Gu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly. After understanding the Tao of Yin and Yang, in fact, he has never been able to better integrate into the cooking skills. He has always used Tiexian's cooking skills directly.
Before, Tie Xian's cooking skills were enough for him.
If it were a normal Chinese food competition, these would indeed be enough. Without Ouyang Hai coming and his ingredients, Gu Zheng would be able to win this competition, but this time there is one more Song Xiu and one more.
The cultivator chef is a chef who also has many high-quality ingredients and is even better than him in terms of ingredients.
This chef's cooking skills are not bad, and he is assisted by magical kitchen utensils. If he doesn't work out a little, Gu Zheng really has no confidence that he can beat him.
"I understand, thank you Qi Ling!"
The way of yin and yang, the ancient struggle was first discovered in Wang Dong and his cooking skills.
Later, Gu Zheng used the Yin and Yang Pill to understand the Tao of Yin and Yang, but he never integrated it with cooking skills. He only used the Tao of Yin and Yang when making wine and successfully brewed fairy wine.
Gu Zheng himself doesn't know what the fusion of yin and yang and cooking will look like.
But one thing Gu Zheng is sure of is that after Tiexian's cooking skills are integrated with the Tao of Yin and Yang, the taste of food will definitely be enhanced. To what extent it can be enhanced, Gu Zheng is not clear.
The ingredients for both of them have been placed, and many people's eyes are on the two of them.
Of the three contestants, Chu Yuan has the least attention. In fact, many people who understand can see that the final champion will be between Gu Zheng and Song Xiu. Chu Yuan is just a character who accompanies the prince to study. He is a dark horse.
It won't be dark anymore.
Especially President Gou and the others, because they know everyone's scores and know that it is almost impossible for Chu Yuan to surpass the two of them, and their scores have been stretched.
Even if these two people make something ordinary, as long as they are not too bad, Chu Yuan will not be able to win.
In comparison between Song Xiu and Gu Zheng, the food made by Gu Zheng seems to be quite satisfactory. After all, his ingredients include chicken and fish. It seems to be food related to fish.
Many people were thinking this, but they soon opened their mouths.
"Why did he cook chicken and fish in the same pot?"
"It's hard to control the taste. Many masters have tried to blend the two, but many have failed!"
"That is, is Gu Zheng in a hurry and wants to find another shortcut?"
Many people were talking there. There was no live broadcast, only people inside the venue could see it, and only they were guessing. People outside were waiting quietly.
"I have met Gu Zheng twice, and he gave me the impression that he is not a reckless person!"
President Gou shook his head slightly. He had indeed seen Gu Zheng twice. The first time was Gu Zheng's tasting party. Mr. Gao invited them to come. Previously, the Food Association owed Gu Zheng a favor, so he had to go.
But after going there, he found that he had gone to the right place and was not disappointed. Gu Zheng's cooking skills were really strong and even he was conquered.
The second time was in Song Bai's arena. Gu Zheng went to compete. He was very impressed by that day. Gu Zheng's performance was extremely calm from beginning to end. Even though Song Bai cheated, he still won the cheating Song Bai in the end, and also won
exposed his trick.
Gu Zheng's stability was his most profound memory.
"But why did he do this? It's too risky!" someone next to President Gou said.
"Perhaps he is fully confident that the flavors of the two can blend together!"
President Gou said lightly. At this moment, he suddenly regretted not being a judge. Only judges can taste the food made by Gu Zheng. Otherwise, even if he is the president of the Food Association, he would not be able to taste it.
He could ask Gu Zheng to cook it again after the game, but he would definitely not be able to eat it on the spot today.
Gu Zheng's chicken and fish have been stewed together. On Song Xiu's side, he has killed several bugs. The sandworm's method is very simple. The internal force directly breaks the brains of the bugs, and the bugs suddenly become quiet.
His method of cooking insects is also very unique. He does not fry or fry them, but boils them.
Through Qi Ling, Gu Zheng learned that the skin of the joy bug is actually very thick, and the most delicious part is the meat inside. Direct frying is not as effective as boiling. The cooked meat is the tenderest, and it easily blends with the taste of other ingredients.
blend.
Song Xiu started to put other ingredients into the pot, and the first thing he put in was medium-grade sugar.
With medium ingredients as main ingredients, medium ingredients as auxiliary ingredients, and high-quality ingredients as auxiliary ingredients, it is impossible for ordinary people to defeat him with such delicacies. Fortunately, Gu Zheng's side is not unable to deal with it.
Gu Zheng's chicken and fish were slowly boiling in the pot. Gradually, Gu Zheng closed his eyes.
With his eyes closed, Gu Zheng always held the handle of the pot with his hand, and the power of Yin and Yang came from his palm.
