"That's right, it's called Jixiang Transformation." Gu Zheng said.
"This is the manifestation of Tao!"
Nan Chen was not a chef, but he was a cultivator of immortality, so he was deeply surprised.
"Yes, this is indeed the manifestation of Tao. Everything has Tao, and the same is true for diet." Gu Zheng said.
Nan Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Gu Zheng: "I think I understand now why a cultivator like fellow Taoist would hide in the kitchen of a restaurant!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and then asked Nan Chen: "The appearance of the dish is definitely different from what Taoist friend's grandma makes, but I think it can arouse Taoist friend's memory."
"That taste has become a mark. The manifestation of the Tao made by my fellow Taoist will definitely make the taste coincide with my memory mark."
Nan Chen's voice paused, and then he added: "However, I think the dish that best matches my mark is not the 'Steamed Dried Fish' with the manifestation of Tao, but the 'Mountain Bitter Melon Stewed Bacon'."
After all, Nan Chen is an immortal cultivator, and his five senses are very sharp. Although this is the first time he has seen Ji Xiang's transformation, judging from the scent, he concluded that the 'Mountain Bitter Melon Stewed Bacon', which is still covered with a lid, will not have Ji Xiang's appearance.
The situation of aromatic change occurs.
"It was my temporary itch to make the 'steamed dried fish' into a very fragrant form. I would like to apologize to you, Taoist friend, for this."
Of course Gu Zheng knew that Nanchen's grandmother couldn't transform into a very fragrant person, and he also knew that the extremely fragrant transformation would make Nan Chen feel like he was in trouble, but he was really itching for a while, and he wanted him to teach her.
Chefs, let’s see a symbol of the way of eating. In addition, there is another reason for the ancient dispute to make the 'steamed dried fish' extremely fragrant. This reason comes from speculation and has yet to be verified. His guess
It's accurate or not.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. There's no need to apologize. I just ordered, and you tried your best to fulfill my wishes. You've already done your best. I should say thank you to you." Nan Chen laughed.
Gu Zheng also smiled, and he said again: "Chatting with fellow Taoist, I feel that my desire to eat these two dishes is not just a simple obsession, but more of a desire for a breakthrough in realm.
Bar?"
When I heard the story of General Nan Chen before, Gu Zheng had such a feeling, so I said this now.
"Fellow Taoist, you must have heard it from the story I told you, right? To be honest, that's exactly what happened! I feel that the 'Mountain Bitter Melon Stewed Bacon' cooked by Taoist Friend this time may give me some relief.
Knot, an opportunity to break through the calm!" Nan Chen said.
"If Taoist friends are just obsessing over it and looking for the taste in their memory, then this 'Mountain Bitter Melon Stewed Bacon' will be very suitable. But if what you want more is to make a breakthrough, then this 'Steamed Dried Fish' is the best
It's appropriate." Gu Zheng said.
"Oh? Why do fellow Taoists say 'steamed dried fish' is the most suitable?" Nan Chen asked curiously.
"Because I have not only opened this Jixiang Xiaozhu. In the previous Jixiang Xiaozhu, I once met a diner who was in a similar situation to Taoist friends. He tasted a Jixiang Shaoxing dish I made.
After eating the dishes, I successfully solved the knot in my heart and broke through the original bottleneck."
Gu Zheng didn't lie. When he was completing the task of 'Master of Cooking', he did meet a diner who had a similar attitude to Nan Chen. This was also the first time he made 'steamed dried fish' into a very fragrant form.
Two reasons.
"No matter what, I would like to thank fellow Taoist Taoist Nan for his thoughtfulness!"
Nan Chen was also an understanding person, so he immediately saluted Gu Zheng and thanked him.
"Okay, originally according to the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu, the dishes you ordered must be eaten in Jixiang Xiaozhu. But since Taoist friends are in a special situation and are really likely to make a breakthrough, they should find a quiet environment.
It's better if you take them, I allow fellow Taoist to take these two dishes away!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Fellow Taoist. If Nan is lucky enough to have a breakthrough, I will thank you very much in the future!"
Nan Chen actually didn't have much hope that he could relieve his heart knot through food, so he didn't ask for food to be taken out of Jixiang Xiaozhu. What Gu Zheng said just now made him think that there was a real possibility of a breakthrough.
