"Are those people in front of you disciples of other branches of Tianluo sect?" Gu Zheng asked.
The people sitting outside the awning, dressed like Tianluo sect, were obviously surprised.
"Yes, they are from the purple Tianluo sect, the Yellow Tianluo sect and the black Tianluo sect."
When elder Gao spoke, he named Gu Zheng the identity of the people opposite.
There are eleven branches of Tianluo sect, all of which are called Tianluo sect, but there is a word representing color in front of the names of different branches. The full name of Tianluo sect where elder Gao belongs is hongtianluo sect.
"Gao Xiaofeng, it's not good to point at people?"
On the table of heitianluo pie opposite, a loud man spoke.
"This man is Jiang An, the elder of heitianluo sect. He is a good man." elder Gao first whispered to Gu Zheng, and then said coldly: "Jiang An, you have a lot to do. Do you know I mean you? I only mean a few coconut trees behind you!"
"Dare to admit to the guests you brought? I'm ashamed of you!" Jiang An sneered.
"I don't care about you!"
Gao Changlao snorted coldly and came to a table with Gu Zheng.
"Lao Zhou, three bowls of cold shrimps!" Lao Gao said.
"OK!"
Lao Zhou, who was busy in the shed, immediately put three bowls of cold shrimp on their table.
"Try it. That's what I call delicious."
Gao Changlao seemed to like eating cold shrimp very much. He greeted him in a hurry and immediately ate spoon by spoon.
Cold shrimp is a simple snack. Gu Zheng has heard of it, but he hasn't eaten it.
The cool shrimp known by Gu Zheng is to grind a moderate proportion of glutinous rice and rice into a slurry, then add water to boil in the pot, slowly pour the rice slurry in, and stir it with a spoon while pouring, so as to prevent the pot from pasting.
Boil the rice slurry almost, then inject clear lime water, and then use low fire to cook it into rice paste. Put cold boiled water into the basin, slowly add the boiled rice paste into the leaky spoon while it is hot, and finally fall into the cold boiled water, that is, it becomes a cold shrimp with big head and thin tail.
The prepared cold shrimp is served with brown sugar, fried sesame and broken peanuts, and some ice. It is a good thirst quencher in summer. It is sweet, soft and tender, and cold in the mouth.
The cold shrimp made by Lao Zhou also contains some accessories, but it is not fried sesame and broken peanuts, but some broken nut kernels and broken preserves. As for the water for soaking cold shrimp, it was not brown sugar water. Gu Zheng brought the bowl close to him, and suddenly a sour smell penetrated into his nostrils.
Scooped a spoonful of cold shrimp into his mouth, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up.
The sour, sweet and cold tastes interweave with each other. When the cold shrimp in the mouth touches the tongue, it gives people an unimaginable smooth taste, as if they were living creatures.
The teeth fall, and the cold shrimp bite is soft and waxy. It tastes more sweet against the soup and broken nuts.
"Good!"
A mouthful of cold shrimp into the belly, Gu Zheng gave an evaluation. On this subtropical island, a bowl of seemingly simple cold shrimp makes people instantly feel that the air is much cooler.
"Good? Why isn't it delicious?" Jiang an at the next table frowned at Gu Zheng.
"Is there a big difference between good and delicious?" Gu Zheng looked at Jiang An and frowned slightly.
"Of course there's a difference. It's good. It's just a medium evaluation. It's delicious. You say it's good for such delicious cold shrimp, which makes people very unhappy!"
Jiang An stares at Gu Zheng. What he reveals in his eyes is seriousness. It's not like looking for trouble, but more like Gu Zheng has violated his taboos.
Seeing Gu Zheng's doubts, Gao Changlao quickly whispered: "Jiang An's father was the first person to sell cold shrimp on Wufeng island. Now Lao Zhou, who sells cold shrimp, is the true story of Jiang An's father. Jiang An's father died a few days ago. The ancient leader's' good 'just now seems to have stimulated him."
"The difference between good and delicious is just your personal definition. For me, 'good' is a very good evaluation."
Gu Zheng said faintly that since the other party was his just dead father, Gu Zheng didn't intend to argue with him more. He bowed his head and continued to eat his cold shrimp.
