This is a fake Michelin restaurant, but Gu Zheng did not point it out.
First of all, this was Du Yang's intention. Regardless of whether it was a fake or not, Du Yang didn't know. He treated everyone as a real Michelin restaurant to treat everyone to dinner. Explaining it at this time would only embarrass him.
Secondly, Gu Zheng doesn’t care much about Michelin from time to time. Michelin is just a standard. It does not mean that all Michelin restaurants are the best. Many restaurants that are not Michelin-starred still taste good.
Just like his Guji Chicken Blood Soup, it has not been rated as a star, but the taste is still very attractive.
For Gu Zheng, no matter where they go to eat, taste is the first priority. Since they are eating, they must eat comfortably and happily. As long as the food they cook can satisfy themselves, it doesn't matter whether it is a real Michelin or not.
.
Although this is not the core area of the Bund, it is a prosperous commercial area after all. It is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is valuable. If you can open a restaurant here, the taste will generally not be too bad.
Of course, the prices here will not be low either.
"Guys, please come over here!"
A waiter came, served with a smile, and his attitude was okay. In any case, they were pretending to be a Michelin restaurant. Michelin is not only about good taste, but also service, environment, and even clothing and decoration. Many details are important.
The dining table is very clean and has a marble top, which looks solemn, elegant and classy.
Du Yang was very satisfied with this place, but from the looks of it, it was his first time here. The waiter brought the menu, and after reading the menu, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. The dishes here are indeed not cheap, and they basically start in three digits.
"Come on, eat whatever you like!"
Du Yang gave the menu to Wang Tao and the others. The dishes on it were really expensive. There were very few double-digit dishes, and the double-digit prices were not low. Most of them were vegetarian.
You get what you pay for. Since the food here is so expensive, the taste must not be bad. Wang Tao and Zhao Yongkui both ordered a little casually. Gu Zheng also ordered one. Du Yang also ordered a dish and returned the menu.
Gave it to the waiter.
They only ordered six dishes in total, and these six dishes cost almost a thousand. These were ordinary dishes. If they had ordered expensive and good dishes, they would have paid more than two thousand.
The quality of the restaurant is indeed not low, but the consumption is not low either. Du Yang secretly thought that he could only come to this kind of place occasionally, and he really wouldn't be able to come often in the future.
After being promoted, Du Yang's salary also increased, several times higher than before. Now the monthly salary plus bonus is almost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. It is precisely because of this that Wang Tao said that he has entered the golden-collar class. Several of them are now
In other words, Gu Zheng was better than him, and Wang Tao and Zhao Yongkui couldn't compare to him.
Even with a salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, I cannot be a regular visitor here. It is too expensive and I cannot devote my monthly salary to them.
"Would you like some wine?"
The price of the food was not bad and Du Yang could accept it. He originally planned to pay two to three thousand for a treat this time. Although he didn't know why he was re-employed, he still had a vague guess.
When their boss promoted him, he mentioned Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng's partner was named Chang Feng. Although Gu Zheng had never been mentioned before, he was not stupid and had already associated these things together, so this time he was treated to a treat.
Thank you Gu Zheng for your meaning.
Since it's a thank you, I can't be stingy.
"Okay, have some!"
Wang Tao was the first to agree. It was boring to have food but no wine. These people were all old men, and they usually drank. If they didn't drink now, they would probably have to go to the bar to drink in a while, and they would probably drink more.
Zhao Yongkui also agreed. Gu Zheng had no objection, and it was fine to have a drink. It had been a long time since the two of them had been together, so it was fine.
"Get a nice bottle of wine!"
After Du Yang looked at the drink list, he said something to the waiter, and the waiter left quickly. After a while, two dishes were served, and the wine was also brought.
Du Yang looked at their drink list before. The drinks here are not cheap, but they are not particularly expensive either. Feitian Moutai costs 1,880 a bottle, which is several hundred more expensive than outside. But considering the location, this price
It's not that it's unacceptable.
There was also Wuliangye, which was cheaper than Feitian Moutai. Du Yang was too embarrassed to order Wuliangye directly, so he casually said he wanted a better wine. But when the wine was served, Du Yang was dumbfounded.
What the waiter brought was not Feitian Moutai, nor Wuliangye, but a bottle of foreign wine, in a yellow bottle, very noble-looking.
