Song Bai suddenly flicked his sleeves and left, leaving everyone in the audience looking at each other.
In the past, there were many people who left after losing, but they were all stopped by their people and had to admit defeat or that they were not as good as Song Bai. Now that Song Bai lost, he didn't say anything and just left like this.
"You guys are cheating, I'll pay you 10 million!"
Wang Dong shouted hurriedly, and then many people remembered that winning against Song Bai would result in a bonus of 10 million, which was guaranteed by the Kunlun Hotel. Without this gimmick, it would not have attracted so many people to compete in the beginning.
Not every chef participating in the competition has his own business. Even if there are restaurants, not every chef has a lot of assets. Ten million is definitely a lot of wealth for many people, so it attracts them.
.
Of course, there are some people who believe that it is very easy to defeat Song Bai and that the ten million is very easy to make, so they came to compete, but the result did not surprise them.
Now that they know that Song Bai cheated, many people don't think they have lost. They demand a rematch or announce that they have won, and they also want to give themselves 10 million.
People from the Kunlun Hotel rushed out to maintain order, and the scene was in chaos.
Some people also posted the photos and conditions of the scene to the forum and Weibo. Many people exploded after seeing it. Song Bai had won for so many days. Although people in the food industry were very unconvinced by him, many people
Passers-by kept cheering.
The passerby's idea is very simple. If you do well, I will believe you.
But no one expected that Song Bai would win so many people by cheating. Now even they couldn't accept it. Cheating was originally a behavior that many people despised. Song Bai's cheating was caught on the spot again.
come out.
The Internet is also in full swing now. People from the Kunlun Hotel and President Gou of the Food Association have joined forces to finally stabilize the order in the arena.
As for those people who cheated and lost before, Kunlun Hotel will definitely give an explanation, but after all, they did not win at that time, and it is impossible to win 10 million now. As for the ancient fight, it is real, and they won the Song Dynasty on the spot.
White people.
No one can say anything about the victory of the ancient struggle.
They gave Gu Zheng 10 million, and they gave it to him on the spot, but they gave him the tax-deducted amount, 8 million, as a cash check, and Gu Zheng could collect it at any time.
After getting the money and completing the test, Gu Zheng left directly.
Soon everyone else dispersed. This game can also be regarded as a collision between the two most powerful dark horses in this year. The result was that Gu Zheng, the youngest dark horse, won, and he won by a big margin. He was originally very powerful.
Song Bai was completely defeated by Gu Zheng.
Not only did he not learn how to cook, but Gu Zheng exposed his cheating behavior, and his reputation and status plummeted.
Regarding his cheating, the Food Association and the competition organizing committee will hold a meeting to discuss whether to impose the harshest punishment. After all, the impact of this incident is not small, and it is very bad.
Gu Zheng's tasting party is still going on, and only eighty people have been invited today. First, many people have been invited, and second, Gu Zheng is going to Song Baina this morning, so the number of people invited is smaller.
Only eighty people were invited, but there were actually one hundred and twenty, and Gu Zheng was very busy.
Most of these one hundred and twenty people were not the people invited by Gu Zheng yesterday. They were all people who had been invited before but did not come. They all came shamelessly in the afternoon. Gu Zheng's influence in defeating Song Bai in this arena has already been revealed.
come out.
After all, this was an arena where Yu Yong and the others lost. Even if Song Bai cheated, it would not be easy to win by cheating.
Many people were curious about the delicacies made by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's tasting party was still going on. They had been invited before, so they just came. That's why so many people came.
Although there are many people, one person still has to cook all the food, and each person gets a smaller portion.
Tasting does not guarantee a full meal. Most people were not full this time, but they did eat well, and they were full of praise for the delicious food made by Gu Zheng.
On that day, many seniors and famous chefs praised Gu Zheng's cooking skills. Now Gu Zheng's reputation has surpassed Song Bai and became the first among the 300 contestants. Not only the first among the 300 contestants, but also the first among all contestants.
Among the contestants in the Chinese Food Competition, not many are more famous than Gu Zheng.
Who allowed them to be so tossing around in the past few days, and even came out to fight, it's hard to remember this reputation.
"Successor of Tie Xian, congratulations on completing the temporary test!"
After returning home, Qi Ling's voice immediately rang. The temporary test was completed. He didn't need Qi Ling to announce Gu Zheng to know that he had fulfilled both requirements, so it was definitely completed.
However, he also completely offended Song Bai. He didn't know what Song Bai's background was. He sent a message to Emei at noon and asked them to check the news about Song Bai and see where Song Bai's disciple was.
At such a young age and with such a level of cultivation, I believe it will be possible to find out.
"The temporary test rewards will be distributed together with the normal test. Please wait for the completion of the fame test!"
