The idea of ​​forming a partner to raise one hundred thousand yuan made the crowd outside the strange store a little crazy, and many people began to look for partners. They knew everything about Gu Zheng outside the store, and there was a sinister smile on the corner of their mouths.

"What are you laughing at?" Qi Ling immediately asked.

"I'm not laughing at anything." Gu Zheng said solemnly.

"I found that you smiled, and I have a feeling that this smile has something to do with me!" Qi Ling stared at Gu Zheng and said.

"No, there are really none!"

Gu Zheng explained very seriously, but he smiled happily in his heart: "As the saying goes, if there is a first time, there will be a second time, hehehe..."

"Master, the way they thought is good! Shall we remind those people outside the other two strange shops?" Looking at the commotion outside, Die Ling said.

"No, this method is not difficult to think of. Those people outside the other two strange shops will think of it sooner or later. If they know it now, the business will be too busy." Gu Zheng said.

Soon, the four people who were originally determined to be a partner gathered up the money and prepared the ingredients, and returned to the Qidian again.

"It's written in the rules of the odd shop that idlers are not allowed to enter. Although we pooled our money, I don't think it's possible for all four of us to enter the shop." The fat man who suggested a partnership at first said.

"The rules of Qidian don't include collecting money. What if there are special circumstances? Let's ask and talk about it!" said the young man among the four.

"Some things don't need to be said too clearly. I think only one person must be allowed in." Said the elderly among the four.

"Let's ask first! If four people are really not allowed to go together, let's choose a representative!" said the middle-aged woman among the four.

"If you want to choose a representative, just choose me. I swear to God, I will be the most loyal to my partners!" The young man said with a smile.

"There is no need to discuss, you all come in!" Gu Zheng's voice sounded.

"Why did you let them all in? Are you not afraid of trouble?" Qi Ling frowned.

"Don't be afraid, there are already enough answers to questions on the bulletin board of Ruqi Store, and there is no trouble." Gu Zheng laughed.

"It stands to reason that only one person can pay 100,000 yuan. Since they took advantage of the odd store's rules and collected 100,000 yuan, then you can do their business. However, if you let four people into the store, the trouble is not limited to them. They must also want to taste the taste of your dishes! If you let four people taste the dishes, this is a violation of the rules!" Qi Ling reminded.

"Don't worry, I know!" Gu Zheng nodded.

"What are you going to do? If you have no purpose, you will definitely not let all four of them in. I suspect it has something to do with your smirk before!"

Qi Ling looked at Gu Zheng suspiciously, she did not forget Gu Zheng's sinister smile before.

"Just wait and see, won't you know when the time comes?" Gu Zheng said.

The four partners had already taken their seats, and Gu Zheng said, "It's not in compliance with the rules to let the four of you in! But since you've all come in, I have to explain something in advance. The dishes can only be served by one person. Come and taste, there is no room for negotiation on this point, you decide to name a representative to taste the dishes!"

Seeing Gu Zheng's firm attitude, the four of them did not "bargain" because of this, and they quickly decided on a representative. This representative was not the young man who recommended himself outside the door, but the fat man who first suggested the partnership.

After deciding to be a representative, the four of them didn't have too many questions. After they simply asked Gu Zheng a few words, the fat man put the prepared ingredients on the table.

"Shopkeeper, what do you think of these ingredients?" the fat man asked.

The fat man brought a lot of ingredients and accessories, but none of them violated the regulations.

"There is no problem with the ingredients, swear it!" Gu Zheng said.

The fat man swore immediately, and Gu Zheng also entered the kitchen with ingredients and accessories.

"Master, what is the difficulty of cooking this time?" Die Ling asked curiously as he looked at a large pile of ingredients.

