Second-rate ingredients are not that easy to find. Fortunately, I have accumulated a lot of experience in finding inferior ingredients before the ancient war. I know how to find them and can avoid detours.
Gu Zheng accepted the challenge and made duck blood vermicelli soup. The main ingredients are duck and vermicelli. The ducks raised are basically garbage grade, and even contain toxic ingredients. Very few poultry raised can reach low grade, while those raised in free range are
Most of them are low-level, and a few are rubbish, but the second-rate ones are hard to come by. It all depends on luck.
It is not easy for any food material to be second-class. The food grade classification in the fairy world is very strict. Take ducks as an example. As long as a free-range duck eats feed, even if it only eats it once, its grade can only be low-grade at most.
It is impossible to achieve inferiority.
Don't look at the word "sub-class", this is the classification of the fairy world. On the earth, being "low-class" is already a very good thing. It can be seen from the few inferior ingredients found through ancient disputes, whether they are from the Alps
Ice spring mineral water, Peruvian seaweed salt, or Fujian Jiangyou are basically the best and top-notch products of their kind.
The second level of the fairy world is almost equal to the top level of the earth, so if you want to find such ducks, you can't go to the market or even the breeding farm. There is some hope in going to the mountains or farmers.
In addition to duck, the other main ingredient is vermicelli.
It is best to use sweet potato flour for vermicelli. The vermicelli in that store is very good, but it is a low-grade ingredient. Without the bonus points for vermicelli, Gu Zheng would not even give them 50 points.
If Gu Zheng wants to do better than them, fans will have to use second-class fans with a higher level than them. Low-grade fans are fine. After all, sweet potatoes are underground. As long as pesticides do not seep into the ground, chemical fertilizers are not used, or the amount of chemical fertilizers is very small.
There are few and low-quality sweet potatoes are still easy to grow.
Low-quality sweet potatoes and low-quality groundwater can be used to cook vermicelli with low-quality ingredients.
But it is difficult to make the fans reach second-class. First of all, no pesticides and fertilizers can be used in the place where sweet potatoes are grown. Just like ducks, once these raw materials are used, it is impossible for the sweet potatoes to reach second-class. The highest level is low-grade.
There is only one level difference between low-level and inferior, but it is difficult to get over it, especially in the current environment.
After Gu Zheng carefully planned, the first ingredient he looked for was vermicelli.
To be precise, what he is looking for is the raw materials for making vermicelli. He knows that there is a green base near Hangzhou. But strictly speaking, it is not a base at all, but a scientific research center, which studies the improvement and improvement of some crops.
, the land there does not use any chemical fertilizers, and no pesticides are used. Gu Zheng’s father has an old friend who works there, he is the deputy director, and they have a good relationship. Gu Zheng has been there several times before.
After he went out in the morning, he went straight here.
The scale of the base is not large, but the management is very strict. Things here are not sold to the outside world. If it weren't for Gu Zheng's connection here, he wouldn't even be able to get in. There are six security guards guarding the gate, and there are a lot of people around.
It's all a wall with cables. People who don't know it might think it's some kind of prison.
Gu Zheng originally just wanted to come here to see if there were low-grade sweet potatoes here. Even if there were no low-grade sweet potatoes here, there would definitely be low-grade sweet potatoes. He could take some low-quality sweet potatoes back and enter the prehistoric space to upgrade to the second grade, but there was no such thing.
Thinking of it, he was actually given a big surprise when he came here.
There is a piece of land here, and the quality of the sweet potatoes grown here is of second-class quality. Not only the sweet potatoes, but also green onions, ginger, pepper, and other auxiliary ingredients are grown here, all of which are of second-class quality, which means that Gu Zheng can find all the ingredients at once.
This is indeed a big surprise.
The deputy director and Gu Zheng's father had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship. Gu Zheng's father had helped him a little back then. When Gu Zheng said he just wanted some sweet potatoes, onions and ginger, he waved his hand and someone was there immediately.
I prepared a bag for Gu Zheng, which contained twenty-five kilograms of sweet potatoes alone. If he hadn't been worried that Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to carry it, there would have been twice as many sweet potatoes.
A snakeskin bag weighs thirty kilograms of sweet potatoes and other ingredients. In the past, it would have been very tiring to carry it by myself. But now that Xianli has improved his physical condition, it is much easier to carry it.
Twenty-five pounds of sweet potatoes may seem like a lot, but there may not be many fans.
To make vermicelli from sweet potatoes, you must first turn the sweet potatoes into sweet potato flour. Only four to six kilograms of sweet potatoes can produce one kilogram of sweet potato flour. In order not to affect the quality of the sweet potato flour, Gu Zheng does not plan to use machines to grind it, but uses primitive methods to grind it.
, such output will be even lower.
One pound of sweet potato flour can only cook about seven taels of vermicelli. If you calculate it this way, you can actually get less than three pounds of vermicelli from twenty-five pounds of sweet potatoes, which is not a lot.
Nowadays, there are many cheap sweet potato vermicelli on the market, ranging from six yuan, five yuan, or even two or three yuan. These low-priced pure sweet potato vermicelli are 100% fake. The cost of pure sweet potato vermicelli is more than this. Basically, they are all fake.
It is made from starch and sold as sweet potato vermicelli.
After finding so many raw materials at once, Gu Zheng felt a lot more relaxed. With the sweet potato powder and other ingredients, even if he couldn't find a low-quality duck, he only needed to buy a low-quality duck and enter the prehistoric space to improve it.
But, this is equivalent to having a full set of inferior ingredients.
With these ingredients, this challenge means that Gu Zheng is already invincible. The gap in ingredients is so big that ordinary cooking skills cannot make up for it, not to mention that Gu Zheng's own cooking skills are not bad.
Another day has passed, and this topic on the website has become more and more popular, with more than 100,000 followers. It is the most popular topic recently, and may even be the most watched topic on the Food Channel this year.
The gap in the voting has gradually widened, and the number of people supporting Gu Zheng has decreased. The proportion of people who think he can win is now only 30%, while the support for the head chef has increased to 70%.
In the beginning, Gu Zheng had such a high support rate because he had a lot of die-hard fans at that time. However, those were the only die-hard fans of Gu Zheng. Later, attention increased, attracting many readers who did not know Gu Zheng. These
Most readers support professional chefs, and no one thinks that a non-professional can win in cooking.
The attention was so high that even the top management of the website were alarmed. On the third day, that is, the day before the challenge, the top management of the website suddenly decided to follow up and report the incident in real time. They even put the challenge process into a live broadcast platform and broadcast it live.
.
Not only did Mumu not expect this result, but the challenge initiator, the head chef, also did not expect it. The result was that their company paid more attention to it. Although they still used the original raw materials, they selected the best from the raw materials. They must ensure that
Their head chef wins.
With such high attention and live broadcast, they can no longer afford to lose. Once they lose, the brand image of the entire company will be greatly reduced, and it may even affect the operations of the entire company.
The head chef who initiated the challenge did not expect that the matter would become such a big deal.
As for the other party involved, he is still sleeping soundly at this moment and has no idea that this challenge has attracted so many people's attention.
