Chapter 273 Top Ten Advancement

It smells so good, but it doesn't taste like that. I don't know how uncomfortable I feel.

The fragrance of the two people also caused some interference to many contestants in the competition. The strong fragrance made them feel hungry. This was only a physical impact, and the mental impact was even greater.

The food they made was incomparable with such a strong fragrance. This was only the first day of the competition. Who was so powerful that he released such a strong fragrance.

Some judges and people from the Food Association were also discussing in a low voice.

As bystanders, they knew more, especially President Gou and his friends. They had eaten the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng. The fragrance of the chicken blood soup was smelled at once, but this fragrance was stronger than before.

As for the other one, they also knew that it was made by Song Xiu.

Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup is very famous, and Song Xiu made pork rib soup. His pork rib soup can be compared with Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup in terms of fragrance. This Song Xiu is not simple.

Although President Gou did not approve of Song Xiu's participation in the competition, he was still very sure of Song Xiu's cooking skills.

Dragons fight tigers, another dragon fight tigers fight, but I don't know who will win this time. This victory is different from the previous one, and this victory is even more meaningful.

The winner this time is also very likely to be the first place in this Chinese Food Competition.

Within five miles, the two fragrances are entangled with each other, but five miles away, only the fragrance of Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup is left. The venue of this competition is in the palace, which is in the city center. This time, more people smelled the fragrance of Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup.

Many people are asking about the source of this fragrance.

Song Xiu's soup, put winter melon in, the fragrance immediately became lighter, the fragrance became lighter, but it does not mean that the temptation is reduced.

The addition of winter melon makes the fragrance become fresh, and the temptation is increased. Many people are more hungry when they smell it, and they want to eat this kind of fragrant food, but unfortunately many people don't even know what food is.

Gu Zheng understood that without the mid-level ingredients like Anxiang, his fragrance would not be so strong and spread so far, but having better ingredients is also his capital. Unlike Song Bai who cheated before, his ingredients are not bad either.

You can't say that my ingredients are not as good as yours, so I don't accept you because you do a good job. That's really a loss.

Although Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup is slower than Song Xiu's, the good ones are faster than him. It was quickly served and let the judges taste it first.

The chicken blood soup with six high-grade ingredients is more flavorful and fragrant. This is basically the limit of the ingredients that chicken blood soup can add. If there are more, the therapeutic effect will exceed the tolerance of the human body, which is not good.

After drinking a mouthful of chicken blood soup, the twenty judges all nodded.

The taste of this chicken blood soup is really nothing to say. It is the best soup food they have ever tasted. High scores are certain. There is no problem in advancing to the next round with this score. It depends on his final score.

As soon as Gu Zheng's tasting was over, Song Xiu's winter melon and pork ribs soup was served.

He was only two minutes later than Gu Zheng. Two minutes later, his winter melon and pork ribs soup was ready. The soup was light, with a small piece of winter melon floating in each bowl and a small piece of pork ribs at the bottom of the bowl.

After rinsing their mouths and calming down, the judges began to taste the winter melon and pork ribs soup.

After just one sip, their eyes suddenly lit up. They had just eaten a chicken blood soup that they thought was the best soup, but they didn't expect to encounter the same delicious winter melon and pork ribs soup. The taste of this pork ribs soup was comparable to that of the chicken blood soup. The two were basically between Zhongbo and Bo, both so perfect and delicious.

If a few judges were really asked to comment, they couldn't say which one would be better. There was no way to compare them. If they only evaluated these two foods, they would rather give a tie.

However, this is a competition, and they will not be asked to judge whether it is a tie or not. They must give a score.

The score will be removed from the highest score and the lowest score. The remaining average score is the final score. Even the judges themselves don't know how much this score is. Only the leaders of the organizing committee and the food association can see it in the background.

"They scored the same!"

President Gou and the others looked at the backstage. When the scores of the two came out, they were all stunned. Although each judge's score was different, their final scores were the same, and both were extremely high.

Other venues also prepared delicious food, and the judges also scored it, but it was far behind them.

Their scores were destined to advance, and they had already taken an advantage in future competitions. Both of them scored above 9.9, which was a rare high score.

After making the chicken blood soup, Gu Zheng packed up his things and left the competition venue.

In the Chinese Food Competition, you have to wait until all the competitions are over before you can leave. Even if you have finished the competition, you can't leave now. You have to wait until all the contestants have finished the competition. Even if you can leave, no one will leave because the results will be announced on the spot.

Song Xiu didn't leave either. He sat quietly on the side. He ignored someone who came up to talk to him.

There are no special circumstances today. The competition will end in two hours. The results will be announced half an hour after the competition. The list of those who advance will be announced. Those who do not advance can come tomorrow, but they can only come as spectators and will not be eligible to continue to participate.

Many people are extremely nervous, thinking about their performance, thinking about the expressions of the judges when they taste, and not knowing what score they can get this time and whether they can advance.

