Gu Zheng returned to Shencheng. Every time he went out, he would not see anyone for a few days, half a month or even a month at most.
Everyone in the store has become accustomed to his outings. Anyway, these two bosses are very unpredictable, so it's not easy to meet them once.
Fortunately, everything in the store is on track, and the store manager also has management skills. He and Gao Changhe cooperate, and everything is in order, both in the store and in the kitchen. Guji Chicken Blood Soup has become the best business on their street.
of restaurants.
A good business is bound to have jealous people.
When Gu Zheng went to Tianshan, some unsighted gangsters came to cause trouble. One day they even disrupted the store's business. As a result, these gangsters are still living in the hospital, and there was no good result.
In addition to small gangsters, there are also people who want to buy this store or invest in it.
Most of them are nouveau riche. As soon as people with real energy find out who the boss of the store is, their thoughts will naturally disappear. Ordinary nouveau riche are fine. Just tell them it’s impossible. Last time there was a stir-up.
The nouveau riche who live in real estate say how rich they are, and they are convinced that they like this place.
After learning that there were two bosses in the store, he said that the business of two bosses was unstable and that three bosses would do the job.
He also said that he would talk to two bosses, and each would buy 60% of their shares at any price they wanted. As a result, this guy is still squatting in the bureau.
He had a dirty butt when it came to real estate speculation. He created multiple false identities and had Chang Feng thrown into them.
After these few incidents, this kind of trouble became less common. However, these ancient disputes were handled by Chang Feng without anyone knowing about it. It is good to have a partner with a strong background. At least you don’t have to think about many troublesome things anymore.
It won't disturb the ancient struggle.
On the second day after returning to Shanghai, Gu Zheng went around the store and then went directly to another place.
This is a small restaurant decorated in an antique style. It is not large in area, but it is very unique. It was not lunch time when Gu Zheng went there, and it was still in the morning. It was not very busy inside, but there were many people coming to make reservations.
This store only accepts in-store reservations, not phone reservations, and reservations can only be made on the same day, not in advance.
The consumption here is not low, and the minimum consumption per table is more than a thousand yuan. Even so, this store is fully booked every day, and you can't get a reservation even if you come late.
The reason is very simple. The chef of this restaurant is named Hu. He is a well-known celebrity chef in China. He has participated in three Chinese cuisine competitions, finishing sixth once and tenth twice.
He has been in the top ten in three Chinese food competitions, which is already a very impressive person.
"Brother Gu, why are you here!"
As soon as Gu Zheng entered the store, a sound of surprise rang out. Wang Dong put down what he was holding, wiped it on his apron, and ran over happily.
What Gu Zheng came to was the small restaurant opened by his Uncle Hu. This test was a test to become famous. There were only fifteen days left. Excluding yesterday, there were only fourteen days left. Gu Zheng didn’t know what to do to make it faster.
He became famous in the food world, so he came to Uncle Ho specially to ask for his advice.
In any case, Uncle Ho is also a senior, so it’s best to listen to his opinions.
"I came to see Uncle Hu for something. Is he here?"
Wang Dong is learning very well here and making rapid progress. He is no longer the Wang Dong who only knows how to cook egg fried rice. Uncle Hu is very satisfied with him and has been teaching him carefully.
In a few years, Wang Dong will be able to stand alone, and may even have the opportunity to participate in the Chinese Food Competition and get a good ranking in the future.
"Master is here, I will take you there!"
Wang Dong nodded excitedly and walked inside with Gu Zheng. Uncle Hu was sitting in the office drinking tea alone. When he was not cooking, he liked to sit quietly here alone.
"Gu Zheng is coming!"
Seeing Gu Zheng, Uncle Hu had a smile on his face. Gu Zheng was a junior whom he had watched grow up, and now he has achieved good results. He and Gu Ming were very pleased.
"Uncle Hu, I would like to ask you how to become famous in the food industry in a short period of time?"
Gu Zheng got straight to the point and directly explained his purpose of coming. Time was tight and Uncle Hu was not an outsider. He didn't want to waste any more time.
"Be famous, you want to be famous, why?" Uncle Hu was full of doubts.
"Don't worry about why, I have this idea anyway, and it's best to make my reputation in the food world higher than all the contestants before the food competition, as long as it's in the food world!"
Gu Zheng spoke quickly. Uncle Hu looked at him, his face suddenly showed surprise, and he said with a smile: "Are you stimulated by something? Don't worry about those rumors, just be yourself!"
These days, there are indeed bad remarks about Gu Zheng on the Internet. He is not alone, several unknown contestants have been attacked, Gu Zheng is among them, and even Uncle Ho has also heard some bad remarks.
"Uncle Hu, just tell me if there is any quick way to become famous!"
Gu Zheng did not object or admit it. He happened to have no reason at the moment. Uncle Hu came up with a reason for him, so there was no need to waste his brain.
"You are still so competitive!"