"This is Louis XIII. Do you want to open it for you?"
Louis XIII, Du Yang swallowed, wishing to push the waiter to the ground and beat him up. He only looked at the other party's liquor list and did not pay attention to their other wine lists. He did not expect that the other party actually ordered such a bottle.
liquor.
A bottle of wine like this is not cheap, it is much more expensive than their food.
"Forget it, give us beer instead, we're not used to drinking foreign wine!"
Gu Zheng said something first. He noticed Du Yang's expression, and he also knew the price of Louis XIII. If Du Yang were to treat him to such a wine, he would probably feel distressed for a long time after he returned.
Du Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Zheng gratefully. The waiter looked at Gu Zheng and then at Du Yang. The waiter also understood who was the host and the guest this time. Do you want to change the wine?
You have to listen to your master.
"Yes, yes, Gu Zheng is right, let's drink beer!"
Wang Tao also said something, and the same was true for Zhao Yongkui. They were very curious about Louis XIII wine, but they also understood that such wine was expensive. They were just eating today. It was a high-end restaurant, and the food was already very good. Drinking like this
Drinking wine is tantamount to robbing people.
They and Du Yang are all good friends and there is no way they can do such a thing.
"Forget it, give us beer instead!"
Du Yang then said, no matter how expensive the beer is, it is much cheaper than this. Besides, they can control how much beer they want to drink. The beer here is expensive, so they can drink less and go to the bar to continue later.
"If you can't afford the drink, don't make a fool of yourself, and buy good wine!"
The waiter curled his lips and said in a very low voice. The waiters all received commissions on drinks. After selling a bottle of wine, they could get a lot of money. Now that they were rejected, they felt very unhappy, so they complained.
Finished sentence.
In a real Michelin restaurant, this kind of thing would never happen. Unfortunately, this is a fake place. Although the attitude of the waiters is okay, when there is a problem, their true nature is exposed.
"Who do you think can't afford to drink?"
Du Yang was slightly startled, and immediately called out. Although the waiter's voice was low, two people still heard him, one was Du Yang and the other was Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng could hear it because of his enhanced hearing, and Du Yang could hear it because he was closest to the waiter. Although he didn't hear clearly, he still understood the general meaning, especially the words "can't afford to drink".
Hear it very clearly.
"No, I didn't tell anyone!"
The waiter curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and was about to leave with the wine. Du Yang's face turned red with anger. Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. They had been together for several years and were all good buddies. Du Yang
He knew his temper very well. Du Yang was usually very carefree, and he would be the most unprovoked.
The attitude of the waiter is even more serious than aggressive tactics.
"Come back and open it!"
Sure enough, Du Yang stopped the waiter and asked him to open the wine. The waiter was stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled, opened the wine and put it on the table.
"Du Yang, actually you don't have to!"
Gu Zheng sighed. This bottle of wine usually costs 20,000 yuan. I don't know how much it costs here. Du Yang may not be able to afford this bottle of wine with one month's salary. If he is impulsive, he will definitely regret it in the end.
"It's not necessary. A bottle of wine is fine for a guy who looks down on others. It just so happens that none of you have ever drunk such a wine. I'll treat you to a drink today!"
Du Yang stretched his neck and spoke in a loud voice, deliberately telling the waiter to hear.
Gu Zheng shook his head again. No matter what Du Yang said, he had already bought the wine. The waiter had no loss, and the restaurant had no loss either. They had already earned all the money they deserved, and not a penny would be lost.
Du Yang must find a way to change his temper, otherwise he will definitely suffer big losses in the future.
This time it was just wine, who knows what it will be next time.
The waiter really ignored what Du Yang said and even brought ice cubes with a smile. The commission for this bottle of wine was much higher than his salary. Of course he was happy and satisfied.
The taste of the wine was not as good as expected. Gu Zheng also drank some. The quality of the wine was okay. It was real brandy, but I don’t know how many years it had been aged. Gu Zheng didn’t have a deep understanding of the culture of foreign wine. After all, he had been exposed to it.
Although he only has a small amount of alcohol, he can drink authentic brandy, which is much better than many people.
People like Du Yang and Wang Tao only know that this is the smell of alcohol and cannot taste anything else.
"Pay the bill!"
