It smells so good, but it doesn’t taste like this when I eat it, not to mention how uncomfortable I feel.
The fragrance of the two people also caused a certain amount of interference to many players competing inside. The strong fragrance made them feel hungry. This was only a physical effect, the mental impact was even greater.
With such a strong fragrance, the food they made is incomparable. This is the first day of the competition. Who is so powerful and releases such a strong fragrance?
Some judges, as well as people from the Food Association, were also discussing in low voices.
As bystanders, they knew better, especially President Gou and the others. They had eaten the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng, and the aroma of the chicken blood soup was immediately noticeable, but the aroma was stronger than before.
As for the other one, they also knew that it was made by Song Xiu.
Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup is very famous. Song Xiu makes pork rib soup. The aroma of his pork rib soup can be compared with Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup. This Song Xiu is not simple either.
Although Chairman Gou disapproved of Song Xiu's participation in the competition, he was still very positive about Song Xiu's cooking skills.
Enter the Dragon is another fight between the Dragon and the Tiger, but I don’t know who will win this time. This victory is different from the previous ones. This victory is even more significant.
The person who wins this time is also very likely to be the first place in this Chinese food competition.
Within five miles, the two scents were intertwined with each other, but five miles away, only the scent of Guzheng's chicken blood soup remained. This time the competition took place in the palace, which is located in the city center. This time
More people smell the fragrance of Guzheng Chicken Blood Soup.
Many people are asking about the source of this fragrance.
Song Xiu's soup added winter melon, and the aroma immediately became lighter. The fragrance became lighter, but it does not mean that the temptation was reduced.
The addition of winter melon changes the fragrance into a refreshing fragrance, and the temptation increases. Many people feel hungrier when smelling it and want to eat food with this fragrance. Unfortunately, many people don't even know what the food is.
Gu Zheng understood that without mid-level ingredients like Anxiang, his fragrance would not be so strong and spread so far. However, having better ingredients is also his capital. Unlike Song Bai who cheated before, his ingredients were also inferior.
Difference.
You can't say that my ingredients are not as good as yours, so I disapprove of you if you do well. That's really something I can't afford to lose.
Although Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup was made slower than Song Xiu's, the good one was faster than his. He served it quickly and let the judges taste it first.
The chicken blood soup with the addition of six high-grade raw materials has a stronger and more fragrant taste. This is basically the limit of how many raw materials can be added to the chicken blood soup. Any more, and the therapeutic effect will exceed the tolerance of the human body, which is not good.
The twenty judges all nodded after taking a sip of chicken blood soup.
The taste of this chicken blood soup is really undeniable. It is the best soup they have ever tasted. The high score is for sure. With this score, there is no problem in advancing to the next round. Just look at his final score.
Already.
As soon as Gu Zheng's tasting ended, Song Xiu's winter melon and pork ribs soup was served.
He was only two minutes behind Gu Zheng, and his winter melon and pork ribs soup was ready two minutes later. It was a light soup with a small piece of winter melon floating in each bowl and a small piece of pork ribs at the bottom of the bowl.
After gargling their mouths and calming down, the judges began to taste winter melon and pork ribs soup.
After just one sip, their eyes suddenly lit up. They had just eaten a chicken blood soup that they thought was the best soup. Unexpectedly, they encountered the same delicious winter melon and pork ribs soup. The taste of this pork ribs soup was the same as that of chicken blood.
When it comes to soup, the two are basically between Zhongbo, both are so perfect and so delicious.
If several judges were asked to comment, they would not be able to tell which one would be better, and there would be no way to compare. If they only evaluated these two foods, they would rather give a tie.
But this is a competition, they will not be asked to judge whether it is a draw or not, they must score points.
In the end, the highest score and the lowest score will be eliminated, and the remaining average score will be the final score. The judges themselves don’t know how much this score is. Only the leaders of the organizing committee and the Food Association can give the final score.
Seen backstage.
“The scores are actually the same!”
President Gou and the others all looked backstage. When their scores came out, they were all stunned. Although each judge's scores were different, their final scores were the same, and they were both extremely high scores.
There were people at other venues who prepared delicious food, and the judges also scored it, but it was far behind them.
Their scores are destined to advance, and they have already taken advantage in future competitions. Both of their scores are above 9.9, which is a rare high score.
After making chicken blood soup, Gu Zheng packed up his things and exited the competition venue.
In the Chinese Food Competition, you have to wait until all the competitions are over before you can leave. Even if you have finished the competition, you can't leave now. You have to wait until all the contestants have finished the competition. Even if you can leave, no one will leave because the results will be announced on site.
.
Song Xiu didn't leave either. He sat quietly aside and ignored anyone who came up to talk to him.
There are no special circumstances today. The game will end in two hours. The results of the game will be announced half an hour after the game. Those who advance will be announced. Those who have not advanced can also come tomorrow, but they can only come as spectators. There will be no further participation.
qualifications.