Uncle Hu sighed. He had watched Gu Zheng grow up since he was a child. Especially after Gu Ming went abroad, he even attended the parent-teacher meetings. Of course he understood Gu Zheng's temperament very well.
"Actually, if you want to become famous quickly, it is very simple, but the prerequisite is that you must have absolute strength. Since you want to become famous in the food industry, you must conquer the taste buds of more people and let people in the food industry recognize you and convince you. You
You don’t need to do too much, you just need to make more delicious food and let them eat the delicious food you made, and they will naturally recognize you, which is equivalent to making you famous!”
Uncle Hu spoke slowly, and Gu Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter. Uncle Hu was right. Since he wanted to become famous in the food world, he should let the food he made make him famous. He didn't
I have to worry about how to become famous every day.
"Uncle Hu, thank you!"
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea. Gu Zheng thanked Uncle Hu and left quickly.
"This kid!"
Looking at Gu Zheng's hurried away figure, Uncle Hu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. After thinking for a moment, he said to Wang Dong: "Gu Zheng is a carefree person, and you are careful, which complements each other perfectly. Everyone else participating in the food competition has assistants."
, Gu Zheng definitely doesn’t, go over and help him, experiencing a Chinese food competition will also be a kind of exercise for you!”
"Master, do you want me to participate in the Chinese Food Competition?"
Wang Dong was stunned and pointed at his nose. He envied Gu Zheng for being able to participate in the biggest event in the country so early. He never thought that he could go too.
Even if he was just going as an assistant, he never thought about it.
"I didn't ask you to go, but you went to help Gu Zheng. There are not many people who can help him. You also keep an eye on him. If you need anything, please contact me directly!"
Uncle Hu smiled and nodded. The surprise in Wang Dong's eyes became even greater, and he immediately jumped up: "Yes, master, I'll go right away!"
While he was talking, he had already ran out, shouting "Brother Gu, wait for me" while running, which made Uncle Hu couldn't help but shake his head again.
Gu Zheng was a little surprised that Wang Dong came to help him, but he was more happy.
Contestants participating in the Chinese Cuisine Competition can each bring one or two assistants. He had not planned to bring one before, but now with Wang Dong's help, he can bring one.
Wang Dong was helping him during the Hangzhou Food Competition, and the two of them had a tacit understanding. Gu Zheng was very satisfied that Wang Dong could continue to help him this time.
After returning home, Gu Zheng began to pack his things.
There are not just one or two people in the food industry, nor are they the only three hundred chefs participating in the competition this time. If people working in the food industry can be considered people in the food industry, then there must be tens of millions of people across the country.
Gu Zheng wants to become famous in the food industry and become the most famous contestant before the Chinese Food Competition. He cannot focus on the most ordinary food practitioners, but must start with the top people in the industry.
Who are the top people? Apart from the seniors, they are the contestants who have participated in the Chinese Food Competition and this time.
The Chinese Cuisine Competition is the highest-level cooking competition in the country. It is undeniable that those who can participate in such a competition are all masters among masters. Being famous among these people is equivalent to being famous among everyone, and his test will be completed.
Most of these people are now in the capital, and there are not many in Shanghai. If he wants to complete this test, he needs to rush to the capital in advance.
Gu Zheng came back to pack his things and planned to set off.
Wang Dong didn't have anything at all, so he thought he would just buy a few cheap clothes for himself in the capital. He didn't bring any gifts and followed Gu Zheng. After the two packed up their things, they set off to the train station and bought the fastest one.
A high-speed rail ticket to Beijing.
Time is running out. It's already afternoon today, and there's definitely nothing that can be done. He has to wait until tomorrow. If he waits for tomorrow, his test time will only be thirteen days, which means that everything else will have to be spent in these ten days.
Completed within three days.
"Old Gao, I'm troubling you again!"
On the train, Gu Zheng took out his cell phone and called Mr. Gao first. Gu Zheng was a blind person in the capital. He didn’t know anything, so he had to find someone he knew for help. Uncle Hu has been in Shanghai all year round, and Gu Ming
He was always abroad. Gu Zheng couldn't think of anyone else, so he could only continue to trouble Gao Lao.
Mr. Gao is from the Food Association and has many acquaintances in Beijing. Many people in the Food Association are seniors in the industry. If Gu Zheng wants to become famous, he needs to invite them.
"I can help you make an invitation, but they are very busy right now, so I can't guarantee that they will all be there!"
After listening to Gu Zheng's request, Mr. Gao was silent for a while and then said softly that Gu Zheng wanted to become famous before the competition and wanted all these people to taste his delicious food. His intentions were good, but time was a bit tight, and besides, the Chinese Food Competition
It will be held soon, everyone is very busy at this time, and Mr. Gao does not guarantee that all these people can attend.
"Mr. Gao, all you need to do is invite me, thank you!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly replied, if the damn weapon spirit hadn't given him such a test, Gu Zheng wouldn't have wanted to do it. Gu Zheng had always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile and didn't like being so high-profile.