Gu Zheng was very considerate and allowed him to take the food out of Jixiang Xiaozhu, which really made him very grateful.
"Okay, I have to go and get busy, see you later!"
Gu Zheng cupped his fists at Nanchen. After returning the gift, Nanchen happily left Jixiang Xiaozhu with two dishes.
Although he cooks different dishes, Gu Zheng is used to listening to customers' comments, but since today is a special case, Gu Zheng gave up listening to Nanchen's comments on the two dishes.
Sometimes helping others is a good feeling, and it can also make people gain happiness. Humming a small tune, Gu Zheng entered the kitchen and began to prepare for a new round of busyness in Jixiang Xiaozhu.
The next day, Gu Zheng left Jixiang Xiaozhu and began to go out to buy ingredients.
Now that Gu Zheng is an immortal cultivator, and Bai Li and others already know it, Gu Zheng does not need to explain how long it takes to purchase ingredients. Therefore, this time Gu Zheng plans to go to a farther city.
In addition to wanting to collect more ingredients, he also wanted to collect some inner elixirs of spiritual beasts.
After leaving Jixiang Xiaozhu this time, Gu Zheng planned to go out for seven days. He also had a full schedule of what he had to do during these seven days.
small book booth
First, Gu Zheng had to go to two further cities to purchase ingredients, which would take him four days. Then he would go to a place called Blackwater Beach to collect some inner elixirs of spirit beasts, which would take him almost a day.
time, leaving the remaining time for the return journey.
Gu Zheng had been to the three places he was going to this time before, so he was relatively familiar with them.
The reality was no different from the plan. Gu Zheng spent four days collecting a lot of ingredients in the two cities, and then he flew towards the Blackwater Beach.
Blackwater Beach is not a river beach. To be precise, it is a market built near the Blackwater River. It only appears at specific times every month. Those who can enter are all immortal cultivators.
Gu Zheng has been to two markets like Heishuitan during this process of refining his heart in the world of mortals, and he has also harvested some good ingredients at the market. However, the previous harvest of ingredients was extremely difficult for Gu Zheng.
I have never used it in Xiang Xiaozhu, but since this time I have opened a Xianchu restaurant, if there are suitable ingredients, Gu Zheng will also make it appear on the menu of Jixiang Xiaozhu.
It was afternoon when Gu Zheng arrived near the Blackwater River, and the Blackwater Market opened in the evening. He just found a rock and sat cross-legged on it, while cultivators like him who were waiting for the Blackwater Market to open
, there are already seven or eight nearby.
Although there were people around and the environment was not very good, Gu Zheng still started practicing. Anyway, he had set up a ban nearby. As long as ordinary cultivators approached, he would be able to know immediately and there would be enough time for him to
Get out of the state of cultivation.
Now that Gu Zheng's true fire spirit has appeared, the memory that can make the 'Fire Dragon Technique' more powerful still exists. Gu Zheng wants to seize the time to practice his 'Fire Dragon Technique', which can also be regarded as a powerful method against the enemy.
.
When you concentrate on practicing, time always passes very quickly. Before you know it, there is only half an hour left before the Blackwater Market opens.
Gu Zheng ended his cultivation state, and he was not disturbed by anyone during this period.
At this time, there were many more immortal cultivators nearby, numbering over a hundred, and these people were also waiting for the Blackwater Market to open.
In the last half hour, the number of immortal cultivators increased crazily, and soon exceeded three hundred.
"Peng!"
There was a roar on the originally barren rocky beach, and at the same time as white smoke came out, an archway slowly rose, with four vigorous and simple characters - Blackwater Market - carved on it.
The immortal cultivators all walked towards the archway, and underneath the archway stood a white-haired immortal cultivator. He was the gatekeeper of the Blackwater Market.
“Opening a store or buying goods?”
When Gu Zheng walked under the archway, the white-haired immortal cultivator asked him.
"Buy something."
You need to pay to enter the Blackwater Market. If you are opening a shop, you need to pay the stall fee. If you are buying goods, you only need to pay the entrance fee immediately.
"You need to pay twenty-five yellow immortal coins to buy the goods." The white-haired immortal cultivator said.
Gu Zheng handed twenty-five yellow immortal coins to the white-haired immortal cultivator, and then entered the other side of the archway.