Many people are extremely nervous, thinking about their own performance, thinking about the judges' expressions when they taste it, and wondering what kind of score they can get this time and whether they can advance.
If you can't advance, this competition will be equivalent to running with you and stop there.
There are also some people who have never thought about advancing, so they smile all over their faces and don't care at all. For them, being able to participate is already the biggest victory. They are self-aware and know the gap between themselves and others.
Although they are all among the most famous chefs in the country, there is also a hierarchy between famous chefs and celebrity chefs.
Just like a table tennis match, there are actually many outstanding players across the country, but there are only a few that can really be remembered by everyone. Those few are the best, and others are also capable, but they can't compare to them.
Half an hour passed quickly, and all the contestants in the palace, including the supporters waiting outside, fell silent.
At this time, the only people left outside are the real supporters, the people hired with money, who left after the players entered the stadium. They will not wait outside all the time.
There are probably less than 2,000 people outside the palace now, and there are more than 600 supporters of Gu Zheng, accounting for a full third. His supporters are also the largest.
There is no big screen outside the palace. When people outside know the results, they have to check them online. When the results are announced in the venue, they will also be announced on the Internet, both at the same time.
"Come out, come out!"
A supporter of Gu Zheng shouted first, and then many people took out their mobile phones and refreshed there. The official website of the food competition has been updated, and the list of contestants who advanced on the first day of this food competition has been announced.
There was a big screen in the venue, and the big screen also displayed the promotion list.
Three hundred people, many of them held their breath, hoping to see their own names on the list. Having their own names proves that they have advanced. Even if they fail to advance in the next game, they will still be in the top thirty.
Being among the top 30 in the country sounds much better than being among the top 300.
The names are sorted by formal letters. There are thirty names, no more and no less. You can't tell anyone's achievements from the name alone.
The results and rankings of the top 30 will not be displayed. This is a rule that has been in place since the first session.
"Gu Zheng, with the name Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng has been promoted!"
Outside, a supporter of Gu Zheng shouted excitedly. Sure enough, Gu Zheng was among the thirty list, and Gu Zheng successfully advanced on the first day.
Although no one had any doubts about Guzheng's promotion before, this is after all the highest level competition in the country. No one knows whether there will be any surprises. It is not that it was not predicted that the ranking was very high before, but in the end it was not even the top 30.
Players who failed to advance.
After seeing Gu Zheng's name, they calmed down.
Gu Zheng was already in the top 30. At the same time, many other supporters outside also found the names of the players they supported. Those with names sighed, while those without names were very upset.
Gu Zheng saw his name at first glance, and then he saw Song Xiu.
Song Xiu was promoted like him, but it was not clear what Song Xiu's results were, nor was he aware of the specific scores of the two in this match.
This is the first game. You are promoted to the top 30, but it does not mean that you will be delicious. In every subsequent game, the points from this game will be added to calculate the total score, so the first game is actually the most important one.
game.
Gu Zheng originally broke up to make a new food. The new food also had Tiexian's cooking skills, and the score would definitely not be low. He found out that Song Xiu had medium-level ingredients, so he decided to change the food temporarily. Liu Shi wanted to be the first.
Get a better score in the game, which can lay a good foundation for the future.
Of course, he also wanted to suppress Song Xiu. It was Tang, which was easier to compare. I don't know if he succeeded in suppressing him this time.
"Brother Gu, we won!"
Wang Dong looked at the big screen and shouted happily and excitedly, this is the Chinese Food Competition, not the original Hangzhou Food Competition, this is the most famous and influential competition in the country.
Being able to participate in this competition will make you famous, let alone achieve a good ranking in such a competition.
"Looking at how excited you are, Gu Zheng will definitely win, and he will continue to win!"
Chang Feng said something contemptuously to Wang Dong, but the slight beating in the corners of his eyes betrayed his mood at this time. In fact, he was also very excited. He expected Gu Zheng to win, but at this moment, with his own eyes
Witnessing Gu Zheng's promotion, he couldn't control his emotions at all.
"Store manager, the boss wins!"
At Guji Chicken Blood Soup, the store manager was busy when an employee hurried over. He had previously asked this employee to keep an eye on the official website of the competition and tell him any news.
"Great, hurry up, hang up the posters we prepared in advance!"
In Shanghai, people in the Guji Chicken Blood Soup shop have been paying attention to this competition, especially since they heard that Gu Zheng made chicken blood soup in the first game, which has a different meaning.
The store manager has already had people prepare the celebration and promotional posters for Gu Zheng after his promotion, and they can put them up as soon as Gu Zheng is promoted.
Not only are there people who are in the top ten, but he is also preparing for the top ten, the top three, and even the championship. Every time he is more and more powerful.
Gu Zheng advanced, and the employees in the store were also very excited. This was their boss. Their boss was a person who participated in the Chinese Food Competition and was a contestant who was predicted to win the championship. They were all very proud of this.
Now that Gu Zheng has entered the top thirty, he is one step closer to being the predicted champion.
