Three kinds of medium-level ingredients, Gu Zheng’s face showed helplessness.
There are so many good things in Kunlun? But in today's environment, even the Kunlun Sect cannot grow medium-level ingredients. How did he get these ingredients?
As before, it was just dry ingredients. Gu Zheng could still understand that Emei could store medium-level ingredients, let alone Kunlun, but Qi Ling said that this time Song Xiu would use medium-level ingredients as the main ingredients to make delicious food.
, where did his medium ingredients come from?
You can't just use things that have been there for thousands of years, and you won't be able to make anything.
Gu Zheng is hard to understand, but no matter how hard he understands, he still has to make preparations. The competition will start in the afternoon, leaving him very little time.
"Help me find the Supreme Elder!"
Gu Zheng contacted the Emei disciples and specified that he wanted to find Ouyang Hai. At this time, the only one who could help him was Ouyang Hai, and no one else had time.
"Sir, I would like to ask if you have any good collections that can be used to make delicious food!"
In fact, there are mid-level high-end raw materials in Emei. It would be a waste to only use those raw materials to make delicious food. Gu Zheng had no intention of using them, so he asked Ouyang Hai.
If Ouyang Hai didn't have it, he thought of going to Shushan to change it as quickly as possible. He believed that Shushan must have such a thing.
"I have a part of my collection, do you need it?"
Ouyang Hai was a little surprised, but he answered in the affirmative. Gu Zheng felt a little relieved. It would be great if Ouyang Hai had it, but he didn't know if Ouyang Hai's collections reached the medium level.
However, as a cultivator who existed in the era of prosperous magic, having mid-level ingredients seems to be nothing.
"Great, Supreme Elder, can you bring some to me and let me have a look!"
Gu Zheng said quickly, he now only has Ocean Flower, and only one medium-level ingredient, and the other party has three kinds, and they are all used to make delicious food. In addition, the other party also has fairy kitchen utensils and various auxiliary tools. The other party's kitchen
His skills aren't bad either, but Gu Zheng really doesn't have that much confidence in whether he can beat him.
His only advantage now is Tie Xian's cooking skills. Tie Xian's cooking skills are indeed better than his, and they have been verified in the past few days.
But Tie Xian's cooking skills are not omnipotent. No matter how high the opponent's ingredients are, he will not be able to beat the opponent even if he has Tie Xian's cooking skills. It's like making omelettes in the same way. If Gu Zheng uses the most common eggs,
If you do it, you will definitely not be able to make it like that. He may not be able to make as good an omelette as Wang Dong makes at an ordinary level.
This is the difference in ingredients. Qi Ling has limited ingredients in many tests. It is because of Tiexian's cooking skills that it must be paired with good ingredients.
If the ingredients are not good, the effect of Tie Xian's cooking skills will not be brought out at all.
"Okay, wait for me!"
Ouyang Hai didn't hesitate and agreed directly. Gu Zheng asked him to hurry up. There was a competition in the afternoon and there was really not much time.
This was also the reason why he looked for Ouyang Hai. Only Ouyang Hai could fly here in such a short time. In fact, Wuchou and Gu An were in the capital now, protecting him secretly, but he didn't know this.
It's useless to know, they don't carry such things with them.
Ouyang Hai came very quickly and arrived in the capital at noon. When he arrived, Gu Zheng had just prepared lunch, which was shredded chicken noodle soup. Wang Dong and Chang Feng were both there, shouting that they wanted to eat this.
As soon as Ouyang Hai arrived, he shared a bowl.
"This is my mustard bag. Although it can't hold many things, it's much better than ordinary things!"
After lunch, Ouyang Hai and Gu Zheng entered the room alone, took out a small cloth bag, and whispered that Ouyang Hai actually had a space fairy weapon, but it was the most common and lowest kind.
His mustard bag only has about 20 times the space in it. The pocket is not big in the first place, and the 20 times the space is not much bigger. It is almost the same as a large cardboard box. It can't hold much. Gu Zheng took out all the things before.
They were big things like pots and pans, and at first glance they were much stronger than his.
If you put pots and pans, put two of them, and his one will be full.
"Prickly pear grass, normal level, not bad!"
Ouyang Hai started to dig out his collection, and the first thing he took out was a high-grade raw material, but unfortunately it was only of ordinary grade.
High-grade raw materials can be used to make both food and food. Ordinary raw materials can only be used to make food but not food. This is the difference between high-grade raw materials and ordinary raw materials.
All the raw materials that can be used for food cultivation can be used to make elixirs and are useful for cultivation.
The bodhi grass they were looking for before was just a common raw material. Apart from making incense and making wine, it had no other uses, so even if it reached a very high level, no one would ask for it.
"Seven-color flowers, medium!"
When Ouyang Hai took out the sixth object, Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. It was a dry flower with petals of seven colors, and this seven-color flower reached a medium level.