Qi Ling said again that the rewards will not be distributed for the time being, but will be combined with the fame test. In fact, the fame test has been completed, but it will not be considered a victory until the last day, that is, before the competition, if Gu Zheng can maintain this reputation.
There are still four days left before the competition. After four days, if Gu Zheng can continue to maintain his current reputation, he will win.
Now that Gu Zheng is so famous, as long as he doesn't get dizzy in the past four days, doing something similar to Song Bai and being defeated by others, it will basically not affect his reputation ranking. Winning has a big impact.
grasp.
Thanks to Song Bai, after Gu Zheng defeated him, his reputation rose a lot, and all the gains were good ones. This kind of reputation is more stable, unlike Song Bai, who was famous before, but all had a bad reputation.
, being defeated by Gu Zheng, he immediately returned to his original form.
It's even worse than before. Many people despise him when they mention him.
The next afternoon, the Gourmet Association and the competition organizing committee announced the treatment of Song Bai. Yesterday, President Gou took the things for identification when he went back. The results came out this morning. The omelette did indeed contain the tip.
ingredients.
This is a rare thing that can greatly enhance the taste and has no impact on food safety. This also surprised President Gou and the others.
For this reason, President Gou specifically contacted Song Bai and asked him what this was and whether it could be made public and provided to other food practitioners.
Anyone with such a thing can enhance the taste of food without any side effects and is even beneficial to the human body. Such good things should be promoted and benefit all people.
President Gou's wishes were good, but the result was destined to disappoint him.
This is an ordinary-level flavor-enhancing flower. Not to mention the extremely small quantity. Even if it exists, ordinary people cannot find it at all. It is impossible to mass-produce such a thing.
It's a pity that President Gou didn't know this and still had hope. In the end, Baili Song ignored him, making him disappointed and extremely angry.
Then they held a meeting and made a decision to expel Song Bai from the competition. The missing person was filled in from among the candidates, making up 300 people to participate.
Song Bai was expelled, and the punishment was both expected and unexpected.
Song Bai would definitely be punished if he cheated, but the punishment of expulsion was indeed a bit serious. After all, his arena did not have much to do with the food competition. If there was, he restricted those who had participated in the food competition to those who had participated in the food competition.
Only contestants can compete.
If you don't punish, you won't be able to convince the public. If you punish, it's a bit harsh. This is the contradictory psychology of many people.
Although Song Bai's reputation is not small, many people still want to see him participate in the competition and see him and Gu Zheng compete again. After all, Song Bai has always done other people's things in the arena competition, and has never done anything that belongs to others.
His own cuisine.
In any case, many people admit that Song Bai's cooking skills, some things cannot be won by cheating and adding one thing.
If that were the case, there would be no need for celebrity chefs. As long as there is such a thing, anyone can make the best food. Everyone can become a master chef without becoming a celebrity chef.
"Kunlun disciple?"
Gu Zheng also received a summons from Emei and found out the details of Song Bai.
This Song Bai is actually a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, the largest sect of righteousness at present. No wonder the Kunlun Hotel has been supporting him from behind. This Kunlun Hotel must also be the property of the Kunlun Sect.
Song Bai is not only a disciple of Kunlun, but also an outstanding disciple of Kunlun. He has always been well protected before, and very little is known to the outside world. Emei inquired about Song Bai this time, but found nothing at first, so he started with the Kunlun Hotel.
Following the clues, I found out about the Kunlun sect, and found out that Song Bai was a disciple of Kunlun.
The largest sect, a sect bigger than Shushan, Gu Zheng frowned again.
"Master, why don't you let the Supreme Elder come to you so that you can take care of you!"
Wuyou said softly, with Ouyang Hai following him, as long as the Supreme Elder of the Kunlun Sect was not sent out together, there would be absolutely no problem in protecting Gu Zheng. They were also worried about Gu Zheng, after all, Gu Zheng had completely offended Song Bai before.
Who knows if the Kunlun sect will defend itself and bring trouble to Guzheng because of this matter.
When facing the Kunlun Sect, not to mention Emei, even Shushan, their main line, will be extremely cautious.
"No, it's better for Taishang Elder to stay in Emei. I'm afraid of this and afraid of that. I don't have to go out, and it won't be of any help to my future cultivation of xinxing!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. He just offended Song Bai and called Ouyang Hai to make a fuss. However, he must be on guard against others. Gu Zheng still asked Emei to pay more attention to Kunlun's movements.
On the Emei side, Elder Wuyou still felt uneasy after hanging up the phone. However, what Gu Zheng said made sense. Being afraid of something like this was really not good for his cultivation mentality. In the end, he simply let Elder Wuyou go over and did not meet Gu directly.
Fight, observe in secret, and if you find anything wrong with Kunlun, immediately notify the door.
There is no worry, as long as the opponent does not send out immortal cultivators, he and Gu Zheng will definitely be able to support Ouyang Hai.