After the results were announced, the day's competition was over. Tomorrow will be a thirty-to-ten competition, also held in the afternoon. Gu Zheng left as soon as possible. He did not leave, but went to the door to meet the supporters who had been waiting.
together.
Not only were they together, he also brought these people over to treat them to dinner and treat them to a big meal.
Everyone had dinner happily, and Gu Zheng left. All the supporters were very excited and satisfied. They did not come in vain this time, and Gu Zheng did not let them down. They will continue to go there tomorrow and use their own
Action continues to be out there supporting him.
After the results of the competition came out, major food channels, food websites, food TV stations, and newspapers began to report on the food competition. Not only domestic websites, but also foreign reprints.
The Chinese Food Competition is the most influential competition. In terms of Chinese food, it ranks first in the world.
The thirty people who advanced were all named one by one, and then they predicted who among them would be in the top ten. No matter whose prediction, Gu Zheng was basically in the top ten. His previous performance was too dazzling, especially
The aroma of the chicken blood soup he made this time spread so far. If Song Xiu's pork rib soup hadn't appeared at the same time, even more people would have praised him.
Gu Zheng advanced to the top 30, and with the reports, the popularity of Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup Shop increased again. It was still sold out at 4 pm, but there were a lot more people waiting, and some people couldn't get a queue number.
Don't want to leave.
If you can't buy chicken blood soup, just buy noodles. If you can't buy noodles, buy roast chicken or bucket chicken. These are gone. Even if you pay 18 yuan for a bottle of water, you can always leave with something from here.
.
The cheapest product in the Guzheng store is mineral water, priced at 18 bottles.
However, he is not the only one who sells it at such an expensive price. Other shopping malls and supermarkets also have the same price. No one has commented on the price of this mineral water. On the contrary, the store only sells this kind of water, which proves that the store has very high food requirements.
Strictly, bad things will not be brought to the store at all.
Roast chicken, bucket chicken and noodles are the best proof.
The next afternoon, Gu Zheng came to the palace early, and Gu Zheng's supporters arrived earlier than him. They were all waiting there with banners and plaques.
When Gu Zheng arrived, they cheered again, and some people took out their mobile phones to broadcast live. There were quite a few people in the live broadcast room, thousands of people, and they were basically all supporters of Gu Zheng last time.
Even if these people cannot be present at the scene, they must support Guzheng where they are and wait for Guzheng to triumph.
They hope that this time can be the same as last time, and Gu Zheng will continue to lead them to the championship. The difference from last time is that this time they are all in the capital. If Gu Zheng can really get the first place this time, then they will be
A true triumphant return.
Triumph.
For you.
Gu Zheng secretly swore in his heart that this was a group of the cutest people. Their only wish was to achieve better results and to perform better in the competition.
In fact, Gu Zheng understood very well that even if he failed to perform well and really stopped there, these people would not leave him, but would comfort him and encourage him.
These people have no distracting thoughts in their hearts and really only do what is good for him.
Gu Zheng entered the venue. Today, thirty will advance to ten. It is not as fierce as yesterday's three hundred advance to thirty, but it is also a three-to-one knockout. Once he loses, he will say goodbye to this game completely and there is no possibility of continuing.
It is precisely because of the brutal knockout rounds that the top three in the Chinese Cuisine Competition are so valuable. They are all truly masters who have fought hard from thousands of troops, and they are all well-deserved celebrity chefs.
Thirty contestants are all in the same venue, and there are still twenty judges.
The Chinese Food Competition does not have as many judges as the Hangzhou Food Competition. The main reason is that this is the first time the Hangzhou Food Competition was held. In order to convince more people, Hangzhou hired so many judges.
The more judges there are, the more difficult it is to control the secret fragrance.
Thirty contestants are all in the venue where yesterday's ancient competition was held. It is open-air just like yesterday. Tomorrow's top ten competition will be held in the main hall of the palace. There will be two competitions tomorrow, and the top ten will be determined in the end.
In the second game, Song Xiu actually brought out another medium-level ingredient. It was not the dark fragrance from yesterday, but a different one.
The ingredient he brought out this time is called parachutella. It sounds like a very bad thing, but it is a good thing that can enhance the overall taste of food.
Baiku does not mean that everything dries up, but that everything dies and exudes new vitality. This is a very good ingredient, and the level has reached medium. This ingredient alone can give Song
Repairs will add a lot of points.
Medium, medium again, Gu Zheng's ocean flowers won't mature until tomorrow, and he doesn't have medium-level ingredients at all now.
Emei does have some, but they are high-grade raw materials. Gu Zheng has no intention of using those raw materials in this Chinese food competition. After all, they are Emei's private property, and Gu Zheng doesn't want them to waste them.
If you can't use it on Emei, it's a waste.
The food Song Xiu is going to make today is another very common popular dish. This time it is no longer a soup, but a stir-fry, the most common of which is tomato scrambled eggs.
If you use tomato scrambled eggs to participate in the Chinese Food Competition, people who don't know about it will definitely think that this person is crazy, and only Gu Zheng has a headache.
