Tiexian heirs in the city

Facing Han Zhe's question, Gu Zheng smiled.

The rules of Qidian are set by Tiexian, and the floating mentioned by Han Zhe definitely grasped a very powerful point!

It is allowed to add auxiliary ingredients that do not exist in the dishes ordered, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of Gu Zheng's cooking, and as a descendant of Tiexian, as long as the ingredients provided by customers are not particularly excessive, Gu Zheng will put them in.

Just like brown sugar and lard in "Cold Preserved Eggs", can brown sugar and lard really not be used in this dish? For ordinary fairy chefs, it is better not to add these two things! Especially lard, it doesn't do much good in the whole cold dish.

But for Gu Zheng, if Jin Yu ordered 'Cold Preserved Eggs' at the beginning, he would also add brown sugar and lard! Although this will make the cooking of the whole dish much more difficult, what he is doing is the task of "Culinary Mastery", and he can't choose to give up the task just because he is worried about failing the task. This is not the attitude he should have as a Tiexian heir!

"That's right, there are fluctuations, but what kind of fluctuations, I have to look at the ingredients you provided before I can decide." Gu Zheng said.

"good."

Han Zhe nodded, and then opened the incubator he brought.

"The dish I ordered is 'Leek Box'. Here are the ingredients and ingredients for making 'Chive Box' and a sample."

According to the rules of Qidian, if you order a dish, you must provide one dish. After all, Feng Lan Xing is somewhat different from the earth. Some of the delicacies here are delicious, and Gu Zheng has not necessarily seen them all.

Although it is a relatively strict rule that samples are required for ordering dishes, snacks such as 'leek boxes' are relatively common in China, and Gu Zheng had eaten them in the early years.

"That's right, this 'leek box' should be regarded as a must in your local area, right?" Gu Zheng said.

The 'leek box' placed in the insulated box has a beautiful burnt yellow appearance, and the fillings are vermicelli, leeks and eggs, revealing a fried burnt aroma and the aroma of leeks and eggs.

Although Gu Zheng didn't taste the 'Leek Box', he could tell that this 'Leek Box' would definitely have an attractive crisp sound when it was cut out of the pan! And the fragrance at that time, the average person will have a great appetite after smelling it. Although it is just a simple 'leek box', there is really work in it.

"That's right, this is indeed unique in our local area." Han Zhe said proudly.

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and began to carefully look at the ingredients provided by Han Zhe.

"Remove the wormwood."

An emotionless voice suddenly appeared in Gu Zheng's mind.

Artemisia conifer is a unique regional ingredient on Fenglanxing. It can only grow within a certain range near the Kunlun Mountains. Its leaves are as crisp as jade and have a special fragrance. It can be used as a spice or as a vegetable.

"Why?" Gu Zheng asked back.

Although Gu Zheng heard this strange voice for the first time, he knew that the thing making the voice was the Taotie statue! However, the Taotie statue did not respond to his rhetorical question.

"Qi Ling, what's going on?" Gu Zheng asked Qi Ling.

"Didn't I tell you when you received the task of 'Great Cooking Skills'? The Taotie statue will remind you to reduce the ingredients or accessories provided by diners under certain circumstances!" Qi Ling said.

"But the situation you mentioned is only when there is a serious conflict between the ingredients or accessories provided by the diners and the food I am about to cook!" Gu Zheng said.

"Will Artemisia conifer conflict with 'Leek Box'?" Qi Ling asked back.

"No conflict! But if Artemisia conifer is added, the taste of 'Leek Box' will be greatly improved!" Gu Zheng said.

"That means, once you have Artemisia coniferus, you can win easily, right?" Qi Ling asked again.

"That's right!" Gu Zheng said.

"This is the purpose of the Taotie statue asking you to remove the wormwood. If there is wormwood, the 'leek box' this time, even an ordinary first-grade fairy chef, can do well, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed as you said!"

Originally just curious, after Qi Ling's explanation, Gu Zheng also thought about it, anyway, what he has to do is a difficult test! Adding or not adding Artemisia coniferus to the 'Leek Box' really falls into two levels of difficulty.