Although this time it was in the name of tasting and appreciating and inviting seniors to give guidance, it was still a bit high-profile to invite so many people.
"You don't have to thank me now, thank you later when I help you invite people!"
Gao Lao responded with a smile. It is actually not a bad thing for Gu Zheng to want to express himself. Chefs cannot be too self-conscious and must show themselves. The purpose of the Chinese Food Competition is to showcase famous Chinese chefs and carry out culinary exchanges.
It's just that Gu Zheng didn't choose the right time. At this time, it will always give others other feelings.
The high-speed train was very fast, and it arrived in Beijing in the evening. A car drove to the platform. As soon as Gu Zheng got off the train, he saw someone waving to him in front of the car.
"Gu Zheng, do you really want to throw a big banquet?"
The person who came to pick Gu Zheng up was none other than his partner Chang Feng. This guy happened to be in the capital, so Gu Zheng called him and asked him to help him.
Since Gu Zheng wants to make a name for himself with delicious food and entertain many seniors and colleagues, he needs a suitable venue. It is a waste of time for Gu Zheng to find such a venue by himself, and he may not be able to find it, so he asked Chang Feng to help
Too busy.
He was the right one. Chang Feng immediately booked a restaurant. Chang Feng didn't know how many days it would take Gu Zheng to use it, so he simply booked it for half a month. Gu Zheng could use it as he pleased until the Chinese Food Competition started.
"Yes, why do you ask?" Gu Zheng nodded.
"This is not like your temperament. When did you become so generous? Come on, let me see if it's you or someone is pretending to be you!"
As Chang Feng said this, he was going to rub Gu Zheng's face to see if someone was wearing a human skin mask and pretending to be him. Gu Zheng hurriedly knocked his hand aside.
"I've never been stingy, okay? If I were stingy, you would still be able to eat the delicious food I cooked so many times!"
"Do you know how many people you have to invite like this? No matter how much I eat, I won't be able to eat as much as you did this time!"
Chang Feng was not convinced and immediately judged. He was right. There were many people to be invited to this ancient competition. Since we were inviting people to taste the food, we had to let them eat enough. We couldn't just take one bite and count it as a tasting.
In this way, Gu Zheng really has to make a lot of delicious food, and he must do it with his own hands and use good ingredients.
"You think I want to do this, but I can't help it!"
Gu Zheng muttered in his heart and started scolding the weapon spirit again. If it weren't for the damn weapon spirit, how could he do this? This time he would definitely bleed heavily and be very tired.
Elder Gao has already taken action, and Gu Zheng has no other option, so he should prepare with peace of mind and complete this test first.
Chang Feng had a house in the capital, and there was more than one. After consulting Gu Zheng, he directly brought it back to his own residence, which was a small villa in the suburbs. It was not large in area, but very exquisite.
Such a small villa is not low in value in a city with high housing prices like Beijing.
"The house is nice!" After entering the house, Gu Zheng nodded and praised.
"Thanks to you, the store has made a lot of money recently, so I bought it!" Chang Feng said with a smile. There was no nanny here, so he went directly to boil water and pour tea.
"Come on, the little money we make is enough for you to live between your teeth. Besides, even if we give you all the money we've made from our business in the past few months, you won't be able to buy this place!"
Gu Zheng immediately argued that their business was very profitable, with a monthly turnover of 15 million and a net profit of 6 to 7 million.
But after all, it hasn’t been long since it opened, only a few months. It’s impossible to buy such a villa for less than 30 million in the capital. Besides, Chang Feng couldn’t have just bought it. It’s possible that he bought it a long time ago, deliberately doing this.
Just saying.
"Haha, but our store is so profitable, which is beyond my expectation!"
Chang Feng laughed loudly. He was indeed joking. Wang Dong was a little embarrassed on the side. He had never been to such a luxuriously decorated place.
"You will be staying here for the next few days. I will send you a special car and prepare a place for you. But I only have one request. I must have a share of the delicious food cooked in the past few days!"
When Gu Zheng came to the capital, Chang Feng gave him all his hospitality. He didn't want to stay in the villa, but it was specially prepared for Gu Zheng and Wang Dong to live here.
He also prepared a car for Gu Zheng, with a driver. He was not familiar with Gu Zheng in the capital, so he could directly tell the driver where he wanted to go. The place he found for Gu Zheng was a medium-sized restaurant, and he paid all the fees in the past half month.
Let him use it, and even all the staff inside must obey his arrangements.
For the past half month, he has been the boss of that restaurant.
"I won't thank you anymore. I'll definitely prepare something delicious for you!"
He was very satisfied with Chang Feng's preparation for the ancient war. He knew Chang Feng's preferences. As long as it could fill his stomach, it would be easy to pass the time.
"Okay, what are you going to eat tonight?"
Chang Feng immediately exclaimed happily. This guy didn't want to waste tonight. In the end, Gu Zheng made egg fried rice, and he left with satisfaction only after he was full.
