On the forum, apart from Wang Dong and Gu Zheng, there were also some posts talking about the people who were good at cooking in other venues.
Twenty venues. At this time, the third group's competition was basically over. Each group had ten people, so there were six hundred people who had completed the competition in twenty venues. Among these six hundred people, Wang Dong's score was currently ranked tenth.
The chef in the fifth venue had the highest score at the moment, with 9.1 points. He had scored 9.2 points the day before. There were more than five thousand people in the competition yesterday, and more than ten people had scored more than nine points. Gu Zheng was first, and he was ninth.
Today, he was cooking the same dish as yesterday, Dongpo Pork. He had prepared some of the ingredients in advance.
Dongpo Pork was a Hangzhou dish. This person was also a chef in Hangzhou. He was the owner of an ordinary restaurant. He had been keeping a low profile and was not very famous. No one had expected him to make a name for himself in this competition.
It was already amazing to be in the top three in a competition with more than five thousand people. The judges had also said that all the contestants who had scored more than nine points were not weaker than those who had been guaranteed a place in the competition. Some of them were even stronger than those who had been guaranteed a place in the competition.
Most of those who had been guaranteed a place in the competition were famous, but when it came to real strength, some of them were not as good as those who had scored high points.
That person's Dongpo Pork had also been mentioned many times on the forum. There were also doubts, such as that he did not have enough time to cook the Dongpo Pork. Were the semi-finished ingredients made by himself? However, there were not as many doubts as Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's side was almost full of doubts.
He was also the first person who had scored more than nine points today. It was inevitable that someone like him would be qualified today. Moreover, as long as there were no accidents tomorrow, he would be able to rush out of the three preliminary rounds and enter the fourth round. As for whether he could enter the final round, it would depend on his performance and luck.
Today's competition was 100 to 30. In general, six hundred people out of two thousand would be qualified. Tomorrow, these six hundred people would compete in ten venues. There were sixty people in each venue, and the competition system was 60 to 20. In the end, only 20 people could advance to the fourth round.
In other words, in three days of competition, only two hundred people could advance to the fourth round and compete with those who had been guaranteed a place in the final round.
This time, the finals would be broadcasted live on TV. Although it was not a satellite channel, it was still a very famous local TV station. When the time came, there would be more people paying attention to it.
There were only thirty spots for the finals. Everyone knew the rules of the competition from the very beginning. Whether or not they could make it to the finals was the key. Not even half of the thousands of people had made it to the finals. There was still a more difficult and bitter road ahead of them.
The fourth group's competition ended very quickly. In Gu Zheng's venue, Wang Dong was still ranked first. However, there were two eight-point winners in this group, and both of them had 8.0 points. However, they had both scored more than seven points yesterday. Today, they had scored eight points, which was a huge improvement.
In the fifth group's competition, someone with 8.3 points appeared. All the competitors with more than 8 points would have no problem passing this round. After the fifth group's competition, the number of people with 9 points in all the venues increased. There were already eight people with 9 points. Only Gu Zheng's venue didn't have that number.
After a short break at noon, the sixth group came in the afternoon. Gu Zheng found that the number of people outside not only did not decrease with the time of the competition, but also increased.
Mumu also noticed this. After a rough calculation, the number of people standing outside had exceeded 1,500, and it was still increasing. The number of people in their venue was even ten times the number of people in some venues.
These people were all here for Gu Zheng. Everyone knew that the Fried Egg King was about to go on the stage.
"Sixth group, get ready!"
The staff member shouted at the door. Gu Zheng had already walked over with his box. Seeing him, the staff member looked back and saw a staff member in his forties coming over.
Gu Zheng still did not know that the person who came over was the person in charge of the ninth venue.
"Mr. Gu, let's talk alone first!"
The person in charge invited Gu Zheng in and told him something that surprised Gu Zheng.
Although surprised, Gu Zheng still agreed. What the person in charge said did not affect him much.
The person in charge looked for Gu Zheng to talk about something very simple. Because there are too many controversies about Gu Zheng on the forum now. Even some famous chefs who are guaranteed to enter the competition have come out to question the fairness of this competition. They don't believe that a fried egg can get such a high score. Under these pressures, the Gourmet Competition decided to record the process of Gu Zheng making fried eggs alone.
This requires a camera to be used in front of Gu Zheng. A camera in front of him may affect the process of making delicious food, so the person in charge came over and said this to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng did not refuse his request. The camera may affect others, but it will not affect him.
He is a food critic and has participated in many activities. The number of times he has faced the camera is too many. It's just that most of those scenes are inside the village and rarely on TV. But this time, the recorded video will not be on TV. It's just to dispel the doubts of those who have doubts.
Moreover, they only record the process of making fried eggs, not themselves.
Seeing Gu Zheng agree, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Zheng did not agree, they will find a way to set up a remote camera. In any case, they must record the process of Gu Zheng making fried eggs. Yesterday's judges said that Gu Zheng's fried eggs are different from others from the beginning to the end. It brings a kind of shock, a shock from the soul.
"He's here!"
The judges also couldn't help but hold their breath and look at Gu Zheng walking into the competition venue. The most anticipated and most curious food today is about to appear.
Gu Zheng walked into the venue. The people outside kept taking photos with their mobile phones. The forum's homepage instantly became Gu Zheng's world. It was all related to Gu Zheng's posts. Wang Dong and the previous chef's post with more than nine points were left behind.
Gu Zheng came to his competition platform. The layout of the platform was very simple, just like yesterday's. It's just that he was at the very edge, some distance away from the others.
There is a separate camera here. In order not to disturb others, he was set up a little farther away. The organizer took great pains to protect the competition.
"You can start now!"
The cameraman was very polite. He had received strict instructions before that he was only allowed to shoot and not talk. He was also not allowed to affect Gu Zheng's cooking in any way. Otherwise, he would be severely punished.
With a camera next to him, he felt a little strange. After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng cast a calming spell on himself. His spirit immediately became much better, and he completely ignored the cameras around him.
Heat up the pan, heat up the oil, and beat the eggs.
It was a familiar and smooth process. The cameraman looked at Gu Zheng under the camera, and his eyes widened a lot. Gu Zheng's movements were full of a kind of beauty from any angle. The simple movements were full of beauty. It made the cameraman feel that Gu Zheng was not cooking, but dancing.
Gu Zheng's fried eggs were cooked by Gokusen. Gokusen was a person who pursued perfection. Although he didn't cook well in his early years, this was Earth. Even if the movements were not so perfect in Gokusen's eyes, they were still shocking here.
