The rice porridge in the pot was completely replenished by Mu Mu.
It was indeed Tian, with her little head stuck into the pot. In the end, Gu Zheng couldn't bear it any longer, so he snatched the pot over and forcibly wiped it away.
"You actually eat alone, don't do it next time!"
Mumu felt sorry in his heart, but he also knew that it was really gone. After Gu Zheng finished washing the pot, he glared at him again. Gu Zheng did not think about Mumu when making breakfast this time. It was mainly in the hotel. Gu Zheng thought Mumu would go there.
Have breakfast at the hotel.
"Okay, I'll do your thing next time!"
Seeing Mumu's round eyes, Gu Zheng could only agree first. Seeing Gu Zheng agree, Mumu's expression immediately improved, and his expression changed so quickly that Gu Zheng was speechless.
"That's pretty much it. Hey, how did you make this pot of porridge?"
Seeing Gu Zheng come back from cleaning the pot, Mumu finally realized something was wrong. Gu Zheng was just an ordinary small soup pot. He didn't pay attention when he was eating it, but now he realized that he couldn't cook such a pot on his own.
"I have a small stove, but I'm not allowed to use it here. I put it away when I'm done with it. Come on, I can't be late!"
Gu Zheng walked out of the door first with a box in his arms. Mumu followed immediately, his eyes widening: "That's not right, Gu Zheng, we came together, you didn't bring this box with you?"
The two came together on the high-speed train, and Gu Zheng brought very few things with him. Mu Mu clearly remembered this, and he had never seen this box before.
"I asked someone to bring it to me. It was delivered to me last night. It's inconvenient to carry so many things on the high-speed rail!"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes. Mu Mu had so many questions. He actually had these things with him all the time and placed them all in the prehistoric space.
"So that's it!"
Mumu didn't ask. Although this box was not big, it was really troublesome to carry it on the high-speed rail. Mumu didn't think about it. Since a friend was coming, why not just take the friend's car instead of taking the high-speed rail?
In fact, Mumuzhen asked, and Gu Zheng also answered that his friend was coming in the afternoon and would arrive in the evening. He needed to register first, so he came first.
The preliminary round of the ancient competition is held in the ninth court. The ninth court is located in the university town. It uses an indoor basketball court that has not yet been built by a school. Although it is simple, it is not afraid of being dirty. People will not let you use the built basketball court.
Yes, after all, this is a food competition, it is fire and oil, and it is easy to stain and damage the basketball court floor.
There are various venues for the other preliminary competitions. They are basically indoors and there are only three outdoor venues. All of them have sheds. The main reason is that there is rain in the forecast these days, and it is really troublesome when it rains outdoors.
When Gu Zheng arrived at the preliminary competition venue, there were already a lot of people here. For this food competition, all kitchen utensils and tableware are brought by yourself. The official only provides a fire source and a food preparation table. There are no restrictions on the food you can cook.
Just cook what you think you are good at, but there is a time limit, and each person should not cook more than half an hour.
When Gu Zheng arrived, it had already been set up. There were a total of twenty-five competition stages, which meant that twenty-five people could compete at the same time, and there were also twenty judges for scoring.
The preliminary round is not that troublesome. Each judge scores ten points, and finally removes the highest score, then removes the lowest score, and the remaining average score is the final score.
In each preliminary round, the top 100 with the highest scores will advance to the next round. Officials have given all the statistics. In the end, a total of 5,523 people successfully registered. There are only 20 preliminary rounds.
Only taking the top 100 people in a preliminary round means that only 2,000 people can pass the first preliminary round, and more than half of them will be eliminated in one go. The competition is very cruel.
"Prepare from the 1st to the 25th, wait from the 26th to the 50th!"
A staff member came out and shouted to the people waiting outside. The first three preliminary rounds were basically ordinary chefs. Those famous chefs and chefs with status were all directly recommended to the fourth preliminary round.
Those who are not recommended are either not famous enough or have insufficient status.
Therefore, neither the media nor the officials paid much attention to the first three preliminary rounds. What they paid attention to was the more than 200 famous chefs who were directly recommended.
Gu Zheng looked at his number plate. He was number seventy-three. Judging from this number, he was the third batch of people competing.
"I'm a little nervous, there are so many people!"
"Me too. Only a hundred people can pass this time. I don't know if they can pass!"
"Where are you from? You brought so many chili peppers. Could it be that you are cooking Hunan cuisine?"
The people around, whether they know each other or not, are all whispering there. They have already entered the venue from the 1st to the 25th, and many people are paying attention to them. The people here today are all competitors, and they have prepared themselves.
You can also observe others from time to time.
"Aren't you going to work? Why are you always here?"
Gu Zheng asked Mumu. Mumu also had a job. He wanted to follow the report of this competition all the way. Only one person was needed in front of him. Someone would not come to help until the preliminary competition on the fourth day. The final finals would be posted on the website.
live streaming.
"I'm just working here. You are a chef in Shencheng and a commentator on our website. Isn't it the same if I follow you and report on you?"
Mumu gave him a strange look. The follow-up report was very casual, just get to know her better. She was at the competition anyway, so anyone could follow her, so she might as well just follow Gu Zheng.
"It's up to you, but I feel it's best not to write about me. I have nothing to write about!"
Gu Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Mumu's temper really hadn't changed at all. He had to be careful when talking to her, as he might get choked if he wasn't careful.
The first batch of twenty-five people who entered had already set up their kitchen utensils, took out the ingredients, and started cooking. They only had half an hour. If they didn't cook well, they would be considered a failure. If they failed, they would not get any points, and it would be impossible to advance.
One group takes half an hour, and two groups of fifty people can be held in one hour. However, because it takes time for the judges to score and clean up the scene, it basically takes one and a half hours for two groups. Compared with more than two hundred people, it also takes one hour.
All day long.
After eating and commenting all day long, many people envy these judges, but they don’t know the judges’ own pain.
It sounds good to keep eating, but this is the preliminary round. Who knows how good the food these people make is good. If it tastes good, it will be painful. The key is to keep eating all day long.
, these judges are all mentally prepared, today will definitely be a difficult day.
There are more than 270 contestants participating in the competition at each venue. Even if one person takes one bite, he will eat more than 270 bites. This is not a small amount.
Anyone who has participated in a food competition knows that the most critical thing is the judge's taste, so you don't need to cook a lot, as long as it tastes good. If the taste is not good, it must have a big impact.
Twenty-five people all took out their own things, and some of the fast people had already started cooking.
"snake!"
Mumu suddenly screamed. Among the twenty-five people, one person took out a live snake and killed it. It seemed that he was going to make snake-related food. Some experienced chefs couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
Not all of the judges are men. This time, seven of the twenty judges are women. Generally speaking, female judges are not interested in snake food, let alone performing live snake killings.
Sure enough, several female judges had frowned. A bad first impression would arouse resentment in the heart. This snake-making chef was destined not to get a high score today. Those frowning female judges would definitely