Wang Dong was even more impressed by Gu Zheng's egg fried rice.
He was the one who originally made egg fried rice, and Gu Zheng learned it from him, but now Gu Zheng makes it much better than him. Even with the same ingredients, what he makes can't compare to Gu Zheng. It's far behind.
far surpassed him.
Especially Gu Zheng's fried rice with eggs, he is very envious because he can separate every grain of rice. This is something he has always dreamed of doing. He hasn't been able to do it yet, but Gu Zheng has already done it.
Early the next morning, the driver arrived in front of the villa.
Chang Feng sent a Mercedes-Benz business car to Gu Zheng. The driver's phone number was given to Gu Zheng yesterday by Chang Feng. He is on call 24 hours a day. Gu Zheng is not in the mood to go anywhere else now, so he will prepare himself in advance.
He took his belongings and went directly to the restaurant prepared by Chang Feng.
In the morning, Gu Zheng went to several high-end markets, bought some things, and rushed to the restaurant after lunch.
"Ancient board!"
There was a lot of people in the store, everyone from the store manager to the chef was there, and they all greeted Gu Zheng at the door. Even though the original chef was not there, Gu Zheng had already taken his place, so it was strange that he was still here.
The boss behind this store is a younger brother of Chang Feng, and everyone has been instructed to fully cooperate with Gu Zheng.
The boss even came to the store specially today to help Gu Zheng. He was worried that his subordinates would do a bad job and offend Gu Zheng. Chang Feng rarely told him what to do. If he messed up this time, he would probably be in trouble in the future.
It will not be easy to see Chang Feng again.
The employees in the store looked at Gu Zheng with some curiosity and some excitement.
Before Gu Zheng came, the boss had already introduced him. He was the youngest contestant in the Chinese Food Competition. He would be cooking at their place these days, entertaining some people, asking them to serve him well, and learn from other famous chefs.
.
Anyone who can participate in the Chinese Food Competition is a famous chef in their eyes, no matter how old they are.
This restaurant is not big, and even the previous chef is not well-known. For many of them, this is the first time to see a famous chef, and it is a famous chef who can participate in the Chinese Food Competition, and they are inevitably a little excited.
"Guban, no matter what we need to do, just ask us!"
The owner of the restaurant accompanied Gu Zheng and bought tickets there. Gu Zheng took a look at the restaurant. It was not a big place, but it was very exquisite. It mainly made some exquisite side dishes and some seafood, and the consumption level was slightly higher.
The location of this store is not in the city center, which is also Gu Zheng's requirement. He does not need a particularly good location, but the transportation must be convenient and not particularly remote. It is not only close to the subway, but also on the Ring Road, so the transportation is very convenient.
The most satisfying thing about this restaurant for Gu Zheng is that it has an open kitchen. People sitting outside can see the chefs cooking inside. Originally, this was to make everyone feel more at ease about the food in the store. Now,
For ancient disputes, it is of great use.
The process of making delicious food can be seen by all the guests outside.
Cooking skills are not only about eating, but also about watching. Being able to see the process of making delicious food is more conducive to his fame.
"You guys should rest first. I'll make preparations. Call me when someone comes!"
Gu Zheng arrived early. Looking at the time, he decided to go to the kitchen to prepare first.
Mr. Gao has already sent out invitations for him. Not only are there people from the Food Association, but also many seniors he knows. In addition, Uncle Hu and Gu Ming have also invited some old friends for Gu Zheng. This is the first day.
Zheng didn't invite too many people. He was worried that too many people would come and he wouldn't be able to do it alone.
The invitation time is always in the afternoon, it's not yet three o'clock yet, so get ready, the guests will usually arrive around four o'clock.
This time it was a tasting, not an invitation to dinner, so the time was earlier so that busy people would not delay their evening affairs.
Wang Dong and the employees in the store helped lift a lot of things from the car. The time soon reached three-twenty. Gu Zheng estimated the time and took out three fairy chickens.
The time has not come yet, Gu Zheng is already ready to start. The first thing he makes is chicken blood soup. Since he wants to become famous this time, there is no need to hide his clumsiness. Among all the delicacies he makes, chicken blood soup can be found anywhere.
When you eat it, it releases a huge influence.
Gu Zheng's plan is to let these guests smell the fragrance before they enter the store, so that when they arrive, they can immediately taste the delicious chicken blood soup.
Half an hour later, a strong aroma first spread in the restaurant. From the owner to the employees, everyone in the restaurant was stunned for a moment. They all turned their heads and looked at Gu Zheng in the kitchen.
The fragrance continued to spread outwards, and soon it reached outside the store. Some people walking on the road stopped and sniffed their noses, smelling the fragrance carefully.
The time of this meeting was ten o'clock in the morning, which was neither breakfast nor lunch time. Many people were confused as to where such a fragrant fragrance came from.
There are only two people in the kitchen, Gu Zheng and Wang Dong. He can't use the other chefs and doesn't need them.
