Besides, Gu Zheng knew Song Bai’s identity. Song Bai was a cultivator and a strong cultivator. I’m afraid he wouldn’t do this.
The second challenger quickly came on stage. He was making a famous snack in Beijing, fried noodles with soybean paste.
He is also a contestant who participated in this competition, but fried noodles are not his best food. He is good at more than one. He hopes to get a good ranking in the competition, so he hid it this time.
He is not good at fried noodles, but it is a food he likes. He often makes it himself, and there are very few people who can make it better than him. Many famous fried noodles restaurants in Beijing are not as good as him. He has this confidence.
Having been making noodles for decades, he doesn’t believe that others can make noodles better than him with the same ingredients.
The ingredients were divided into two portions, and he made it first, kneading the dough and making the sauce at the same time. He did it quickly, and soon a bowl of hot fried noodles came out of the pot, and a pungent aroma spread out.
.
The aroma is indeed very strong, but it is greasy. He uses ordinary ingredients.
Even so, it is not easy to have such a fragrance, which proves that his cooking skills are indeed good and he is very good at making fried noodles.
After he finished, Song Bai also moved, and Gu Zheng kept staring at him very carefully.
What Song Bai did was a little different from him, but the whole process was the same, and what he did was more detailed and better than this person. Gu Zheng found that he had removed some unnecessary and cumbersome steps and was more efficient than the previous person.
Be high.
The steps are the same, which means that he followed the steps of the previous person. The method is different because he made improvements. It is even possible that he has never made fried noodles before, but just watched the previous person make it.
Followed through and did it.
If this is true as guessed, then this man is really terrifying, and his cooking skills have reached a certain level.
He can learn it by just watching it once, and he can cook it better than others. Such a person can definitely be called a genius. In terms of cooking skills, he is even better than Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's cooking skills are
Good, but many of them are inherited from Tie Xian. The only cooking technique he created is egg fried rice.
Song Bai's fried noodles are made faster and have a stronger aroma, which makes many people around them feel hungry.
The ten judges quickly finished the fried noodles they made, and finally decided that Song Bai was the winner.
The challenger was the same as before, unconvinced and refusing to admit it, but after eating Song Bai's noodles with soy sauce, his face became even more ugly, and he finally admitted that he had lost and left.
Two contestants, both lost.
Song Bai won two games in a row. The ones he won were not ordinary people, but people who were qualified to participate in this food competition. Such a victory was of extraordinary significance. At least it showed that his cooking skills were better than these two.
Much.
The third one came on stage. Instead of choosing what he originally wanted to make, he took a clever trick and made steamed buns instead.
Although making steamed buns may seem simple, it is actually quite extraordinary. To make steamed buns, you must first ferment the dough. There is a lot of knowledge involved in fermenting the dough. The level of fermentation that is best for the steamed buns requires a lot of experience.
Then comes the steaming. How long it takes to steam and the heat are all important. This time Song Bai didn't wait for him to finish. When he started, Song Bai also started.
Both of them fermented their flour for about half an hour, and both used methods to stimulate fermentation, and then the steamed buns were put into the pot.
Almost at the same time, their steamed buns came out of the pot. Both of them had a pot of steamed buns, six in each pot.
Without waiting for the judges to taste it, the man asked himself, picked up the steamed buns made by Song Bai and took a bite. With just one bite, bitterness appeared on his face. Although in the end he did not choose his specialty dish, he chose steamed buns.
Still lost.
His skill in making steamed buns was not bad, and what he was best at was pasta, which meant that he still lost to Song Bai in what he was good at.
The third person also loses, no one can win the 10 million.
The morning passed and the arena continued in the afternoon. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng couldn't come in the afternoon. His tasting party was still going on, and he had to go back to cook delicious food for the invited people to taste in the afternoon.
On the website, in the forum, and on the live broadcast platform, this meeting has become completely lively.
Song Bai originally had no supporters, but after he showed up, he gathered a large number of supporters almost instantly. Almost all of these supporters were women. It seems that appearance is very important no matter which industry he is in.
This made Wang Dong very jealous and unconvinced. When he came back at noon, he encouraged Gu Zheng to compete.
He believed that Gu Zheng would definitely win. Song Bai could win over others, but he would never win against Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head at his encouragement. It wasn't that he didn't want to go on stage, but that he had scruples. If this person wasn't a cultivator, he would
I will definitely sign up. Winning is a good opportunity to make a name for myself, but the other party is a practitioner. If he wants to go on stage, his identity may be exposed.
Anyway, he and Song Bai will have a match sooner or later, so there is no need to go now.
There were more than 50 people participating in the tasting in the afternoon, and the number of people increased a lot. The main reason is that there is comparison. Without comparison, there is no harm. Only after comparison can we know how good Guzheng's products are.
Especially those who participated in both tastings, after returning home, they told their friends that Guzheng did much better than here. If it was an invitation from Guzheng, they would still go if they could, but they would definitely not go.
regret.
