Chapter 271 Turns Out He Was Cheating

Besides, Gu Zheng knew Song Bai's identity. Song Bai was a cultivator, a cultivator with strong strength. I'm afraid he wouldn't do that.

The second challenger came on stage soon. He made the famous snack in Beijing, fried noodles with soybean sauce.

He was also a contestant in this competition, but fried noodles with soybean sauce was not his best delicacy. He was good at more than one kind and hoped to get a good ranking in the competition. This time he hid it.

Fried noodles with soybean sauce was not his specialty, but it was a food he loved. He often made it himself. There were very few people who could make it better than him. Many famous fried noodles restaurants in Beijing were not as good as him. He had this confidence.

He had been making fried noodles with soybean sauce for decades. With the same ingredients, he didn't believe that others could make it better than him.

The ingredients were divided into two parts. He still made it first, kneading the dough and making the sauce at the same time. He made it very quickly. After a while, a bowl of hot fried noodles with soybean sauce came out of the pot, and a pungent fragrance spread out.

The fragrance was indeed very strong, but it was greasy. He used ordinary ingredients.

Even so, it is not easy to have such a fragrance, which proves that his cooking skills are really good, and he is very good at making noodles with soybean paste.

After he finished, Song Bai also moved, and Gu Zheng kept staring at him and watched very carefully.

What Song Bai did was a little different from him, but the whole process was the same, and he did it more carefully and better than this person. Gu Zheng found that he removed some unnecessary and cumbersome steps, and his efficiency was higher than the previous person.

The steps are the same, which means that he followed the steps of the previous person. The method is different because he made improvements. It is even possible that he has never made noodles with soybean paste before, but just watched the previous person make it once, and then followed it.

If it is really as guessed, then this person is really terrible, and his cooking skills have reached a certain level.

He can learn it just by watching it once, and he can do it better than others. Such a person can definitely be called a genius. In terms of cooking skills, he is even better than Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's cooking skills are good, but many of them are inherited from Tiexian. The only cooking skills he created are fried rice with eggs.

Song Bai's noodles were made faster and more fragrant, making many people around him feel hungry.

The ten judges quickly finished their noodles and finally decided that Song Bai was the winner.

This challenger was the same as before, unwilling to admit defeat, but after eating Song Bai's noodles, his face became even uglier, and finally he admitted that he lost and left.

Two challengers, both lost.

Song Bai won two games in a row, and the opponents he defeated were not ordinary people, but people who were qualified to participate in this food competition. Such a victory was very meaningful, at least it showed that his cooking skills were much better than these two.

The third one went on stage, and he did not choose what he wanted to make at first, but took a shortcut and made steamed buns instead.

Making steamed buns may seem simple, but it is actually very special. First of all, the dough must be fermented. The fermentation of dough is very knowledgeable, and it requires a lot of experience to know what degree of fermentation is best for steamed buns.

Then it was steaming. How long it took to steam and how hot it was were very important. This time Song Bai didn't wait for him to finish before he started. When he started, Song Bai also started.

The flour of both of them fermented for about half an hour, and both used the method of promoting fermentation, and then the steamed buns were put into the pot.

Almost at the same time, the steamed buns of both of them came out of the pot. Both of them had a pot of steamed buns, and each pot had six.

Before the judges tasted it, the man asked himself, took a bite of the steamed bun made by Song Bai, and after just one bite, he showed bitterness on his face. Although he didn't choose his specialty in the end, he chose steamed buns, but he still lost.

His level of making steamed buns is not bad, and he is best at pasta, which means that he still lost to Song Bai in his own area.

The third person also lost, and no one could win the 10 million.

A morning passed, and the competition continued in the afternoon. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng couldn't come in the afternoon. His tasting meeting was still open, and he had to go back in the afternoon to make food for the invited people to taste.

On the website, in the forum, and on the live broadcast platform, it was already completely lively.

Song Bai originally had no supporters, but after he showed up, he gathered a large number of supporters almost instantly, and these supporters were almost all women. It seems that no matter what industry you are in, appearance is very important.

This made Wang Dong very jealous and unconvinced. When he came back at noon, he instigated Gu Zheng to compete.

He believed that Gu Zheng would definitely win if he went up. Song Bai could beat others, but he could never beat Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head at his instigation. It was not that he didn't want to go on stage, but he had concerns. If this person was not a cultivator, he would definitely sign up. Winning would be a good opportunity to become famous, but the other party was a cultivator. If he went on stage, he might expose his identity.

Anyway, he and Song Bai would have a competition sooner or later, so there was no need to go now.

There will be more than 50 people participating in the afternoon tasting, and the number of people has increased a lot. The main reason is that there is a comparison. Without comparison, there is no harm. After the comparison, you will know how good Gu Zheng's things are.

Especially those who attended both tasting sessions, after returning, they told their friends that Gu Zheng’s food was much better than this place. If it was Gu Zheng’s invitation, they would go if they could, and they would never regret it.