After drinking and eating, Du Yang waved a glass of water and took out his credit card. He knew he was going to have a lot of bleeding today, but he admitted it. Anyway, he was thanking Gu Zheng. Of course, the higher the level of gratitude, the better.
"Hello, your total consumption is 100,930. Please tell me whether you pay by credit card or cash. We also support online transfers!"
The waiter came over with the purchase order and said with a smile.
"How much?" Du Yang was suddenly stunned and asked again.
"One hundred and nine hundred and three, this is your bill!"
The waiter repeated it again. Du Yang had heard it before, but thought he had heard it wrong. There were six dishes in total and a bottle of wine. Although the wine was better, it couldn't cost more than 100,000.
After getting the purchase order, Du Yang was stunned again.
"Louis XIII, 1997, ninety-nine thousand eight!"
A bottle of wine costs almost 100,000 yuan, and the food they eat is not even 1,000 yuan, only 950 yuan.
In the consumption list, wine is definitely the largest item.
Gu Zheng was also stunned. He took the consumption form from Du Yang's hand, his brows quickly condensed, and then relaxed again.
Wang Tao and Zhao Yongkui also hurriedly looked at the bill, which was 99,800. It clearly stated that this wine was indeed expensive, but it was so expensive that they had never expected it.
Ninety-nine thousand and eighty, Du Yang felt full of regret. He would have never ordered it if he knew this wine was so expensive. It was true that his salary had been increased, but it had just been increased and he only received one month's additional salary.
, his current total savings is less than 50,000, which is not enough to pay for this bottle of wine.
Even if he had enough, he was not willing to spend all his money to pay for a bottle of wine. He really regretted it.
"Are you sure this is Louis XIII in 1997?"
Gu Zheng suddenly asked, an ordinary bottle of Louis XIII only costs 20,000 yuan a bottle, but if you put it here, 30,000 yuan is a lot. Generally, it is sold in restaurants for more than 20,000 yuan, except for special requests.
This bottle of Louis XIII costs 99,800. The reason is that it is an old wine. The 1997 Louis XIII has been collected for almost 20 years.
"Of course, if it weren't for this, why would it be so expensive?"
The waiter nodded immediately, and a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Zheng's face. He picked up the empty wine bottle, took a photo, and put the bill into his pocket.
"Du Yang, you've made a fortune. If you don't have enough money, I'll help you get married!" Gu Zheng said to Du Yang with a smile.
"What's the point of getting rich? Losing money is almost the same. You still have the guts to laugh at me!"
Du Yang's heart was bleeding. With his credit card and debit card, he could barely cover 100,000 yuan. He still had a few hundred thousand fractions left. He did have some, but as a result, he was really penniless and would not be able to spend the rest of his life.
know what to do.
"Don't worry, trust me, you will definitely make a fortune. Just swipe your card and give me the invoice!"
Gu Zheng directly took out his bank card and asked the waiter to swipe it. The waiter gave him a puzzled look and quickly swiped the card. After swiping the card, the waiter smiled again. This time the business
Once completed, he will definitely get his commission.
"Mr. Gao, I am Gu Zheng. I am sorry to trouble you so late. There is a fake Michelin restaurant suspected of consumer fraud. I would like to ask someone from the Food Association to help deal with it. Yes, I am now...!"
When the waiter went to issue the invoice, Gu Zheng took out his mobile phone and made a call directly. Du Yang and Wang Tao all looked confused.
"Gu Zheng, I have 50,000 yuan in my card. I will transfer it to you later. The rest will be paid back to you after I have paid my salary. This is my treat, and I can't make you pay!"
When Gu Zheng hung up the phone, Du Yang said to Gu Zheng again that he did only have 50,000 yuan in his card, and he could use two credit cards to charge 50,000 yuan, but Gu Zheng had already swiped the card, and he couldn't do it again, and he couldn't use it anymore.
If the local government wanted to cash out, they could only give Gu Zheng 50,000 in cash first.
"Okay, this meal is yours, but you have to treat us well again, who will make you rich this time!"
Gu Zheng laughed. Seeing Gu Zheng talk about getting rich, Du Yang's face suddenly dropped, and his eye circles were red. Gu Zheng was still teasing him, but he didn't know that he was heartbroken now. One hundred thousand, how could he do it?
He had done a lot of things, but he failed in one meal.