As for the tasting session with participating chefs, it’s okay not to go.
Such a result allowed him to add some more people today, reaching more than fifty people. In the end, these more than fifty people came back satisfied.
In the afternoon, Song Bai's competition continued. In the afternoon, a total of five people took the stage to compete, and all of them failed.
Throughout the whole day, eight people went to compete, but no one succeeded. The 10 million reward was still there, but unfortunately no one could take it away. The five people in the afternoon were different from the morning. One of them was among the top 30 in the previous two sessions.
It was still his own specialty dish, but the result was the same loss.
This result is even more shocking.
That person's specialty dish is not something that can be seen casually on the street. It is a skill passed down from ancestors. He can lose such a unique skill, and he can lose to someone with the same ingredients and the same method. Where did this Song Bai come from?
After eight consecutive fights, some thoughtful people also saw the problem.
There are some things that Song Bai has obviously never done. He just watched what others did and then did it himself. What he did was actually better than what others had done for decades. Although this is hard to believe, you can read
After watching the video of today's game, I have to admit that this is the fact.
Moreover, no chef dares to say that he can cook everything, let alone do it with the same methods and steps. All this shows that this Song Bai is a genius, a genius in cooking.
When he got home, Wang Dong held his tablet and kept browsing forums and reading news.
He was reading all the news related to Song Bai. Today's results of Song Bai were posted on the forum. Many people were already calling for someone to challenge Song Bai and teach him a lesson.
The people who received the most calls were three people.
One is named Lu Yong, he is thirty-five years old. The Lu family used to be the royal chef of the Imperial Household, starting from the Ming Dynasty, and still in the Qing Dynasty, and until modern times. The Lu family has mastered secret recipes unknown to outsiders. It is a real family of famous chefs.
Lu Yong is thirty-five years old, but he is better than his old master. He is even better at cooking than his father. This is his first time to participate in the Chinese Food Competition. In fact, there were calls for him to participate in the previous two competitions. At that time, he
At the age of twenty-nine, I felt that my cooking skills were not good enough, so I waited for another six years before I finally came out.
Lu Yong once said that as long as he comes to compete, his goal is to be first.
Lu Yong has not participated in any competitions, but his cooking skills are indeed recognized as good, and he has entered Ouchi to cook many times. People who want to eat his own dishes can queue from Beijing to Shanghai, and he cooks
Dishes must be ordered a year in advance, and the prices are high.
Now that Song Bai is so rampant and arrogant, many people are calling Lu Yong to come out and teach Song Bai a lesson first.
Lu Yong has not been nominated many times in the forum. Not only ordinary people, but also previous failed challengers hope that he can come forward and save face.
Besides Lu Yong, the second person is also named Yong, named Yu Yong.
They have the same name but different surnames, but this Yu Yong is older than Lu Yong. Yu Yong is forty-five years old. This is not the first time he has participated in the Chinese Food Competition. This is his third time participating.
Although the food competition does not explicitly stipulate how many times you can participate in it, generally you will not continue to participate after three times, leaving the opportunity to more people.
Yu Yong previously participated in the last session and the last session, but he did not participate in the middle two sessions.
The first time he participated, Yu Yong ranked eighth. The second time he participated, he got second. This time he also held back his energy to get first. Getting first was considered a success for him. He was also the champion.
Strong contender.
He had taken second place before, and his cooking skills were evident, so everyone was looking for him to come forward.
The third one is named Haitao. Si Haitao is forty years old. He participated in the Chinese Food Competition for the second time. He was the third place in the upper world. He was also among the top three contestants. Si Haitao has a unique skill. This unique skill is in his kitchen.
In terms of cooking skills, others can never learn from them, so I thought about letting him come out. Couldn't Song Bai learn other people's cooking skills? Let's see if he can learn from Si Haitao's.
None of the three people responded, but there were a few players who had achieved good results who were willing to challenge.
On the fourth page of the forum, there was a post asking Gu Zheng to come forward. It was posted by Wang Dong. Unfortunately, it could not be maintained at all. It was quickly turned over. They were also not interested in Gu Zheng. It was better not to let Gu Zheng go.
.
In their eyes, Gu Zheng and Song Bai are probably the same type of people, and both need to be suppressed.
The next morning, Gu Zheng arrived at the Kunlun Hotel again. Song Bai's competition will continue today. There are several challengers today whose level is higher than yesterday. Gu Zheng also wants to see how Song Bai will respond.
The first challenger cooks a very popular dish, braised pork.
He is from Hunan Province, and the braised pork in Hunan Province is very famous, and he is the authentic successor. This is also his specialty. He does not believe that anyone can do it better than him.
He cooked it first, and then cooked it after Song Bai. Before the judges could eat it first, he tasted the braised pork made by Song Bai.
The same bite caused his face to change drastically and his body to tremble slightly.
He has been cooking for a lifetime, but with the same ingredients, he can't compare to a young man. At his age, he can be this young man's father. He has spent more time cooking this dish than this young man.