"In the 'leek box' sample dish you provided, the ingredients that make up the filling are eggs, leeks and vermicelli, but in the accessories you provided, there are more fungus, chives and wormwood. If you are sure about it' Let me make the leek box, and I will remove the wormwood!" Gu Zheng said.

"Are you going to remove the coniferous wormwood?"

Han Zhe widened his eyes, and then said, "Can you tell me why you want to remove Artemisia coniferus?"

"I removed Artemisia coniferi not because it conflicted with the 'leek box', but because of its existence, if you want to use the 'leek box' to stump me, it will become more difficult!"

Gu Zheng explained with a smile, but Han Zhe looked very suspicious. He felt that Gu Zheng was not telling the truth.

"If I emphasized the addition of Artemisia coniferus, would you not accept this business?" Han Zhe asked.

For Han Zhe, if Gu Zheng really wanted to get rid of Artemisia coniferus, then he really had to think carefully about whether to continue.

Gu Zheng understands Han Zhe's doubts, and he is helpless about it. After all, it is human nature to doubt.

"You can choose to promise him!"

Qi Ling's voice rang in Gu Zheng's mind, and in her opinion, Han Zhe's reaction was purely ignorant of good people.

"Can this be done?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Okay! Anyway, you can make a delicious 'leek box' with or without Artemisia coniferus. If that's the case, so what if you make him perfect?" Qi Lingqi exclaimed.

"Are you sure you want me to add wormwood to the 'Chive Box'? I'm not lying, the addition of wormwood will indeed make the 'Chive Box' more delicious!"

Gu Zheng asked very seriously. Although Qi Ling was telling the truth, he was more willing to do difficult things. However, there is still some laziness in Gu Zheng's bones! If Han Zhe still chooses to let him join Artemisia coniferus, then he doesn't mind Quan Han Zhe.

There is no reason at all, Han Zhe said firmly: "I am sure to add Artemisia coniferouse to the 'Leek Box'!"

"Can!"

Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled: "Swear! I'll make you a 'leek box' after you swear."

"good!"

Han Zhe didn't say anything, and Dang even made a poisonous oath.

Watching Gu Zheng enter the kitchen with ingredients, Han Zhe frowned tightly.

The sample dish that Han Zhe brought was indeed the popular 'leek box' in his snack bar. But in the 'leek box' he asked Gu Zheng to make, there were more fungus, chives and wormwood! And these three extra ingredients were not added impromptu by Han Zhe.

The Han family's 'leek box' is a famous local snack, but this famous snack has been broken in the turbulent period more than a hundred years ago!

To be precise, the person who really mastered the secret recipe of the 'Leek Box' is Han Zhe's great-grandfather. However, he is not Han Zhe's great-great-grandfather, he and Han Zhe's great-grandfather are cousins. Before the dynasties occurred, there was no one in Han Zhe’s blood line of his great-great-grandfather who was in the business of snacks like ‘leek boxes’.

During that turbulent period, the branch of the Han family that made the 'leek box' was wiped out, and the secret recipe did not remain at all! Han Zhe's great-grandfather decided to start the "leek box" business entirely because he had a little impression of his cousin's "leek box" and groped bit by bit until it became a relatively famous snack.

However, today's Han family all know that the "leek box" they are now praised by diners is not authentic! According to their great-grandfather, the taste of the 'leek box' before the dating is as good as today's 'leek box' by a few blocks. As for the "leek box" before dating, in addition to leeks, eggs, and vermicelli, the fillings also included fungus, chives, and wormwood!

Han Zhe's great-grandfather also tried to add three ingredients, fungus, chives and wormwood, in the process of exploring the recipe of the "leek box". But it is a pity that no matter how the ratio of these three ingredients is matched, the effect is not as good as just adding leeks, eggs and vermicelli!

The "leek box" of that year has become a legend. The descendants of the Han family who took over the snack bar in the past have also studied the legendary ingredients, but they have never been able to use these ingredients to make a delicious "leek box".

