Brooke was slightly surprised. He didn't know Gu Zheng's specific age, but since Gu Zheng already had the strength of a third-level master, he must also be a practicing madman. Such a person actually said he had skills.
"Master, Ouyang, no, Mr. Gu was originally a chef, a very famous chef!"
The butler Beruconi explained in a low voice. Hearing what the butler said, Brooke was even more surprised. He nodded slowly: "That's great. I'm really not used to the food here, so I'll trouble you, little friend Gu!"
In the past few days of contact, Brooke also learned Gu Zheng's real name. The two of them were in the same boat. Neither of them were from the hell world. They were both sent here by mistake. In this unaccompanied place, the two of them had a certain feeling.
Inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"Come in first!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and let the two of them enter his room. Then he took out the set of fairy kitchen utensils from the ancient space. Brooke saw the extraordinaryness of this set of kitchen utensils at a glance, and his eyes became even more astonished.
The kitchen utensils were won by Gu Zheng. This set of kitchen utensils is really good, much better than the kitchen utensils he used before.
The kitchen utensils were put out, and Gu Zheng took out the ingredients. Since he hadn't thought about what he was going to do beforehand, and it was just a last minute idea, Gu Zheng was going to make something simple and eat it first.
The ingredients are simple, but the taste is not simple. Gu Zheng makes shredded chicken noodle soup and honey chicken.
Three people and a bigger fat chicken. Seeing Gu Zheng take out a live chicken all of a sudden, Brooke's eyes widened even more. He also has a space artifact, but his space artifact is very average, so he can only put it down.
Dead things cannot be placed alive.
Those that can hold live animals are definitely high-end items.
But Brooke didn't say anything. He had a weak temperament. He was like this when he was practicing on the earth, and it was still the same after he successfully cultivated and entered the demon world. Regardless of whether it can hold living objects or not, it is a space artifact that can hold things.
That's fine, it makes no difference to him.
The chicken was quickly processed by Gu Zheng. The shredded chicken was pulled out, the chicken soup was cooked into noodles, and the chicken was reserved to make honey chicken.
It didn't take long for the aroma to spread out. Brooke couldn't help but sniff his nose. Just smelling it, Gu Zheng's cooking was countless times better than what he had just eaten. Even he was aroused and wanted to
Eat it early.
The honey-glazed chicken is steaming, and Gu Zheng is starting to prepare the noodles.
Tianmian noodles are used in ancient times. Tianmian flour is the best for making noodles. It is the chewiest and most delicious. Although Tianmian flour is still of ordinary grade, the water and salt have been upgraded to medium, and the overall taste has increased a lot.
.
Brooke stood aside and kept looking at Gu Zheng's hands. Gu Zheng's hands kneading the dough gave him the beauty of an art class.
When Brooke was practicing, he was a lover of literature and art, and he often made friends with big names in literature and art. Many of those big names in literature and art were good friends of Brooke.
Of course, Brooke also has many names. After all, his life essence is kept there. If someone discovers that he is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, he doesn't know what kind of trouble it will cause.
But Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci and others did have good relations with him.
The noodles were kneaded quickly, and Gu Zheng put the noodles into the pot. The honey chicken here was almost ready to be steamed with the help of his magical power.
While cooking the noodles, Gu Zheng took out some ingredients suitable for cold dishes and made a small platter. After the noodles were ready, a honey chicken dish and a small plate of cold dishes were brought to the table.
Two side dishes and a bowl of noodles, a very simple meal.
"please!"
There was a big table in Gu Zheng's room. The three of them sat around the table while the housekeeper looked towards the door.
Gu Zheng makes shredded chicken noodle soup, not chicken blood soup. It doesn't have the exaggerated aroma of chicken blood soup, but the aroma is also very strong. At least everyone in the inn can smell it. Everyone in the inn is asking about it.
Where does the fragrance come from?
The people in the inn were confused. They didn't know what the scent was about. Following the scent, some people came to the outside of Gu Zheng's room. At this moment, there were more than a dozen people standing outside.
It's someone who comes running after smelling the fragrance.
These are ordinary people, they know that the fragrance is inside, but they don't dare to knock or push the door.
After all, the person who gets the best room in an inn is either rich or powerful. Generally, such people cannot afford to offend.
Brooke and Gu Zheng had long known that there was someone outside, so they ignored it and sat there eating noodles.
