Chapter 346 Various Invitations

"That's not the case. The quantity of the secret recipe is limited, and the feeding is also limited. It doesn't matter if there are Lucai chickens other than the secret recipe!"

Gu Zheng shook his head again. Boss He was a businessman, so there was no need to make the relationship too tense. After all, they were both from the same place. They had their own secret recipe for chicken, so just provide it to him.

"Master Xiang, there is one more thing I want to do when I come here this time. I am going to increase the purchase price of Wang's roast chicken by ten yuan per catty, and the retail price will also be raised to the same price as Tongzi chicken!"

Gu Zheng turned his head again and said something to Xiang Ming.

Raise the price of roast chicken and bring the price of roast chicken to the same level as bucket chicken. This is what Gu Zheng thought before.

In fact, the production cost of these two kinds of chicken is not very different. The reason why there was a price difference in the beginning is because the one Xiang Ming sold before was not expensive. He only sold this kind of roast chicken. If it was too expensive, no one would eat it. .

The reason why Shaw's prices are higher is because they also have ordinary bucket chicken. Even if this kind of chicken is not sold, they are not afraid.

This means that Xiang Ming's supply price has always been lower than that of Shaw Brothers. Gu Zheng didn't have time to take care of this matter before. Now that he knows it, he definitely can't just sit back and ignore it. Xiang Ming has always supported him and stood by him. The people on his side are considered his own people, and he cannot let his own people feel cold at all costs.

In addition to increasing the purchase price of roast chicken, Gu Zheng also plans to ask Xiang Kai to come over and let him learn from Gao Changhe first. If he is talented, he can be asked to take over Gao Changhe's class in the future. Similarly, he will also be given to him in the future. He allocated a house in Shanghai, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

For Xiang Ming, this was a complete surprise.

The cost of his and Shaw's bucket chickens is about the same. He has known this for a long time, and he also knows that his own is cheaper, but their prices were like this before, and he never thought about anything else, let alone any complaints.

It can be said that he did not expect that Gu Zheng would take the initiative to increase the price.

Now his costs have not increased compared to before. Such a direct price increase is equivalent to a lot more profit for him. An extra ten yuan per catty, five hundred chickens per day, and thousands of catties, is equivalent to tens of thousands more income. It is also equivalent to directly doubling his profits.

This is definitely a great gift for Xiang Ming.

"Master Gu, this can't be done, it can't be done, there is no reason to raise the price!"

Xiang Ming is a real person. Gu Zheng took the initiative to raise the price. He was still shaking his head to refuse. Gu Zheng looked at him and smiled again. Such a real person cannot let him suffer.

"Master Xiang, let's settle it like this. In fact, it was my negligence at the beginning. I should have unified the prices of roast chicken and bucket chicken a long time ago, so that it would be more convenient for us to sell!"

The price of the two types of chicken is different, which actually has a drawback.

That is in Shanghai, some people think that bucket chicken is better than roasted chicken. After all, it is more expensive. Is the more expensive one better? They have no idea that the cost difference between the two kinds of chicken is only one or two yuan, so they are completely equal. level products.

Gu Zheng unilaterally raised the price of roast chicken to eliminate this perception and let others know that roast chicken and bucket chicken are exactly the same. There is no one better or worse. They are both top of the class.

Boss He personally called the boss of Shaw Brothers, and after a while, the boss of Shaw Brothers came here.

He was still a little uneasy about the arrival of Gu Zheng. Although he hated Boss He for stopping him from making more money, he also knew that without Gu Zheng, there would be no such thing as theirs. It is not as famous as Boss He’s chicken farm now.

Gu Zheng was also the new champion of the National Food Competition, and because he had something on his mind, he was slightly nervous when he saw Gu Zheng.

The people at Shaw Brothers are not stupid. When the raw materials are blocked by Boss He, it is impossible for them to unilaterally tear up the contract. Shaw Brothers' attitude is good, and they are self-aware.