Tomatoes, ordinary level, eggs, ordinary level, Kunlun's ingredients seem to be all ordinary level, not even a second-rate one. Gu Zheng thought about how difficult it would be for him to gather all the ordinary level ingredients, but they are simple, they are everywhere.
The other party has medium-level ingredients, and Gu Zheng pays more attention to it. The delicacy Gu Zheng cooks this time is steamed fish.
Without mid-level ingredients, he can only improve himself through cooking skills. Although steamed fish is not cooked often, it is a cooking skill inherited from Tiexian, and other ingredients can be added to the steamed fish to enhance the flavor.
Steamed fish tastes better.
Making steamed fish this time is different from before, one piece is enough.
Just like the blood soup, Gu Zheng added six high-grade raw materials. No more can be added. Six is the upper limit, otherwise the human body will not be able to support it.
If it is for cultivators, it doesn’t matter if you add a few more types, their bodies can handle it.
Song Xiu put the cutting board away and noticed his cutting board. Gu Zheng was speechless.
This cutting board is actually made of high-quality wood, and it has been around for a certain period of time. Although high-quality wood is just wood, not an ingredient, cutting vegetables on such a cutting board will not harm the food.
Any influence, but can also add a bit of high-grade fragrance.
This cutting board really exudes a light fragrance.
Kunlun is rich and powerful, and Gu Zheng can't compare with it. After seeing it, I stopped watching it and just cooked my own steamed fish with peace of mind.
Song Xiu cut the tomatoes again. The tomatoes were neither big nor small, and very bright, a bit like the genetically modified tomatoes on the market. However, these tomatoes are much more delicious than the genetically modified ones. Such tomatoes are simply not available in the market.
Not to mention stir-frying, even eating it raw will make people praise it.
Song Xiu cut into a piece, and a sweet and sour smell spread out. It spread not far, and only the people around him could smell it. Gu Zheng was one of those who smelled it.
This sweet and sour taste aroused his appetite again.
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. The ordinary-level ingredients and juice fell on the high-quality cutting board, and the smell exuded had a natural allure. Not to mention him, even a cultivator would still arouse appetite.
.
Gu Zheng held his breath, stopped thinking about other things, and calmly dealt with the fish in front of him.
His fish is also of average grade, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a high-grade chopping board, otherwise the smell can also arouse other people's appetite.
Song Xiu cut the tomatoes very slowly and put them together one by one.
If someone looks carefully, they will find that the tomatoes cut by Song Xiu are all the same size and even the same weight, no difference at all.
His knife skill is something few can match.
After cutting the tomatoes, Song Xiu took out a bowl and beat the eggs.
Noticing Song Xiu's bowl, Gu Zheng was speechless again. This time it was not made of high-quality material. This bowl was actually an immortal artifact. Let's not mention that some people made immortal artifacts into bowls. There are such immortal artifacts.
If you really use it for cooking or beating eggs, it's an absolute waste.
There are many small sects out there that don’t even have an immortal weapon.
Using the Immortal Weapon to beat eggs, Gu Zheng noticed that the egg liquid he beat was more mellow and evenly distributed. What Gu Zheng could do with the Water Control Technique, he could do again with the Immortal Weapon.
You really shouldn't underestimate the world's heroes. Even if they don't have magical powers, they can still use other methods to increase their cooking skills.
After the eggs are beaten, Song Xiu causes trouble and pours the oil.
Just like Gu Zheng made egg fried rice, he did not use ingredients such as onions and ginger. Gu Zheng did not doubt that Kunlun had ordinary-level onions and ginger, but after the ingredients reached a certain level, the demand for onions and ginger was really not that great.
On the contrary, it is better not to use it.
Ordinary grade eggs do not have any fishy smell and do not require green onions and ginger to remove the fishy smell. The aroma of green onions is too strong and will suppress the aroma of eggs, so generally speaking, when it comes to the ordinary grade, the green onions and ginger will be put aside.
use.
Song Xiu was obviously the same way. He did not use onions and ginger, but simply used tomatoes to scramble eggs.
Tomato scrambled eggs, some people put tomatoes first, some people put eggs first, and some people put them together. Song Xiu is different from these people. He puts a little tomato first, stirs it a few times, then adds a little egg, and so on.
Add the tomatoes after the eggs are formed, and then the eggs.
They were put into the pot one after another in a circular motion.
The result of this placement is that the sweet and sour flavors of tomatoes and the fragrant aroma of eggs are constantly released to the outside, impacting everyone's sense of smell.
Gu Zheng's sense of smell is more sensitive than others. He is close and can smell it most clearly. Common-level ingredients are very tempting. Even if he is cooking delicious food, his stomach still reacts.
"Soothing Technique!"
Gu Zheng quietly used a calming technique on himself to stabilize his mind. He could not be distracted by the process of making steamed fish. He could not make mistakes in his cooking due to the influence of the aroma next to him.
