Through searching the souls of the four immortal cultivators on Fenglan Planet, Gu Zheng also learned more about things on this planet.
The four cultivators belong to the Kunlun Sect on the Fenglan Star. In this plane, the Kunlun Sect is still the leader of the righteous path, and the Celestial Dynasty to which Kunlun belongs is still the country with the most immortal cultivators in this plane.
There are also many immortal cultivators on Fenglan Planet who came out of the prehistoric times, but compared with the earth, the number of immortal cultivators in this plane is greater! The biggest reason is that there has been no outbreak here recently that can significantly reduce the number of immortal cultivators.
In the battle between good and evil, both sides are temporarily in a relatively peaceful stage, so the number of immortal cultivators is naturally larger.
"The situation in the human world here is very similar to that on Earth. Where are you going to open a store as your first stop?" Qi Ling asked Gu Zheng.
"Come close! Complete one hundred and twenty sales in three months. This task becomes more and more difficult the more I think about it."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he asked, "How much are you going to set for the price of remuneration?"
"Let's settle on one hundred thousand!" Qi Ling said.
"One hundred thousand? Is there any room for change?"
Gu Zheng frowned. The material living standards of ordinary people in Fenglan Star are very similar to those on earth. If the salary is one hundred thousand, this threshold is really not low! In a big city, there may be many people who don't care about this.
One hundred thousand, but Gu Zheng wanted to try to do the task nearby. For people in a relatively remote area like Kunlun, one hundred thousand is really not a small amount of money.
"Initially there is no room for change, but if your business is very poor after a month, you can make changes in some details! After all, this task is to test your cooking skills, not to make things difficult for you.
"
Hearing what Qi Ling said, Gu Zheng felt relieved a lot.
The first stop of the ancient struggle was Moyan City, just outside the Kunlun Mountains. This is a place equivalent to a fourth-tier city on earth.
In the Kunlun Mountains of Fenglan Star, there are four sects of immortal cultivators, and they also have their business in the mortal world in Moyan City. The first thing Gu Zheng must do is to go to the place where they do business in the mortal world and exchange money.
Some currency of this plane.
It was also the Fa Xing era on Fenglan Planet, and the existence of immortal cultivators was no secret, so it was easy to find the Resource Pavilion opened by the Kunlun Sect in Moyan City. It was a three-story wooden retro building.
Entering the Resource Pavilion, someone immediately greeted Gu Zheng warmly and asked him whether he wanted to buy resources or sell resources.
Gu Zheng took out a few high-grade weapon refining materials and exchanged them for 80 million Fenglan Star Coins from the Kunlun Sect's Resource Pavilion. However, this process was not very fast. The Resource Pavilion was for cultivating immortals.
business, and immortal cultivators rarely need so much mortal currency.
Gu Zheng exchanged so many mortal currencies, and the person in charge of the Resource Pavilion also tentatively asked him what he needed these currencies for, and if there was anything he could do to help.
The next thing Gu Zheng had to do was to rent a store in the city. Since the people from Ziyuan Pavilion asked about this, Gu Zheng didn't hide it. He only said that he wanted to open a restaurant. If the Kunlun Sect has a restaurant in the downtown area,
Unused stores can also be rented to him.
The person in charge of the Resource Pavilion asked Gu Zheng not just out of curiosity, he also wanted to make friends with Gu Zheng. After all, the resources provided by Gu Zheng were of good quality and he did not bargain on the price. He was obviously a big customer.
The Kunlun Sect has a store in the busy city, but it is not an idle one. However, in order to attract customers, the person in charge of the Ziyuan Pavilion decided at that time that he would have people vacate the store within an hour, and at the same time help Gu Zheng get settled in the world as soon as possible.
procedures required for doing business.
Naturally, Gu Zheng would not treat Ziyuan Pavilion's enthusiasm unkindly. He casually threw a good-grade weapon refining material over and regarded it as rent and compensation for Ziyuan Pavilion's hard work. The person in charge of Ziyuan Pavilion thanked him profusely.