As for the cultivators, they are not so easy to dispatch. The Kunlun sect has great achievements and a good reputation. It is impossible to directly dispatch cultivators for the sake of a cultivator with the third level of inner strength.
Gu Zheng didn't know Wuyou's plan, so he hung up the phone and continued to do what he should do.
There are still three days left before the competition, and his tasting meeting has been stopped. There are still many people who have not been here, but this is no longer important. He is now the number one famous, and if nothing happens, he can definitely maintain it.
If something unexpected happened, the fame brought by the tasting could not be compensated.
Without Song Bai, the voice for Gu Zheng to compete for the championship became the highest again. President Gou himself had posted a post and praised Gu Zheng in a high-profile manner. At that time, everyone was unconvinced and thought that President Gou was exaggerating.
But now, after Yu Yong and Lu Yong lost to Song Bai, Gu Zheng has won. This alone can show that Gu Zheng is really stronger than them.
Song Bai cheated, but when he competed with Gu Zheng, he also cheated. Even though he cheated, he didn't win against Gu Zheng, which further showed Gu Zheng's strength.
Now many people in the forum are cheering for their supporters, especially Lu Yong and his supporters, persuading Lu Yong and the others that they must pay attention to this game and show ten points of spirit, otherwise this game will really fail.
It will allow people to create a history.
The history of the youngest player to win the championship.
For some peripheral handicaps, bets were also opened for this purpose. Gu Zheng has the lowest odds of winning. It can be seen that they are very optimistic about Gu Zheng and believe that Gu Zheng has the greatest possibility of winning the championship.
"Gu Zheng, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you this time!"
In the villa, Chang Feng came back and apologized when he saw Gu Zheng, looking frustrated.
"What's going on?" Gu Zheng was very puzzled.
"I didn't expect that Kunlun Hotel's background was so tough. I wanted to punish him this time, but I couldn't punish them!"
Chang Feng lowered his head and said in frustration. He had also heard about Gu Zheng's victory over Song Bai. He was not from the food industry. His only connection with the food industry was that he was also the owner of Guji Chicken Blood Soup.
.
He paid attention to these things because he paid attention to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng won. The attitude of Kunlun Hotel and Song Bai made him very cold. He did not tell Gu Zheng, so he used his own energy to prepare to cause some trouble for Kunlun Hotel.
.
It would be best if Song Bai comes to apologize and openly admits that he is not as good as Gu Zheng.
It's just that he didn't expect that the relationship he was looking for could not be achieved. The relationship in Kunlun Hotel was stronger than him in many aspects, and there was no way to harm him.
He just came to Gu Zheng and said this.
"You, you don't have to do this at all. Okay, don't do it again in the future!"
After hearing this, Gu Zheng shook his head helplessly. This guy actually went to find trouble at the Kunlun Hotel. His backstage was the largest sect in the cultivation world. It would be strange to be brought down by him.
Fortunately, Chang Feng didn't force himself to do anything, otherwise it might bring him trouble.
As for Song Bai, he was a cultivator. It was absolutely impossible for Chang Feng to force him to apologize to him. However, his intention moved Gu Zheng very much. As a result, Gu Zheng made delicious food again at night.
The next morning, the penultimate day before the start of the competition, the Food Association announced the names of the replacement contestants.
Song Xiu, thirty years old, unknown place of origin, unknown origin, unknown achievements, another player who has nothing like Song Bai, and has the same surname as Song Bai, Song.
According to rumors, it was not the intention of the Gourmet Association to bring Song back in, but the result of forced suppression by their superior department. President Gou could not stop him at all, and he was so angry that he even threw a glass.
"Song Xiu?"
Gu Zheng was wandering outside in a large shopping mall at the moment. It was Wang Dong who told him the news with a tablet. Instinct told Gu Zheng that this Song Xiu was definitely related to Song Bai, and had a deep relationship.
If Song Xiu is from Kunlun like Song Bai, and they have the strength to suppress the Food Association and force them to make concessions, it is definitely possible.
The Kunlun Sect is the largest sect. It not only has great influence in the world of cultivation, but also in the secular world. Although they do not pay attention to everything in the secular world, they always have disciples to enter the world and experience it, and the secular world will inevitably remain.
some forces.
What Chang Feng did to the Kunlun Hotel before also proves this point.
However, these have nothing to do with Gu Zheng. He just needs to participate in this food competition with peace of mind. He has not thought that he will definitely win the food competition. He will do his best and compete seriously.
This food competition is not a competition for him alone. His father, Uncle Hu, and even Wang Dong are all looking forward to it. In addition, the Chinese food competition is also a dream of his. Although he did not choose to be a chef before, but in this world
There were all prestigious competitions, but Gu Zheng still dreamed of participating in them.
This is also the fulfillment of his own dream.
"Stop, stop, you haven't paid yet!"