If he had known in advance that the wine was so expensive, he would never have asked for it.
"Gu Zheng, what is the consumer fraud you just mentioned?"
Zhao Yongkui was more attentive and asked hurriedly. Gu Zheng smiled slightly. The waiter issued an invoice. Gu Zheng looked at the invoice and accepted it with satisfaction.
"They say this is Louis XIII in 1997, but I know this is not the case at all. The hotel is committing fraud. We will refund one and compensate three times. All the money will be returned to us and we will be compensated three times. This meal cost RMB 100,000.
Compensation of 300,000 yuan, what do you mean if Du Yang doesn't get rich?"
With a smile on his face, Du Yang explained directly, regardless of whether the waiter was around or not.
"You said, this is not real, it is fake wine?"
Du Yang was startled and shouted hurriedly. If it was fake wine, then he would be saved. As for the triple compensation mentioned by Gu Zheng, he didn't care much, as long as he could get his money back.
Even though he didn't pay the money, if he returns it to Gu Zheng, it still belongs to him.
"It's not fake wine, but it's definitely not the 1997 Louis XIII. Don't worry about that!"
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. The wine was real. If the fake Gu Zheng had drunk it before, it would have been impossible for them to drink it all. The wine was real, but it couldn't be guaranteed if it wasn't Louis XIII. As for Louis XIII in 1997
, that is even more impossible.
Generally speaking, the fake Louis XIII of 1997 cannot be escaped. Since it is fake, it is consumer fraud. Gu Zheng is a person in the food industry and knows very well how to deal with this kind of thing.
For consumption fraud, if the amount is less than 500, it will be calculated as 500. If it exceeds 500, the compensation will be three times the actual amount. They spent more than 100,000, and the compensation will of course be more than 300,000.
So Du Yang always thought that he was the one to treat this meal. Gu Zheng didn't object. He just helped to pay in advance. However, his money was not easy to get. Once he took it, he had to return it, and even more.
"A fake Louis XIII will do, too. Did you just say that they would pay three times the compensation?"
Du Yang finally reacted now. No wonder Gu Zheng kept saying that he was going to get rich. It turned out to be this reason. If the restaurant really wanted to compensate him three times, then he would really have made a big fortune and retired.
After the money was paid, the compensation was tripled. Their meal was 100,000 yuan, and the compensation was 300,000 yuan, which equaled a net profit of 300,000 yuan for him. He had worked for so long to save 50,000 yuan, which was all his savings in one go.
six times.
"That's right!"
Gu Zheng nodded with a smile. He said he would pay triple compensation for restaurant fraud. This was not what Gu Zheng said. This law really existed, and Gu Zheng had encountered such a thing when he was a food reviewer.
There was not so much money that time, only more than 3,000 yuan. In the end, the hotel paid more than 10,000 yuan. That time it was not fake wine, but bill fraud. There were deliberately extra dishes that they did not order.
The things are different, but the meaning is the same. This company is more serious and is suspected of selling fake wine. Such a large amount is enough for them to eat a pot.
"Our restaurant is a Michelin restaurant. How can we sell fake wine? Don't even think about compensation!"
After hearing what they said, the waiter couldn't help but said that in the waiter's opinion, Gu Zheng and the others did this deliberately. Their wine could not be fake and there would be no compensation.
"How long have you been working here?" Gu Zheng looked at the waiter and asked with a smile.
"More than a year!" The waiter looked at Gu Zheng and answered Gu Zheng's question.
"How many times have you sold this kind of wine?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Three times counting this time!"
The waiter was very honest and answered Gu Zheng's question. Gu Zheng sighed secretly in his heart and continued: "It has been sold three times. Has anyone mentioned this problem to you before, saying that there is something wrong with this wine?"
"No, not one!" The waiter immediately shook his head like a rattle.
"Gu Zheng, please explain to us clearly what is going on. We are in a daze now and don't know anything!"
Du Yang shouted again in a hurry. He was really anxious. This involved one hundred thousand yuan for him. How could he not be anxious? As for the waiter, he was just curious.
"Okay, I'll tell you the reason. Before I tell you the reason, let me talk about the wine first. Louis XIII is a very noble cognac. The reason why it is so expensive is because they are all wines that have been aged for more than fifty years.
