Gu Zheng was packing up the ingredients for the third course, and Elder Wuchou had already deliciously eaten a 'charcoal-roasted green bird'.
“It’s so delicious!”
Elder Wuchou sighed while sucking his fingers in vain, and his eyes frequently fell on Gu Zheng's 'charcoal-roasted green-feathered sparrow'.
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at Elder Wuchou and chose to ignore the desire in his eyes.
Although it has been a while since Gu Zheng got the Green Feathered Bird, he has not eaten it yet. Not only the Green Feathered Bird, he has also not eaten most of the ingredients he got in the Shu Ruins! After all, he wants to
There are always very few opportunities to take time off to make a good meal, and there are so many types of ingredients obtained from Shu Ruins. It is impossible to eat them all in a short while, unless you are specialized in it.
Try something new.
The ingredients for the third dish have been prepared. Gu Zheng washed his hands. Under the gaze of Elder Wuyou swallowing his saliva, he picked up the 'Charcoal Grilled Green Feather Bird' and took a bite. Suddenly, the burnt yellow skin appeared strange.
With the sound, along with a piece of tender and fragrant meat inside, Gu Zheng tore it off and swallowed it into his mouth.
“It tastes really good.”
A 'charcoal grilled green bird' was eaten quickly, and to be honest, it was not enough to fill the gap between teeth.
Glancing at Elder Wuchou, whose face was still full of longing, Gu Zheng said helplessly: "Don't be like this, okay? After all, you are also the second elder of the Emei Sect. Can we be a little ambitious? There are two of us, one person each, and you are no better.
I’ll eat less!”
"Master, I didn't eat less, but I didn't eat enough!" Elder Wuchou said aggrievedly.
"Okay, don't look sad. When I really go back to the city, I will cook a big meal for you! Originally, the 'charcoal-roasted green feathered bird' was not included in this big meal.
It's included in the meal, but since you're so eager, I'll just let you taste it when the time comes." Gu Zheng smiled.
"Thank you, Master, the Master is the best!"
Elder Wuchou hurriedly thanked him, with a hopeless smile still on his face.
The 'Charcoal Grilled Green Feather Bird' has been finished, and the 'Steamed Sea Bass' has also been cooked. The third dish Gu Zheng is going to make now is a vegetarian dish called 'Vegetarian Stir-fried Pumpkin Tips'.
There are not many pumpkin tips on the market that can be found in any market. It can be regarded as a seasonal wild vegetable. Whether it is stir-fried with vegetables or meat, it tastes very good.
Gu Zheng had torn off the fur from the pumpkin tips in advance and cut them into sections. After the oil was hot in the pot, he added minced garlic and shredded pepper and stir-fried. Then he added the pumpkin tips, stir-fried and added salt.
Fresh fragrance.
‘Vegetarian Stir-fried Pumpkin Tips’ is the fastest dish to prepare among the four dishes and one soup in Gu Zheng. When this dish comes out of the pot, the other dishes and one soup have also been completed.
The fourth dish is the ingredient, and its name is 'Cold Radish Skin'. Gu Zheng should be the first to make this dish. After all, it is a cold dish. After Gu Zheng processed the radish skin, he marinated it there.
.
As for the last dish of ‘mushroom soup’, it has already been cooked, and now it is coming out of the pot with a fragrant aroma.
"The four dishes and one soup have been completed. Go and inform him now!" Gu Zheng said.
"Master, I'm still a little worried. I feel that the old man won't be easy to talk to. Besides, the last two dishes are fresh enough, but are they a bit too low-grade, so he will find fault with them?" Elder Wuchou said
His eyes showed concern.
"Don't worry, he will never deliberately find fault!" Gu Zheng affirmed.
"Why is the leader so sure? Because he said before that he would not cheat?" Elder Wuyou asked.