"This seems to have been taken off when I was in power. I kept it because it looked good. I don't know how to use it. Does the leader need it?"
Ouyang Hai looked at the seven-color flowers, reminisced about them, and finally said in a daze that he had stored a lot of things. The main reason was that there were no more raw materials to collect in the Age of Dharma End, and he could not collect the things he had picked before.
Just keep it.
"Yes, yes!"
Gu Zheng nodded quickly. The medium-level seven-color flower can be used as food. The seven-color flower has petals of seven colors. Each petal has a different function and taste. Such raw materials are actually the best for food. This time Ouyang asked
Hai Lai really found the right one. Just one colorful flower can bring great benefits to Gu Zheng.
Ouyang Hai was not stingy, he directly gave the seven-color flower to Gu Zhen, and then went on to take out his things.
"I borrowed it from you, and I will pay it back to you later!"
Gu Zheng said softly that he couldn't take Ouyang Hai's stuff for nothing, and it was a medium-level ingredient. With this ingredient, and the ocean flowers he had, he also had two mid-level ingredients.
"Wait, what is this!"
Ouyang Hai was taking out something when Gu Zhengze suddenly called out. Ouyang Hai took out a small, round, black bead from what he was taking out.
"This seems to be a kind of fruit. I forgot what it is!"
Ouyang Hai stared at the small black bead, touched his head, and said with some embarrassment. It had been too long and he really couldn't remember. He hadn't used this mustard bag for hundreds of years.
There was nothing worth taking out, and nothing worth putting in. What did he usually do with this bag?
"This is the Golden Congo, the fruit of the Rudraksha tree!"
Gu Zheng answered for Ouyang Hai. The Rudraksha tree is a very rare and hard tree. The name seems to have a lot to do with Buddhism. In fact, it is not. It is just that the name of this kind of book is attributed to Buddhism.
rise.
The Rudraksha tree is a very high-level tree species. Its fruit only matures once every thirty years, with only one fruit at a time.
The Rudraksha tree itself can reach a medium level, but the fruit it produces only once every thirty years is one level higher than itself.
In other words, the grade of Rudraksha fruit can reach excellent.
Ouyang Hai's Rudraksha tree fruit has reached the excellent grade. This is the second time Gu Zheng has seen something of the excellent grade.
"It seems like, I really forgot, I just thought this looked good, so I stayed here!"
Ouyang Hai was a little embarrassed. In fact, he collected more than these things. He also stored some in other caves. But Gu Zheng was in a hurry, so he came with this mustard bag.
He had forgotten at least half of the contents of Mustard Seed's pocket.
"This black fruit is of great use to me. Can I borrow it from you first? I can't pay it back to you here, but if I have the chance to go to the ancient space in the future, I will definitely find a way to pay it back to you!"
Gu Zheng said quickly, although high-quality fruits are not specific ingredients, they can still be used like raw materials.
The excellent grade can give him a lot of extra points for the food he makes. Even in the Era of Shengfa, there are not many excellent grade things on the earth. As for high-grade things, there are even fewer.
Now is the Dharma Ending Age. To encounter an excellent item is a great blessing.
That's why Gu Zheng said that he would return it to Ouyang Hai in the prehistoric space. He really didn't have any confidence on the earth. In fact, he had a high-quality snow lotus seed in his hand, but this snow lotus seed should be reserved for Wuyou's advancement.
Might be used in gourmet food.
"As you said, Master, if you need anything, you can take anything here!"
Ouyang Hai grinned. He had no use for these things. Gu Zheng was useful and could just show his value. As for what Gu Zheng said about entering the prehistoric era, Ouyang Hai was very much looking forward to it.
He knows very well that with Gu Zheng's status, once he enters the prehistoric era, he will definitely have countless cultivation resources. When the time comes, he will also be able to benefit from it. This little thing will not matter.
"Thank you, Supreme Elder!"
Gu Zheng immediately put away the black fruit. The grade of this black fruit was excellent. Excellent grade was higher than Song Xiu's medium grade. With this black fruit, Gu Zheng was basically sure to defeat him.
"Master, please take a look. If you need anything, you can keep it. It's useless to let me go!"
Ouyang Hai simply took out everything from the mustard bag. Although the mustard bag was not big, it contained a lot of things. After a while of practicing, he took out more than two hundred items.
Most of these are of ordinary grade, and there are about ten pieces of medium grade, and the excellent ones have never been seen again.
Things of high quality, useful for cultivating immortals, have been used by Ouyang Hai for thousands of years, and they cannot be kept until now.
"This, and this, I'll keep this, you put the rest away first!"
Gu Zheng's eyes lit up and he took three more medium-level raw materials from Ouyang Hai. The remaining few could be used for food repair and other purposes, so Gu Zheng kept them for the time being and did not take them over.
