Chapter 275: No Comparison, No Harm

"The Way of Yin and Yang!"

Gu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly. After understanding the Tao of Yin and Yang, he has actually been unable to better integrate into the cooking skills. He has always used Tiexian's cooking skills directly.

Before, Tie Xian's cooking skills were enough for him.

If it were a normal Chinese food competition, these would indeed be enough. Without Ouyang Hai coming and his ingredients, Gu Zheng would be able to win this competition, but this time there is one more Song Xiu and one A cultivator chef, a chef who also has many high-quality ingredients, and is even better than him in terms of ingredients.

This chef's cooking skills are not bad, and he is assisted by magical kitchen utensils. If he doesn't use some skills, Gu Zheng really has no confidence that he can beat him.

"I understand, thank you Qi Ling!"

The Tao of Yin and Yang was first discovered by Gu Zheng in Wang Dong and his cooking skills.

Later, Gu Zheng used the Yin and Yang Pill to understand the Tao of Yin and Yang, but he never integrated it with his cooking skills. He only used the Tao of Yin and Yang when making wine and successfully brewed fairy wine.

Gu Zheng himself doesn't know what the fusion of yin and yang and cooking will look like.

But one thing Gu Zheng is sure of is that after Tiexian's cooking skills are integrated with the Tao of Yin and Yang, the taste of food will definitely be enhanced. To what extent it can be enhanced, Gu Zheng is not clear.

The ingredients for both of them have been placed, and many people's eyes are on the two of them.

Of the three contestants, Chu Yuan has the least attention. In fact, many people who understand can see that the final champion will be between Gu Zheng and Song Xiu. Chu Yuan is just a character who accompanies the prince to study. He is a dark horse. It won’t be dark anymore.

Especially President Gou and the others, because they know everyone's scores and know that it is almost impossible for Chu Yuan to surpass the two of them, and their scores have been stretched.

Even if these two people make something ordinary, as long as they are not too bad, Chu Yuan cannot win.

In comparison between Song Xiu and Gu Zheng, what Gu Zheng cooks seems to be more satisfactory. After all, his ingredients include chicken and fish. It seems that he is making food related to chicken and fish.

Many people were thinking this, but soon opened their mouths.

"Why did he cook chicken and fish in the same pot?"

"It's hard to control the taste. Many masters have tried to blend the two, but many have failed!"

"That is, is Gu Zheng in a hurry and wants to find another shortcut?"

Many people were talking there. There was no live broadcast, only people inside the venue could see it, and only they were guessing. People outside were waiting quietly.

"I have met Gu Zheng twice, and he gave me the impression that he is not a reckless person!"

President Gou shook his head slightly. He had indeed seen Gu Zheng twice. The first time was Gu Zheng's tasting party. Gao Lao invited them to come. Previously, the Food Association owed Gu Zheng a favor, so they had to go.

But after going there, he found that he had gone to the right place and was not disappointed. Gu Zheng's cooking skills were really strong and even he was conquered.

The second time was when Song Bai was in the ring. Gu Zheng went to compete. He was very impressed by that day. Gu Zheng acted extremely calmly from beginning to end. Even though Song Bai cheated, he still won the cheating Song Bai in the end, and also won exposed his trick.

Gu Zheng's stability was the most profound memory in his mind.

"But why did he do this? It's too risky!" The person next to President Gou said.

"Perhaps he is fully confident that the flavors of the two can blend together!"

President Gou said lightly. At this moment, he suddenly regretted not being a judge. Only the judges could taste the food made by Gu Zheng. Otherwise, even if he was the president of the Food Association, he would not be able to taste it.

He could ask Gu Zheng to make it again after the game, but he would definitely not be able to eat it on the spot today.

Gu Zheng's chicken and fish had been stewed together. On Song Xiu's side, he had killed several insects. The sandworm's method was very simple. The inner force directly shattered the brains of the insects, and the insects suddenly became quiet.

His method of cooking insects is also very unique. He does not fry or fry them, but boils them.

Through Qi Ling, Gu Zheng learned that the skin of the joy bug is actually very thick, and the most delicious part is the meat inside. Direct frying is not as effective as boiling. The cooked meat is the tenderest, and it easily blends with the taste of other ingredients. blend.

Song Xiu began to put other ingredients into the pot, and the first thing he put in was medium-level sugar.

With medium ingredients as main ingredients, medium ingredients as auxiliary ingredients, and high-quality ingredients as auxiliary ingredients, it is impossible for ordinary people to defeat him with such delicacies. Fortunately, Gu Zheng is not unable to deal with it.

Gu Zheng's chicken and fish were slowly boiling in the pot. Gradually, Gu Zheng closed his eyes.

