The rice porridge in the pot was cleaned by Mu-Mu.
She really added it. Her little head was in the pot. In the end, Gu Zheng couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed the pot and forced the pot to wash it.
"You actually eat alone. Don't do it again!"
Mu-Mu felt sorry, but she also knew that there was no more. When Gu Zheng washed the pot, she glared at him again. This time, Gu Zheng really didn't think of Mu-Mu when he made breakfast. It was mainly in the hotel. Gu Zheng thought that Mu-Mu would go to the hotel for breakfast.
"Well, next time you do it!"
Looking at Mu-Mu's round eyes, Gu Zheng could only agree first. Seeing Gu Zheng agree, Mu-Mu's face immediately improved. The speed of her face change made Gu Zheng very surprised.
"That's more like it. Hey, how do you make porridge in this pot?"
Seeing Gu Zheng come back after washing the pot, Mu-Mu finally found something wrong. Gu Zheng's pot was an ordinary small soup pot. She didn't pay attention when she was eating. Now she found out that such a pot could not be cooked by herself.
"I have a small stove. People don't let me use it here. I put it away after using it. Let's go. I can't be late!"
Gu Zheng went out of the door with a box. Mu-Mu immediately went out, and her eyes widened. "No, Gu Zheng, we came together. You didn't bring this box?"
The two came together by high-speed rail. Gu Zheng brought very few things. Mu-Mu clearly remembered that he had never seen this box.
"I asked someone to bring it to me. It was sent to me last night. It's inconvenient to bring so many things on the high-speed rail!"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes. Mu-Mu had a lot of questions. In fact, he had been carrying these things all the time. They were all in the chaotic space.
"It turned out to be like this!"
Mu-Mu didn't ask. Although this box was not big, it was really troublesome to take it on the high-speed rail. Mu-Mu didn't think about it. Since a friend came, why didn't he take the friend's car directly?
In fact, Mumu Zhen asked, and Gu Zheng also answered that his friend would come in the afternoon and would arrive in the evening. He needed to register first, so he came first.
Gu Zheng's preliminary round was in the ninth arena. The ninth arena was located in the university town. It used an indoor basketball court that had not been built yet. Although it was simple, there was no need to worry about dirtying it. After all, this was a food competition. There was fire and oil, so it was easy to dirty and damage the basketball court's floor.
There were all kinds of venues for the other preliminaries. Most of them were indoors. There were only three outdoor venues, and they all had sheds. The main reason was that there was a forecast of rain for the next few days. If it really rained outside, it would be very troublesome.
When Gu Zheng arrived at the venue for the preliminary round, there were already quite a few people there. For this Gourmet Competition, all the kitchen utensils and tableware had to be prepared by themselves. The officials only provided a fire source and a preparation table. There were no restrictions on the food that could be cooked. You could cook whatever dish you thought you were good at, but there was a time limit. Everyone could not cook for more than half an hour.
When Gu Zheng arrived, the venue had already been arranged. There were a total of twenty-five competition platforms, which meant that twenty-five people could compete at the same time. In addition, there were twenty judges who would score.
The preliminary round was not so troublesome. Each judge would score ten points. Finally, the highest score and the lowest score would be removed. The remaining average score would be the final score.
In each preliminary round, the top one hundred with the highest score would enter the next round. The officials had already given all the statistics. In the end, there were a total of 5,523 people who had successfully registered. There were only twenty preliminary rounds, and only the top one hundred in each preliminary round would be selected. This meant that only two thousand people could pass the first preliminary round. More than half of the people would be eliminated at one time. The competition was very cruel.
"No. 1 to 25, get ready. No. 26 to 50, wait!"
A staff member walked out and shouted at the contestants waiting outside. In the first three rounds of the preliminary round, the contestants were basically ordinary chefs. Those famous chefs and chefs with status were directly sent to the fourth round of the preliminary round. Those who weren't sent to the fourth round of the preliminary round were either not famous enough or not high enough status.
Therefore, for the first three preliminary rounds, whether it was the media or the officials, they did not pay much attention to them. They still paid attention to the more than two hundred famous chefs who were directly guaranteed to enter.
Gu Zheng looked at his number plate. He was No. 73. According to this number, he was in the third batch of people to participate in the competition.
"I'm a little nervous. There are so many people!"
"Me too. This time, only one hundred people can pass. I don't know if they can pass!"
"Where did you come from? Look at the chili you brought. Could it be that you are cooking Hunan cuisine?"
The surrounding people, regardless of whether they knew each other or not, were all discussing in low voices. Numbers 1 to 25 had already entered the venue. Many people were also paying attention to them. Today, everyone here was a competitor. When they were preparing, they could also observe others.
"Aren't you busy with your work? Why are you here?"
Gu Zheng asked Mumu. Mumu also had a job. She had to follow the whole competition report. Only one person was needed in the beginning. Someone would come to help on the fourth day of the preliminary round. The final round would be broadcasted live on the website.
"Isn't this my job? You are a chef in Shen City and a commentator on our website. Isn't it the same for me to follow you?"
Mumu looked at him strangely. It was very casual to follow and report. Anyway, she was at the competition site. She could follow and report on anyone. She might as well follow Gu Zheng.
"Up to you. But I feel that you'd better not follow me. I have nothing to write about here!"
Gu Zheng shook his head with a wry smile. Mumu's temper had not changed at all. He had to be careful when talking to her. If he was not careful, he would be choked.
The first batch of twenty-five people had already put their kitchen utensils, took out their ingredients, and began to cook. They only had half an hour. If they didn't cook well, they would fail. If they failed, they wouldn't have any points. It was impossible to advance.
One group took half an hour. Two groups could be carried out in one hour, fifty people. However, because it took time for the judges to score and clean up the scene, it basically took one and a half hours for two groups of people. It would take a whole day for more than two hundred people to compete.
They ate all day and commented. Many people envied these judges, but they didn't know the pain of the judges themselves.
Eating all the time sounded good, but this was the preliminary round. Who knew how these people would cook? It was okay if it was delicious. If it was not delicious, it would be painful. The key was that they had to eat all day. These judges were psychologically prepared. Today's day was definitely not easy.
There were more than 270 contestants participating in the competition in each venue. Even if each person ate one mouthful, they had to eat more than 270 mouthfuls, which was not a small number.
Those who had participated in the food competition knew that the most important thing was the judges' mouthfuls, so they didn't need to cook a lot, as long as it was delicious. If the taste was not good, it would inevitably have a great impact.
Twenty-five people, all took out their own things. Some people who were fast had already begun to cook.
"Snake, snake!"
Mumu suddenly screamed. Among the twenty-five people, one of them took out a live snake and killed it. It seemed that he was going to make snake-related food. Some experienced chefs couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
The judges were not all men. This time, seven of the twenty judges were women. Generally speaking, the female judges were not interested in snake food, not to mention the live performance of killing a snake.
Sure enough, several female judges have frowned. If the first impression is not good, it will cause disgust in the heart. The chef who made snake meat is doomed to not get a high score today. The frowning female judges will never give him a high score.