The steamed fish with six kinds of high-grade raw materials has a stronger aroma.
While Song Xiu was frying tomatoes and eggs, the aroma of steamed fish gradually dissipated. The two aromas were fighting together again, and no one could suppress the other.
Smelling these two fragrances, many people showed helplessness.
Thirty top chefs in the audience were all cooking delicious food at the same time. Unfortunately, no one could compare with these two people. The food made by others also had fragrance, but you couldn't smell it if you weren't close. If you were far away, it would all be smelled.
These two fragrances are dispersed.
The only opponent of these two scents is each other. After countless strangles in the air, in the end no one can do anything to the other.
Today, Song Xiu prepared the food first. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes was easy to make and he made them very quickly. He served the fried eggs with tomatoes.
Song Xiu's tomato scrambled eggs are very different from what ordinary people make.
Song Xiu's tomato scrambled eggs don't have any juice at all, but the eggs are still beautiful and golden brown. Because his tomatoes and eggs are put in every once in a while, the pieces of eggs are fused with the tomatoes. It's not adhesion, but fusion.
, as if the two had grown together.
This seems simple, but it is actually not easy to do.
This requires a very high level of cooking skills. Without certain cooking skills, it is impossible to do this. Moreover, without the assistance of immortal kitchen utensils, Song Xiu would not be able to do it so well and so perfectly.
The judges picked up a piece, put it in their mouths, and tasted it carefully.
Everyone who has eaten tomato scrambled eggs is nodding. It smells good and tastes even better. Although tomato scrambled eggs are a popular food, they may never be as good as Song Xiu’s. This tomato scrambled eggs can still taste tomatoes.
It tastes like eggs, but it's a thousand or even ten thousand times better than ordinary tomato scrambled eggs.
With such delicious food, every judge ate everything in front of them, leaving nothing behind.
Gao Feng, Song Xiu's tomato scrambled eggs still got a high rating. Gu Zheng knew that his tomato scrambled eggs were delicacies with medium ingredients, surpassing him in terms of ingredients. The advantage he currently has is that Tie Xianchu
Art and his magical power.
Tie Xian's cooking skills are impossible for others to imitate or produce. Cooking skills are also very important to food. If the cooking skills are four points and the ingredients are four points, Song Xiu's cooking skills are equal to three points and the ingredients are four points.
, and in Guzheng, four points for cooking skills and three points for ingredients.
Although the two have different strengths, the food they end up with tastes similar and both are so delicious.
The other two points were for immortal power. Song Xiu did not have immortal power, but he had immortal kitchen utensils and bowls, which made up for the deficiency. In this regard, the two scores were even.
Gu Zheng's steamed fish is ready, and he is the second person to prepare the delicious food.
The judges rinsed their mouths, slowly tasted Gu Zheng's steamed fish, and finally nodded together.
This is another delicacy that shocks them and can completely conquer their taste buds. It is a great luck to meet one such delicacy, but they did not expect to meet two today.
Not only today, but also yesterday, the cooking skills of these two people have indeed reached the pinnacle.
The judges were all thinking that such a contestant would be an absolute champion in any previous Chinese food competition, an overwhelming champion that no one could compare to.
But the two happened to bump into each other, and even the judges felt a kind of emotion in their hearts, "How can they be so good when they are so good".
These are two real geniuses, absolute geniuses. The two of them got very high scores again. President Gou and the others hurriedly looked at the judges' scores in the background. They were shocked to find that this time, the scores of the two of them were actually the same.
.
It was the same score twice in a row, and even President Gou couldn't help but think, these two people wouldn't always have the same score, and end up tied for first place, right?
At present, the two people's scores are indeed tied for first place, and they are much higher than the second place. As long as there are no accidents behind them, the first place will definitely happen between the two.
The two-hour competition time ended quickly. Today, because one dish took longer, we applied for overtime, which was extended by half an hour.
Two and a half hours later, the game ends, and the results will be announced half an hour later. There are more people waiting for the results today. At Guji Chicken Blood Soup, the store manager has put down all the work in his hands and is scrolling through his mobile phone.
.
As long as the results come out and Gu Zheng continues to advance, he will immediately hang up a poster showing that Gu Zheng has advanced to the top ten. This is the pride of their store and his pride.
In half an hour, the promotion list was announced on the website and on the big screen in the venue at the same time.
Thirty is entered into ten, and there are only ten people left. It is clearer and easier to see the list.
"Gu Zheng has advanced!"
Outside, a supporter of Gu Zheng immediately cheered. Gu Zheng's name was on the promotion list, not only his name, but also the names of Song Xiu, Lu Yong and others.
The top ten list is similar to what was predicted before. It's just that something went wrong with Yu Yong and he failed to make the top ten. This player who had been in the top three before did not perform well this time and stopped in the top ten.
This also made everyone sigh. On a platform like the Chinese Food Competition, you really can't be careless. It doesn't matter who you are. If you are careless or careless, you may be eliminated. After being eliminated, you will no longer have anything.
