On the first day Gu Zheng came back, no matter it was open at noon or in the evening, all the dishes he cooked every day were ordered by the first ten customers, which made the diners behind him very depressed.
Gu Zheng had foreseen this situation before, but at that time he couldn't use the water control technique perfectly, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter. This time when he returned to Jixiang Xiaozhu, Gu Zheng's water control technique had already been
To be able to perform it perfectly, he not only needs to add more dishes to the menu, but also needs to add some purchase limit rules.
Although some diners were not able to eat the dishes cooked by Gu Zheng, so they were a little depressed, but those diners who tasted the dishes cooked by Gu Zheng were all hooked! With the water control technique that can be used perfectly, even if these diners are just
Mortals, they can also taste it. The dishes made by Gu Zheng are more delicious than before.
At noon the next day, after Jixiang Xiaozhu opened, the first diners who poured into the restaurant naturally ordered the dishes cooked by Gu Zheng, but they found that the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu had changed and restrictions had been imposed on ordering.
If it were in another restaurant, the diners would definitely be furious if they paid money to eat and still couldn't enjoy the meal. However, this is a very fragrant restaurant, and it is famous for its strict rules, and the diners also
They didn't dare to make mistakes because of this. Although they couldn't order to their fullest, fortunately, new dishes came out. They ordered new dishes one by one with great interest, waiting to taste the new delicious food.
There is nothing to say about the taste of the new dishes. Although the price is more expensive, there are still people who are willing to spend money for it. For a while, Jixiang Xiaozhu became the focus of discussion among the residents of Qingfeng City.
Time passed very quickly, and five days passed unknowingly. Before lunch that day, the diners who were chatting outside the Jixiang Xiaozhu couldn't help but become quiet, and their eyes also looked at the people who were facing the restaurant.
Three people came to Jixiang Xiaozhu.
The three people walking towards Jixiang Xiaozhu were led by a middle-aged man who looked thin but very energetic. Behind him were two women, one of whom was a middle-aged beautiful woman and the other.
She is a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
"The city lord is here!"
"He actually came in person!"
“I don’t know what will happen this time!”
"Lord City Lord!"
"Hello, Lord City Lord!"
What was originally a whispered discussion turned into a greeting as the city lord and his family of three approached.
After the previous city lord of Qingfeng City was ordered to resign by Gu Zheng, the new city lord quickly took office, and after managing Qingfeng City for a period of time, his reputation was better than that of the previous city lord.
The current city lord of Qingfeng City is named Ma Beifeng. It is said that he is an honest and frugal man. Anyway, no one has seen him eating in any restaurant. Some wealthy businessmen in the city wanted to entertain him, but they were all rejected by him.
Refuse, including Bai Li.
Ma Beifeng's daughter is called Ma Xiaolian. She has not been in good health since she was a child and has a very poor appetite for food. Gu Zheng heard Bai Li say that Ma Beifeng's wife once brought Ma Xiaolian to Jixiang Xiaozhu. Although
The food at Jixiang Xiaozhu is much better than that at ordinary restaurants, but Ma Xiaolian still ate very little that time.
Bai Li is in business, so he is naturally sensitive to officials. The city lord's daughter came to his restaurant for dinner, and she was not very satisfied. This made Bai Li want to entertain the city lord and his family, as if Huang Ying and others used the best ingredients to prepare a table.
I came to take a look, but was rejected by the city lord. When Bai Li asked his relative, the city supervisor, to ask if he had any objections to Jixiang Xiaozhu, the city lord's reply was that his woman thought Jixiang Xiaozhu's dishes were delicious.
The food is no different from ordinary restaurants. Anyway, it is not delicious and unappetizing. However, the city lord also asked the city supervisor to tell Bai Li that he could do business with peace of mind. He knew about his daughter's problem and ate from that restaurant.
The dishes all taste almost the same, so he has no intention of complaining about Jixiang Xiaozhu, nor does he want to offend Jixiang Xiaozhu because of this matter.
The city lord's daughter had eaten at Jixiang Xiaozhu. This incident was still spread in Qingfeng City for a while, but it did not affect the reputation of Jixiang Xiaozhu. On the contrary, all the diners who had eaten at Jixiang Xiaozhu were also in Qingfeng City.