Gu Zheng ate quite elegantly, but Brooke was different. He ate the noodles very quickly. Even though Brooke was a European, he was very good at using chopsticks. He ate the noodles very smoothly, and occasionally picked up cold dishes and honey sauce.
chicken.
"Not bad, delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time!"
Brooke was eating and talking at the same time. He ate the fastest. In a short while, he ate all the noodles in the bowl. He also ate half of the honey chicken. When the butler saw it, he hurriedly gave him his bowl.
Passed it over.
The butler's bowl has never been touched.
Looking at the butler, Brooke hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "You can eat it, you don't have to give it to me!"
Although he wanted to eat, he couldn't get rid of the shame of eating other people's food. After struggling for a while, he finally gave up.
"Little friend Gu, your cooking skills are really amazing. I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time. No, I should say, I have rarely eaten food that can compare with your kind of food. Only once
, I attended a banquet held by a great lord in the Demon Realm, and the food at the banquet tasted really delicious, almost the same as what you made!"
Brooke said quickly, a big lord is an official title in the demon world, a very powerful person, who lives in a place of the same age, and those who can serve as a big lord are basically strong people with the strength of Daluo Jinxian.
"nice! You love it!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and didn't say much. This was just an ordinary meal he cooked. If he used all medium ingredients or added high-quality ingredients, the taste would be many times better than this.
Food like that is truly amazing.
If it is all excellent-level ingredients, or all high-level ingredients, then it will be a real immortal dish. Qi Ling once said before that when his Tiexian Immortal Technique reaches the fifth level, he will be given high-level ingredients.
, then he can get high-quality ingredients.
He is now at the 70th percentile of the fourth level and is not far from the fifth level. He is really looking forward to cultivating to the fifth level. At least there will be more and better ingredients by then.
Brooke didn't ask for it, and the butler ate the noodles in front of him. After just one bite, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The food made by Gu Zheng is really delicious. He has been living in the castle, but he has also eaten food made by some so-called famous chefs. Compared with the food made by those famous chefs, it is really far behind.
.
It can be said that there is one heaven and one underground.
He has never tasted these delicacies in his life. Now he finally understands why when he inquired about Guzheng information, all he got was information related to cooking skills, such as the winner of the Chinese National Food Competition and the youngest famous chef in China.
, the best chef and so on.
Despite his reputation, Gu Zheng's cooking skills are really good. He completely conquered his taste buds in just one visit.
Three portions of noodles and two dishes were all eaten, and Brooke still had more to say.
"It tastes really good. If I had known, I would have asked you to make it a few days ago!"
They had been in hell for several days. In fact, Brooke had already been a little greedy, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for food today. It was just that the food here made him disappointed.
The food in Hell was disappointing, but Gu Zheng's cooking skills really gave him a big surprise.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and did not speak. Instead, he took out a jug of good wine and even the wine glass.
After pouring out three glasses of wine, Brooke's nose immediately started to smell.
This is a good wine for cultivators. Although it is not immortal wine, it tastes very beautiful. Immortal wine is a good treasure that can enhance immortal power. However, Brooke is not cultivating immortal power, and Gu Zheng did not take out the immortal wine rashly.
, so as not to cause any conflicts if he drinks.
"What a great wine. I haven't had such a wine for a long time. Speaking of which, the last time I had it was brought to me by a friend from the East more than a thousand years ago!"
Brook drank it all in one gulp and immediately praised it. He squinted his eyes and shook his head as he spoke, as if he was recalling the past.
More than a thousand years ago, he had not yet reached the realm of Golden Immortal and was still on Earth. Speaking of which, he and Gu Zheng both came from Earth and were real fellow villagers in this hell. Hell is not the devil world, nor heaven, nor the fairy world.
Even if people on Earth cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm, they will never come to a place like this.
It's even possible that the three of them are the only seedlings from Earth that don't exist anywhere else.
"After drinking, let's go get some news!"
Gu Zheng said softly, Brooke had the experience of traveling between two worlds and knew the characteristics of connection points. Generally speaking, connection points are located in special places, such as the castle before Gu Zheng. That castle was actually the Earth's.
A connection point.
The original Solomon also summoned the seventy-two demon gods.