Looking at the chicken soup that was constantly boiling in the pot, Gu Zheng had a faint smile on his lips. This time he deliberately used low heat to cook it, so that the cooking time would be longer. As long as he didn't leave the pot, the aroma would remain.
Spread outward.
The fragrance spreads a full eight miles away, that is, four kilometers. With Gu Zheng as the center, it can spread four thousand meters in any direction.
Fortunately, the location of the restaurant is not the most central place in the capital, otherwise it would affect more people. When Guzheng was in Shanghai, it affected millions of people because of its central location. As a result, millions of people prayed for the test.
.
Four kilometers, eight miles.
Soon everyone in the area smelled the fragrance, and many people were still asking about where such a fragrant thing came from. Only two people who had smelled this fragrance in Shencheng knew that Shencheng Ancient
The owner of Chicken Blood Soup came to the capital and made his own chicken blood soup.
Only the chicken blood soup made by him has this kind of taste.
A car suddenly stopped on the side of the road, and two old men got out of the car.
The two of them were still sniffing there, the older one was named Huang, and the younger one was named Gou. They were the current president of the Gourmet Association respectively.
Gu Zheng also invited them this time. Originally, they had no intention of coming, but Mr. Gao called them personally and told them about the difference in Gu Zheng, and that Gu Zheng was very cooperative in the Laotang incident last time, which made the Food Association very happy.
The impact has almost been resolved. No matter what, this face should be given last time.
Gao Lao's words finally made the two of them decide to come.
Gu Zheng did cooperate last time. Without Gu Zheng's cooperation, just some old people and those Laotang would have given them huge headaches. At that time, there were one or two hundred people who wanted to withdraw from the meeting collectively. If it weren't for Gu Zheng's cooperation, these people would have continued to make trouble. The current incumbent
There is a possibility that Chief Gou will be forced to step down due to their troubles.
For internal scandals, the top leader must be held accountable.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng did not embarrass them, and cooperated very well. He wrote a statement to them. Gu Zheng, the sufferer, stopped talking, and it was hard for others to say anything. The impact gradually faded, big things became small, and small things disappeared.
.
Mr. Gao has brought this matter up, and it is hard for them to refuse. For the sake of face, they can only make this trip today.
The same goes for the previous Chairman Huang. The troublemaker, Ma Shiwei, was brought into the Food Association by him and is also his descendant. He owed Gu Zheng a favor both emotionally and logically. The two of them came together this time to give Gu Zheng face.
"What does it smell like? It's so fragrant?"
President Gou said something first. President Huang looked around, then shook his head slightly and said: "This fragrance is not like the ones coming from around. It is fragrant but not greasy, pure but not mixed. This fragrance is not simple!"
"Xiao Wang, how far is it from us to our destination?"
President Gou suddenly turned around and asked the secretary in the car. The secretary hurriedly took out his mobile phone, checked it and said: "The straight-line distance is two kilometers, and if we walk, there are still three kilometers to get there!"
Two kilometers away in a straight line, President Gou and President Huang looked at each other, and they both understood what the other was thinking.
"It is said that Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup has the ability to transform into human form with a very fragrant fragrance. The fragrance can be smelled by people within eight miles. It caused quite a stir in Shanghai and made his Gu Zheng famous instantly.
Remember Chicken Blood Soup, I have always thought it was an exaggeration, but now I see it is true!"
Chairman Huang sighed, slowly or perhaps, the secretary had already got out of the car and looked at the two of them curiously.
"Lao Gao is right, this young man is indeed extraordinary!"
President Gou smiled. The straight-line distance was still two kilometers, which was equivalent to four miles. They could smell it here. Although it was not as far as eight miles, it was not that easy for the fragrance of food to spread four miles away.
Even before it arrived, he was already looking forward to this tasting.
On the other side, at the door of the restaurant, the first invited guest has already arrived.
The visitor is an old man in the food industry, the champion of the first food competition, Master He Yinghe.
He Ying is seventy-one years old. He won first place in the first Chinese Cuisine Competition thirty years ago. He is a senior in the gastronomy industry. He is from the capital. The reason why he was the first to arrive is because he has a close relationship with Gu.
Ming's relationship is very good.
Back then, Gu Ming was considered his nephew. Gu Ming made the call personally, so he would definitely support it, not to mention that this time it was Gu Zheng.
"Grandpa He!"
Seeing He Ying, Gu Zheng screamed. He Ying walked into the restaurant, sniffed hard again, and then laughed and said: "As soon as I smelled the fragrance, I guessed whether this fragrance was created by your boy.
I never thought it was really you, not bad, very good!"
"Grandpa He, please sit down first. I'm busy here and can't leave. This pot of soup will be ready in a while. I'll apologize to you when it's done!"
He Ying is considered one of our own. It is not surprising that he is the first to come to Gu Zheng. There are several people who will definitely come to this tasting party, and He Ying is one of them. When he was a child, Gu Zheng followed Gu Ming and visited the capital.