The pot is closed. If anyone could see what was going on in the pot, their eyes would definitely widen. The chickens and fish in the pot were slowly rotating around the pot, and there was a curved line between them. Gradually,
, the fish turned white, and the chicken turned black.
The soup in the pot is like a Tai Chi diagram.
Song Xiu suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Zheng, who had his eyes closed. He didn't know what Gu Zheng was doing, but he noticed the difference between Gu Zheng and Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was a little different from before. Gu Zheng was a cultivator, and it gave Song Xiu the feeling of showing off his sharp edge. But now, if he hadn't deliberately looked at Gu Zheng, he wouldn't have discovered the existence of Gu Zheng at all.
Like an inconspicuous roadside stone, people don't even notice it.
Song Xiu didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but one thing he was sure of was that the other party must have used methods unknown to him to improve his cooking skills.
After watching the ancient battle, Song Xiu added his second ingredient, a hay-like item, which was also a medium-level ingredient.
After adding it, Song Xiu also closed his eyes and used his inner strength to control the fairy kitchen utensils with peace of mind.
No matter what Gu Zheng does, he just needs to be himself and make food that satisfies him the most. In this way, even if he loses, he will lose without regrets.
"Why did these two people close their eyes?"
Many people were saying with surprise, Gu Zheng and Song Xiu were boiling soup in the pot with their eyes closed, but Chu Yuan, on the other hand, was sweating from the work.
Two stillnesses and one movement are very obvious.
Because Gu Zheng has been integrated into the Tao of Yin and Yang, the number of people paying attention to him has gradually decreased. Most of them are looking at Song Xiu. Even the judges are the same. They are basically paying attention to Song Xiu.
An hour passed by in a hurry.
No matter it was Gu Zheng or Song Xiu, neither of them moved. Most of the food they cooked before was finished within an hour, but this time it took more than an hour for both of them.
Chu Yuan was still busy, and his progress was obvious, unlike Gu Zheng and Song Xiu, who didn't move at all.
Ten minutes later, Gu Zheng made the first move. He took the chicken out of the pot, and the fish had disappeared. The whole fish had been melted and completely integrated into the chicken. This was fish-flavored chicken.
The color of the fairy chicken was originally white, but when it was taken out, it turned into red and white.
The fish-flavored honey chicken needs to be put in honey. Unfortunately, the lightning bees did not collect medium-level honey. Otherwise, Gu Zheng would be more confident in this competition.
Gu Zheng spread the honey evenly on the chicken and put it back into the pot, this time steaming it.
At the same time, Gu Zheng stuffed other materials into the chicken's belly, and the high-grade golden congo had been ground into powder by Gu Zheng, stuck together with honey, and smeared it all on the chicken's body.
All the materials that can be added have been added to Guzheng.
The honey-glazed chicken was steamed in the pot for fifteen minutes. Gu Zheng opened the lid of the pot, and a burst of sweetness rushed out. Song Xiu frowned fiercely.
Chu Yuan, who was on the side, stayed there completely.
Not only him, but many people around him who smelled the fragrance also looked dazed. The fragrance reached their brains. Everyone seemed to be in a garden, playing happily in the garden, surrounded by colorful flowers.
of floral fragrance.
"my type!"
Chu Yuan suddenly screamed. He was participating in a competition. The consequences of losing concentration would be very serious. His food was almost ready, so the impact of losing concentration would not be big.
Everyone was stunned, including the judges, who were all conquered by this fragrance.
"Not bad, it finally looks good!"
Qi Ling said with great satisfaction that the food Gu Zheng now makes can really be seen by it, but it can only be seen. Compared with real delicacies, it is still far behind.
Today's Guzheng looks a bit like an Immortal Chef, at least it has an image. If it doesn't meet the standards of an Immortal Chef, Qi Ling is really too lazy to look at it.
The Immortal Chef also makes delicacies from the Immortal Realm, which are provided to immortal cultivators. Ordinary people will be affected by just smelling them, let alone eating them. Fortunately, what Gu Zheng made did not meet the standards of real Immortal Realm delicacies.
, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to eat it.
The steamed fish-flavored honey chicken was brought out entirely by Gu Zheng.
The aroma of fish-flavored honey chicken can affect people's consciousness, but fortunately, the aroma does not spread far like chicken blood soup. If it really did, it would be a big trouble, and there would be a lot of traffic on the street.
ACCIDENT.
Looking at the honey chicken in front of the judges, many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
This is the real delicacy. When you smell it, it makes people feel extremely comfortable. It's a pity that they can't eat it. There are really a lot of people who are envious and jealous of the judges. Fortunately, no one loses their mind, otherwise these judges
They would be miserable.
“Please let the judges taste it and comment!”