As for the tasting session of the participating chefs later, it didn’t matter if they didn’t go.

As a result, he added more people today, reaching more than 50 people, and these more than 50 people returned satisfied in the end.

In the afternoon, Song Bai's competition continued. A total of five people went up to the stage to compete in the afternoon, and all failed.

For a whole day, eight people went to compete, but no one succeeded. The 10 million reward was still there, but unfortunately no one could take it. The five people in the afternoon were different from those in the morning. One of them was in the top 30 of the previous two sessions, and he cooked his own specialty, but he still lost.

This result was even more shocking.

That person's specialty is not something you can see casually on the street. It's a family technique. He can lose with such a stunt, and he lost to someone who used the same ingredients and the same method. Where did this monster Song Bai jump out of?

After eight consecutive competitions, some people with a keen eye also saw the problem.

There are some things that Song Bai obviously has never done. He just watched others do it once, and then did it himself. He actually did it better than others who have been doing it for decades. Although this is hard to believe, after watching the video of today's competition, I have to admit that this is the fact.

Besides, no chef dares to say that he can do everything, not to mention that they all use the same methods and steps. All this shows that Song Bai is a genius, a genius in cooking.

After returning home, Wang Dong held a tablet and kept browsing forums and news.

He was reading all the news related to Song Bai. The forum posted Song Bai's record today. Many people have called for someone to challenge Song Bai and teach him a lesson.

The most called for are three people.

One is Lu Yong, 35 years old. The Lu family used to be the imperial chef of the palace. It has been since the Ming Dynasty, and it was still in the Qing Dynasty. Until modern times, the Lu family has mastered secret recipes unknown to outsiders. It is a real family of famous chefs.

Lu Yong is 35 years old, but he is better than his father. His cooking skills are better than his father's. This is his first time to participate in the Chinese Food Competition. In fact, there were calls for him to participate in the first two sessions. At that time, he was 29 years old and felt that his cooking skills were not good enough. He waited for another six years before finally coming out.

Lu Yong once said that as long as he came to participate in the competition, his goal was to be the first.

Lu Yong had never participated in any competition, but his cooking skills were indeed recognized as good, and he had entered the palace to cook many times. People who wanted to eat his dishes could line up from Beijing to Shencheng, and his dishes had to be booked a year in advance, all at high prices.

Now seeing that Song Bai was so rampant and arrogant, many people were calling Lu Yong to come out and teach Song Bai a lesson first.

Lu Yong was not nominated many times in the forum. Not only ordinary people, but also challengers who had failed before, all hoped that he could come forward and save face.

In addition to Lu Yong, the second person was also named Yong, Yu Yong.

The two had the same name but different surnames, but Yu Yong was much older than Lu Yong. Yu Yong was already 45 years old, and it was not his first time to participate in the Chinese Food Competition. This was his third time.

Although the food competition did not explicitly stipulate how many times one could participate in total, generally, one would not continue to participate after three times, leaving the opportunity to more people.

Yu Yong had previously participated in the last and last sessions, and he did not participate in the two sessions in between.

The first time he participated, Yu Yong ranked eighth. The second time he participated, he got second. This time he was also holding back to get first place. Getting first place is also a success. He is also a strong contender for the championship.

He got second place before, and his cooking skills can be imagined, so everyone is looking for him to come forward.

The third one is Haitao, Si Haitao, 40 years old, participating in the Chinese Food Competition for the second time. He was third in the previous round. He was also a top three contestant. Si Haitao has a unique skill. This unique skill is in his cooking, and others can never learn it. So they thought of letting him come out. Can't Song Bai learn other people's cooking skills? Let's see if he can learn Si Haitao's.

None of the three people responded, but there were a few contestants who had achieved good results and were willing to challenge.

On the fourth page of the forum, there was a post asking Gu Zheng to come forward. It was posted by Wang Dong, but it was a pity that it could not be maintained at all and was quickly turned over. They were also not interested in Gu Zheng. It would be better for Gu Zheng not to go.

In their eyes, Gu Zheng and Song Bai are probably the same kind of people, and they need to be suppressed.

The next morning, Gu Zheng went to Kunlun Hotel again. Today, Song Bai's challenge will continue. Today, several challengers are better than yesterday. Gu Zheng also wants to see how Song Bai will respond.

The first challenger made a very popular dish, braised pork.

He is from Hunan Province. Hunan's braised pork is very famous, and he is the authentic successor. This is also his specialty. He doesn't believe that anyone can make it better than him.

He made it first, and Song Bai did it after he finished. He didn't wait for the judges to eat first, and he tasted the braised pork made by Song Bai first.

The same bite made his face change drastically, and his body trembled slightly.

He has been cooking for a lifetime, using the same ingredients, but he can't beat a young man. He is old enough to be the young man's father, and he has been cooking this dish for more time than the young man.