He is an old man.
"It's okay, it's okay, you go about your business first!"
He Ying immediately waved his hand and looked around. There were already some fruits on the table in the store. They were not many but very delicate. These fruits were brought by Gu Zheng.
The fruits are not bought in the market, but brought from the prehistoric space by ancient wars. These are some fruits picked within the Emei sect, and their quality is above the second-class.
Just in terms of taste, these fruits are inferior to the fruits bought in the market. It is not easy for the fruits on the market to be inferior, let alone inferior.
He Ying picked up a fruit that was as red as a jujube. He had seen a lot. He had never seen such a fruit before.
Red, like a cherry, with a twig. Holding the twig, He Ying took a small bite.
These fruits have been washed and used high-quality spring water. Gu Zheng also brought some of the mineral water from the Emei Sect and placed it in the prehistoric space.
The juice of the fruit immediately flowed into He Ying's mouth. He Ying's expression froze for a moment and he quickly swallowed the juice into his stomach.
He still doesn't know what kind of fruit it is, but the taste is very unusual. When he bites into it, the juice is sweet but not greasy, sweet to the heart, with a refreshing coolness, as if eating it on the hottest day.
A mouthful of cold ice cubes will make your whole body feel very comfortable.
Unable to resist, He Ying took a few more bites, and after a while he ate the entire fruit.
"Gu Zheng, what kind of fruit is this that is so delicious?"
He Ying couldn't help but ask, he had indeed never eaten such fruit, nor had he even seen it before.
"This is a big cherry, eat more if you like!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He Ying was lucky. Some of the ingredients in the fruits were of ordinary grade. The one he got was an ordinary grade fruit, which was better than the second-class fruits.
The ordinary grade is already the best naturally grown grade on earth, and the taste is certainly not bad.
"good!"
He Ying was not polite. He picked up another fruit similar to a small pear and took a bite. This small pear was of inferior quality. It did not taste as good as the big cherry, but it was not bad. It was much better than others. He Ying should eat it.
It's delicious.
"Mr. He, you are already here!"
Another person came in outside the door, a man in his sixties, and walked directly towards He Yingna.
"Master Zhao, come on, come and try some, the fruits here are very good!"
He Ying raised his head and immediately waved. He saw that the person had participated in the first Chinese Food Competition like him, and was the youngest contestant at the time. However, his results were not as good as his, and he was ranked below average.
Thirty years later, even those with mediocre grades at the beginning have become famous chefs as long as they work hard.
The visitors sat down across from He Ying and tasted the fruits here curiously. He Ying was right, the fruits here taste really extraordinary and cannot be eaten outside.
"Please!"
The store owner was outside. After confirming a person's identity, he immediately asked the waiter to take the person into the store.
The smell of Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup has spread. Some people followed the smell and came here, wanting to go in and have a look, or taste what makes the food so fragrant. The owner of the store led his staff to explain hard,
Today is a private party and not open to the public.
No one is allowed in without an invitation.
At this moment, twenty or thirty people had gathered outside the door. Even if he didn't guard the door, there would always be someone trying to sneak in.
After identifying a few people, the store owner also has experience. Most of the people who come are old people. Those who are younger must be carefully checked, and there is basically no mistake.
At this time, five more seniors arrived, and they were all welcomed in by the waiter.
President Huang and President Gou are all here. President Huang is the previous president of the Food Association, but he is also the honorary president and has a high status in the Food Association.
When he saw the two old people, the shop owner's eyes lit up and he went directly to greet them. He just saw that the two people had different temperaments, so he went over. Although he was also in the catering business, he was just a businessman, and he was only a businessman.
The scale was so small that I had no idea that the two people in front of me were the two presidents of the Food Association.
This is normal. People who like to play Go dare not say that they know the president of the Go Association. Few jade sellers dare to say that they know the name of the president of the Jade Association.
The store owner asked the two old men to be sent in, but still guarded the door.
"President Gou, President Huang!"
Seeing the two old men, everyone sitting in the store stood up with surprise on their faces. They did not expect that Gu Zheng would invite these two great gods to this tasting party.
These two are different from them. They are either idlers or retired people with a name. Unlike these two, they have a pivotal position in the food industry and have a very high influence.
"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down!"
President Gou waved his hand and glanced at President Huang. Sure enough, the aroma spread from here. The aroma of a soup actually spread so far. This alone was extraordinary.
The eyes of the two people quickly fell on the pot that Gu Zheng was cooking. Gu Zheng cooked it slowly, and the white gas formed on it was less, but no matter how little, it was still there, and it also had the shape of a chicken. It was indeed the legendary extremely fragrant shape.
.
With the arrival of the two presidents, some seniors arrived one after another.
By 4:30, a total of more than thirty people had come. Gu Zheng had invited nearly a hundred people in total, all of whom were currently in the capital. Only more than thirty people came. It cannot be said that it was too many, but it cannot be said that it was not too few.