The bucket chicken made from ordinary chickens tastes good, but it is far inferior to the bucket chicken made from Lu Cai Chicken. After the bosses came, they all chose Lu Cai Chicken bucket chicken instead of him. When ordinary chickens made bucket chickens, he knew that once Lu Caiji was gone, these big bosses would quickly abandon him.

In this case, he can only choose to cooperate.

Shaw Brothers was willing to continue to cooperate, and Gu Zheng was spared the trouble. The final result made Gu Zheng quite satisfied.

In the end, Gu Zheng didn't ask for Boss He's shares, which impressed Boss He and Xiang Ming even more. Unfortunately, they didn't know that these shares, which were very valuable to them, were really nothing in Gu Zheng's eyes. .

"Has it been arranged so quickly?"

The day after Gu Zheng returned to Shencheng, Chang Feng came to him and said that everything was arranged on his side and he could leave with Gu Zheng at any time.

Gu Zheng originally thought that Chang Feng would need a month to deal with these things, but he didn't expect that he could finish them all in just three days.

This is not going out for fun, nor is it going to work. You may not come back once you leave. It is really fast to prepare it in three days.

"Actually, I have considered and thought about this issue before. After I went back and talked with my family, they also expressed their support. Besides, since I have made a choice, I want to start earlier!"

Chang Feng smiled softly and continued: "I transferred all the shares in the Chicken Blood Soup Store to my eldest brother Chang Le. He will come forward if anything happens in the future. Most of the shares in Lianfeng Group were given to my second brother. I Two percent was given to Du Yang, and some of my other properties were handled by my elder brother!"

"Did you give Du Yang shares?"

Gu Zheng was stunned again. Gu Zheng knew that Changfeng had shares in Lianfeng Group, but he didn't expect that when he left this time, not all the shares in Lianfeng Group would be left to his family, but 2% would be returned to Du Yang.

Two percent doesn't sound like much, but this is a big company with an annual profit of more than one billion. This two percent is no longer a small number, and with Du Yang's two percent shares, it is no longer just a small number. A wage earner, he is also one of the shareholders.

"Yes, I know these things are of no use to you, so I left them to him. With the shares, he can develop better in the company. Besides, the second brother likes him very much and is very optimistic about him. With these shares, plus With the support of his second brother, he can even join the board of directors!”

Chang Feng thought things through very carefully, and Gu Zheng took him to practice. He knew that he had nothing that Gu Zheng would like, so he might as well give the benefits to the people around Gu Zheng.

After such a long period of contact, he has discovered that Gu Zheng attaches great importance to friendship, and Du Yang is one of Gu Zheng's few friends. Leaving the benefits to Du Yang is equivalent to giving them to Gu Zheng.

"Thank you on behalf of Du Yang!"

Gu Zheng was just silent for a moment, and then said that money in the secular world really didn't mean much to him. His current state was about to reach that of an immortal cultivator. As long as he crossed the threshold of an immortal cultivator, his future time in the secular world would be over. It won't be much, and it is also his wish to let his former friends live a better life.

Since Chang Feng has this intention, it can be regarded as Du Yang's good fortune.

Speaking of which, Du Yang's promotion during this period was indeed very fast, especially from the perspective of people in his company. From a small employee, he directly became a department head, and then was promoted to deputy director. Now with Chang Feng giving him With the shares, and the recommendation of Chang Feng's second brother, he can immediately remove the subtitle and become a real director, with the status of the board of directors.

This speed is definitely rocket-level.

Chang Feng had arranged everything, and Gu Zheng didn't object. He directly contacted Emei and asked Ouyang Hai to come. After all, Ouyang Hai wanted to harvest Chang Feng. If Ouyang Hai didn't like Chang Feng, Gu Zheng could only Teach him personally.

Ouyang Hai came very quickly. After learning Gu Zheng's intention, without saying a word, he flew into the sky with Chang Feng, directly entered the sea from the air, and ran around in the sea again.