These three items, plus the previous one, equal to four medium-level ingredients and one excellent-level ingredient. Gu Zheng is now full of confidence in this Chinese food competition.
Even if Song Xiu has three medium-level ingredients, Gu Zheng doesn't have any worries now. He has one more item than Song Xiu. The most important thing is that he also has one more top-level ingredient of excellent quality.
In the current Gu Zheng, he no longer understands anything about the classification of ingredients as he did in the beginning. He still remembers Qi Ling saying that when his Tiexian Immortal Technique reaches the fifth realm, he can use the advanced ingredients in the prehistoric space.
Use it however you like.
High grade, not excellent, nor medium, nor ordinary, it is the highest among the eight levels of ingredients. The delicious food made with such ingredients would make Gu Zheng's mouth water just thinking about it.
No wonder the previous weapon spirits didn't like what he made. With such ingredients, those ordinary-level ingredients are really unacceptable.
Perhaps the ordinary level is already the best in his eyes, but in the eyes of the weapon spirit, it is just a street stall on the roadside, an existence that he would not want to pick up after seeing it.
In the afternoon, many media came to the entrance of the palace. Today is the finals, and the media are allowed in.
However, only invited media can enter. There is no live broadcast of the Chinese Food Competition, but there is a recording, which will be broadcast by CCTV Food Channel a few days later. There was a live broadcast before, but there was an accident during the live broadcast, so it was stopped.
"Ancient struggle, ancient struggle!"
As soon as the car from the ancient city arrived, two rows of people came over from the palace, all wearing uniform clothes, divided into two rows, and stood neatly on both sides of the car.
Both the media and the people who came to watch the game were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene. A few people who came before were extremely envious. Gu Zheng's fans are really persistent. With so many contestants, Gu Zheng has the most fans.
And the most orderly.
These people came after lunch and waited until the ancient battle came.
"Thank you, thank you everyone!"
Gu Zheng got out of the car and kept waving. When they saw Gu Zheng coming, these people immediately became excited. There were more people today than yesterday, more than 900 people, and the rich man who sponsored the car came in person today.
Not only did he come, he also brought more things. Today, everyone has a small trumpet, and they can use the trumpet to shout for everyone in the ancient struggle.
"Come on, let's shout together!"
As soon as the local tyrant raised his hand, everyone immediately put their trumpets in front of their mouths and shouted together.
"Gu Zheng, you are the best!"
"Gu Zheng, get first place!"
"Gu Zheng, we will always support you!"
With the loudspeaker amplification, their voices were really loud, and many media even took photos of them. They were also a good source of news.
"Thank you, I will definitely work hard and get first place!"
Gu Zheng shook his fist. He never said that he could win first place before, but it is different now. He has a test, a test that must be completed. Whether it is for these supporters or because of the test, he must win first place.
One, win the championship in this competition.
“Yeah, that’s great!”
"Great, Gu Zheng said he would take first place!"
"Gu Zheng said he can win first place, so he can definitely do it. He has never let us down!"
Many people were shouting excitedly. These people supported Gu Zheng at first simply because Gu Zheng was someone who came from the grassroots and they watched him grow up. There were also some people who participated in Hangzhou.
For contestants in the food competition auditions, supporting Gu Zheng means supporting them.
No matter what the reasons are for supporting Gu Zheng, they have become a family now, and they have also given their small organization a nice name "Gu Mi"
There are only more than 2,000 members of Ancient Fans now. Compared with those celebrity fan groups, they are a very small organization, but they are very united and extremely united. Of the 2,000 people, more than 900 people came to the scene.
Support, accounting for almost half.
Even for celebrity fan groups, it is difficult to achieve such a ratio.
Gu Zheng entered the palace. Today is the third and last day of the competition.
The ten finalists will be given a separate room in the main hall of the palace. In the next two hours, they will have the first game. After the game, the results from fourth to tenth will be announced. There will be no results after that.
The three people whose names are announced will continue to compete.
After the second game, this Chinese food competition will come to a successful conclusion, and the final top three results will be announced.
There are still twenty judges. Unlike some movies and TV shows, which only have three or four judges. The number of judges in the food competition cannot be too few. If there are too few, the real results will not be comparable. After all, everyone has their own preferences in food, cucumbers, radishes, etc.
The more of this, the more of which he likes, may affect the final result.
"Ancient struggle!"
"Master Gu is here!"
After Gu Zheng came in, many people took the initiative to say hello to him. No matter how old Gu Zheng was, he was truly in the top ten, and might even get the top three or even the first place. At this time, other people's attitude towards him
There have also been changes.
In the food industry, although seniority is important, those who are more advanced are ranked first, and those with real abilities will be admired everywhere.
Gu Zheng responded one by one. He did not ignore these people just because he got good grades. Regardless of whether he knew them or not, as long as they were polite to him, he would definitely respond in return.
This is also a characteristic in ordinary ancient life.
