Time passed quickly, and after the rice marrow was fused, five days passed quickly.
These days, Mu Mu would go to Gu Zheng's house every day at noon. At first, she just ate fried eggs, and then she just ate and drank. Gu Zheng's cooking skills did not disappoint her. The food is also well done.
Of the two manuscripts that Gu Zheng handed over to her before, one was published a few days ago, and the one about rice cakes was published first. A food competition, a food competition, almost caused an old chain store to close down.
In view of these, Mu Mu suppressed the article on the barrel chicken first, and published a manuscript of praise.
The influence of Gu Zheng is now greater than before, and the manuscript fee that Mumu promised to give him has also been increased. This new manuscript has attracted the attention of many people. It is unanimous praise.
Mu Mu also went there herself, the rice cake tastes good, although it is not as good as the fried eggs of Guzheng, but it is much better than other foods, she likes it very much, and I guess she will become a regular customer of the rice cake shop.
"I'm going to participate in the competition, what are you doing next?"
On the high-speed rail, Gu Zheng said to Mu Mu very speechlessly, today is the 14th, and the preliminary round of the food competition will start on the 15th, and he will rush to Hangzhou today to prepare in advance.
The Hangzhou government attaches great importance to this gourmet competition, and relevant leaders will appear in the finals. The media has been reporting these days, even Mumu's food channel has also reported for several days.
It is said that there will be a high bonus this time, which has attracted many chefs to participate. However, Gu Zheng is not interested in these, so he has never paid attention to them. He only wants to let the ten judges eat in the finals. As long as he makes chicken noodle soup, this is equivalent to completing the test.
He believes that as long as ten judges eat the noodle soup he made, they will definitely be conquered.
"You go to the competition, I will follow up and report, can't you?"
Mu Mu curled her lips and glared at Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng bought the ticket first. After she saw Gu Zheng bought the ticket, she immediately ordered a ticket, and they happened to sit together.
"Okay, okay, this kind of follow-up report, also use your editor-in-chief?"
Gu Zheng was very speechless. The impact of this food competition is quite big, but the real attention is on the finals. The finals will be broadcast live on TV, and there will be a lot of media presence, but there is no such thing in the preliminary round. Even if there is media attention, it will be sent. A reporter went to check, Mumu is the editor-in-chief, she will personally follow up the report
Gu Zheng was right in guessing that the website did follow up and report on this matter, but at the beginning it was not Mu Mu who came forward, but another editor. Mu Mu took the initiative to invite Ying after knowing that Gu Zheng was going to compete.
These days, she has become addicted to eating the food made by Gu Zheng, and following the past, she happens to be able to continue eating.
Hangzhou, a historical name and a thousand-year-old capital, has the beautiful scenery of the civilized West Lake, as well as the Hangbang cuisine that foodies all over the world like, and the West Lake Vinegar Fish is even more famous throughout the country.

In this gourmet competition, the prize money for the first list is one million, and at the same time, there is a three-year right to use a store in the bustling area of West Lake. The annual rent of such a store is hundreds of thousands. millions.
In some influential food competitions in the past, the prize money was 100,000 yuan. The highest one was in Guangzhou, and the prize money was only 300,000 yuan, which is nothing compared to this time.
The first place is like this, the second place is not bad, the bonus is 500,000, there is no shop, the third place has a bonus of 300,000, and the next few also have a reward of 100,000. Many people are attracted by the heavy prize, and there are many names The chefs came to participate in the competition, apart from the prize money, they wanted the fame of winning this time.
Although it is hosted by Hangcheng, this is already a nationally concerned competition. Whoever wins the prize is equal to being famous all over the country. Such a reputation is not a small fortune.
Being famous and profitable finally attracted so many people to participate, and some people came here purely to learn and accumulate competition experience. They knew that they could not win awards, but being able to compete with so many famous chefs on the same stage was also a learning process. It is also a kind of pride to say it.
After comprehensive consideration of various aspects, the number of applicants was finally reached.
Gu Zheng took the high-speed train in the morning, and reported to the organizer in the afternoon. The preliminary competition will start tomorrow. All contestants must report to receive their entry cards, and then start to participate in the preliminary competition.
There are five preliminaries, each of which will eliminate a large number of people. Some qualified celebrity chefs are submitted to the fourth round of the preliminaries. Most of these chefs are famous and have won many awards. Without such qualifications, they cannot be reported. deliver.

Gu Zheng has only had one gourmet competition experience, and it was a private solo competition. He definitely does not have such qualifications, so he can only honestly participate in the preliminary competition one by one.
"There are so many people, I am the ninth arena, number eighty-three!"
After getting the entry card, Gu Zheng kept shaking his head. There are so many people here. He waited in line for an hour to get the entry card. More than 5,000 people participated, but more than 5,000 people came. Many chefs They all have their assistants, even some small chefs will ask friends for help, and there are only a few people like Gu Zheng who come here alone.
Gu Zheng is not alone, Mumu is with him, but Mumu is not here to help, Mumu still has her own work.
The final of the food competition was held in West Lake, and the first preliminary round was held in 20 places in Hangzhou. With so many people participating, one place is definitely not enough. Even if there are 20 places, there are still two to three hundred people in each place. Participating in the competition, the competition volume on the first day is very large, and the schedule is also very urgent.
"It's all done. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. I know that there is a very good noodle restaurant in Hangzhou. I used to eat there every time I came here. I'll treat you this time!"
Mumu has been with Gu Zheng all the time, she has nothing to do today, and she doesn't want to go back to the hotel, so she just follows Gu Zheng, and said something with a smile when Gu Zheng is done.
The noodle restaurant she mentioned tastes really good. In her heart, there are very few delicacies that can compare with that noodle restaurant. The noodle shop is delicious, otherwise she wouldn't have come here with Gu Zheng this time, in fact, the purpose was just to eat.