After a lap, Chang Feng's eyes were straightened and his legs were trembling.

He wanted to learn Gu Wu from Gu Zheng before. He thought he would be a true master of the inner martial arts after he succeeded in practicing, but he didn't expect that Gu Zheng gave him another shock. There was a real immortal beside Gu Zheng, Feitian Eun. The immortal of earth.

"The performance is okay, but now I can only register my name. Whether he can become my true disciple depends on his destiny!"

I can't say that I am truly satisfied with Chang Feng and Ouyang Hai, nor am I disgusted with him. Now that Gu Zheng has said it, he will not refuse. It's just that it's not easy to become his true disciple, and he still has to go through a test.

For a cultivator like Ouyang Hai, the relationship between master and disciple is no less than that between father and son. Even if he is introduced by Gu Zheng, he will be extremely cautious.

Chang Feng followed Ouyang Hai to Emei. For him, he opened the door to a new world.

In Emei, he finally knew that immortals really existed. Although the number is now very small, they still exist. In addition, his previous idea was also correct. There are indeed many ancient martial arts practitioners, and the ultimate purpose of these ancient martial arts practitioners That is becoming an immortal.

The master Gu Zheng found for him was a real immortal, and a very powerful immortal. He was also a veteran immortal who had lived for thousands of years.

This result surprised him and made him very excited at the same time. After arriving in Emei, he worked hard no matter what he did. He wanted to get Ouyang Hai's recognition as soon as possible, get rid of the name as soon as possible, and become Ouyang Hai's true disciple.

Chang Feng can adapt to the life in Emei, which makes Gu Zheng finally feel relieved. Although Chang Feng has not yet taken the marrow cleansing diet and started practicing, being able to adapt is the best start. At least he can learn some basics. ability.

"Boss, you are here!"

When Gu Zheng came to the store, Gao Changhe immediately greeted him. Recently, Gao Changhe has become more and more energetic. Every time he calls the master to express his condolences, he expresses his gratitude.

Before Chang Feng left, he solved the housing problem for him and the store manager, and actually assigned him a room much earlier than promised. Although it was only a two-bedroom house, about the same size as his dormitory, after all, it was The house that truly belongs to him is no longer in the company.

Moreover, the house is nearby, not far from the store. This is a prosperous area in the city center. The price of the house here can be said to be the highest in the entire Shanghai. In the past, it was a 'luxury house' that he would never dare to imagine. In such a short period of time, he owned such a 'mansion' in Shanghai.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a 'luxury house'. If Gao Changhe sells this house and returns to his hometown of Bianjing, it will be more than enough to buy a villa.

With the house, they have truly settled in Shencheng. In addition, Chang Feng also raised their wages before leaving. He has really done a lot better than before. He is very grateful to Gu who gave him all this. Both Zheng and Chang Feng were very grateful, and they were even more grateful to the master who introduced them and allowed them to have this opportunity.

"How's the store going?"

Gu Zheng asked casually. In fact, there was nothing going on in the store, but Chang Feng would not come again in the future. Although Chang Feng's shares were now in Chang Le's hands, according to Chang Le's temperament, he might not come as often. many.

"Fortunately, everything went well, except occasionally there are customers who complain that they no longer have the chicken blood soup made by you!"

Gao Changhe grinned. Gu Zheng had been in the store recently. The chicken blood soup he made himself and sold for 888 yuan had been removed. Many old customers complained about it.

Especially those who want to get the therapeutic effect of chicken blood soup. It has long been known to everyone that chicken blood soup has a therapeutic effect. However, the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng himself has a better and more obvious therapeutic effect. Without the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng himself, the ordinary chicken blood soup also has an effect, but the effect is far inferior.

"Okay, I'll make it again today!"

Gu Zheng looked at this familiar kitchen and suddenly said something. Gao Changhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly.