"No! At first, like you, I thought he wouldn't be easy to talk to, and he might be picky and cheating. But when I was cooking, I thought about it again and felt that the reason why he asked me to cook four dishes and one soup was actually
He was looking for a way out for himself. We called him at his house. It stands to reason that it would be almost impossible to be virtuous if something like this happened! But what about him? He knew that I had won the championship in the Chinese Food Competition, but he still let me
I'm going to make a dish of four dishes and one soup. If this isn't to find a way for myself, what else is it?"
When Jing Guzheng said this, Elder Wuchou's eyes lit up: "The leader's analysis is correct, that should be the case. After all, we in Emei are also a famous sect. Even if they don't know our current level, we really want to go there."
You still have to weigh it carefully whether you offend someone in death."
Gu Zheng nodded: "Go ahead and tell him it's done!"
Elder Wuchou went to notify the old man in Tang suit, and the old man in Tang suit also arranged for someone to bring the four dishes and one soup made by Gu Zheng to the restaurant.
There were lids on the dinner plates. When the old man in Tang suit saw that there were only four plates and a clay pot, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Don't you have a steamed bowl of rice?"
"No, I confirmed it to you before, and you also said it was just four dishes and one soup."
Before he started cooking, Gu Zheng did confirm with the old man in Tang suit. In that case, he had already made it very detailed. However, the old man in Tang suit did not add that he needed rice, so Gu Zheng was naturally too lazy to make him a bowl.
.
"Well, it turns out that when Master Gu asked me before, he had a profound meaning!" The old man in Tang suit shook his head.
"There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the door. If I can stay here for a little longer, I will have more time to do what I need to do. When I came to your Zhao Mansion today, I didn't expect that there would be a armed conflict.
, but things happened in the end, no matter who was right or wrong, since we have agreed to eliminate the festival with qualified four dishes and one soup, then don’t waste time on other things."
Gu Zheng originally planned to speak politely, but before he spoke, he saw that the young man who was stabbed by Elder Wuyou's flying knife was looking at them with resentful eyes. Just when Gu Zheng looked at him,
The surprised old man in Tang suit also looked back and caught the young man's gaze! However, the old man in Tang suit didn't say anything to this, so Gu Zheng's politeness naturally stopped looking at him.
Moreover, in the final analysis of this matter, Gu Zheng felt that the fault was with the Zhao family! If they had said from the beginning that Wuchen Gumu had already made the coffin, Gu Zheng would have given up immediately, and there would have been no further follow-up. However,
They knew they had a strong background, but they didn't want to explain it clearly, and their attitude was rather arrogant, which led to everything that happened later.
"Haha." The old man in Tang suit smiled: "Master Gu is right, there is no need to waste time on other things. Since it is according to the agreement, then I will come and taste your cooking. What is the relationship between us?
Whether you make enemies or turn conflicts into friendship, it all depends on the four dishes and one soup you cook! Everyone has their own habits. For me, I am used to drinking a bowl of soup before eating."
After the old man Tang Zhuo finished speaking, a young man behind him immediately opened the lid of the clay pot and filled him with a bowl of mushroom soup.
"It's a vegetarian soup. It smells pretty good, but the colors of the mushrooms in it look a little different."
The old man in Tang suit just smelled the smell and knew that Gu Zheng did not use meat ingredients to make the soup.
Regarding the color and aroma of the soup, the old man in Tang suit had an average reaction, but when he swallowed a spoonful of soup and mushrooms, his eyes widened instantly: "That shouldn't be the case! I've never had vegetarian mushroom soup before, why is this?
The soup tastes so delicious? It’s not that some seasoning is added to it. If it is added, I will definitely be able to taste it. This is the delicious taste mixed with several kinds of mushrooms, but it is more mellow!” said the old man in Tang suit.
While talking to himself, he also looked at Gu Zheng: "The piece of shiitake mushroom I just ate, Master Gu, was specially roasted, right?"
"That's right." Gu Zheng said calmly.
The 'mushroom soup' I made today is actually very similar to the 'mushroom soup' made in Shushan Kitchen. The ingredients have also been processed in a different way. However, the ingredients in the 'mushroom soup' do not have 'mushroom soup'
The grades are high and there are not that many varieties.