I'm sorry for Jixiang Xiaozhu, they know how delicious Jixiang Xiaozhu's food is.
When Gu Zheng first came back, he heard Bai Li talk about this matter, but he didn't take it to heart. He would not be like Bai Li who went to see the city lord specifically for this matter. For him,
The city lord is just a mortal.
"You guys should line up your queue. Although I, Ma Beifeng, am the city lord, now I am going out to eat. I am a diner just like you. Let's just follow the rules."
Facing the city residents who made way for him, Ma Beifeng waved his hand and took his wife and daughter to the end of the queue.
"The city lord came here in person. Naturally, he wants to try the dishes prepared by Chef Ti. If you really want to be at the end of the queue, I'm afraid your trip will be in vain this time." Someone said.
"why is that?"
Ma Beifeng is indeed a good official. He focuses all his attention on matters related to the management of the city. Although Jixiang Xiaozhu is very famous, in his eyes it is just a restaurant with good business. Regarding the matter of the restaurant, he
Naturally, there won't be too much attention. And the reason why he brought his wife and daughter here this time was because he couldn't stand the pressure from his wife.
Ma Beifeng knew that her daughter's problem was a disease, but she gave up after seeing many doctors but couldn't get any results. And after her daughter tried the dishes from Jixiang Xiaozhu, she didn't think they were very delicious.
After that, I lost interest in this place.
As Ma Beifeng's wife, Li Susu is also very frugal. Not to mention more expensive restaurants like Jixiang Xiaozhu, she rarely goes to ordinary restaurants. On weekdays, she personally cooks and takes care of her husband and family.
Daughter's diet.
Li Susu often visited the vegetable market on weekdays, so naturally she heard more rumors about Jixiang Xiaozhu, and was naturally very curious about Gu Zheng, the head chef. After Gu Zheng came back this time, the city owner once triggered a discussion
Li Susu couldn't bear the craze of Jixiang Xiaozhu. She always felt that the head chef of Jixiang Xiaozhu seemed to be helpful to her daughter's illness, so she persuaded her husband and daughter to come and eat together.
meal.
"It's all your fault for being so nagging. I told you the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu, but you don't even remember them."
Li Susu blamed Ma Beifeng in a low voice, and then pinched him secretly: "Everyone has given way, let's make an exception, otherwise this time will really be in vain."
Although Li Susu has never been to Jixiang Xiaozhu, she knows the situation of Jixiang Xiaozhu, so she is anxious.
"Quickly line up. It doesn't matter if you don't take advantage of this. I'll take you to the restaurant for dinner. My status is the same as theirs."
Staring at Li Susu seriously, Ma Beifeng's eyes softened again: "I don't want to take you out to eat easily. It doesn't matter if you can't taste the dishes made by the chef this time. Let's just do it again early tomorrow."
Hearing that Ma Beifeng was willing to come again, Li Susu said nothing, and the family lined up quietly.
The city lord brought his family to Jixiang Xiaozhu, and Gu Zheng naturally heard about it, but he didn't say anything about it.
After waiting for half an hour after the restaurant opened, it was finally Ma Beifeng's family's turn to enter Jixiang Xiaozhu. However, it was a pity that Gu Zheng's lunch meal had already been finished.
“Just order whatever you want to eat!”
Ma Beifeng asked Li Susu to order, and then said to the waiter: "Where is your head chef? I want to meet him."
The city lord spoke, and the waiter hurried to the kitchen to tell Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's dishes have been finished, but he is still in the kitchen guiding Huang Ying and others in cooking, which can be regarded as relatively leisurely. After the waiter brought the words, he followed the waiter to the front hall.
"Are you the head chef of Jixiang Xiaozhu?"
Although he had heard from his wife that the head chef of Jixiang Xiaozhu was a young man, Ma Beifeng was still surprised that Gu Zheng was so young.
"That's right."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He still had some favorable impressions of Ma Beifeng, the city lord. At least this person did not rely on his identity as the city lord to enter Jixiang Xiaozhu first. After arriving at Jixiang Xiaozhu, he did not rely on his identity to cause any damage.
Well-behaved things.
"It's amazing, the future generations are terrible!"
Ma Beifeng praised Gu Zheng, and then felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't believe in his wife's special feelings. It was embarrassing to say that a cook could cure a disease that many doctors were unable to cure.