Gu Zheng is still too young and has no reputation or status at all. Although he won the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition, the Hangzhou Food Competition itself was held for the first time and its influence was limited. If it weren’t for the fact that there were many people who had participated in the Chinese Food Competition
If players participate, the impact of that competition will be smaller.
When the time came, Gu Zheng didn't wait and brought the chicken blood soup first.
This chicken blood soup Gu Zheng added five high-grade ingredients, which not only has better therapeutic effect, but also tastes better. It is even better than the one he made when he participated in the food competition in Hangzhou last time.
Nowadays, there is no shortage of high-quality raw materials for Gu Zheng. Since we want to make a name for ourselves, we should put in more to make these old-timers even more shocked.
More than 30 servings of chicken blood soup were not much. Many seniors even gargled their mouths. They had eaten fruit just now, and the aroma of the chicken blood soup was so strong. They did not want the sweetness of the fruit to mix with the taste of the chicken blood soup.
The scents conflict.
But they soon discovered that they were wrong, very wrong.
There is no conflict at all between the sweetness of the fruit and the aroma of the chicken blood soup. Even if you rinse your mouth, the sweetness in your mouth will not completely dissipate. This fragrance is put into your mouth and immediately merges with the sweetness.
Together, they form a sweet fragrance. Not only do the two not have any conflict, but they blend well together.
This makes the seniors who rinse their mouths regret it. If they had known this, they would not rinse their mouths.
The chicken blood soup smells good and tastes even better when you eat it. Just one bite makes everyone who has eaten it give a thumbs up and praise it constantly.
President Gou and President Huang also tasted the fruit and chicken blood soup. Their eyes once again showed wonder. This chicken blood soup is indeed as delicious as the rumors. No, it is better than the rumors. For those who have never tasted it,
, it’s hard to imagine what it tastes like.
Both of them had tasted the Sun Family Chicken Blood Soup, and it was made by Mr. Sun himself using the finest raw materials. The Sun Family Chicken Blood Soup already tasted very good. They had seen before that Gu Zheng’s Chicken Blood Soup was even better than the Sun Family Chicken Blood Soup.
It's done well, but it's limited, not much better.
They don't think anyone can make another major breakthrough in chicken blood soup.
But now they realize that they were wrong, really wrong. Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup is definitely not better or limited, but a real breakthrough or a major breakthrough.
No wonder Lao Sun, a stubborn person, handed Lao Tang over to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng’s Chicken Blood Soup is indeed a masterpiece. Let him inherit and develop Chicken Blood Soup better than anyone else. Although Lao Sun is very stubborn,
But it can be considered as doing the right thing.
The chicken blood soup did not disappoint them. They even felt that they came right this time and should come. If they didn't come, they would definitely regret it. Gu Zheng was indeed an extraordinary child as Lao Gao said.
Just the cooking skills of chicken blood soup can make Gu Zheng firmly enter the top 30 in this food competition. If Gu Zheng has other cooking skills that can be compared with chicken blood soup, even if it is just a little inferior, he will be in the top 30 this time.
Ten are no problem.
To get into the top ten, you have to fight for the top three. Historically, Chinese food competitions are not competitions where you can win with just one type of food.
Moreover, the Chinese Food Competition is different from the Hangzhou Food Competition. As long as the cooking skills are used, they are not allowed to be used in the next competition and cannot be repeated.
Just after taking a few sips of the chicken blood soup, another fried egg was placed in front of them, half of an fried egg. Gu Zheng was frying the egg with both hands, but frying the egg took time, and he couldn't handle it for the time being. There were more than thirty people each.
, you can only give half to one person first.
Omelette, Guzheng's omelette.
There are two types of omelette, one is ordinary omelette, and the other is Guzheng omelette. This is what a judge who participated in the Hangzhou Food Competition said last time. Many people who have eaten Guzheng omelette
, all agree very much.
Gu Zheng's omelette is completely different from other people's omelette.
Although the ingredients are similar and the process is similar, the results are completely different. Gu Zheng's omelette is a work of art, and it is also a great work of art. Other people's omelette can only be called food.
No matter how good the chef is, his omelette can't be compared to Gu Zheng's.
The two presidents have also heard about Gu Zheng's omelette. Gu Zheng relied on this omelette to win the preliminary rounds of the Hangzhou Food Competition one after another until the finals.
And during auditions, this simplest omelette always came first.
Neither of them spoke. They both picked up their chopsticks and picked up the omelette. The simplicity of the ancient dispute was indeed as rumored, like a work of art, which made people unable to bear to eat.
Being able to fry an omelette like this is a masterpiece in itself.
President Gou took a bite first. As soon as he took the bite, his expression was slightly different. A dull fragrance flew out from the yolk and filled his throat. This dullness collided with the previous fragrance.
After that, it immediately merged and slowly flowed from his esophagus into his whole body.
This is another very different experience.