This is also the reason why the magic circle cannot be moved. This special dispute is unclear, but Brooke knows that he also uses such connection points to go back and forth. As long as they find the connection points, they have hope to return to Earth.
After returning to Earth, Brooke should be careful. As long as he does not trigger the magic circle that travels to and from hell, he has hope of returning to the demon world.
"good!"
Brook agreed readily, and the butler stood up, went to the door and opened it. There were still more than a dozen people standing outside. After seeing the empty bowls and chopsticks on the table, they all shook their heads and left.
A few people were talking, so naturally they didn't worry about people outside being able to hear. However, people standing outside all the time made people feel uncomfortable, so the housekeeper went out to chase them away.
The streets in the city are very wide, and carriages pass by from time to time. According to Gu Zheng's estimation, the roads in the city are about six lanes wide, and there is absolutely no problem in running a few loose carriages side by side.
The roads in the city are made of stones and are very clean. The lives of mortals here are very comfortable. It is not that there are no wars in Hell. There will be wars wherever there are people. Hell is no exception, but there are very few wars, and even fewer large-scale wars.
And few.
Another point is that the rulers of hell are cultivators. Even if there is a war, they will not implicate innocent people. This is a good point. If there is a war, everyone just puts up a fight and fight. Usually it is cultivators and cultivators.
During the fighting, civilians watched from a distance.
For example, if there is an irreconcilable conflict between two families and they must fight, the first people to fight are the cultivators, and they are high-level cultivators, the kind who have reached the realm of immortal cultivators.
If either side fails, then the ordinary cultivators on their side will be unlucky and either be killed or become slaves. As for the civilians, nothing will happen. If some families occupy the territory of other families, those civilians will become slaves.
For their people.
In addition to paying some tributes, the rest of the civilian mortals are to organize people to constantly search for various cultivation resources. These resources are usually not used. As long as they find and contribute to the family, they can get some rewards and improve their lives. Therefore, among the civilians in hell
There are many treasure hunters.
Treasure hunters are different from bounty hunters on Earth. They mainly hunt for treasures, or in other words, they look for cultivation resources provided to cultivators.
Some treasure hunters can't find one for several years, while others can find several in a year. Depending on their luck, the results will be different.
Treasure hunters who cannot find resources and have no savings will live a miserable life and may even starve to death. However, they dare not commit crimes even if they starve to death. The punishment for crimes committed by civilians in hell is very serious, and even if they don’t kill you, they will
If it is serious, it will tear out your soul and make you suffer forever.
Having their souls extracted, they cannot die even after death. They suffer tremendous pain every day, which is enough to frighten all the civilians. Therefore, no civilians dare to violate the laws designated by the ruler. If they violate it, they will really have no chance of survival or death.
It is precisely because of this that the city of hell is very safe. It is not an exaggeration to say that no one picks up things on the road and the door is not closed at night. There are no thieves, no robbers, and no murderers here.
Even if your things are lost, the person who finds them will find a way to return them to you. This really surprised Gu Zheng for a long time.
He also learned about this later. He did not expect that the harmonious society expected by the Chinese people would appear in a place like hell. It has to be said to be a kind of irony and a kind of helplessness.
Good folk customs also resulted in simple folk customs, which made it much easier for them to inquire about news.
When the three of them went out, Brooke kept asking, and they all asked some incomprehensible questions that Gu Zheng couldn't understand at all, such as where it never rained, where there were many clouds, where there were many aquatic plants, and other random questions.
Gu Zheng didn't know how helpful these questions were in finding the connection points, but he was smart and didn't ask. Since Brooke knew the connection points, he had his own way. Gu Zheng just had to wait for the results.
This time he stayed in the city for fifteen days. After fifteen days, Brooke called him to his room.
"According to the information I have received these days, the most likely connection point nearby is in Alishan!"
After calling Gu Zheng over, Brooke immediately gave his analysis. These days of getting along have made them good friends. Brooke has a good temperament and likes to make friends, so it is not difficult to get along with him.
Gu Zheng has excellent cooking skills, which makes people around him reluctant to leave him. The same goes for Brooke. At least these days, Brooke is satisfied every day and can eat different delicious things every day.
, very satisfied.
If this place wasn't hell, he really wanted to live like this day by day until he got tired of eating mainly food made by Gu Zheng.
No, you will never get tired of the delicacies made by Gu Zheng, this is what Brooke believes in his heart.