, Brandy is a brand of wine. All Cognacs are brandy, but not all brandies are Cognac. Cognac is the name of a region in France, just like our town of Maotai, where the wines produced by Maotai are all
It’s liquor, but not all liquors are called Maotai!”
When Gu Zheng gave an example, Du Yang and the others immediately understood what was going on, and they all listened quietly.
"Louis XIII is produced by Rémy Martin and is a high-end product of Rémy Martin. Any company attaches great importance to the anti-counterfeiting of high-end products, and so does Rémy Martin. Therefore, the packaging bottles of Louis XIII are replaced every five years, and there are changes every time.
, their bottle of wine is said to be 1997-year-old wine, but the bottle used is the latest Louis XIII packaging bottle. From this, it can be concluded that this so-called bottle of 1997 Louis XIII is not real at all, so they say they are consumer products.
Fraud!"
Gu Zheng explained the reason, and Du Yang, Wang Tao and Zhao Yongkui immediately looked at the empty bottle.
The waiter also leaned his head and looked at it curiously.
"How can you tell that this is a new bottle?" Du Yang looked at it for a while, but was still confused and couldn't help but ask again.
“Search online yourself!”
Gu Zheng couldn't help but said angrily, and Du Yang suddenly took out his mobile phone. Not only him, but also several people around him took out their mobile phones, including the waiter.
Soon, they all found out the differences in the bottles. After comparison, Du Yang was the first to shout: "Really, really, this is either the previous packaging bottle or the current one. There is an 11-shaped figure here,
This is an 11th generation wine bottle. It’s not that it’s fake wine, they actually sold us fake wine!”
Hearing Du Yang's words, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh again.
He has already said that the wine is not fake, it is real wine, but it is not the real Louis XIII. It is like fake Maotai, using other cheaper wines to put into Maotai bottles. The wine is not fake, it is still the same.
Really, it's just not worth the price.
This bottle of Louis XIII is also a real cognac. If it was a fake wine, Gu Zheng would have drank it long ago.
"Consumer fraud, lose money!"
After understanding what was going on, Du Yang immediately said something fierce to the waiter. Zhao Yongkui looked at Gu Zheng. He finally understood why Gu Zheng took pictures of the wine bottles and why he put away the purchase order first and went to pay for it.
bill.
These are all evidence. With this evidence, they can be compensated.
In other words, Gu Zheng understood all this from the beginning, and Gu Zheng always said that Du Yang had made a fortune. From this point, it can be seen that Gu Zheng was helping Du Yang whether he was paying money or collecting evidence.
Positive.
Du Yang was really lucky this time. He didn't spend a penny and still earned 300,000 yuan.
"What you say is fraud is fraud, but what you say doesn't count!"
The waiter hurriedly identified it, but was shocked in his heart. He also went online and found information about the packaging of Louis XIII bottles. It was exactly the same as what Gu Zheng said. Their bottles were indeed new bottles, not bottles from 1997 at all.
In this case, the so-called Louis XIII in 1997 is naturally false.
"Ancient struggle!"
"Mr. Gao, why are you here in person?"
A group of people came into the restaurant and walked directly towards Gu Zheng and the others. Gu Zheng stood up in a hurry. He didn't expect that Mr. Gao actually came in person. He called Mr. Gao because of this consumer fraud matter.
I have done it many times and have experience.
"I happen to be fine. I heard that someone is pretending to be a Michelin restaurant and committing consumer fraud, so I came here to have a look!"
Gao Lao said with a smile, and introduced the people who came with Gu Zheng. Some of them were staff from the Food Association who were responsible for consumer fraud, two were responsible for investigating counterfeit Michelins, and several others were from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
friend.
They were on duty, and one of them happened to be Gao Lao's nephew. Because of this connection, they were brought along.
As soon as Mr. Gao and others arrived, the store immediately became lively.
The manager of the store also came out. He first denied that it was a fake Louis XIII, but before the irrefutable evidence, he changed his story and said that he got it by mistake and sold it to the wrong person. Finally, the people from the Food Association and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau couldn't stand it anymore and issued a stern warning.
They are also asked to close down their businesses tomorrow, and their business licenses may be revoked after the investigation is completed.
Not only will it be revoked, but there will also be heavy fines, and there will be no loss of compensation.