After Gu Zheng sent it to him, he said softly that this was the first delicious food he had made by integrating the Yin and Yang Tao. Even he himself didn't know what the result would be if Tie Xian's cooking skills were combined with the Yin and Yang Tao.
.
The staff helped separate the fish-flavored honey chicken, and each judge had a small piece of chicken.
One of the judges put the chicken in front of him into his mouth and chewed it gently. After chewing a few mouthfuls, he stayed there again. After a while, tears suddenly flowed down, and soon his face was filled with tears.
He was not the only one, the other judges who had eaten the food made by Gu Zheng soon all started crying like him.
One judge was even more serious. He just lay there and cried loudly. The staff were so frightened that they came over to ask what happened to him.
The judge waved his hand again to indicate that he was fine, and then the staff left in confusion.
Twenty judges, all those who ate the Guzheng Fish Flavored Honey Chicken were in tears, leaving everyone around stunned. It is not that there have been judges who shed tears after eating contestants' delicacies before, but it is very rare.
In some cases, unlike this time, all the judges were crying and shedding tears.
Some people are still wondering, could it be that Gu Zheng put a lot of onions next to the chicken?
But no one saw that the ingredients prepared by Gu Zheng included onions, or other ingredients with the same properties as onions. He added them in, and why did the judges cry like this?
"After eating the delicacies made by Master Gu today, I feel that I will die without regrets!"
One of the judges suddenly said something, and the other judges nodded in agreement. The staff hurriedly came forward to remind them that the judges of the food competition did not comment when they were eating, but had to wait until the end to make unified comments.
What he said was tantamount to breaking the rules.
The judges were no longer talking, and Song Xiu's delicacies were now ready. The original insect-like appearance was no longer visible. What was served were small pieces, like pastries.
Song Xiu's food did not bring out that pungent aroma.
The food he made was not ugly and looked very appetizing, but the twenty judges had just eaten the food made by Gu Zheng, and they were still reminiscing about it and didn't want to eat anything else.
"I'm glad I became a judge, but I regret it very much!"
One of the judges said that whether he wanted to or not, he had to taste the delicious food in front of him. This was his job and his responsibility.
The other judges all agreed with his words. They were glad to be judges because only judges can eat the kind of delicious food Gu Zheng made just now. It can no longer be evaluated by delicious food. It is the real thing that only exists in heaven and only in heaven.
Immortal delicacies that only immortals can eat.
Regret is also due to their status as judges, which forces them to continue eating and eat other things, which affects their aftertaste.
One of the judges picked up the delicate pastry-like thing after rinsing his mouth several times, and couldn't help but frown.
Before eating, he thought of the insects again and couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
Fortunately, the food he made didn't look like insects in the end, otherwise he really didn't know if he could still eat it in his current condition.
After taking a small bite, the judge immediately stayed there again.
Not just him, but the other twenty judges were all the same. As long as they had taken a bite, they were all in a daze.
They seemed to have entered an illusion again. This time they were not among flowers, but seemed to be in a warm and comfortable cocoon. They closed their eyes and enjoyed the tranquility around them in great comfort.
This is an indescribable and unknown feeling.
This feeling makes them unwilling to open their eyes or think about anything. They just want to stay quietly like this. This is a kind of comfort that comes from the soul and makes them want to stop.
One minute, two minutes.
Many judges did not move, which surprised the people around them. It was not until three minutes later that a staff member carefully walked over at President Gou's signal.
The staff member Yan just reminded one of the judges, and the judge suddenly burst into tears again and started sobbing.
Not only him, but the other judges were also like this. Some of them were crying and lying on the table, their bodies were wet.
"What, what's going on?"
Everyone was extremely surprised. They were like this after eating Gu Zheng's food before. Now after tasting Song Xiu's food, they are still like this?
Could it be possible that both of them put something with the properties of onions in it? If this is the case, then the joke will be really big this time. Two of the top three specially made things that will make the judges cry after eating them. It is simply
Trick people.
However, this possibility is really unlikely. Moreover, after the judges cried before, they all looked moved and no one protested.
If Gu Zheng had really added something to make people cry, some of the judges would have thrown the table, and that would be considered a form of teasing.
And now, the judges are crying and eating at the same time. Nothing Song Xiu made was wasted, he ate everything. If you want to punish people, they are stupid to eat like this.
"I never expected that there would be a second such magical wine!"
"Yes, it's worth it to be able to eat such delicious food!"
"But between these two, who is good and who is bad, and how to tell the difference?"
"I feel that Gu Zheng's is better, his feelings are more sincere, and Song Xiu's is also very, very good, but if the two are really compared together, I will vote for Gu Zheng!"
"I also think Gu Zheng is better!"
"I think Song Xiu's is better, but both of them are perfect, I can't find any shortcomings in them!"