He really couldn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him. He didn't need the judges to evaluate it. He could taste it himself. Song Bai's cooking was indeed better than his.

The impossible happened just like that.

He didn't leave, but he looked very lonely, sitting there motionless. He didn't leave, and Song Bai's people didn't force him to admit defeat, as long as he admitted it in the end. After tasting, the judges unanimously decided that Song Bai was the winner.

In fact, just by looking at his appearance, the outcome of this comparison can be known. This person was obviously hit hard.

The next three people went up, and without exception, all failed. Gu Zheng had been observing Song Bai. He did exactly what others did, and used the same raw materials. However, Gu Zheng discovered that every time Song Bai did it, his hands would shake, and some powder that was difficult to see with the naked eye would fall into the food.

If it weren't for the reminder of the spirit of the instrument, even he wouldn't have noticed it.

"Ordinary-level flavor-enhancing flower, no wonder he wins every time!"

After the spirit of the instrument explored, Gu Zheng finally knew the name of that thing. It was an ordinary-level raw material called flavor-enhancing flower. As the name suggests, it is a raw material that can increase the taste of food.

This discovery made Gu Zheng feel a little relieved.

Song Bai didn't win the opponent completely by cooking. He took a shortcut, or even cheated. He added raw materials that others didn't use to the food, and they were ordinary-level raw materials that could enhance the taste.

But even so, his cooking skills were not bad. He could make what others made just by watching it once. This was not easy, and he still won.

The flavor-enhancing flower helped him, but it is not omnipotent. If the taste is not good, it will be useless no matter how you enhance the taste. The flavor-enhancing flower can play the role of icing on the cake, but it is not an absolute role.

After understanding it, Gu Zheng left.

Song Bai's cooking skills are not as terrible as he imagined. If Song Bai really watched others cook once, he could do it himself, and he could do it better than others. Gu Zheng has no confidence to win with such cooking skills.

Just watching once, you can make it, which is already a genius. Just watching once, and you can do better than experienced people, this is not a genius, this is a monster, anyway, Gu Zheng can't do it.

Gu Zheng also asked the spirit of the instrument. The current Tiexian can do much better than others without any tricks. But that is the current Tiexian. The Tiexian at the beginning, the Tiexian without any power, can't do this.

Talent is not omnipotent. In many cases, proficiency is also important.

In the afternoon, more than 60 people came to Gu Zheng's side. The reputation of his food spread, and many people were willing to come. Among these 60 people, more than 20 were people who had participated in the Chinese Food Competition. They also told Gu Zheng about their experience in the competition.

These experiences were also very helpful to Gu Zheng.

On the third day, the number of people who challenged Song Bai that day increased to ten. In these three days, a total of 27 people went to challenge Song Bai, and no one beat Song Bai. Song Bai's fame became more terrifying. Not only people in the food industry know him, but now many people outside the food industry also know that there is such a powerful chef.

Song Bai's fame is even greater. In addition to his cooking skills, his appearance has won him a lot of female fans.

On the fourth day, finally a heavyweight player went to challenge. This person was not a player in this session. He had participated in three Chinese Food Competitions and his best result was third place.

In any case, this is also a great person who has won the top three. After he went, many people said that someone was finally going to take away Song Bai's 10 million, and Song Bai would definitely lose this time.

Wang Dong also shouted to Gu Zheng that Song Bai was going to lose, but only Gu Zheng himself understood that as long as he continued to use his flavor-enhancing flower, he might not necessarily be the loser.

The result was the same as Gu Zheng's prediction. Song Bai won again. No one could beat him that day. His record in the ring was undefeated.

Even President Gou went to the competition that day. Song Bai's performance was really amazing. Even President Gou was shocked by him. With Song Bai, Gu Zheng's chances of winning the championship were not that high, but still not small.

President Gou himself was also sighing that the young people in this Chinese Food Competition were more powerful than each other. Not only were they both in their early twenties, but they were also so powerful. Even those old chefs in their forties and fifties who had been immersed in cooking for a lifetime could not beat them.

Normally, cooking skills peak between thirty and forty, and cooking skills are the best during this period. However, modern people's physiques are getting better and better. Even at the age of fifty, cooking skills will not fall behind. With the accumulation of experience, people at the age of fifty can still burst out with very good cooking skills. Therefore, many people at the age of fifty participated in the food competition.

However, there are very few people over fifty, especially fifty-five. Their age and physical strength do not allow them to participate in such competitions. Many people teach apprentices after fifty-five. When they reach sixty-five, basically no one continues to work. Even if someone is rehired, few people will do it.

But no matter how young, they have to be in their thirties like Lu Yong. It is rare to see two monsters in their early twenties at the same time.

On the fifth day, a heavyweight player appeared again. Si Haitao, who had not responded, suddenly came forward. He was also the third, but the third in the upper realm, the forty-year-old Si Haitao.