Gu Zheng doesn't want to do much, but it doesn't mean Jiang An thinks so. Seeing Gu Zheng bow his head and just eat, his anger surged up on his face.
"You can't eat this cold shrimp!"
Jiang An drank angrily, bent his fingers and shot an internal force at the cold shrimp bowl in Gu Zheng's hand.
"You can't be free to eat a bowl of cold shrimp. Where do flies hum?"
As if unintentionally, meow didn't lift her head, but waved the spoon in her hand, and Jiang An's internal strength was dissolved into invisibility.
The other party was just a girl, but he could quietly dissolve his inner strength, which surprised Jiang an almost didn't bite his tongue.
"Gao Xiaofeng, they are the two of you hongtianluo sect. Are you looking for someone to deal with the competition this time?"
Jiang An's words made the people who had not paid much attention here, and the other two tables also focused on Gu Zheng and meow.
"You think too much."
Gao Changlao looked puzzled. The two Tianluo sects kept each other's secrets about the candidates for the competition. Naturally, it was impossible to admit them in advance.
"Think too much? Who is it?"
Having said that, Jiang An doesn't seem to want to entangle more on this issue. He just looks at Gu Zheng and meow coldly, and doesn't know what he's thinking.
"This girl has such strength at a young age. If she is really a candidate to deal with the competition, heitianluo sect will be unlucky this time!"
On the table of Huang Tianluo sect, the speaker was quite young, with a thin face and slender eyes. At first glance, he didn't look like a good kind.
"The speaker's name is Xie Ying. He is the candidate for the huangtianluo sect to enter the 'Tianluo cave'." Gao Changlao whispered.
"Xie Ying, if you can say it, just say it. If you can't say it, just eat cold shrimp honestly! What's the bad luck of heitianluo sect? Just rely on her strength? Blind your eyes!" Jiang An scolded.
"Uncle Jiang, are you angry from shame? I'm just guessing. Are you angry? I can't afford to be angry!" Xie Ying said strangely.
"Xie Ying, I don't think you can see it."
At the purple Tianluo sect, another person spoke. The person who spoke was a woman in purple dress. She was twenty-eight years old and pretty. Her big eyes bent like crescent moon when she was laughing.
"This woman is the candidate of the purple Tianluo sect to enter the 'Tianluo cave' this time. Her name is Cao Yi." Gao Changlao whispered.
"How can I not see?" Xie Ying sneered.
"If one of the two must be the candidate for the competition of hongtianluo sect, it should be the little brother, not the girl! Obviously, the little brother is the first of them," Cao Yi said with a smile.
"This is just a competition. The leader doesn't mean that he will participate. The leader doesn't mean that his strength must be very high." Xie Ying disdained.
"Why are there flies everywhere today, and I can't rest after eating a bowl of cold shrimp? If I scream again, I'll let it know the consequences of the scream!"
Meow's cold shrimp has been eaten. Her eyes scan around, full of cold.
"Young people, these two are also the guests of our hongtianluo sect. If you are so unscrupulous again, don't blame me for educating you instead of your elders!" Gao Xiaofeng opened his mouth with a very serious tone.
The eleven branches of Tianluo sect don't get along well with each other at all. It's not too much to say that they are enemies. Like what happened today, they may be surprised by the ancient dispute, but for Gao Xiaofeng, this is a common scene during the annual ancestor worship.
First the warning of meow, then the warning of Gao Xiaofeng. Cao Yi and Xie Ying were silent. For a moment, the scene was very quiet, leaving only the sound of Gu Zheng's spoon touching the cold shrimp bowl.
"Good."
The last bite of cold shrimp finished, put down the ancient dispute of the bowl, and gave the same evaluation again.
The first evaluation was from the heart. Although the second evaluation was also from the heart, the purpose was not simple.
How to fight in the branch nest of tianluozong, Gu Zheng couldn't control it, and didn't want to control it, but Jiang An wanted to break his bowl, and Xie Ying and Cao Yi's impoliteness all made him unhappy!
If this evaluation does not lead to any dissatisfaction, it will be enough. If there is any dissatisfaction, the ancient dispute will involve these people, or let them know what a curse comes out of the mouth.
Gu Zheng gave the same evaluation for the second time! With the existence of previous contradictions, everyone can hear the smell of looking for trouble in his words. The people of purple Tianluo sect and yellow Tianluo sect immediately cast their eyes on Jiang An.
