The two of them came to the audition site in the provincial capital on the same day, the situation here was beyond Wu Ming's imagination, Wu Ming originally felt that the Chef King Competition should be a relatively niche competition, and there would not be too many people participating in it, but when Wu Ming came here, he found that there were so many fucking cooks in China.

There are so many in one provincial city alone.

And soon, another thing that surprised Wu Ming happened, when the three of them walked into the audition site, they walked side by side, Wu Ming, as the boss, naturally walked in front, Gu Xingzhi and Bai Bin were one on each side.

But soon, Wu Ming found that more and more people were greeting Gu Xingzhi, and their attitude was quite respectful, and when they got to the back, they didn't know who shouted.

"Three-Michelin star chef Gu Xingzhi is also here to participate!"

Hearing this, countless people flocked to see what this legendary three-star chef really looked like.

Originally, when he came, Gu Xingzhi was a little nervous, while Wu Ming had an indifferent attitude, but now the two of them just turned around.

Gu Xingzhi is a competition-type player, he forgets everything as soon as he gets on the court, focuses on the game, and is not nervous.

But when Wu Ming saw this scene, he couldn't help but get nervous: "My Chef Gu, what's the situation, how can these people see you like the big pervert who saw the flower girl, are you really so famous?"

Gu Xingzhi smiled: "It's good to say, back then, in the industry, it was a little famous." ”

Bai Bin said: "Boss, you are still Chef Gu's boss, you just haven't done your homework at first glance, let me tell you, Chef Gu's reputation in the industry is well-known."

The most important thing is not this Michelin chef's brand, you know, the Michelin brand is basically only awarded to Western chefs, and it is already rare for Chinese chefs to get one star.

As for the three-star chef, there is only one, and that is the one in front of you, Gu Xingzhi Gu Chef.

By the way, I have to remind you that Chef Gu is not only good at Chinese food, but also a must for Western food. ”

Hearing Bai Bin say this, Wu Ming even had a feeling of regretting why he didn't do his homework well, this Gu Xingzhi is also true, after staying in his own house for so long, he didn't help cook a meal for his father and mother, and when he goes back, he must let Wu Dashan and Zhou Lanxiang taste it too, his father and mother have worked hard all their lives, and they also want to taste the craftsmanship of a three-star Michelin chef.

The audition site, which was already crowded, became more crowded because of Gu Xingzhi's appearance, and in the end, the organizer had to intervene and send out two security guards to directly bring Gu Xingzhi, Wu Ming and Bai Bin close to the organizing committee's office.

Ordinary players can enter the office of the organizing committee, and they are already nervous, but when Gu Xingzhi came in, he was graceful, as if he was returning to his own home, and shook hands with the person in charge here very easily: "I'm really sorry to cause you trouble." ”

The person in charge was flattered: "Chef Gu, what are you talking about, it really annoys me, oops, we are not in place to prepare for this kind of competition, how can you participate in the audition in person, the organizing committee notified me yesterday and specially sent you a direct card, so you don't have to participate in the audition." ”

Gu Xingzhi glanced at Wu Ming, asking for Wu Ming's opinion, while Wu Ming glanced at Bai Bin and wanted Bai Bin to make an idea.

Bai Bin snorted: "This, I don't think Chef Gu should be special, after all, this time, our Chef Gu wants to use a normal heart to learn from each other with the world's chef elites, in this case, it will seem that our Chef Gu is putting on a shelf, and it will not be good to spread the impact." ”

After Bai Bin finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Ming, and Wu Ming understood.

In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of thing is put on a shelf or not, what Bai Bin values is Gu Xingzhi's exposure, if Gu Xingzhi only directly participates in the finals or finals, there is only so much exposure in total, it will not achieve the effect that Wu Ming asked before.

This trip does not seek to be a champion, but to be famous, not only to make Gu Xingzhi famous in front of the public, but also to make the Xiangwen Hall famous in front of the public, so at this time, the audition must also participate!

Hearing Bai Bin say this, the person in charge was still a little hesitant, in his mind, only Gu Xingzhi was a master, and he really didn't know what he was talking about, and he was still looking at Gu Xingzhi with his eyes blank.

Gu Xingzhi laughed: "I have no opinion, I also think that I should participate in the audition, so it's decided." ”

Hearing Gu Xingzhi say this, the person in charge had nothing to say, and nodded again and again: "Okay, we'll arrange it for you now, you already know the topic of today's audition." ”

Gu Xingzhi nodded: "Don't worry, I'm prepared." ”

"The materials for the audition are provided by our organizers, and this is your special card. The person in charge said, "For a chef of your level, of course, you have to use good things." ”

Wu Ming and Bai Bin paused for a moment, but Gu Xingzhi seemed to be very used to it: "Okay, I know, you don't have to worry about me, I'll just get the ingredients myself." ”

After speaking, the three of them walked out of the office, and said while walking Gu Xingzhi: "See, this kind of competition is still like this, in the preliminary competition, some related chefs will get some high-quality materials through the organizing committee."

In this way, although it seems fair, everyone's starting line is already different. ”

Wu Ming nodded: "I see." Alright, let's go to the point where we get the materials first, and then go to the lobby to participate in the competition. ”

The three of them came to the food pick-up point together, and were about to pick up the ingredients, when they heard that someone inside was making a fuss: "What kind of did you give me, didn't I pay the registration fee? I want white soy sauce, and you just give me a bottle of light soy sauce and want to send me away? You let me make cold dishes in a while!"