He really couldn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him. He didn't need the judges to evaluate them, he could taste them himself. Song Bai was indeed better than him.
The impossible thing just happened.
He didn't leave, but he looked very lonely. He sat there motionless. He didn't leave, and no one on Song Bai's side forced him to admit defeat. As long as he admitted it in the end, it would be fine. After the judges tasted it, they unanimously decided that the winner was
It's Song Bai.
In fact, just by looking at his appearance, you can tell the outcome of this comparison. It is obvious that this man has suffered a great blow.
The next three people went up, and without exception, they all failed. Gu Zheng kept observing Song Bai, and it was true that he did what others did, using the same raw materials. However, Gu Zheng discovered that every time Song Bai did it,
When eating, my hands will shake a bit, and with this shaking, some powder that is difficult to see with the naked eye will fall into the food.
If it hadn't been for the reminder from the weapon spirit, even he wouldn't have been able to discover it.
"Ordinary level flavor-enhancing flowers, no wonder he wins every time!"
After the Qi Ling investigation, Gu Zheng finally found out the name of the thing. It was an ordinary-level raw material called Flavor-enhancing Flower. As the name suggests, it was a raw material that could increase the taste of food.
This discovery made Gu Zheng feel a little relieved.
Song Bai didn't win by relying solely on his cooking skills. He took advantage of tricks, or even cheated. He added ingredients to the food that others didn't use, and they were ordinary-level ingredients that could enhance the flavor.
But even so, his cooking skills are not bad. He can cook what others have made by just watching it once. This is not easy, and he also won.
Flavor-enhancing flowers helped him, but flavor-enhancing flowers are not omnipotent. If the taste is not good, no matter how you add flavor, it will be useless. Flavor-enhancing flowers can play the role of icing on the cake, but they are not absolutely effective.
After understanding it, Gu Zheng left.
Song Bai's cooking skills were not as scary as he thought. If Song Bai really watched others cook it once, he could cook it himself and do it better than others. He would not have the confidence to win such a cooking competition.
If you can do it after just reading it once, you are already a genius. If you can do it better than someone with experience after just reading it once, this is not a genius, this is a monster. Guzheng couldn't do it anyway.
Gu Zheng also asked Qi Ling that the current Tiexian can do much better than others without using any tricks. But that is the current Tiexian, the Tiexian at the beginning, the Tiexian who does not have any power yet.
This can't be done either.
Talent is not everything, in many cases, proficiency is also important.
In the afternoon, more than 60 people came to Gu Zheng. Word of mouth spread about what he made, and many people were willing to come. Among the 60 people, more than 20 people had participated in the Chinese Food Competition.
They also told Gu Zheng about their experience in the competition.
These experiences are also very helpful for ancient disputes.
On the third day, the number of people competing against Song Bai increased to ten. In the past three days, a total of twenty-seven people came to challenge. No one defeated Song Bai. Song Bai's reputation became even more terrifying. Not only people in the food world
Everyone knows him, and now many people who are not in the food industry also know that there is such a powerful chef.
Song Bai is even more famous, not only for his cooking skills, but also for his good looks, which has won him many female fans.
On the fourth day, a heavyweight contestant finally came to challenge. This contestant was not a contestant of this year. He had participated in three Chinese Cuisine Competitions, and his best result was third place.
In any case, this is also an outstanding person who has won the top three. After he went, many people said that someone was finally going to take away Song Bai's 10 million, and Song Bai would definitely lose this time.
Wang Dong also shouted to Gu Zheng that Song Bai was going to lose. Only Gu Zheng understood that as long as he continued to use his flavor-enhancing flower, he would not necessarily be the loser.
The result was as predicted by Gu Zheng. Song Bai won again. No one could beat him that day. His record in the ring was a complete victory.
Even President Gou attended the game today. Song Bai's performance was indeed amazing. Even President Gou was shocked by him. With Song Bai here, the possibility of Gu competing for the championship is not that high, but still
Not small.
President Gou himself also lamented that the young people in this Chinese Cuisine Competition are better than the others. They are both in their early twenties, and they are both so good. They are those in their forties and fifties who have been immersed in cooking skills all their lives.
Even the experienced chefs can’t compare with them.
Normally speaking, cooking skills are at their peak between thirty and forty, and cooking skills are the best during this period. However, modern people's physical fitness is getting better and better. Even at the age of fifty, cooking skills will not fall behind. With experience,
With a lot of accumulation, you can develop very good cooking skills even at the age of fifty, so there are many people at the age of fifty participating in the food competition.
However, there are basically very few people over fifty, especially fifty-five. Their age and physical strength do not allow them to participate in such competitions. After fifty-five, many people become apprentices. By the time they are sixty-five, basically
No one continues to work, and even if someone is rehired, few will do it.
But no matter how young he is, he is still in his thirties like Lu Yong. It is really rare for two monsters in their early twenties to appear at one time.