"You say it's good. Are you going to pick something?"
Jiang An glared at Gu Zheng, slapped the table and stood up.
To tell the truth, after seeing the means of meow, Jiang An doesn't intend to find any trouble with Gu Zheng, but it's also because of the previous contradictions. If he doesn't say anything at this time, it undoubtedly shows that he counseled, especially in front of the other three Tianluo sects, which is the face Jiang An can't lose.
"In my original intention, 'good' is really a good evaluation, but since you have to be serious, I'll follow your opinion! This bowl of cold shrimp may be delicious in your eyes, but it's really not good in my eyes!"
As soon as Gu Zheng's words were spoken, let alone Jiang An's eyes, even the people of purple Tianluo sect and yellow Tianluo sect also opened their eyes! In their opinion, Gu Zheng has boasted to the point of disrespect for people. Anyway, Jiang An has just died. This cold shrimp comes from his father's craft inheritance.
"You can eat at random, but you can't talk at random. As a guest of Xuechao Island, we kindly entertain you with cold shrimp. You slander what we are proud of. You must apologize for this, or I Jiang anding won't give up!"
Jiang An's face turned red and her heart was oppressed! If he hadn't been shocked by meow, he would have rushed to fight with Gu.
He didn't dare to work hard. He was really angry and couldn't get through his face. Apart from making Gu Zheng apologize, Jiang an really couldn't think of any way to relieve his anger! But can apology really relieve anger? No! It's just a helpless move.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? You are proud. That only means you haven't eaten more delicious cold shrimp! Can you blame others for your limited knowledge? I tell you, my cold shrimp is better than this!"
The ancient dispute is to irritate people, so the look on his face when he speaks is really not beaten.
"Your cold shrimp is better than this? Stop bullshit!"
Jiang An's eyes widened. His father has sold cold shrimp all his life. It can be said that he has worked hard on the formula. Now it's not too much to say that the formula of cold shrimp is his father's masterpiece! Gu Zheng, an arrogant hairy boy, said he could make more delicious cold shrimp. How can he believe it! What's more, people have the side of protecting their weaknesses. Even if Gu Zhengzhen makes it better, he is unwilling to admit it.
"Who has time to talk nonsense with you? Don't think about apologizing. Don't bother me if there's nothing else. I just want to wait quietly for the landscape to appear." Gu Zheng said impatiently.
"Boy, you are hateful!" Jiang An roared, and the green tendons on his neck were raised with anger: "if you don't make more delicious cold shrimp today, I won't let you leave easily!"
Jiang An stands in front of Gu Zheng and has the posture of fighting for dignity.
Gu Zheng tilted his head and looked at Jiang An. He had laughed in his heart. The goods were finally set up.
"It's not impossible to try my cold shrimp, but why should you prove that I'll cook it for you? Unless you dare to bet with me on this!" Gu Zheng said coldly.
"Bet?" Jiang An said in a voice, "what do you want to bet?"
"What I bet depends on what you bet. Anyway, if you dare to take out the things you bet, I dare to go on. I will bet on the things with the same value as what you take out!"
Gu Zheng's voice fell to the ground. Lao Zhou, who made cold shrimp, made a sound of sucking cold air. Gu Zheng's bet was not big when Jiang An was angry! Under normal circumstances, Jiang An will also pay a lot of attention. He not only wants to recover face, but also wants to teach Gu Zheng a lesson.
"Xiao'an, don't be impulsive!" Lao Zhou looked at Jiang'an and said in an elder tone.
"Uncle Zhou, he said that our cold shrimp is not very good. It's not as good as his cooking! Can you bear this kind of thing? Anyway, I can't bear it!" Jiang An said angrily.
"A mountain is higher than a mountain, and everything is possible. Is it worth gambling for the sake of morale? You will be very happy if you win, but have you ever thought about losing? What will happen if you lose?" said Lao Zhou Yu.
"Lose? I never thought about it. I don't believe he can make more delicious cold shrimp!" Jiang An said in a voice and looked at old Zhou with a little disappointment: "Uncle Zhou, are you really old? Time has worn away your spirit and confidence? I don't believe you could stand such a thing ten years ago!"