At this time, the manager relented and came to Gu Zheng and Du Yang, offering a full refund and free meals today, but it was impossible to lose money and he did not have the authority.
Gu Zheng ignored him at all. The worse their attitude, the less likely it was to end so easily.
Gu Zheng and Du Yang left first, and Mr. Gao soon followed. People from the Food Association and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau got the evidence, and the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau even issued a closure notice on the spot.
The results of the investigation came out the next day. It was a fake Louis XIII. One will be refunded and three will be compensated.
Michelin asked them to remove the imitation Michelin brand, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau gave them a fine of 500,000 yuan. They sold a bottle of wine, but were fined 800,000 yuan, and the counterfeiting of Michelin was also exposed.
.
For this restaurant, their vitality was greatly damaged, but for Du Yang, it really made a fortune.
The restaurant handed over the three hundred thousand yuan honestly, and they didn't want to pay it, but if they didn't hand it over, the hotel that invested tens of millions would be completely wasted, and they knew clearly what was more important.
Even if their reputation is damaged, as long as their quality, service and taste are good, they can still make money in the future. However, they can no longer borrow the help of Michelin and will have to do all their own business in the future.
"Gu Zheng, I can't take this money!"
On the fifth day after dinner, the four of them gathered together again and looked at the 300,000 yuan that Gu Zheng sent. Du Yang kept shaking his head there. Although Gu Zheng had always said that he was the one who made the fortune, in his heart
, and had no idea of accepting the money.
If he had paid for the meal at that time, he would have felt comfortable taking the money. However, it was Gu Zheng who paid for the meal. It was Gu Zheng who noticed that it was a fake. It was Gu Zheng who asked the Food Association for help. He didn't know anything about it.
If you don’t do it, you won’t feel comfortable with the money.
"What's yours is yours. If I were treating you that day, I wouldn't have brought it to you at all!"
Gu Zheng laughed loudly. The money was transferred from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and was given by check. He directly took the cash and brought it to him.
"Du Yang, take it, you don't see that this is Gu Zheng's good intention. If you are really grateful, just treat it again!"
Zhao Yongkui is older and knows that Gu Zheng is not short of money now, so he is taking the opportunity to help Du Yang. Among the four, Du Yang is the only one from the countryside. The others can still help out at home anyway. Du Yang
But here he has to rely entirely on himself.
"That's right, take it. You've always wanted to buy a house. Now that you've been promoted and got a raise, and you've made a fortune, you should look for an opportunity and buy a house as soon as possible so that you can have your own little home!"
Wang Tao also persuaded Gu Zheng to have a house. Although Wang Tao and Zhao Yongkui did not, their family members had said that they would definitely help them pay part of the money when buying a house, so they should not worry.
Du Yang is completely dependent on himself. In the past, there was no hope of buying a house with his salary. Now that he has been promoted and unexpectedly earned 300,000 yuan, buying a house is no longer a distant dream.
With 300,000 yuan, plus his own savings and credit card, there is no problem in making a down payment for a small house in a remote place in the suburbs. Even though it is far away, it is still his own home.
"Okay, then I'll invite you again!"
Du Yang's eyes were red, he sniffed heavily and accepted the money.
He knew that Gu Zheng had always been helping him, and it was his job. This time too, he still couldn't pay back the favor he owed Gu Zheng, so he could only find opportunities to repay it in the future.
Getting to know Gu Zheng and making friends with Gu Zheng is his biggest gain and pride. Du Yang is not coy and Gu Zheng is also very happy. Now he has no shortage of money. The chicken blood soup shop can give it to him every month.
There are millions of dividends, but he cannot and cannot directly give money to his friends.
If you do that, you will lose all your friends.
This time is an opportunity, but if Du Yang hadn't really wanted to thank Gu Zheng and wanted to ask for a good one, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity. This can be regarded as Du Yang's fortune.
This time, Du Yang didn't find a good place for the treat, but found a food stall at random. The four of them drank beer happily, and then went to the bar to play for half the night. Except for Gu Zheng, everyone else drank too much.
, in the end it was Gu Zheng who sent them home.
"Successor of Tie Xian, you did a great job this time!"
Just after returning to his home, Qi Ling suddenly said to Gu Zheng that the sun was rising in the west, and Qi Ling actually praised him again.
