Chapter 89: Gu Ze is off the list
Gu Ze practiced all day and night for this cooking competition, and wasted countless ingredients.
In order to make him feel at ease, Ye Yun'er gave the food he made to the clerks for free as an extra meal, so that the big guys were full.
Everyone thinks that with Gu Ze's current cooking skills, the chefs of all restaurants in the county are unattainable.
The day finally came, and the vast majority of the people who came to participate in the cooking competition were men, all of them in good spirits and eager to try.
The audience was crowded with people, full of seats, and the noise was extreme.
Since the vast majority of the participants in the competition are chefs from restaurants, restaurants or other small restaurants, behind the superficial personal competition, in fact, there is a competition of the strength of each family.
The one who gets the title of "God of Food" will naturally attract attention to the restaurants under his name, and the business will naturally go to the next level.
It is Ye Yun'er who, like other shopkeepers, attaches great importance to this event.
Before going on stage, Gu Ze was inevitably a little nervous, his hands kept trembling slightly, and he even struggled to hold a spoon. One face hung even lower, for fear that others would see his half blind eye.
When Ye Yun'er saw it, she walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Gu Ze, take it easy, I believe you can do it!" Besides, if you prove yourself with your cooking skills, then all your flaws will be covered up, and everyone will only see your shining points. β
Gu Ze understood what Ye Yun'er meant, tried his best to keep his composure, grabbed the spoon in his hand hard, and raised his head.
He made up his mind that he must fight for Ye Yun'er.
As in previous years, this year's cooking competition was divided into teams of 10 to select the best one, and finally, the final round.
Everyone has to make a judgment on a meat, a vegetarian and a soup, and a judge nominated by several members of the public.
Gu Ze stood out in the group and successfully won the top spot in the group.
That definitely gave him the confidence to just wait for the final.
Chef Zheng of the merchant restaurant and Chef Yang of the drunken fairy building have passed the test and appeared on the list of finalists.
Gu Ze saw that they were all old cooks, and they had decades of attainment in cooking, so he couldn't help but feel weak again.
In the afternoon, the moderator gave the theme of the final.
The theme is to highlight the word "beauty" in the dishes that participants make.
Everyone smacked the theme, and gradually smacked some flavors.
This is not only about the chef making it delicious, but also about the appearance and pleasing to the eye.
Gu Ze stood on the stage, young and very naΓ―ve, among these old and serious people.
No one thinks of him as just a fledgling, no match for other chefs who have been famous for many years.
But when Gu Ze picked up a pumpkin and easily carved it into a lifelike peacock, everyone was stunned!
The pieces of feathers, neatly aligned, staggered, as if they were real.
The peacock spreads its tail feathers and seems to be dancing, and its posture is particularly graceful and moving.
The kung fu of this knife is no worse than that of the imperial chef in the capital!
Even Ye Yun'er was very surprised, and couldn't help but ask Gu Zhen next to her, "I don't know yet, Gu Ze has such a ability?" β
Gu Zhen said with a smile: "He just stayed at home since he was a child, and he likes to fiddle with these gadgets when he has nothing to do. β
Ye Yun'er hadn't paid attention to this stubble yet, and nodded again and again in admiration, "This kid is really hidden." β
But in her heart, she thought that often autistic people would have amazing talents, and now she finally saw it with her own eyes.
Chef Zheng, a merchant, saw that Gu Ze carved much more beautifully than himself, and was so anxious that he cut off one of the ears of the radish rabbit he carved, so angry that he threw down the knife in his hand and simply stepped off the stage behind his back.
Seeing that even Chef Zheng admired himself and gave up the game halfway, the rest of the people also beat drums in their hearts, and the worse they became.
Gu Ze calmly continued to carve white flowers with winter melons, surrounding the peacock.
This picture of a peacock opening the screen among the flowers, coupled with the delicious and delicious pumpkin sesame balls, is simply "beautiful".
In the end, everyone sent the works to the referee's bench one after another, waiting for the results with trepidation.
Mo Qianqian, who was in the audience, looked at these coldly, and suddenly called the little maid and signaled her to do what she was told before.
The little maid nodded, and ran to the side to call an inconspicuous little servant.
The little guy walked over to the referee's bench and muttered a few words in the ear of the final adjudicator.
In the end, the adjudicator raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed the words.
He nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
Ye Yun'er held a heart, looked at the stage with great anticipation, and said to Gu Ze on the side with a smile: "Boy, you have made a big move this time, which has impressed everyone." Even if you don't have a name, it's time for your reputation as a skillful hand to spread. β
Gu Ze scratched his head embarrassedly, "This is a hobby since childhood, I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time." If I can help our restaurant win the first prize, I will be at ease, and I don't care if my own reputation is spread or not. β
Ye Yun'er saw that his heart was full of restaurants, and she was moved, and she trusted him more and more.
The final result is finally out and announced in public by the host.
The third place is not Gu Ze, and the second place is not ......
The corners of Ye Yun'er's mouth became more and more upturned, thinking that this name must be it!
She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and waited with great excitement.
"First place, Chef Yang of the Drunken Immortal Building!"
Not only Ye Yun'er and Gu Ze and others, but even everyone present was shocked.
Suddenly, the audience was silent, and the same question hovered in everyone's heart.
Gu Ze's carvings are clearly more beautiful than every cook, which can be seen at a glance by a discerning person.
After tasting his pumpkin sesame balls, the referee also nodded in praise, apparently unanimously agreeing.
Since this is the case, then it is just that he can't be the first place, why didn't he even enter the top three?
Could it be that the judging criteria of this year's cooking competition are unknown to everyone......
However, most of the people present came to see the excitement and didn't pay much attention to the professional aspect, so this idea was just a flash, and they just muttered a few words to others, and they didn't really take it to heart.
But Ye Yun'er didn't think so, she was poured a basin of cold water, and a touch of anger suddenly appeared on her face that was as cold as ice.
"It's not fair! I'll have to ask. β
With that, she suddenly got up and was about to walk towards the referee's bench.
Gu Ze hurriedly stopped her, "Sister Yun'er, don't go!" β
"Why?" Ye Yun'er turned her head and looked at him inexplicably, "You obviously did better than everyone present, why don't you have your ranking?" There's something greasy in this! β
