Boiling the soup was the first step of making chicken blood soup.
Gu Zheng didn't know the reaction outside. He was completely immersed in the cooking skills of chicken blood soup. Although the cooking skills were imprinted in his mind, it was his first time cooking after all. In addition, it was a competition, so he couldn't be careless.
When the soup was ready, Gu Zheng picked up the chicken blood in the ceramic bowl. He divided the immortal power in his palm and secretly operated it in the fresh chicken blood that was slowly coagulating.
The bright red chicken blood accelerated the coagulation speed, and it wasn't coagulated in a whole piece. The chicken blood was divided into neat small pieces, and each small piece was just a small mouthful. The size of the chicken blood was very particular. It could be just enough for people to eat it in one bite and maximize the freshness of the chicken blood.
At the door of the store, the security guard outside had stopped a few people.
"Why don't you let us in?"
A young man outside the door questioned loudly. At this time, there were four or five people at the door, all attracted by the fragrance. They were the closest and could easily find the source of the fragrance. It was the main store of the duck blood and vermicelli soup.
"Sorry, we have an event today and are not open!"
The security guard whispered. They also smelled the fragrance. Unfortunately, the fragrance didn't belong to their store. It was made by someone else.
"Why is it so fragrant when it's not open? What's the event inside? Can we go in and take a look?"
Another person asked. The fragrance was really too attractive, especially here. The fragrance was very strong. They could see people inside through the glass window, but they couldn't see Gu Zheng cooking. They didn't know where the fragrance came from, so they were very anxious.
"There's a gourmet competition inside. It's not open to the public. I'm really sorry!" The security guard explained again.
"Gourmet competition, no wonder!"
Some people suddenly understood, but some people were even more curious. Just as they were talking, a few more people came around. The fragrance here was the strongest. In addition, there were people, so it was easy to attract others.
The chicken blood in the ceramic bowl had all turned into cubes. Gu Zheng picked up the ceramic bowl and tilted it. The chicken blood cubes fell steadily into the boiling pot in Gu Zheng's other hand.
The chicken blood soup was the most important part. Gu Zheng only had two hands, so when he poured the chicken blood, he couldn't control the heat. He could only control the situation in the pot so that the soup and the heat could continue to perfectly blend.
After pouring in all the chicken blood, Gu Zheng's hand quickly fell back down and once again controlled the heat. Furthermore, he let out a deep breath. There had been no mishaps with the heat control just now. If there had been even the slightest mistake in the heat control, it could have affected the final taste of the chicken blood soup.
"Look, the fog is changing!"
A sharp-eyed judge called out. The mist on the small pot had always been there. At this moment, the mist had become slightly smaller, but it revealed a hazy image of a chicken. Elder Gao also became even more excited. Extreme Fragrance Transformation. This was indeed the legendary Extreme Fragrance Transformation.
"Elder Gao, you've made the right choice in coming here. It's worth it!"
Not far away, a judge in his forties said to Elder Gao. Like Elder Gao, he was also a chef. Furthermore, he had not retired yet and was still working as a chef.
"That's right. Fortunately, I came. Otherwise, how would I be able to see the legendary Extreme Fragrance Transformation?" Elder Gao deeply agreed and nodded his head continuously.
"I used to think that Extreme Fragrance Transformation was just a legend and did not exist at all. Only today did I understand that when one's culinary skills reach the pinnacle, such a situation would really happen. This is Extreme Fragrance Transformation. However, I don't know if other legends exist as well!"
The judge in the cabinet said with emotion. There were many legends in the world of chefs. There were hundreds of all kinds of small tricks. However, the ones that were truly recognized were the top ten legends. These legends were all related to the people who could be called the ancestors of the world of chefs. Extreme Fragrance Transformation was one of the top ten legends.
Previously, everyone, including Elder Gao, thought that these legends were fake and deliberately exaggerated. Only today did they understand that the legends were not fake. It was just that no one had done it for a long time. Without anyone doing it, there was no way to verify it. Naturally, they would think that it was fake.
"Right now, I have great expectations for this pot of soup. I have a feeling that this soup will bring me the biggest surprise!"
One of the judges between the two suddenly said. Elder Gao and the judge from the cupboard were both stunned for a moment before they laughed. That's right, the biggest surprise of the day wasn't seeing the Extreme Fragrance take form. The biggest surprise was that they were lucky enough to drink this soup. This was the biggest reward of the day.
The chicken blood was poured into the pot. Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup was already half done. Looking at the boiling chicken blood in the pot, the smile on Gu Zheng's face became more and more intense.
The chicken blood soup was very successful. Even Gu Zheng had great expectations for the chicken blood soup made from two ordinary ingredients. There was quite a lot of soup in the small steamer. This was the blood of an entire chicken. He had to save some for himself later. This was the chicken blood soup made by Gokusen's culinary skills. Moreover, it was his first time making it. If he did not try it, he would be letting himself down.
"Done!"
Elder Gao suddenly sat up straight. The thick fog above the small pot gradually dissipated. In the end, the thick fog did not form the shape of a chicken. This made Elder Gao and the others feel a little regretful. According to the legends, if the fog could transform into the shape of the ingredients, then it would be the true Extreme Fragrance Transformation. If the transformation was not complete, then it was not considered complete. It could only be considered close.
Even so, Elder Gao and the others were not dissatisfied. To be able to see half of the Extreme Fragrance Transformation was already a great fortune.
Du Yang had already helped Gu Zheng put the bowls in place. There were eleven small bowls, and Gu Zheng only poured half of each bowl. There were only two pieces of chicken blood in each bowl. When the soup was poured, the aroma was slightly reduced. However, there was still a faint dew-like aroma. This made everyone feel strange and even more expectant.
"Judges, please have a taste!"
Du Yang carried the chicken blood soup out. Gu Zheng made a gesture of invitation. Elder Gao was the first to pick up the bowl. He held it under his nose and sniffed it. Immediately, he revealed an intoxicated expression.
"The aroma of this chicken blood soup is very different from others. Generally speaking, a pure chicken blood soup would have a bit of a fishy smell. This bowl of soup does not have that. However, the freshness of the chicken blood has been preserved very well. The fishy smell is gone and the freshness is left. I don't know how you made the soup have such a smell, but I have to say that you are better than me. I can't make this kind of food!"
At this time, basically everyone knew what Gu Zheng was making. No wonder he said that it was similar to duck blood and vermicelli soup. Other than the blood used as the raw material and the lack of vermicelli, the rest of the chicken blood soup was indeed similar.
Elder Gao's evaluation also gave Gu Zheng a very high rating. He had not even tasted the soup. Just by smelling it, he admitted that he was inferior. This was much better than the usual praise.
"That's right. Just by smelling this soup, my appetite is great. It's a pity that the amount is too little!"
Another judge held a bowl and said. Everyone else laughed. The amount of chicken blood soup in the small bowls was indeed not much. However, this was a gourmet food competition, not a meal. It was impossible for them to let go of their stomachs and eat until they were full.
There were even more people behind them who were cursing silently. You judges can taste it, but you are still not satisfied. We have been watching and smelling it, but we can't eat anything. Isn't that even more depressing?
