Chapter 270 Food Contest

The steamed fish is made from naturally mature fairy fish from the prehistoric space as the main ingredient, combined with ordinary salt, sesame oil, and mountain spring water.

Fairy fish does not need to be treated with soy sauce to remove the fishy smell like other fish. Guzheng added three high-grade raw materials such as poria, snow lotus and fleece-flower root to the steamed fish. Not only does the fish taste more beautiful, but the steamed fish also has the same properties as chicken blood soup. The role of dietary therapy.

The steamed fish is also made of all ordinary-grade ingredients. All the food today, except for fruits, has no ingredients below the ordinary-grade.

Two steamed fish, placed on both sides.

Unlike ordinary fish, the steamed fish cooked by Gu Zheng didn't have any heat at all. The fish was still very red, its eyes were open, and its mouth seemed to be opening and closing, as if it were raw fish that had never been cooked.

"Just eat like this?"

He Ying asked first. The chicken blood soup, egg fried rice, and fried eggs did not disappoint them. They all tasted great. They were also looking forward to the steamed fish.

"Yes, just eat it directly!"

Gu Zheng smiled and replied that Chinese people have a special rule when eating fish. The fish head should be pointed at the most distinguished guest, and the most distinguished guest should move the chopsticks first.

Two fish, with their heads pointed at President Gou and President Huang respectively. They have the highest status among all the guests today, not only because of their status, but also their contribution to the food industry. .

In recent years, both the influence and status of the food industry have improved a lot than before. In addition to the inevitable improvement of people's living standards, it is also the joint efforts of these two presidents who have been working hard to improve the status of practitioners in the food industry. , the Food Association has always been a solid backing for many practitioners.

Of course, there are scum in any industry, but the two presidents of the Food Association are still good.

"President Huang, President Gou, please go first!"

Several seniors extended their hands to the two presidents. Today's tasting will make them very satisfied. They were unexpectedly satisfied. They thought that a young man could make something delicious, but they came here to save face. They cheered, but they didn’t expect to have a delicious meal that they didn’t expect.

And this time both presidents are here, so they don't have any pressure to come, but this time they can be sure that this young man's future must be very promising.

"Everyone come together, come together!"

Chairman Huang hurriedly said that he was the oldest and most qualified. Although he was modest, everyone still let him use the chopsticks first. The fish was not eaten cold, so he picked up a piece first.

The white and tender jade meat, with a little red fish skin, was put directly into his mouth.

Because there was no soy sauce, the fish still maintained its original color. I thought that the fish without soy sauce would have a fishy smell, but after eating this fish, President Huang understood that he was wrong again.

Conventionally, you can't think about it in Gu Zheng. Not only does this fish have no fishy smell at all, but the umami flavor of the fish is also completely retained.

The tender fish meat was soft in the mouth, exuding a freshness that made his teeth chatter. This freshness filled his mouth, making him unable to help but swallow the whole piece of fish.

He wasn't the only one who couldn't help it, it was the same for everyone who took a bite of fish.

Fairy fish has fish bones, but there are very few fish bones, and they are removed by Guzheng before cooking, so there will be no fish bones to disturb you when you eat it.

"This fish is completely different from what I imagined!"

After taking a few bites, President Huang stopped his chopsticks and sighed. President Gou's face was no longer bitter, but there was a sense of wonder.

Another extremely impressive delicacy, the most top-notch delicacy. President Gou has only been in office for only six years, but he has been working in the food industry for more than 40 years. The delicacies made by Gu Zheng today , no matter what it is, it is the best of its kind that he has ever tasted.

It can even be said that there is no one.

There is no other food that can compare with it. What he makes is top-notch. It doesn’t matter if most people think so. He is the president of the Food Association. He has eaten countless delicious foods. If you think so, you can imagine how delicious Guzheng's food is.

There are four kinds of delicacies. These four kinds of delicacies have completely given Gu Zheng the strength to win the championship.

It’s not that the food made by others cannot be compared with Guzheng, there are also some with similar taste, but those people cannot make such delicacies over and over again. The scoring of the food competition is not just When it comes to a kind of food, the calculation starts from the very beginning.

The final total score is the sum of the scores. Gu Zheng's four delicacies are so good. It is conceivable that his score will not be bad every time. In this case, there is a great chance of winning the championship.

The top three is scary enough. President Gou doesn't know what to say about winning the championship.