The opportunity has come to turn around.
There is no resurrection competition in the Chinese Food Competition.
"Hang it up, hang it up!"
The store manager looked at his mobile phone and excitedly directed the employees in the store. The poster for Gu Zheng's top ten advanced was quickly hung up. The top ten and the top thirty are different. Even if Gu Zheng only got here, he
His name will surely spread throughout the country.
The most important thing is his age. He is the youngest. This is his first time to participate and he has achieved such results for the first time. Who can guarantee that he will not achieve better results in a few years?
Of course, the higher the results this time, the better. The store manager also hopes that Gu Zheng will win the top three, or even win the first place as President Gou said.
"Gu Zheng, congratulations!"
After the top ten list came out, many people came to Gu Zheng to congratulate him. The eyes of these people were complicated.
Top ten, Gu Zheng really entered the top ten, and based on his current performance, he will probably enter the top three. If so, Gu Zheng will definitely create a new record, a record for the youngest person in the top three.
Song Xiu is not that many, and he still has great hope of entering the top three. However, Song Xiu is already thirty years old, and there are many players in history who have won the top three at the age of thirty, so his is not a record.
Once you reach the top ten, your treatment will be different.
The top ten are the truly recognized top masters. Even people like President Gou respect the top ten people very much. This is why the top ten and the top thirty are not ranked.
There is no shame in ranking in the top ten, even if it is tenth, it is also a kind of pride.
At the beginning of the Hangzhou Food Competition, the organizing committee persuaded Zhao Fu to participate, but it took a lot of effort and a lot of promises in private.
Just because Zhao Fu had a top ten result, Zhao Fu was respected by everyone during the competition. It was also for this reason. Unfortunately, in the end, even he did not expect that the first place was taken away from him instead of him.
I don’t know if it was because of the Hangzhou Food Competition, or if I had known that Gu Zheng had participated in this competition. Zhao Fu did not participate in this Chinese Food Competition. He is still young and can participate in the next one.
Another advantage for the top ten contestants is that the next food competition does not require any recommendation or invitation. They are all eligible to participate. If you don’t want to participate, you can postpone it. This is the privilege of the top ten.
Gu Zheng entered the top ten, one of the top ten in the country. Before he left the palace, his cell phone started ringing, and Gu Ming was the first to call him to congratulate him.
Gu Ming also participated in the Chinese Food Competition and got third place. However, he was already in his thirties at that time, much older than Gu Zheng is now. Gu Zheng was already better than his predecessors.
.
In fact, Gu Zheng did not learn his cooking skills from Gu Ming, but Gu Ming did have a great influence on him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that.
"Brother Gu!"
Wang Dong hugged Gu Zheng excitedly. They finally got the top ten, the top ten in the country.
Although it was not him, Wang Dong was happier and more excited than he had achieved such a result. He also secretly swore in his heart that it was Gu Zheng who was participating in the competition here. He must work hard in the future and strive to improve himself, and there will be more to come.
Here are the qualifications to enter the competition.
If he comes to compete, he will definitely achieve good results like Gu Zheng did.
There were twenty or thirty people who came to congratulate Gu Zheng. After all these people left, Gu Zheng was able to leave and hurriedly left.
Outside the palace, there were more than 600 friends waiting for him and supporting him.
I heard from them that more than 200 people will come to the finals tomorrow, and the number of people supporting him outside the scene will reach more than 900. They hope to witness a miracle with Gu Zheng and witness Gu Zheng once again
Win the championship.
This time, Gu Zheng didn't talk as confidently as he did last time, saying that he would definitely win the first place. This time he had a strong opponent, Song Xiu. Without this opponent, Gu Zheng would definitely dare to say such things.
With him here, Gu Zheng is really not sure whether he can take first place.
"Qi Ling, I remember that I have another chance to choose my own cooking skills, right?"
When he returned home in the evening, Gu Zheng locked himself in his room and immediately asked Qi Ling that the last time he completed the test, he had a reward for cooking of his own choice, which Gu Zheng had never used.
"Yes, do you want to choose now?" Qi Ling responded immediately.
"I want to choose one, the best cooking technique using ocean flowers!"
The ocean flowers will mature tomorrow. After they mature, he finally has medium ingredients that he can use, but he does not have the cooking skills to match the ocean flowers now.
“Ocean flower is a versatile ingredient and can be placed in many foods, no special cooking skills are required!”
Qi Ling suddenly said something, and Gu Zheng was slightly startled. How could he have forgotten this? When Qi Ling gave him Ocean Flower, he did tell him that Ocean Flower can be paired with many kinds of food.
"Then choose one of my current ingredients to make the best food!"
The ancient competition was changed immediately. All Ocean Flower delicacies can be used. This is the best thing. Although tomorrow is the last day, there are two games, one for the top ten rankings, and then the top three rankings.
Gu Zheng wants to be first, and he longs for first in his heart. However, under the current circumstances, if he wants to get first, he needs to make complete preparations. It is very important to choose a food that is most suitable for him.
