Gu Jingzhao is dead.

Amid the heated debate, he closed his eyes peacefully.

"He's dying!"

"Damn it! He was killed by the food you cooked!"

"He's obviously exhausted! You forced him to finish all the dishes and he was exhausted!"

"Damn it! If I say it's a case of death, it's a case of death!"

…

Gu Jingzhao was in darkness, and there was no peace in his ears. These people made his head buzz with noise! ​​As long as he could make a sound, he just wanted to yell:

"Stop making noise!"

[Ding! System binding]

[Progress: 70%]

【80%...】

【90%...】

【100%, binding successful!】

All the sounds around him disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace of dust in the darkness. A very sweet voice sounded in my mind:

[Hello host, welcome to the ‘Food—System’. Please answer the following questions carefully before you can open the system.]

【Excuse me, how did you die?】

Gu Jingzhao: ...If we don’t ask this question, they can still be friends!

His profession has a nice name, called "Gourmet Appreciator". Just yesterday, he was invited to participate in a food show to taste innovative dishes from various Michelin chefs.

Before the program was recorded, he received a notice from the program team that in order to show that the chef's cooking was delicious, he must eat all the dishes served on the table!

Gu Jing Zhao, a conscientious worker, confidently made an "OK" gesture. Then... he encountered the first Waterloo in his career! It was also the last time!

Too! Difficult! To Eat!

Although I know that the program crew is putting on a show to promote some so-called new chefs, but who can tell him what the hell these are: nine-turn large intestine sashimi, braised pork belly, fermented radish skin...!

Gu Jingzhao upheld his professionalism and ate the last plate of salt-bathed cherry tomatoes with a smile on his face. His hands were shaking and he could not hold the plate or chopsticks steadily. He was sweating on his forehead.

The corners of his mouth were twitching, and his stomach was churning.

Reason told him not to eat it, otherwise he would die! But years of professional ethics told him that after receiving money from Party A’s father, he would still have to fulfill his father’s demands no matter how outrageous!

one,

two,

three,

The roasted and slightly burnt tomatoes exploded with juice in his mouth, and the original sweet and sour taste was soaked by salt and turned into a salty and sour taste full of strange texture, like swill and sweat. Gu Jingzhao endured the last bite.

pellets.

He faced the camera and kept smiling, "This salt bath tomato dish is the best in the world, very delicious..."

Paji.

He lost strength in his hand and the plate fell down. He had exhausted all his strength until now. Gu Jingzhao could no longer hold on, his eyes turned white and he fell straight to the ground.

Therefore, he was not beaten to death, nor was he forced to death.

He was eaten to death alive!

[Excuse me, host, how did you die? 】

The system asked him again, pulling him out of his memories.

Gu Jingzhao sneered, how did he die? He died because of a group of cooks who did not know cooking skills and made blind innovations. They abided by professional ethics but told lies without conscience, but the direct cause of his death——

"Eat bad food and you will die from bad food!" Gu Jingzhao said.

The system reacted for a moment, [If I were to rate these dishes you ate, how would you rate them?]

"0 points!" Gu Jingzhao was filled with resentment.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the ‘food review system’. The host can use review coupons to exchange for health points and props. More features are waiting for your exploration. 】

After the system finishes speaking, it jumps to the props panel.

There are four modules: ingredients, kitchen utensils, seasonings, and exquisite products. The exquisite products are in a locked state and require a certain number of praise coupons to be opened. The props in the other three modules are very rich, and Jing Zhao is dazzled by them.

The ingredients range from the most common Chinese cabbage to the top-notch shark fins and bear paws. The unlocking conditions of the ingredients are directly proportional to their rarity.

Cabbage can be opened with just one good review coupon. Meats ranging from ordinary pork and beef to high-end ingredients such as venison and horse meat require at least 50 good review coupons and a maximum of 500 good review coupons.

When Jing Zhao turned to the 9999 shark's fin, he saw that there was another page after it! He calmed down, since he couldn't afford it anyway, and with the attitude of coming here, he decisively turned to the last page, his eyes directly focused on the last ultimate ingredient.