With someone helping to deal with trivial matters, the store opening progressed very quickly. In almost half an hour, the Kunlun Sect's store in the busy city had been vacated.
Although the store is not big, its location is excellent. After seeing it, Gu Zheng was quite satisfied.
"Master, although this place was a hotel before, the decoration and other things are too poor. Do you need me to use magic to renovate this place?" Dieling asked.
"Just keep it tidy and keep the status quo in other aspects!"
Gu Zheng's original plan was to make the place antique, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this plan.
The business that Gu Zheng wants to do this time is for everyone. It is easier for immortal cultivators to say that they will not be too surprised when they see some things, but for ordinary people, Gu Zheng does not want them to know that this is a store opened by immortal cultivators!
If they knew that this was a shop opened by immortal cultivators, it would be even more difficult for Gu Zheng to do business out of respect for the immortal cultivators.
"The master doesn't want mortals to know that this is a shop opened by immortal cultivators, right?"
Facing Die Ling's inquiry, Gu Zheng nodded.
"I feel like I can't hide it! The rules really make it difficult for the master to do business. Why don't the master discuss it with his sister and see if the rules can be changed appropriately? After all, once mortals know that this is a shop opened by cultivators,
At this point, I'm afraid it will be difficult for mortals to come to the door." Die Ling shrugged and smiled.
"How long can I hide it? As for discussing it with your sister, let's forget about it. She doesn't make the rules."
Regarding the details, Gu Zheng has already thought of many things, and he feels that he can't hide them for long. After all, mortals are not fools. However, when faced with a task, his mentality is to face the difficulties. When it really doesn't work, then he will do it again.
Think of other ways, just take it one step at a time.
With the casting of the butterfly spirit, the store, which was not too messy at first, immediately became tidier.
The Five Elements Immortal Ball in his body was shaking, and Gu Zheng used the Wood Control Technique to create a wooden sign and bulletin board out of thin air.
I waved my hand at the signboard and bulletin board, and the two characters "Qidian" appeared on the signboard, and the business scope of Qidian also appeared on the bulletin board.
"Put the signs and bulletin boards where they should be. Qidian will officially open tomorrow. Don't let the mortals know about it today, lest they be surprised how a restaurant suddenly appeared!" Gu Zheng said.
"clear!"
Dieling nodded and came to the outside of the store with the sign and bulletin board.
The street outside the store was full of pedestrians, and the neighbors on the left and right were also basking in the sun and playing with their mobile phones in front of the store, but no one saw Dieling, and no one saw the store they were familiar with. The signboard and bulletin board had been changed.
Qi Ling went out to place signs and bulletin boards, while Gu Zheng was busy setting up a short-distance teleportation array in the store.
The task was originally difficult to complete, and it was even more impossible to guard one place alone. Gu Zheng planned to open two more unique stores in nearby cities.
With the resources Gu Zheng has at hand now, he can deploy three short-distance teleportation arrays that can be reused. This means that he can teleport to any store that has business coming to him immediately.
After the teleportation fairy formation was arranged, Gu Zheng took Butterfly Spirit and flew to the target city, then spent a lot of money to secure the second store in the shortest time, and set up the teleportation fairy formation corresponding to the first strange store.
After all three strange shops were settled, it was already evening. However, this settlement was only preliminary, and Gu Zheng still had some trivial matters to deal with. For example, if he could not use the fairy kitchen utensils this time, he would need to go to
Get a few sets of ordinary kitchen utensils, but these ordinary kitchen utensils may not be easy to use, and he still needs to process them.
At noon the next day, firecrackers sounded outside the three strange stores. Their opening caused many people to stop and watch. After all, the words on the bulletin boards outside the stores were very eye-catching.
"Really? Betting one million with one hundred thousand?"
"When customers say they are satisfied, they are satisfied, and when customers say they are dissatisfied, they are dissatisfied. Doesn't this mean that I can win a million just by saying I am dissatisfied?"
"If you don't know how to sell, do you think everyone is a fool?"
