In the forum, apart from Wang Dong and Gu Zheng, there were also some posts talking about people who cook better in other venues.
There are 20 venues. By this time, the competition of the third group has basically passed. There are 10 people in each group, and 600 people in the 20 venues have completed the competition. Among these 600 people, Wang Dong's current score ranks first. in tenth place.
At present, a chef in the fifth venue with the highest score scored 91 points. He scored 92 points yesterday. There were more than 5,000 people in the audience yesterday, and more than a dozen people scored more than nine. Gu Zheng was the first, and he ranked ninth.
What he cooked today was the same as yesterday, Dongpo pork, which he had prepared some ingredients in advance.
Dongpo Pork is a Hangzhou cuisine, and this person is also a chef in Hangzhou, the owner of an ordinary restaurant. He has been quiet and not well-known before, and no one expected to participate in the competition this time to become a blockbuster.
In a competition with more than 5,000 people, it is already quite remarkable to be able to get the top three. The judges also said that all the contestants with a score of nine or more are not weaker than those who were recommended, and even stronger than some recommended.
Most of the recommenders are well-known, but when it comes to real strength, some are indeed not as good as these high-scoring people.
That person's Dongpo meat has been mentioned many times in the forum, and there are also doubts, such as not enough time to make Dongpo meat, whether the semi-finished ingredients are made by himself, etc., but there are not as many as Gu Zheng. It's all questionable.
He is also the first person with a score of nine today. It is inevitable for a person like him to qualify today, and as long as there is no accident tomorrow, he will be able to break out of the three preliminary rounds and enter the fourth round. As for whether he can enter the final round In the final, it depends on his performance and luck.
Today's competition is 100 to 30. Overall, there are 600 people from 2,000 people who can advance. Tomorrow, these 600 people will compete in ten venues, with 60 people in each venue. In the 60-to-20 competition system, only 20 people can advance to the fourth game.
In other words, in the three-day competition, only 200 people can enter the fourth round, and compete with those who walk for the place in the final.
This final will be broadcast live on a TV station. Although it is not a satellite TV channel of Shangxing, it is also a well-known local TV station, and more people will pay attention to it.
There are only 30 places in the finals. Everyone knows the rules of the competition from the beginning. The key is whether you can make it to the finals. This battle of thousands of people has only gone halfway, and there is still a more difficult and bitter road ahead. wait for them.
The fourth group of competitions ended soon. In the venue of Guzheng, Wang Dong is still ranked first, but there are two eighth-point brackets in this group, and both of them are 80 points. But yesterday they all scored more than seven points. Eight points is a big improvement.
In the fifth group competition, there was a score of 83. All the contestants with more than 8 points basically had no problem qualifying this time. After the 5th group competition, the number of people who scored 9 points in all venues also increased. Eight people have already passed. It scored nine points, but Gu Zheng and the others didn't have this venue yet.
After a short break at noon, the sixth group soon ushered in the afternoon. Gu Zheng found that the number of people outside not only did not decrease with the time of the game, but changed more.
Mu Mu also observed this point. According to a rough calculation, the number of people standing outside has exceeded 1,500, and it is still increasing. The number of people coming to their venues is even ten times that of some venues.
These people are all here for Gu Zheng, and everyone knows that the Fried Egg King is about to play.
"The sixth group is ready!"
The staff member shouted at the door, Gu Zheng had already walked over with his suitcase in his arms, seeing him, the staff member looked back, and a staff member in his forties walked behind him.
Gu Zheng didn't know at this time that it was the person in charge of their ninth venue who came.
"Mr. Gu, let's talk alone first!"
The person in charge invited Gu Zheng in, and told him one thing, something that surprised Gu Zheng.
Although it was unexpected, Gu Zheng still agreed, and what the person in charge said had little effect on him.
What the person in charge asked Gu Zheng to say was also very simple, because there are too many controversies about Gu Zheng on the forum now, and even some famous chefs recommended to stand up to question the fairness of this competition. They don't believe that a fried egg can win With such a high score, due to these pressures, the food contest decided to record Gu Zheng's process of making fried eggs separately.
This requires a camera to be used in front of Gu Zheng. A camera in front of him may affect the process of making delicious food, so the person in charge came over to say something to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng did not refuse his request. The camera may affect others, but not him.
He is a food critic, he has participated in many activities, and he has faced the camera too many times, but most of those shots are from internal villages and mines, and rarely appear on TV, but the video recorded this time will not be on TV either. , just to clarify those who doubt.
Besides, they only record themselves making fried eggs, not themselves.
Seeing that Gu Zheng agreed, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Zheng refused, they would have to find a way to set up a remote camera. No matter what, they must record the process of Gu Zheng making fried eggs. Yesterday's judges said, Guzheng's fried eggs are different from others from the beginning to the end, and it brings people a kind of shock, a shock from the soul.
"coming!"
The judges couldn't help but hold their breath, and they all looked at Gu Zheng who walked into the arena. The food they were most looking forward to today, the most curious food, was about to appear.
When Gu Zheng walked into the venue, people outside took pictures with their mobile phones. The forum homepage instantly became Gu Zheng's world, full of posts related to Gu Zheng, Wang Dong and the previous nine-point chef post , were left behind.
Gu Zheng came to his competition stage. The competition stage was the same as yesterday, and the layout was very simple, but his position was on the far side, and there was still a distance from others.
There is also a separate camera on his side. In order not to disturb others, he is set up far away. The organizers have taken great pains to maintain the competition.
"You can start!"
The cameraman was very polite, and he had been strictly instructed before that he was only allowed to shoot, not to speak, and not to do anything that would affect Gu Zheng's cooking, otherwise he would be severely punished.
There is a camera next to it, it does feel a bit strange, after thinking about it, Gu Zheng cast a calming spell on himself, his spirit immediately improved a lot, and the surrounding cameras were completely ignored by him.
Heat pan, heat oil, beat eggs.
Familiar process, smooth process, the camera looked at Gu Zheng under the camera, and his eyes widened a lot. No matter from any angle, Gu Zheng's movements are full of a sense of beauty, simple movements, but contain Sufficient aesthetic feeling made him feel that Gu Zheng was not cooking, but dancing.
Gu Zheng’s omelette is a culinary skill of Tiexian. Tiexian is a person who pursues perfection. Although he didn’t do it well in the early years, this is the earth. Even if it is not so perfect in the eyes of Tiexian, it can still shock people here. .