With his eyes closed, Gu Zheng always held the handle of the pot with his hand, and the power of Yin and Yang came from his palm.

The pot is closed. If anyone could see what was going on in the pot, their eyes would definitely widen. The chickens and fish in the pot were slowly rotating around the pot, and there was a curved line between them. Gradually, , the fish turned white and the chicken turned black.

The soup in the pot is like a Tai Chi diagram.

Song Xiu suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Zheng, who had his eyes closed. He didn't know what Gu Zheng was doing, but he noticed the difference between Gu Zheng and Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng was a little different from before. Gu Zheng was a cultivator, and it gave Song Xiu the feeling of showing off his sharp edge. But now, if he hadn't deliberately looked at Gu Zheng, he wouldn't have discovered the existence of Gu Zheng at all. Like an inconspicuous roadside stone, people don't pay attention to him at all.

Song Xiu didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but he was sure that the other party must have used a method he didn't know to improve his cooking skills.

After seeing Gu Zheng, Song Xiu added his second ingredient, a hay-like item, which was also a medium-level ingredient.

After adding it, Song Xiu also closed his eyes and used his inner strength to control the immortal kitchen utensils with peace of mind.

No matter what Gu Zheng did, he just had to do his best and make the food that made him most satisfied. In this way, even if he lost, he would lose without regret.

"Why did these two people close their eyes?"

Many people were talking with surprise. Gu Zheng and Song Xiu both closed their eyes and boiled the soup in the pot. Chu Yuan, on the other hand, was so busy that sweat was exposed.

Two static and one moving, very obvious.

Because Gu Zheng integrated the Yin and Yang, fewer people paid attention to him. Most of them were watching Song Xiu. Even the judges were the same. They basically paid attention to Song Xiu.

An hour passed quickly.

Neither Gu Zheng nor Song Xiu moved. Most of the food they cooked before was finished within an hour, but this time, both of them took more than an hour.

Chu Yuan was still busy, and his progress was obvious, unlike Gu Zheng and Song Xiu, who did not move at all.

Ten minutes later, Gu Zheng moved first. He took the chicken out of the pot, and the fish had disappeared. The whole fish had been dissolved and completely integrated into the chicken. This was the fish-flavored chicken.

The color of the fairy chicken was originally white, but when it was taken out, it became red and white.

Fish-flavored honey chicken needs to be added with honey. Unfortunately, the lightning bee did not collect medium-level honey, otherwise Gu Zheng would be more confident in this competition.

Gu Zheng evenly spread the honey on the chicken and put it back into the pot, this time steaming it.

At the same time, Gu Zheng stuffed other materials into the chicken's stomach, and the high-quality diamond fruit had been ground into powder by Gu Zheng, and it was stuck with honey and all spread on the chicken.

Gu Zheng added all the ingredients that could be added.

The honey chicken was steamed in the pot for fifteen minutes. Gu Zheng opened the lid of the pot, and a pungent sweetness rushed out. Song Xiu frowned violently.

And Chu Yuan, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned.

Not only him, but many people around who smelled the fragrance also showed a dazed look. This fragrance went straight to their brain nerves. Everyone seemed to be in a garden, playing happily in the garden, surrounded by colorful flowers.

"My dish!"

Chu Yuan suddenly screamed. He was participating in a competition, and the consequences of losing consciousness would be very serious. His dish was almost ready, and the impact of losing consciousness was not great.

Everyone was distracted, including the judges, and they were all conquered by the fragrance.

"Not bad, it finally looks good!"

The spirit of the instrument said with satisfaction. The food that Gu Zheng made now could really be seen by it, but it was just good to look at. Compared with real food, it was still far from it.

Gu Zheng now looks a bit like an immortal chef, at least he has the image. If he doesn't meet the standards of an immortal chef, the spirit of the weapon is too lazy to look at him.

Immortal chefs also make immortal world delicacies, which are provided to immortal cultivators. Ordinary people will be affected even if they smell them, let alone eat them. Fortunately, the one made by Gu Zheng did not meet the standards of real immortal world delicacies, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to eat it.

The steamed fish-flavored honey chicken was carried out by Gu Zheng.

The aroma of fish-flavored honey chicken can affect people's consciousness, but fortunately the aroma does not spread far like chicken blood soup. If that were the case, it would be a big trouble, and I don't know how many traffic accidents would happen on the street.

Looking at the honey chicken in front of the judges, many people couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

This is the real delicacy. It makes people feel extremely comfortable just by smelling it. It's a pity that they can't eat it. There are quite a few people who envy and envy the judges. Fortunately, no one loses their mind, otherwise these judges will be miserable.