On the fifth day, a heavyweight player appeared again. Si Haitao, who had never responded, suddenly appeared. He was also third, but he was the third in the upper world, the forty-year-old Si Haitao.
Si Haitao's appearance made many people cheer, but unfortunately the final result failed to satisfy their wishes, and Si Haitao also failed.
Gu Zheng has not been idle these days. His tasting meetings have been held. More and more people are attending his tasting meetings, and they are becoming more and more recognized for his cooking skills. Although Qi Ling has not announced his
Where does his fame rank now, but he has been told that his fame has been improving and the progress is obvious.
These days of tastings have changed many people’s influence on Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng is also a young man, but he has always been down-to-earth and conquered others with his delicious food. Many colleagues who participated in this food competition these days also came to taste his delicious food and praised him full of praise. Finally, he
I understand why President Gou would post like that.
Although the number of people is small, less than fifty, Gu Zheng's external influence has changed greatly. One is modest and only does his own thing, while the other is arrogant and sets the stage. Gradually, some people begin to compare Gu Zheng with Song Bai.
Let them compare, at least they will not be regarded as the same kind of people, which is also a good thing for Gu Zheng.
On the sixth day, Yu Yong finally participated in the challenge under the encouragement of everyone. He went to compete with Song Bai in the afternoon. After a dispute between ten temporary judges, he finally lost to Song Bai.
Although he lost, it was not as obvious as before. His cooking skills were indeed very unique, and the ingredients were also very good. Even Song Bai could not completely imitate him. If it were not for the flavor-enhancing flowers, Gu Zheng believed that
Song Bai lost this time.
Yu Yong also lost, which made many people feel sorry for him, and there were more voices calling on Lu Yong.
On the other side, Gu Zheng continues to expand his influence, and more and more people praise Gu Zheng. It is said that Song Bai is very famous, even bigger than Gu Zheng, but people in the food industry don't like it.
He, and more and more people are fond of Gu Zheng, and their reputations are growing. The difference is that one is good and the other is bad.
At the same time, the number of people calling for ancient disputes is also increasing, and they are all from the circle.
Even President Gou called and asked Gu Zheng if he had any idea to challenge Song Bai. He wanted to know which of the two young men was more powerful.
On the eighth day, Lu Yong finally showed up at the Kunlun Hotel. The food he cooked was very complicated. It was a palace delicacy. Together, he and Song Bai took four hours to cook this food, which took up half of the day.
.
The ten judges were not professional and ultimately failed to decide who was good and who was bad. We hired ten more professional judges and finally decided that Song Bai won.
Song Bai won again, but this time it was a narrow win. Lu Yong lost, but he was convinced.
This was a unique skill that he had done many times and was good at. He was sure that Song Bai couldn't do it, but Song Bai had seen it once and did it. For this alone, he admitted that he was not as good as Song Bai.
Song Bai's cooking was as delicious as his, but he was actually the loser.
He was willing to admit defeat and admitted that he was not as good as Song Bai. He also said that Song Bai had already been determined as the champion of this Chinese Food Competition, and he believed that Song Bai would definitely win in the end.
He also said that Song Bai was the most outstanding and outstanding culinary genius he had ever seen.
Song Bai also spoke this time. He said directly that he must be the number one this time and no one else could get it. Many people were disgusted by his words, but there was nothing they could do about it. Even Lu Yong lost to him.
Who can beat him?
His comments made Wang Dong very angry. Wang Dong encouraged Gu Zheng again, but unfortunately Gu Zheng ignored him at all. Now he already knew his fame ranking. Currently, Song Bai is the first and he is the second, but Song Bai is the second.
Bai has a bad reputation, and he has a good reputation. A good reputation has a much greater influence than bad reputation. If he continues, he will definitely surpass Song Bai and become the most famous player.
Fame is also divided into big and small, just like scoring, it is divided into one, two, three, four and five. Nowadays, many people give Song Bai a score, but most of them are one or two points. Fewer people give Gu Zheng a score, but basically
They are all four or five points, so Gu Zheng may eventually surpass Song Bai in fame.
The day of the Chinese Cuisine Competition is getting closer and closer, and the test time is getting shorter and shorter. Gu Zheng once again sent out more than a hundred invitations. He almost invited people from the capital. Now he invited famous chefs from other places.
Fortunately, there is a food competition in Beijing recently, and many people are willing to come.
"There's no way he can take first place. A cheating guy actually dares to claim to be first place. It's so shameless!"
As soon as Wang Dong finished telling Gu Zheng what happened today, what Song Bai said, and Lu Yong's evaluation of Song Bai, Qi Ling shouted in Gu Zheng's heart, looking very angry.
"The descendant of Tie Xian triggers a temporary test, and the test cannot be refused. Lord Tie Xian appreciates young people with high cooking skills and talents, but cooking must be done in the right way, and evil ways are not allowed. It is cheating in itself, and it is shameless, and it really discredits the chef.
!”
