Chapter 356: Food Match
Gu Zheng and Sir Brown said a few polite words, and then stood aside and looked at this place curiously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He didn't have a friendship with Sir Brown, and he didn't want to have anything to do with this person after this incident, his attitude was naturally very ordinary, and Sir Brown didn't mind, he knew very well that the person he invited didn't know the truth about the food festival in advance, and if he knew the truth, it was really unknown whether people could come.
After Gu Zheng agreed to the invitation, Sir Brown did an investigation of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's debut time can be said to be very short, he was just an ordinary food critic before, if there is anything special, that is, there is a father of a three-Michelin chef, Gu Zheng's father Sir Brown has also been invited before, but was refused.
Gu Zheng first showed his cooking skills, which was to sell a very expensive omelette, which was said to be very delicious, and he queued up to buy it every day, and he couldn't buy it, and it was said that there were any restrictions on purchase, and the specific process Brown did not know.
He only inquired about the situation of the ancient dispute, and did not investigate the ancient dispute in detail.
After that, Gu Zheng showed his edge in the Hangzhou Food Competition, the Hangzhou Food Competition is only a local competition, and it is the first time it has been held, there are not many local competitions in China, and his first place in this competition has limited gold content, but in any case, he is finally famous, and he is also recognized as having master-level strength.
After that, it was the Guji chicken blood soup he prescribed.
It is said that the food of Guji chicken blood soup is very delicious, and it is sold out every day, not only the chicken blood soup is delicious, but the other food is also delicious.
However, the two foods are said to have been provided by others and are not produced in the store.
Gu Zheng really became famous, is the national food competition in China.
This competition is very famous in the world, has a high reputation, in this competition can get the top ten, or even the top 30 people, are many famous restaurants sought after celebrity chefs, just like Gu Zheng's father Gu Ming, who was the third place that year, and then came to France, directly as the chef, and then was quickly rated as three stars.
Gu Zheng is not the third place, but the first place.
And it is said that his first place is still the most golden, the first place in the past, this survey result made Sir Brown very satisfied, originally he also invited other chefs, and then was refused, after the refusal, he didn't care at all, as long as there was an ancient contention, it was enough.
Although Gu Zheng's debut is short, but in terms of results, no one is as good as him, and other so-called royal chefs, or the first in the country, are not as influential as Gu Zheng, the new first in China.
Because of this, he was very polite to Gu Zheng.
There are more than 100 celebrity chefs and these nobles and tycoons, and it is like an ordinary party, and it is not a food festival at all.
If you put a table here, with wine and food, it's a drinking party.
Gu Zheng was thinking about it, a person suddenly walked towards them, the person who came was also in his thirties, the European face, unlike Sir Brown, he did not have that beard, he looked more comfortable.
"HI, Brown!"
The other spoke English, waved his hand and greeted Sir Brown, and it seemed that the two were very familiar.
"Little John, long time no see!"
Sir Brown smiled slightly, he didn't hug each other, he didn't shake hands, judging from these small gestures, the relationship between the two sides was not very good.
"Oh my God, how did you hire such a young chef this time, is that okay?"
Little John glanced at Gu Zheng, and then said very exaggeratedly, his ridiculous tone had already made Gu Zheng understand that these two were definitely not friends, but rivals.
"Yes or no, you don't count!"
Sir Brown said something faintly, and little John suddenly looked up and laughed, and laughed for a full ten seconds before stopping, and many people looked to their side.
"Brown, I kindly remind you, don't be deceived by the little white face!"
Before Little John could finish speaking, Sir Brown's face changed and became extremely ugly, and Gu Zheng turned his head and looked at them thoughtfully.
Little John left as soon as he finished speaking, and Sir Brown could only grit his teeth and secretly scream 'bastard' to you.
"Gu, it's not what you think!"
Looking at Gu Zheng's strange eyes, Sir Brown sighed softly and slowly explained.