Gu Zheng's omelette this time was different from the past. After thinking about it, Gu Zheng decided to upgrade the level of sesame oil. Sesame oil is widely used, second only to water and salt. It can also be used in his newly learned cooking skills.
Sesame oil, most of the ingredients in Guzheng nowadays are of ordinary grade, but the sesame oil is still second-rate, and it feels a little insufficient.
After the sesame oil is upgraded to normal, all the ingredients used in the omelette have become normal level, and the taste of the omelette has been improved again. The taste of all ordinary and inferior ingredients with oil is definitely different. The taste of Gu Zheng's omelette now
Better and more delicious.
It was the first time for the seniors who came to participate in the tasting to eat omelettes made with all ordinary ingredients.
President Gou finished his omelette quickly. After eating, he regretted that he ate too quickly, but luckily, he still had chicken blood soup to drink, which was also a kind of happiness.
The aroma of fried eggs is not as strong as that of chicken blood soup, but its aftertaste is more mellow than that of chicken blood soup. Both have their own characteristics and age.
President Huang ate slowly, but he finished the omelette in a while. He and President Gou had the same idea. This omelette is indeed not inferior to chicken blood soup. There were rumors that chicken blood soup is better than omelette.
Better, it seems the rumors are wrong.
Another top food, the two presidents thought silently in their hearts. Omelette and chicken blood soup together can basically make Gu Zheng enter the top ten.
The top ten players are already famous all over the country and even the world. How old is Gu Zhengcai? He is the youngest in this class and the youngest in the past ten. If he can enter the top ten, he must
It caused a big sensation.
However, Gu Zheng does have the capital to be in the top ten. The food he makes is really delicious. Both presidents think so. As long as he doesn't have any problems, he can get it if he is in the top ten.
After dividing the omelettes, Wang Dong placed a small plate in front of everyone.
Gu Zheng came out quickly. The stone beast he came out was still holding a pot in his hand. There was a shovel in the pot. Gu Zheng held the shovel and flicked it. A golden streak flew out into the air and fell on the small plate.
.
What fell on the small plate was egg fried rice, and the egg fried rice that fell was also in the shape of a dragon.
"Golden dragon flying into the sky!"
He Ying shouted first. The Golden Dragon Feitian is now Gu Zheng's signature. He is the first person in the country to make egg fried rice like him. There are still many restaurants in Hangzhou who name the egg fried rice the Golden Dragon Feitian.
The name Golden Dragon Feitian seems to be a substitute for egg fried rice.
But this is only true in Hangzhou. The Golden Dragon Flying Sky of Guzheng became famous in Hangzhou.
"The meaning and shape of this hand are unparalleled!"
President Huang sighed, Gu Zheng's skills were really good. Over the years, he had never seen anyone do it better than Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng was still a young man in his early twenties, so this was even more difficult.
"If it tasted better, he wouldn't be in the top ten!"
President Gou gave a wry smile and already picked up the spoon, ready to continue tasting Gu Zheng's egg fried rice.
Sesame oil is also used in egg fried rice. After the sesame oil was improved, Gu Zheng's egg fried rice also changed from having defective ingredients to an all-ordinary-level egg fried rice. It was even better and tasted better than the Golden Dragon Feitian made by Gu Zheng.
alcohol.
After only one bite, President Gou's face became even more bitter.
It's not that the food isn't delicious, it's that it's so delicious. With this bite, he can basically conclude that Gu Zheng's performance will continue to rise. Now Gu Zheng is fully qualified to compete for the top three.
The top three are on a different level from the top ten. Those who can get the top three every time are the top ones in the industry. They will get endless respect no matter where they go. The top three is not only an honor, but also
It is a symbol of status.
Those who can get into the top three, even the Food Association is very polite to them. The food industry also respects strength, and those who are truly capable will be respected wherever they go.
This food competition is about to have a big earthquake. A 23-year-old young man can actually enter the top three. I am afraid that the impact after the competition will last for a long time, and there will be many people who are unconvinced and even question it.
people.
He is not afraid of doubts. Gu Zheng relies on his true ability and does not need to care about any doubts. However, this influence will last for a long time, and the controversy about Gu Zheng will also last for a long time.
"The last dish is almost ready. This dish is suitable for eating in its entirety. Seniors can sit at the big table and taste it together!"
Gu Zheng took out two steamers, and Wang Dong took some waiters to ask the seniors to change places. It was difficult to divide the last dish, so he simply asked them to sit together. There was no big table in the store, but they could sort out the dishes.
The long table came, and soon it was set up, and all the seniors finished it in turn.
Gu Zheng opened the two steamers at the same time, revealing two red fish. This kind of fish looked like carp, but they had never seen it before.
"The last dish is steamed fish, seniors, please taste it!"
This time Gu Zheng personally served it. After putting down the dishes, he smiled and said, "Gu Zheng has recently learned how to steam fish, and he made it for the first time. Before, the fish was not mature and there was no way to cook it. Now a batch of fish has been cooked. The second time
The batch is half grown and is completely ready for cooking.