A contestant who participated in the Chinese Cuisine Competition for the first time, a young contestant who was only 23 years old, defeated many seniors and many famous chefs, and finally won the first place in the Chinese Cuisine Competition. As you can imagine, this This food competition will eventually be unforgettable for more people and become a special one among many food competitions.

The steamed fish was really delicious. Two fish were eaten up by more than thirty seniors.

The tasting was not to make them completely full, but to make them eat well. After eating, Gu Zheng tasted the finest tea brewed from the springs of Emei Mountain. The tea was also produced in Emei. Although it did not reach the ordinary level, it still had quality. etc quality.

The food was good, the fruits were good, and the tea was good. Everyone was quite satisfied with this tasting.

"Seniors, if you recognize Gu Zheng's cooking skills, I hope you can say a few nice words after you return. If you can comment publicly, Gu Zheng would be very grateful!"

When it was about to end, Gu Zheng clasped his fists and said to all the seniors. He worked hard and brought out so many good ingredients. What was the purpose of holding this tasting? Isn't it just to let these seniors say good things about him? Help him make a name for himself.

Although there are only more than thirty people here today, there are still heavyweights after all. As long as they are willing to speak for me when they go back, I believe they can speed up the spread of Guzheng's fame.

It doesn’t have to be across the country, as long as it’s within the food circle, and these people are all seniors in the food circle.

"Definitely, don't worry, what do you think?"

He Ying was the first to agree. Gu Zheng was a member of his family. He would definitely support Gu Zheng, and would also tie the others together.

People are soft-spoken. No matter what the reason is, they all had a satisfying meal today. Since they are satisfied, it is completely okay to help them with a few words. What's more, what they said is the truth, and there is no need to say it against their conscience.

After sending all the seniors away, Gu Zheng packed up his things and left. Only then did the store owner understand who all the people who entered the store today were.

The current and former president of the Food Association, the champion of the first Chinese Food Competition, and many well-known seniors in the industry, he now regrets why he did not take pictures before.

There is no need to take a group photo, just hang up the photos of them dining in the store, and add text, which is also a great pride of the store. It is a pity that such a good opportunity was wasted.

"Brother Gu, thank you for your hard work!"

In the car, Gu Zheng closed his eyes, and Wang Dong whispered to him that all these foods require immortal power. Gu Zheng consumed a lot of food this time, so he was a little tired.

"It's okay to work hard, it's useful. Can you send out all the invitations for tomorrow?"

Gu Zheng shook his head slightly. Tomorrow he will invite another group of seniors. With more than 30 people this time, it is very difficult for him to become famous in the food world and become the most famous among the 300 contestants. Many of the contestants are the most famous people in various industries, and some have long been famous and have high fame and prestige in the food industry.

If Gu Zheng wants to surpass them in a short time, he must do more.

"It's been sent out, but only a dozen people are sure to come!"

Wang Dong nodded. These invitations were sent out at noon. A total of one hundred and twenty were sent out. Only a dozen of them clearly stated that they would come, and not even one-tenth of them agreed.

This is also the embarrassment of Gu Zheng. He is well-known in Shanghai, but in the capital and in the whole country, he is still an unknown boy. Even if he holds a tasting party and invites others to eat and drink for free, he will not be able to turn people around. Please come.

"Just send it out, we just need to be ourselves!"

Gu Zheng sighed slightly. This is the difference in reputation. If the inviter were replaced by someone else, I believe the response would not be so small. Even his father, who has worked abroad for many years, is much better than him.

Gu Zheng's father Gu Ming, after all, got top three good results that year. He had positive results. If he took the initiative to invite, many people would respond.

"If they don't come, they will be the ones who suffer!"

Wang Dong said angrily, and he was right. If these people didn't come, they would be the ones who would suffer. This thought was not only his, but also that of many seniors who went back today.

You are right, you are right, otherwise how could you eat so many delicious foods? Many people think this way, even President Gou himself.

Back home, President Gou was still reminiscing about the delicacies that Gu Zheng had made before. The more he thought about it, the more he sighed. Before he went there, it was hard for him to believe that someone could make so many delicious delicacies in a row. This shows that he is not only at the top. The cooking skills and the selection of ingredients are also very good, very good.

As the current president of the Food Association, he is well aware of the importance of ingredients in food.

Not wanting to have dinner and having nothing to do, President Gou sat in the study by himself. He thought of what Gu Zheng said to them at the end and hoped that they could give a few comments.

It is said to be a comment, but in fact it means to praise, comment and say a few nice words.

If it were anyone else, if the food was not delicious, even if President Gou had eaten it, he would not really comment on it. His comments would always be honest and he would never say anything against his will. No one could make him say something against his will. If so, he doesn't have the need.