If you can't advance, this competition will be equivalent to running with you and stop there.

There are also some people who have never thought about advancing, so they smile all over their faces and don't care at all. For them, being able to participate is already the biggest victory. They are self-aware and know the gap between themselves and others.

Although they are all among the most famous chefs in the country, there is also a hierarchy between famous chefs and famous chefs.

Just like a table tennis match, there are actually many outstanding players across the country, but only a few can really be remembered by everyone. Those few are the best, and others are also capable, but they can't compare to them.

Half an hour passed quickly, and all the contestants in the palace, including the supporters waiting outside, fell silent.

At this time, the only people left outside are the real supporters. The people hired by the players left after the players entered the field. They will not wait outside all the time.

There are probably less than 2,000 people outside the palace now, and there are more than 600 supporters of Gu Zheng, accounting for a full third. His supporters are also the largest.

There is no big screen outside the palace. People outside have to check the results online. When the results are announced in the venue, they will be announced on the Internet at the same time.

"Come out, come out!"

A supporter of Gu Zheng shouted first, and then many people took out their mobile phones and refreshed there. The official website of the food competition has been updated, and the list of contestants who have advanced on the first day of this food competition has been announced.

There was a big screen in the venue, and the big screen also displayed the promotion list.

Three hundred people, many of them held their breath, hoping to see their own names on the list. Having their own names proves that they have advanced. Even if they fail to advance in the next game, they will still be in the top thirty.

Being among the top 30 in the country sounds much better than being among the top 300.

The names are sorted by formal letters. There are thirty names, no more, no less. You can't tell anyone's achievements from the name alone.

The results and rankings of the top 30 will not be displayed. This is a rule that has been in place since the first session.

"Gu Zheng, with the name Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng has advanced!"

Outside, a supporter of Gu Zheng shouted excitedly. Sure enough, Gu Zheng was among the thirty list, and Gu Zheng successfully advanced on the first day.

Although no one had any doubts about Guzheng's promotion before, this is after all the highest level competition in the country. No one knows whether there will be any surprises. It is not that it was not predicted that the ranking was very high before, but in the end, it was not even the top 30. Players who failed to advance.

After seeing Gu Zheng's name, they calmed down.

Gu Zheng was already in the top 30. At the same time, many other supporters outside also found the names of the players they supported. Those with names sighed, while those without names were very upset.

Gu Zheng saw his name at first glance, and then he saw Song Xiu.

Song Xiu was promoted like him, but it was not clear what Song Xiu's results were, nor was he aware of the specific scores of the two in this match.

This is the first game. You have to advance to the top 30, but that doesn’t mean you will be delicious if you advance. In every subsequent game, the scores from this game will be added to calculate the total score, so the first game is actually the most important one. game.

Gu Zheng originally broke up to make a new food. The new food was also made with Tiexian's cooking skills, and the score would definitely not be low. He discovered that Song Xiu had medium-level ingredients, so he decided to change the food temporarily, thinking that he would be the first. Get a better score in the game, which can lay a good foundation for the future.

Of course, he also wanted to suppress Song Xiu. They were all Tang, which was easier to compare. He didn't know whether he succeeded in suppressing him this time.

"Brother Gu, we won!"

Wang Dong looked at the big screen and shouted happily and excitedly. This is the Chinese Food Competition, not the original Hangzhou Food Competition. This is the most famous and influential competition in the country.

Being able to participate in this competition will make you famous, let alone achieve a good ranking in such a competition.

"Looking at how excited you are, Gu Zheng will definitely win, and he will continue to win!"

Chang Feng said something contemptuously to Wang Dong, but the slight beating in the corners of his eyes betrayed his mood at this time. In fact, he was also very excited. He expected Gu Zheng to win, but at this moment, with his own eyes, Witnessing Gu Zheng's promotion, he couldn't control his emotions at all.

"Store manager, the boss wins!"

At Guji Chicken Blood Soup, the store manager was busy when an employee hurried over. He had previously asked this employee to keep an eye on the official website of the competition and tell him any news.

"Great, hurry up, hang up the posters we prepared in advance!"

In Shanghai, people in the Guji Chicken Blood Soup shop have been paying attention to this competition, especially when they heard that Gu Zheng made chicken blood soup in the first game, which has a different meaning.

The store manager had already had people prepare celebratory and promotional posters for Gu Zheng after his promotion, and they could put them up and put them up as soon as Gu Zheng was actually promoted.

Not only are there those who are in the top ten, but he is also preparing for the top ten, the top three, and even the championship, each time getting more and more powerful.

The employees in the store were very excited that Gu Zheng was promoted. This was their boss. Their boss was a person who participated in the Chinese Food Competition and was a contestant who was predicted to win the championship. They were all very proud of this.

Now that Gu Zheng has entered the top thirty, he is one step closer to being the predicted champion.