"The quality of the ingredients is not high, which is also a common phenomenon in the business received so far. It is also a common difficulty to blend various kinds of ingredients and accessories. In addition to these two points, the customers brought Among the ingredients, the most difficult to deal with is the 'green-black snake'. Apart from being poisonous to a certain extent, the green-black snake has a bad smell. Although it is an ingredient, it is generally not eaten by anyone. So There are too many garbage accessories, plus the hard-to-handle green snake, this is why the guests think that I can't make delicious food!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and began to process the ingredients. While Gu Zheng was processing the ingredients, someone knocked on the door of No. 2 Strange Store, so Gu Zheng could only let Die Ling go there first.

It took an incense stick of time before and after, Gu Zheng cooked the ingredients provided by the fat man into food.

The fat men were very nervous. The color and aroma of the dishes had already exceeded their expectations.

"Try it quickly!"

Seeing that the fat man was afraid to move his chopsticks, the young man urged him on.

"good!"

The fat man gritted his teeth, picked up a piece of black and green snake meat and put it in his mouth.

"It's over!"

The fat man had just chewed, but the middle-aged woman couldn't help but screamed.

"What's over? Crow mouth!"

The young man glared at the middle-aged woman, but his heart had already sunk to the bottom. When the fat man chewed the black and green snake meat just now, it made people want to swallow their saliva. Each of them could smell it.

After eating a piece of black and green snake meat, the fat man immediately tried other ingredients. His hands trembled a little, so that the food he picked up fell back onto the plate twice.

If the hearts of the companions have sunk to the bottom, then the heart of the fat man is already in despair! If the green and black snake meat can be cooked to such a delicious level, the rest of the dishes will naturally taste the same.

Although he already had the consciousness of losing, the fat man still tasted all the food on the plate, even the soup.

"how?"

Seeing that the fat man finally took the spoon, the young man asked with a bitter face.

The fat man smiled wryly at his companions and shook his head, then looked at Gu Zheng and said, "I'm also a chef, but I really didn't expect so many ingredients and accessories, plus green snakes that make me want to The food that looks disgusting, you can actually cook it so that I can pick out the delicious food! I lost, and I am convinced!"

The fat man smiled uglier than crying, and the rest of the people all had the same reaction. Their eyes coincidentally looked at the one hundred thousand yuan they brought.

Being able to choose a partner already shows that the financial conditions of fat men are not very affluent, and 25,000 is not necessarily a small number for them.

"Let's go, let's learn a lot of wisdom!"

The old man got up first, and the other three didn't say much, they all stood up after him.

"Everyone wait!" Gu Zheng said.

Everyone turned their heads, their eyes slightly puzzled.

"I have something to say! If you want to hear what I'm going to say next, now swear not to leak the content of our next conversation. If you don't want to listen, you can leave now." Gu Zheng said.

After the four looked at each other, they were finally overwhelmed by curiosity, and they each swore a poisonous oath that they would never tell the truth.

After the four of them finished their vows, Gu Zheng looked at the fat man and said, "If you have another chance, can you provide ingredients that are more difficult to cook than this time?"

"What are you doing?"

The fat man didn't even say a word, but Qi Ling's eyes widened.

"Hush!"

Gu Zheng blinked at Qi Ling and motioned her to read on.

The fat man looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief. Seeing Gu Zheng's serious face, he said: "If I can do it again, I will provide more difficult ingredients than this time! This time because I was too anxious Win, so I didn’t go further afield to find what I dreamed of!”

"Do you have a definite goal for the ideal you mentioned?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"Yes! It's a kind of wild vegetable in the countryside. I ate it to fill my stomach when I was young. I think it must be more difficult to handle it than green snakes." The fat man affirmed.

"This time you lost, I should win you 100,000 yuan. Our previous business is over."

Gu Zheng paused, and then looked at everyone: "Now, I want to do business with you all. If you are willing to do this business, then prepare the ingredients that you think can stump me. After you bring the ingredients, I will lend you 100,000 yuan! If the ingredients you bring can beat me, you can get 1 million. If you can’t beat me, you will naturally owe me 100,000 yuan. Are you willing to do this business with me? ?”

"I do!"

The fat man was the first to speak.