"Please taste and comment, judges!"

After Gu Zheng served it, he said softly that this was the first delicacy he made by integrating the Yin-Yang Theory. Even he himself didn't know what the result would be of the combination of the cooking skills of the immortals and the Yin-Yang Theory.

A staff member helped to separate the fish-flavored honey chicken, and each judge had a small piece of chicken.

A judge put the chicken in front of him into his mouth and chewed it gently. After chewing a few bites, he stayed there again. After a while, tears suddenly flowed down, and soon his face was covered with tears.

Not only him, but other judges who had eaten the food made by Gu Zheng soon cried like him.

One judge was even more serious, lying there and crying loudly, and the scared staff ran over to ask what happened to him.

The judge shook his hand again to show that he was fine, and then the staff left in confusion.

Twenty judges, all of whom ate Gu Zheng's fish-flavored honey chicken, were crying, which stunned everyone around them. It's not like there haven't been judges who cried after eating contestants' food before, but it was rare and it was only a few cases. It's not like this time, all the judges were crying, crying.

Some people were thinking, could it be that Gu Zheng put onions next to the chicken, a lot of them?

But no one saw that Gu Zheng prepared onions, or other ingredients with the same properties as onions, and he added them in, so the judges cried like this?

"After eating the food made by Master Gu today, I feel that I have no regrets in my life!"

A judge suddenly said this, and the other judges nodded. The staff hurried forward to remind them that the judges of the food competition do not comment on the food while eating, but wait until the end to make a unified comment.

He said these words, which was equivalent to violating the rules.

The judges stopped talking, and Song Xiu's food was ready. The original insect-like appearance could no longer be seen. What was served was a small piece of food that looked like pastries.

Song Xiu's food did not bring out that kind of pungent fragrance.

However, the food he made was not ugly, and it made people very appetizing. It was just that the twenty judges had just eaten the food made by Gu Zheng, and they were still savoring it, and did not want to eat anything else.

"I am very glad that I am a judge, but I regret it!"

A judge said that whether he wanted to or not, he had to taste the food in front of him. This was his job and his responsibility.

The other judges all agreed with him and were glad to be judges because only judges could eat the kind of food that Gu Zheng had just made. It could no longer be evaluated as a delicacy. It was truly a divine delicacy that only existed in heaven and could only be eaten by gods.

Regret was also because of their status as judges, which forced them to continue eating and eat other things, affecting their aftertaste.

A judge rinsed his mouth several times before picking up the piece of thing that looked like a delicate pastry, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

Before eating, he thought of the bugs before and couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.

Fortunately, the food he made didn't look like a bug in the end, otherwise he really didn't know if he could eat it in his current state.

After taking a small bite, the judge immediately stayed there again.

Not only him, but the other twenty judges were the same. As long as the judges who had taken a bite were in a daze.

They seemed to have entered an illusion again. This time they were not in the flowers, but in a warm and comfortable cocoon. They closed their eyes and enjoyed the peace around them incomparable comfort.

This is an indescribable feeling.

This feeling made them unwilling to open their eyes, unwilling to think about anything, and just wanted to stay quietly. This was a comfort from the soul that made them unable to stop.

One minute, two minutes.

Many judges did not move, which surprised the people around them. It was not until three minutes later that a staff member walked over carefully at the signal of President Gou.

The staff member just reminded a judge, and the judge suddenly burst into tears again and cried there.

Not only him, but other judges were also like this. Some cried and were sad and lay on the table, their bodies were wet.

"What's going on?"

Everyone was extremely surprised. They were like this when they ate Gu Zheng's food before. Now after tasting Song Xiu's food, they are still like this?

Could it be that both of them put something with onion properties in it? If so, then this is a big joke. Two of the top three made something that made the judges cry after eating it. It was just a prank.

However, this possibility is really small. Besides, after the judges cried before, they all looked moved and no one protested.

If Gu Zheng really added something that made people cry, some of the judges would have slammed the table long ago. That would be a prank.

And now, the judges are crying while eating. Nothing of Song Xiu's food was wasted. They ate it all. If it was a prank, they would be stupid to eat like this.

"I never thought there would be a second such divine wine!"

"Yes, it's worth it to eat such delicious food!"

"But how do you decide which one is better between the two?"

"I feel that Gu Zheng's is better, and the feelings of Gu Zheng are more sincere. Song Xiu's is also very, very good, but if the two are really compared, I will vote for Gu Zheng!"

"I also think Gu Zheng's is better!"

"I think Song Xiu's is better, but both are perfect, I can't find any flaws in them!"