Gu Zheng was shopping in a supermarket, buying ordinary daily necessities.
They were near the cashier. When they heard the shouting, he and Wang Dong raised their heads and were stunned for a moment.
In front of the checkout counter, a pretty girl was being stopped. She was standing there blankly with a bunch of things in her hands.
"Pay for what?"
The girl looked very innocent, and she didn't seem to be pretending. Even the security guard who stopped him was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and it took a while before he came back to his senses.
"You haven't paid for the ones you chose, so you can't take them out!"
The security guard's voice became much softer. The pretty girl is indeed quite lethal. If it had been anyone else, the security guard would have scolded her harshly and even suspected her of theft.
"Why?"
The girl looked even more confused. Gu Zheng took a few steps forward and suddenly frowned.
The weapon spirit told him just now that this girl is also a cultivator, and her strength is higher than him. She has reached the early stage of the fourth level and is a master of cultivation who can release her inner strength outwards.
This girl, who looks to be in her early twenties, is actually stronger than him.
However, since the other party was a cultivator, Gu Zheng had no doubts in his mind. He didn't know which sect she was a disciple of. She only knew that she was a cultivator and had never been to the secular world. She must have just come out, so this happened.
There is no word of payment in their consciousness.
"I'll pay for him!"
Gu Zheng walked over and said, we are all in the same camp, and paying the bill is just a matter of effort.
"Sorry, sorry!"
There were already many people watching. Two girls suddenly squeezed in from the crowd. They were still sweating profusely. They breathed out heavily when they saw that the girl was okay. These two people were ordinary people, but they faced the girl.
At that time, he was very fearful and respectful, and Gu Zheng understood that these two should be the people who accompanied the girl in the secular world.
It's just that the two of them didn't stay with me just now, so the cultivator girl ran out on her own.
"It's you, Gu Zheng!"
After learning what happened just now, the two girls came to thank Gu Zheng, but when they saw Gu Zheng, they both looked wary and even called Gu Zheng by his name.
"You know me?"
Gu Zheng was baffled. He was sure that he had never seen these two girls and the cultivator girl.
"Are you Gu Zheng?"
The cultivator girl blurted out and walked up to Gu Zheng, looking him up and down, but she walked too close and almost pressed against Gu Zheng's body when she looked at him, which made Gu Zheng very embarrassed.
"Miss, let's go first, otherwise the husband will be angry!"
The two girls hurriedly grabbed the cultivator girl and took her away regardless of whether the cultivator girl wanted to or not. When the cultivator girl left, she kept looking back at Gu Zheng.
"Brother Gu, do you know them? Is that girl a star? She's so beautiful!"
Wang Dong came over and whispered something while still staring in the direction where the cultivator girl disappeared.
"I do not recognize!"
Gu Zheng smiled helplessly. He really didn't know them. He had no idea who these three people were or why they knew him.
But this was just a small episode for him. After shopping, he and Wang Dong returned home. The game was about to start in one day. Gu Zheng didn't plan to go out tomorrow, so he adjusted his condition at home and made good preparations.
Early in the morning the day after tomorrow, Chang Feng came to pick up Gu Zheng in person. Today is the start of the competition. Chang Feng is also very interested in this Chinese food competition and wants to participate with Gu Zheng.
The Chinese Food Competition was held in the capital, but it was not held in a hotel or a guild hall, but directly in a palace. All previous food competitions have been held here, and everyone who has participated is familiar with it.
The antique architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties adds a lot of sense of the times to the food competition.
The Chinese Food Competition is not open to the public. Only those with invitation letters or contestants can enter. Wang Dong and Chang Feng can enter as Gu Zheng's assistants, but others cannot.
"Shao Ye, Shao Ye!"
Before Gu Zheng got out of the car, he heard someone shouting over there. They were supporters of a certain chef who came to support them, just like many supporters of Gu Zheng supported him outside the venue during the Hangzhou Food Competition.
.
The difference is that only Gu Zheng had supporters that time, while here many chefs have them.
There are all of them, but it doesn’t mean that they are all true. Some of them are hired purely for the sake of appearance and should not be taken as true. This is also an unspoken rule that everyone is well aware of, and no one pays special attention to it.
"Guzheng, Guzheng is coming!"
As soon as Gu Zheng got out of the car, hundreds of people suddenly rushed toward him, which shocked Wang Dong.
"Xu Song?"
Gu Zheng's eyesight was much better than Wang Dong's. He had already seen that the person running in front was Xu Song from Ningbo. Xu Song was his supporter in Hangzhou, and Gu Zheng even went to buy his cigarettes.
chicken.
The other people looked familiar to Gu Zheng. They were basically people who had supported him outside the Hangzhou Food Competition. Unexpectedly, these people had come to the capital and continued to support him here.
"Ancient struggle, ancient struggle!"