"It's very small things that can reveal your character. I didn't choose the wrong person this time!"
Qi Ling said again, and Gu Zheng had a little bit of pride on his face. It was not easy to get praise from Qi Ling, and what's more, the praise this time was for his character.
"Next, I'll give you a little test!"
Qi Ling's words made Gu Zheng tremble violently, and he shouted in his heart: "Wait a minute, you said I have good character, why are you testing me again?"
"Does good character have anything to do with testing? Does good character not accept testing?"
Qi Ling's words made Gu Zheng feel like he was choking on his food. Has this Qi Ling been displeased with him recently and is looking for something to do for himself?
"This test is related to wine. There is also wine in the immortal world. Immortal wine is very good. Master Tiexian can brew many kinds of fairy wine. Due to environmental problems on your earth, it is difficult to brew fairy wine, but it is not impossible. This time
The test is to use existing and unknown ingredients to brew a pot of fairy wine!"
The test this time was actually to make wine, but Qi Ling himself said that in the current environment, brewing fairy wine is very difficult. This is not a difficult task for someone. Besides, he doesn't know how to brew fairy wine at all.
"This test is for one month. You can refuse the test. If you refuse, the descendants of Tie Xian will lose all the immortal wine brewing skills of Lord Tie Xian and will not get them in the future. After the test is successful, you can get generous rewards!"
After Qi Ling finished speaking, the choice fell into Gu Zheng's hands again.
This test can actually be refused, unlike the previous tests which were overbearing and did not allow refusal at all.
Although it is possible to refuse, the result of refusal is also very cruel, and all Tiexian's wine-making skills will be lost. Although wine-making is not a formal cooking skill, good wine is just like good food. It is not easy to make. A good wine master
, no less than a good chef.
If he refused, he would never get these skills again. If he succeeded in the test, there would be generous rewards. Gu Zheng felt that Qi Ling was like a little devil, deliberately trying to seduce him.
On the one hand, there was loss, on the other hand, there was gain. Gu Zheng gritted his teeth tighter and tighter, and finally nodded heavily.
"I accepted the test!"
The test is difficult, but it is not impossible to complete. Moreover, he has the experience of completing the test many times. It is brewing. As long as he has enough raw materials and a brewing method, he believes that he can succeed.
"Successor of Tie Xian, you have accepted the test, and the test starts from now on!"
Qi Ling's voice sounded, and Gu Zheng listened quietly, but after finishing speaking, Qi Ling didn't say a word, which made Gu Zheng very confused.
"Is it over like this?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask in the end.
"How to brew fairy wine, I don't know the technology, how can I complete the test?"
Gu Zheng couldn't bear to ask loudly. This weapon spirit had to ask him about everything. The test for him was to make wine, but he didn't tell him the method of making wine. Even if he had enough raw materials, he couldn't make it.
ah.
"Just go find it if you don't know it. The test has already begun. I don't care if you know it or not. As long as you can come up with the fairy wine you brewed within the time limit!"
Qi Ling said quickly, while Gu Zheng's eyes widened completely.
"You mean you won't give me the skills to make wine?"
Gu Zheng asked this question with an almost trembling voice, and Qi Ling replied as it should be: "Of course, if I give it to you, it is equivalent to cheating, and of course I can't give it to you!"
"The weapon spirit belongs to your uncle!"
After a while, Gu Zheng cursed in his heart, but thinking about it, Qi Ling did not promise to give him the technology to brew fairy wine. He thought about everything as a matter of course. Since the test was to brew wine, then there was always something wrong with him.
Will give him a way to make wine.
But he didn't expect that this time the weapon spirit dug such a big hole and didn't give him anything, so he just jumped down.
"It's not impossible to find a way to make wine, but you need to take another test. If you complete it, the reward will give you a method to make fairy wine!"
Qi Ling said with a smile, Gu Zheng wanted to punch it a few times and accept the test. Gu Zheng will not be fooled this time. If he takes the test again, he doesn't know what kind of pitfalls are waiting for him.
"If you fail this test, you will be whipped three hundred times!"
Qi Ling's voice suddenly became louder, and Gu Zheng shivered violently. After struggling all night, it was almost dawn, so Gu Zheng simply didn't want to sleep, so he got up and went to book a flight ticket.
Book a flight to go back to Emei.