"With all the ingredients you currently have, I recommend a cooking technique, fish-flavored honey chicken!"
“Fish Honey Chicken?”
Gu Zheng was slightly startled. The name sounded weird. He knew honey chicken. This was the first test he made, but what was fish-flavored honey chicken?
"Fish and chicken don't go well together. Generally speaking, these two foods have to be cooked separately. The two ingredients conflict. Putting them together will not only fail to highlight the taste of the two, but will cause conflict and the taste will become very bad.
Master Tie Xian discovered this situation in his early years, and then he has been studying these two foods, and finally created a cooking technique that perfectly combines the flavors of the two foods, called fish-flavored honey chicken!"
Qi Ling explained that there are fairy chickens and fairy fish in Guzheng now. Although the lightning bees are not yet mature, the young lightning bees can still collect honey. They collected some ordinary-level honey. The quantity is not much, but it is enough for him to make once.
Honey chicken.
"Okay, I'll choose this cooking skill!"
After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng finally nodded heavily. He now cooks both chicken and fish, but there is really no combination of the two. The two are not easy to fuse. Even if someone makes the two together, then
It is also true that the taste of one ingredient completely suppresses the other, and you want to release the characteristics of both, there is no way.
Such cooking skills are very eye-catching in itself.
“The descendant of Tie Xian, choose your own cooking skills, fish-flavored honey chicken!”
Following Qi Ling's words, Gu Zheng saw the young man in white again, smiling at him and cooking delicious food.
Fish-flavored honey chicken, chicken and fish must be cooked together first. The key to cooking is to make the flavors of the two ingredients blend. A true blend can bring out their respective strengths and make up for their respective shortcomings.
After blending, the taste of the fish will become weak due to the long cooking time, so you will give up.
The taste of chicken is better at this time.
The cooked chicken is added with honey and other ingredients and steamed together. The final product is fish-flavored honey chicken. There is no smell of any fragrance. Just watching the young man in white cook it again makes Gu Zheng feel like his mouth is watering.
Come down.
Just looking at the presentation, this fish-flavored honey chicken is very good.
With his self-selected cooking skills, Gu Zheng calmed down his bad thoughts and entered the ancient space to practice again. In the ancient space, he ate another Immortal Yuan Pill. He now has a sufficient number of Immortal Yuan Pills.
In the last fame test, the weapon spirit actually rewarded him with forty immortal essence pills. Forty pills, it took him more than half a month to digest one pill. How long does it take to digest these forty pills?
Including the Xianyuan Pills he had stored before, he had more than eighty pills, which were enough for him to practice for several years.
However, the reason why there are so many rewards is because there is a temporary test in his fame test. The combination of the two gave him such a reward. The weapon spirit has never been stingy with Xianyuan Dan, and it is eager to compete with others.
Practice more and reach the realm of Golden Immortal as soon as possible, so that you can go to the wilderness as soon as possible and let it see Tiexian Immortal again as soon as possible.
Gu Zheng got up early the next morning. After practicing yesterday, he was in good spirits today.
Gu Zheng's Tie Xian Immortal Technique has been growing steadily and slowly. He did not practice at a high speed as soon as he obtained the magic technique like the protagonist in the TV novel. Until now, he has been practicing at a normal speed.
In the eyes of the weapon spirit, this speed is already very slow.
At least Gu Zheng can't compare to the original Tiexian. He has enough Immortal Yuan Dan and has practiced for more than half a year. Now he has only reached the 50th percentile of the second realm of Tiexian's Immortal Art. If he had been replaced by Tiexian, he would have already reached the third realm.
Already.
Gu Zheng's cultivation speed has always given the weapon spirit a headache.
Wang Dong didn't get up until he came back from a run. He smelled the aroma of breakfast made by Gu Zheng and got up quickly.
No matter how sleepy you are, you have to eat the delicacies made by Gu Zheng, and you can't sleep in for the delicacies made by Gu Zheng himself.
Nowadays, Guzheng has completely become famous. It is currently ranked among the top ten in the country in the Chinese Food Competition. In the future, there will be more people who want to eat Guzheng and make delicious food. Many people who want to eat may not be able to eat it, and they may not be able to queue up.
"I should have followed Brother Gu from the beginning, not the master!"
Gu Zheng makes fried eggs and ordinary rice soup, but they are all ordinary ingredients and taste very delicious.
"Uncle Hu will probably be very sad if he hears what you said!"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at Wang Dong. Uncle Hu was really good to him, but he taught him carefully and even planned to pass his small shop to Wang Dong in the future. He would not even give his own son to that shop.
"Don't worry, the master will not be jealous. He has said many times that he wants me to learn more in the future, and combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to create my own characteristics!"
Wang Dong chuckled, and Gu Zheng looked at him, but his heart suddenly moved.
Wang Dong himself doesn't know that he already has his own characteristics, but he hasn't brought this characteristics into full play yet.
