was no reward after all.
Go to ancient times and fight for yourself.
Now that Gu Zheng took the initiative to make the request, Chang Le immediately took over the matter.
"No, I can just collect it myself. You just need to give me your address and contact information!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. He just called to ask where he could buy it. He didn't think about asking Chang Le to buy it for him. Although Gu Zheng was lazy, he was not a person who repaid kindness. He had taken over Chang Le before this.
Le gave me the check and equity.
"Master Gu, as far as I know, the person who owns Polygonum multiflorum is not short of money. Another thing is that his identity is not simple. It is not something that anyone can see. In addition, Polygonum multiflorum is not cheap. It is said that the Polygonum multiflorum in his hand is not cheap.
It has been growing for more than 600 years. The price of such a treasure is at least one million. If I hadn't been familiar with the people in the Northeast last time, I would have gone to Sichuan Province first!"
Chang Le said again that he knew the situation of Gu Zheng. The Jade Fuling in Gu Zheng's hands was very valuable, but Gu Zheng obviously had no intention of selling it. If he didn't sell the Jade Fuling, he really wouldn't have much money on hand.
.
It's possible to get hundreds of thousands, but it's a bit difficult to get millions.
Of course, Gu Zheng's father had the money, but based on Chang Le's understanding of Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng would not open his mouth and ask his father for money.
"That's it, then I'll trouble Mr. Chang, but I'll find a way to pay you back how much it costs!"
Gu Zheng hesitated for a while and finally agreed. He was not a pedantic person. Since Chang Le said that this person was not easy to meet, he might not be able to meet him if he went.
After what happened to Qiao Fei last time, Gu Zheng knew that it was much more convenient for Chang Le and others to do things than him, and he really didn't have one million now, let alone one million, not even one hundred thousand. He only had the last sale.
There was more than 70,000 yuan left over from the omelette.
"Forget the money, it'll be worth the meal you cooked for my grandpa!"
Chang Le laughed loudly and said, Gu Zheng just agreed. Gu Zheng cured Mr. Liang's illness. This was a great favor to their family. If a big favor is overturned for a long time, it will become an enemy. It will allow him to help Gu Zheng more.
Doing something is actually a way of repaying a favor.
Gu Zheng is not being pretentious. With Chang Le's help, this matter is indeed much easier than doing it by himself. If he can fuse the rice marrow earlier, one of his Xianyuan Pills can be used as three. Gu Zheng can tell the difference clearly.
Regardless of the severity, the money spent on buying Polygonum multiflorum can be returned to Chang Le later on.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Gu Zheng's phone rang. When he saw the caller's number, Gu Zheng looked a little strange.
In the end, Gu Zheng pressed the answer button. The call was from Mr. Hong.
"Gu boy, you are not kind. You didn't tell me before that your chicken blood soup is only made for seven days!"
As soon as the call was connected, Mr. Hong's loud voice came over. Gu Zheng did not tell him that the dietary therapy was only for seven days, nor did he say anything. Mr. Hong did not ask, and the Liang family would not take the initiative.
carry.
As a result, Mr. Hong was going to get some food today, but he found that there were only cleaning staff there. After contacting Mr. Liang, he immediately called Gu Zheng.
"Food therapy only takes seven days. At the end of the seven days, Mr. Liang's health will be better, and I will no longer be there!"
Gu Zheng explained that Mr. Liang's health has indeed recovered. Mr. Liang is not in a nursing home now, but has gone to the hospital, which is giving him a comprehensive examination.
It is still under inspection at this moment, but some of the inspection results have come out.
These results are all normal. If you only look at the data, you can’t say that you are healthy. Some middle-aged people cannot compare to Mr. Liang’s physical data.
Only some of the test results have convinced the Liang family that Mr. Liang's health is really getting better and his disease has been completely cured.
"I don't care, Lao Liang doesn't need it anymore. I do. Come and do it for me!" Mr. Hong immediately replied.
"Mr. Hong, I don't have time now. I still have something to do. Let's do it another day. I'll do it for you another day when I have the opportunity!"
Gu Zheng spoke awkwardly into the phone, and quickly hung up the phone without giving Mr. Hong time to object. This old man was different from Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang was very kind and never used his status to pressure others. This happened to be
On the contrary, sometimes you still rely on your old skills to show off your skills.
Mr. Hong can do things like grabbing food with the younger members of the Liang family, but there is nothing he can't do. Gu Zheng has no choice but to use thirty-six strategies, and walking is the best strategy.
"Boy, did you think you could run away after hanging up the phone?"
Mr. Hong, who was in the nursing home, looked at his cell phone, chuckled, and suddenly turned around and cursed: "I can't control my own son. I really don't know what you're going to do for food. Pack your things and go back to the capital. That boy Hong Bin must give it to me."
Come back, or I’ll break his legs if you don’t come back!”
The man following Mr. Hong had a trace of bitterness on his face. He was not young, and his son had grown up, but he was still scolded like a child in front of his father, and there was nothing he could do about it.
