Tiexian heirs in the city

"Those people in front are disciples of other branches of your Tianluo Sect?" Gu Zheng asked.

The people sitting outside the arbor, dressed in the same clothes as those of the Tianluo sect, were obviously surprised.

"Yes, they are the Zitianluo Sect, the Yellow Tianluo Sect and the Black Tianluo Sect."

While Elder Gao was speaking, he named Gu Zheng the identities of those people on the opposite side.

There are eleven branches of Tianluo Sect, all of which are called Tianluo Sect, but there is a word representing color before the names of different branches. The full name of the Tianluo Sect that Elder Gao belongs to is the Red Tianluo Sect.

"Gao Xiaofeng, pointing at people, isn't that good?"

On the opposite table of the Hei Tian Luo Pie, a man with a loud voice spoke.

"This person is Jiang An, the elder of the Black Sky Conch Sect, and he is a good person." Elder Gao first told Gu Zheng in a low voice, and then said coldly: "Jiang An, you have a lot of things to do, do you know that I am referring to you? I mean only the coconut trees behind you!"

"Facing the guest you brought, dare to point fingers and dare not admit it? I feel ashamed for you!" Jiang An smiled contemptuously.

"I don't care about you!"

Elder Gao snorted coldly, and brought Gu Zheng to a table.

"Old Zhou, three bowls of cold shrimp!" Elder Gao said.

"okay!"

Lao Zhou, who was busy in the arbor, immediately poured three bowls of cold shrimp and placed them on Gu Zheng's table.

"Taste, this is what I call delicious."

Elder Gao seemed to like eating cold shrimps very much, he hurriedly greeted him, and immediately started eating spoonful by spoonful.

Cold shrimp is a simple snack. Gu Zheng has heard of it, but has never eaten it.

The cold shrimp known by Gu Zheng is to grind glutinous rice and rice in a proper proportion into a slurry, then add water to boil in a pot, slowly pour in the rice slurry, and stir with a spoon while pouring to prevent the pot from sticking.

Boil the rice milk until it is almost ready, then pour it into clear lime water, then use low heat to cook rice paste, put cold boiled water in the pot, slowly add the boiled rice paste to the colander while it is hot, and finally fall into the cold boiled water In the middle, it becomes a cold shrimp with a big head and a thin tail.

Serve the prepared cold shrimp with brown sugar, fried sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, and put some ice cubes. It is a good thirst quencher for summer. It is sweet, soft and tender, and it is cold in the mouth.

The cold shrimp made by Lao Zhou also has some auxiliary ingredients, but instead of fried sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, some crushed nuts and crushed candied fruit. As for the water in which the cold shrimp was soaked, it was not brown sugar water either. Gu Zheng moved the bowl closer, and a sour smell penetrated his nostrils.

After scooping a spoonful of cold shrimp into his mouth, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up.

The sweet and sour taste and the cold taste are intertwined. When the cold shrimp in the mouth touches the tongue, it makes people taste an unimaginable smooth taste, as if they are alive.

The teeth fell down, and the cold shrimp was soft and glutinous, and the taste was even sweeter with the soup and chopped nuts.

"good!"

After taking a bite of cold shrimp, Gu Zheng commented. On this subtropical island, a bowl of cold shrimp that looks simple makes people feel that the air is much cooler in an instant.

"Not bad? 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, frowning slightly.

"Of course there is a difference. Not bad is just a medium rating, but delicious is top-notch! You actually say that such delicious cold shrimp is good, which makes people feel very upset!"

Jiang An stared at Gu Zheng with seriousness in his eyes. It didn't seem like he was looking for trouble, but more like Gu Zheng violated some taboo of his.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was a little puzzled, Elder Gao hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Jiang An's father was the first person to sell cold shrimp on Wufeng Island, and now Lao Zhou, who sells cold shrimp, can be regarded as the true biography of Jiang An's father. And Jiang An Ann's father just passed away a few days ago, and the 'good' just now from the head of the Gu seems to have stimulated him."

"The difference between good and delicious is just your personal definition. For me, 'good' is already a very good evaluation."

Gu Zheng said lightly, since the other party's father just died, Gu Zheng didn't intend to argue with him too much, he bowed his head and continued to eat his cold shrimp.

Gu Zheng doesn't want to be troublesome, but it doesn't mean that Jiang An thinks the same way. Seeing Gu Zheng lower his head and focus on eating, his face suddenly burst into anger.