Sitting at the desk, President Gou calmed down, turned on the computer, and started typing slowly in front of the computer.

As the current president of the Food Association, he learned to use computers early. He can surf the Internet, post in forums, check news online, and can basically use some of the simplest functions.

He opened the official website of the Food Association, found the link to this food competition, and recently entered the forum.

After thinking about it for a while, he logged into his account and started posting.

"All contestants, please pay attention. If you don't work hard, you will miss the chance to win this competition!"

This is the title written by President Gou. It is eye-catching and scary. It is also his true inner thoughts. If Gu Zheng can maintain the standard of today's tasting meeting, he will have at least half a chance of winning the championship in this food competition. .

Half of it is still a conservative estimate by President Gou.

In the past, even he would not believe that someone had such a chance of winning the championship. The competition for the championship of previous food competitions was very fierce. Before the final result of the competition came out, no one knew who would win the championship.

But this time, he had a hunch, a strong hunch, that the champion of this food competition might be reserved by this young man from the beginning.

Today is just a tasting meeting, and Gu Zheng made multiple portions. When they are made together, I believe he will be more serious and careful during the competition. The food he made at that time may be a little better than today.

If that is the case, then the possibility of Gu Zheng winning the championship is not 50%, but will increase.

So he wrote such a post. First, he promised Gu Zheng to comment on him. Since it is a comment, he should tell the truth, speak harshly, and speak well. Another point is to remind other contestants that you have a very powerful competitor.

Especially those contestants who have the hope of getting good results and winning the championship, pay more attention, the wolf is coming.

President Gou wrote in the post about his feelings about attending Gu Zheng's tasting meeting today. Whether it is the fruit that welcomes guests at the beginning or the food that comes later, the taste is not bad. He focused on commenting on the four kinds of food made by Gu Zheng. The four kinds of food have their own characteristics and merits, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they taste very good.

In the post, President Gou praised Gu Zheng a lot, saying that Gu Zheng was the best young chef he had ever seen.

Not only that, President Gou also put himself in the role of a judge of the food competition. He said that if he were a judge, he would give extremely high scores to these four kinds of food. The four kinds of food would probably win the championship after all.

Finally, President Gou made an assessment of Gu Zheng's chance of winning the championship. Conservatively estimated, Gu Zheng's chance of winning the championship was 50%.

After writing, President Gou breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare for him to praise someone so much, but Gu Zheng was indeed worthy of his praise. Most importantly, he hoped that the contestants of this session could understand and appreciate his painstaking efforts and work hard, otherwise, this competition would really let Gu Zheng win the championship.

After pressing the post button, President Gou stopped thinking about this matter and accompanied his wife and grandson to watch TV and enjoy family time.

President Gou's post soon appeared in the forum. The forum has an online editor. Recently, the food competition is about to be held. There are many people in the forum every day. This is an official forum. In order to avoid large-scale spam posts, the administrators and moderators of the website are online in turns 24 hours a day.

It is only evening now, and there is more than one administrator online.

They soon noticed this post. Such arrogant words made the administrator sneer. Similar posts have been made in the past few days. They all predict which contestant will win the championship, but the statements are different.

As long as there is no personal attack on this post, they generally ignore it. Naturally, there are supporters of other famous chefs to distinguish.

But after seeing the poster, the administrator was stunned for a moment, and rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he had read it wrong.

Gou Yun, VIP, real-name authentication user, is the president of the Food Association.

The president of the Food Association is the leader of his leader, and then the person he leads. He is just a small administrator. The level difference between him and such a person is too big.

After confirming the identity, the administrator hurriedly reported to his superior. President Gou didn't post often. It seemed that he had posted an encouraging post a long time ago, and then there was no more.

He didn't know whether this post was true or false, but the identity of the poster made him have to report it as soon as possible. He didn't dare to delete or hide this post, and just stared at it blankly.

Before his superior replied to him, someone had seen the post and replied.

The person who replied to the post was an ordinary user. He didn't care who the poster was at all. He immediately criticized it and regarded President Gou as a fan of a chef who came to cheer for the chef he supported.

Soon, someone found that the poster was different and questioned below whether the account was hacked?

The administrator also received instructions from his superior. The post was sent by the president himself, so it was pinned to the top. He also had to keep an eye on this post and delete all replies that insulted and insulted.

It was actually sent by the president. When the administrator was pinning it to the top, he suddenly had a hunch in his heart.