Si Haitao's appearance made many people cheer, but unfortunately the final result did not let them get what they wanted, and Si Haitao also failed.

Gu Zheng has not been idle these days. His tasting meetings have been held all the time. More and more people have participated in his tasting meetings, and his cooking skills are increasingly recognized. Although Qi Ling did not announce his current ranking, he told him that his fame has been improving and his progress is obvious.

These days of tasting have also changed the impression of many people on Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng is also a young man, but he has always been down-to-earth and has been conquering others with his delicious food. These days, many colleagues who participated in this food competition have come to taste his food and praised him highly. They finally understood why President Gou made such a post.

Although the number is small, less than fifty people, Gu Zheng's external influence has changed greatly. One is modest and only does his own things, while the other is arrogant and sets the stage. Gradually, some people began to compare Gu Zheng with Song Bai.

Let them compare, at least they will not be regarded as the same kind of people, which is also a good thing for Gu Zheng.

On the sixth day, Yu Yong finally participated in the challenge under the encouragement of everyone. He went to fight Song Bai in the afternoon. After a dispute among ten temporary judges, he finally lost to Song Bai.

Although he lost, it was not as obvious as before. His cooking skills were indeed very unique, and the ingredients were also very good. Even Song Bai could not completely imitate him. If it were not for the flavor-enhancing flowers, Gu Zheng believed that Song Bai lost this time.

Yu Yong also lost, which made many people feel sorry for him, and there were more voices calling on Lu Yong.

On the other side, Gu Zheng continues to expand his influence, and more and more people praise Gu Zheng. It is said that Song Bai is very famous, even bigger than Gu Zheng, but people in the food industry don't like it. He, and more and more people are fond of Gu Zheng, and their reputations are growing. The difference is that one is good and the other is bad.

At the same time, the number of people calling for ancient disputes is also increasing, and they are all from the circle.

Even President Gou called and asked Gu Zheng if he had any idea to challenge Song Bai. He wanted to know which of the two young men was more powerful.

On the eighth day, Lu Yong finally showed up at the Kunlun Hotel. The food he made was very complicated and was a palace delicacy. Together, he and Song Bai took four hours to make this food, which took up half of the day. .

The ten judges were not professionals and ultimately failed to decide who was good and who was bad. We hired ten more professional judges and finally decided that Song Bai won.

Song Bai won again, but this time it was a narrow win. Lu Yong lost, but he was convinced.

This was a unique skill that he had done many times and was good at. He was sure that Song Bai couldn't do it, but Song Bai had seen it once and did it. For this alone, he admitted that he was not as good as Song Bai.

Song Bai's cooking was as delicious as his, but he actually lost.

He was willing to admit defeat and admitted that he was not as good as Song Bai. He also said that Song Bai had already been determined as the champion of this Chinese Food Competition, and he believed that Song Bai would definitely win in the end.

He also said that Song Bai was the most outstanding and outstanding culinary genius he had ever seen.

Song Bai also spoke this time. He said directly that he must be the number one this time and that no one else could get it. Many people were disgusted by his words, but there was nothing they could do about it. Even Lu Yong lost to him. Who can beat him?

His comments made Wang Dong very angry. Wang Dong encouraged Gu Zheng again, but unfortunately Gu Zheng ignored him at all. Now he already knew his fame ranking. Currently, Song Bai is the first and he is the second, but Song Bai is the second. Bai has a bad reputation, and he has a good reputation. A good reputation has a much greater influence than bad reputation. If he continues, he will definitely surpass Song Bai and become the most famous player.

Fame is also divided into big and small, just like scoring, it is divided into one, two, three, four and five. Nowadays, many people give Song Bai a score, but most of them are one or two points. Fewer people give Gu Zheng a score, but basically They are all four or five points, so Gu Zheng may eventually surpass Song Bai in fame.

The day of the Chinese Cuisine Competition is getting closer and closer, and the test time is getting shorter and shorter. Gu Zheng once again sent out more than a hundred invitations. He almost invited people from the capital. Now he invited famous chefs from other places. Fortunately, there is a food competition in Beijing recently, and many people are willing to come.

"There's no way he can take first place. A cheating guy actually dares to claim to be first place. It's so shameless!"

As soon as Wang Dong finished telling Gu Zheng what happened today, what Song Bai said, and Lu Yong's evaluation of Song Bai, Qi Ling shouted in Gu Zheng's heart, looking very angry.

"The descendant of Tiexian triggers a temporary test, and the test cannot be refused. Lord Tiexian appreciates young people with high cooking skills and talents, but cooking must be in the right way, and evil ways are not allowed. It is cheating in itself, and it is shameless. It really slanders the chef. !”

Qi Ling said quickly, while Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, a temporary test, what is it? He still has a test that he has not completed yet, why is there another one, and it is an irresistible test.