"You can't eat this cold shrimp!"

Jiang An yelled angrily, flicked his fingers, and shot at the cold shrimp bowl in Gu Zheng's hand.

"Eating a bowl of cold shrimp can't be idle, where are the flies buzzing?"

As if unintentionally, Miaomiao didn't raise her head, but just waved the spoon in her hand, and the inner strength Jiang An bounced was dissolved into nothingness.

The other party was just a young girl, but she was able to dissipate his inner energy silently, which almost made Jiang An bite her tongue in shock.

"Gao Xiaofeng, the two of them are your Red Sky Snail Sect, are they here to deal with the exchange of ideas?"

Jiang An's words made the people at the other two tables, who hadn't paid much attention to this side, also focus on Gu Zheng and Miaomiao.

"You think too much."

Elder Gao looked baffled. As for the candidates for the competition, the two Tianluo sects kept each other's secrets, so it was naturally impossible to admit in advance.

"Thinking too much? Who are you fooling!"

Having said that, Jiang An didn't seem to intend to entangle this issue, he just looked at Gu Zheng and Miaomiao coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"This girl has such strength at such a young age. If she is really the one who has been recruited to compete with each other, the Black Sky Conch Sect will be in for a bad luck this time!"

At the table of the Huangtian Luo faction, the speaker was quite young, with a thin face and a pair of slender eyes, he didn't look like a kind person at first glance.

"The speaker is Xie Ying. He is the candidate for Huang Tianluo to enter the 'Tianluo Cave' this time." Elder Gao whispered.

"Junior Xie Ying, if you can say something, just say a few words, if you don't, just eat cold shrimps honestly! What is it that the Black Sky Conch Sect is unlucky? Is it just because of her strength? I'm blinding your little eyes!" Jiang An scolded.

"Master Jiang is angry from embarrassment? This junior is just a guess. Are you going to get angry? I can't afford to lose my body!" Xie Ying said in a strange way.

"Xie Ying, I don't think you're right."

On the side of the Zitianluo Sect, another person spoke. The person who spoke was a woman in a purple dress. She was about 27 or 28 years old, and she was pretty. Her big eyes were smiling. When it is bent, it is like a crescent moon.

"This woman is the Zitianluo Sect's candidate to enter the 'Tianluo Cave' this time, and her name is Cao Yi." Elder Gao whispered.

"Why am I not sure?" Xie Ying sneered.

"If one of these two must be the candidate for the Red Sky Conch Sect's competition this time, then it should be this little brother, not this girl! Of the two of them, this little brother is obviously the leader." Cao Yi laughed.

"This is just a sparring session. Being the leader doesn't mean you will participate, and being the leader doesn't mean you must have high strength." Xie Ying said disdainfully.

"Why are there flies everywhere today, and eating a bowl of cold shrimp can't be peaceful? If you keep buzzing and buzzing, I will let it know the consequences of screaming!"

Miao Miao's cold shrimp had already been eaten, her eyes scanned the surroundings, all of them were cold.

"Juniors, no matter what, these two are guests of our Red Sky Conch Sect. If you are so unscrupulous, don't blame me for educating you on behalf of your elders!" Gao Xiaofeng said, his tone very serious.

Among the eleven branches of the Tianluozong, they don't get along with each other at all. It is not too much to say that they are enemies. Like what happened today, Gu Zheng and the others may feel very surprised, but for Gao Xiaofeng, it is an annual festival. A common scene during the ancestor period.

First came Miao Miao's warning, then Gao Xiaofeng's warning, Cao Yi and Xie Ying were silent, the scene seemed very quiet for a while, only the sound of Gu Zheng's spoon touching the cold shrimp bowl was left.

"good."

After finishing the last bite of cold shrimp, Gu Zheng put down the bowl and gave the same evaluation again.

The first evaluation, Gu Zheng came from the heart, although this second evaluation is also from the heart, but the purpose is not simple.

Gu Zheng didn't care about how the Tianluo Sect's branches fought, and he didn't want to, but Jiang An wanted to knock down his bowl, and Xie Ying and Cao Yi's impoliteness made him feel a little uncomfortable!

If this evaluation no longer causes any dissatisfaction, that's all. If there is any dissatisfaction, Gu Zheng will involve these people, so that they can know what it means to speak out.