After the results were announced, the day's competition was over. Tomorrow's competition would be held from 30 to 10, which would also be held in the afternoon. Gu Zheng left immediately. He did not leave, but went to the door to meet the supporters who had been waiting.

Not only together, he also took these people over to treat them to a big meal.

Everyone had dinner happily, and Gu Zheng left. All the supporters were very excited and satisfied. They did not come in vain this time, and Gu Zheng did not disappoint them. They would continue to go there tomorrow and continue to support him outside with their own actions.

After the results of the competition came out, major food channels, food websites, food TV stations, and newspapers began to report on the food competition. Not only domestic websites, but also foreign websites reprinted it.

The Chinese Food Competition is the most influential competition. For Chinese food, it is the best in the world.

The thirty people who advanced were all named one by one, and then predicted who would enter the top ten. Regardless of who predicted, Gu Zheng was basically in the top ten list. His previous performance was too dazzling, especially the chicken blood soup he made this time, the fragrance spread so far, if it weren't for Song Xiu's pork ribs soup, there would be more people praising him.

Gu Zheng's advancement to the top 30, coupled with the reports, made Gu Ji's chicken blood soup restaurant more popular. It was still sold out at 4 pm, but there were many more people waiting. Some people didn't want to leave even if they couldn't get a number.

If you can't buy chicken blood soup, buy noodles to eat. If you can't buy noodles, buy roast chicken or bucket chicken, these are gone, even if you have to buy a bottle of water for 18 yuan, you have to take something away from here.

The cheapest thing in Gu Zheng's store is mineral water, 18 yuan a bottle.

But he was not the only one who sold it at such a high price. Other shopping malls and supermarkets also sold it at the same price. No one had ever raised any objections to the price of this mineral water. On the contrary, the store only sold this kind of water, which proved that the store had very strict requirements for food and would not bring bad things into the store.

Roasted chicken, chicken in a bucket and mixed noodles were the best proof.

The next afternoon, Gu Zheng arrived at the palace early. Gu Zheng's supporters arrived earlier than him, holding banners and horizontal plaques and waiting there.

When Gu Zheng arrived, they cheered again, and some people took out their mobile phones to do live broadcasts. There were quite a few people in the live broadcast room, several thousand people, basically all of whom were Gu Zheng's supporters last time.

Even if these people could not be at the scene, they would support Gu Zheng where they were and wait for Gu Zheng to triumph.

They hoped that this time would be the same as last time, and Gu Zheng would continue to lead them to win the championship. The difference from last time was that they were all in Beijing this time. If Gu Zheng could really win the first place this time, then they would be truly triumphant.

Triumph.

For you.

Gu Zheng secretly swore in his heart that this was a group of the cutest people. Their only wish was to get better results and hope that they could perform better in the competition.

In fact, Gu Zheng knew very well that even if he did not perform well and really stopped, these people would not leave him, but would comfort and encourage him.

These people had no distractions in their hearts and were really only doing good for him.

Gu Zheng entered the venue. Today's 30 to 10 was not as fierce as yesterday's 300 to 30, but it was also a three-to-one elimination match. Once lost, they would have to say goodbye to this competition completely and there would be no possibility of continuing.

It was precisely because of the fierceness of the elimination match that the top three of the Chinese Food Competition were so valuable. They were all masters who had truly fought out of thousands of troops and horses, and they were all well-deserved chefs.

Thirty contestants were all in one venue, and there were still twenty judges.

The Chinese Food Competition did not have as many judges as the Hangzhou Food Competition, mainly because the Hangzhou Food Competition was the first one, and Hangzhou had found so many judges in order to convince more people.

The more judges there are, the harder it is to control the Anxiang.

The thirty contestants are all at the venue where Gu Zheng competed yesterday. Like yesterday, it is open air. Tomorrow's top ten competition will be held in the main hall of the palace. There will be two competitions tomorrow, and the top ten will be decided in the end.

In the second game, Song Xiu actually took out another medium-level ingredient, and it was not the Anxiang from yesterday, but a different one.

The ingredient he took out this time is called Baikucao. It sounds like a very bad thing, but it is a good thing that can improve the overall taste of food.

Baiku does not mean that everything is withered, but that everything is reborn and exudes new vitality. This is a very good ingredient, and the level has reached the medium level. Just this ingredient can add a lot of points to Song Xiu.

Medium, medium again. Gu Zheng's ocean flower will not mature until tomorrow. He has no medium-level ingredients at all now.

Emei does have it, but it is a high-level ingredient. Gu Zheng does not plan to use such ingredients in this Chinese Food Competition. After all, it is Emei's private property, and Gu Zheng does not want to waste it for them.

If it can't be used on Emei, it would be a waste.

The food Song Xiu is going to make today is another very common popular dish. This time it is not soup, but a stir-fry, the most common fried tomato and eggs.

Fried tomato and eggs, to participate in the Chinese Food Competition, people who don't know will definitely think this person is crazy, only Gu Zheng is worried.