Listening to Little John say this, many people will think that Sir Brown is a good man, simply put, homosexuality, including Gu Zheng also thinks so, and now there are indeed many people in Europe who advocate homosexuality, especially these rich aristocrats.
If this is the case, Gu Zheng is not surprised, but he will feel a little disgusted in his heart, and he has to keep a certain distance from this Sir Brown.
"I have a younger sister, I love her very much, my parents died in a car accident when we were very young, my sister was raised by me, our brother and sister have a very good relationship, and soon she grew up, like a little princess, and I met a friend, very handsome, I think they are a good match, so I introduced them to each other!"
Brown spoke very slowly, and his face showed a trace of pain: "But I didn't expect that this person was actually a liar, he not only deceived me, but also deceived my sister, just cheated money, he made my sister no longer trust in the relationship, until now, my sister has not married, has been staying at home!"
Brown was indeed deceived by Little White Face, but he was deceived of money, and his sister was deceived of feelings.
Since then, Brown has been disgusted with characters like Whiteface, and John Jr. knows this, and has just deliberately used this to attack Brown.
The two have been fighting for more than ten years, and it can be said that they are mortal enemies.
"I see, I'm sorry to remind you of something sad!"
Gu Zheng nodded lightly, if this is the case, it can only be said that the little white face is too hateful, and Sir Brown is also a victim.
But this little John is also quite bad, he actually used this to attack people, and he didn't expose people, it seems that the grudge between the two is really not small.
"Brown, I'm going to challenge you!"
As the two were talking, another man came, not alone, but accompanied by a cook in his forties, who was a black man, not the darkest of the kind, descended from blacks and whites.
This chef is from Egypt, he is a very famous chef in Egypt, he also has a master level, he has participated in several Lyon food festivals, and it doesn't matter to him where he goes as long as he has money to make.
Sir Brown's brow twitched again at the sight of them coming.
Challenge?
It's finally here, Gu Zheng still doesn't know what these nobles' games are, but it's obvious that their games must be related to cooking, otherwise there wouldn't be so many chefs.
"Gutrang, you idiot, always being used by Little John!"
Sir Brown scolded angrily, the event had just begun, and he only invited Gu Zheng, a chef, he didn't want to expose his strength too early, but there was no way, the first person to be challenged was them, he couldn't accept it if he wanted to.
Not accepting the challenge is tantamount to admitting defeat.
"I want your Château de Boumas!"
Sir Brown gritted his teeth and spoke, and the man who walked over changed his face slightly, showing hesitation.
The game between the nobles allowed for a challenge, but the challenged could choose to bet, and now Guterran challenged Sir Brown, who put forward the bet, and the bet was Château Boumas.
"Okay, I promise you!"
After a while, Gutterrand nodded heavily, Château Boumars is located in the Bordeaux region of France, is one of the many wineries there, although it is only a fourth-class winery, but because of the large vineyard and excellent winemaking technology, it is likely to be upgraded in the future.
If it weren't for the short history of Château Bourgas, it would have been ranked as a third-class winery, and similarly, the market value of Château Boumars is not low, estimated at about 36 million euros, equivalent to more than 300 million yuan.
This is just a bet, and a bet is more than 300 million, and it is really a game that can only be played between nobles.
"I want your Ambu Casino!"
Gutrand put forward a set of bets, Sir Brown had five casinos, and Anbu was his best and most profitable casino, with a market value of about 30 million euros.
It sounds like the Ambu Casino is not as valuable as the Château de Boumas, but the casino itself is more profitable than the winery, and this is a casino that has just opened and has been doing very good business, so the two sides are Chiming, and Guterlang did not ask too much for it.
"Good!"
Brown agreed quickly, in fact, when he proposed the other party's Bouth Winery, he could guess which of his properties the other party would choose to bet on, and he was mentally prepared.
The Casino of Ambe is one of his best businesses, as is Château Boumars, which is also a very important property in Gutterrand.
However, there is a slight difference between the two, Sir Brown has more than one Ambe casino, but also four other casinos and many properties, and Guterran's Château Boumars occupies forty percent of his property, so in terms of assets, Sir Brown is absolutely superior.