The twenty judges were already seated, and Gu Zheng also walked to his small cubicle. The only one following him was Wang Dong. As for Chang Feng, he came just to join in the fun and couldn't help at all.
Five minutes later, the game started.
There is no live broadcast of this competition, only people inside constantly send text descriptions. Some people inside are holding mobile phones and posting the latest information in forums or other places.
Posting text is allowed, but posting video is not allowed. If someone is found secretly filming, the filming tools will be confiscated in the mild case, and in serious cases, they will be expelled from the competition venue. Filming is not allowed in the finals of the Chinese Food Competition.
"The game has already started, I don't know what Gu Zheng did!"
"The Chinese Food Competition cannot be repeated. The first time I made chicken blood soup, the steamed fish I made yesterday, today it may be shredded chicken noodle soup!"
"It might be something else, but no matter what Gu Zheng does, it's always the most delicious!"
Outside the palace, the supporters of Gu Zheng were all discussing in a low voice. After the wealthy people came, they bought a small horse for each person, so that everyone did not have to stand and wait, and could just sit down.
There are security guards outside the palace, but these people are very quiet. If there is any trouble, they just watch and don't ask.
"It's out, it's out, Gu Zheng brought out the vegetables?"
Someone suddenly shouted. They were all very concerned about what would happen in the first ancient competition. The first competition was the competition for the top three and the ranking of the top ten. It was very important, and everyone in the food competition basically did the same thing.
They are meat dishes, and meat dishes are more likely to produce flavor. Vegetarian dishes are not absent, but very rare.
Generally speaking, those who make vegetarian dishes are the ones who are the best at it. Maybe it’s just this one specialty dish that will be gone once it’s finished.
Gu Zheng has more than one specialty delicacy. When someone said that he had brought out green vegetables, many people were stunned. Gu Zheng had never cooked green vegetables on any other occasion.
"Is it just an excipient?"
Someone said something, and the person who spoke before was focused on his phone. After the report about Gu Zheng came out, he started talking about other people instead of Gu Zheng.
Inside the venue, Gu Zheng indeed brought out green vegetables, and it was not just an auxiliary ingredient as the supporters outside had guessed.
What he is going to make today is green vegetables, but these are not ordinary green vegetables, but fairy vegetables grown in the ancient space. Gu Zheng has harvested so many fairy vegetables, but he has never had suitable supporting cooking skills. Last time he completed
After the test of becoming famous, Qi Ling finally rewarded him with the skill of cooking fairy dishes.
A delicacy made with fairy vegetables as the main ingredient, emerald green.
Cuiyuqing, the main ingredient is fairy vegetables, and five fairy vegetables are used at a time. Five fairy vegetables can be stir-fried to make one dish. I originally wanted to try this dish in the first game, Guzheng, but I found that Song Xiu made it
It was winter melon and pork ribs soup, so I changed it to chicken blood soup.
Now is a good time to make this dish. The main ingredient is fairy vegetables, and other ingredients are of ordinary grade. Gu Zheng has added medium-grade seven-color flowers.
For fairy vegetables, it is enough to add a medium-level ingredient. If there is too much, the original taste of fairy vegetables will be suppressed. The seven-color flower is a supplement. The seven-color flower has seven flavors. It is cooked in this jade green flower.
Among them, it is the most suitable.
No matter what kind of vegetables, they are quick to stir-fry, and fairy vegetables are no exception. Gu Zheng was the first person to cook delicious food.
The prepared fairy vegetables are arranged exquisitely and very beautifully. The fairy vegetables are particularly green, and they are that kind of transparent green, just like jasper placed on the plate. The seven petals of the seven-color flower have melted and are dotted on the plate.
The top of the green vegetable leaves adds a picturesque beauty to the green vegetable leaves.
Like fried eggs, this dish has a very noble artistic feel.
“Try it!”
The food judges of Gu Zheng are still looking forward to it. Although the judges will change every time, the previous judges also said that the food made by Gu Zheng and Song Xiu tastes the best and feels higher than other contestants.
A whole level.
The judges will not say this publicly, but the judges are also people in the circle, and there is still communication in the small circle.
Each person picked up a piece of jasper-like fairy greens, and before they put it into their mouths, a clear fragrance shocked them. The fragrance was somewhat similar to mint, but it was much cooler than mint, and not as strong as mint.
After exhaling, I went to smell the fragrance again, only to find that the fragrance had changed. It was not as clear as before, but turned into a faint fragrance. Two different fragrances appeared on the same food at the same time.
All the judges were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Someone lowered his head and smelled the green vegetables again. This time the aroma changed again, becoming mellow. After exhaling, he smelled it again and it became fragrant again.
Every time I smell it, the taste is different, which makes all the judges extremely shocked.
You have to compete for delicious food and you can't smell it all the time. One judge put the green vegetables into his mouth and his eyes were fixed.