"Wait a minute, Artifact Spirit, didn't you say you can't conduct two tests at the same time?"

Gu Zheng asked urgently, and Qi Ling immediately said: "Two formal tests cannot be conducted at the same time, and temporary tests do not count. Temporary tests generally will not affect the test at that time, and may even help the ongoing test. So it’s allowed!”

After Qi Ling finished speaking, he continued: "The content of this test is to defeat Song Bai and expose Song Bai's tricks on the spot. If you win, you will be rewarded generously. If you fail, the ongoing test will be deemed to have failed!"

There was actually such a thing as a temporary test, and Gu Zheng was speechless.

Little did he know that Qi Ling now wanted to force him to increase his strength and enter the prehistoric era as soon as possible. He would not let go of any opportunity for a test. If Song Bai had just cheated secretly, it would not have triggered this test, but after he cheated, he still spoke nonsense. , let the weapon spirit feel that it can trigger a test, and then told Gu Zheng.

For Gu Zheng, he didn't expect that after going around in a circle, he would go in the end.

In fact, Gu Zheng didn't want to go. He was a little uncomfortable with Song Bai's cheating behavior, but he didn't look down on it. He suddenly felt that he was cheating too, but in a different way.

He cheated because he was able to improve the ingredients, improve the quality of the ingredients, and make more delicious food. Others did not have this ability and could not find good ingredients, so they were inferior to him in terms of ingredients.

Song Bai cheated by secretly using flavor-enhancing flower powder. The properties were different, but the results were the same.

"You idiot, fool, fool, why did I choose you in the first place!"

Gu Zheng told Qi Ling his doubts, but Qi Ling scolded him.

"You can improve ingredients, that's your ability, what does it have to do with cheating? Just like your athletes here, some people are born with long legs and can run faster. Is it cheating for those who run slower? Some people are flexible , has strong explosive ability and is better than others on the court. Is it cheating because he is more flexible than others? "

Qi Ling scolded Gu Zheng fiercely, but Gu Zheng stood there blankly.

Qi Ling is right. His ability to improve ingredients is indeed his ability. In this world, there are many people who are born with stronger abilities than others. It cannot be said to be cheating.

When it comes to cheating, it’s God cheating.

"Look at that Song Bai again. What did he do? He added the same ingredients as promised, but secretly added other things. What is this? This is real cheating. It's like you athletes drink doping. This is Not allowed!”

Qi Ling continued to talk, it knew a lot about this world now, it even knew about stimulants.

"I understand, thank you, Qi Ling!"

Gu Zheng chuckled. In fact, he was also fooled and got into trouble. After being scolded by the weapon spirit and waking up, he found that although the final results of himself and Song Bai were similar, the processes were indeed completely different.

He is upright, and it is his ability to improve the ingredients. He brought better ingredients to the competition, and there was no violation. Song Bai said that he used the same ingredients as others, but secretly added ingredients, which is shameful in itself. Behavior, Gu Zheng thought that he was the same as him, which was an insult to himself.

"Wang Dong, please check how to sign up for Song Bai's arena and see if you can sign up tomorrow morning!"

Gu Zheng suddenly gave Wang Dong instructions. Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up happily. Gu Zheng finally agreed to participate in the ring. He believed that as long as Gu Zheng went, Song Bai would definitely lose.

The reason why he went in the morning was because Gu Zheng had a tasting party in the afternoon, and he couldn't delay the afternoon tasting.

There are not many people signing up for Song Bai's ring. The main reason is that Song Bai's performance in the past few days has been too eye-catching. Even Lu Yong and Yu Yong lost. Others are looking for humiliation. Those who have self-awareness are not here. Went.

In addition, Song Bai also restricted the qualifications for registration. Only contestants who have participated in the Chinese Food Competition or this year's contestants are qualified to challenge him, and no one else can.

There are not many such people, which means they suddenly rejected the challenge of many ordinary chefs.

Wang Dong quickly contacted the Kunlun Hotel. They were the ones accepting registration now. When they learned that it was Gu Zheng's challenge, they quickly responded and allowed the challenge. Gu Zheng said it was in the morning, so it was in the morning, and he was the first. field.

Early the next morning, the driver took Gu Zheng to the Kunlun Hotel.

After Wang Dong registered his name yesterday, he posted on the forum that Gu Zheng was going to compete in the ring this morning and Gu Zheng would definitely win.

After Lu Yong and Yu Yong had lost, there was only one Gu Zheng left who had hope of beating Song Bai. Chairman Gou had a very high opinion of Gu Zheng, saying that if others didn't work hard, the champion would be fell into the hands of Gu Zheng.

Song Bai, on the other hand, suddenly emerged from nowhere. He immediately stepped onto the stage and challenged all the heroes. After so many days, no one could defeat him. This shows how powerful he is.

