Many girls are afraid of animals such as snakes and mice, and Mumu is no exception. When she sees someone take out a snake, she turns her head and doesn't dare to see it again.
"It's all right. It's far away. Besides, the snake is in people's hands and won't run over!"
Gu Zheng could only comfort her by saying that the man was very skilled in killing snakes. Soon the snakes were killed and skinned. According to his appearance, he was going to make snake soup.
Snake soup is a good Cantonese dish, but it's troublesome to prepare. Half an hour is not enough. This man made snake soup in the first game of the preliminary competition. Even Gu Zheng also saw that he didn't have enough experience in the competition.
Snake soup is not a dish that can be prepared in half an hour at all. To complete it in half an hour, you must simplify the steps, but what you do is snake soup, and what we expect is snake soup. If it is simplified, the taste will certainly become worse. If it fails to meet the expectation, it will only affect the score, so it is said that he has no experience in the competition.
Gu Zheng has never participated in a formal competition as a cook, but he has participated in some food critics and knows something to pay attention to.
"Hello, guys. Where are you from?"
Just thinking, a young man nearby suddenly called Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng looked back and found that he was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a white chef's suit.
"Shencheng, what about you?"
They asked politely and smiled. Gu Zheng didn't refuse other people's questions and answered him.
In addition to being polite, most of the people who come to the preliminary contest today are people in their 30s and 40s, less in their 50s and 60s. Cooks who are not famous in their 50s and 60s will not come, but those who are famous have been escorted and do not need to participate in the first game.
Among the more than 200 people who want to participate in the competition, more than half are in their 30s and 40s, more than a dozen are in their 50s and 60s, and the rest are mostly in their 26S and 70s. There are very few people in their early 20s. Gu Zheng is 23 years old. This young man looks smaller than Gu Zheng. Basically, they are the smallest people to sign up for the competition.
Like many traditional industries, chefs need the accumulation of experience. Young people can't be chefs, but it's not easy to be a good cook. After all, they have no experience.
There is no age limit for this food competition. Adults can sign up, but there is a registration fee of almost 200 per person. These registration fees can prevent some people who are purely busy.
Those who know there is no hope will not give up the 200 yuan and 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 shook it with him. Wang Dong came alone without companions. He also took a box, a small box.
Wang Dong, who is young and has no common language with others, chatted with Gu Zhengmu here. After chatting for a while, Gu Zhengmu knew that Wang Dong is only 19 years old this year, not even 20. He must be the youngest of them, but I don't know whether it is the youngest of all the contestants this time.
When the three chatted, there began to be bursts of fragrance from the competition venue. Some people still cooked dishes that tasted very good. These smells also aroused the appetite of many people.
"Elder brother Gu, what are you going to do?"
The three have introduced themselves. Wang Dong knows that Gu Zheng is a food critic and 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 in a four-star hotel. He didn't go to college and loves cooking very much. He came out as an apprentice after graduating from high school. He has worked in the hotel for two years and exercised a lot of cooking in the past two years. He signed up for the food competition without telling the chef and specially asked for leave.
He didn't dare to tell the hotel about the competition, so that even if he was brushed down, he could go back to work early and won't be laughed at.
"I made fried eggs!"
Gu Zheng smiled and said the food he wanted to make. Mu Mu's ears stood up fiercely when he heard the word fried egg, and his saliva couldn't help flowing out.
"After the game, be sure to make one for me!"
Mumu whispered a sentence. Wang Dong looked stunned, immediately smiled and said, "I thought I made the simplest thing. Unexpectedly, elder brother Gu, what you made is simpler than me. What I want to make is egg fried rice!"
Wang Dong wants to cook fried rice with eggs. Gu Zheng's look is a little strange.
This is a food competition. Although there is no limit on what to do, he usually chooses various cuisines. Gu Zheng doesn't do other cuisines. First, he can't do it. Second, he has confidence in fried eggs. Fried eggs can definitely pass the preliminary competition.
Not to mention all, at least there is no problem in the first few rounds. If the fried eggs in the back are dangerous, he can also take out chicken blood soup or shredded chicken soup noodles.
He doesn't know what Wang Dong's egg fried rice is like, but in such a contest, it always feels strange to cook egg fried rice. Of course, people who don't know his fried eggs will feel even more strange.
"Just do it seriously!"
Gu Zheng looked different, but he encouraged Wang Dong. Wang Dong nodded excitedly: "thank you, brother Gu. I understand these. I came with a learning attitude this time. I'm not hiding it from you. This is my first competition. I'm very excited!"
"Wow!"
When Wang Donggang finished, a loud voice suddenly came from inside, which attracted the attention of many people. Gu Zheng and Mu Mu also looked inside. A person who was cooking, I don't know why, threw the pot out and hit the player who was cooking in front.
There was a sudden confusion inside, and the person who was smashed turned over the pot. He turned back and scolded the person who threw the pot, while the person kept apologizing.
Both of them were finally invited out. The pot fell off and there was no time to do it again. Especially for those who threw the pot, the results were directly ignored. The one who was hit was pure bad luck and the results were invalidated.
"It seems that you should be careful of flying the pot outside the sky during the competition, but this is a good way. In the future, if you feel that someone is a big threat, arrange someone to participate together and directly fly the pot to let him out!"
There are people around laughing. This is indeed a way, but it can only be used in the first three games of the preliminary round. The fourth game is a special competition venue. It is impossible to eliminate people who feel threatened by themselves by such despicable means.
The real famous chefs are escorted in the past. You have no chance to treat others like this.
"This person should be nervous. In fact, I'm also very nervous. I don't know if I can fry well!"
Wang Dong said that he was really nervous. Although he had not started to participate in the competition, his heart beat still very fast, so he deliberately went to Gu Zheng to chat with Mu Mu and used chat to distract attention and relieve pressure.
"In fact, the game is nothing. You just have to be yourself as usual. When you get inside, you can treat it as if you are still at home, that is, cooking by yourself. Don't worry so much!"
Gu Zheng whispered to comfort him. Gu Zheng didn't participate in the competition, but he was not nervous at all. In addition to self-confidence, the purpose of Gu Zheng is not to compete for the first, but to conquer the ten judges before.
For him, as long as he conquered the ten judges with shredded chicken soup noodles, as long as he did this, he was a victory. As for the victory of the competition, he didn't care at all.
"Thank you, brother Gu. I will be myself!"
Wang Dongshen took a deep breath. Someone had prepared their own food in advance. The staff brought the food to the judges separately. The judges first rinsed their mouth, and then picked up a piece to taste.
After eating, they stopped eating and began to score with the scorer in their hands. There is a screen next to them, and the judges' scores will appear on the screen from time to time.
The first one to do well was No. 8. The result of No. 8 soon appeared, removing a maximum score of 7.2 and a minimum score of 5.3. Finally, his total score was 6.3.
More than six points, one is not good or bad, and barely passed. On the 8th, I thought I would be the first to do well. The judges will give themselves a high score before eating other people's food. Unexpectedly, it is such a score, and I look a little gloomy.
After reading his score, he came out on the 8th with his own things, but he didn't leave. He had to wait for the final total score. After the game, the top 100 in the total score would be promoted. He had to know whether he could be promoted.