Take a light bite, and the green vegetables immediately exude a refreshing coolness, which refreshes the whole body. Take another bite, and the coolness turns into a delicate fragrance, just like the fragrance in the flowers, and the fragrance spreads to every part of the body.
There is an indescribable, lazy feeling of comfort all over the body.
The fairy vegetables are very crisp in the mouth and don't taste like green vegetables.
It's not like brittle bones, it's more brittle than brittle bones. Every bite has a different taste, making people unable to stop chewing or swallowing.
The mid-level ingredients, coupled with Tie Xian's cooking skills, bring about results that are not just one plus one. The results are astonishing. Everyone of the twenty judges has the same idea in mind. They have been doing it for decades.
I have lived in vain, I never thought that food could taste like this.
This is a delicacy they have never tasted and could not imagine.
After making his own fairy dish, Gu Zheng turned to Song Xiu. The first thing he cooked today was another popular dish, a very common family dish, braised pork.
Braised pork is also a famous local dish. There is one chef who is the best at it this time. Unfortunately, he had participated in Song Bai's competition before and was defeated by Song Bai. He suffered a great mental blow and even the top thirty
They didn't even get in and were eliminated early.
The braised pork made by Song Xiu uses six ingredients, high-quality pork belly, cooking oil, sugar, salt, soy sauce and a medium-level ingredient.
In addition to the additional medium-level ingredients in Song Xiu's braised pork, there is actually another medium-level ingredient in it, and that is sugar.
Gu Zheng didn't know where Song Xiu's mid-level sugar came from. It couldn't be left over from the era of prosperity. But if it hadn't been for that time, modern society wouldn't be able to produce mid-level sugar at all, unless he also had something similar.
With Yu Guzheng's ability, he can improve food ingredients, and he can upgrade them to medium.
Two kinds of medium ingredients. Gu Zheng remembered that Qi Ling said that he had three kinds of medium ingredients. Unexpectedly, he brought out two of them in the first game.
It doesn't matter if he takes it out, at least it will let Gu Zheng know what he has. In the next final game, Gu Zheng will use all his strength and all the ingredients to complete the game, that is, there will be no regrets in this game.
I can also complete this test very well and get the method of marrow cleansing and food repair.
With the marrow cleansing diet practice, he can help Wang Dong embark on a completely different path as a chef.
Song Xiu was the second to finish his braised pork. In the three games, he and Gu Zheng did not use it for more than an hour. Unlike other chefs, two hours was not enough.
The ten chefs slowly completed the competition.
After the game, except for Gu Zheng and Song Xiu, everyone else looked a little nervous. This time it was the top three and it was qualifying. No one knew what kind of results they could achieve.
Those who can persist in the top ten are definitely chefs with real talents and abilities. It can be said that they are all the top beings in a certain cuisine. They are not convinced by anyone, and they all want to get good results.
.
The top ten in every competition over the years is actually not much different from the top three. They all hope to get the top three. The key lies in their performance on the spot.
Even if you can't get into the top ten, you still hope to have a good ranking. The top ten will announce the results. No matter what, fourth is much better than tenth. If the ranking can be improved by one step, it is a big victory.
At the end of the competition, the scores given by the judges have been reported. The scores for this competition are added to the scores for the previous two competitions. The top three will not announce their results and continue the competition. The results for fourth to tenth will be announced on the spot.
"It's a critical and tense moment again!"
Outside, a supporter of Gu Zheng said excitedly. During the last competition in Hangzhou, he was also one of them waiting for Gu Zheng outside. Many of the rules of the Hangzhou Food Competition were learned from the Chinese Food Competition. Before
The results of the three exams will not be announced.
At that time, they were praying that Gu Zheng's name would not be included in the announced results.
It's the same this time. More than 900 people are praying there, hoping that they won't see Gu Zheng's name soon. Only those without names will be promoted.
The Chinese Food Competition is a little different from the Hangzhou Food Competition. It is not a live broadcast and there is no host, so the results are released directly from the big screen and synchronized online.
In the Chinese Cuisine Competition, no one announces the results for the top ten, only the top three.
"Come out, come out!"
The results finally came out. There was an uproar outside and inside, and there were many people who had been waiting and refreshing the website.
The top ten, fourth to tenth names are arranged in a row, and the first three are blank. After each person's name are their three game scores and total score, all results are clear at a glance.
"There is no ancient contention, no ancient contention!"
Gu Zheng's supporters didn't care about their results. They only glanced at Gu Zheng and didn't see Gu Zheng's name, and then they all shouted excitedly. Just like in Hangcheng, Gu Zheng did not disappoint them and advanced again.
This is a Chinese food competition. Advancement means the top three, or at worst, third place. Even if Gu Zheng's results stop here, they are very satisfied, extremely satisfied.