Qi Ling said quickly, while Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment. What is a temporary test? He still has a test that he has not completed yet. Why is there another test, and it is an irresistible test.
"Wait a minute, Artifact Spirit, didn't you say you can't conduct two tests at the same time?"
Gu Zheng asked urgently, and Qi Ling immediately said: "You cannot conduct two formal tests at the same time, and temporary tests do not count. Temporary tests generally will not affect the test at that time, and may even help the ongoing test.
So it’s allowed!”
After Qi Ling finished speaking, he continued: "The content of this test is to defeat Song Bai and expose Song Bai's tricks on the spot. If you win, you will be rewarded generously. If you fail, the ongoing test will be deemed to have failed!"
There is actually such a thing as a temporary test, and Gu Zheng is speechless.
Little did he know that Qi Ling now wanted to force him to increase his strength and enter the prehistoric era as soon as possible. He would not let go of any opportunity for a test. If Song Bai had just cheated secretly, it would not have triggered this test, but after he cheated, he still spoke nonsense.
, let the weapon spirit feel that it can trigger a test, and then told Gu Zheng.
For Gu Zheng, he didn't expect that after going around in a circle, he would go in the end.
In fact, Gu Zheng didn't want to go. He was a little uncomfortable with Song Bai's cheating behavior, but he didn't look down on it. He suddenly felt that he was cheating too, but in a different way.
By cheating, he can improve the ingredients, improve the quality of the ingredients, and make more delicious food. Others do not have this ability and cannot find good ingredients, so they are inferior to him in terms of ingredients.
Song Bai cheated by secretly using flavor-enhancing flower powder, which has different properties, but the result is the same.
"You idiot, fool, fool, why did I choose you in the first place!"
Gu Zheng told Qi Ling his doubts, but Qi Ling scolded him.
"You can improve the ingredients, that's your ability, what does it have to do with cheating? Just like your athletes here, some people are born with long legs and can run faster. Is it cheating for those who run slower? Some people are flexible.
, has strong explosive ability and is better than others on the court. Is it cheating because he is more flexible than others?"
Qi Ling scolded Gu Zheng fiercely, but Gu Zheng stood there blankly.
Qi Ling is right. His ability to improve ingredients is indeed his ability. In this world, there are many people who are born with stronger abilities than others. It cannot be said to be cheating.
If you want to say cheating, it’s God cheating.
"Look at that Song Bai again. What did he do? He added the same ingredients as promised, but secretly added other things. What is this? This is real cheating. It's like you athletes drink doping. This is
not allowed!"
Qi Ling continued to talk, it knew a lot about this world now, it even knew about stimulants.
"I understand, thank you, Qi Ling!"
Gu Zheng chuckled. In fact, he was also fooled. He got into trouble. After being scolded by the weapon spirit and woke up, he found that although the final results of himself and Song Bai were similar, the processes were indeed completely different.
He is upright, and it is his ability to improve the ingredients. He brought better ingredients to the competition, and there was no violation. Song Bai said that he used the same ingredients as others, but secretly added ingredients, which is shameful in itself.
Behavior, Gu Zheng thought that he was the same as him, which was an insult to himself.
"Wang Dong, please check how to sign up for Song Bai's arena and see if you can sign up tomorrow morning!"
Gu Zheng suddenly gave Wang Dong instructions. Wang Dong was slightly stunned, and then jumped up happily. Gu Zheng finally agreed to participate in the ring. He believed that as long as Gu Zheng went, Song Bai would definitely lose.
The reason why he went in the morning was because Gu Zheng had a tasting in the afternoon and he couldn't delay the afternoon tasting.
There are not many people signing up for Song Bai's ring. The main reason is that Song Bai's performance in the past few days has been too eye-catching. Even Lu Yong and Yu Yong lost. Others are looking for humiliation. Those who have self-awareness are not here.
went.
In addition, Song Bai also restricted the qualifications for registration. Only contestants who have participated in the Chinese Food Competition or this year's contestants are qualified to challenge him, and no one else can.
There are not many such people, which means they have suddenly rejected the challenge of many ordinary chefs.
Wang Dong quickly contacted the Kunlun Hotel. They were the ones accepting registration now. When they learned that it was Gu Zheng's challenge, they quickly responded and allowed the challenge. Gu Zheng said it was in the morning, so it was in the morning, and he was the first.
field.
Early the next morning, the driver took Gu Zheng to the Kunlun Hotel.
After Wang Dong registered his name yesterday, he posted on the forum that Gu Zheng was going to compete in the ring this morning and Gu Zheng would definitely win.
After Lu Yong and Yu Yong had lost, there was only one Gu Zheng left who had hope of beating Song Bai. Chairman Gou had a very high evaluation of Gu Zheng, saying that if others didn't work hard, the champion would be
fell into the hands of Gu Zheng.
Song Bai, on the other hand, suddenly emerged from nowhere. He immediately stepped onto the stage and challenged all the heroes. After so many days, no one could defeat him. This shows how powerful he is.