The Blackwater Market is actually built in a fairy formation space. When Gu Zheng walked through the archway, the sight in front of him alternated between light and dark. The environment was no longer like the Blackwater River Beach, but a road lined with shops.
Quaint streets.
This was Gu Zheng's second visit to Blackwater Market, so he was familiar with all this. He didn't go shopping immediately, but walked delicately towards the tallest building at the end of the street.
The Blackwater Market opens once a month, during which there will be an auction held in the tallest building. Now that the ancient war has passed, I just want to see the list of items for this auction. If there is anything on the list of items,
For what he wanted, he had to buy an auction room sign in advance so that he could have a spot when the auction officially started.
After looking at the list of items at the auction, Gu Zheng found that there were two items that he needed, so he spent two Blue Immortal coins to buy the right to use a room at the auction.
For ordinary cultivators, two Blue Immortal Coins are not a handful. After all, today’s environment is not as good as it was when the ancient war first entered the wilderness. Nowadays, food materials are basically not something that can be exchanged for immortal coins. Therefore, the immortal cultivators’
The source of fairy coins is also reduced. The room bought for two blue fairy coins is already the Tianzi No. 2 room at this auction.
Seeing that Gu Zheng bought the right to use Tianzi No. 2 House, the surrounding immortal cultivators paid more attention to him.
Gu Zheng, who had always been low-key, was helpless. He didn't want to buy a room that was too expensive, but all the cheap rooms had been sold, and he didn't want to sit in the hall like other immortal cultivators, so he had to spend money to buy a quiet room.
"I dare to ask my friend, what kind of treasure do you value this time?"
A thin Taoist priest wearing purple robes transmitted messages to Gu Zheng.
"Sorry, no comment."
Gu Zheng felt that the thin Taoist priest was rude and everyone was unfamiliar with him, so asking such a question was too much.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't be idle. I just want to have a good relationship with you, so I don't want to fight over you unnecessarily." Taoist friend said with a smile.
"Excuse me."
Gu Zheng didn't want to say anything more to the thin Taoist. In addition to the excessive demands he made before, another reason was that Gu Zheng had an intuition that this Taoist was not a good bird.
Sure enough, after Gu Zheng left the auction house, two more companions of the thin Taoist appeared. His two companions looked at the direction Gu Zheng left, and their eyes were not very friendly.
After leaving the auction house, Gu Zheng went shopping.
Although it is said to be a store, it is actually not like a store in the mortal world. There are many goods on the shelves. The things for sale here are all cultivation resources, and the quantity will naturally not be as large as the goods in a store in the mortal world. Moreover,
Immortal cultivators are not used to putting resources on shelves. They are more used to setting up stalls, just spreading them on whatever they want.
Looking at the more than a hundred items of goods spread out directly on the counter in the first store, Gu Zheng immediately discovered that eight of them were what he needed.
Among the eight things needed for the ancient battle, there is one water-attribute inner elixir, two wood-attribute inner elixirs, and the remaining five are medicinal materials that can be used as food. The lowest grade is medium, and the highest grade is high.
.
"Boss, what's the price of these things?"
Gu Zheng looked at the slightly fat boss.
"One water-attribute inner elixir and two blue fairy coins."
"Two wood attribute inner elixirs, three blue fairy coins."
"One Donghuayin, twenty Huangxian coins."
"A catalpa spirit flower and a blue fairy coin."
"One letter plant, twenty-two yellow immortal coins."
"One Qiming Fruit, thirty-eight Huangxian coins."
"One jade vine, thirty yellow immortal coins."
The boss quoted prices one by one for the goods Gu Zheng inquired about.
Today's prehistoric times are consistent with the ancient prehistoric times in terms of the conversion of immortal coins, that is, twenty-five red immortal coins are equal to one yellow immortal coin, and twenty-five yellow immortal coins are equal to one blue immortal coin.
.However, in terms of the price of items, today's prehistoric times are different from those of the ancient times. Like the ancient times, the price of the water attribute inner elixir from the stall owner needs to be doubled, and the price of the wood attribute inner elixir needs to be doubled.
It needs to be increased by half. This is because in today's prehistoric times, spiritual beasts in the general environment are more likely to become monsters, so the output of inner elixirs is relatively large. However, the prices of five medicinal materials are obviously higher than those in the prehistoric times in ancient times.
It is more expensive because the food cultivator has not yet appeared. Once there are more immortal chefs and the ingredients can increase the energy of the immortal cultivators, the price of medicinal materials will naturally not be so high.