Gu Zheng is only a young man, in his early twenties. He has achieved such results at his age. When he reaches his golden age and glory period, his achievements will be even better and more prominent.
After the list comes out, the top three players are also made public. The names of those who do not appear in the top ten list are the top three of this session.
Among the top ten, three names did not appear, namely Gu Zheng, Song Xiu and Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan is a well-known local chef in the capital. He is thirty-nine years old. He is usually a quiet person. No one expected that he would advance to the top three this time. Lu Yong, who was previously the favorite to win the championship and the top three favorite, was eliminated.
After that, I didn't even get fourth place, I only got fifth place.
Fifth place, for a disciple of a family like Lu Yong who has been in the family for hundreds of years, is actually a failure. I don't know if he was affected by losing to Song Bai.
After the list was announced, many people were talking about it. The person who talked the most was not Gu Zheng or Song Xiu, but Chu Yuan.
This is Chu Yuan's first time to participate in the Chinese Food Competition. He has been working in a famous traditional restaurant before. He is the chef there and his salary is average. He has several special dishes that are popular among many people.
However, there are too many such chefs in the country. No one expected that Chu Yuan would achieve such good results this time. He participated in the Chinese Cuisine Competition for the first time and reached the top three for the first time.
At this point, someone mentioned again that the top three this time are all newcomers.
Hearing this, many people were stunned for a moment. After looking at it carefully, they found that it was indeed the case. Gu Zheng participated in the Chinese Food Competition for the first time. No one knew about him before Song Xiu, and so did Chu Yuan. This Chinese Food Competition
It’s really weird, the top three are all newcomers participating for the first time.
In fact, even if Lu Yong enters the top three, this will not change. Although Lu Yong is very famous, he is also a newcomer in the Chinese Food Competition.
Not only that, someone looked at the top ten list and was surprised to find that among the top ten, there were actually five newcomers participating in the Chinese Food Competition for the first time. In other words, half of the top ten were first timers.
There has never been such a proportion of newcomers participating in the competition before.
Someone else discovered that this time the top three people all had two characters in their names.
Gu Zheng, Song Xiu, and Chu Yuan do not have three-character names, and the other two newcomers in the top ten still have two-character names. Among the top ten, there are only three names with three characters.
This made some people joke that they would change their names to two words in the future, maybe they could achieve better results.
Of course this is just a joke, but this Chinese Food Competition does have many records that were not seen in previous years, which made many people sigh.
As soon as the results were announced, some were happy, while others sighed.
Lu Yong was the one who sighed. He knew that this Chinese food competition was actually more difficult than before, but he never expected that he only got fifth place. Such a result would be embarrassing when he went home.
Whenever members of their family come to compete, they are basically among the top three.
He knew his own situation well. He was indeed affected by his loss to Song Bai, especially when he lost to Song Bai the day before and said that Song Bai could win the championship. However, Song Bai lost the next day to a man named Gu Zheng.
young people.
This made him feel very uncomfortable. First of all, it indirectly proved that he was not as good as Gu Zheng. Song Bai cheated, but what he added was not a prohibited item. He took it out openly and could still use it to participate in this competition.
Food competition is one of his strengths.
The reason why he cheated was because he had previously promised that he would use whatever ingredients others would use. However, he secretly added some ingredients, so he was not accepted by others.
Moreover, in the match between him and Gu Zheng, things were also added, but he still lost in the end. This result made Lu Yong somewhat unacceptable.
Affected by this, he didn't perform very well in the first game, but he was still able to advance despite his poor performance. However, his score affected his subsequent overall results, and he only got fifth place in the end.
In the Chinese Cuisine Competition, the results of each competition are very important, because the final total results are superimposed, so no competition can be ignored unless you only want to participate and not advance.
But if you do too poorly and your results are too poor, it will be difficult for you to compete again in the future.
At the end of the game, the fourth to tenth players went to the rest area to rest and watch the final game. An hour later, the top three players will compete in the finals. This game will determine who is first and who is third.
.
Those who can be in the top three don't want to be in the last place, they all want to be first.
There is only a two-person gap between first and third place, but the treatment and influence in the future are very different. You only need to watch the Olympic Games to know this. The treatment of gold medals and bronze medals is absolutely different.
It’s not just the food competition, the Olympics, it’s the same in all walks of life.
We like to pay attention to various data, but basically we only look at the number one. Who is number one in the movie box office, who is number one in the ratings, and who is number one in the game rankings.
The real winner is the first one, otherwise we will all be with the runners.
An hour passed quickly, and the three contestants re-entered the cubicle, preparing to cook the last dish of the competition.
What Gu Zheng wants to do is fish-flavored honey chicken that he has never made before. Qi Ling chose it for him. Fish-flavored honey chicken. Gu Zheng has never made fish-flavored honey chicken, but he has done honey chicken before. Moreover, Tiexian
The cooking skills are imprinted in his mind. As long as he remembers, step by step, and does it seriously, he will be fine.
