Chapter 149: Ranked 10th in the Country (Additional Chapter 1 for the Release of Tianping Online)

"Sesame oil, I haven't tried it!"

It is true that Wang Dong has never made egg fried rice with sesame oil, let alone egg fried rice, and he has never made other dishes. He had chosen a lot of oils at first, but he never thought about sesame oil.

Mainly because when he was a child, his family told him that sesame oil is easy to heat and is not suitable for cooking. Since then, he has remembered that no matter what he is cooking, he has never thought of using sesame oil.

"You come and try it first!"

Gu Zheng stood up, took out his own sesame oil, and asked Wang Dong to test it. The olive oil Wang Dong chose was good and expensive, but it was just low-quality ingredients, which affected the taste of his egg fried rice.

The greasy smell of Wang Dong's egg fried rice has always been there, which is also an important reason why he has never rated it more than nine points so many times.

Wang Dong did whatever Gu Zheng said. Stir-frying with sesame oil was indeed not easy. Wang Dong just tried some random vegetables, but failed in the end.

"Come again!"

Gu Zheng poured him some more sesame oil and continued to experiment. His sesame oil was a second-rate ingredient. If Wang Dong could adapt to his sesame oil, he could replace the olive oil with it to improve the overall taste of the food.

"You're too impatient, this won't work!"

"It's too slow this time. The sesame oil must be fried quickly!"

"The speed was right this time, but you were too nervous, which affected the taste of the final food!"

After several consecutive experiments, Wang Dong gradually adapted to cooking with sesame oil. The most important thing for cooking with sesame oil is to estimate and control the heat. Don't let the sesame oil get too hot. This is not a particularly difficult technique. Gu Zheng practiced it casually in the beginning. Practice it and you’ll get it done.

Wang Dong himself is very talented in cooking. Under Gu Zheng's guidance, he quickly adapted to the method of cooking with sesame oil.

"Very good, that's it. If you participate in the competition tomorrow, just use sesame oil!"

Finally, after Wang Dong made an egg fried rice, Gu Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Wang Dong had adapted to the sesame oil. Wang Dong's egg fried rice had a total of four ingredients, rice, eggs, oil and salt.

Wang Dong’s egg fried rice does not use green onions to add flavor, not because he couldn’t find the right green onions, but because truly delicious egg fried rice does not require green onions to add flavor. The aroma of green onions will affect the fusion of eggs and rice, affecting the entire egg fried rice. Not only does his egg fried rice use no onions, but Gu Zheng's egg fried rice also doesn't use onions.

Of the four ingredients, Mi Guzheng has fairy rice. Although the quantity is not much, it is still enough to make egg fried rice. Unfortunately, the fairy rice contains fairy power. People without fairy power cannot control it at all. Even if Gu Zheng helps him change it Neither can Xianmi.

Apart from rice, Gu Zheng could replace the other three ingredients for him.

There are a lot of eggs on hand, and they are all ordinary ingredients that have been improved. Not only do they not have any fishy smell, but they can also add a refreshing feeling. The sesame oil is second-rate, and Wang Dong has already mastered how to use it.

The last thing is salt. Gu Zheng decided to upgrade the second-grade table salt he had on hand to ordinary level tonight. The shredded chicken noodle soup he was going to make required ordinary level salt. It would be the same if he raised it early and raised it late, so it would be better to upgrade it in advance. Tomorrow Wang Dong can use ordinary grade salt to make egg fried rice.

With the addition of salt, Wang Dong's four ingredients, two of which are ordinary and two of which are inferior, have more than doubled compared to the original ingredients. The taste will naturally increase a lot, which can give him a lot of points.

In this case, if he still can't advance, Gu Zheng will have no choice.

Wang Dong didn't understand why Gu Zheng suddenly asked him to change these things, but one thing he knew very well was that Gu Zheng was doing it for his own good, and it was really good for him. He was very grateful and didn't ask the reason at all.

The three of them got up early the next morning. Mumu also brought a voice recorder and other things today. A website editor came to Hangzhou yesterday and will join her today for interviews and reports.

In fact, for many people, today's game is the official start, not before.

The three venues were all conference venues. Gu Zheng and Wang Dong were also separated. If they were not in the same venue, they could not go together. Mu Mu originally wanted to go to Gu Zheng's venue, but Gu Zheng refused and asked her to follow Wang Dong. Dong went to the second venue where Wang Dong was.

Wang Dong has a somewhat reserved personality and lacks self-confidence. Mumu can encourage him, as long as he doesn't get into the same situation as the second day of the game.

Gu Zheng was at the first meeting place. He took a taxi and came here with tools and ingredients.

The first venue was a unit's leisure ballroom, which was completely different from the basketball hall that had not been built before. It was very big, and each contestant had his own place to sit, and the judges sat in front of them.

Not only that, they can also bring assistants to the stage. The assistants can help them handle some ingredients, but they cannot help them cook them directly.

The venue is closed, and non-related personnel are not allowed to enter. Except for the judges and staff, they are the people who participated in the competition and brought them. This can better maintain order.

Today's ancient dispute does not need to be broadcast live, yesterday's one was enough.

Gu Zheng came earlier, but there was someone earlier than him. There was no one he knew at the venue. After handing the things to the staff to put them away, he found a seat and sat down, looking around.

The venue was well decorated, and the competition stage was different from before. It was much more refined. This was the real competition venue, which was completely different from before.

"Luo Dong is actually here too?"

"Luo Dong is nothing, but you didn't see that Liu Lin is here too!"

"I really didn't expect that this competition would actually attract them all. I used to have some confidence, but now I feel confident!"

The list of recommended candidates was not announced in advance, and everyone didn’t know who was going to participate in the competition until the venue. This was a big deal, but it made many famous chefs feel a little nervous.

Luo Dong is a famous chef in Hangzhou. He was invited to participate in the 13th and 14th Chinese Food Competition. Although he didn’t make it to the finals, it was already a great honor to be invited to participate.

Being invited means that he is already in the top 300 in the country. With so many cities in the country, it is very good to be listed in the top 300.

Liu Lin participated in the 14th Chinese Food Competition and didn’t make it to the finals, but he went further than Luo Dong. He participated in the second semi-final, and his ranking was equivalent to another step forward. This was only a competition held in the prefecture-level city. Although the government was involved, it was the first time after all. Such a competition invited a famous chef who participated in the Chinese Food Competition, which was a kind of affirmation in itself.

People around were talking about it. Every time a famous chef came in, many people would exclaim.

“Wow!”

Three more people came in from outside. Seeing the one in front of the three people, the scene suddenly made an uproar.

"Zhao Fu, it's him!"

"Even Zhao Fu came to participate in the competition, my God!"

"With him here, I guess he will take the first place this time, no one else can compete with him!"

Zhao Fu, less than 40 years old, is a local chef in Hangzhou. He can be said to be one of the most famous chefs in Hangzhou. His West Lake Vinegar Fish has been served in the center of Beijing and is also a must-order dish when the country entertains important foreign guests in Hangzhou.

Don't look at his young age. He has participated in three consecutive Chinese Food Competitions. Unlike the previous few people, he passed the preliminary round and entered the finals. He is one of the 30 finalists.

That's not all. In the 14th, which is the last competition, he won the tenth place. Although it is only the tenth, he is also a person with a ranking, which is equivalent to the tenth in the country. He came to participate in the competition. Many people believe that he will definitely win the first place this time.

The tenth in the country, this is just a local competition. It is not easy for him to win the championship in such a competition.

The eighth update, thanks to the leader Tianping Online for the leader reward, and there will be more updates next.