Hundreds of people shouted together, which was much better than the dozens of people before. Some players who came to participate in the competition glanced at Gu Zheng jealously and quickly entered the venue.
"Why are you all here?"
Gu Zheng walked over and asked loudly, none of these people were in the capital. They were either in Hangzhou or near Hangzhou. It was not easy for them to get here.
"If you come to participate in the competition, we will definitely come to support you. Guzheng, well done. The competition has not even started yet, but you are so powerful. You have become the favorite to win the championship. We all believe in you, and you will definitely win the first place!"
Xu Song shouted excitedly, they were actually in the same group. After supporting Gu Zheng last time, they did not disband and were still in contact.
No one had thought of coming to this Chinese Food Competition, after all, it was too far away, but with more and more news about ancient disputes on the Internet, especially in the arena competition, he did what others couldn't do and defeated
Song Bai, their minds started to move again.
They have been supporters of Guzheng since before he became famous. At this time, they should come to support Guzheng. Then someone suggested that everyone go to the capital to continue supporting Guzheng, and they quickly received a response from everyone.
The people who ran over also held up more than a dozen banners, all of which were words of support for Gu Zheng. One of them even said that Gu Zheng must win the championship.
These people started preparing long beforehand, contributing money and efforts if they had the money.
Those who have money can exchange some money to use it as funds for this event. Those who have no money but have time can come to the capital to support the ancient struggle. All the expenses for this trip to the capital have been raised together by everyone.
Not only did Xu Song come, he also exchanged 10,000 yuan. Six or seven hundred people spent a lot of money in the capital. He was not the one who exchanged the most money. The rich man who provided lunch for everyone in Hangzhou last time, this time
He also supported Gu Zheng. He couldn't come because he had something to do, and he paid for all the accommodation.
Although it is just an ordinary express hotel, it costs a lot of money to stay with so many people, and for more than one day, it is not a small expense.
The Chinese Food Competition is slightly different from the Hangzhou Food Competition. There are three days of competition in the Chinese Food Competition. On the first day, 300 people participated. The top 30 people will be selected to advance to the next competition. The top 30 people will compete in the competition.
Held on the second day.
The top ten will be determined on the second day of the competition, and the top ten will continue the competition on the third day.
The third day is the ultimate final. The top ten will compete, and there will be a ranking from fourth to tenth. The top three will continue to compete. The person with the highest total score in the last four games will become the first place in this food competition, and then in order
It's second and third.
The top three in each competition will participate in four competitions and cook at least four dishes.
Therefore, in the food competitions over the years, the top three are one level, the top eleven are another level, and the top thirty are another level. Each level is different. Some people think that they can advance to a level, while others aim for the top three.
, we must get the top three no matter what.
This food competition has become even more spectacular due to the sudden rise of ancient competition.
Lu Yong, Yu Yong and others, who were originally the top three most promising, have now dropped in ranking. They lost to Song Bai, but Gu Zheng defeated Song Bai. Now Gu Zheng's ranking has directly surpassed the two and became
The person most likely to win first place.
Not only is he the most promising, he is also ranked first among the top three.
Some people predict that with Gu Zheng's strength, even if he doesn't perform well, he won't be able to reach the top ten. As for the top thirty, many people didn't even guess, and one person will perform better than Lu Yong, Yu Yong and others.
A player, a player who is so praised by President Gou, cannot possibly achieve such a poor ranking.
This result also inspired the supporters of Guzheng, and many people were more willing to come to the scene to support.
They hope this time can be like last time, they waited outside for the news of Gu Zhan's victory, and celebrated with them after Gu Zhan won the championship.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Gu Zheng was very excited. He really didn't expect that these supporters would come so far to support him, and so many people came at once.
These supporters have never thought about what Guzheng will have in return for them. They really hope that Guzheng can win, hope that Guzheng can achieve good results, and Guzheng can achieve good results, just like they themselves have achieved it. It is very
happy.
Or, this is the attitude of fans towards idols.
"Gu Zheng, come on, we believe in you!" A fan raised his hand and shouted.
"Yes, we believe you!"
Six to seven hundred fans raised their hands and shouted together, attracting the attention of countless people.
"No matter what results you achieve, we will support you!"
"It's best to win first place. We hope to hear news about you winning the championship outside!"
"That's right, I will always remember the moment you won the championship and how excited we were!"
The supporters of Gu Zheng were shouting there. They were people who came to the scene. They were not there and there were more people paying attention to them.
The last time we were in Hangzhou, four to five thousand people were waiting outside, waiting for the Guzheng competition to end, waiting for the results of Guzheng. When they learned that Guzheng had really won first place, the supporters outside shouted wildly.
The scene is something that no one will ever forget.
At that moment, they were the happiest and most excited.