Qi Ling didn't give him a way to make wine, so he had to find it on his own. After all, Emei is a sect that existed during the period when the Dharma was flourishing. There was also fairy wine on earth during the period when the Dharma was flourishing, so the brewing methods from that time must have been left behind.
As long as there is, there is hope for brewing fairy wine and completing this test.
After the morning flight, Gu Zheng arrived at Mount Emei in the afternoon and headed straight for Emei.
Emei's Immortal Formation Gu Zheng already knew how to get there, so he didn't need anyone to pick him up. After he entered Emei, there were many disciples practicing in front of the Emei Pagoda.
"See the leader!"
Some disciples saw Gu Zheng and saluted hurriedly. After Gu Zheng returned the salute to them, he immediately went to the backyard to look for Wuyou and Wuyou.
"Master, do you want the technology to brew fairy wine?"
Upon hearing Gu Zheng's request, both Wuyou and Wuyou stared with big eyes, looking in disbelief.
"That's right, Emei has existed for so many years, so we must have such technology!"
Gu Zheng nodded seriously. Without the method of making wine, he didn't know what raw materials were needed. This test was even more difficult to start with. Everything needed to have a recipe first, a recipe for making wine.
"We have some wine that can strengthen the body, but we don't have ambrosia!"
Wuyou and Wuyou looked at each other, and finally Elder Wuyou said in a very embarrassed tone, Immortal Wine happened thousands of years ago, and it doesn't even exist now, let alone any technology.
"No, how come there isn't? We in Emei are a big sect. Our ancestors who were cultivating immortals back then didn't drink!"
Gu Zheng cried out. He thought there must be one in Emei. On the way here, he even complained to Qi Ling, saying that he had a way to find the recipe for brewing wine. Unexpectedly, Elder Wuchou said there was no such thing.
"Master, the ancestors who cultivated immortality in the past did drink alcohol, but that doesn't mean they can brew immortal wine after drinking. We in Emei have always practiced immortality diligently, and no one knows how to brew immortal wine!"
Elder Wuyou smiled bitterly and explained to Gu Zheng.
One thing Gu Zheng didn’t know is that making ordinary wine is easy, but fairy wine is not easy. Fairy wine itself can increase the fairy power in the body and has a similar effect to elixir. It is very complicated to brew. Such fairy wine brewing technology is also
It's not widespread, it's all controlled by the sects, and the fairy wine they brew can be exchanged for more cultivation resources.
In the Age of Ending Dharma, immortal wine was difficult to brew, so it was worthless. However, since it was no longer valuable, people who didn’t need it wouldn’t want it, so it wasn’t widely spread.
Emei is not a small town, but after all, it is just a branch of Shushan. In addition, the disciples are all practicing, so no one pays attention to this wine-making technology. If you want fairy wine, just buy it.
Even if they buy fairy wine, they don't drink it often. Even immortal cultivators can get drunk with fairy wine, and getting drunk can cause trouble.
After listening to Elder Wuyou's explanation, Gu Zheng was completely dumbfounded. The wine-making technology of emotion is still a very important treasure. Ordinary people in the era of prosperous law did not have it at all. He really thought too simply.
"Master, you must have immortal power to brew immortal wine. Without immortal power, it is useless. If you want skills, do you want to brew it yourself?"
Elder Wuyou asked again. In fact, both he and Wuyou had doubted whether Gu Zheng had some way to use his immortal power.
Their previous performance in the Tai Chi Dao Ancient Competition was really unbelievable. Not to mention them, other people thought the same way.
If they hadn't seen that Gu Zheng always used his inner strength, they would really doubt that Gu Zheng was an immortal cultivator who hid his strength.
"Even if I don't have immortal power, I still have other ways!"
Gu Zheng did not deny it, but he also did not admit that what he possessed was immortal power. He only said that he had a way.
Wuyou and Wuyou looked at each other. Sure enough, the master did have a way to use the immortal power, but it might not last long or be used frequently. But even so, it was very powerful. How could an ordinary cultivator have immortal power?
Now that you can use part of your immortal power, doesn't it mean that you are more likely to become an immortal cultivator in the future? No wonder the leader is so confident not to take snow lotus seeds, he has a backup plan.
This also made the two of them sigh even more. Who is the master behind the master? He actually has such a powerful training method.