There are more people in the Kunlun Hotel today. This time, more than 200 contestants from the 300 contestants came, and more than 200 people from the previous years were present. Many people from the Food Association were also present, and even President Gou came again.

He was also very curious as to who of these two young men was more powerful. He had eaten both of their food. In terms of taste, Gu Zheng seemed to be stronger, but Song Bai couldn't judge it from ordinary people. They are all other people's specialty dishes, but they can still be cooked well. No one knows how his own specialty dishes will taste.

In the entire restaurant, as many as six to seven hundred people from the food industry alone came, forcing the Kunlun Hotel to close the restaurant and not open it to the public except for some media.

This time, it became an internal competition.

Gu Zheng was the first one and the only one this morning. Originally, there were few people who signed up today. After Gu Zheng was announced, all other challengers were queued up in the afternoon.

"It's a fight between the dragon and the tiger. I don't know whether the dragon will win or the tiger will be better!"

An old man sighed with emotion, and his companion jokingly asked: "Tell me first, who is the dragon and who is the tiger?"

"Of course Song Bai is the dragon, and ancient Zheng is the tiger!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Song Bai is a dragon crossing the river, and Gu Zheng is a local tiger. Although neither of them is from the capital, Gu Zheng is a member of the Food Association anyway. He has participated in the Hangzhou Food Competition, and his father is Gu Ming. He is one of our internal children. , who is this Song Bai? He is neither from the Food Association nor has he participated in any competitions. He doesn’t know who jumped out of the gala. Can a strong dragon not overwhelm a local tiger? "

The old man spoke slowly there. In fact, he was not the only one who had this idea, but most of the people present.

Gu Zheng is not a local, but he is indeed a member of the Food Association. He also owns a restaurant and has a pot of century-old soup. In addition, he belongs to a family of chefs and has won good results in the Hangzhou Food Competition. Everyone has a good impression of him. Certain recognition.

However, this recognition is relative. Song Bai has no reputation and is so arrogant. When everyone is dissatisfied with Song Bai, they naturally have a great change in their views on the challenger Gu Zheng.

Song Bai came out, and Gu Zheng also walked forward. He had seen many people compete here before, but he never thought that he would come at that time.

The things he brought were very simple, eggs, sesame oil, salt and water. He did not compete with Song Bai in other things, only in omelette. Although omelette is simple, it is a culinary skill of Tiexian. It is absolutely impossible for people to learn omelette cooking by watching it once.

Gu Zheng walked to the front and divided the ingredients into two.

Eggs, sesame oil, water and salt are all very simple. Gu Zheng's omelette has long been famous. Seeing Gu Zheng take out these ingredients, many people were not surprised. Some people who have eaten Gu Zheng's omelette could not help but nod.

Gu Zheng's omelette is very unique. The omelette that looks like a work of art is not something that others can imitate. Many people are wondering whether this evil Song Bai can make the same omelette as Gu Zheng.

Not to mention the same taste, just the same appearance is very scary.

"Gu Zheng, I know you!"

Song Bai looked at Gu Zheng and said softly. He should have been the youngest contestant, but he didn't expect that he was impersonating Gu Zheng, who was younger than him.

The title of the youngest was taken away by someone.

"Can we start?"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and didn't talk nonsense with him. He came with a test. This time, he not only had to beat him, but also had to expose him on the spot.

It was not easy to expose Song Bai. He was a cultivator himself, but fortunately he was only in the middle stage of the third level, a little lower than Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng didn't have to worry about him being angry and attacking after exposing him.

If he really did it, he was not Gu Zheng's opponent.

"Please!"

Song Bai stretched out his hand to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng picked up his frying pan and started to make fried eggs. He did it in front of many people. Many people saw his frying action, including Song Bai.

Pouring oil and beating eggs, there was no difference.

Gu Zheng's hand began to move the frying pan, but Song Bai frowned. Song Bai's observation ability was very strong and very careful, otherwise he would not be able to see what others did once. Gu Zheng's hand shaking looked like frying eggs, but the frequency was very fast, which was not something that ordinary people could do.

Not only that, the strength of Gu Zheng's hand was also very strong, and ordinary people would not have such strength.

Song Bai narrowed his eyes. Although they were just small details, these small details had already made him see that Gu Zheng was different from others, and Gu Zheng was likely to be a cultivator like him.

Only cultivators can have such frequency and strength.

Gu Zheng's fried eggs were made very quickly. In one minute, the whole fried egg was formed. It was as white as jade and as yellow as marrow. The fried egg, like a work of art, was presented to everyone again.

Gu Zheng stood by and made a gesture to Song Bai.

He was done, and it was Song Bai's turn next.

Song Bai stood over and used the same pan as Gu Zheng before, the same oil, the same eggs, and the same water to wash the pan.

His eyebrows suddenly twitched. He was recalling the process of Gu Zheng making fried eggs, but he found that it was somewhat incoherent during the recall. This was something he had never encountered before.