The judges were discussing in a low voice. How to score became their biggest problem. Both foods were so perfect, and they didn't want to reduce any points for each food.

"I give ten points, all ten points!" A judge suddenly said with judgment.

"I want ten points too!"

"Me too!"

"Pay attention, this is against the rules. No matter how many points you want to give, you can give it yourself, and you can't say it!"

Ten points, full marks. It's not that no one has ever received ten points in the history of the Chinese Food Competition, but it's very rare, and they are all very individual phenomena, and at most one judge each time. Unlike this time, several judges said it out loud.

Saying it out loud is a violation, but the judges seemed to have violated the rules quite a lot today.

"Judges, please taste the food I made, thank you!"

The food of the last contestant, Chu Yuan, was also ready and served. The judges looked at each other and had the same feeling as before, but whether they wanted to or not, they had to eat and taste it.

"Ah, ugh"

After rinsing his mouth, a judge vomited as soon as he bit into it. Chu Yuan hadn't walked far yet and was completely dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

Was the food he made so unpalatable that the judges vomited?

"Sorry, sorry!"

The judges also knew that their behavior was a bit excessive, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "I have just eaten two kinds of delicacies that are not of this world. I am still covered with the aftertaste of delicacies. To suddenly eat such an ordinary food, I instinctively Can't stand it.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

It's like a person who has been eating hard and bitter steamed buns and suddenly eats two white flour steamed buns and braised pork. If he goes back to eat steamed buns again, he will feel very uncomfortable.

The other judges also began to taste Chu Yuan's delicacies, and soon, many judges frowned.

Although the reaction was not as big as this judge's reaction, and he vomited it out directly, his face was not pretty either. Without comparison, there is no harm. I had just eaten two excellent delicacies, and now I have exchanged them for such an ordinary thing. It's strange that I can get used to it. .

In fact, Chu Yuan's cooking is not bad. He is a famous chef after all. But compared with the previous two, he is far, far behind. He is not on the same level of food at all.

The three people's scores were quickly completed, the judges left the stage, and then it was time to announce the results.

It took half an hour to summarize. Everyone, inside and outside, was looking forward to it. Backstage, President Gou and the others were completely stunned.

All the results of the three and four games were before them.

Fortunately for Chu Yuan, he performed very well in the front, so he took third place. However, the results of Gu Zheng and Song Xiu were so shocking no matter how you look at them, especially the results in the last game.

In the ancient competition, the first game scored 9.93 points, the second game scored 9.95 points, the third game scored 9.98 points, and the fourth game scored 10 points.

Four games, the lowest is 9.93, the highest is 10 points, out of 10 points.

Being able to get ten points means that all the judges' scores are ten points, or there are at least nineteen ten points. In this way, after removing the lowest score, such a result is obtained.

This has never happened in previous games.

Not to mention ten points, even the lowest score of 9.93 is an extremely high score in previous games, and it is also the highest record. Only two people have scored such a score in a single game, but now, it has become the lowest.

It's just an ancient battle, so forget it. Song Xiu's results are equally eye-catching.

The first game, 9.93 points, the second game, 9.95 points, the third game, 9.97 points, the fourth game, 10 points.

Another ten points, another minimum score of 9.93. Normally, any one of these scores would be shocking enough, but here there are actually two, and they appear at once.

Looking at Chu Yuan's results, they suddenly became much inferior.

Chu Yuan scored 9.77 points in the first game, 9.83 points in the second game, 9.81 points in the third game, and 8.1 points in the fourth game.

A finalist actually didn't even score 9 points in the last game. You know, these are all famous chefs in the country. Even the more than 200 people who were eliminated in the first game had a minimum score of more than 8 points. .

Chu Yuan's 8.1 points was the lowest score in the entire competition.

In the final, the lowest score in the game was abnormal. President Gou and the others were in a daze, not knowing how to announce the results.

Chu Yuan was also unlucky. When he was cooking, the judges happened to eat two delicacies that they had never experienced before. At this time, he gave it to the judges. Under such a serious influence, it was already very good to get eight points.

If he sent it first, it would definitely not be like this, at least it would be a high score of 9.7 or above.

"President Gou, what should I do? If these scores are announced, it will cause an uproar!"

A staff member asked quickly. They couldn't believe the results. They had a feeling that something was going to happen.

"What did the judges say?" President Gou asked.

"The judges swear that they gave real scores that are worthy of their conscience!"

A staff member whispered that the judges are currently in isolation and are not allowed to have contact with the outside world. This state will not be lifted until the competition results are fully announced.

"Initiate emergency measures!"

President Gou suddenly stood up and said something directly. The others were stunned for a moment and looked at him in disbelief.
