At the end of the judges' comments, it was time for the award.
The award was given by the deputy mayor with a million yuan prize and three stores on the street of West Lake. These three stores were not given to Gu Zheng. If they were really given to Gu Zheng, such a reward was much higher than the prize money. In West Lake, every inch of land was worth gold, not to mention the stores.
What was awarded to Gu Zheng was the use of three stores for three years.
"Gu Zheng, congratulations on winning first place. Do you have anything to say? You can tell everyone now!"
The host passed the microphone to Gu Zheng and looked at the young man with envy. He was so young, yet he had obtained first place in the Gourmet Food Competition. Furthermore, it was a highly valued first place. His future was bound to be limitless.
"Thank you for the judges' comments just now, and thank you to my friends who have always supported me, Wang Dong, Mu Mu, and friends outside. I can now tell you loudly that I didn't let you down!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, deafening cheers came from outside the venue, and even the people inside the venue heard it.
Most of the people knew that Gu Zheng's supporters were waiting outside the venue. Moreover, it wasn't just one, but a few thousand people. This made them envious, but they couldn't do anything about it. After all, they were all guaranteed entry and had never participated in the audition. Moreover, Gu Zheng was the only one who had entered the finals.
"Thank you to Mr. Wang of Xiaosong Noodle House. Without the sky noodles he provided, I couldn't make such a good noodle soup in the end!"
Master Wang, who was sitting in the audience, was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Zheng would take the initiative to mention the sky noodles at this time. This was tantamount to advertising for them, and it was an extraordinary advertisement.
Now it was a live broadcast, and it was a national live broadcast. It could be imagined how much impact it had on their sky noodles. Master Wang looked at Gu Zheng gratefully. This time, it was really right to exchange the sky noodles for Gu Zheng.
The sky noodles he made tasted good, but it was impossible to get the first place, but Gu Zheng had the strength to get the first place. If he had known that Gu Zheng got the first place, he would have said so. Let alone exchange, he would have given it to Gu Zheng for free.
How could he have known that Gu Zheng had taken a liking to them and wanted to cooperate with them for a long time in the future to obtain more normal-grade ingredients? Hence, he had specially mentioned it.
Gu Zheng's words also caused a commotion outside the venue. It turned out that the flour used by Gu Zheng in the end was really the sky noodles of the Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant. Unfortunately, the sky noodles of the Xiao Song Noodle Restaurant were never taken out. One had to rely on luck to eat it. The probability of winning the lottery was very low, which made many people feel helpless.
"Finally, I would like to thank all the judges and guests from Shen Cheng City. They have been encouraging me all the time. I have decided to make chicken noodle soup again after the competition to thank all the judges and guests from Shen Cheng City. Thank you all!"
Gu Zheng finished his speech. The thirty people from Shen Cheng City were very surprised, especially the guests. They applauded enthusiastically at once.
Gu Zheng actually wanted to make the noodle soup for them alone. This was simply an unexpected surprise. They had heard from others that the noodle soup was so delicious that they had long wanted to try it. Some people even wondered if there was any way to ask Gu Zheng to make a noodle soup for them. They were willing to pay some price. Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng proposed it himself.
"Qi Ling, this is not against the rules, is it?"
After Gu Zheng finished his words, he asked quickly in his heart. He couldn't take the initiative to invite the ten people, so he could only think of this way. This was a way to thank them, not an invitation.
"No, it's not against the rules!" Qi Ling answered quickly.
"That's good!"
Gu Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief. It was good that it was not against the rules. If it was not against the rules, there was hope to complete the test. His original purpose of participating in the competition was to complete the test, which he could not forget.
It was his inspiration to thank the people from Shen Cheng City. Now it seemed that this idea was very good. Although it was enough for ten people to taste the noodle soup, and the remaining twenty people were just lucky to follow him, as long as they could complete the task, it didn't matter if it was fifty or a hundred noodle soup, let alone thirty.