"Gu Zheng, that guy doesn't just have three medium ingredients. In addition to three medium ingredients, he also has one excellent grade ingredient!"
Qi Ling suddenly said something to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng was slightly startled and turned back sharply.
Song Xiu not only has three medium ingredients, but also has excellent ingredients. In this case, Song Xiu is no less than him in terms of ingredients.
"Why is this? Didn't you say before that he only has three medium-level ingredients?"
Gu Zheng asked quickly. This unexpected information shocked Gu Zheng. He had long understood the importance of ingredients, and he also knew that Song Xiu's performance before was extraordinary. If he fell behind him in terms of ingredients, could he win this game?
The competition is really unknown.
"I only got a clue before, and I didn't say that he only had three medium-level ingredients. But don't worry, he has one excellent item and three medium-level ingredients. You are the same, and you are not inferior to him. You also have immortal power.
, and Tie Xian’s cooking skills can also win!”
After all, it was not the news that Qi Ling had detected before, but the clues he got after putting Gu Zheng to the test.
The clues are true, but they are not necessarily complete. Some parts are missing. The real situation is that Song Xiu has one excellent grade ingredient, three medium grade ingredients, and a few ordinary grade ingredients to complement them.
"Okay, I know, I will work hard!"
Gu Zheng said secretly in his heart, and became more energetic. Fortunately, he had swallowed an Immortal Yuan Pill yesterday, and now his immortal power is enough to support him. It seems that he is really going to fight this time.
Gu Zheng took out all the things he wanted to make, including chicken, fish, and honey.
The food this time used the most ingredients for Gu Zheng, and the lowest level was ordinary, while the highest level was excellent. Even Gu Zheng himself had never tasted the delicacies made from the excellent ingredients.
At this moment, he was very lucky. Fortunately, he called Ouyang Hai. Fortunately, Ouyang Hai had high-quality ingredients.
If this were not the case, relying on his only medium-level ingredient Ocean Flower, even with Tie Xian's cooking skills, I am afraid that he would not be able to defeat Song Xiu who surpassed him in ingredients by a lot. Not only would he not be able to take first place, but he would also fail the test.
.
Song Xiu also took out all his ingredients.
Seeing the ingredients he took out, Gu Zheng's eyes tightened slightly, and he immediately shouted in his heart: "Qi Ling, didn't you say that the current earth's environment cannot grow ingredients above the medium level?"
Song Xiu was finally different from before this time. This time he was no longer cooking popular dishes. This time he actually took out a few bugs, and they were all live bugs, but they were not bean bugs or eating bugs like locusts, but
A very strange, but not ugly looking insect.
This kind of bug is very big and squirms slightly. Just looking at this bug, Gu Zheng can understand that this is definitely not an ordinary-level ingredient, it is at least a medium-level ingredient.
"The environment of your earth is indeed like this. As for why he has fresh and medium-sized ingredients, I don't know. Maybe they have their own way!"
Qi Ling doesn't understand what's going on, but the other party comes from the Kunlun Sect, the largest sect, and is not an ordinary place. Things that don't exist in other places may not exist there. After all, this is the era of prosperity, and it has always been there.
There are sects of existence.
“Happy bugs, great taste, average ingredients!”
Qi Ling gave Gu Zheng an appraisal, and Gu Zheng rolled his eyes. It was indeed a medium ingredient. Although some people don't like eating bugs, this will not happen among the judges. The judges are all gourmets, let alone bugs.
Now, I've eaten weirder things.
As long as it is not something that is clearly forbidden or harmful to their health, they will eat it.
The main ingredients were medium-sized, and Qi Ling also gave an appraisal of the excellent taste. Gu Zheng's sense of crisis continued to rise. The three-day competition let him know that Song Xiu's cooking skills were not bad, although they were not as good as his.
Tie Xian's cooking skills are great, but if he really has the best ingredients to help him, he may not be able to beat him.
"His bugs, are they safe?"
In the rest area, Lu Yong suddenly asked. Generally speaking, the ingredients that can be used for competitions are safe. If any are found to be unsafe, it will not be as simple as canceling the results of the competition. No one will use this kind of food.
Things will affect your future.
However, bugs are special after all, and they are bugs that no one has ever seen before. It is not an exaggeration to raise such doubts.
"Don't worry about this, we have done the appraisal in advance and it is completely qualified!"
Someone in the audience suddenly said something, and many people were stunned when they saw this person. He was not from the food industry, but he was from the officialdom, and he was also a leader of the food safety supervision department.
Once he said this, no one dared to question it.
Although this person is not a superior department of the Food Association, after all, he has a deep relationship with the food industry, and ordinary people would not dare to offend him easily.
Gu Zheng didn't care about this. For a medium ingredient, there would be absolutely no problem with safety. If there were any problems, it would be impossible to reach the medium level.