The rest of the people are still hesitating, how could there be a pie in the sky? But seeing that the fat man had already spoken, the young man immediately said that he was willing too.

"Shopkeeper, what is your purpose for doing this?" the old man asked cautiously.

"It's written on the bulletin board outside the store that my purpose of opening the store is not to win your money, but to do a difficult task." Gu Zheng said.

"Shopkeeper, if I am willing, but in the end I lost again, when will I pay you back the 100,000 yuan?" the middle-aged woman asked.

"Send it to me in two months." Gu Zheng said.

"Are there any other additional conditions, just that you lend us money and let us help you complete the task?" The middle-aged woman asked again.

"It's really that simple, but I want to remind you that this statue belongs to the immortal family. If you don't keep your vows to it, your vows will definitely come true!" Gu Zheng said.

No one spoke, and all four of them were thinking about it.

After a while, Gu Zheng said, "Tell me about your decision!"

"I do!"

It was the middle-aged man who spoke first.

"I have another question!" the young man said.

"Say!" Gu Zheng looked at the young man.

"Can we go back on our word before handing over the ingredients to you?" the young man asked.

"You brought the ingredients again, and after I have seen it, I will still ask you if you want me to cook! Do you understand what I mean?" Gu Zheng said.

"The owner means that once we agree to let you cook, the business will be considered effective. Before the business becomes effective, we have the right to end the business at any time?" the middle-aged woman said.

"That's right, that's what it means!"

"Okay, I am willing too!" said the middle-aged woman.

"Me too!" said the young man.

"You seem to have something to say?"

Gu Zheng looked at the old man who had been frowning and hesitating to speak.

"I do have something to say, but I dare not say it!" said the old man.

"You can say whatever you want, I don't know how to eat people!" Gu Zheng laughed.

"Can you say anything?" the old man asked.

"certainly!"

Gu Zheng smiled again, and then said: "Actually, I can guess what you want to say. Even if you don't say these words, I will ask everyone! Although you three have agreed, I still want to I would like to remind you that there are risks in everything. Although this business does not seem to require you to pay for the time being, and there will be huge rewards if you win! However, even if you bring more difficult ingredients, you will still lose It’s possible! Once I lose, I will send me money after two months, and this also needs to be sworn! Although I want to complete the task earlier, I don’t want you to lose your reason because of it.”

"I've considered everything that should be considered, and I'm still willing! If I still lose when I bring the ingredients next time, I will pay you back 100,000 yuan within two months!" the fat man said.

"Let me think about it again, one hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount after all!"

"I'll think about it again!"

The middle-aged women and young men who were originally willing, after being reminded by Gu Zheng, all became more cautious.

"I do!"

It was quite surprising that the old man, who had always been cautious, made the opposite decision at this time.

"What the shopkeeper reminded me before is exactly what I want to tell you, but I dare not say it! Now that the shopkeeper has said so, I'm not afraid that there is something tricky in it! I can still get 100,000 yuan It can be seen that I am also very greedy for the owner's one million yuan! When I have prepared the ingredients, I will come to the starting point to have a try." The old man smiled.

"There is still more time, and you can all think about it seriously!"

Gu Zheng made a gesture to see off the guests, there are still guests waiting for him at No. 2 Strange Store, and he has already wasted a lot of time here.

"hey-hey."

After the four guests left Qidian, Gu Zheng smiled at Qi Ling who had been keeping a straight face.

"Toss, let's toss! Anyway, the guests who come like this don't count!" Qi Ling said angrily.

"Don't! How can this not count?" Gu Zheng said with a hippie smile.

"Why doesn't it count? You have broken rules!" Qi Ling gave Gu Zheng a hard look.

"This is not a bad rule!"

Gu Zheng also became serious, and he said seriously: "First of all, the purpose of the rules set by Lord Tiexian is to test my cooking skills. Do you think that my doing so will affect the test of cooking skills? Just like that fat man, The first time was obviously insufficient preparation, I gave him a second chance, his preparation will be more sufficient, and the cooking of the ingredients will be more difficult by then! In this way, won’t it test my cooking skills more? ?”