"When I first saw the mushroom soup, I thought the colors of the mushrooms looked a little different. Now it seems that you have processed these mushrooms in different ways, right?"
"Yes." Gu Zheng still said calmly.
"This processing method is very unique, but no one has done it this way, at least I have done it, but why is the difference in texture and taste so big?" The old man in Tang suit muttered to himself, and then poured all the mushroom soup out of the bowl.
Drink.
"I have to say that this is the best mushroom soup I have ever tasted. This soup gave me an amazing feeling!"
After finishing a bowl of mushroom soup, the old man in Tang suit motioned to the people next to him and served him another bowl. In fact, there was something he didn't say out loud. Gu Zheng had already conquered the world with just this bowl of mushroom soup.
His taste! He believed that someone who could make this kind of mushroom soup would be able to make other dishes as well. After all, he himself had won the championship in the Chinese Food Competition.
"Master Gu, can you tell me how you make such a delicious soup?" the old man in Tang suit hesitated.
"You also know that I am a cultivator, and my understanding of ingredients is not the same as ordinary people. If your understanding of ingredients can reach a certain level, then you will also know how to turn the original ordinary into something
Extraordinary.”
In fact, the taste of this 'mushroom soup' is not much different from the 'mushroom soup' made by Shushan Kitchen. After all, Gu Zheng did not use any magical skills to make the 'mushroom soup' that time, but this time's 'mushroom soup'
, just using the Wood Control Technique can make the mushrooms taste more delicious.
After hearing Gu Zheng's answer, the old man in Tang suit thought thoughtfully for a while, and then motioned to the person behind him to lift the lid on the plate.
The plates were arranged according to Gu Zheng's requirements, so the first dish the old man in Tang suit saw was 'charcoal-roasted green feathered bird'.
"Hey, what kind of bird is this?"
The old man in Tang suit made a curious voice. There was a crest on the green-feathered sparrow's head, and he saw the difference at a glance.
"No wonder you said before that you have something better than quail. So you meant this! What's its name?" asked the old man in Tang suit.
"Green-feathered bird." Gu Zheng said.
"This should be something produced in the Ruins of Shu, right? The ancient headmaster actually carries it with him. It seems that he also has something like a space fairy weapon. Emei is really different from before!"
The old man in Tang suit was not afraid of making people uncomfortable with what he said, and he still talked to himself in an "unobtrusive" manner. In this regard, Gu Zheng didn't say anything, he just felt that the old man in Tang suit was a little owed.
Say it.
"It is said that 'the birds in the sky belong to quail'. This can only be said to be a matter of knowledge. Just by smelling the meat of this green-feathered bird, I feel that it must taste better than quail."
After taking a deep sniff of the 'charcoal grilled green bird', the old man in Tang suit took a bite and tore off a shred of meat.
A strange sound came from the green-feathered bird's burnt-yellow skin, and the rich aroma of meat spread as the skin tore. The old man in Tang suit opened his eyes wide and chewed the roasted meat in his mouth quickly.
After taking a mouthful of meat, the old man in Tang suit didn't say anything, and immediately bit into the 'charcoal-grilled green-feathered bird'.
Because he ate too fast, the tender meat juice in the green feathered bird overflowed from the corner of his mouth. The green feathered bird, which was originally only the size of two quails, was quickly eaten by the old man in Tang suit.
"Gudong."
Behind the old man in Tang suit, the sound of swallowing was not the first time. This sound was heard at least five times when he was enjoying the 'charcoal grilled green bird'.
"I can't stop, I can't stop at all!"
Looking at the bones on the plate, the old man in Tang suit was still reminiscing about the taste of 'charcoal-grilled green bird'.
"In my life, I have eaten everything that flies in the sky, swims in the sea, and is something that most people have never eaten. Today's green-feathered bird is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten! This kind of food comes from Shu
The high-quality meat in the market has a feeling that cannot be eaten in the outside world!"