They came this time and wanted to recreate that moment, but in order not to put so much pressure on Gu Zheng, not many people said this, and they knew better that this time it was a national stage, the most famous and high-level one in the country.
It’s hard to say whether Gu Zheng can take first place in the highest competition.
Players who have been well predicted and ranked highly in the past have been overturned before, and often. In such a competition, anything can happen.
"I will work hard and try my best!"
Gu Zheng clenched his fists and said loudly that this was his promise to outside supporters that he would do his best to participate in this competition and give full play to his greatest strength.
If he loses because of his strength, he has nothing to say, but he will not allow him to fail because of his lack of effort. In this way, he will not only be sorry for himself, but also sorry for the friends outside who come to support him.
"come on!"
"come on!"
Six to seven hundred supporters escorted Gu Zheng into the palace. They quickly became quiet outside, holding their plaques and banners, wearing the same clothes, and sitting quietly outside, waiting for Gu Zheng's results today.
The palace is very big. The first game will be divided into three places, with 100 people in each place and 300 people all together. It is too crowded.
The palace has a front and rear courtyard, which are divided into three venues. All three venues are open-air. Today is an open-air competition.
Open-air competitions are a big test for the players' mentality. Many players have never cooked outdoors, and being together in the open air is not a closed space. It is easy to be disturbed by the surroundings. People with unstable mentality can easily perform abnormally.
Chang Feng and Wang Dong accompanied Gu Zheng into the Central Court, where their competition would be held.
There are three venues with twenty judges in each venue. Only the top ten in each venue can advance. The first day of the competition is a ten-to-one brutal knockout. This requires higher mental endurance. Don’t look at the participants.
They are all famous chefs, but some famous chefs have fragile mental endurance, and some collapse before the competition is over.
They care too much about this game, and the more they care about it, the worse they will perform.
Gu Zheng was at No. 53. Coincidentally, Song Xiu was also at this venue, and was at No. 52, very close to Gu Zheng.
"You must be Gu Zheng!"
As soon as Gu Zheng arrived at his seat, Song Xiu next to him said lightly to Gu Zheng, Song Xiu was thirty years old and looked somewhat similar to Song Bai. They were both handsome guys, but he was more stable than Song Bai.
"Song Xiu!"
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes, this Song Xiu gave him a dangerous feeling, and Qi Ling soon told him about Song Xiu's situation in his heart.
Song Xiu, a cultivator of internal strength, in the middle stage of the fourth level.
Song Xiu is a master who has cultivated to the fourth level, and is a whole level stronger than Song Zhe. The two look so similar that their relationship is almost obvious.
"Gu Zheng, you have to pay attention. The ingredients that Song Xiu brought are all of ordinary grade, and there is one ingredient that is of medium grade!"
Qi Ling suddenly said something to Gu Zheng, who was slightly startled and narrowed his eyes quietly.
Medium-level ingredients. This Song Xiu actually brought medium-level ingredients.
Although there is only one medium-level ingredient, it is still much better than the ordinary level. Not to mention, in this competition, many chefs brought inferior ingredients.
They also understand the importance of ingredients and know that better ingredients can make better delicacies. However, good ingredients are not so easy to find. They are not ancient and have the tools to identify ingredients.
On earth, naturally grown ingredients cannot reach the mid-level level without special circumstances.
This is doomed, many chefs can produce, and the best ones are only average. Let’s not talk about Song Xiu’s cooking skills. He took out a medium ingredient and surpassed other opponents in terms of ingredients. As long as his cooking skills
Not bad, his grades will definitely not be bad.
Moreover, the medium-level ingredients are something that many ordinary people have never seen or tasted, which brings a shock to the taste and is even better than those ordinary-level ingredients.
Song Xiu had medium-level ingredients, and Gu Zheng didn't expect it.
"What is this medium-level ingredient of his?"
"Secret fragrance is a plant that can increase fragrance!" Qi Ling quickly answered Gu Zheng.
"Secret fragrance!"
Gu Zheng squinted his eyes even more. He secretly had an idea about the medium ingredients that could enhance the flavor.
Originally, in the first game, Gu Zheng broke up and cooked a newly learned cooking skill. It was the cooking skill that the weapon spirit rewarded him after becoming famous and temporarily testing it. Now it is known that Song Xiu has medium-level ingredients, or medium-level ingredients that increase flavor.
Ingredients, Gu Zheng suddenly changed his mind.
For the first session today, he decided to make chicken blood soup.
An extraordinary chicken blood soup.
The competition lasts for two hours. There may be special circumstances that may apply. Generally speaking, the competition must be completed within two hours. Those who fail to complete the competition will be deemed as having no results.
If you don't get results, you lose.
Song Xiu started to cook his delicious food. His knives and cooking utensils were different from others. Gu Zheng asked the weapon spirit, and he was very surprised. The whole set of tools turned out to be fairy weapons.
