Many girls are afraid of animals such as snakes and rats, and Mumu is no exception. When she sees someone taking out a snake, she turns her head away, not daring to look any further.
"It's okay, stay away, besides, the snake is in the hands of people, so it won't come running!"
Gu Zheng could only comfort her by saying that that man was very skilled at killing snakes, and the snakes were killed and skinned very quickly. Judging by his appearance, he was planning to make snake soup.
Snake soup is a good Cantonese dish, but it is very troublesome to prepare, half an hour is not enough time. This person made snake soup in the first round of the preliminary competition. Even Gu Zheng also saw that he was inexperienced in participating.
Snake soup is not a dish that can be prepared in half an hour. If you want to finish it in half an hour, you must simplify the steps. But what you cook is snake soup, and what everyone expects is also snake soup. As expected, it will only affect the score, so it is said that he has no competition experience.
As a chef, Gu Zheng has never participated in an official competition, but as a food critic, he has participated in some and knows some things to pay attention to.
"Hello, where are you from?"
Just as he was thinking, a young man next to him suddenly called Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng turned around and found a young man in his early twenties, wearing a white chef uniform.
"Shen Cheng, what about you?"
He came up to ask politely, with a smile on his face again, Gu Zheng didn't refuse his question, but answered him.
Besides being polite, most of the people who came to participate in the preliminary competition today are in their 30s and 40s, less in their 50s and 60s, and chefs in their 50s and 60s who are not famous will basically not come, while the famous ones are already Walked, no need to participate in the first game.
Of the more than two hundred people who were going to participate in the competition, people in their 30s and 40s accounted for more than half, and there were about a dozen people in their 50s and 60s, and the rest were mostly people in their 26s and 20s. There are very few people, Gu Zheng is twenty-three years old, this young man looks younger than Gu Zheng, basically the two of them are the youngest people who signed up for the competition this time.
Like many traditional industries, chefs need to accumulate experience. It is not impossible for young people to be chefs, but it is not easy to be a good chef, after all, they have no experience.
There is no age limit for this gourmet competition. Adults can sign up, but there is a registration fee, which is about 200 per person. These registration fees can stop some people who just join in the fun.
People who know that there is no hope at all will not be willing to give up the two hundred yuan, so they will not come.
"I'm from Sucheng, my name is Wang Dong, nice to meet you!"
The young man stretched out his hand, and Gu Zheng reached out to shake him. Wang Dong came alone, without a companion, and he also brought a box, a small one.
Wang Dong was alone, young, and had no common language with other people, so he chatted with Gu Zheng Mumu here. After chatting with Gu Zheng for a while, he realized that Wang Dong was only nineteen years old this year, not even twenty years old. , it must be the youngest of them in this game, but I don't know if it is the youngest of all the contestants this time.
While the three of them were chatting, there were bursts of scents coming from the competition venue. There were still some people who cooked delicious dishes, and these scents aroused many people's appetites.
"Brother Gu, what are you going to do?"
The three of them have already introduced themselves. Wang Dong knows that Gu Zheng is a food critic, and also knows that Mu Mu is the editor of the food channel. Mu Mu is here to help, and the contestant is Gu Zheng.
Wang Dong himself is an apprentice, an apprentice in a four-star hotel. He did not go to college, but loves cooking very much. He became an apprentice after graduating from high school. Yi, he signed up for this food competition without telling the chef, and even asked for leave.
He didn't dare to tell the people in the hotel about participating in the competition, so that even if he was dismissed, he could go back to work earlier without being ridiculed.
"I made fried eggs!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and talked about the food he was going to cook. Mu Mu's ears perked up when he heard the word fried egg, and his saliva couldn't help but flow out.
"The game is over, you must make one for me!"
Mumu said something in a low voice, Wang Dong was stunned, and immediately laughed again, and said: "I thought what I made was the simplest, but I didn't expect you to make it simpler than me, Brother Gu. What I want to do is egg fried rice!"
Wang Dong was going to make fried rice with eggs, and Gu Zheng's god became a little weird.
This is a gourmet competition. Although there are no restrictions on what to cook, they usually choose a variety of cuisines. Gu Zheng does not cook other cuisines. One is because he does not know how to cook, and the other is that he has confidence in fried eggs. Pass the preliminary round.
Not to mention everything, at least there were no problems in the first few rounds. If fried eggs are dangerous later, he can also take out chicken blood soup or chicken shredded noodle soup to make it.
He didn't know how Wang Dong's egg fried rice was, but in such a competition, making egg fried rice always felt very strange. Of course, people who didn't know his fried eggs would find it even more strange.
"Just do it seriously!"
Gu Zhengshen was strange, but he still encouraged Wang Dong, and Wang Dong nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Brother Gu, I understand this. It was the first time I participated in the competition, and I was very excited!"
"Wow!"
As soon as Wang Dong finished speaking, there was a loud sound from inside, which attracted the attention of many people. Gu Zheng and Mu Mu also looked inside. A person who was cooking, for some unknown reason, actually threw the pot It went out and hit the contestant who was cooking in front.
The inside suddenly became chaotic, the person who was smashed also turned over the pot, turned around and scolded the person who threw the pot, and that person kept apologizing.
Both of them were invited out in the end, the pot was dropped, and there was no time to do it again, especially the person who threw the pot, the score was not counted directly, and the person who was smashed was purely unlucky, and the score was also invalidated.
"It seems that you have to be careful of the flying pots outside the sky during the competition, but this is a good way. In the future, whoever feels the threat is bigger, arrange someone to compete together, and let him be eliminated directly by the flying pot!"
People around laughed. This is indeed a method, but it can only be used in the first three rounds of the preliminary round. The fourth round is a dedicated competition venue. It is impossible to use such a despicable method to eliminate people who feel that they are threatening to themselves.
And the real celebrity chefs are all recommended, you have no chance to treat them like this.
"This person should be nervous. In fact, I am also very nervous. I don't know if I can make a good job!"
Wang Dong said that he was really nervous. Even though he hadn't started to participate in the competition, his heartbeat was still fast, so he deliberately chatted with Gu Zheng and Mu Mu, using the chat to distract and relieve stress.
"Actually, the competition is nothing. You just need to be yourself as usual. When you are inside, you will treat yourself as if you are still at home and cook for yourself. Don't worry about it so much!"
Gu Zheng comforted him in a low voice. Gu Zheng did not participate in the competition, but he was not nervous at all. Apart from the reason of self-confidence, there is another point. The purpose of Gu Zheng is not to be the first, but to conquer the previous Those ten judges.
For him, as long as he conquered the ten judges with chicken noodle soup, as long as he did this, he would win. As for the victory of the competition, he didn't care at all.
"Thank you, Brother Gu, I will be myself!"
Wang Dong took a deep breath. Someone inside had prepared his own food in advance. The staff brought the food to the jury's table separately. The judges rinsed their mouths first, and then picked up a piece to taste.
After taking a bite, they stopped eating and began to score with the scorer in their hands. There was a screen next to it, and the judges' scores would appear on the screen from time to time.
The first one to do well was No. 8, and the results of No. 8 quickly appeared. One of the highest scores was 7.2 points, and the lowest score was 5.3 points. In the end, his total score was 6.3 points.
More than six points, one is neither good nor bad, and barely passed. No. 8 thought he would be the first to do it well. The judges had never eaten other people's food, so they would give themselves a high score. Unexpectedly But it is such a score, God is a little sad.
After reading his scores, No. 8 came out with his belongings, but he did not leave. He had to wait for the final total score. Can I advance. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site in the first time.
