There was no host for the competition. Everyone's eyes were focused on the old man in the center.
"Let's start!"
The old man raised his wrist and looked at the time. He nodded slightly. It was just the right time. The Gourmet Challenge could officially begin.
As the old man's voice fell, the chef had already moved. All his ingredients were prepared in advance and placed on the table. Even the soup was hot. What he had to do was to quickly make the duck blood and vermicelli soup and serve the finished product.
After the old man said to start, Gu Zheng took out several bottles of imported ice spring mineral water, poured them into the pressure cooker, put the pickled duck into the pot, added the ingredients, and began to stew it on the fire.
"What, he didn't even prepare the soup?"
"How long will it take to stew the soup on the spot?"
"It's over. This time Don't Compete will definitely lose. Although there was no time limit before, the available time can't be so much slower than others. It will definitely affect the judges' score."
"That's right. Don't Compete is too arrogant. Even if he stews the soup until noon, the taste of the soup will be ordinary. It will definitely not be better than the old soup that others have stewed for a long time!"
Many people around were talking about it. The live host of the website was also a little dumbfounded. Don't Compete didn't even prepare the soup, but stewed it on the spot. How long would it take to make his duck blood and vermicelli soup? How could he commentate on the live broadcast?
It was difficult to say that the duck blood and vermicelli soup of the executive chef was ready. The duck blood and vermicelli soup of the executive chef was ready, but Don't Compete was still stewing. The judges had eaten the duck blood and vermicelli soup of the executive chef, but Don't Compete's soup was not ready.
If that was the case, he didn't need to be the host of the live broadcast. The fact that the soup was not prepared in advance made everyone feel surprised and gave him a problem.
"Damn Don't Compete!"
Mumu clenched her fists tightly and bit her lips. Her eyes seemed to be burning. She was the person who supported Don't Compete the most in the editorial department of the website. She had done so much preparation work for him, but she didn't expect that Don't Compete was so childish. He came late, and the ingredients were not fully prepared.
Who didn't know that stewing soup took a long time, and the soup stewed in a short time didn't have that taste at all?
The judges were also discussing in low voices. The head chef glanced at Buzheng with disdain in his eyes. He began to prepare his ingredients to make this bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup.
Gu Zheng wasn't in a hurry at all. He turned on another fire and placed a small pot on it. Similarly, he added mineral water and some other ingredients and began to cook the duck blood.
While he was cooking the duck blood, Gu Zheng kept one hand on the pressure cooker. No one knew that the water in the pressure cooker was already boiling. Under the control of his immortal power, a pot of fragrant and thick soup was quickly taking shape.
"Making soup really requires a lot of immortal power!"
In just a short while, Gu Zheng felt that he had lost 10% of his immortal energy. This immortal energy was enough for him to upgrade many fried eggs.
The head chef had already finished cooking the duck blood. He scooped it out along with the duck liver and intestines into a bowl and started cooking the vermicelli.
The duck blood on Gu Zheng's side was also cooked, and he scooped it out as well. The fire on both sides was lit, and a faint fragrance quickly filled the entire hall. Those who smelled it felt their Adam's apple moving unnaturally. This smell was really fragrant, but they didn't know who was releasing it.
Most people subconsciously looked at the head chef. No matter how they looked at it, the head chef's progress was faster than Gu Zheng's. The fragrance must have come from him.
The head chef's vermicelli was soon ready. He cooked the vermicelli separately from the duck blood. He knew very well that the fishy smell in the soup was a big disadvantage. This time, he specially prepared enough ingredients to suppress the fishy smell.
Gu Zheng also began to cook the vermicelli. He changed the water. His vermicelli was slightly different from the head chef's. His vermicelli looked whiter and shinier.
The head chef glanced at Gu Zheng. He put the vermicelli into a bowl and poured a big spoonful of steaming duck soup over it. He had already prepared the ingredients, duck intestines, and duck liver. After this bowl of soup, his duck blood and vermicelli soup was ready to be served. It could be served for the judges to taste and comment.
Uncompetitive's vermicelli was also cooked. He put it into a bowl prepared in advance. At this time, he released his hand from the pressure cooker and prepared to open it. Previously, he had only used one hand to do everything, so he wasn't slow at all.
As soon as the pressure cooker was opened, the faint fragrance from before instantly became stronger. Everyone's noses couldn't help but sniff, including the old gourmet.
At this time, everyone realized that the previous fragrance didn't come from the head chef. It came from the soup that Gu Zheng had just cooked.
Similarly, a bowl of steaming duck soup was poured out. The duck blood and vermicelli soup in front of Gu Zheng was also ready. Gu Zheng put the duck blood and vermicelli soup on a plate and walked out with the head chef. The two looked at each other and finally placed their dishes in front of the judges.
"What? His soup is ready?"
"The fragrance just now was actually from Uncompetitive's soup?"
"How could the soup be cooked so quickly? Even the pressure cooker can't do it. This is not scientific!"
The discussion broke out again. If the judges hadn't seen Gu Zheng put the water and duck into the pot, they would have thought that it was a thick soup that had been simmered for several hours. It was absolutely impossible that it had only been simmered for a few minutes.
The head chef also looked at Gu Zheng with some surprise. He was also very surprised, but he didn't say anything.
Even if Gu Zheng had made the soup in such a short time, it couldn't be compared to his pot of stewed soup. The stewed soup he used today was the real stewed soup, which he had made himself for more than ten years. Normally, ordinary people wouldn't be able to eat such stewed soup.
In their restaurant, only the main store provided a small amount of stewed soup every day, and most of it was reserved in advance. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to eat it at all.
"Two bowls of duck blood and vermicelli soup are ready. Everyone, please!"
Manager Wu said with a smile. He also recognized that Gu Zheng was the chef who made the fried eggs. He was surprised, but at the same time, he felt more assured. Gu Zheng's fried eggs were good, so his cooking skills must be good. It was not certain who would win this competition.
"Uncompetitive's vermicelli soup is also ready. Incredible, really incredible!"
The host was very surprised. His mood was the same as the content of the live broadcast. The soup was ready in such a short time, and it was so fragrant. Just smelling it was enough to stimulate one's appetite.
"In such a short time, host, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
"That's right. We saw the photo just now. Uncompetitive has just started to simmer the soup. How could it be ready?"
"Is Uncompetitive's stewed soup a cover? He has already prepared it in advance. It doesn't make sense for him to do this!"
"Uncompetitive means uncompetitive. I believe in him. He will definitely win."
The number of people who were following the live broadcast had reached 20,000. As soon as the host's words came out, countless comments swarmed in. Among them, there were people who didn't believe it, and there were also people who doubted it. At the same time, there were also hardcore fans of Gu Zheng who supported him.
When the live broadcast was lively, the two bowls of vermicelli soup had been divided into 11 small bowls by the waiter. Because there were 11 judges this time, Gu Zheng and the head chef had made enough duck blood and vermicelli soup, so it was no problem to divide it into 11 small bowls.