Wang Dong's understanding of the Tao of Yin and Yang is his characteristic. In the past, Gu Zheng could not help him, but now Gu Zheng is the head of Emei. Wang Dong cannot learn his immortality cultivation method, but he can use the ancient martial arts method to enter the Tao.
Woolen cloth?
If Wang Dong can also practice, firstly, it will increase his strength. His strength is also a drawback that limits his cooking skills. Secondly, it will help his understanding.
If Wang Dong also learned how to cultivate inner strength, possessed inner strength, and had better ingredients, would he be like Song Xiu, with such good cooking skills and able to make such good food?
This is not impossible.
Although Emei is not a big place, there is no problem in providing Wang Dong with some ordinary-level ingredients.
"Qi Ling, at Wang Dong's age, can he still practice?"
It's best to ask Wuyou about this question, but it's troublesome to contact Emei, so Gu Zheng simply asks Qi Ling directly.
"Why do you ask so suddenly?" Qi Ling asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just thought about it. Wang Dong is a good kid. If he can cultivate his inner strength, it will be of great help to his cooking skills, so I asked!"
"Normally speaking, Wang Dong can no longer practice cultivation. His bones are formed and his internal organs have no innate Qi. He cannot cultivate his internal energy at all. Inner energy must be cultivated from an early age!"
Qi Ling spoke slowly, and Gu Zheng showed disappointment on his face. Qi Ling suddenly said, "But Lord Tiexian has a method of food cultivation called marrow-washing food cultivation, which allows people who are not qualified to practice again, whether it is
Either immortal power or internal energy can be used, marrow cleansing food cultivation is an advanced food cultivation method, do you want to learn it?"
The words "Qi Ling" sound very tempting no matter what.
Gu Zheng understood that when the weapon spirit asked this question, there would definitely be another test. If he wanted to get benefits from the weapon spirit, the first step was a test, and the second step was to do something that would make it happy, otherwise it would be impossible.
"You tell me what kind of test you need to accept, I will take it!"
Gu Zheng said slowly. This time it was Qi Ling's turn to be surprised and couldn't help but ask: "How do you know you have to accept the test? You are willing to accept it without even asking about any test?"
"If there is no test, will you give it to me?"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes and continued: "Since only a test can complete the marrow cleansing and food cultivation, and I want to help Wang Dong, I can only accept the test. If there is another way, do you think I am willing!"
Indeed, the only way to help Wang Dong is through marrow cleansing and food cultivation. If you want to obtain marrow cleansing and food cultivation, you must accept the test of the weapon spirit. This is simply no choice.
He could also ask Wuyou, but he didn't think Wuyou had a better solution than Qi Ling. If he had, Emei wouldn't have so many disciples who couldn't cultivate their inner strength.
Lack of physical fitness and inability to cultivate inner energy are an important factor restricting the development of Emei.
Marrow cleansing food cultivation not only allows people like Wang Dong who are unable to practice to practice again, people with poor physical fitness can also have the physique of cultivation after taking marrow cleansing food cultivation.
Marrow cleansing, bone cleansing and marrow removal are equivalent to reshaping the physical body. No wonder this is an advanced food cultivation method.
"Yes, seeing that your attitude is so sincere, I won't give you any difficult tests!"
Qi Ling seemed to be very pleased, and suddenly his tone changed, and he said again: "The descendant of Tiexian, I have taken the initiative to ask for a test. This test is a voluntary request. You cannot give up or refuse. The test starts from now on!"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes, and of course he would not give up or refuse if he took the initiative.
"This test requires the descendants of Tie Xian to win the championship of the most important event they participate in for the first time. There is no limit to this test. If you succeed, you will get marrow cleansing, food repair and other rewards. If you fail, you will be severely punished!"
After Qi Ling finished speaking, he stopped talking.
"That's it. This test is to win the championship?"
Gu Zheng was slightly stunned. Qi Ling said he would give him an easy test, but he did not expect that the test would be this. This was his first time participating in the most important event. The championship was always his goal, even without this
Even if he is tested, he will work hard.
Besides, there are no restrictions on him in this test. No matter how you look at it, the weapon spirit seems to be helping him.
"Don't think it's so simple. After the test is released, I can also get some information here that you can't think of. In today's final game, you have only one opponent, Song Xiu. He has prepared three medium-level ingredients for this final.
, except for water, the quality of other ingredients in the delicacy he made this time has reached medium level!"
Qi Ling spoke slowly, while Gu Zheng was stunned and couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
This Song Xiu is so perverted. Except for water, all the ingredients are medium-level. Is it possible that he wants to make delicacies with all medium-level ingredients?
The gap in ingredients can be made up for one kind by Guzheng's cooking skills, but there are three kinds. Even he has no confidence that his cooking skills can completely make up for it.
He also has one kind, but in this way, there are still two kinds of difference, and he has a lot of ordinary ingredients, ordinary plus medium, and mostly medium, the taste result is definitely different.