Believe it!
It was embarrassing, but now that he was here, Ma Beifeng still spoke: "My little girl has some congenital problems, and everything she eats doesn't taste good. Chef, you are a great cook. I want to make a reservation for a meal with you first. Look.
Let’s see if we can make something delicious for my daughter to eat.”
"It's a congenital problem. Then I need to take your daughter's pulse first."
Gu Zhengdan's words made Ma Beifeng's eyes widen: "Do you know medical skills?"
"Know a little bit."
Hearing Gu Zheng's answer, Li Susu immediately became excited, and she felt more and more that that feeling was unmistakable.
"Daughter, please ask the head chef to take a look at it." Li Susu said.
Ma Xiaolian was also very obedient and showed no resistance to this. She stretched out her hand in front of Gu Zheng.
Said he was feeling the pulse, but Gu Zheng was actually probing Ma Xiaolian's body. When his spiritual thoughts entered Ma Xiaolian's body, he soon knew what Ma Xiaolian's problem was.
Originally, Gu Zheng thought that Ma Xiaolian might be anorexic, but in fact Ma Xiaolian was indeed anorexic, but this anorexia was not like the ordinary kind, it was caused by problems with taste buds.
Most people's taste buds can taste sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, and Ma Xiaolian's taste buds can also taste it. However, after the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy taste passes through her mouth, it will turn into a taste that easily makes her feel nauseated. Therefore, she doesn't feel good about anything she eats, and naturally she doesn't like to eat.
"Chef, are you sure about your daughter's illness?"
Seeing Gu Zheng's hand leave her daughter's wrist, Li Susu hurriedly spoke.
At this time, the originally bustling Jixiang Xiaozhu also became quiet. Everyone looked at Gu Zheng curiously. They were all curious that he could not only have good cooking skills, but also have medical skills. However, they didn't know that he knew a little bit about this medical skill.
I'm still relatively proficient in fur.
"I'm sure, but her illness won't be cured in a day or two, it will take three days."
"What?"
Gu Zheng's words made everyone in the Ma family widen their eyes, and even the diners beside them had the same reaction.
"Can the head chef really help my little girl cure this congenital disease?"
Ma Beifeng was still a little unsure. After all, this was a stubborn disease that many doctors looked down on. Moreover, Gu Zheng said that he could treat it well, but it only took three days. The short time alone made him unbelievable.
"There are many people here listening, do I need to lie?" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Sir, that's great!"
Li Susu had no doubts about Gu Zheng. After all, she came here according to the guidance of her feelings.
"Daughter, there is hope for your disease!"
Turning to hold her daughter's hand, Li Susu was so excited that she cried.
Ma Beifeng still couldn't believe it, but Gu Zheng's words made him unable to find any problem. He thought for a while and said, "How much money does this treatment cost?"
"The things used to treat your daughter's illness are not expensive. I'll charge you a total of thirty taels of silver for three days."
Gu Zheng knew that Ma Beifeng was honest, so the price he set was not expensive at all.
"Thirty taels?"
Ma Beifeng's eyes widened. Although he was honest and dedicated, his income source was only his monthly salary, and his daily life was relatively frugal. He had also thought that it would be expensive for Gu Zheng to treat his illness. After all, the dishes at Jixiang Xiaozhu were very expensive.
, he had also planned to spend his life savings, as long as Gu Zheng could cure his daughter's illness, he would not hesitate. However, Ma Beifeng never expected that Gu Zheng only needed thirty taels of silver.
This is incomparable to the remuneration those doctors ask for.
"That's right, just thirty taels."
Gu Zheng's confirmation convinced Ma Beifeng that he heard correctly, and he couldn't help feeling grateful. Regardless of whether Gu Zheng could cure his daughter's disease, at least Gu Zheng's heart was not evil.
"Thanks!"
A rare thank you came from Ma Beifeng's mouth.
"You are the official of Qingfeng City. If you really want to thank me, then be a good official and bring more benefits to the people of Qingfeng City!"
"good!"
“What Chef Tie said is great!”
"Pah, pah, pah!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he left. The diners in the hall applauded one after another, and the applause lasted for a long time.
"gentlemen!"