The three of them looked at each other, and saw that there were already many people watching the excitement in front of them, and I don't know who found out, Gu Xingzhi stood behind and hurriedly made way for Gu Xingzhi and the others.

Wu Ming and Bai Bin were also stained this time, and followed Gu Xingzhi all the way in, and saw a young man wearing a chef's uniform: "I'll ask again, where are my materials!"

"What do you shout, and then shout to disqualify you from the competition, the materials we provide this time are the same, you like to use it or not, and you blame others for not being able to do it yourself. Hurry up, don't mess around here. "The person who received the point spoke contemptuously.

Gu Xingzhi walked to the side: "Young man, let me see your materials." ”

The young man froze for a moment, recognized Gu Xingzhi at a glance, and his excited voice changed: "Chef Gu, it's you, I'm your fan! I didn't expect to see you here today, you must be a guest of the competition, by the way, you must be a judge, let you be a judge this time, I'm convinced."

But the organizers are so unjust, they actually use this material to fool me, you see, my dessert topic is high-gluten noodles, they just give me some rich and strong noodles and want to send me away.

There are also this, there are only two weeks left before the salad oil expires, and the taste will definitely be affected. ”

"Okay, don't tell Chef Gu that a good chef can make a good dish even if he takes the leftovers from the vegetable market, but if you can't do it, just get out of the way." The person in charge of the collection point was a little annoyed and began to scold the young man.

Gu Xingzhi frowned: "This person in charge, I want to ask, can you help this young man change some materials?"

The person in charge of the collection point paused for a moment, "Chef Gu, I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Gu Xingzhi snorted: "Okay, it's okay if you don't change it for him, take this and give him the materials on this card." ”

After speaking, Gu Xingzhi handed his special card to the other party, and the person in charge of the collection point was taken aback: "Chef Gu, what are you...... Okay, I know, don't worry, you keep your materials for yourself, and I'll change his materials with him immediately. ”

Gu Xingzhi waved his hand: "No, I want his materials, and my materials will be given to him." ”

The person in charge suddenly had an expression of disbelief, in fact, he was also in charge of procurement this time, and he knew very well what kind of goods he got back, if Gu Xingzhi used these materials to cook, I am afraid that it would be greatly affected.

But there was no way, Gu Xingzhi had already spoken, and the person in charge of the collection point had no choice but to hand the young man the corresponding high-quality ingredients on the special card, and Wu Ming and Bai Bin hurriedly took over the inferior ingredients in the young man's hands.

The young man looked excited: "Thank you, Chef Gu." ”

While speaking, the young man bowed directly to Gu Xingzhi, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Chef Gu, my name is Cai Mingjun, you can call me Xiao Cai, I have always admired you very much, can you take me as an apprentice......"

Gu Xingzhi frowned: "Okay young man, you have to rely on yourself to do things, I have already helped you, don't trouble me, hurry up and get busy with you." ”

Cai Mingjun suddenly realized that compared with Gu Xingzhi as a teacher, this competition is probably not so important, after all, he knows very well at his own level, even if he can pass the audition and the preliminary round, it will definitely not go too far.

But if you can worship Gu Xingzhi as a teacher, it will be different, it is equivalent to stepping directly into the Cotai Strip, Cai Mingjun thought about it, and immediately pulled Gu Xingzhi's sleeve: "Chef Gu, I won't participate in this competition, I'll be your assistant, okay." ”

Gu Xingzhi frowned: "When you can be a chef with such no self-esteem, you can be regarded as a talent, I warn you to leave quickly, don't force me." ”

Xiao Cai was stunned for a moment, and then let go timidly: "Okay, then I'll perform well in the game, and you will know that I am actually a manufacturable material." ”

Gu Xingzhi nodded and was confused, and then sighed: "How can young people nowadays be so tigers." ”

Wu Ming smiled slightly, pointing to the ingredients in his hand: "My big chef, have you made a big deal this time, can you make delicious food with these things?"

Gu Xingzhi smiled slightly: "Go first, I'll tell you what to do on the way." ”

The three of them walked towards the arena, although those people admired Gu Xingzhi, but they were all watching from a distance, standing two or three meters away from Gu Xingzhi to watch.

As Gu Xingzhi walked, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what I did before I became a hotel chef?"

Wu Mingleng paused: "Hotel chef? I heard that you used to be a college student, majoring in mechanics, and then you didn't know why you had a brain pump and went to study cooking?"

"I didn't learn my cooking skills, I practiced them. Gu Xingzhi said with a smile: "After graduating from school at that time, I was not satisfied with my work, so I came out to start my own business, but I lost money and lost all my eggs.

No way, I always have to eat, and then I thought of a way, set up a stall on the street, I bought the most inferior ingredients, and every day I thought about how to make these ingredients eat and fresh ingredients are a taste, don't you say, I practiced and practiced, and I really found a way, so when I saw these things today, I came to feel it, hehe. ”

Wu Ming was sweating profusely, he still thought that Gu Xingzhi was really a good teacher with high morality and good morality, both virtue and art, but now it seems that this guy is also black enough.

Soon, the three of them were stopped by a cordon, the guards put Gu Xingzhi in, and asked Wu Ming and Bai Bin to stand outside the line and wait, the two of them walked up to the stands and waved at Gu Xingzhi: "Chef Gu, come on!
