Gu Zheng wanted to rest for fifteen minutes. Actually, it was to improve the ingredients. Because he was going to enter the chaotic space, he was alone.
After making sure that the door wouldn't be opened from the outside, Gu Zheng was relieved and entered the chaotic space.
The immortal rice and immortal vegetables that were newly planted in the chaotic space had sprouted. Gu Zheng ripened one of the ten immortal chickens and brought it out. The space automatically gave him another immortal chicken. Now, nine immortal chickens were slightly bigger and one was very small. The rewards in the chaotic space weren't one-time. As long as they were brought out of the chaotic space, they would be replenished.
Gu Zheng was quite satisfied with this. It meant that he would have an endless supply of these immortal world ingredients in the future. He didn't have to worry about not having them after eating them.
Concentrating, Gu Zheng took out the mineral water and began to improve the quality of the mineral water. Before, he had only improved eggs and not water. He didn't know how much immortal energy was needed to improve water and how much could be improved in fifteen minutes.
Outside, many people were whispering. President Hua whispered a few words to his secretary, who immediately understood and left.
The secretary went to the media area and asked a familiar reporter to go out. He quietly took out a red packet. No matter what, today's news had to speak up for them. If President Hua found fault in the third round and won, he had to say more good things. At the same time, he had to step on them and make sure that the news was beneficial to them.
The red packet wasn't small and felt quite thick. This red packet contained two thousand yuan.
Originally, President Hua only planned to give five hundred yuan. This kind of small competition was enough. After all, most of the media that came were small media and websites. The articles they wrote wouldn't be published in important sections. This was just a small gourmet competition. It wasn't big news.
But after losing consecutively, his mentality changed. If he wanted to completely reverse the impact of this competition, he had to pay more and increase the original plan by four times.
Four times. Most of these media were small reporters. Normally, they wouldn't have this kind of money. President Hua believed that they wouldn't refuse.
Holding the red packet, the reporter was indeed moved, but he felt more helpless in his heart.
Was this person an idiot or a fool? Or were the people in their company all fools? They were just small media, joining in the fun. The real key was the gourmet channel. It was a portal. The traffic of these media added together couldn't be compared to the gourmet channel.
Most importantly, didn't they know that the portal was doing a live broadcast?
This was a live broadcast. Everything that happened at the scene had already been broadcasted. He had just heard that the number of viewers in the live broadcast was about to exceed 50,000. The host was so excited. These 50,000 viewers were basically people who paid attention to delicacies. In other words, their readers were also these people. In the future, the number of readers who would read their articles and participate in the live broadcast would definitely be many.
Shen City is a big city with tens of millions of people. However, not everyone is interested in food every day. Most of the people who really like food and study food are young people. Gu Zheng's article has 100,000 readers, which is already considered high. The 50,000 people in the live broadcast room are indeed not small.
Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be harming them if they were told to fabricate things in black and white? Or did they think that everyone else was blind and stupid?
"I'll accept it. I'll do my best. But as a reporter, I won't lie. As long as you win the third round, I'll write that it's a draw. How about that?"
After hesitating for a while, the reporter said this. After all, they knew each other. Between acquaintances, he still had to give them face.
In addition, this red packet was indeed very tempting to him. Usually, he wouldn't have such extra income. However, it was impossible for him to write it according to what they said. He wouldn't joke about his career. He could only try his best to speak for them and not mention too much about the reasons for the previous two draws and losses.
This way, even if the readers weren't satisfied, they wouldn't harp on it. After all, what he wrote was true and not fake news.
This result made the little secretary a little unhappy. However, when he saw that the reporter would return his red packet if he didn't agree, he finally nodded. After that, he found reporters from other media outlets to talk to them alone. The results surprised him even more.
Today, including the Food Channel, there were a total of eight media outlets. Out of the remaining seven, only four accepted the red packet. The remaining three didn't accept it. One of them even bluntly told him that as long as he could settle the Food Channel, everything would be fine. If he couldn't, they wouldn't be the bad guys.
It was true that people in the same industry were enemies. However, people in the same industry also had a bottom line. Some bottom lines couldn't be touched.
In addition, those who accepted the red packet were the same as the first reporter. They could write good things about them, but they wouldn't fabricate or deliberately suppress and smear them. After all, everything here had been broadcasted live. There was no room for them to fake it.
Just as the little secretary finished his work, Gu Zheng's rest time was also up. He walked out of the room and was in good spirits.
In terms of weight, water was much heavier than eggs. However, his water was very pure. It wasn't much more complicated to improve it. In the chaotic space, he could improve the quality of two bottles of water in one minute. He only improved it for a total of five minutes and didn't use much immortal power.
Ten bottles of water to make a bowl of chicken blood soup was enough for him.
Ordinary immortal chicken, ordinary water. With these two ordinary ingredients and Gokusen's culinary skills, Gu Zheng was even more confident in making this bowl of chicken blood soup.
"Nope, how's your rest?"
Seeing Gu Zheng come out, Elder Gao asked with a smile. He still approved of Gu Zheng very much. Gu Zheng's fried eggs and duck blood vermicelli soup had completely conquered him.
For gourmets, they had eaten a lot of good things, but no one would complain about having too much good things. Everyone wanted to eat more delicious food. Usually, because they ate too many good things, it was difficult to find something better. Today, Gu Zheng had conquered them with two consecutive dishes and had already gained their favor.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Gao. I'm ready and can start at any time!"
Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. He was in good spirits and in good condition. The judges looked at each other and then Elder Gao announced the start of the competition.
This time, there was no head chef involved, nor was there a time limit. The head chef was talking to President Hua just now. He was very unwilling to lose to Gu Zheng with his onion noodles. However, President Hua told him that Nope's fried eggs were really better than his onion noodles. The two of them were whispering. President Hua didn't need to lie to him about this.
Even President Hua said so. Even if the head chef was not convinced, he had nothing to say.
Gu Zheng used a bottle of inferior mineral water to wash the pressure cooker used to cook the duck soup. Finally, he used a bottle of ordinary mineral water to rinse it.
He now had enough water and could be extravagant. However, when he used ordinary ingredients to wash the cooker, even Gu Zheng's mouth twitched. He scolded himself for being a wastrel.
This was an ordinary ingredient, an extremely rare one. Other than the ordinary ingredients for leveling up, he had only seen one type so far. It was the honey used in the honey sauce chicken at the beginning.
After washing the cooker, Gu Zheng first poured the mineral water into it to boil. On the other side, he took out a basin and poured in the inferior mineral water to heat it on another fire. Finally, he took out a white feathered chicken that weighed about one kilogram from the small box he carried. When the chicken was taken out, its bright eyes suddenly flashed.
Seeing that Gu Zheng actually brought a live chicken, many people were stunned. Even the judges were the same. Some people even had their mouths wide open.