Tomato, ordinary level, eggs, ordinary level, Kunlun's ingredients seem to be ordinary level, not even a second-rate one, Gu Zheng thinks how difficult it is for him to collect all the ordinary level, but they are simple, everywhere.

The other party has medium-level ingredients, Gu Zheng pays more attention to it. The delicacy Gu Zheng made this time is steamed fish.

Without medium-level ingredients, he can only improve himself from the cooking skills. Although steamed fish is not made many times, it is a cooking skill inherited from the immortal Tie, and other ingredients can be added to steamed fish to enhance the flavor, which can make the steamed fish taste better.

This time, steamed fish is different from before. One is enough.

Just like when making chicken blood soup, Gu Zheng added six high-level ingredients. No more can be added. Six is ​​the upper limit, otherwise the human body cannot support it.

If it is made for practitioners, it doesn’t matter if a few more are added. Their bodies can bear it.

Song Xiu put the cutting board away. Noticing his cutting board, Gu Zheng was even more speechless.

This cutting board is actually made of wood with excellent quality, and it has a certain age. Although excellent wood is just wood, not ingredients, cutting vegetables on such a cutting board will not only not affect the food, but also add a little excellent fragrance.

This cutting board really exudes a faint fragrance.

Kunlun was rich and powerful, and Gu Zheng couldn't compare. After seeing it, he stopped looking and made his own steamed fish with peace of mind.

Song Xiu cut the tomato again. The tomato was neither too big nor too small, and it was very bright. It looked a bit like the genetically modified tomatoes on the market, but such tomatoes were much more delicious than genetically modified ones. Such tomatoes were not available on the market at all.

Not to mention cooking, even eating it raw would make people praise it.

Song Xiu cut a piece, and a sour and sweet smell spread out. It didn't spread far, and only people around could smell it. Gu Zheng was one of them.

This sour and sweet smell aroused his appetite again.

Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. The ordinary-level ingredients, the juice fell on the excellent-level chopping board, and the smell exuded had a natural temptation. Not to mention him, even the cultivators would be aroused by the appetite.

Gu Zheng held his breath, stopped thinking about other things, and handled the fish in front of him with peace of mind.

His fish was also ordinary-level, but it was a pity that he didn't have an excellent-level chopping board, otherwise the smell would also arouse the appetite of others.

Song Xiu cut the tomatoes very slowly, and put them together one by one.

If someone looks carefully, they will find that the tomatoes cut by Song Xiu are all the same size, and even the same weight, not at all different.

His knife skills are also rarely matched.

After cutting the tomatoes, Song Xiu took out a bowl and beat the eggs.

Noticing Song Xiu's bowl, Gu Zheng was speechless again. This time it was not made of high-quality materials. This bowl was actually a fairy weapon. Not to mention that someone made a fairy weapon into a bowl, it would be absolutely a waste to use such a fairy weapon to cook or beat eggs.

Many small sects outside don't even have a fairy weapon.

When beating the eggs with the fairy weapon, Gu Zheng noticed that the egg liquid he beat was more mellow and more evenly distributed. What Gu Zheng could do with the water control formula, he did again with the fairy weapon.

Really, you can't underestimate the heroes of the world. Even if they don't have fairy skills, they can still use other methods to improve their cooking skills.

After beating the eggs, Song Xiu caused trouble and poured oil.

Just like Gu Zheng making fried rice with eggs, he did not use ingredients such as scallions and ginger. Gu Zheng did not doubt that Kunlun had ordinary-level scallions and ginger, but after the ingredients reached a certain level, the demand for scallions and ginger was really not that great, and it was better not to use them.

Ordinary-level eggs do not have any fishy smell, and do not need scallions and ginger to remove the fishy smell. The fragrance of scallions is too strong, which will suppress the fragrance of eggs. Therefore, generally speaking, at ordinary levels, scallions and ginger will be put aside and not used.

Song Xiu was obviously the same. He did not use scallions and ginger, and simply used tomatoes to fry eggs.

For scrambled eggs with tomatoes, some people put tomatoes first, some people put eggs first, and some people put them together. Song Xiu was different from these people. He put a little tomato first, and then put a little egg after frying it for a few times. After the eggs were formed, he put tomatoes, and then eggs.

He put them one by one in the pot in a cycle.

The result of this is that the sour and sweet taste of tomatoes and the fragrance of eggs are constantly released, impacting everyone's sense of smell.

Gu Zheng's sense of smell is more sensitive than others. He is close to the food and can smell it most clearly. The ingredients of ordinary level are very tempting. Even if he is cooking delicious food, his stomach will still react.

"Sedative spell!"

Gu Zheng quietly cast a calming spell on himself to stabilize his mind. He cannot be distracted during the process of making steamed fish. He cannot let the influence of the fragrance next to him cause mistakes in his cooking.

The steamed fish with six kinds of high-grade ingredients has a stronger fragrance.

