"Can't you let me have a taste of your chicken blood soup?"
The head chef suddenly stood up from his chair, walked to Gu Zheng's side, and asked in a low voice. He didn't taste Gu Zheng's omelette before, so he knew he had lost. However, he didn't accept his loss. Now that he saw Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup and the judges' high comments, even he didn't know why he came over and made such a request.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng agreed without hesitation. There was still chicken blood soup in the pot, and there was still half a pot left. It was reserved for himself, Du Yang, and the others. Just now, he said he would treat his companions today. Since he had said so, he couldn't forget them. Besides, they had been helping him these two days, especially Du Yang, who had asked for leave to accompany him as a fan. It was completely reasonable to treat them to a bowl of chicken blood soup.
The head chef took a small bowl for himself. Gu Zheng poured out a portion of chicken blood soup that was similar to the judges'. The head chef didn't say anything. He took the bowl and left by himself. He didn't use a spoon and directly drank a mouthful of the clear soup.
The warm clear soup, with a hint of sweetness, slid from the tip of the tongue to the throat. His entire throat was instantly filled with this kind of fragrance. The head chef, who originally wanted to stop and taste it carefully, unnaturally drank another mouthful. This time, he even bit into a piece of chicken blood.
As the chicken blood entered his mouth, a trembling fresh beauty immediately filled his body. The chicken blood didn't immediately melt in his mouth. Instead, as his mouth gently pressed down, drops of juice seemed to be squeezed out of the chicken blood, quickly sending a wave of freshness to his whole body.
Fresh, fragrant, and beautiful. The fishy smell in the chicken blood was indeed completely removed. This was not a suppression, but a real removal. The freshness of the chicken blood was also perfectly preserved. Without the fishy smell of the chicken blood, the freshness of the chicken blood was incomparable.
With just a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of chicken blood, the head chef understood that he had lost. He really lost, and there was no injustice in losing. He lost wholeheartedly. Not to mention now, he couldn't make this kind of soup even in the future. This wasn't just a little difference, this was a gap between heaven and earth.
The funny thing was that he still had the confidence to win at that time. He bragged a lot and even attacked Gu Zheng many times on the Internet. Now, just thinking about it made him blush.
"No, you win. I apologize for what I said before!"
The head chef finished the soup in his bowl and bowed deeply to Gu Zheng. Then, he left. He didn't return to his seat. Instead, he went to the back of the hall. No one knew where he went.
"I don't know how to describe this chicken blood soup anymore. No words can express my feelings. Let President Hua say it!"
One of the judges slowly drank the soup in his bowl and said emotionally. Director Wu and Director Hua were also drinking the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng. There was only a little left in their bowls. Most of the judges were the same.
This judge's words made everyone's attention focus on CEO Hua. A few judges quickly finished the soup in their bowls and even tipped the bottom of their bowls before looking at CEO Hua.
The third round wasn't a tiebreaker. As long as CEO Hua could say one bad thing about Gu Zheng's food and three judges agreed, then it would be considered as Gu Zheng's loss. Other people's comments were useless. Everything depended on CEO Hua.
CEO Hua also finished his soup. Not a single drop was left. He didn't want to do this, but the taste of the soup was really unbearable. If he was given another bowl, he could finish it. No, he could finish it even if he was given ten bowls.
He put down the bowl and hesitated for a while. Then, CEO Hua gave a thumbs up and said loudly, "Uncompetitive cooking. I'm convinced!"
CEO Hua wasn't stupid. A stupid person wouldn't be able to do this kind of business. He just wanted to save face and was ambitious. Before this bowl of soup was finished, he had a premonition that he was going to lose this time. He didn't know what happened to the extremely fragrant transformation, but the judges knew and said it out loud.
It was something that existed in legends. It was something that could only happen when one's cooking skills reached the pinnacle. How could he find fault with it? He could make up a fault that didn't exist, but the judges wouldn't agree with it. Without three judges' approval, he would only lose more face.
After drinking the soup, he understood that he lost again. Gu Zheng's cooking skills were completely out of his expectations.
At the same time, he felt some regret in his heart. Gu Zheng made chicken blood soup this time. Chicken blood soup and their duck blood and vermicelli soup had a lot in common. If he knew that Gu Zheng had such cooking skills, he wouldn't have asked the head chef to issue a challenge. He would have directly gone to the door to poach Gu Zheng. If he could poach Gu Zheng, he would even be willing to let him be the head chef.
With Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup cooking skills, it would be very easy to improve the duck blood and vermicelli soup. The restaurant's business could even go up a level.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world. Not only did they take the initiative to issue the challenge, but he also deliberately suppressed Gu Zheng at the scene of the competition. In addition, he knew about Gu Zheng's background. The relationship between the two was probably difficult to be eased.
Although he regretted it, President Hua didn't give up. He still had to fight for what he should fight for. Seeing some people's surprised eyes around him, he smiled slightly, stood up, and clapped his hands.
"Don't fight. You deserve to be the son of Master Gu Ming. The student has surpassed the master. We are convinced that we lost to the cooking skills of a Michelin three-star chef. We are sincerely convinced!"
Gu Ming was the name of Gu Zheng's father. Before President Hua finished his words, Gu Zheng's face changed.
"What? Don't fight is the son of Gu Ming?"
"No wonder. No wonder he has such good cooking skills!"
"It turns out that he is the son of Gu Ming!"
Some judges showed a shocked look. Gu Ming himself was famous in Shen City. These judges were all people in the gourmet circle. Many of them knew Gu Ming's identity. Gu Ming was also a pride of the gourmet circle in Shen City.
It was not so easy to be a Michelin three-star chef. There were more than 2,000 Michelin restaurants in the world, but only a little more than 100 could reach the three-star standard. Only the chefs of these restaurants could be real Michelin three-star chefs.
In other words, there were only a little more than 100 three-star chefs in the world.
This statement was not strict. Some famous chefs' skills were not inferior to those three-star chefs. In addition, there were some three-star chefs who had resigned. They also had the strength of a three-star chef. To be honest, the number of such famous chefs in the world was much higher than that. There might be hundreds of them.
But even so, they were still very amazing. Moreover, Gu Ming was now an authentic three-star chef. He had won many awards in France. Don't fight was actually his son. No wonder he had such good cooking skills. President Hua and the others really deserved to lose.
There was a discussion on the scene. Most of the people who came here today were people in the gourmet circle. Even if they were not, they would inquire the people around them. Soon, everyone understood what was going on. Even Mumu knew that Gu Zheng's father was not an ordinary chef, but a three-star chef, a world-famous chef from Shen City.
Mumu's small hands clenched together again. Damn Don't fight. He said that his father was an ordinary chef before and lied to her again. After this competition, she must teach him a lesson.