Han Zhe has also done some research on the 'leek box', and the reason why he insisted on putting Artemisia coniferii in the 'leek box' is not just a suspicion.

"When I was young, I heard from my grandfather that after Grandpa Zeng got old, it was impossible to be sure whether Artemisia coniferus was used in the legendary 'leek box'! He even doubted that the 'leek box' back then In the recipe, the ingredients used just look like Artemisia coniferus."

Looking at Gu Zheng who was processing the ingredients in the kitchen, Han Zhe's memories surged in his mind. He not only remembered what his grandfather said back then, but also remembered another thing.

Han Zhe was lucky enough to come into contact with a fairy chef. He once provided relatively perfect ingredients to the fairy chef, and asked the fairy chef to restore the deliciousness of the "leek box". But it's a pity, as soon as the fairy chef smelled the smell of wormwood, he said clearly that the combination of wormwood with other ingredients will only produce bad results!

It was for these reasons that Han Zhe rejected Gu Zheng's proposal. In his opinion, Artemisia coniferus was the key to whether he could win the million.

Gu Zheng is already processing the ingredients. For the 'leek box' to be made this time, the items provided by Han Zhe are: oil, salt, five-spice powder, flour, eggs, leeks, chives, vermicelli, fungus and wormwood.

Among the things provided by Han Zhe, except for the low-grade Artemisia coniferouse, there are certain problems in the rest. For example, almost unusable flour, poor quality oil, and the use of chemical additives, resulting in toxic vermicelli and fungus and so on.

Among the things Han Zhe provided, the most difficult thing for Gu Zheng to deal with was flour.

Normal flour is white, but the flour provided by Han Zhe is slightly yellowed! In the eyes of normal people, this kind of flour has gone bad. Except for a little peculiar smell, any pasta made with it will have a texture that is not strong enough.

Soak the ingredients as they should be, steam them as they should, and when they are in a hurry, Gu Zheng starts to pack the flour given by Han Zhe.

For the slightly yellowish flour, Gu Zheng poured all of it into a basin, added a lot of water and began to wash it.

With the Eye of Dao combined with the Water Control Art, Gu Zheng literally separated the flour! He discarded all the bad things, and the poured water was not white at all, while the batter left at the bottom of the basin turned a lot whiter. However, this white is still different from normal white.

Seeing that Gu Zheng left all the flour on the bottom of the basin with magical means, Han Zhe couldn't help but asked, "Are you a fairy chef?"

Seeing Han Zhe's affirmative gaze, Gu Zheng asked back, "Have you seen the fairy chef?"

"I saw one two years ago." Han Zhe said.

"If I were a fairy chef, would you be afraid?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will use Xianjia's means to win my one hundred thousand yuan." Han Zhe told the truth.

"Haha..." Gu Zheng laughed.

Han Zhe looked embarrassed, shook his head and said: "If you are really a fairy chef, you won't care about my 100,000 yuan!"

"No matter what I am, you just need to remember that I won't play tricks to win your 100,000 yuan, I have my principles of doing things!" Gu Zheng said seriously.

"Hopefully!"

Han Zhe was still a little worried, but Gu Zheng didn't say anything, and started to process the batter in the basin.

The five-element celestial ball in his body vibrated slightly, and the heat was emitted from Gu Zhanshou. The batter stirred by him was steaming, and soon reached the appropriate degree of dryness and wetness.

Through heat treatment, the original smell of flour has been completely lost. As for its lack of essence, Gu Zheng decided to make up for it with eggs.

Han Zhe provided Gu Zheng with an egg. After Gu Zheng separated the egg white from the egg liquid, he added the egg liquid into the dough and continued kneading.

The quality of the ingredients cannot be improved, all Gu Zheng can do is to make a little change to the ingredients. Therefore, the use of the wood control technique allowed the flour to undergo a simple reorganization and change under the observation of the eye of the Tao.

"A little more force will be considered a violation!"