When Song Xiu was frying tomatoes and eggs, the fragrance of steamed fish gradually spread out. The two fragrances fought together again, and neither could suppress the other.

Many people showed helplessness when smelling these two fragrances.

Thirty top chefs in the audience were cooking delicious food at the same time, but unfortunately no one could compare with these two people. The food made by others also had fragrance, but it was not smelled at all if you were not close. If you were farther away, it would be dispersed by these two fragrances.

The only opponent of these two fragrances was each other. After countless strangulations in the air, no one could do anything to the other in the end.

Song Xiu's food for today was ready first. Fried tomato and eggs were easy to make and he served them.

Song Xiu's fried tomato and eggs were very different from those made by ordinary people.

Song Xiu's tomato scrambled eggs had no juice at all, but the eggs were still beautifully golden. Because his tomatoes and eggs were put in every other time, the eggs were all fused with the tomatoes. They were not sticky, but fused, as if the two had grown together.

This looks simple, but it is actually not easy to do.

This requires a very high level of cooking skills. Without certain cooking skills, it is impossible to do this. Moreover, without the assistance of fairy kitchen utensils, Song Xiu could not do it so well and so perfectly.

The judges picked up a piece, put it in their mouths, and tasted it carefully.

Those who have eaten tomato scrambled eggs are nodding their heads. It smells good and tastes even better. Although tomato scrambled eggs are popular food, there may never be anyone as good as Song Xiu's. This tomato scrambled eggs can still taste the taste of tomatoes and eggs, but it is a thousand times, or even ten thousand times better than ordinary tomato scrambled eggs.

Such delicious food, each judge ate up everything in front of him, without any leftovers.

Gao Feng, Song Xiu's fried tomato and eggs still got a Gao Feng. Gu Zheng knew that his fried tomato and eggs were a delicacy with medium-level ingredients, which surpassed him in terms of the level of ingredients. His current advantage was the cooking skills of the immortal and his immortal power.

The cooking skills of the immortal were a cooking skill that others could not imitate or make. Cooking skills were also very important to food. If the cooking skills were 4 points and the ingredients were 4 points, Song Xiu's cooking skills were equal to 3 points and the ingredients were 4 points. In Gu Zheng's case, it was 4 points for cooking and 3 points for ingredients.

Although the two had different strengths, the food they made tasted similar and was delicious.

The other two points were immortal power. Song Xiu did not have immortal power, but he had immortal kitchen utensils and bowls, which made up for the deficiency. The scores of the two were the same.

Gu Zheng's steamed fish was ready, and he was the second person to make a good food.

The judges rinsed their mouths, slowly tasted Gu Zheng's steamed fish, and finally nodded together.

This is another delicacy that shocked them and completely conquered their taste buds. It is a great fortune to encounter one such delicacy at ordinary times, but they did not expect to encounter two today.

Not only today, but also yesterday, the cooking skills of these two people have indeed reached the pinnacle.

The judges were thinking that such a contestant would be the absolute champion in any previous Chinese Food Competition, an overwhelming champion, and no one could compare.

But the two of them happened to meet each other, and even the judges felt a kind of "why is there Liang when there is Yu" feeling in their hearts.

These are two real geniuses, absolute geniuses, and the two got very high scores. President Gou and others hurriedly looked through the judges' scores in the backstage and were shocked to find that this time, the scores of the two were the same again.

They were the same twice in a row, and even President Gou couldn't help but think, these two people will not always have the same score, and finally get a tie for first place, right?

At present, the scores of the two are indeed tied for first place, and they are much higher than the second place. As long as there is no accident later, the first place will definitely be between the two.

The two-hour competition ended quickly. Today, because one dish required longer time, overtime was applied for, and the competition was extended by half an hour.

After two and a half hours, the competition ended, and the results would also be announced in half an hour. Today, more people were waiting for the results. At Gu Ji Chicken Blood Soup, the store manager had put down all the work in his hands and was sitting there swiping his phone.

As long as the results came out and Gu Zheng continued to advance, he would immediately hang up the poster that Gu Zheng had advanced to the top ten. This was the pride of their store and his pride.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the website and the big screen in the venue announced the list of advancers at the same time.

There were only ten people in the 30-to-10 competition, and the list was clearer and easier to read.

"Gu Zheng advanced!"

Outside, a supporter of Gu Zheng cheered immediately. Gu Zheng's name was on the list of advancers, not only him, but also Song Xiu, Lu Yong and others.

The list of the top ten was similar to the previous prediction, but Yu Yong had a problem and failed to enter the top ten. This player who had previously entered the top three performed poorly this time and stopped in the top ten.

This also made everyone sigh that on a platform like the Chinese Food Competition, there really can't be any carelessness. No matter who you are, if you are careless or careless, you may be eliminated. After being eliminated, you will never have any chance to turn over.

There is no resurrection match in the Chinese Food Competition.