Gu Zheng gave the same evaluation for the second time! With the existence of previous contradictions, everyone can hear the taste of looking for trouble in the words. The members of Zitianluo Sect and Huangtianluo Sect immediately cast their eyes on Jiang An.

"You still say it's good. Are you trying to pick things up?"

Jiang An glared at Gu Zheng, slapped the table and stood up.

To be honest, after seeing Miaomiao's methods, Jiang An no longer intends to trouble Gu Zheng anymore, but it is also because of the previous conflicts, if he does not say anything at this time, it will undoubtedly show that he is cowardly, especially Still in front of the other three Tianluo sects, this is a face that Jiang An cannot lose.

"In my original intention, 'not bad' is indeed a good evaluation, but since you insist on being serious, then I will follow your wishes! This bowl of cold shrimp may be delicious in your eyes, but in my opinion In my eyes, what I did is really not very good!"

As soon as Gu Zheng's words came out, not to mention Jiang An's eyes widened, even the Zitianluo Sect and Huang Tianluo Sect's eyes widened as well! In their view, Gu Zheng has already bragged to the point of disrespecting others. After all, Jiang An's father just died, and this cold shrimp is from his father's handicraft inheritance.

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. As a guest of Blood Tide Island, we kindly entertained you with cold shrimps. You actually slandered something we are proud of. You must apologize for this matter, or I will Jiang Anding is not for you to let it go!"

Jiang An blushed, feeling very aggrieved! If he hadn't been shocked by Miaomiao, he would have rushed to fight Gu Zheng now.

He didn't dare to go all out, and was really angry in his heart, and he couldn't make up for it. Apart from asking Gu Zheng to apologize, Jiang An really couldn't think of any way to relieve his anger! But can an apology really relieve your anger? cannot! This is just a helpless move.

"Apologize? Why should I apologize? You are so proud, it only shows that you have never eaten a more delicious cold shrimp! Can you blame others with limited knowledge? Tell you, the cold shrimp I cook is better than this! "

The ancient battle is to irritate people, so the expression on his face when he speaks is really embarrassing.

"The cold shrimp you cook is better than this? Stop talking nonsense!"

Jiang An's eyes widened. His father had been selling the cold shrimp all his life. It can be said that he worked hard on the recipe. It is no exaggeration to say that the recipe for cold shrimp is his father's masterpiece! Gu Zheng, an arrogant brat, even said that he could make better cold shrimp, how could he believe it! What's more, everyone has a side to protect their weaknesses, even if Gu Zhengzhen's cooking is better, he is unwilling to admit it.

"Who has the time to talk nonsense with you? Don't even think about apologizing, and don't bother me if you have nothing else to do. I just want to quietly wait for the scene to appear." Gu Zheng said impatiently.

"Boy, you are disgusting!" Jiang An roared, the veins on his neck were bulging with anger: "If you don't cook better cold shrimp today, I won't let you go easily!"

Jiang An stood in front of Gu Zheng, ready to fight for his dignity.

Gu Zheng tilted his head to look at Jiang An, and laughed out loud in his heart, this guy was finally hooked.

"It's not impossible to try my cold shrimp, but why should I cook it for you if you want to prove it? Unless you dare to bet with me on this matter!" Gu Zheng said coldly.

"Bet?" Jiang An paused, "What do you want to bet?"

"What I bet depends on what you bet on. Anyway, I will dare to take what you dare to bet on. I will give you what you put out, something of equal value as a bet!"

When Gu Zheng's words fell, Lao Zhou, who made the cold shrimp, let out a gasp. Gu Zheng's bet was not a big deal when Jiang An was angry! Under normal circumstances, Jiang An would definitely bet hard, not only wanting to save face, but also wanting to teach Gu Zheng a lesson.

"Xiao An, don't be impulsive!" Lao Zhou looked at Jiang An and said in the tone of an elder.

"Uncle Zhou, he said that our cold shrimp is not very good, not as delicious 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 taking a big gamble for the sake of fighting for emotions? You will be very happy if you win, but have you ever thought about losing? What will happen to you if you lose?" Lao Zhou He said earnestly.

"Losing? I never thought about it, and I don't believe that he can make more delicious cold shrimp!" Jiang An paused, looking at Lao Zhou with a little disappointment: "Uncle Zhou, you are really old. Has time worn away your vigor and your confidence? I don't believe you could have endured such a thing ten years ago!"

Old Zhou sighed: "Son, it wasn't ten years ago after all! Time hasn't worn away my self-confidence, it just made me more cautious!"