Xiancao - 99999 positive reviews!

Jing Zhao said angrily: "You are cheating on me, the system. A bowl of burnt fairy grass that costs three yuan costs you tens of thousands. Are you selling Xinjiang cut cakes?"

The system voice is gentle and sweet: [Host, don’t worry, this system is fair and simple. It’s expensive, you can’t buy it, you can’t suffer, you can’t be cheated. If the host is suspicious of the system pricing, you can report a complaint to the system administration office.]

Jing Zhao felt that he had been cheated, but there was no evidence. The system prompt sounded again:

[Ding! The novice gift package has been delivered. Is the host enabled? 】

Gu Jingzhao secretly marveled: So fast!

When he used to play games, his favorite part was the novice gift packs. Some of the newcomer gift packs for conscientious games were as rich and exciting as free prostitution.

Jing Zhao said: "Turn it on."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a rolling pin and 1 day of health.]

Jing Zhao:……

"Is this the end?"

"Is this what the Chesou system only sends out?"

The system ignored his complaints.

[First stage task: collect 4 praise coupons. Task progress: 0/4.]

The sound of the system gradually drifted away, and the world returned to darkness.

In his daze, Jing Zhao felt that everything in the past was leaving him. He was like a puff of smoke, drifting along with the wind and fog in a daze.

"Gu Jingzhao, Gu Hei..."

Jing Zhao vaguely heard someone calling him. He raised his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and the figure was blurred. He slowly closed them again until the next moment——

"Pfft! Cough cough cough." Gu Jingzhao spat out a mouthful of salty water, "Who the hell is that old foot washing water!"

The boy was sprayed all over his face and body by Jing Zhao's "footwashing water". His face fell, and he was still holding the half bowl of water that Jing Zhao hadn't finished drinking, "Ha! You're not dead!"

The young man put the bowl on the old table and sat down on the bench. One of his long legs was on the edge of the bench, and the other was lazily staring at the floor. His left hand was on the edge of the table, and he tilted his head to look at Jing Zhao.

The burlap clothes couldn't cover up the nobility around him. He had a pair of extremely long and beautiful red phoenix eyes, as clear as water, his raised eyebrows seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and the corners of his mouth were tainted with a bit of evil.

Jing Zhao's head hurt a little. He glanced at the boy and then lay back down. He raised his hand to rub his swollen temples and thought back over his past and present lives.

It should be the fourth year of Qin Shihuang. In 243 BC, the original owner of this body was also named Gu Jingzhao, who was from Yuequan County, Fujian Province. He opened a restaurant called "Shang Shi Ji". In fact, this restaurant was the restaurant he inherited from his father's generation.

It was inherited from the original owner who was born with a false mouth (referring to a person who has lost his sense of taste) and was not suitable to be a cook. However, he loved cooking very much and especially liked to create some innovations.

But it was just the same thing as chrysanthemum stewed orange soup, which made the whole county suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Later, no one wanted to come to his house to eat. They all said: Other places taste bad and cost money, but Shang Shiji tastes bad and kills you!

However, the original owner continued to innovate tirelessly, and eventually the business of this restaurant became worse and worse, and now it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The young man in front of me is called Aning. He was picked up by the original owner from the rocky beach three days ago when he was fishing in Xiasha. There is a small jade pendant around his neck, with the word "Ning" engraved on it.

The original owner knew that it was the writing of the Qin State. There was an erudite old man in Quan County who could speak the languages ​​​​of the seven countries and knew their writing. The original owner studied with him for a while. But the strange thing is that Aning spoke

He speaks standard Minyue dialect, and there is no Qin accent at all when he speaks.

The original owner didn't pick him back out of kindness, but because no one in the whole town wanted to eat the food he cooked anymore. He picked Aning back just to try out the food.

When Gu Jingzhao thought of this, he couldn't help but feel pity for Aning. This child's life was really miserable. He suffered the same fate as himself. He was almost killed by a cook with no professional ethics.
Chapter completed!