At the end of the live broadcast, the competition was officially over, and some people in the venue began to leave.
Gu Zheng talked to some people in the organizing committee and continued to use his competition platform to make chicken noodle soup. The chicken noodle soup had to be re-drawn. Gu Zheng cooked a new chicken. He didn't throw away the previous chicken. He asked Wang Dong to find a few bigger pots. So many supporters had been waiting for him outside, and he had to do something for them.
It was unrealistic to make a delicacy for each of them. There were more than 4,000 people, and Gu Zheng couldn't make it at all. He simply made some warm soup to warm them up. They had waited for so long.
This pot of warm soup was made with chicken noodle soup, and chicken blood was made into smaller pieces and put into it. It was a compressed version of chicken blood soup. Even so, it took several big pots to boil it at the same time, so that so many people outside could share a little.
It was not difficult to find a big pot. This was a food competition. After a while, Wang Dong found a big pot, but the fire was not easy to set up. Fortunately, there were many competition platforms here. Wang Dong used the stoves of the competition platforms to set up the pot. Three gas stoves were used to set up the pot.
The people waiting outside for Gu Zheng's triumphant return screamed again when they learned that Gu Zheng was cooking soup for them inside. They didn't wait here in vain today. They could eat the delicacies made by Gu Zheng.
Even if it was a big pot of soup, it was made by Gu Zheng. It was the soup made by the winner of this Hangzhou Food Competition.
Gu Zheng finally made more than 60 servings of chicken noodle soup. Some leaders wanted to try it, but the organizing committee couldn't do it. They could only come to ask for help. Gu Zheng needed their help at this time, so he couldn't refuse.
There were some other people who also wanted to try it, but they didn't have the nerve to ask. These were already a lot. If they went again, how many servings would Gu Zheng have to make? They were too embarrassed to ask for it.
Seeing that all the people from Shen Cheng City had finished eating the chicken noodle soup, Gu Zheng's heart was finally relieved.
Among the ten judges of the last competition, only Mr. Gao and Mr. Wu were judges this time. There were four judges in Shen Cheng City, but two of them were the vice presidents of the Shen Cheng Food Association. They didn't participate in Gu Zheng's competition last time.
The other eight people were actually guests. This time, they finally tasted Gu Zheng's delicacies again.
The taste was really good. They drank up all the soup. They also praised Gu Zheng in their hearts. No one expected that Gu Zheng didn't forget them in the end and specially made a serving for them.
Having said that, Gu Zheng's culinary skills were getting better and better each time. This shredded chicken noodle soup was really impeccable. They had never eaten such delicious noodle food. Among all the noodle dishes they had eaten, this was undoubtedly the best.
"Congratulations to the successor of Gokusen for completing the test task. Will the reward be given now or when we go back?"
The voice of the Tool Spirit suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's heart. This time, the Tool Spirit actually told him in advance that the test had been completed, unlike before when he didn't take the initiative to ask and didn't say anything.
"Go back!"
Gu Zheng immediately replied. It was very likely that he had to enter the primitive space to receive the reward. If he disappeared here, it would be a big joke. He didn't know what kind of rumors would spread tomorrow.
"That Sun Er wants to run away. Why don't you stop him?"
The Tool Spirit said again. In fact, the Tool Spirit had been staring at Sun Er. If not, it wouldn't take the initiative to remind Gu Zheng that the test had been completed. The Tool Spirit was very stingy and vengeful. Sun Er insulted Gokusen's cooking skills, which was equivalent to offending it. It was always thinking about punishing Sun Er.
Only then did Gu Zheng notice that Sun Er was indeed packing up and leaving with his people. After hesitating, Gu Zheng shook his head gently. "Let him go first. The monk can run away, but the seedlings can't. It's okay!"
This was the venue. It was not suitable to trouble Sun Er at this time. The Tool Spirit was reluctant, but it couldn't do anything if Gu Zheng didn't go.