Kunlun is indeed very wealthy. He actually owns a set of kitchen utensils made of immortal weapons, and he even brought them out to a cultivator of inner strength to use. It is really incredible.
The tools are good, I don’t know how much better than Gu Zheng’s, but no matter how good the tools are, it depends on whose hands they are. If this set of tools belongs to Gu Zheng, it can enhance his cooking skills and get twice the result with half the effort.
But it's hard to say how much effect it can play on Song Xiu.
After all, Song Xiu had no immortal power. Without immortal power, he had to use methods to drive the immortal power. He could only use passive methods to activate it. Motivation and driving are definitely two different concepts.
What Song Xiu wanted to make was actually soup, and it was a very common soup.
Winter melon and pork ribs soup.
However, his winter melons are from Kunlun and are of ordinary grade. His ribs are also pigs raised in the Kunlun Mountains. The grade of pork is also ordinary.
Not to mention ordinary-grade pork, there are very few sub-grade pork. Ordinary-grade pork, just used for cooking, has a much stronger aroma than low-grade, junk-grade pork.
Even if you don't add a little oil, the taste of this pork is much stronger than the pork on the market.
Moreover, Song Xiu added oil, and his oil was rapeseed oil, which was an ordinary-level ingredient. The Kunlun Sect was originally in the Kunlun Mountains, and even Emei could produce many ordinary-level ingredients, let alone Kunlun.
Ordinary-level ingredients are very rare outside, but in Kunlun Pai, you can basically find them everywhere.
Song Xiu's winter melon and pork ribs soup is made according to the most traditional method. First, boil the pork ribs in hot water, and then stir-fry with oil.
Song Xiu worked very quickly. After Gu Zheng took care of the fairy chicken, he had already started pouring oil.
The ordinary-level oily fragrance spread throughout the entire venue. Not only their middle venue, but also the front and rear venues could smell this oily fragrance.
"It smells so good. Who made this?"
"It smells so good, what kind of fragrance is this?"
"It smells like oil, but not greasy at all. It's amazing!"
Many people in the three venues were talking about the fact that Song Xiu's ordinary-grade rapeseed oil did have a very fragrant smell, but it was just oil. After he poured the hot-water-soaked ribs into it, the smell became even stronger.
And this time it's not the aroma of oil, but the aroma of oil and meat. Many people who smell it suddenly feel hungry. This is a scent that can attract their appetite, making them very hungry for this kind of food.
The fragrance spread very far, even some supporters waiting at the door could smell it. Many people sniffed there and smelled the delicious smell.
"It is indeed a national-level food competition. Who made this? It's so delicious!"
"Could it be Gu Zheng? The things he makes are delicious!"
"Probably not, this is the aroma of meat. Gu Zheng has never made such a aroma!"
This is what Gu Zheng's fan group is talking about. The fragrance is really good. Even Gu Zheng felt hungry after smelling it. He had never tasted ordinary-grade pork and all ordinary-grade ingredients.
Soon, everyone discovered the source of this fragrance, Song Xiu.
This contestant is a bit like Song Bai. His origin is unknown, and President Gou couldn't resist the pressure to enter. Not many people paid attention to him at first, but no one expected that he could make food with such a fragrant smell, especially
It's President Gou who has grown them. Their fragrance seems to be comparable only to Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup.
Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup is a delicacy that has taken on a very fragrant form.
Song Xiu quickly added water to the pot, while Gu Zheng's eyes tightened slightly.
After Song Xiu added water, his set of fairy kitchen utensils actually started to move. I don't know how he used it to activate it. The added water actually quickly fused with the ribs in the pot. Not only did the cold water not affect the meatiness of the ribs,
It also releases the meat quality of the pork better and makes the meat more tender.
Gu Zheng can also do this with the Water Control Technique, but the Water Control Technique is a high-level fairy art. This Song Xiu has no magic skills and does not know any magic skills. He can actually do it with the magic weapon. This idea and ability alone are enough.
Worthy of recognition.
This also made Gu Zheng have the idea of looking down on others. He has always been proud of his magical skills and better cooking skills. Although he did not look down on others, he was definitely proud in his heart.
None of this can be copied by him. Others cannot learn it even if they want to. But it does not mean that there is no way to do it. For example, the immortal weapon in front of him has the ability to control water. That's not all. Song Xiu used his inner strength.
While controlling the fire, the immortal weapon is also assisting. Although his control of the fire is not as good as Gu Zheng's, it is not much worse.
Human wisdom is indeed endless. If there is no magical power, other methods can be used to help achieve the effect of magical magic.
After Song Xiu added water, the aroma faded away, and Gu Zheng calmed down and cooked his chicken soup.
You underestimate the world's heroes. This Song Xiu's cooking skills are not bad. Even though he cooks the simplest food, the simpler the food, the greater the power it can burst out in the end. Just because he is simple
, many people know it, so the comparison is very strong and it is easier to get high scores.