There are more people in the Kunlun Hotel today. This time, more than 200 contestants came from the 300 contestants. There were also more than 200 people from previous years. Many people from the Food Association were also present. Even President Gou came again.
He was also very curious as to who of these two young men was more powerful. He had eaten both of their food. In terms of taste, Gu Zheng seemed to be stronger, but Song Bai couldn't judge it from ordinary people.
They are all other people's specialty dishes, but they can still be cooked well. No one knows how his own specialty dishes will taste.
In the entire restaurant, as many as six to seven hundred people from the food industry alone came, forcing the Kunlun Hotel to close the restaurant and not open it to the public except for some media.
This time, it becomes an internal competition.
Gu Zheng is the first one and the only one this morning. Originally, there were few people who signed up today. After Gu Zheng appeared, all other challengers were queued up in the afternoon.
"It's a fight between the dragon and the tiger. I don't know whether the dragon will win or the tiger will be better!"
An old man sighed with emotion, and his companions jokingly asked: "Tell me first, who is the dragon and who is the tiger?"
"Of course Song and Bai are dragons, and ancient war is tiger!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Song Bai is a dragon crossing the river, and Gu Zheng is a local tiger. Although neither of them is from the capital, Gu Zheng is still a member of the Food Association. He has participated in the Hangzhou Food Competition, and his father is Gu Ming. He is one of our internal children.
, who is this Song Bai? He is neither from the Food Association nor has he participated in any competitions. He doesn’t know who jumped out of the gala. Can a strong dragon not overwhelm a local tiger?"
The old man spoke slowly there. In fact, he was not the only one who had this thought, but most of the people present did.
Gu Zheng is not a local, but he is indeed a member of the Food Association. He also owns a restaurant and has a pot of century-old soup. In addition, he belongs to a family of chefs and has won good results in the Hangzhou Food Competition. Everyone has a good impression of him.
Certain recognition.
However, this recognition is also relative. Song Bai has no reputation and is still so arrogant. When people are not satisfied with Song Bai, everyone naturally has a great change in the challenger Gu Zheng.
Song Bai came out, and Gu Zheng also walked forward. He had seen many people competing here before, but at that time he never thought that he would come too.
The things he brought were very simple, eggs, sesame oil, salt and water. He did not compare with Song Bai, only fried eggs. Although fried eggs are simple, they are the cooking skills of Tie Xian. Tie Xian's cooking skills are absolutely impossible.
People can learn it by watching it once.
Gu Zheng walked to the front and divided the ingredients into two.
Eggs, sesame oil, water and salt are all very simple. Gu Zheng's omelette has long been famous. Many people are not surprised when they see Gu Zheng come up with these ingredients. Some people who have eaten Gu Zheng's omelette can't bear it.
He nodded.
Gu Zheng's omelette is very unique. The omelette that looks like a work of art cannot be imitated by others. Many people are speculating whether this evil Song Bai can make omelette like Gu Zheng.
.
Not to mention the taste is the same, it just looks the same, which is very scary.
"Gu Zheng, I know you!"
Song Bai looked at Gu Zheng and said softly that he was supposed to be the youngest contestant, but he didn't expect that he pretended to be Gu Zheng, who was younger than him.
The title of the youngest person was taken away just like that.
"can we start?"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and didn't talk nonsense to him. He came with a test. This time he not only had to defeat him, but also exposed him on the spot.
It is not easy to expose Song Bai. He is a cultivator himself, but fortunately he is only at the middle level of the third level, which is a little lower than Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng does not have to worry about him getting angry and taking action after exposing him.
If he really takes action, he is still not Gu Zheng's opponent.
"please!"
Song Bai stretched out his hand to Gu Zheng, who picked up his own frying pan and started to make omelette. He did it in front of many people. Many people saw his omelette action, including Song Bai.
Pour oil, beat eggs, it makes no difference.
Gu Zheng's hand began to move with the frying pan, but Song Bai's brows furrowed. Song Bai's observation skills were very strong, and he was very careful. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to watch someone else do it once. Gu Zheng
His hands were shaking like fried eggs, but the frequency was very fast, which was simply not something ordinary people could do.
Not only that, Gu Zheng's strength is also very strong, and ordinary people will not have such strength.
Song Bai's eyes narrowed. Although they were just small details, these few details had already allowed him to see that Gu Zheng was different from others, and Gu Zheng was probably a cultivator like him.
Only cultivators can have such frequency and intensity.
Gu Zheng's omelette was made very quickly. In one minute, the whole omelette was ready. It was as white as jade and as yellow as marrow. The omelette, which was like a work of art, was once again displayed in front of everyone.
Gu Zheng stood nearby and made a gesture of invitation to Song Bai.
He's done it, now it's time for Song Bai.
Song Bai stood over and used the same pot from before the ancient war, the same oil, the same eggs, and the same water to wash the pot.
