Chapter 150 Gu Zheng Takes the Stage (Additional Chapter 2 for the Leader Tianping 0nline)

Many chefs in the first venue complained when they saw such a strong opponent, including the famous chefs who were recommended.

Why did all these masters come to them? In this way, the competition in their venue will be even greater. There are only so many qualifying places. These few people almost firmly occupied one, and the rest of the people can only scramble for other qualifying places.

They didn't know that the second and third venues at this time were no less surprised than them.

"Zhou Peilin is here too!"

"Su Shaohua, I saw Su Shaohua!"

"Am I seeing correctly? That's Mr. Ouyang?"

"Mr. Jiang is here too. This competition is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

In the three venues, every time a very famous chef came in, there would be a small burst of exclamations. Zhou Peilin is from Sucheng and is also one of the most famous chefs in Sucheng. He also participated in the Chinese Food Competition and entered the finals, but he never made it to the top ten.

Su Shaohua, a Hunan cuisine master, won the second place in the Hunan Food Competition last year and was in the top 30 of the 13th Chinese Food Competition.

Mr. Ouyang, a 70-year-old man, is a master of Cantonese cuisine. It is not a problem for him to be a judge. He actually came to participate in the competition. Moreover, Mr. Ouyang was among the top ten in the 4th and 5th Chinese Food Competitions. Although the former Chinese Food Competitions are not as influential as the latter ones, and the standards are not as high as the latter ones, they are national competitions after all.

Mr. Jiang, a famous Sichuan cuisine chef, has never entered the finals of the Chinese Food Competition, but he has many disciples and his most powerful disciple was the seventh in the last Chinese Food Competition.

A good teacher produces a good disciple. Although the disciple is better than the master, he is not much worse as a master. People like him will definitely get a place in the finals.

There are basically people who can enter the finals in the three venues, which is also deliberately done by the organizing committee.

In order to invite these people, the organizing committee has spent a lot of effort. Now it seems that the effect is very good, which makes the organizing committee very satisfied. With the participation of these famous chefs, the influence of this Hangzhou Food Competition will be greater.

Only when the influence is achieved can this competition be held for a long time in the future, otherwise it may only be this session.

Many places have held food competitions, many of which are held in the style of the Chinese Food Competition, but not many can really be held for a long time. At present, there are only three places in the country, Guangdong Province, Hunan Province and Xi'an.

The chefs of the three major venues soon arrived, and all the judges took their seats.

The number of judges in each of the three major venues is 30. For the organizing committee, now is the real competition. The previous three days were just a screening from the public to see if there are any fish that slip through the net.

This model is not their first creation, but they are the best.

Thirty people participated in the competition at the same time, which is a lot of people, five more than the 25 people on the first day, but this venue is larger and the participants are more professional, so there will definitely not be the chaos on the first day.

On the rostrum, there are wooden boards and glass partitions between the competition platforms, which can reduce the impact when they cook.

There was a host for this competition. There was no host before. Everyone just went in after being called. The host announced the start of the competition and even introduced several of the most famous chefs in the first group. After the first group of thirty people came on stage, the venue became quiet. Most of the people who were not participating in the competition sat up and watched the competition.

All the contestants are their opponents. Only by observing others more and knowing yourself and the enemy can you be more confident.

Among the first group of thirty people, only a dozen people really made it out of the preliminary round on the first day. These people were all nervous. There were also some famous chefs among them, but they were far inferior to these recommended chefs.

They only now know what kind of masters are participating in this competition.

Some people still regret that if they had known that the standards were so high, they would not have signed up. Now it’s good, they will definitely stop here and can’t even enter the finals.

Some people secretly feel lucky that they came. Being able to compete with so many predecessors on the same stage is also a kind of affirmation for them, and they will have more capital to show off in the future.

People with different mindsets have different views on the same thing.

In the first group of competitions, everyone was paying attention to a man named Qin Fanghai.

Qin Fanghai is a famous Fujian chef with a high reputation in the local area. He cooked the famous Fujian Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Originally, he did not plan to cook his specialty in the first round, but seeing so many people who were not inferior to him in the same field, he was under great pressure and directly brought out his specialty.

The judges will also be replaced in the two preliminary rounds, and the judges will be reshuffled tomorrow. Although some judges have eaten the dishes made by the same contestant in succession, such judges are in the minority.

The first group of competitions ended quickly, and only three people used the extended time, and the final time was 75 minutes.

The judges this time are also different from the previous ones. The ninety judges in the three venues are all food critics invited from all over the country. The previous preliminary rounds used local judges. This time, for the sake of fairness, a large number of judges from other places were invited.

Of course, the number of local judges is still the largest, a full one-third. After all, it is a local competition, and local chefs and cuisines must be given some points.

Among the thirty people, the highest score was from Qin Fanghai, who scored 9.23 points. The lowest score was from a chef who advanced yesterday, with a score of 7.87 points.

The scoring of today's competition is also different from the previous ones. It is no longer an integer score, but a decimal score. This is how the scoring is done until the finals.

There are thirty judges. Remove the highest score and the lowest score. The final score is accurate to two decimal places and rounded up.

The lowest score is close to 7.9 points, which shows the level of the chefs participating in the competition. Moreover, there are more than one person who scored above 9 points, and there are as many as five people.

The second group finished the competition quickly. This time the highest score was 9.15 points and the lowest score was 7.99 points. The highest score was reduced a lot, but the lowest score increased. The lowest score was almost 8 points.

The two groups finished the competition, which made those who did not participate in the competition more stressed. This is the real competition, the real fight.

Gu Zheng was in the third group. He didn't think too much. When the list of the third group was announced, he went on stage. He didn't bring an assistant. He brought his things to the stage and came to his own competition stage.

"Is he Gu Zheng?"

"Yes, it's him. He won the first place in the early auditions by making fried eggs!"

"I watched his fried egg video. To be honest, I can't make it!"

"He's so young, it's interesting!"

As soon as Gu Zheng went up, many people in the contestant seats whispered. All the contestants who had rushed out before didn't know the existence of the Fried Egg King. Even those famous chefs who were recommended had mostly heard of Gu Zheng's name.

For those who were recommended, the previous three days of competition were auditions. They didn't look at the people who were selected, but the first place for three consecutive days still had a certain appeal to them, not to mention that this first place was so young and made fried eggs.

The ninth update, there will be more to come!