This post will definitely go viral, and it will be a big hit. In the next few days, this post will definitely become their key monitoring target, and it will attract the attention of many other contestants.

The administrator's premonition was not wrong at all. Before tomorrow, the post went viral that night.

It was noticed that there were many posters. Not everyone paid attention to who posted the post, not to mention that the post was pinned by the administrator himself. Pinning it to the top represents the identification of the identity.

It was the first time in the history of the food competition that the current president of the Food Association publicly praised a contestant in such a high-profile manner. This post not only received many replies, but was also forwarded to Weibo, Moments and other channels.

Not only that, the official website of the Food Association forwarded this post.

The article written by the boss must be posted.

Some other seniors who participated in the tasting meeting also praised the food made by Gu Zheng on their Weibo or Moments, but no one's article was as influential as President Gou's. By the next day, almost all contestants knew that President Gou praised a contestant in this way.

This contestant is still the youngest contestant.

Many were amazed, many were dissatisfied. Some food-related TV stations and websites seemed to have caught the big news. Some people interviewed President Huang, some interviewed Gu Zheng, and some interviewed other contestants in the competition.

Overnight, Gu Zheng's name was mentioned ten thousand times more than before.

Gu Zheng himself didn't know until the next day at noon, when he arrived at the restaurant, he found out that many reporters were waiting for him, wanting to know his opinion on President Gou's high evaluation.

Gu Zheng did not refuse the interview with the reporter. He was going to become famous in this test, and it would be better to have a reporter interview him, which would help him become famous, but his answer was much more humble, repeatedly saying that it was all President Gou's love, and he still had a lot to do.

As for President Gou, he didn't accept the interview at all, but some other popular players said that they would show President Gou their results. Some people said that President Gou had made a mistake this time, and the facts would prove the final result.

They were all the top players in the country, especially those who had the hope of winning the championship. No one was convinced by anyone. President Gou's post made them all confused. In the eyes of the current president, they were not as good as a young man in his early twenties. It would be strange if they could accept it.

In the afternoon, the article about the interview with Gu Zheng was published in Xi'an.

Gu Zheng opened it and read it, and almost fainted after reading it.

His humble words were completely changed by the reporter. He said thank you for President Gou's kindness, but it was written as thank you for President Gou's praise, and he would not let the president down.

He said he would work harder, but it was written as he was confident of winning the championship and he could do better in the food competition.

These reports increased the click rate, but also made Gu Zheng the target of public criticism. Gu Zheng's fame was rising rapidly, but at the same time, the number of people hostile to him was also increasing rapidly.

Gu Zheng was very amused and helpless about this, but unfortunately he had no time to deal with these news. His second tasting meeting began.

Originally, only a dozen people agreed, but unexpectedly, more than 50 people came in the end, which was more than yesterday.

This is thanks to President Gou's article. Without President Gou's article, there might not be as many people coming today as yesterday. After all, some people yesterday were invited by people around Gu Zheng. They came for the sake of those people instead of Gu Zheng.

For example, Mr. Gao, Uncle Hu, and Gu Ming.

Today, all the people were invited by Gu Zheng himself, so there will definitely not be many people coming.

But the final result was more than yesterday, because many people wanted to see whether Gu Zheng's cooking was as good as President Gou said. President Gou's article at least increased the number of people here by two-thirds today.

After the tasting session, many people left in silence.

Before, they still had doubts, thinking that President Gou was exaggerating, but after eating the food made by Gu Zheng, they realized that President Gou did not, and Gu Zheng really had the strength to win the championship of the food competition, and it was very promising.

Although these old predecessors were not contestants, they had either participated in it before or served as judges, and they knew the food competition very well. If Gu Zheng maintained this level to participate in the competition, he would win the championship, not to say 100%, but at least more than 50%.

This is still a conservative estimate, and President Gou's evaluation is not wrong.

As for the top three, 80% of them can be booked, and the top ten are basically set. Anyway, as long as Gu Zheng performs well, he will definitely have a very good result.

The wolf is coming, it is really a wolf, but this time it is not a wolf from the north, but a young wolf from the south. Although this wolf is not young, it is very strong.

Gu Zheng finally made the same request to the seniors who came today.

Ask them to help speak and comment.

Even President Gou made comments, so there was no need for them to refuse. After returning, many seniors wrote their feelings and thoughts. Most of them were like President Gou, first affirming Gu Zheng's cooking skills, and then reminding the contestants participating in this food competition to pay attention. If they were not careful, the championship would be taken away by Gu Zheng.