"Pack up eight pieces of goods and take them away. I'll give you nine Blue Immortal coins. If you like it, I'll make the deal. If you don't, I'll go to the next one." Gu Zheng quoted.
"The total price of my eight pieces of goods is ten blue fairy coins, plus ten yellow fairy coins. I don't have much left. If you want it in good faith, I can give you the change. If not,
If you are willing, forget it." The boss said.
"Excuse me."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, turned around and left.
Gu Zheng understood that the price he gave was naturally a little low, but it was not too low. If the boss didn't want to have the trouble of being counter-offered one by one, it would be easier to package it all to the same person.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
Sure enough, when Gu Zheng was about to walk out of the store, the boss called Gu Zheng to stop.
"Forget it, even though Taoist fellow Taoist didn't give me much, I packed it up and took it away. The deal was made for nine Blue Immortal coins!" the boss said through gritted teeth.
After buying eight resources in the first store, Gu Zheng immediately went to the second store after completing the transaction.
There were already three customers in the second shop, and they were asking Gu Zheng about the purple-clothed Taoist and his two other companions in the auction house.
Seeing Gu Zheng enter the shop, Taoist Ziyi smiled and nodded at Gu Zheng, but his two companions looked at Gu Zheng a lot, with slightly unkind eyes.
The other party just looked at them unkindly and didn't say anything or do anything clearly. Gu Zheng didn't bother to give them any general knowledge, and immediately focused on the resources the boss was selling.
The goods sold in the second store are not as many as those sold in the first store, but the overall quality is higher than those in the first store.
It's a pity that although the overall quality of the resources in the second store is higher than that in the first store, none of them are useful to Gu Zheng. The more than thirty resources are all related to weapon refining and formations.
.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to leave, the shop owner spoke up: "Fellow Taoist, please stay, aren't there any resources here that you like? If there are any that you like, just ask, the price I'll give is definitely cheap!"
Gu Zheng frowned slightly, and the shopkeeper's voice sounded a little angry, as if he was angry with Ziyi Taoist and the others. Moreover, he did not choose to use sound transmission, but spoke directly, which further confirmed Gu Zheng's guess.
Gu Zheng does not need these resources, and he does not want to get involved in other people's anger because of his greed for gain, so he plans to refuse the boss.
Unfortunately, before Gu Zheng could speak, a Taoist in yellow among the three said: "Boy, I advise you to leave quickly and don't do anything uninteresting!"
"Threatening my customers in my store, I ask you to leave now, I don't want to do your business!" the boss said angrily.
"Shopkeeper, please calm down, my fellow Taoist is not very good at talking. Please stop talking to him." The Taoist in purple apologized on behalf of the Taoist in yellow.
"Originally I didn't plan to buy anything here, but your attitude made me very unhappy, which gave me the idea of buying something."
Gu Zheng smiled at the Taoist in yellow who still looked provocatively at him, then looked at the boss and said, "Shopkeeper, what kind of resources does this person value?"
"What he values is these three resources for setting up the formation. According to the market price, these three resources are already very cheap if I charge him five Blue Immortal Coins, but he wants three Blue Immortal Coins to buy them.
, I didn’t want to sell it to him, so he said some unpleasant things to make me angry! If fellow Taoist is interested in the three formation resources, I will sell them to you two Blue Immortal Coins!”
The boss didn't lie. He was the kind of person who could make little money, no money at all, or even lose money, but he had to make money smoothly.
Gu Zheng also understood that buying these three formation resources for two Blue Immortal coins was indeed very cheap, and could even be said to be a waste, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Although I can't use these resources, they are good for collection."
After completing the transaction, Gu Zheng smiled at the Taoist in yellow who was still looking evilly, and he smiled as provocatively as the Taoist in yellow had done before.
"Boy, I really belong to you!"
The Taoist in yellow gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the inability to fight in the Blackwater Market, he would have definitely taken action against Gu Zheng by now.
"It's true that I have one. You're lucky if you can't fight here. If you can fight here, then you'll be lucky!" Gu Zheng sneered.
"you,"
The Taoist in yellow wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the Taoist in purple on the side.
Seeing that Taoist Ziyi wanted to make peace with the old man, Gu Zheng didn't give him a chance and left the second shop.