The main ingredient of Song Xiu is this living joy insect, and the auxiliary ingredients are Tang, which he has used before. This candy is neither white nor red, it is orange, and it is in lumps. I don’t know how Kunlun made such candy.
But sugar is not bad after all. It is not surprising that Kunlun has a way to store thousands of years of ancient contention. Not to mention Kunlun, even Emei has a way to preserve such ingredients. It is this living insect that really makes him unable to understand. This is alive
Yes, and this insect cannot live for thousands of years.
Chu Yuan on the side took out his own ingredients. The last thing he wanted to make was another one of his specialty dishes.
He is the best at what he does. He has done it before in the competition. Even he did not expect that he would be in the top three this time. Although he, like other chefs, prepared the second ingredient, he really did not expect it.
You can use it yourself.
As a result, he was inherently deficient in preparation and could not compare with Gu Zheng and Song Xiu.
But now that he is in the top three, he has to fight no matter what. Maybe his miracle can continue to happen, and he will really surprise everyone and get the first place.
Of course, this was just what he thought. Both Gu Zheng and Song Xiu knew that it was absolutely impossible for him that his ingredients were actually inferior. In terms of ingredients alone, the two of them were a few steps ahead of him.
Unless he is a Tie Xian, he can use such ingredients to make better delicacies, otherwise he will lose.
Gu Zheng and Song Xiu didn't pay attention to him at all. Gu Zheng also took out his own ingredients, fish, chicken, and honey were all of ordinary level. Song Xiu's eyes quickly fell on the black fruit that Gu Zheng took out, and other
On top of some ingredients.
The black fruit made him instinctively feel extraordinary.
He has no weapon spirit to assist him and cannot identify the ingredients, but he has his own intuition. Song Xiu is actually the best chef in Kunlun. Song Bai is just his younger brother, a young man who likes to make things and is very talented.
If Song Bai hadn't come up with the idea to practice and participate in the Chinese Cuisine Competition, he wouldn't have shown up at all.
Song Bai lost, so he went back and told him, asking him to help him get revenge. Then he came out to participate in this competition.
Song Xiu's strength is also good, and he is a core disciple of Kunlun. Although the food he makes is delicious, the mainstream in Kunlun is cultivation. His cooking skills are not valued in Kunlun. If it weren't for a few elders and the Supreme Elder who like to eat
I'm afraid that when he makes something, he doesn't practice his cooking skills, but practices it properly.
It was not easy to bring out so many good ingredients this time. It was because he usually ate too much food. The Supreme Elder could not refuse, but he also told him that he would not do the same next time.
These ingredients are all he can bring out.
It's not that Kunlun doesn't have any, but that there are some ingredients that he is not allowed to bring outside to participate in a small competition in the secular world.
And after coming out, he didn't expect that the cultivator named Gu Zheng, who beat his brother, was so good at cooking. He was different from Gu Zheng. He had already found out their scores through connections. Kunlun was very good in the secular world.
With great energy, it is not difficult to do such a thing.
Gu Zheng's scores in the first two games were actually the same as his.
He brought good ingredients, used fairy kitchen utensils, and tried his best, but he still didn't win the ancient battle.
Another point is that although he does not have a weapon spirit, he has his own way of identifying ingredients. He has seen the ingredients used in Gu Zheng before. Although they are all good, he can be sure that they are not particularly good or have his finishing touch.
The ingredients of the pen.
Medium ingredients are regarded as the finishing touch by him.
But even so, Gu Zheng still scored the same as him, which shows that Gu Zheng's cooking skills are really not bad, and he has even surpassed him in cooking skills.
In fact, Kunlun could have influenced the judges to give him higher scores, but he did not do so. If he did, it would lose the meaning of coming to compete.
After knowing the strength of the first two games, he decided to take out all the good ingredients he brought this time and make it for real, so he had these things that Gu Zheng saw.
On Gu Zheng's side, after taking out the things, he took a deep breath.
"Gu Zheng, you can try to integrate the Yin and Yang principles into your cooking!"
The weapon spirit suddenly said something, even if the weapon spirit has many treasures and even countless high-grade ingredients, it cannot directly use them to help Gu Zheng. This is the restriction imposed by Tiexian.
Unable to directly use ingredients to help, Qi Ling was thinking of other ways. Although Song Xiu's happy insects were only average, they were ingredients with a very good taste. They existed in the ancient times and many people liked to eat them. They were expensive.
When it comes to making gourmet food, in fact, happy insects are not inferior to some high-quality ingredients. There are high-quality fruits in Guzheng, but they are not special ingredients.
As a result, Guzheng is actually at a disadvantage when it comes to ingredients, and it's a big disadvantage.
The higher the grade of ingredients, the greater the taste difference. Excellent grade ingredients, even without any cooking, taste better than ordinary grade ingredients. This is the difference in ingredients.