"Hang it up, hang it up!"

The store manager looked at his mobile phone and excitedly directed the employees in the store. The poster of Gu Zheng's advancement to the top ten was quickly hung up. The top ten and the top thirty are different. Even if Gu Zheng only goes here, his name will surely spread all over the country.

The most important thing is his age. He is the youngest. This is his first time to participate. He has such a result for the first time. Who can guarantee that he will not get better results in a few years?

Of course, the higher the result of this session, the better. The store manager also hopes that Gu Zheng will win the top three, or even win the first place as President Gou said.

"Gu Zheng, congratulations!"

After the top ten list came out, many people came to Gu Zheng to congratulate him, and the eyes of these people were very complicated.

Top 10, Gu Zheng really made it to the top 10, and according to his current performance, he is likely to make it to the top 3. If that happens, Gu Zheng will definitely set a new record, the youngest top 3 record.

Song Xiu is not much either, and he also has a great chance of making it to the top 3, but Song Xiu is already 30 years old. There are many players in history who have made it to the top 3 at the age of 30, so his record is not a record.

The treatment is different when you enter the top ten.

The top ten are the truly recognized top masters. Even people like President Gou respect the top ten very much. This is why the top ten are ranked, and the top thirty are not ranked.

There is no shame in ranking in the top ten, even if it is the tenth, it is also a kind of pride.

At the beginning of the Hangzhou Food Competition, the organizing committee persuaded Zhao Fu to participate, but it took a lot of effort and made a lot of promises in private.

Because Zhao Fu had a top ten result, Zhao Fu was respected by everyone during the competition. It was also for this reason. Unfortunately, even he didn't expect that the first place was not him, but was taken away by someone else.

I don't know if it was a blow from the Hangzhou Food Competition, or if he knew that Gu Zheng would participate in this competition, Zhao Fu did not participate in this Chinese Food Competition. He is still young and can participate in the next one.

There is another advantage for the top ten contestants, that is, they are eligible to participate in the next food competition without any recommendation or invitation. If you don't want to participate, you can postpone it. This is a privilege for the top ten.

Gu Zheng entered the top ten, the top ten in the country. Before he left the palace, his cell phone started ringing. Gu Ming was the first to call him to congratulate him.

Gu Ming also participated in the Chinese Food Competition and won the third place, but he was already in his thirties at that time, much older than Gu Zheng is now. Gu Zheng has surpassed his master.

In fact, Gu Zheng did not learn cooking from Gu Ming, but Gu Ming did have a great influence on him, so it is not an exaggeration to say so.

"Brother Gu!"

Wang Dong hugged Gu Zheng excitedly. The top ten, the top ten in the country, they finally got it.

Although it was not him, Wang Dong was happier and more excited than he was to achieve such a result. He secretly swore in his heart that it was Gu Zheng who was participating in the competition here now, and he must work hard in the future to improve himself and have the qualifications to participate in the competition here.

He will definitely get a good result like Gu Zheng when he comes to participate.

There were as many as twenty or thirty people who came to congratulate Gu Zheng. After all these people left, Gu Zheng was able to separate and leave in a hurry.

Outside the palace, there are more than 600 friends waiting for him and supporting him.

They said that there will be more than 200 people coming to the final tomorrow, and there will be more than 900 people supporting him outside the scene. They hope to witness a miracle with Gu Zheng and witness Gu Zheng win the championship again.

This time, Gu Zheng did not say that he would definitely win the first place like last time. This time he has a strong opponent, Song Xiu. If this opponent is not there, Gu Zheng will definitely dare to say such a thing.

With him, whether he can win the first place, Gu Zheng is really not sure.

"Qi Ling, I remember I have another chance to choose my own cooking, right?"

When he returned home at night, Gu Zheng locked himself in the room and immediately asked Qi Ling. He had a reward of choosing his own cooking when he completed the test last time, but Gu Zheng had never used this reward.

"Yes, do you want to choose now?" Qi Ling responded immediately.

"I want to choose a cooking skill that best uses the ocean flower!"

The ocean flower will mature tomorrow. After it matures, he finally has a medium-level ingredient that he can use, but he doesn't have the cooking skill to match the ocean flower now.

"Ocean flower is a versatile ingredient. It can be placed in many foods. No special cooking skills are needed!"

The spirit of the weapon suddenly said, and Gu Zheng was slightly stunned. How could he forget this? When the spirit of the weapon gave him the ocean flower, it did tell him that the ocean flower can be matched with many kinds of food.

"Then choose one of my current ingredients that can make the best food!"

Gu Zheng immediately changed. Ocean flower can be used for any food. This is the best. Although tomorrow is the last day, there are two games, one for the top ten rankings, and then the top three rankings.

Gu Zheng wants to be the first, and he longs to get the first place. However, under the current circumstances, if he wants to get the first place, he needs to make full preparations. It is very important to choose a food that suits him best.