His brows suddenly jumped. He was recalling the process of Gu Zheng making omelettes, but when he recalled the process, he found that there was some incoherence. This was something he had never encountered before.
No matter who it is, no matter what kind of cooking skills, he can completely remember it after seeing it. This has never happened before.
"What kind of cooking skills are you doing?"
Song Bai couldn't help but ask. If he couldn't write it down coherently, he couldn't copy other people's cooking skills. He had to cook the next food himself, exactly according to his own method.
This is different from his previous changes. He improved because he had a better way. He didn't learn Gu Zheng's cooking skills at all, so he could only make his own omelettes according to his own understanding.
“Omelette cooking skills!”
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He understood very well that Tie Xian's cooking skills could not be learned by others just by watching them. He had made omelettes so many times and he knew very well how extraordinary they were.
Even if he has learned it, he can't teach it to others now. Many things cannot be described or expressed in words. If you can't say them in words, but you can learn them by just reading them, then he is really not a person.
He is not a cultivator, but a being as powerful as Tiexian.
Gu Zheng believed that Song Bai would never be able to learn how to make omelettes by himself.
Gu Zheng's answer made Song Bai choke. He snorted coldly, poured oil, heated the pan, and prepared to beat the eggs.
The previous steps are almost exactly the same as Gu Zheng, but after the eggs are beaten in, the eggs are not motionless in the pot like Gu Zheng, only the pot is moving.
When Song Bai turned the eggs, he didn't have the same sense of beauty as Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's eggs were like elves dancing, while Song Bai's eggs were just eggs, and they didn't give people any strange feeling.
Soon, Song Bai's omelette was also ready. His hand shook slightly, and a faint powder fell on the omelette.
The corners of Gu Zheng's mouth slightly raised, but he didn't say anything or stop him.
"It's different!"
"It's just that it's not as good-looking as Gu Zheng's!"
"This is too bad!"
Many people looked at the omelette made by Song Bai and couldn't help but say, Gu Zheng's omelette is as white as jade, white is white, yellow is yellow, there are no pits, just like a perfect work of art.
, people who don’t know will really treat this as jade.
Although Song Bai's omelette also achieved the separation of white and yellow, it was not as artistic as Gu Zheng's omelette. His omelette was also very flat, but underneath the calm surface was blurry. Unlike Gu Zheng, the whole omelette was
The fried eggs are all translucent, otherwise they would not be mistaken for jade.
In terms of appearance alone, Song Bai's omelette has already lost, losing a lot to Gu Zheng.
"I knew it!"
Wang Dong clenched his fist fiercely. He believed that Gu Zheng would definitely win. He had always believed it. Now that he saw Song Bai making fried eggs, he believed that Gu Zheng would win even more.
This kind of omelette is definitely not as good as the one made by Gu Zheng.
“The most important thing about food is taste, only if it tastes good!”
Song Bai snorted coldly. After competing so many times, this was the first time he took the initiative to speak after the competition. The judges had all eaten Gu Zheng's omelette just now. Although they ate less, they at least tasted a little bit of it.
Song Bai's fried eggs were also sent over. Before sending them, Gu Zheng suddenly stopped them: "Can you leave some for me? Just a little will be fine!"
The staff all looked at Song Bai, who nodded slightly. In the past few days, challengers wanted to taste a lot of the things he made. Most of them did not trust the judges. After eating them themselves, they found that his taste was really good, so they gave up.
.
He regarded ancient disputes as such.
The ten judges each took a small bite. Although it was small, at least they could taste it.
After eating, the ten people were stunned and looked at each other, while Song Bai stood there quietly, looking very confident.
He knew very well that even if his cooking skills were not better than the other's, as long as his cooking was good, he would definitely win with the flavor-enhancing flowers. The flavor-enhancing flowers could greatly enhance the taste of the food.
The simpler the food, the stronger the improvement. This is an omelette, which is definitely not complicated. Even if the same ingredients are not used, his flavor-enhancing flowers can improve the taste and surpass the past.
It's a pity that he didn't know that his flavor-enhancing flowers are good, but there is a disadvantage in the flavor-enhancing flowers, that is, the lower the grade of the ingredients, the higher the taste. On the contrary, the higher the grade of the ingredients, the higher the flavor.
The improvement of flowers is more limited. The eggs, sesame oil, salt, and even water in Guzheng are all ordinary levels, the same level as the flavor-enhancing flowers. The flavor-enhancing flowers can improve the taste, but the taste is not improved much.
The added flavors did not make up for the lack of cooking skills.
All ten judges ate it. Song Bai’s omelette tasted not as good as Gu Zheng’s.
They have been here for so many days, and the food made by Song Bai always tastes better. Even if there is a dispute, it is so different that it is difficult to judge. As the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences for yellow radish, and they have different tastes.
, the tendencies are also different.
But this time it was different. This time they all really felt that the taste of Song Bai's food was not as good as that of Gu Zheng.