As soon as Gu Zheng returned to the kitchen, Lingzhu immediately screamed excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"I know all the previous things."
Lingzhu looked at Gu Zheng with admiration in her eyes, and she said again: "I think it makes sense for Sir to do this!"
"Does it make sense? They are just mortals!" Gu Zheng said deliberately.
"Mortal life is also life. Although in the eyes of us demon cultivators, mortal life is not valuable, I don't think so. I think it is very meaningful."
Lingzhu's voice paused, and then he said: "I don't have this ability, otherwise it would be good to travel to other people's homes to practice medicine!"
"good!"
Gu Zheng touched Lingzhu's hair. He had no intention of traveling around the world to practice medicine. This could not only temper his state of mind, but also be a way to increase his faith. It's just that little demons like Lingzhu didn't know it yet.
"Since you have this intention, if I want to travel around the world to practice medicine in the future, I will take you with me!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" Lingzhu nodded hurriedly.
Jixiang Xiaozhu is still open for business as usual, but Qingfeng City has caused a stir because of the ancient dispute over treating Ma Xiaolian.
"Chef Tie is amazing! Not only does the food taste delicious, but he can also treat people's illnesses?"
"Yes! If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would have doubted that it was true. After all, even the most famous Doctor Niu in Qingfeng City is helpless about Ma Xiaolian's illness!"
"Are you saying that Chef Ti is bragging? Doctor Niu is a miracle doctor. I really don't believe that a cook can cure diseases that he can't cure."
"What's so strange about this! Maybe Chu Ti has some secret recipe handed down from his ancestors to treat Ma Xiaolian's disease?"
"Secret recipe passed down from our ancestors? What a coincidence!"
"It doesn't matter if it's a coincidence or not. Anyway, Chef Tie didn't say it would take long. It's only three days. We will naturally know the result by then."
"You don't have to wait three days. I think Jixiang Xiaozhu will be more lively than ever tomorrow. There will definitely be many people looking through the window to see it."
"No, I don't want to look through the window. I must go early tomorrow and see it with my own eyes!"
"Going early is not necessarily a good idea. After all, the time you can stay in Jixiang Xiaozhu is limited. You should wait until the city lord brings his daughter there before queuing up. This way you can enter Jixiang Xiaozhu with the city lord and others."
The residents in the city were talking a lot, some were optimistic about the ancient war, and some were questioning it, but most people thought it was quite rare and were waiting to watch the excitement.
At noon the next day, something strange happened outside the door of Jixiang Xiaozhu. In the past, the queue waiting for the opening was already very long at this time, but today the waiting diners were standing in groups, and there was no queue at all.
They were all waiting for Ma Beifeng. They wanted to queue up with him so that they could enter Jixiang Xiaozhu at the same time and watch the fun! But who would have thought that Ma Beifeng, who had said yesterday that he would come early today, kept
They still haven't appeared yet.
"Look, the Lord of the City is here!"
"Oh my god, it's finally here!"
"It's finally here. If you don't come here, Jixiang Xiaozhu will open!"
"Yeah, I'm already hungry!"
Everyone was talking quietly, and they were all ready to rush to queue up next to Ma Beifeng at any time.
"Lord City Lord, you promised yesterday to come early today!"
"Yes! In order to enter the Jixiang Xiaozhu with you, we have been waiting here for more than an hour without queuing!"
Not everyone is afraid of officials, some people dare to talk to the city lord like this.
Ma Beifeng seemed serious, but in fact it was okay when he was no longer in the city lord's mansion. He cupped his fists to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I originally planned to come earlier, but there was something that needed to be dealt with temporarily, so I just came.
late."
"Just come, hurry up and line up, City Lord, Jixiang Xiaozhu will be opening soon!"
"Yes, Lord City Lord, hurry up and get in line!"
The person who just spoke urged me again.
Ma Beifeng knew that these people wanted to follow him to watch the excitement, so he did not give in and walked directly to the main entrance of Jixiang Xiaozhu.
The diners who had been waiting suddenly ran faster than rabbits. Some queued up in front of Ma Beifeng, and some queued up behind Ma Beifeng. But in the end, some were happy and some were angry. After all, Jixiang Xiaozhu put it all in one go
The number of diners is limited, so it is naturally impossible for so many of them to follow Ma Beifeng in at the same time.