No matter who it was, no matter what kind of cooking skills, he could remember them completely after watching them once. This had never happened before.

"What kind of cooking skills are you doing?"

Song Bai couldn't help but ask. If he couldn't remember them coherently, he couldn't copy other people's cooking skills. He would have to make the next food himself, completely according to his own methods.

This was different from his previous changes. He improved because he had a better way. Gu Zheng's cooking skills were equivalent to him not learning them at all. He could only make his own fried eggs according to his own understanding.

"Fried egg cooking skills!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly. He knew very well that the cooking skills of Tiexian were definitely not something that others could learn by watching them once. He had made fried eggs so many times and understood the extraordinary nature of fried eggs.

Even if he has learned it, he can't teach others now. Many things cannot be described or expressed in words. If he can learn it by watching it once, then he is not a cultivator, but a powerful existence like the Immortal.

Gu Zheng believes that Song Bai will never learn to make fried eggs by himself.

Gu Zheng's answer made Song Bai choke. He snorted coldly, poured oil, heated the pan, and prepared to beat the eggs.

The previous steps were almost exactly the same as Gu Zheng, but after the eggs were beaten in, they did not stay motionless in the pan like Gu Zheng, only the pan was moving.

When Song Bai turned the eggs, he did not have the beauty of Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's eggs were like a dancing elf, while Song Bai's eggs were just eggs, without giving people any strange feeling.

Soon, Song Bai's fried eggs were also done. His hand shook slightly, and a light powder fell all on the fried eggs.

Gu Zheng's mouth corners slightly raised, and he said nothing, nor did he stop it.

"It's different!"

"That's right, it's not as good-looking as Gu Zheng's!"

"It's too different!"

Many people looked at the fried eggs made by Song Bai and couldn't help but say that Gu Zheng's fried eggs were as white as jade, white was white, yellow was yellow, without any pits, like a perfect work of art, people who didn't know would really treat it as jade.

Although Song Bai's omelette also achieved the separation of white and yellow, it was not as artistic as Gu Zheng's omelette. His omelette was also very flat, but underneath the calm surface was blurry. Unlike Gu Zheng, the whole omelette was The fried eggs are all translucent, otherwise they would not be mistaken for jade.

In terms of appearance alone, Song Bai's omelette has already lost, losing a lot to Gu Zheng.

"I knew it!"

Wang Dong clenched his fist fiercely. He believed that Gu Zheng would definitely win. He had always believed it. Now that he saw Song Bai making fried eggs, he believed that Gu Zheng would win even more.

This kind of omelette is definitely not as good as the one made by Gu Zheng.

“The most important thing about food is taste, only if it tastes good!”

Song Bai snorted coldly. After so many competitions, this was the first time he took the initiative to speak after the competition. The judges had already eaten Gu Zheng's omelette just now. Although they ate less, they at least tasted a little bit.

Song Bai's fried eggs were also sent over. Before sending them, Gu Zheng suddenly stopped them: "Can you leave some for me? Just a little will be fine!"

The staff all looked at Song Bai, who nodded slightly. In the past few days, challengers wanted to taste a lot of the things he made. Most of them did not trust the judges. After eating them themselves, they found that his taste was really good, so they gave up. .

He regarded ancient disputes as such.

Each of the ten judges took a small bite. Although it was small, at least they could taste it.

After eating, the ten people were stunned and looked at each other. Song Bai stood there quietly, looking very confident.

He knew very well that even if his cooking skills were not better than the other's, as long as his cooking was good, he would definitely win with the flavor-enhancing flowers. The flavor-enhancing flowers could greatly enhance the taste of the food.

The simpler the food, the stronger the improvement. This is an omelette, which is definitely not complicated. Even if the same ingredients are not used, his flavor-enhancing flowers can improve the taste and surpass the past.

It's a pity that he didn't know that his flavor-enhancing flowers were good, but there was a disadvantage in the flavor-enhancing flowers, that is, the lower the grade of the ingredients, the higher the taste. On the contrary, the higher the grade of the ingredients, the higher the flavor. Flowers can only improve things in a limited way. Guzheng's eggs, sesame oil, salt, and even water are all of ordinary level, the same level as the flavor-enhancing flowers. The flavor-enhancing flowers can improve the taste, but not much.

The added flavors did not make up for the lack of cooking skills.

All ten judges ate it. Song Bai's omelette tasted not as good as Gu Zheng's.

They have been here for so many days, and the food made by Song Bai always tastes better. Even if there is a dispute, it is so different that it is difficult to judge. As the saying goes, everyone has their own preferences for yellow radish, and they have different tastes. , the tendencies are also different.

But this time it was different. This time they all truly felt that Song Bai's taste was not as good as Gu Zheng's.

"On behalf of everyone, I announce that Gu Zheng will win with eight votes, Song and Bai will get two votes!"