The old man in Tang suit looked very emotional, but Gu Zheng just smiled. He understood that the reason why the old man in Tang suit praised Green Feather Bird so much was true to a large extent, but there was still a sense of 'rare things are valuable'
There are factors in it. He just tasted the green feathered bird, and the green feathered bird is only the second-best quality among the meat ingredients produced in Shuxu, not even ordinary.
"Master Gu, you are really good at cooking. Although you only put salt in the roasted green bird, it doesn't have any taste! There is no pre-pickled flavor, just let the salt evenly absorb the flavor. This
I'm afraid only you cultivators are capable of this kind of skill, right? In addition, grilled meat can also lock in moisture so well, I've seen it today!"
The old man in Tang suit wiped the corners of his mouth and motioned to the people behind him to open the lid of the second dish.
"Hey, it's fried pumpkin tips? I thought it was some kind of big dish!"
Having said that, the old man in Tang suit still couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, pick up a pumpkin tip and put it into his mouth.
It’s not surprising that the old man in Tang suit would have such a reaction. People nowadays, especially those whose houses are built in deep mountains, have a special fondness for things that are more natural, and they also like
Pursue the so-called way of maintaining health. Pumpkin tips are a seasonal wild vegetable, and they themselves have certain medicinal value. If the old man in Tang suit doesn't like to eat it, he shouldn't have this kind of wild vegetable in the kitchen refrigerator.
"tasty!"
A plate of 'Vegetarian Stir-fried Pumpkin Tips', the old man in Tang suit actually finished it all before opening his mouth, which shows his love for this kind of wild vegetable.
"Although the pumpkin tips are stir-fried, they still taste good. It's really memorable!" The old man in Tang suit paused for a moment, and for the first time, he looked at Gu Zheng with approval in his eyes: "I have to say, Master Gu is very capable.
!The pumpkin tips in the refrigerator have actually been there for three days. They are not that fresh anymore. I would have thrown them away today, but who would have thought that Master Gu would use them to make a dish? What I didn’t expect even more
Yes, the pumpkin tips that were already stale are actually made by Master Gu to be more fresh than the fresh ones, which makes me have to say "good!"
For the old man in Tang suit to be so amazing, the intermediate wood control technique played a major role in the dish 'Vegetarian Stir-fried Pumpkin Tips'.
The lid of the third dish was opened. When the old man in Tang suit saw this dish, his expression was the dullest.
"This 'steamed seabass' looks and smells pretty average. It doesn't seem to be much different from the one made by the chef in the hotel."
The old man in Tang suit frowned slightly, picked up a small piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After eating, he picked up the fish twice more and then put down the chopsticks.
Looking at the old man in Tang suit, Elder Wuchou's face turned cold. He felt that the old man in Tang suit was looking for trouble.
"The meat is very tender and smooth. This dish is indeed more delicious than the one made by the chef in the hotel, but it is not as delicious as the previous two dishes and one soup, which gave me the amazing feeling.
"
The serious expression on the face of the old man in Tang suit made even Gu Zheng wonder, is he going to cause trouble while serving this dish?
"However, the heat of this 'steamed seabass' is well controlled, the meat is tender and tender and the texture is just right, and the soup is also very good. Although it didn't give me a surprising feeling, it is still delicious in ordinary times.
What a delicacy.”
The expression of the old man in Tang suit was still so serious, even though this dish already met his standards! And he evaluated the 'Steamed Bass' with such an expression, which made Elder Wuyou, who had already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, still wanted to think about it.
He had to be beaten violently to relieve his anger.
There was only one last dish left. When the person behind him opened the lid, the old man in Tang suit once again made a surprised sound: "Cold radish skin?"
"Bian radish skin, white radish skin, looks red, green and white, but this..."
The old man in Tang suit hesitated to speak. He had never eaten 'Cold Radish Skin' before. His first impression of this dish was not good at all.
The old man in Tang suit picked up a piece of radish skin with slight disgust and put it into his mouth. He made a very crisp sound when chewing it.
As he continued chewing, the original disgust on the old man's face was replaced by surprise. After swallowing the first piece of radish skin, he tasted the second and third pieces in succession! Then, he turned around again
After tasting the 'steamed seabass' before, my eyes were even more amazed.