He personally prepared things for Gu Zheng and notified the store manager that the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng would definitely not be the same price as the ordinary chicken blood soup in the store. He had to tell the customers outside in advance and accept reservations.

Gu Zheng had prepared a lot of fairy chicken and other ingredients. He brought these things back for any reason.

Now Gu Zheng's strength has increased, his cooking skills have also improved, and the raw materials have been reduced to the lowest level. The taste of the chicken blood soup is much better than before.

And the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng himself has another unique feature, that is, the rich fragrance can be spread far and wide, which is incomparable to Gao Changhe and anyone else. As long as such a fragrance spreads, people who know it know that it must be made by Gu Zheng himself.

The fragrance that disappeared for more than half a year reappeared, and many people around were sniffing. Many people living nearby and business owners knew that the most famous chef of Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup was back, and only he could make chicken blood soup with such a taste.

Some tourists and newcomers to the neighborhood were not clear, and after asking, they all showed surprise.

Ten servings of chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng himself, each serving is still 888, and all of them have been booked before Gu Zheng started to cook.

This is not because there were many regular customers outside, but the result after the store manager announced that this was the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng himself. Today, Gu Zheng is no longer the unknown person he used to be. Now, he is the new champion of the National Food Competition.

He used to have the title of Hangzhou Food Competition Champion, but that competition was held for the first time and was provincial, so its influence was far from comparable to that of the National Food Competition. Any dish made by the champion of the National Food Competition is worth the price. There are not too many people who want to taste the skills of the chef who is the champion of the National Food Competition.

There was once a national food competition champion who publicly auctioned a table of dishes he made, and the result was a high price of 280,000.

This happened more than ten years ago. At that time, the prices were not so high, and the influence of the champion was not as great as Gu Zheng. Now people's lives are getting better and better, and their pursuit of food is getting higher and higher. The food made by really good chefs has always been fought for.

888 per serving, let alone chicken blood soup, even the noodle soup made by Gu Zheng has people want it.

Gu Zheng was somewhat surprised that ten portions were bought so quickly. He still underestimated his influence. Someone had already made a reservation. Next, Gu Zheng would make this delicacy himself.

Chicken blood soup can be said to be the food that Gu Zheng has made the most times. He is familiar with it and soon the strong fragrance spreads out again.

This time, the fragrance spreads not from eight miles as before, but from ten miles. It really spreads ten miles. Although ten miles is only five kilometers, these five kilometers are the radius, and the diameter is a full ten thousand meters.

In the city, the diameter of ten thousand meters covers a very large range.

Countless people smelled this fragrance. Those who were close and knew it were fine. At least they knew what was going on. Those who were far away and didn't know it, but they experienced the feeling of those who only smelled it but didn't know it. Some foodies even searched like crazy, and some smart people asked on the Internet.

Slowly, Gu Zheng finished making this pot of chicken blood soup, and Gao Changhe soon brought it out personally.

Those who bought the ten servings of chicken blood soup were not disappointed. It was indeed made by the top chef in China. Those who had eaten it said that it was the best food they had ever eaten in their lives.

All ordinary ingredients, plus Gu Zheng, the immortal chef, made it himself. If such a delicacy could not conquer the taste buds of ordinary people, he would not have to continue working as an immortal chef. Without the spirit of the instrument, Lord Tiexian might not be able to help but fire this apprentice.

"Is there anything going on recently?"

After making the chicken blood soup, Gu Zheng asked casually. Although he was not there, the kitchen was always under his control. When Chang Feng was there, he did not ask about the kitchen, giving Gao Changhe great autonomy.

The reason why Chang Feng did not care about the bucket chicken before was also a little bit of this. As long as they did not really affect the interests of the store, he would wait until Gu Zheng came back to talk about the kitchen.

Although the bucket chicken was purchased from outside, it was also a kitchen issue.