"Hmph, you are changing the concept secretly! As Master Tiexian's apprentice, you actually gave them money to help you complete the cooking test! If this is possible, Master Tiexian will not need any threshold at all, just Let them come here at will, as long as you win, you will be rewarded, can't you get it?"

Qi Ling's eyes were a little red, something Gu Zheng rarely saw.

"It's different! Isn't there a threshold for this? It's just that I will pay the money for the time being, and they owe it first. The money will be paid back in two months. It's like using the money to do business. For testing cooking skills, Is there really a big difference?" Gu Zheng sighed.

"Don't think I don't know. If they lose and obediently send money over in two months, will you really want it? Huh, anyway, your wings are hard now, and I can't control you anymore. Master Tiexian decided Rules, you can change it if you say so!"

Qi Ling wept, but she didn't seem to want Gu Zheng to see her cry, and she wiped away the tears as soon as they rolled down.

"Although the last time I met the master was very short, I don't think he is a stickler for details. I believe he won't blame me for this. What he values ​​more is my cooking skills. Whether I have achieved great success or not!"

Gu Zheng's voice paused, and his face turned soft: "Okay, don't cry, it won't be pretty anymore!"

"snort!"

Qi Ling snorted vigorously, and lowered her head not to look at Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng still saw her teardrops rolling down quickly.

"Why!"

Gu Zheng sighed, helpless that he couldn't touch it.

With a change of vision, Gu Zheng came to the No. 2 strange shop through the teleportation array.

"Owner."

Seeing Gu Zheng approaching, Die Ling went to meet him.

"Where are the guests?" Gu Zheng asked.

"I can't wait for you to leave, so I'll come back later."

Seeing that Gu Zheng's expression was a little strange, Die Ling obediently said nothing, and poured him a cup of tea silently.

Gu Zheng looked at Qi Ling, and saw that Qi Ling had stopped crying and was sitting on a stone in the garden in a daze.

"Look, how beautiful you look when you don't cry?" Gu Zheng said solemnly.

"Why!"

Qi Ling sighed, and complained to Gu Zheng: "The media's exposure effect will be produced soon, why do you want to deal with these moths?"

"It's nothing, I just want to finish the task quickly." Gu Zheng shrugged.

"Even if you complete the task ahead of time, there is no special reward for completing the task ahead of time this time!" Qi Ling said.

"But it can save time! Staring at Qidian every day, I can't practice properly." Gu Zheng smiled wryly.

"It's only three months in total, I really have no patience at all!"

Qi Ling gave Gu Zheng a blank look: "The test that mortals can give you is not the most important thing, but what the cultivators give you is! Even if you get a lot of mortals' customers, I won't let them all count."

"Then quickly reach the amount in your heart, and then focus on cultivating immortals, which will save you precious time!" Gu Zheng put on a very motivated expression.

"To save time, you need to change the rules? The rules set by Lord Tiexian have been completely changed by you!" Qi Ling said helplessly.

"It's fine, as long as it can be changed, as long as it doesn't conflict with the general direction, how about changing it appropriately and saving time for me to practice? Don't worry, if Lord Tiexian gets angry because of this matter, I will definitely bear it for you! "

Gu Zheng patted his serious face on his chest, making Qi Ling smile "puchi".

"That's what you said, if Lord Tiexian blames it, you have to bear it for me!" Qi Ling said seriously.

"No problem!" Gu Zheng laughed.

"Damn it, I finally know what your sinister smile meant at that time. Some things really can't indulge you. If you do it once, there will be a second time!"

Qi Ling Chonggu Zheng gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to bite someone.

"Haha!" Gu Zheng laughed.

Die Ling didn't know the content of the exchange between Gu Zheng and Qi Ling. Seeing the smile on Gu Zheng's face, Die Ling said: "By the way, master, the guest who couldn't wait for you just now is a cultivator!"