"With all the ingredients you have now, I recommend a cooking skill, fish-flavored honey chicken!"

"Fish-flavored honey chicken?"

Gu Zheng was slightly stunned. The name sounded strange. He knew honey chicken. His first test was to make this, but what was fish-flavored honey chicken?

"Fish and chicken are not easy to match. Generally speaking, these two foods must be cooked separately. The two ingredients are in conflict. Putting them together will not only fail to highlight the taste of the two, but will cause a conflict and the taste will become very bad. Master Tiexian discovered this situation in his early years, and then he has been studying these two foods. Finally, he created a cooking skill that perfectly blends the taste of the two foods, called fish-flavored honey chicken!"

The spirit explained that Gu Zheng now has fairy chickens and fairy fish. Although the lightning bees are not yet cooked, the young lightning bees can still collect honey. He collected some ordinary-level honey. The amount is not much, but it is enough for him to make honey chicken once.

"Okay, I'll choose this cooking skill!"

After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng finally nodded heavily. He now cooks both chicken and fish, but he has never blended the two. It is not easy to blend the two. Even if someone cooks the two together, the taste of one ingredient will completely suppress the other. There is no way to release the characteristics of both.

Such cooking skills are eye-catching.

"The descendant of the Taoxian, choose your own cooking skill, fish-flavored honey chicken!"

Following Qi Ling's words, Gu Zheng saw the young man in white again, smiling at him and cooking delicious food.

Fish-flavored honey chicken, chicken and fish must be cooked together first. The key to cooking is to make the flavors of the two ingredients blend. A true blend can bring out their respective strengths and make up for their respective shortcomings.

After blending, the taste of the fish will become weak due to the long cooking time, and you will give up.

The taste of chicken is better at this time.

The cooked chicken is added with honey and other ingredients and steamed together. The final product is fish-flavored honey chicken. There is no smell of any fragrance. Just watching the young man in white cook it again makes Gu Zheng feel like his mouth is watering. Come down.

Just looking at the presentation, this fish-flavored honey chicken is very good.

With his self-selected cooking skills, Gu Zheng put his bad mind at ease and entered the prehistoric space to practice again. In the prehistoric space, he took another Immortal Yuan Pill. He now has a sufficient number of Immortal Yuan Pills.

In the last test to become famous, the weapon spirit actually rewarded him with forty immortal essence pills. Forty pills, it took him more than half a month to digest one pill. How long does it take to digest these forty pills?

Including the Xianyuan Pills he had stored before, he had more than eighty pills, which were enough for him to practice for several years.

However, the reason why there are so many rewards is because there is a temporary test in his fame test. The combination of the two gave him such a reward. The weapon spirit has never been stingy with Xianyuan Dan. It is eager to compete with others. Practice more and reach the realm of Golden Immortal as soon as possible, so that you can go to the wilderness as soon as possible and let it see Tiexian again as soon as possible.

Gu Zheng got up early the next morning. After practicing yesterday, he was in good spirits today.

Gu Zheng's Tie Xian Immortal Technique has been growing steadily and slowly. He did not practice at a high speed as soon as he obtained the magic technique like the protagonist in the TV novel. Until now, he has been practicing at a normal speed.

In the eyes of the weapon spirit, this speed is already very slow.

At least Gu Zheng can't compare to the original Tiexian. He has enough Immortal Yuan Dan and has practiced for more than half a year. Now he has only reached the 50th percentile of the second realm of Tiexian's Immortal Art. If he had been replaced by Tiexian, he would have already reached the third realm. .

Gu Zheng's cultivation speed has always given the weapon spirit a headache.

Wang Dong didn't get up until he came back from a run. He smelled the aroma of breakfast made by Gu Zheng and got up quickly.

No matter how sleepy he is, he must eat the food made by Gu Zheng, and he cannot sleep in for the food made by Gu Zheng himself.

Nowadays, Guzheng has become completely famous. It is currently ranked among the top ten in the country in the Chinese Food Competition. In the future, more and more people will want to eat Guzheng’s delicious food. Many people who want to eat may not be able to eat it, and they may not be able to queue up.

"I should have followed Brother Gu from the beginning, not the master!"

Gu Zheng made fried eggs and ordinary rice soup, but they were all ordinary ingredients and tasted particularly delicious.

"Uncle Hu will probably be very sad if he hears what you said!"

Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at Wang Dong. Uncle Hu was really good to him, but he taught him carefully and even planned to pass his small shop to Wang Dong in the future. He didn't even give his own son to that shop.

"Don't worry, the master will not be jealous. He has said many times that he wants me to learn more in the future, combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, and create my own characteristics!"

Wang Dong chuckled, and Gu Zheng looked at him, but his heart suddenly moved.

Wang Dong himself doesn't know that he already has his own characteristics, but he has not yet used them well.

