Even Wang Dong himself looked at the big screen in disbelief.
9.09, 0.01 points away from 9.1. This was a score he didn't even dare to think about before the competition. Before the competition, he thought that it would be good enough if he could maintain the previous score.
After all, the judges this time were more professional and demanding. It was already not easy to get them to give the previous score.
"It's Big Brother Gu!"
In an instant, Wang Dong understood everything. He knew why he had such a score. It was all because of Gu Zheng's help.
His cooking skills were the same as before. There were no changes. Even if he was more focused, it was impossible for his cooking skills to improve so much all of a sudden. If it couldn't be explained by his cooking skills, then it could only be the ingredients.
Before the competition, Gu Zheng changed three ingredients for him. It was after changing these three ingredients that his Egg-Fried Rice not only surpassed the previous score, but also rushed to the ninth grade. There was hope for him to advance.
After thinking it through, his eyes were slightly moist. At the same time, he was very glad that he had really met a benefactor this time. He didn't expect that after knowing each other for only a few days, Gu Zheng and Mumu not only provided him with a place to live and encouraged him, but also directly helped him to participate in the competition, so that he could go further in the competition.
When Wang Dong was secretly moved, Gu Zheng's score also came out.
Gu Zheng still made fried eggs. It wasn't the finals yet, so he didn't need to make shredded chicken noodle soup. Fried eggs were enough for the competition now.
9.37 points was Gu Zheng's final score. He was no longer the first in the competition, but the second in the competition.
The first was Zhao Fu, who got the tenth place in the last food competition. He didn't make West Lake Vinegar Fish this time, but the dish was very good. His final score was 9.51 points, the highest score in the first competition, and also the highest score in all the competitions.
Zhao Fu had participated in three Chinese Food Competitions, and he had entered the finals three times. In the last competition, he had entered the top ten. Entering the finals three times in a row was a proof of his strength. In addition, he also had the tenth place. His score wasn't surprising to others. Instead, it was normal.
It would be abnormal if he got a low score.
However, no one would have thought that Gu Zheng, a young man in his early twenties, would have such a high score. Moreover, Gu Zheng had made an easy fried egg. Many people were curious about the taste of the fried egg. Some people even wanted to chat with Gu Zheng after the competition and try his fried egg.
Gu Zheng was no longer number one, but he wasn't upset about it. It was good that he wasn't number one, at least he wouldn't be the center of attention.
After the third group's competition ended, Gu Zheng did not leave. Today, all the competitions would leave at the same time, unless you had something to tell the organizing committee in advance.
Group 4 and Group 5 also finished their matches in the afternoon.
There wasn't anything special about the two groups. Those who participated in the competition were either ordinary chefs who had killed their way to the top, or those famous chefs with achievements. Their dishes were basically not bad.
After the fifth group's competition ended, the 150 people in the first venue had the lowest score of 7.70, and the highest score was Zhao Fu's 9.51. There were a total of 16 people in the other nine groups, and these 16 people could all advance. Gu Zheng was third in the first venue, and someone in the fifth group had obtained 9.43 points.
The other two venues also finished their matches. Gu Zheng was in the first venue, so he knew a little about the second and third venues.
Originally, mobile phones were not allowed in the venue, but some famous chefs had a good relationship with the organizing committee. They could ask some people in the organizing committee, and they weren't restricted from bringing mobile phones.
They were the ones who had leaked the information about the second and third venues.
Wang Dong in the second venue was mentioned by them. When he heard that Wang Dong had obtained 9.09 points, Gu Zheng had a faint smile on his face. Wang Dong's Egg-Fried Rice was indeed better. 9.09 points, there was no problem in advancing this time.
In the third venue, there was also a dish that had obtained a high score. It was Xiao Song Noodle House's Master Wang's Sky Noodles.
The final score of the Sky Noodles was 9.35 points, which was only 0.2 points less than Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng hadn't eaten Sky Noodles, but he knew the ingredients. He wasn't surprised that Sky Noodles could obtain such a score.
Master Wang had obtained 9.35 points, and the people in the third venue were very understanding. No one talked about it or questioned it.
Master Wang of the Xiaosong Noodle House was a famous chef and a member of the Chinese Imperial Chef Association. His Sky Noodles had been famous for a long time. Many people were convinced. It was normal for him to have such a score since he brought the Sky Noodles here.
However, Gu Zheng's fried eggs and Wang Dong's Egg-Fried Rice made many people talk about them. Even though they knew that they had good results in the preliminary round, they didn't expect that they could obtain such a result among so many famous chefs. They even fought their way out of the encirclement.
After the competition ended, some people were happy, and some were sad.
Knowing that they couldn't advance, some chefs left in disappointment. Some were not convinced and went to the organizing committee to talk about it. In addition, some people wanted to go back to study more and work harder, so that they could come again in the next competition. Everyone left with different attitudes.
When Gu Zheng returned to his rented place, Wang Dong and Mumu had already returned. The second venue was closer.
"You did a good job today!"
"Thank you, Brother Gu!"
Gu Zheng and Wang Dong spoke almost at the same time. After they finished speaking, they were stunned for a while, and then they laughed.
"Gu Zheng, I didn't expect that Wang Dong would also advance today. You helped me solve a problem in my manuscript. I've decided to have an exclusive interview with Wang Dong, and it will be published tomorrow!"
Wang Dong advanced again, which was not only beyond Mumu's expectation, but also beyond the expectations of many people who had participated in the competition before. In today's competition, their group of more than 5,000 people had suffered a heavy loss.
On the third day, there were only 200 people who advanced in the preliminary competition. On the fourth day, there were less than 20 people who advanced again, less than one in ten. It could be seen that the competition was cruel, and it also proved that those famous chefs were indeed different. There was a reason why they could be guaranteed.
Less than 20 people advanced, and Wang Dong was among them. In addition to his age and the food he cooked, there were too many materials to write about, so Mumu decided to write about him.
Of course, there was another reason. Wang Dong was with them, so writing about Wang Dong was the most convenient.
On the forum, there were a lot of posts about today's competition. The names of many famous chefs began to appear, especially Zhao Fu, who was very convinced by him. There were almost no posts about him.
When the competition was over, some people deliberately counted the 200 people who advanced yesterday and the number of people who advanced again today. As a result, they found that there were only 18 people. The list of these 18 people was also listed one by one.
As soon as this post appeared, it caused an uproar. Although they were mentally prepared that a group of people would be eliminated once the famous chefs participated, no one expected that it would be so miserable. 90% of them were eliminated on the first day.
When these people were in the competition, they couldn't wait for all their opponents to be eliminated. But when the competition was over and they were eliminated, they hoped that the contestants who advanced could go further and more. After all, these people represented them and were in the same class as them.
Now that so many people were eliminated at once, many people couldn't stand it, and people began to scold them.