The food made by Gu Zheng really conquered them.

It would be fine if there was only one President Gou, but now so many people have come out to praise Gu Zheng, and many contestants who participated in this food competition can't stand it. That night, a previous favorite, who had the hope of winning the championship and ranked seventh in the last session, suddenly announced that he would also hold a tasting meeting and invite seniors and many peers to taste the food he made.

He held it in his own restaurant, not only inviting the seniors who Gu Zheng had invited, but also the contestants who also participated in the food competition this time, and it was a one-time invitation.

This was just the reaction of the first contestant, and I believe there will be other contestants who will react.

Compared to those seniors who praised Gu Zheng, most of the people in the forum were questioning him. Some people even asked what Gu Zheng's background was. Even the president of the Food Association came out to endorse him.

However, not all of them were against it. There were also supporters of Gu Zheng, but they were not many.

Most of these supporters were customers of Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup. Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup had been open for several months, and at least hundreds of thousands of people had eaten it. It was nothing for these people to support Gu Zheng on the forum. Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup was originally prepared for takeout and packaged, and basically only served in the restaurant. People who had eaten in the restaurant had seen Gu Zheng's introduction.

During this period, the store manager was also working hard to promote Gu Zheng.

Promoting Gu Zheng was equivalent to promoting the store and himself.

Gu Zheng's supporters all said that Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup was good. Although few of these supporters actually drank the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng himself, most of them had heard from people in the store that Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup was indeed much better than the one sold in the store.

And many people had smelled the fragrance of chicken blood soup before.

With their support, Gu Zheng was not subjected to one-sided doubts and attacks, but the number of his supporters was still too small, and the posts supporting him were quickly drowned out, mostly doubts.

"Brother Gu, these people are too much!"

Wang Dong was lying on the sofa, holding a tablet and reading the forum, and said to Gu Zheng angrily.

He also has an account on the forum, and is also a supporter of Gu Zheng, and the most staunch supporter. He just saw a post insulting Gu Zheng and immediately got angry.

As soon as he fought back, a bunch of people came over and said that he was a 50-cent party member and a gunman hired by Gu Zheng.

But that post was quickly deleted. After all, there were personal attacks, and the forum did not allow posts with personal attacks to exist.

"Don't worry about them, look at the forum, see if the contestants have spoken!"

Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head, and his heart moved, and he said to Wang Dong again, someone had just called to tell him that a contestant was also doing a tasting session like him, and invited more people.

It is not surprising that someone imitates him. What Gu Zheng wants to do is to make his fame surpass theirs. As long as he can surpass them, it will be fine. This test is called the test of fame. The condition for completing the test is that he becomes the most famous one in the food industry among all the contestants.

This means that he does not need to compare his name with others, but only needs to compare with the remaining 299 contestants.

"Okay, I'll go and see it right away!"

Wang Dong quickly agreed, and soon he really found a few posts of contestants. The contestants have certifications and cannot be impersonated. These posts are also questioning Gu Zheng, but no one is like that contestant, who also held a tasting meeting.

"Forget it, take a rest first, and see tomorrow!"

There are only eleven days left before the start of the competition, and he only has eleven days left for the test. He was thinking about whether there are any radical posts. As long as he replies, he can cause quarrels on the Internet, which can also increase his fame. No matter how big or small this fame is, Gu Zheng wants it now, as long as he can help him complete the test.

Failure in this test is a severe punishment. According to the nature of the weapon spirit, if he really fails, the punishment will definitely be very severe. He does not want to accept such a punishment.

Gu Zheng got up early the next morning. His tasting meeting continued today. Yesterday, he also sent out more than 100 invitations, but more than 30 people clearly stated that they would come, which was better than the day before.

His tasting meeting was still held in the afternoon. This time, more than 40 people came, not as many as yesterday. Some of them went to taste another contestant, and the others were people who had no interest in coming at all.

More than 40 people, not a small number, but just halfway through the tasting, Wang Dong hurriedly walked to Gu Zheng's ear and whispered in his ear.

Gu Zheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

The tasting meeting of the previous contestant was messed up. He started at 2 pm, two hours earlier than the time of Gu Zheng. The reason for his failure was that too many people went. He invited without restrictions, and he had some connections, so more than 100 seniors went. In addition, the contestants who participated in the competition this time, because of the post by President Gou, all had a common hatred of the enemy, and more than 100 contestants came to support in person.

Almost 300 people, he didn't expect there would be so many people.