"Yeah, I didn't even read the instructions carefully! Didn't it say something else in the announcement? If you are willing to try it, you must swear that your evaluation of the food is absolutely sincere, otherwise you will die!"
"Now is the era of Fa Xing, and some things belonging to immortal cultivators are also living in the world. It is better to be cautious about swearing! You might say something against your will, and it will really make people die!"
"There is something fishy, there is definitely something wrong! Whether our ingredients and accessories count or not is up to the store, and it feels like 'the company has the final right to interpret'."
"The store owner said that he opened such a store just to complete a task, not to make money from us. Instead, he hopes that we can stump him and earn a million rewards from him! You all think this
Isn’t it trustworthy?”
"Humph, do you believe it? Unless you have money and nowhere to spend it!"
"You can't say that. What if what the store said is true?"
"Assuming what he said is true, then the store owner must not be a mortal, but a cultivator! What we think is incredible is very simple for cultivators to accomplish! Toads and stones can be turned into white rice and steamed buns
, how can we play with others?"
"According to what you said, this should be a store opened by an immortal cultivator. It's better not to be tempted. It's easy for an immortal cultivator to defeat us!"
"My opinion is different from yours! If this is really a store opened by immortal cultivators, I think we can try it. After all, for immortal cultivators, our currency is not of much use, and they will not be bored to win.
Let’s go back and play with some of our currency?”
"What you said seems to make sense! I really hope someone can come into the store and ask us carefully, and then tell us more details!"
"The conditions for entering the store to inquire are that you must have 100,000 in cash as a stepping stone. Who would go out with 100,000 in cash! Besides, even if you carry 100,000 in cash, you don't dare to ask easily? After all, there are still bad guys!"
"I don't have money. If I had money, I would really give it a try. Bet one hundred thousand for one million. It's tempting no matter how you look at it!"
"I advise you to calm down and don't say anything else, but there are many explanations for the evaluation of food taste! It says that the so-called taste and deliciousness are only based on your ingredients, which means
, even if the ingredients are inedible, as long as he cooks them with oil and salt, the taste will be improved a lot!"
"Why do you think so much? Just post it online and see what netizens say!"
The people watching outside the three strange shops really knew what they were talking about, but no one dared to try it or ask questions to the store owners.
Half an hour after the odd store opened, outside the third odd store, someone finally knocked on the door with 100,000 in cash.
"Brother, ask questions carefully after entering, and then come out and talk to us!"
The onlookers shouted at the young man who knocked on the door.
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell you what you asked when I come out!"
The young man turned back and smiled at everyone, with a hint of arrogance on his young face.
Gu Zheng was originally at the first strange store. Since someone knocked on the door with cash, he immediately used the teleportation array to go to the third strange store.
"Please come in."
Gu Zheng invited the young man into the shop, and Die Ling immediately poured the young man a cup of tea.
"I thought that a store that dared to do this kind of business would be very luxurious inside, but who would have thought that it would be so simple."
The young man looked around and smiled slightly disappointedly.
"I didn't make it too luxurious. I was worried that it would scare the customers." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Hey! I've been to a lot of luxurious places, but nothing can scare me yet!"
The young man smiled contemptuously, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spit out the tea.
"With such a big charade, the tea served to the guests is of such poor quality. I really doubt what you are going to do. Do you have compensation for not satisfying the guests?" the young man said with a frown.
"What I sell is cooking, not tea. I'm afraid of scaring people if the tea is too good! As for compensation for not satisfying customers, I naturally have it here."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, Die Ling immediately placed a small box on the table and opened it. After the box lid popped up, there were colorful Fenglan Star Coins inside.
The young man put his hand into the box and flipped through the stacks of Fenglan Star Coins skillfully, followed by a pleasant sound of paper.
"The money is true, but you are a weird person!"
The young man looked at Gu Zheng, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking, "Are you the shopkeeper here?"
"Yes, I am the shop owner and chef." Gu Zheng said.
"You don't seem to be much older than me!"
The young man seemed to be talking casually, but suddenly asked, "Are you the fairy chef?"