"Nothing else, but a lot of people couldn't find you, so they sent some invitations and letters of appointment here!"

When Gu Zheng asked, Gao Changhe replied immediately. During the time when Gu Zheng was away, countless people who wanted to take advantage of him but couldn't find him could only come here.

There were hundreds of invitations and letters of appointment, and this was the result after Gao Changhe screened them. Some unreliable ones that were obviously trying to take advantage of Gu Zheng's popularity were all thrown away by him.

The ones that were left were all really important.

"An invitation from CCTV?"

Gu Zheng picked up one, looked at it casually, and immediately put it aside. It was an appointment letter from CCTV Food Channel, asking him to be a guest on a program, and be the only guest.

The salary was considerable, but now Gu Zheng was not short of money at all, and he had no interest in appearing on TV, so he put it aside.

"Invitation to Hangzhou Food Competition!"

Gu Zheng soon received an invitation that surprised him. The Hangzhou Food Competition was already preparing for its second session. The invitation sent to Gu Zheng this time was not to invite him to participate. Gu Zheng ranked first in the last competition. Ranked first in the country again, it is impossible to participate in such a competition again.

This time, Gu Zheng was invited to be a judge.

For the people in the organizing committee of the Hangzhou Food Competition, Gu Zheng’s previous ranking of first place in the country was an unexpected surprise, which once again enhanced their influence. Gu Zheng had participated in a competition before, and that was their place. Such a Come on, the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition was the same as the first place in the country. Others would look up to the Hangzhou Food Competition.

This competition will be held in three months, and the organizing committee wants to take advantage of the popularity of guzheng and invite him to be the judge for this session, and the final judge.

"Boss, the Hangzhou Food Competition is pretty good. I heard that they will continue auditions this year, but the direct selection contestants have added many heavyweight celebrity chefs. This year it will definitely be better!"

Seeing Gu Zheng holding the invitation letter, Gao Changhe whispered to the side. After all, Gu Zheng was famous in the Hangzhou Food Competition. After the invitation was sent, Gao Changhe paid attention to Hangzhou. Things over there.

“We’ll talk about this later!”

Gu Zheng neither refused nor agreed. He just put the invitation aside and continued to look at other things.

Many of them were invitations from famous domestic food festivals, and more than a dozen were from various international invitations. There were also invitations from Michelin Company. Most of these invitations were put aside by him, and only one was retained by him. In hand.

This is an invitation from France, asking Gu Zheng to participate in a food festival in half a month. It just arrived.

Gu Zheng went to Shushan and was busy with other things, so he didn't come back during the New Year. According to his plan, he planned to visit his father in France during the New Year last year and taste French food by the way, but he was delayed.

Speaking of which, he and his father have not seen each other for two years. As the saying goes, wealth is like walking at night without returning home. Now that he has wealth and fame, he always wants to be recognized.

The recognition of ordinary people was forgetful. His home was in Shanghai, and he didn't have many acquaintances. There was no point in being here. What he wanted most was to visit his father, at least to let him know that his son was already better than his master.

Although Gu Zheng is a cultivator of immortality, he has not been cultivating immortality for a long time, so these tacky things in his heart cannot be avoided.

"This invitation was sent directly from them. I verified it and it is genuine. Moreover, it is the largest food festival in France, so I stayed!"

Seeing Gu Zheng thinking deeply while holding the invitation letter, Gao Changhe hurriedly introduced, France is also a famous country in the food industry, and this food festival is the largest and most grand one in France. This can be regarded as a weighty invitation.

Gao Changhe usually investigates invitations like this, whether someone is deliberately pretending to be one, or it is just a small event, deliberately making it big, and only stays after verifying that everything is true.

"Okay, thank you, Master Gao. I'll take these with you and return the others!"

Gu Zheng nodded and was the first to take away the invitation letter from the French Food Festival. In addition, he kept the invitations for the Hangzhou Food Competition and several other events. The rest were obviously rejected.