After a while, the water on Song Xiu's side started to boil. As soon as it started, he started to add ingredients to the soup.
Every five minutes, he had to add ingredients, and each time he added them were ordinary-level ingredients. His pot of soup was the same as the current Gu Zheng, using ordinary-level ingredients.
All ordinary grade, even the table salt, which is mineral salt produced in their Kunlun Mountains, even the salt can produce ordinary grade. Gu Zheng has nothing to say, he is also all ordinary grade, but his is all ordinary
He knew how difficult the level was, and it took him several qualifications to improve in the ancient world before he could reach the level of ordinary.
Their food ingredients have not been improved, they are all grown naturally. Natural growth can reach the ordinary level, and there are so many more. At the moment, except for these cultivation sects, it is really difficult to go anywhere else.
The aroma of the soup in front of Song Xiu began to spread out again.
He placed one type for five minutes, and five types in a row. On the sixth type, he took out the medium-level 'hidden fragrance'.
Dark fragrance is only a medium-level ingredient. It is not considered high-end among raw materials. Its biggest function is to increase the fragrance. Even if such a thing is of high level, few people in other sects pay attention to it. After all, it does not help in cultivation.
Only practitioners like Gu Zheng or Song Xiu would pay attention.
After adding the subtle aroma, the aroma of the soup in the pot suddenly increased, and the fragrance slowly spread out along the edge of the pot. The aroma this time was different from the previous meat aroma. It didn't have the punch of the meat aroma.
, but retains the delicate meaty aroma.
The scent is not that strong, but the allure is stronger.
It's like having a bowl of braised pork in front of you. It's not greasy or greasy at all. It makes people want to bite it, fill their mouths with juice, and then swallow it.
There is this feeling when you smell the fragrance. Everyone who smells this fragrance becomes even hungrier.
Not only them, Gu Zheng is also the same. It is indeed a medium-level dark fragrance. The fragrance is really strong, but only one raw material cannot achieve the level of extremely fragrant transformation. Song Xiu is not as good as before Gu Zheng.
In that way, white mist condenses.
Gu Zheng's chicken soup was cooked, and he prepared the small pot. Gu Zheng put in the chicken soup and started making real chicken blood soup.
This time, Gu Zheng wants to add six kinds of raw materials to the chicken blood soup instead of the five before. Six kinds of raw materials are the limit of the chicken blood soup. Unfortunately, he does not have medium-level raw materials. There are some in the prehistoric space, such as fairy apricot fruit.
It is medium level, so is Ocean Flower, and the Lightning Bee is also medium level.
It's a pity that none of these things can be used now. The ocean blue is still two days away from maturity. As for the lightning bees and fairy apricots, it's even longer.
He couldn't ripen the medium-level ingredients at the moment, so he could only wait.
The six high-grade raw materials are the limit that can be added to the chicken blood soup. You can only add so much at most. The six high-grade raw materials are put in one after another. A layer of white mist quickly forms over the small pot. The white mist turns into the shape of a chicken.
Walking back and forth.
"Extremely fragrant transformation!"
Song Xiu's eyes also tightened. This was a legendary stunt, a lost skill. He had heard of it a long time ago and thought about whether he could do it, but he failed every time. This time it happened to someone else.
seen.
He had just come out of the mountain and didn't ask too much about Gu Zheng. He only knew that Gu Zheng had defeated Song Bai and was also a cultivator. Later, the sect inquired about it and found out that Gu Zheng was the new head of Emei, but they didn't know anything else.
Anyone else would not be surprised at all by Gu Zheng's extremely fragrant transformation. Many people have seen it many times.
The aroma of chicken blood soup began to spread out, together with Song Xiu's pork rib soup. Both aromas were invisible, but a strangulation and a battle took place in the air.
Both scents tried to suppress the other, but neither one succeeded.
The pork ribs soup has medium ingredients, and the other ingredients are not bad. The cooking skills are assisted by immortal kitchen utensils, and the performance is very good, but the chicken blood soup is after all the cooking skills of Tie Xian.
Tie Xian's cooking skills are unsurpassed by other cooking skills. This is the advantage of Guzheng.
Song Xiu's advantage lies in the ingredients. Neither of them has the strength to completely suppress the other. In this way, the two scents keep entangled and suppressed, but in the end neither one can suppress the other.
As a result, people nearby will be miserable. Just after smelling this fragrance, they smell another fragrance. Both fragrances are so attractive and tempting, but they can only be smelled.
Invisible existence.
Many people's stomachs protested and growled, whether they had eaten or not.
Some people also thought about eating something else to fill their stomachs, but no matter what they took out, they couldn't eat it when they smelled these two aromas. Smelling these two aromas, no matter what they ate, it was like chewing wax.