Old Monday sighed: "boy, after all, this is not ten years ago! Time has not eroded my confidence, but made me more cautious!"
Lao Zhou said in a loud voice and then said, "xiao'an, have you heard of what happened in the dragon war square of Kunlun Mountain some time ago? Gu Zheng, the leader of Emei sect, defeated the descendants of several supreme elders of Kunlun sect by virtue of his cooking, knowledge, luck and strength. The ancient leader is very consistent with the Taoist friend in front of him!"
Lao Zhou narrowed his eyes to see Gu Zheng. As for the people around him, some opened their eyes very wide, while others seemed at a loss.
Gu Zheng's heart moved and he couldn't help scolding old Zhou bastard.
Many sects were invited to participate in the grand meeting of Kunlun sect, but only the red Tianluo sect received the invitation from the 11 branches of Tianluo sect, which Gu Zheng learned when chatting with Mu Chunfeng. As for why this happened, Mu Chunfeng said that four hundred years ago, the Kunlun sect widely issued heroic orders and organized righteous people to encircle and suppress the devil. In that war to eliminate demons, all branches of the Tianluo sect received heroic orders, but the only sect that really sent people to participate was the red Tianluo sect. Since then, the Kunlun sect has not invited another ten branches of Tianluo sect every ten years.
It was precisely because he knew that the other Tianluo sect members did not participate in the grand meeting of the Kunlun sect that Gu Zhengcai thought the gambling was very interesting. After all, the other party might not even know who he was, so he would naturally have less scruples when betting.
As for the "situ Ya incident", Gu Zheng was not worried. After all, situ Ya was only suspicious when he went to Emei! And a doubt is not enough, let his portrait spread throughout the heitianluo sect.
Things are not different from what Gu Zheng guessed. The people he wants to target really don't know who he is. But who would have thought that Lao Zhou, who was not conspicuous at all, guessed his identity!
Although the other ten branches of tianluozong did not participate in the Kunlun grand meeting, they still heard more or less about the major events that took place during the grand meeting. Gu Zheng was in the limelight on longzhan square, which is undoubtedly a major event during the grand event.
"Are you the leader of Emei?" Jiang An stared at Gu Zheng.
"That's right."
Since he was guessed, Gu Zheng didn't want to deny it. After admitting it, he smiled at Jiang An: "what? Are you afraid?"
Jiang An thought he would win 100%, but after knowing Gu Zheng's identity, this must have dropped by 40%, and he even thanked Lao Zhou in his heart. However, Gu Zheng asked with a smile, which made his unhappiness soar again. From that smile, he felt a kind of red contempt!
"Be afraid? I have nothing to be afraid of! Today I'm going to try. Is your cold shrimp chaff or delicious!"
Although the odds of victory have dropped by 40%, there are still 60% after all. What's more, things have come to this point. If you dare not question the name of the ancient dispute, you will be ashamed and lost at home.
"Good!"
The person cheering is not Gu Zheng, but Xie Ying of huangtianluo sect.
Although the branch of Tianluo sect is fighting in the dark, Gu Zheng is an outsider after all. Seeing that Jiang An is at a disadvantage step by step in the verbal confrontation with Gu Zheng, let alone Xie Ying's dissatisfaction, even Cao Yi's dissatisfaction is written on her face! They are also in their twenties. They are competitive, but they are not inferior to Jiang an at all.
"Xie Daoyou doesn't seem very convinced. Since they all applauded Jiang Daoyou, do you have the courage to gamble?"
Gu Zheng's words didn't leave room for people, and Xie Ying didn't hesitate: "convinced? Why should I be convinced? Maybe you're just bluffing, maybe you're just in vain, maybe what you're doing is really chaff? Bet, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Well, I appreciate your unyielding fighting spirit!"
Gu Zheng held out his thumb to Xie Ying and turned to Cao Yi: "where's Cao Daoyou? Since it's all written on his face, do you want to gamble?"
"Giggle." Cao Ying smiled: "it's no use for the ancient leader to excite me. I'm not an indomitable man. I'm just a soft and weak little woman. I bet you men can do this exciting thing. I'll just watch quietly."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to bet, hurry up and talk about the rules first!"
Jiang An is domineering. With Xie Ying's participation, his odds of winning have risen by 10%, which is called confidence. Anyway, he won't be the only one to lose.
