Chapter 18 – A Feeling of Shock

Treating and giving, there really wasn't much of a difference. For a moment, Gu Zheng couldn't tell the difference.

”How come I could give food to my friends in the earlier test, why is it different now?”

Gu Zheng's point was argument that when he made the honey chicken and sorghum rice for w.a.n.g Tao and the others, he had pa.s.sed after they stated it was the best food they had ever eaten. It had opened the Great Desolate s.p.a.ce, as well as won him the Immortal Essence Dan and fried egg Cooking Skill.

”Earlier, you used your own cooking skills, that was fine. However, now you are using master G.o.d of Gluttony's cooking skill, so it is no longer permitted!”

The spirit device spoke toughly, and Gu Zheng could no longer argue. Meanwhile, Shu Yu stared at him with wide eyes open, wanting to determine whether he was joking or not.

At this moment, Shu Yu still couldn't believe Gu Zheng really wanted to sell fried eggs, and even sell them for 88 RMB each.

”Shu Yu, please trust me. If I cause you a loss, I will be sure to compensate you!”

Shu Yu had been staring at him, so he whispered to her. He didn't dare to mention the matter of Shu Yu eating the fried egg. He wasn't able to reason with the spirit device. Since allowing her to try a fried egg would lead to him failing the test, Gu Zheng silently cried inside.

”It's your choice.”

After staring at Gu Zheng for a full five minutes, Shu Yu could only helplessly agree. Gu Zheng wasn't kidding, and she had promised him, so there was no longer any reason to regret it.

She had no problem with Gu Zheng selling fried eggs. The key problem was the set price for the fried egg. It looked like a joke. Even if they were using those good eggs, they should only cost around three fifty or so. Along with the other ingredients, it would be 4 RMB. However, the price he wanted was 88 it was almost more than twenty times the original price. If it was sold, then it would bring huge profits.

The most important thing was that she had only recently started her business here. She had a price-friendly strategy, and Gu Zheng's high-priced fried egg would definitely affect the image of her prices. So she felt quite uncomfortable.

Gu Zheng had seen all of Shu Yu's reactions, and felt a sense of helplessness.

If he had the choice, he would be fine with selling his fried eggs for 4 RMB. It would be fine if he didn't make money, as long as he generated reputation. However, that d.a.m.n spirit device refused to agree, it was truly abusing it's authority. Asking this and that of him, when he had yet to start.

If Gu Zheng could meet the G.o.d of Gluttony and speak to him, the first thing he would do would be to ask, ”Is allowing your spirit device to bully your disciple like this, is it really okay?”

Within the kitchen of Shu Yu's small shop, there were two chefs. One was responsible for making the wonton, while the other made rice noodles and other foods. He was also responsible for the fried eggs. The eggs priced at 2 and 5 RMB at the store were made by him.

Sith Gu Zheng in the kitchen, it looked somewhat crowded.

The two cooks weren't that old, they looked to be around 27 years old. They looked at Gu Zheng strangely.

Yesterday they were here, today they were also here. They knew about the requirement of Gu Zheng, but the also knew about the price that he set the fried egg. It was an astronomical price. They had agreed with the boss, they both didn't know what to think, they had thought it was a joke.

”Sorry, I want to use my own pan!”

GU Zheng whispered to the two of them. The spirit device didn't require Gu Zheng to use his own pan, but he knew how to use this one properly. If he used this restaurant’s, he didn't know how many times he would have to try in order to meet the spirit devices standards.

The spirit device had long since decreed that no ingredients except for the ones listed below could be used.

Using the spring mineral water imported from france, he washed it carefully. Gu Zheng lit the flame and turned it to medium heat. The other two chefs paused their work and crossed their arms as they were more interested in watching Gu Zheng.

LIght the flame, heat the pan.

He poured a tablespoon of sesame oil. As the sesame oil poured out and was heated, a colorful fragrance released. A few guests of the wonton restaurant turned around in curiosity. The open kitchen allowed for the aroma to flow out quickly.
