Many girls are afraid of animals such as snakes and rats, and Mu Mu is no exception, she turned her head when she saw someone take out a snake, and she didn't dare to look at it again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's okay, it's far away, besides, this snake is in the hands of people, and it won't run over!"

Gu Zheng could only comfort her, that person was very skilled in killing snakes, and soon the snake was killed and skinned, looking at 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 game of the preliminary round, even Gu Zheng also saw that he lacked experience in the competition.

Snake soup is not a dish that can be made in half an hour at all, and if you want to complete it in half an hour, you must simplify the steps, but what you make is snake soup, and what everyone is looking forward to is also snake soup, if it is simplified, the taste will definitely deteriorate, and if it does not meet expectations, it will only affect the score, so he said that he has no experience in competition.

Gu Zheng has never participated in an official competition as a chef, but he has participated in some food critics and knows some things to pay attention to.

"Hello two, where are you from?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a young man next to him suddenly called Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng turned around and found that it was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a white chef's uniform.

"Shencheng, what about you?"

People politely came up to ask, and they were full of smiles, Gu Zheng did not refuse other people's questions, and answered him.

In addition to politeness, there is another point, most of the people who came to participate in the preliminary round today are people in their thirties and forties, and there are fewer in their fifties and sixties.

There are more than 200 people who want to participate in the competition, more than half of them are in their thirties and forties, there are more than a dozen in their fifties and sixties, and then most of the rest are twenty-six or seventeen-year-olds, and there are very few people in their early twenties.

Chefs, like many traditional industries, require the accumulation of experience, and it is not that young people cannot be chefs, but it is not easy to be a good chef, after all, there is no experience.

There is no age limit for this food competition, and adults can sign up, but there is an entry fee, almost 200 per person, which can discourage some people from just joining in the fun.

Knowing that there is no hope at all, people are reluctant to give up these two hundred yuan, and they will not come.

"I'm from Sioux City, my name is Wang Dong, it's nice to meet you!"

The young man stretched out his hand, Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and shook his hand, Wang Dong came alone, without a companion, and he also carried a box, a small box.

Wang Dong is alone, young and has no common language with others, so he chatted with Gu Zheng Mu Mu here, and after chatting for a while, Gu Zheng knew that Wang Dong was only nineteen years old this year, not even twenty, he must be the youngest of them in this field, but I don't know if it is the youngest of all the contestants this time.

When the three of them were chatting, there were bursts of aroma from the competition venue, and there were still some people who cooked very good food, and these fragrances also aroused the appetite of many people.

"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 he also knows that Mu Mu is the editor of the food channel, Mu Mu is here to help, and Gu Zheng is participating in the competition.

Wang Dong himself is an apprentice, an apprentice in a four-star hotel, he did not go to college, he loves cooking very much, he came out as an apprentice after graduating from high school, he has been working in the restaurant for two years, and he has also exercised a lot of cooking skills in the past two years.

He didn't dare to tell the people in the hotel about participating in the competition, so that even if he was brushed off, he could go back to work early and not be ridiculed.

"I made an omelette!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and said the food he was going to make, Mu Mu's ears pricked up when he heard the word omelette, and his saliva couldn't help but flow out a little.

"The game is over, make one for me!"

Mu Mu whispered, Wang Dong was stunned, and immediately laughed again, and said: "I thought I made the easiest thing, but I didn't expect that Brother Gu, you made it simpler than me, what I want to make is egg fried rice!"

Wang Dong was going to make egg fried rice, and Gu Zheng's expression became a little strange.

This is a food competition, although there is no limit to what to do, but generally choose a variety of cuisines to do, Gu Zheng does not do other cuisines, one is because he can't, and the other is that he is confident in the omelette, and he can definitely pass the preliminary round by relying on the omelette.

Not to mention everything, at least there are no problems in the first few rounds, and if the omelette is dangerous later, he can also take out chicken blood soup or shredded chicken noodle soup to make it.

He doesn't know how Wang Dong's egg fried rice is, but in such a competition, making egg fried rice always feels very strange, of course, people who don't know about his fried eggs will find it even stranger.

"Just do it seriously!"

Gu Zheng looked strange, but he still encouraged Wang Dong, and Wang Dong nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Brother Gu, I understand this, I originally came with a learning attitude this time, and I won't hide it from you, this is the first time I have participated in the competition, and I am very excited!"

"Whoa!"

As soon as Wang Dong finished speaking, a very loud sound suddenly came from inside, which attracted the attention of many people, Gu Zheng and Mu Mu also looked inside, a person who was stir-frying, I don't know if it was because of the reason, he actually threw the pot out, and smashed it on the player who was cooking in front of him.

There was chaos inside, and the smashed person's pot was also overturned, and he turned around and scolded the person who threw the pot, and the person kept apologizing.

Both of them were finally invited out, the pot was dropped, and there was no time to do it again, especially the person who threw the pot, the results were directly ignored, and the person who was smashed was purely unlucky, and the results were also invalidated.

"It seems that you have to be careful when you are in the competition, but this is a good way, in the future, if you feel that the threat is big, arrange someone to participate together, and directly fly the pot to let him out!"

There were people around laughing, this is indeed a way, but it can only be used in the first three games of the preliminary round, and the fourth game is a special competition venue, and it is impossible to use such a despicable means to eliminate people who feel threatened to them.

And the real celebrity chefs are all escorted to the past, and you don't have the opportunity to treat others like this at all.

"This person should be nervous, in fact, I'm also very nervous, I don't know if I can fry it well!"

Wang Dong said, he was really nervous, although he hadn't started to participate in the competition yet, his heartbeat was still fast, so he deliberately chatted with Gu Zheng and Mu Mu, using the chat to distract and relieve pressure.

"Actually, the competition is nothing, you just have to be yourself as usual, and when you get inside, you just think you're still at home, just cook your own food, don't worry 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, in addition to the reason of self-confidence, there is also a point, the purpose of Gu Zheng is not to compete for the first, but to conquer the previous ten judges.

For him, as long as he conquers those ten judges with shredded chicken noodle soup, as long as he does this, he is a victory, and as for the victory of the competition, he doesn't care at all.

"Thank you, Brother Gu, I will be myself!"

Wang Dong took a deep breath, someone inside had already prepared their own food in advance, and the staff brought the food separately to the judges' seats, and the judges first rinsed their mouths, and then they all picked up a piece to taste.

After taking a bite, they stopped eating and began to score with the scorer in their hands, and there was a screen next to it, and the judges' scores would appear on the screen from time to time.

The first to do well was No. 8, and No. 8's score quickly became apparent, removing a high score of 7.2 and a minimum score of 5.3, and finally his total score was 6.3.

More than six points, a not good, not bad score, barely passed, No. 8 thought that he was the first to do a good job, the judges had not eaten other people's things, and would give themselves a high score, but I didn't expect it to be such a score, and his expression was a little gloomy.

After reading his score, No. 8 walked out with his things, but he didn't leave, he had to wait for the final total score, and after the game was all over, the top 100 in the total score would advance, and he had to know if he could make the cut.