The judges were all discussing in a low voice. How to score has become their biggest problem. Both kinds of food are so perfect, and they don't want to lose any points for each food.
"I give ten points, ten points to everyone!" One of the judges said suddenly and appraisingly.
"I want ten points too!"
"Me too!"
"Attention, this is a violation of the law. No matter how many points you want to score, you have to score it yourself, and you can't speak out!"
Ten points, full points. It is true that no one has received ten points in the history of the Chinese Cuisine Competition, but very rarely. It is an extremely rare phenomenon, and there is no more than one judge at a time. Unlike this time, several judges have spoken out.
To put it bluntly, it's a violation, but the judges seemed to have violated it a lot today.
"Judges, please taste the food I made, thank you!"
The food of the last contestant, Chu Yuan, was also prepared and served. The judges looked at each other and felt the same as before, but whether they wanted to or not, they had to eat and taste it.
"Nonsence"
After one of the judges rinsed his mouth, he spat it out as soon as he bit into it. Chu Yuan hadn't gone far yet and was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
Is the food he made so delicious that it made the judges vomit?
"Sorry, sorry!"
The judges also knew that their behavior was a bit excessive, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "I have just eaten two delicacies that are not of this world. I am still covered with the aftertaste of delicacies. To suddenly eat such an ordinary food, I instinctively
Can't stand it.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
It is like a person who has been eating hard and bitter steamed buns and suddenly eats two white flour steamed buns and braised pork. If he goes back to eat steamed buns again, he will feel very uncomfortable.
The other judges also began to taste Chu Yuan's delicacies, and soon, many judges frowned.
Although the reaction was not as big as this judge's reaction, and he vomited it out directly, his face was not pretty either. Without comparison, there is no harm. I had just eaten two delicious delicacies, and now I have exchanged them for such an ordinary thing. It's strange that I can get used to it.
.
In fact, Chu Yuan's cooking is not bad. He is a famous chef after all. But compared with the previous two, he is far, far behind. He is not on the same level of food at all.
The scores of the three people were quickly completed, the judges left the stage, and then it was time to announce the results.
It took half an hour to summarize. Everyone, inside and outside, was looking forward to it. Backstage, President Gou and the others were completely stunned.
All the results of the three people and four games were placed in front of them.
Fortunately for Chu Yuan, he performed very well in the front, so he took third place. However, the results of Gu Zheng and Song Xiu were so shocking no matter how you look at them, especially the results in the last game.
In the ancient competition, the first game scored 9.93 points, the second game scored 9.95 points, the third game scored 9.98 points, and the fourth game scored 10 points.
Four games, the lowest is 9.93, the highest is ten points, the perfect score is ten points.
Being able to get ten points means that all the judges' scores are ten points, or there are at least nineteen ten points. In this way, after removing the lowest score, such a result is obtained.
This has never happened in previous games.
Not to mention ten points, even the lowest score of 9.93 is an extremely high score in previous games, and it is also the highest record. Only two people have scored such a score in a single game, but now, it has become the lowest.
It's just an ancient battle, so forget it, Song Xiu's results are just as eye-catching.
The first game, 9.93 points, the second game, 9.95 points, the third game, 9.97 points, the fourth game, 10 points.
Another ten points, another minimum score of 9.93. Normally, any one of these scores would be shocking enough, but here there are actually two, and they appear at once.
When looking at Chu Yuan's results, they suddenly became much inferior.
Chu Yuan scored 9.77 points in the first game, 9.83 points in the second game, 9.81 points in the third game, and 8.1 points in the fourth game.
A finalist actually didn't even score 9 points in the last game. You know, these are all famous chefs in the country. Even the more than 200 people who were eliminated in the first game had a minimum score of more than 8 points.
.
Chu Yuan's 8.1 points was the lowest score in the entire competition.
In the final, the lowest score of the whole competition was achieved, which was abnormal in itself. President Gou and the others were in a daze, not knowing how to announce the results.
Chu Yuan was also unlucky. When he was cooking, the judges happened to eat two delicacies that they had never experienced before. At this time, he gave it to the judges. Under such a serious influence, it was already very good to get eight points.
If he sent it first, it would definitely not be like this, at least it would be a high score of 9.7 or above.
"President Gou, what should I do? If these scores are announced, it will cause an uproar!"
A staff member quickly asked, "They couldn't believe this result. They had a premonition that something was going to happen."
"What did the judges say?" President Gou asked.
"The judges swear that they gave real scores that are worthy of their conscience!"
A staff member whispered that the judges are currently in isolation and are not allowed to have contact with the outside world. This state will not be lifted until the competition results are fully announced.
"Initiate emergency measures!"
President Gou suddenly stood up and said something directly. The others were stunned for a moment and looked at him in disbelief.