Lao Zhou's voice paused, and then he said again: "Xiao'an, I don't know if you have heard of what happened in the Longzhan Square in Kunlun Mountain some time ago? Gu Zheng, the head of the Emei School, relied on cooking skills, knowledge, luck and The strength has defeated the descendants of several elders of the Kunlun Sect, and the age of the ancient master is very consistent with the fellow Taoist in front of him!"

Lao Zhou squinted his eyes at Gu Zheng. As for the people around him, some eyes were wide open, while others looked dazed.

Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded Lao Zhou for being a jerk.

Many sects were invited to the grand event of the Kunlun Sect, but among the eleven branches of the Tianluo Sect, only the Red Tianluo Sect received the invitation. This is something that Gu Zheng had already learned when he was chatting with Mu Chunfeng. As for why this happened, what Mu Chunfeng said was that four hundred years ago, the Kunlun Sect issued a heroic order to organize righteous people to encircle and suppress the Demon Dao. But the sect that actually sends people to participate is only the Red Sky Conch Sect. Since then, the Kunlun Sect has no longer invited the other ten branches of the Tianluo Sect to hold grand gatherings every ten years.

It was precisely because he knew that the other members of the Tianluo Sect did not participate in the grand meeting of the Kunlun Sect that Gu Zheng felt that the betting was very interesting. After all, the other party might not even know who he was, so he would naturally A lot less scruples.

As for the "Situ Ya incident" in the past, Gu Zheng was not worried. After all, when Situ Ya went to Emei, he was only suspicious! And one suspicion is not enough, let his portrait spread throughout the Heitianluo faction.

The matter was not different from what Gu Zheng had guessed, and the people he wanted to target did not know who he was. But who would have thought that Lao Zhou, who was originally inconspicuous at all, would have guessed his identity!

Although the other ten branches of the Tianluo Sect did not participate in the Kunlun Grand Gathering, they still heard more or less about the major events that happened during the grand event. Gu Zheng stole the limelight in Longzhan Square, which was undoubtedly a major event during the event.

"You are the head of Emei?" Jiang An stared at Gu Zheng.

"That's right."

Now that he was guessed, Gu Zheng didn't want to deny it. After admitting it, he smiled at Jiang An: "What? Are you scared?"

Jiang An originally thought that he would win 100% of the time, but after knowing Gu Zheng's identity, the certainty has dropped by 40% rapidly, and he even felt grateful to 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 ruthless contempt!

"Afraid? I have nothing to be afraid of! I'm going to try again today, whether the cold shrimp you cook is bad or delicious!"

Although the odds of winning have dropped by 40%, there are still 60% after all, not to mention the situation has reached such a point, if one hears the name of Gu Zheng, and dare not even question it, that is the truth. Disgraceful and lost at home.

"good!"

The person who applauded was not Gu Zheng, but Xie Ying from Huang Tianluo's sect.

Although the branches of the Tianluo Sect are fighting each other, Gu Zheng is an outsider after all. Seeing that Jiang An is at a disadvantage in the verbal confrontation with Gu Zheng, let alone Xie Ying is not convinced, even Cao Yi is not convinced. It's written all over your face! They are also in their twenties, and they are not inferior to Jiang An in terms of competitiveness.

"Fellow Daoist Xie doesn't seem very convinced either. Since everyone applauds Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you have the guts to take part in the bet?"

Gu Zheng’s words did not leave room for others, and Xie Ying did not hesitate at all: "Convince? Why should I be convinced? Maybe you are just bluffing, maybe you are just in name, maybe what you are doing is really bad? Bet, bet, I thank you." Ying is not afraid of you!"

"Very well, what I appreciate is your unyielding fighting spirit!"

Gu Zheng stretched out his thumb to Xie Ying, and turned to look at Cao Yi who was beside him: "Where is Cao Daoyou? Since dissatisfaction is written on his face, why don't you take a gamble?"

"Hehe." Cao Ying smiled: "It's useless for the ancient head to provoke me. I'm not some big man who stands up to the sky. I'm just a weak little girl. Bet on such exciting things, let you men do it. I'll just watch quietly from the sidelines."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up if you want to gamble, and talk about the rules first!"

Jiang An was domineering, and with Xie Ying's joining, his chances of winning rose back to 10%. This 10% is called confidence, anyway, he won't be the only one who loses.
