Gu Zheng had already gone downstairs. The shopkeeper and the head chef looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what to say at the moment. They had experienced Gu Zheng's extraordinary things firsthand. Although such a thing happened, it made people feel embarrassed, but they really wanted to find him again.

They are also already timid about the troubles caused by Guzheng.

The diners were talking quietly. They didn't know the difference between Gu Zheng's eyes and his voice. What they saw was that Piaoxiang Tower was in ruins.

"Bill, please!"

The man in white hesitated, put the money on the table, and quickly went downstairs to catch up with Gu Zheng.

"Your Excellency, please stay!"

The man in white saw Gu Zheng on the street corner.

"Um?"

Gu Zheng stopped and looked at the man in white who was chasing him.

"Bai Li, may I ask your surname?" the man in white saluted.

"Just call me Tie."

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and then said: "Are you thinking of asking me to be a chef?"

"How does Brother Tie know?"

Bai Li's eyes widened. He had already felt that Gu Zheng was extraordinary before, but now Gu Zheng directly saw through his mind. How could he not be shocked?

"As the saying goes, peers are enemies. It makes sense that the shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou doesn't like you. In Piaoxianglou, you wanted to see my cooking skills, and now you are chasing me. You also have the unique characteristics of people who often come in and out of the kitchen.

Taste, your thoughts are already very obvious." Gu Zheng smiled.

"Brother Tie is indeed an expert, so I can make it clear to you."

Bai Li paused and then began to tell.

Bai Li is a native of Qingfeng City. His family has been in business for generations, and among his properties is a restaurant called 'Kemanlou', which has always been the best restaurant in Qingfeng City.

Piaoxianglou opened in Qingfeng City only ten years ago. Because the shopkeeper is related to the city owner, and the cooking skills of Piaoxianglou are indeed better than that of Kemanlou. Nowadays, Kemanlou is already in short supply of diners.

Missing. The reason why Guzheng attracted Bai Li's attention was because he mentioned the 'Way of Diet' in Piaoxiang Tower. Although the meaning of 'The Way of Diet' is not difficult to understand, it was also Bai Li's first

The first time I heard someone describe his cooking skills in this way, I immediately felt that Gu Zheng was unusual and extremely professional. That's when I wanted to see Gu Zheng's cooking skills and let Gu Zheng serve as the head chef in a restaurant full of guests.

"As long as Brother Tie is willing to come to my full house and be the head chef, the salary can be negotiated easily," Bai Li said flatteringly.

"You don't even care whether my cooking skills are good or not. You just want to talk about the salary. How much salary are you going to pay me?" Gu Zheng asked.

"The head chef before the house was full, his salary was seventy taels of silver per month. If Brother Tie comes, how about I give Brother Tie one hundred taels? As for cooking skills, even if I don't have to try it, I still believe in Brother Tie's cooking skills.

Nothing to say!" Bai Li said, patting his chest.

"Why are you so confident?"

Bai Li's look made Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

"I feel that this thing is very important. I, Bai Li, feel that if I can do the business, I will rarely lose money!" Bai Li said confidently.

"Okay, I will accept this matter!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Is there any problem with the wages? If there is any problem with the wages, Brother Tie can raise it," Bai Li said.

"No problem, I'm not doing this for money."

Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he added: "Although you believe in my cooking skills, tasting is a necessary step. In addition, I have two conditions!"

"Brother Tie, please speak!" Bai Li said hurriedly.

"First, rename the restaurant as 'Jixiang Xiaozhu'. Second, I need to participate in the customization of some things regarding the prices of the dishes."

The name Jixiang Xiaozhu was the name used by Gu Zheng when he accepted the task of testing his cooking skills when he had not yet mastered the art of eating. Now that he wants to improve his art of eating, he has to practice again.

Since he entered the kitchen from the past, this name has special meaning to him. As for participating in the customization of dish prices, this is also part of Gu Zheng's arrogance. If you want to eat the dishes he cooks, the price is too low.

.

"no problem!"

Bai Li agreed to Gu Zheng's proposal without hesitation.

The Guest House is not too far away from the Piaoxiang Building. Both restaurants are located in the most prosperous areas of Qingfeng City. However, compared to the overcrowding of the Piaoxiang Building, the number of diners in the Guest House seems to be much less.

When Bai Li took Gu Zheng into the kitchen, the head chef and the chef were chatting. What surprised Gu Zheng was that the head chef who was full of guests turned out to be a cook.

The cook's name is Huang Ying, who is Bai Li's cousin. She is in her forties. Although she looks like a mature woman, when Bai Li said that Gu Zheng was the new head chef of the restaurant, her

His face was pulled down.

"Okay, I'm going to try it anyway, and I want to see what you're capable of!"

Huang Ying looked at Gu Zheng with provocative eyes. Naturally, several chefs were on Huang Ying's side, and their eyes were not very kind.

"Auntie!"

Bai Li shouted with a straight face, and Huang Ying's expression became somewhat restrained.

"What are you doing standing around here? Help the head chef!"

Gu Zheng was already looking for ingredients, and the few chefs who were standing around were scolded by Bai Li.

"It's okay. I'm going to do a tasting today. They can't help me much. I can just do it myself!"

What Gu Zheng wants to try is the four dishes and one soup he ordered at Piaoxiang Restaurant. The ingredients required for these four dishes and one soup are also available in the kitchen of the full house, but they cannot be stored in this area.

Gu Zheng's request, so he had to handle it personally.

"In the future, don't put meat together with vegetables and the like," Gu Zheng said.

"It doesn't matter if they are put together. After all, they need to be rinsed and washed during cooking." A chef named Li Tong said nonchalantly.

"Food materials have grades, and their grades are divided into: poisonous, garbage, low-grade, inferior, ordinary, medium, excellent, and high-grade."

Gu Zheng did not mention immortal products and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. These two levels of ingredients are unlikely to be accessible to mortal chefs.

"For example, these pork ribs are of inferior quality, but because you put them in unprocessed mountain delicacies, their meat quality has been contaminated, so they become low-quality ingredients.

.”

Gu Zheng threw the pork ribs stained with some dust into a basin of clean water, and the splash of water in the basin also woke up the slightly dazed chefs. They had never heard of ingredients before.

There is such a hierarchy.

"That's true. Isn't it just a little dirty? Just wash it and it will be clean!" Li Tong curled his lips and said.