In just a moment, the 'Cold Radish Slices' that were originally disliked by the old man in Tang Dynasty, and even the 'Steamed Sea Bass' that he had just tasted before, were all wiped out by him.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
After swallowing the last piece of radish skin, the old man in Tang suit couldn't wait to speak and at the same time extended his thumb towards Gu Zheng.
"Is this what is called turning decay into magic? I never thought that radish skin could be so delicious when eaten cold. Why do two types of radishes that are not too fresh feel so fresh in your hands?
It's slightly spicy, but it's crisp and refreshing, especially after eating meat, or when eaten with meat. It's so refreshing! No wonder it's served before.
At that time, the ancient leader asked for the order, and it turns out that there is still such a meaning in it!" The old man in Tang suit paused, and then said: "But I think that this 'Cold Radish Slices', if it is placed on grilled green feathers,
The taste should be better at the back of the bird."
"Put it behind the 'charcoal-grilled green bird', the aroma of the meat, the freshness of the radish skin, and the stimulating taste of the two meeting each other, just for a moment, will soon neutralize and disappear. But put it on the 'steamed sea bass'
Behind it, two relatively simple and elegant dishes will complement each other to enhance the taste."
Although it was the first time for Gu Zheng to make the 'Charcoal Grilled Green Bird', 'Steamed Sea Bass' and 'Cold Radish Slices', and he had never tasted them before, his understanding of the ingredients allowed him to enjoy them without tasting them.
You can imagine how they taste when they meet.
"Awesome!" The old man in Tang suit pointed out his thumb again: "I used to think that I was good at eating, but the meal I had today and what you said made me feel that I was just something I had eaten.
It’s just more.”
"It seems that the four dishes and one soup have satisfied you. In that case, shouldn't it be time for you to tell me the whereabouts of Wu Chen Gu Mu?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes, the four dishes and one soup really satisfy me. Our hostility has turned into friendship. From now on we are considered friends. I, Zhao Wen, should tell you the whereabouts of Wu Chen Gu Mu as promised. However, I still have an unkind request.
, I wonder if Master Gu can agree?"
The old man in Tang suit showed his sincerity in turning conflicts into friendship and took the initiative to say his name.
What kind of unkind invitation is this?" Gu Zheng said.
"When will I be able to taste the delicious food made by the ancient master again?" Zhao Wen looked forward to it with hope.
"If the information you give me can help me successfully obtain Wu Chen Gu Mu, if you go to Emei Pai within a month, I will make food for you again."
Zhao Wen spoke politely, and Gu Zheng's tone also softened. However, easing does not mean agreeing to everything the other party says. Whether or not Zhao Wen will cook another delicious meal depends on whether the follow-up things go smoothly.
It depends on his mood.
"Okay, as long as the words of the ancient leader are enough."
Zhao Wen laughed and then told Gu Zheng the whereabouts of Wu Chen Gu Mu.
Many years ago, Zhao Wen once obtained a large dark-stained ancient wood. The dark-stained ancient wood was eventually divided into two parts. One part was used as the longevity tree of the Zhao family, and the other part was kept by the Qingcheng Sect.
Already knowing the whereabouts of Wu Chen Gu Mu, Gu Zheng did not stay in the Zhao Mansion for too long. He took Elder Wuchou with him and returned to the sect first.
Although the Qingcheng Sect is not far from Emei, after all, repairing the Chaos Tower tomorrow will still require the blood and immortal power of Gu Zheng. The search for the ancient Wu Chen wood can only be done after the Chaos Tower is finished tomorrow.
Ancient black-stained wood is actually the extremely expensive 'gloomy wood', but the trees that form this 'gloomy wood' can no longer be seen on the earth today, and its name is called black-stained wood.
The coffin made of ancient black-chen wood is much better than the coffin of golden nanmu. It can prevent the corpse inside from decaying. It is also a rare material used for refining weapons. The Kunlun Sect has a famous immortal
The main material of the utensil is ancient dark wood.
