Chapter 70 The Immortal Uproots the Weeping Willow
"Chu Ci, do you want to make money?"
Hearing Gu Huangyan's gentle voice, Chu Ci's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
He looked at Gu Huangyan warily: "What are you going to do?"
"Just tell me if you want to make money."
"Of course I do, but I won't sell my body!"
"Bah!" Gu Huangyan spat lightly: "Thinking about these messy things all day long."
"Wait here, I have a good way to make money."
Under Chu Ci's confused gaze, Gu Huangyan took two fairy fruits and entered the kitchen.
After a while, she came out with a plate of golden dishes full of aroma and attractive color, and a cup of juice squeezed from the fairy fruit in her hand.
"Try it and see."
Chu Ci looked at the dishes on the table and fell into deep thought.
"Carrots?"
"That's right, it's made with your fairy fruit. How does it taste?"
"I think it's delicious when eaten dry, and you don't need to use it for cooking."
Although he said so, Chu Ci's body still honestly picked up a piece of fairy fruit covered in syrup.
As soon as you take the sugary fairy fruit in your mouth, the sweet flavor blooms on the tip of your tongue.
With a gentle bite, Chu Ci's eyes immediately lit up.
It’s so hot!
The moment the syrup skin broke, the pulp and juice inside couldn't wait to burst out, filling Chu Ci's mouth instantly.
The bursting juice is slightly acidic, which not only enhances appetite, but also perfectly matches the pulp of the fairy fruit to bring out its sweetness.
"This is... apple cider vinegar?!"
Chu Ci looked surprised.
Although it was very faint, his Heavenly Tongue could still taste it. The sour taste was obviously different from that of fairy fruit. It was unique to apple cider vinegar, and it was the kind of apple cider vinegar that was of excellent quality.
The crispy syrupy skin and soft pulp, the perfect mixture of slightly sour and sweet, form a perfect match with each other, giving the tip of the tongue a double contrasting stimulation at the moment of entry.
Coupled with the carefully prepared syrup and fairy juice, it will not taste greasy at all.
I have to admit that this dish of Guhuangyan takes the taste of fairy fruit to a new level and inspires another kind of taste.
Putting down his chopsticks, Chu Ci elegantly picked up the paper and wiped his mouth: "It tastes very good. Sister Gu, are you going to use this dish as a new dish in the shop?"
"No, the quality of this dish is still not good enough to be on the menu, so I won't cook it."
"Then this dish..."
"I won't do it, but that doesn't mean I won't let others do it."
Seeing Gu Huangyan's rare sweet smile, Chu Ci's heart trembled, and he cautiously said: "Are you... ready to let me do it?"
"That's right! If you cook this dish in the store, I won't take any money from the sale. I'll give it all to you."
"I can't!" Chu Ci shook his head crazily and refused without thinking: "I can't even stir-fry tomatoes, let alone such a difficult dish as carrots."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know it. I'll teach you." Gu Huangyan's smile looked malicious: "You don't have to worry about the difficulty. I have specially simplified the operation process of this dish. With your talent, you can quickly make it."
Learn."
"I think there's no need to go through all the trouble, just sell the fairy fruit." Chu Ci still wanted to struggle.
"Do you think you can sell it?" Gu Huangyan deceived Chu Ci earnestly.
"Your fairy fruit is a product of the virtual world. It is a new variety that is not found on the land of China. With the current level of smartness of human beings, they will not buy something of unknown origin, no matter how delicious it is, it is useless." p>
"Of course, if you sell them cheaply, someone will buy them and try them out, but are you willing to sell these fruits cheaply?"
"Those fruit vendors will not buy your fairy fruit. Not only is it expensive, but there is no stable supply, it is a one-time transaction, unless you want to give up your position as the patron saint and concentrate on being their fruit supplier."
"Taking a step back, there are really knowledgeable people who value your fairy fruit and buy it at a high price. But how long will it take? Are you sure you can persist until that time?"
"But it's different when I learn to cook. A fairy fruit can make a carrot, and when paired with juice, it can become a set meal. The price can be doubled several times."
"And customers don't have to worry about the source. Nowadays, Chef God's Shop is one of the landmark delicacies in Xiaocheng Dianping. With my endorsement, customers can rest assured."
"You don't have to go out on the street to look for buyers. You can just work comfortably in a store for a few days and make the money you want. Why not?"
After being fooled for a while, Chu Ci’s expression was confused.
Although what you said is right, I feel like you are lying to me.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Ci gave up thinking.
"Are you sure you can make money in just a few days?"
"You don't believe in the spending power of the customers in my store?" Gu Huangyan raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said boldly: "If you don't make any money, I will buy all your fairy fruits by then!"
Rich woman!
Chu Ci almost wanted to hug Gu Huangyan's thigh and ask for support.
In fact, Gu Huangyan's method is quite reliable. If possible, Chu Ci wouldn't want to drag a big sack around.
Anyway, this store has Chu Ci's shares, so it can be regarded as working for him, and he can still eat and drink in the store.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci nodded: "Okay, then I will work in the store for a few days!"
A smile appeared on Gu Huangyan's face, and she hummed a ditty happily, revealing a sense of joy that a great revenge was about to be avenged.
Chu Ci shivered inexplicably.
He should only come to the store to help for a few days, right?
"By the way, Sister Gu, what's the name for this carrot dish?"
"Well...even though it's your dish, it still has to match the atmosphere of the store. Let's just call it 'Fairy Uprooting the Weeping Willow'."
Chu Ci:......
The next day, Chu Ci became the chef of the God of Cookery's shop, helping Gu Huangyan, and by the way, he learned how to make "The Immortal Uproots the Weeping Willow".
The reason why she didn't start immediately was because Gu Huangyan had very high requirements for the dishes. Even if Chu Ci made the dishes, she would have to meet at least 70% of her standards before they could be served on the restaurant's table.
Obviously, Chu Ci did not meet the requirements, so Gu Huangyan began to conduct devil training on Chu Ci.
The training process was horrific, and Gu Huangyan vented all the resentment she had had since opening the store on Chu Ci in the name of training.
Fortunately, Chu Ci has a sense of nature and has amazing talents in controlling the temperature of the fire and the taste of the ingredients, and he was able to meet Gu Huangyan's requirements in just three days.
"You passed."
When Gu Huangyan said this reluctantly, Chu Ci was almost moved to tears.
Finally escaped from the clutches of the Valley Demon!
After passing the training, Chu Ci was promoted to the second chef of the restaurant. Gu Huangyan specially created an exclusive menu for Chu Ci and placed it behind the menu of the restaurant.
Chu Ci originally thought that good days would come after bidding farewell to devil training.
Whoever thinks so, that’s just the beginning of a nightmare!