At the same time as the Taotie statue's voice sounded, Gu Zheng had stopped using the Wood Control Art. He had no intention of cheating, so he naturally knew where the boundaries of change and improvement were.

The processed dough can be left for the time being, and the next thing to deal with is Artemisia coniferouse.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was going to deal with the wormwood, Han Zhe immediately got up and stared at him intently.

It's a pity that what happened next made Han Zhe sit down in a chair dejectedly. Because, Gu Zheng's treatment of Artemisia coniferus is very simple. He just washed Artemisia coniferus in clean water, and then the water turned a little green, so he took out Artemisia coniferus again.

Decadence, the real dejection lingers in Han Zhe's mind.

When he decided to come to Qidian before, although Han Zhe dare not say that he was full of confidence, he felt that there was a 90% chance of winning. Even when it was time to swear that Gu Zheng would make the 'leek box', Han Zhe still felt that there was an 80% chance of winning!

However, following Gu Zheng's handling of the ingredients, until he used unconventional means to wash the wormwood, Han Zhe's heart really sank to the bottom of the valley. He suddenly felt that the fairy chef he knew might not be as powerful as he imagined! For a long time, Gu Zheng has always been so calm and breezy, this kind of aura that he didn't pay much attention to at first, but now that he thinks about it, it has never appeared on the fairy chef he knows! Moreover, after feeling that things were going to develop in a bad direction, the calmness of Gu Zheng almost made Han Zhe a little breathless.

Looking at the 100,000 yuan on the table, Han Zhe saw his wife again. Even though losing 100,000 yuan would not make their life difficult, but 100,000 yuan is also the hard-earned money for him to work hard from day to day! He originally wanted to use the 100,000 yuan to win a better future for his wife, but now he feels that he is spending money to buy a lesson.

"Shopkeeper, is it okay to add the coniferous wormwood that you have treated like this to the 'leek box'?"

Han Zhe, who felt uncomfortable in his heart, seemed a little difficult to speak.

"Yes."

Gu Zheng responded, and asked casually: "Before you emphasized the addition of Artemisia coniferus, is it very special to you?"

"That's right, the Immortal Chef I told you about before, he made it clear as soon as he smelled Artemisia coniferus that Artemisia coniferus is not suitable to be added to the 'Leek Box'."

Han Zhe shook his head and sighed, and then told Gu Zheng the story of his ancestors.

After listening to Han Zhe's narration, Gu Zheng smiled: "Tell me this, do you think you will definitely lose?"

"Although I don't want to admit defeat, I think this should be the result now." Han Zhe smiled wryly.

"If you really lose this time, do you want to win again?"

Die Ling, who had been silent all this time, spoke. She doesn't like diners who admit defeat, she only likes diners who refuse to admit defeat! Therefore, she also hopes that Han Zhe is the kind of person who refuses to admit defeat.

"I don't want to." Han Zhe said.

"You think you are sure of winning, that's why you came to Qidian. But now, you probably have no other way to win, so you thought of retreating?"

Die Ling smiled, she wanted to arouse Han Zhe's fighting spirit.

"I really don't have a second way to think I can win."

Han Zhe shrugged his shoulders, and then said seriously: "However, even if there is a second way, I will not try again. I promised my wife, whether I win or lose, I will only come to Qidian this time!"

The reason given by Han Zhe made Die Ling instantly lose interest in provoking generals. Although she hoped that Gu Zheng would end the test soon, she also understood that in the face of such reasons, Gu Zheng did not want her to go provocative again.

"If you lose, will your wife blame you when you go back?" Die Ling asked casually.

"No, she agreed to my coming to Qidian. However, I hope she blames me, because her comfort will make me feel even more uncomfortable!" Han Zhe said.

Die Ling didn't say anything else, she looked at Gu Zheng in the kitchen, and felt that Gu Zheng, who was still processing the ingredients, seemed a little distracted.

"What's wrong? In the words of this world, have you been given dog food?"

Qi Ling's voice rang in Gu Zheng's mind, drawing Gu Zheng's fierce eyes.