The young man was still staring into Gu Zheng's eyes during the questioning, but Gu Zheng's eyes were calm and said, "No!"
The identity of the Immortal Chef would not have any good impact on the mission, so Gu Zheng simply lied.
"Then are you a cultivator?"
The young man didn't give up and still looked into Gu Zheng's eyes.
"no."
Gu Zheng still lied, and lied very thoroughly: "Not only immortal cooks or immortal cultivators have the strength to do such things, cultivators can do it as well."
The disdain on Gu Zheng's face was met with a disdainful smile from the young man.
"Master, I want to teach this guy a lesson!"
Die Ling suddenly told Gu Zheng what she thought.
"No, this kid is so cute! At least he dares to come in and ask me, which is better than those who just wait and see!" Gu Zheng thought to Die Ling.
"Let's get down to business next."
The young man thought for a while and said, "What kind of excipients are qualified excipients? Although it was mentioned in your announcement, it was not detailed."
"First of all, auxiliary ingredients include seasonings and spices. Regarding the details of seasonings, you can't mix up the flavors just to confuse me, so I will eliminate some very excessive seasonings. As for what is excessive? It depends on you
It depends on the specific situation of the seasoning! Another thing is the amount of seasoning. You can't ask me to make a dish and put half a catty of salt, half a catty of sugar and half a catty of vinegar in it. If this is the case, the amount
I will also be reduced."
"As for spices, it's the same as seasonings. The premise is that you want to stump me, but what you give can't be too excessive."
"The so-called seasonings and spices all belong to the category of auxiliary materials. Since they are auxiliary materials, they are definitely not as important as the ingredients! If you really want to stump me, the focus should be on the ingredients, as long as they are indeed edible.
Ingredients, then I will cook them into delicious food that satisfies you. If you are not satisfied, you take away one million!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, the young man thought for a while and said, "Although what you said is still not detailed enough, I think I roughly understand what you mean. So be it! I will prepare the ingredients and seasonings now, and when I am ready
I’ll bring it here for you to take a look at. In addition, you have the right to deny me these things, and I also have the right not to let you cook them, right?”
"Of course! After you show me the ingredients and accessories, if I think it's okay, I will ask you again if you want me to cook. If you don't agree, you can leave with your money." Gu Zheng said
.
"One more thing, I want to watch your cooking process!" the young man said again.
"You can watch, but external reports are prohibited!" Gu Zheng said.
"Forbidden to spread outside the country? Can the words I asked you just now be allowed to spread outside the country?" the young man asked.
"You don't need to say anything to people outside. I have a video of our conversation. I will play the video outside the store and it will answer those questions on your behalf," Gu Zheng said.
The young man thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I don't have anything else to ask for now. I'll go prepare the ingredients and accessories."
"Can."
Gu Zheng stood up and seemed to be sending the young man out, but in fact he was holding him in place.
Gu Zheng erased the part about the conversation with the young man about the immortal cultivator from the young man's memory, and he would also erase this part of the video later.
There are also immortal cultivators on Fenglan Star, and Gu Zheng's identity cannot be hidden from such people. However, exposing his identity to a mortal like the young man will not do him any good. Anyway, whether it is lying or erasing the young man's memory
As long as he didn't cheat on his cooking skills, it didn't conflict with the task, so Gu Zheng just did it.
When the young man walked out of the store, the onlookers immediately asked him what he had asked in the store. Except for the part about immortal cultivators, the young man told him exactly what he had asked.
There were also regrets among the onlookers. They regretted that the young man didn't ask whether the shop owner was a cultivator. But the young man looked stunned and said that he had forgotten to ask about this matter.
Not long after the young man left, Gu Zheng played the video.
A thousand people may have a thousand questions, and it is impossible to list all the details on the bulletin board. The video screening for people who come to inquire can only be regarded as a supplement to the details in front of the public.
After the young man left, a customer who asked questions also came to the No. 2 store. The questions he asked were slightly different from the young man. Gu Zheng also released the video of his questioning.