The ingredients he prepared in advance were not enough, and he couldn't do it alone, so he hurriedly asked his apprentice to help, but how could the food made by the apprentice be compared with his own hands? Many people expressed disappointment after tasting.

Especially for a few who had been to Gu Zheng, the comparison was even more obvious.

The gap between the two is simply heaven and earth, there is no way to compare, they even regret coming here.

Just these things would not surprise Gu Zheng that much. If it failed, it failed. It did not affect him much, nor would it increase his fame. At most, it would make everyone laugh at that contestant. What surprised him was another piece of news brought by Wang Dong.

There was a contestant named Song Bai who went to the tasting meeting. At the end of the tasting meeting, he suddenly announced that he would set up a ring at Kunlun Hotel. Anyone could go to the ring and bring his special skills. He would cook the same food. If he did not cook as well as the other party, he would lose.

He would give a bonus of 10 million yuan on the spot to those who could beat him.

On the contrary, even if he won, he would not let the other party pay any price, as long as he admitted that he was not as good as him.

Song Bai also had requirements for the ring he set up this time. Only those who had participated in the Chinese Food Competition this time or in the past could go, or chefs with extremely high reputations could go, otherwise he would not accept the challenge.

Someone has posted the news of him setting up the ring on the Internet, and it is called a 10 million ring. It is said that Kunlun Hotel has confirmed all this and is willing to guarantee Song Bai. If Song Bai loses, they will pay the money.

Once this news came out, it was more sensational than the post by President Gou praising Gu Zheng. It instantly became the biggest news. Now everyone on the Internet is discussing this matter.

"More high-profile than me, who is this Song Bai?"

Gu Zheng whispered. He was not unfamiliar with the name Song Bai. Among the contestants participating in this food competition, there are a total of two contestants under the age of 25, one is him, and the other is Song Bai, 24 years old.

Before Gu Zheng participated in the competition, he had achieved results in the Hangzhou Food Competition. He was the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition. There were many contestants in the Hangzhou Food Competition who had participated in the Chinese Food Competition, so he could participate in the Chinese Food Competition. There is less controversy.

This Song Bai didn't get any results at all. He just participated in the competition. Many people said that this Chinese Food Competition had the most shady stories.

"I don't know who he is, but after Kunlun Hotel made the guarantee, many chefs participating in the competition said they would go to the competition and asked them to prepare 10 million!"

Wang Dong whispered, Kunlun Hotel is a five-star hotel and a chain store with billions of assets. Since they are willing to guarantee it, these famous chefs can naturally rest assured.

Song Bai's arrogance also angered all the famous chefs. Gu Zheng was temporarily put aside by them, and they all said that they would teach Song Bai a lesson to stop being so arrogant.

Song Bai is as young as Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng has been scolded many times. Anyway, the reputation of both of them is not very good now.

"Brother Gu, I think it's better for you to go to the ring and beat him 10 million at a time. We will soon earn 100 million and buy many, many houses!"

Wang Dong added that in his heart, Gu Zheng's cooking skills were the best. If Gu Zheng participated in this arena, he would definitely win.

"This person is so arrogant. He either has the ability or is deliberately attracting attention. Let's take a look first and then talk!"

Gu Zheng shook his head, but he was also very depressed.

He worked hard at the tasting and finally gained some fame. Although he was not the highest among the three hundred contestants, he was improving all the time. Now he is fine. This Song Bai just released a piece of news and became famous in an instant. Ran to the front.

Just now, Qi Ling told him that the most famous among the three hundred contestants in the food industry is Song Bai.

Qi Ling only counts fame and does not care about good or bad reputations. This makes Gu Zheng extremely depressed. If he had known this, he would have set up a high-profile arena at the beginning. Now he is the most famous person, which means he has completed the test ahead of schedule.

This Song Bai had just released the news and had not started the real competition. He was already so famous, which made Gu Zheng very helpless.

It can only be said that Song Bai's timing was very good. When the contestant failed in the tasting event and many people were disappointed, he announced the news, and nearly 300 people knew about it directly on the spot.

These three hundred people went back and spread the word, and almost everyone in the capital's food circle knew about it soon.

Coupled with some people's Weibo, promotion in Moments, and many contestants saying that they wanted to compete, his name spread almost like a rocket. Although it was only a short time, there are now many people in the food industry, especially in the food industry. Among the famous people, not many people know him.

His arrogance is the best in the food industry.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that he has the reputation of being number one, but his number one is not stable. He only relies on his arrogant actions to attract attention. Once he fails to compete, he will soon become a laughing stock.