One of the judges stood up and read the results loudly. After he finished speaking, many people were stunned.

"Oh, yeah!"

Wang Dong was the only one who excitedly held his hand. He knew that Gu Zheng would win. Gu Zheng could not lose. The winner this time was really Gu Zheng.

There were so many people in the audience, most of whom were in the food industry. They were really looking forward to Gu Zheng defeating Song Bai at first, but when the result was announced, they couldn't accept it. If they won, just win like this?

"impossible!"

Song Bai suddenly shouted. He didn't believe that he would lose. Even if he only made omelettes, he would still do well, not to mention that there were flavor-enhancing flowers. With the flavor-enhancing flowers, he couldn't lose.

"What's impossible?"

Gu Zheng asked suddenly, and Song Bai turned around sharply and stared at Gu Zheng.

"You can win, why can others win?" Gu Zheng asked again, very quickly and with sharp words.

"Of course I can win for my own reasons, but I can't lose anyway!"

Song Bai said quickly. He didn't believe he would lose. It didn't matter if he couldn't learn the other party's cooking skills. He couldn't learn everyone's cooking skills. It would be good if he could learn something similar.

But with the flavor-enhancing flowers, he definitely didn't believe that he would lose.

"You have a reason, what reason?" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng asked again, very quickly.

"My reasons are my own secret, you don't need to know!"

"Secret, the secret of the flavor-enhancing flower?"

Gu Zheng suddenly smiled faintly. Song Bai's body shook violently and he looked at Gu Zheng in shock.

Gu Zheng suddenly stepped forward. He was already stronger than Song Bai, and he also had the ethereal body illusion technique. Song Bai was in shock again. The two were not so close, and Gu Zheng grabbed his arm.

Gu Zheng shook his hand, and a delicate little kit came out from Song Bai's arm.

"Song Bai, I admire you if you really rely on your ability to win others, but since you said you use the same ingredients, why did you add this flavor-enhancing flower to the ingredients? Do you really think that no one knows about you? Trick, everyone is helpless against you? "

The temporary test task was not only to defeat Song Bai, but also to expose him on the spot. Gu Zheng was not meant to do such offending things, but he had no choice but to do this for his own test.

"You, how do you know the flavor-enhancing flower?"

Song Bai was extremely shocked. His secret was the flavor-enhancing flower. He didn't expect Gu Zheng to know about it. Moreover, Gu Zheng had allowed him to add the flavor-enhancing flower to the omelette before, but he didn't care at all. This Gu Zheng was not a simple person. The cook, he is an absolutely terrible person.

"If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself!"

Gu Zheng said calmly, and then continued: "I know you have good talent, and I also know that you have the ability to remember everything you see, and you can learn other people's cooking skills. If you really win others by your ability, we will all respect you and praise you, but you are not. You secretly added something that others don't know, and added flavor-enhancing flowers that greatly help the taste. This is the key to your victory. You are cheating!"

Cheating?

Hundreds of people at the scene were in an uproar, especially those who had failed in the previous challenge.

No one thought that Song Bai was cheating. In this way, their loss was really unfair. They said that they would use the same ingredients, but he secretly added something, which made them lose. Many people felt wronged.

"You are a cultivator!"

Song Bai looked at Gu Zheng, gritted his teeth, and said one word at a time. He spoke in a low voice, and only the two of them could hear it.

"You are the same?"

Gu Zheng smiled faintly. He did not deny it. He had grabbed the other person's arm. If he was not a cultivator, how could he have caught him? He would have revealed his identity long ago. However, he was not worried. The other person was the same as him. They were originally the same kind of people.

"This is just a brocade bag, not a flavor-enhancing flower. I have never heard of flavor-enhancing flowers!"

Song Bai suddenly broke away from Gu Zheng's hand, picked up the brocade bag, and said softly. After being caught in the act, this guy actually began to deny it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I have the fried eggs you just made here. I also took out some of the powder from your brocade bag. President Gou is here. I can give these things to him. Now technology is very advanced. It is completely possible to identify whether there are the same ingredients in it!"

Gu Zheng stepped forward and gently collected some powder from the table. This was all spilled from the brocade bag just now. He took out something wrapped in a small plastic bag.

After hearing Gu Zheng mention himself, President Gou came out. There were staff members around him. They quickly took back the fried eggs and powder from Gu Zheng's hand.

"We will do the appraisal. If it is really as Gu Zheng said, we will consider your character and your eligibility to participate in the Chinese Food Competition!"

President Gou said slowly. He did not expect Song Bai to cheat. If that was true, then Song Bai was too shameless. It was a pity for his good talent.

President Gou was a wise man. He knew very well that even if Song Bai really cheated, he still had the talent to learn from others after seeing them do it once. This person is indeed a culinary genius.

Having such a talent and still cheating is a character problem.