"On behalf of everyone, I announce that Gu Zheng will win with eight votes, Song and Bai will get two votes, and Gu Zhan will win!"
One of the judges stood up and read the results loudly. After he finished speaking, many people were stunned.
"Oh yeah!"
Wang Dong was the only one who excitedly held his hand. He knew that Gu Zheng would win, that Gu Zheng could not lose, and that the winner this time was really Gu Zheng.
There were so many people in the audience, most of whom were in the food industry. They were really looking forward to Gu Zheng defeating Song Bai at first, but when the result was announced, they couldn't accept it. If they won, just win like this?
"impossible!"
Song Bai suddenly shouted. He didn't believe that he would lose. Even if he only made omelettes, his cooking would not be bad, let alone the flavor-enhancing flowers. With the flavor-enhancing flowers, there was no way he would lose.
"What's impossible?"
Gu Zheng suddenly asked, Song Bai turned around sharply and stared at Gu Zheng.
"You can win, why can others win?" Gu Zheng asked again, very quickly and with sharp words.
"Of course I can win for my own reasons, but there is no way I can lose!"
Song Bai said quickly, he didn't believe he would lose. It didn't matter if he couldn't learn the other party's cooking skills. He couldn't learn everything from everyone. It would be good if he could learn something similar.
But with the flavor-enhancing flowers, he definitely didn't believe that he would lose.
"You have a reason, what reason?" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng asked again, very quickly.
"My reasons are my own secret, you don't need to know!"
"Secret, the secret of the flavor-enhancing flower?"
Gu Zheng suddenly smiled faintly. Song Bai's body shook violently and he looked at Gu Zheng in shock.
Gu Zheng suddenly stepped forward. He was already stronger than Song Bai, and he also had the ethereal body illusion technique. Song Bai was in shock again. The two of them were not so close, and Gu Zheng suddenly grabbed his arm.
Gu Zheng shook his hand, and a delicate little kit came out from Song Bai's arm.
"Song Bai, I admire you if you really rely on your ability to win over others, but since you said you use the same ingredients, why did you add this flavor-enhancing flower to the ingredients? Do you really think that no one knows about you?
Trick, everyone is helpless against you?"
The temporary test task was not only to defeat Song Bai, but also to expose him on the spot. Gu Zheng did not do such an offending thing, but he had no choice but to do this for his own test.
"You, how do you know about flavor-enhancing flowers?"
Song Bai was extremely shocked. His secret was the flavor-enhancing flower. He didn't expect Gu Zheng to know about it. Moreover, Gu Zheng had allowed him to add the flavor-enhancing flower to the omelette before, but he didn't care at all. This Gu Zheng was not a simple person.
The cook, he is definitely a terrible person.
“If you don’t want others to know you, don’t do anything except yourself!”
Gu Zheng said calmly, and then continued: "I know that you have good talents, and I also know that you have the ability to remember other people's cooking skills. If you really win others with your skills, we will all respect you, and we will all respect you."
I praise you, but you are not. You secretly added something that others don’t know, and added flavor-enhancing flowers that greatly help the taste. This is the key to your victory. You are cheating!"
Cheating?
Hundreds of people at the scene were in an uproar, especially those who had tried to challenge before and failed.
No one thought that Song Bai was cheating. In this way, they lost so unfairly. They said they would use the same raw materials, but he secretly added something to make him lose. Many people felt that
There is a feeling of grievance.
"You are a cultivator!"
Song Bai looked at Gu Zheng, gritted his teeth, and spoke word by word. His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
"Isn't it the same for you?"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly. He did not deny it. He had already grabbed someone's arm. If he was not a cultivator, how could he have caught him? His identity had been revealed long ago. However, he was not worried. The other person was just like him. They were originally
Same kind of people.
"This is just a tip, not a flavor-enhancing flower. I've never heard of a flavor-enhancing flower either!"
Song Bai suddenly broke away from Gu Zheng's hand, picked up the kit, and said softly, after this guy was caught, he started to deny it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I have the omelette you just made here, and I also took out some of the powder in your bag. President Gou is here. I can give these things to him. Technology is very advanced now."
, you can completely identify whether there are the same ingredients in it!"
Gu Zheng stepped forward, gently collected some powder from the table, which was just spilled from the kit, and took out what was wrapped in a small plastic bag.
After hearing Gu Zheng mentioning himself, President Gou came out, followed by the staff, and quickly went to take back the fried eggs and powder in Gu Zheng's hands.
"We will conduct an appraisal. If it is true as Gu Zheng said, we will consider your character and your qualifications to participate in the Chinese Food Competition!"
President Gou said slowly. He did not expect that Song Bai was actually cheating. If this was the case, then this Song Bai would be too shameless. It would be a pity that he has such a good talent.
President Gou is a sensible person. He knows very well that even if Song Bai really cheats, he still has the talent to learn it after seeing others cook it once. This man is indeed a cooking genius.
If you still cheat when you have such a talent, it is a matter of character.