Moreover, Gu Zheng's temperament is not suitable for this at all. Doing tastings makes him feel very high-profile. High-profile things like setting up a ring are not suitable for him at all.

Gu Zheng's tasting meeting was still very successful, but the food world's attention was completely attracted by Song Bai. He will officially start competing at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and has also found ten very impartial judges.

These ten people are not all people in the food industry, but they are all leaders in all walks of life. They only judge the taste and make no other comments. Such judges are quite convincing.

It is said that there are more than 20 people who signed up for the competition. Many people said that they must have earned the ten million yuan. Some people even wanted to make not only ten million yuan, but also more, just like Wang Dong thought. many.

Song Bai didn't mean that as long as one dish was not as good as the other's, he would lose. Losing once would be ten million. If he beat him on multiple dishes, it wouldn't mean he won tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

"Brother Gu, there are fewer people who promised to come tomorrow, what should I do?"

Gu Zheng's tasting meeting is still going on, but today not even ten people agreed, and most of them were attracted by Song Bai's stage.

"No matter how much it is, keep doing it!"

Gu Zheng sighed and continued the half-off tasting meeting. At least the seniors who had come would recognize him, and he could increase his reputation. If not, his reputation would not only not increase but also fall back. Now Gu Zheng has no other good solution. We can only continue to do it first.

There was a tasting session in the afternoon, delicious food in the morning, and Gu Zheng also went to the Kunlun Hotel.

Kunlun Hotel is a five-star hotel. The restaurant was specially set aside for Song Bai to compete, and people from the notary office were also invited. As long as it was confirmed that Song Bai lost, they would immediately send a cash check of 10 million as a reward.

Because of this high reward, not only people in the food industry are paying attention to this matter, but also many TV stations and online media have come to the scene. This kind of thing itself is good news.

There are even many live broadcast platforms that come to broadcast live.

The hotel restaurant was already crowded. Fortunately, Gu Zheng came early, otherwise he might not even be able to get in.

"With so many people, it would be ugly if they lost!"

Wang Dong looked around and couldn't help but say, no matter it was Song Bai or the challenger who came to fight, it would be ugly for anyone to lose. However, Wang Dong still wanted Song Bai to lose. This person was too arrogant.

So arrogant that even he can't stand it.

"I think he may not lose!"

Gu Zheng shook his head gently. He had never seen Song Bai, but since Song Bai could participate in the competition, it proved that he must have good cooking skills. Otherwise, the person who recommended him would lose his reputation and no one would do such a thing.

Moreover, it was not enough to just recommend him. The people of the Food Association would also do a test. Only after passing this test, he would be truly qualified to participate in the Chinese Food Competition.

Since Song Bai was selected for the final list of 300 people, he must have passed the test of the Food Association.

In this case, his cooking skills would not be too bad. A person with good cooking skills would set up a competition so high-profile, which showed that he was very confident in his cooking skills. Therefore, Gu Zheng felt that Song Bai should not lose, but it was not easy to win the competition on the opponent's specialty. The specific result would have to wait and see.

Song Bai walked out quickly. He was a tall and thin young man with good looks, very white skin and long hair.

He didn't look like a chef at all. Girls would look at him more when he walked outside. If he went to film, he would definitely be another popular young actor.

Song Bai looked like this, which really surprised many people. Gu Zheng frowned.

"Spirit, can you detect him?"

Gu Zheng suddenly said in his heart. After seeing Song Bai, he always felt that he was a little different, and couldn't help asking the spirit.

"The distance is a bit far, you are closer!"

Gu Zheng squeezed forward a little. There were many people now, and he had to squeeze to move. He soon squeezed to a place about ten meters away from Song Bai.

"Internal force practitioner, internal force level, middle stage of the third level!"

The spirit said quickly, and Gu Zheng widened his eyes. He didn't expect that Song Bai was actually an internal force practitioner, and his strength was not low. He actually reached the realm of the middle stage of the third level.

The other party was an internal force practitioner, and a relatively strong practitioner, which was really beyond Gu Zheng's expectation.

After Song Bai came out, many girls looked straight at him. In an instant, many girls changed from haters to fans. They were originally opposed, but now they support Song Bai.

The boys were jealous. Song Bai stood there and didn't speak. Instead, a man in his thirties beside him kept talking.

He read out the rules of the game. There was no change from what Song Bai said before, except for one more rule: the challenger had to provide double the ingredients. Song Bai not only made the same food as the challenger, but also used the same raw materials.