Wang Dong's understanding of the Tao of Yin and Yang is his characteristic. In the past, Gu Zheng could not help him, but now Gu Zheng is the head of Emei. Wang Dong cannot learn his immortality cultivation method, but he can use the ancient martial arts method to enter the Tao. Woolen cloth?

If Wang Dong can also practice, firstly, it can increase his strength. His strength is also a drawback that limits his cooking skills. Secondly, it can help his understanding.

If Wang Dong also learned how to cultivate inner strength, possessed inner strength, and had better ingredients, would he be like Song Xiu, with such good cooking skills and able to make such good food?

This is not impossible.

Although Emei is not a big place, there is no problem in providing Wang Dong with some ordinary-level ingredients.

"Qi Ling, at Wang Dong's age, can he still practice?"

It was best to ask Wuyou this question, but it was troublesome to contact Emei, so Gu Zheng simply asked Qi Ling directly.

"Why do you ask so suddenly?" Qi Ling asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just thought about it. Wang Dong is a good kid. If he can cultivate his inner strength, it will be of great help to his cooking skills, so I asked!"

"Normally speaking, Wang Dong can no longer practice cultivation. His bones are formed and his internal organs have no innate Qi. He cannot cultivate his internal energy at all. Inner energy must be cultivated from an early age!"

Qi Ling spoke slowly, and Gu Zheng showed disappointment on his face. Qi Ling suddenly said, "But Lord Tiexian has a method of food cultivation called marrow-washing food cultivation, which allows people who are not qualified to practice again, whether it is Either immortal power or internal energy can be used. Marrow cleansing food cultivation is an advanced food cultivation method. Do you want to learn it?"

The words "Qi Ling" sound very tempting no matter what.

Gu Zheng understood that when the weapon spirit asked this question, there would definitely be another test next. If he wanted to get benefits from the weapon spirit, firstly, it was a test, and secondly, he had to do something to make it happy, otherwise it would be impossible.

"You tell me what kind of test you need to accept, I will take it!"

Gu Zheng said slowly. This time it was Qi Ling's turn to be surprised and couldn't help but ask: "How do you know you have to accept the test? You are willing to accept it without even asking any questions?"

"If there is no test, will you give it to me?"

Gu Zheng rolled his eyes and continued: "Since only a test can complete the marrow cleansing and food cultivation, and I want to help Wang Dong, I can only accept the test. If there is another way, do you think I am willing!"

Indeed, the only way to help Wang Dong is to practice marrow-cleansing food cultivation. If you want to obtain marrow-cleansing food cultivation, you must accept the test of the weapon spirit. This is simply a matter of no choice.

He could also ask Wuyou, but he didn't think Wuyou had a better solution than Qi Ling. If he had, Emei wouldn't have so many disciples who couldn't cultivate their inner strength.

Lack of physical fitness and inability to develop inner strength through cultivation are an important factor restricting the development of Emei.

Marrow cleansing food cultivation not only allows people like Wang Dong who are unable to practice to practice again, people with poor physical fitness can also have the physique of cultivation after taking marrow cleansing food cultivation.

Marrow cleansing, bone cleansing and marrow cleansing are equivalent to reshaping the physical body. No wonder this is an advanced food cultivation method.

"That's right. Seeing that your attitude is so sincere, I won't give you any difficult test!"

The weapon spirit seemed to be very pleased, and suddenly his tone changed, and he said again: "The descendant of Tiexian, I take the initiative to ask for a test. This test is a voluntary request. You can't give up, you can't refuse, the test starts from now!"

Gu Zheng rolled his eyes. Of course he would not give up or refuse if he took the initiative.

"This test requires the descendants of Tie Xian to win the championship of the most important event they participate in for the first time. There is no limit to this test. If you succeed, you will get marrow cleansing, food repair and other rewards. If you fail, you will be severely punished!"

After Qi Ling finished speaking, he stopped talking.

"That's it. This test is to win the championship?"

Gu Zheng was slightly stunned. Qi Ling said he would give him an easy test, but he did not expect that the test would be this. This was his first time participating in the most important event. The championship was always his goal, even without this He will work hard even if there is a test.

Besides, there are no restrictions on him in this test. No matter how you look at it, the weapon spirit seems to be helping him.

"Don't think it's so simple. After the test is released, I can also get some information here that you can't think of. In today's final game, you have only one opponent, Song Xiu. He has prepared three medium-level ingredients for this final. , except for water, the quality of other ingredients in the delicacies he made this time reached medium! ”

Qi Ling spoke slowly, while Gu Zheng was startled and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.

This Song Xiu is so perverted. Except for water, all the ingredients are medium-level. Is it possible that he wants to make delicacies with all medium-level ingredients?

The gap in ingredients can be made up for one kind by Gu Zheng's cooking skills, but there are three kinds. Even he has no confidence that his cooking skills can completely make up for it.

He also has one kind, but in this way, it is still two different, and he has a lot of ordinary ingredients, ordinary plus medium, and mostly medium, the taste result is definitely different.