After all, Brown is a veteran knight, and his family has been glorious for hundreds of years, which is not comparable to that of a new nobleman Gutland, and Gutrand himself is not a nobleman, and his father is an honorary lord.
"Brown, it seems that you really have absolute confidence in this little white face, let's wait and see!"
Little John came up again, and laughed, and Sir Brown did not change his expression at all, and did not pay any attention to his provocation.
The so-called challenge, the challenge is cooking, since it is a food festival, it is necessary to use cooking skills to conquer everyone.
After Sir Brown agreed to the challenge, people began to arrange things, and the kitchen was arranged, although it was a temporary arrangement, but it was also very luxurious and very large.
Not only that, but the kitchen counter for both of them is far away, and there is an advanced ventilation system to prevent the two from disturbing each other.
"Gu, you must win, according to the agreement, if we win, you can get three percent of the bet, this time as long as you can win, I will give you half of the winery, you and I hold it together!"
Sir Brown's expression was a little solemn, and it was the first time that Gu Zheng had heard the agreement he said.
It turns out that the bet between the nobles, the chef can get the bet dividend if he wins, and it is very high, it is thirty percent, if he loses, the chef does not have to pay anything, but the damage is his reputation.
It is precisely because of this that many masters who want to make money come here, so that there are fifty-six chefs here.
Without such a high return, a true master would basically not be willing to come to such an occasion.
Of course, the nobles will also be cautious in choosing chefs, ordinary chefs they will not invite, without a certain strength, inviting will only be embarrassing, and they will also let themselves lose things.
But if you invite chefs who are really powerful and make you very confident, then they dare to bet, and they dare to bet no matter how big they are, just like this Gutrang, the Egyptian chef he brought followed him to participate in three food festivals, in these three sessions, Egyptian chefs competed 25 times, and the record was 24 wins and 1 loss.
With such a terrifying record, it is no wonder that he dared to bet so much with Sir Brown, and forty percent of his net worth was gambled.
As for Sir Brown, he is the one who has eaten bucket chicken and roast chicken, and the result of his investigation is that the food made by Gu Zheng himself is countless times better than these two delicacies, so he is also very confident in Gu Zheng, and temporarily increased the dividends to Gu Zheng to make him work harder.
Gu Zheng himself didn't expect that there would be such a high reward for cooking food here.
Such a reward is much higher than the reward of the National Food Competition, although he doesn't know how much a winery is worth, but a famous winery can't be cheap.
Bring your own kitchen utensils, Gu Zheng has already prepared it, and Hao Sen has sent it before, including his ingredients.
Because it is a bet, there is no limit to the ingredients, only the time and quantity, that is, it must be completed within the specified time, and the food made cannot be less than ten servings.
Since the comparison of cooking skills requires professional judges, the festival has five of Europe's best food critics, all of whom are respected veterans, and their reviews are very convincing.
These old-timers were reluctant to get involved in these aristocratic games at first, but later these aristocrats made a promise that as long as they came to be judges, they would donate the same amount of cash to the European Gastronomy Association with the same value of five percent of each bet to help the European Gastronomy Association develop.
With such conditions, these five real seniors can be invited, and only their judgment can convince these nobles.
As for the extra five, it is a backup to avoid accidents.
The whole process is not very clear, but it doesn't matter, his interest is not here, he just needs to make the food he wants to cook.
Winning over the other party and getting half of the property rights of a winery seems like a good reward.
The most important thing is that the machine spirit actually has no objection, so it looks like such a challenge machine spirit is supported, in fact, for the machine spirit, any challenge is okay, but there can be no insult to the food, although the challenge here adds a bet, but the food has always been very respectful, with the best equipment, provide the best conditions, no one to bother the chef, the most professional judges, if there are no those bets, in fact, this is a good food match.
This is the current idea of the ancient controversy.
With this thought, he was not so disgusted with this activity.