Only in this way can the effect of cooking skills be truly demonstrated.

The arrogant attitude almost made several challengers angry, but fortunately, they had prepared a lot of ingredients, so it was better to give him one, which would make them feel more assured. They were all prepared by themselves, and the other party at least couldn't do anything with the ingredients.

"Gu Zheng, it's easy for you to win him!"

The spirit of the weapon suddenly said to Gu Zheng in his heart. Gu Zheng was slightly stunned and immediately understood what the spirit of the weapon meant.

The same ingredients may not be of the same grade. Gu Zheng's ingredients are the same in appearance, but of different grades.

Sesame oil, if upgraded, is ordinary, and if not upgraded, is inferior, eggs, salt and water are all the same. Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about fried eggs. The fried eggs made by Gu Zheng using all ordinary levels will definitely taste better than those made by all inferior levels.

The ingredients are a whole level apart, and it takes a great improvement in cooking skills to catch up, but Gu Zheng uses the cooking skills of Tiexian. He doesn't believe that anyone can beat Tiexian in cooking skills, not to mention that he has the help of immortal power.

The spirit of the instrument is right. It's easy for him to win, but this way of winning is not what he wants, and he didn't sign up.

The first applicant passed quickly. This is a contestant of this food competition. He is in the middle and lower level among the three hundred people. He also knows that it is not easy for him to get a good ranking, but being able to participate is already his biggest victory.

He also went to another tasting meeting yesterday. After Song Bai said it, he was the first to sign up on the spot.

At that time, he said that he would let Song Bai prepare 10 million obediently, and he would definitely take the 10 million away.

He took out the ingredients he brought and divided them into two portions. Song Bai could choose any one of them. Song Bai chose one of them and then began to cook his specialty.

He didn't cook fish or meat, but a vegetarian dish, asparagus.

He cooked asparagus very well. There was almost no one in the country who could compare with him. He was called the best asparagus expert. Unfortunately, this was the only dish he cooked. If he cooked more, he might have won a good ranking and would not be ranked in the middle or lower.

He cooked asparagus very quickly and it was done in a short while. Although it was a vegetarian dish, it had good color, aroma and taste, which was very rare.

The ten temporary judges tasted the asparagus he cooked first and gave him a thumbs up. He sat aside with a proud look.

Song Bai walked up and cooked the same asparagus using the ingredients he had just chosen. He was faster and his technique seemed more skilled. He cooked asparagus faster than the previous person. After he finished, the smile on the previous person's face disappeared a lot.

In terms of technique alone, even the previous challenger was inferior to him.

This portion of asparagus was quickly delivered. After tasting it, the ten people unanimously decided that Song Bai's asparagus won.

This result stunned the whole audience.

"What? I don't accept it. There must be a conspiracy!"

The challenger immediately stood up and shouted. Song Bai didn't say anything at all. The man who read out the rules before asked him to taste the asparagus made by Song Bai.

The challenger walked over, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. His face turned green and white, and he quickly shook his head and turned to leave.

He said he was not convinced, but after eating it, he was convinced even if he was not convinced. The asparagus made by the other party did taste better than him, and even he had nothing to say.

Unfortunately, he was stopped before he could leave.

"Although there is no penalty for losing, you seem to have forgotten one thing!"

The man next to Song Bai looked at him with a smile. He had said before when discussing the rules that he would not pay a penny if he lost, but he had to admit in public that he was not as good as Song Bai.

"I lost!"

The beater's face turned even more ugly, and he finally spoke with difficulty. The man smiled slightly, and then the person blocking the beater stepped aside and allowed him to leave.

When he admitted defeat, it was tantamount to admitting that he was inferior to Song Bai. What they wanted was for the other party to admit it personally, not necessarily to say something like 'I am not as good as Song Bai'.

The first challenger lost, which was beyond everyone's expectation. I didn't expect that Song Bai was really capable. The challenger really admitted that he was not as good as him. Many onlookers were talking about it, and some girls were excited. shouted.

"Brother Gu, is he really so good that even the people who participated in the Chinese Food Competition can't beat him in their own specialty dishes?"

Wang Dong asked doubtfully. None of them ate the asparagus cooked by the two of them, but they all saw that the challenger had given up on his own. Unless the challenger was bribed by him, Song Bai really won.

Bribing the beater? Almost impossible.

There is more than one challenger, so he can't bribe all the challengers. If this is the case, he will have to bribe all three hundred contestants, and even the previous contestants.

If he can do this, why should the competition be held? Just give him first place.

Second update!
