Seeing that Xiao Cai was reacting like this, Wu Ming was basically in a clear mind. Xiao Cai was indeed a brainless fan of Gu Xingzhi. No matter what Gu Xingzhi was in, he could make an explanation of "Chef Gu is so awesome."?

Seeing that it was almost done, Wu Ming said, "Okay, Xiao Cai, I think you are your own people and tell you this secret. You must not spread it."

Xiao Cai looked puzzled: "Wow, I feel that as a chef, a Michelin three-star chef, this problem is simply cooler than any disease.

Boss, think about it, it’s like an invisible person, but a sharpshooter who is a hundred years old. Beethoven cannot hear it, but it’s the most famous musician. Such a person is a real master and a master!

This is not embarrassing, why can’t you tell others?”

Wu Ming smiled bitterly. The little guy was still a bit too naive: "You are right. A master-level chef with no taste, this is indeed quite cool.

But think about it, although Beethoven is a very awesome musician, what did his life become when he loses his listening skills?

Poverty and destitute! Right? After all, ordinary people still account for the majority of them in this world. Once others know about this, how much negative impact will be on Chef Gu's career be. This is self-evident. You said it is right.

So, you can't expect those ordinary people to understand Chef Gu's awesomeness like you, so this matter is limited to our own people."

When Xiao Cai was so excited when he heard Wu Ming say that he was Chef Gu's own person: "Wu Ming, those ordinary people can't understand Chef Gu's awesomeness at all, so I can't tell you about this. Don't worry, I won't tell you about this even if it's rotten in my stomach."

"Oh, that's right." Wu Ming said: "Not only can't be told, but you have to help Chef Gu hide it. Think about it, after all, after all, there will definitely be some links that need to try dishes after the Chef King Competition. At this time, Chef Gu will inevitably show some flaws.

At this time, what should you do..."

Xiao Cai thought about it and his eyes lit up: "I understand. At that time, I will be Chef Gu's tongue. I will help Chef Gu test dishes. I can do whatever you need to use your tongue."

"No problem, your child is really smart." Wu Ming was overjoyed: "Then I'll ask you for this matter."

The next day, the rematch began. Unlike the previous auditions, which only required to make pasta, hot and cold dishes, and only needed to make a soup during the preliminary round, this time, the hotel directly opened a hundred tables, and the entire rematch lasted for three days. Each participating chef needed to complete a series of dishes such as four cool and four heats, soups, staple foods, pastries, and even after-meal results. Then, a well-known food commentator invited by the local area would comment one by one.

In addition, many special commentators were invited this time. These people were basically composed of local media, industry insiders, and some people who voluntarily registered in society. The size of the comment team members reached more than hundreds of people to vote, and the final twenty were selected from these nearly 100 chefs to enter the next semi-finals.

Fortunately, Wu Ming helped Gu Xingzhi choose Xiao Cai as his assistant. After all, Wu Ming and Bai Bin are both laymen, so it is OK to peel potato skins, wash vegetables, boil water and other things. Once it involves some technical content, it is really not possible to lack Xiao Cai.

After Gu Xingzhi got the question, he designed a complete set of participating dishes for himself as soon as possible on the spot, and then went to the cold storage in the hotel kitchen to select the required materials.

Their competition time was scheduled at noon the next day. Everyone seized all the time to process the ingredients. It took nearly three hours to complete the banquet at this table.

Three days later, the voting results were announced on the hotel's lobby water sign. Wu Ming was notified early that Gu Xingzhi's banquet was elected as one of the best three-table banquets with a high vote.

Wu Ming was happy for a long time and asked Bai Bin to contact 6 Feier's team that day to make this matter popular on the Internet.

The attention of this matter in the online world has soared. Even the organizers of this competition find it strange that they are just hoping to attract attention and then advertise their own cooking oil sponsors.

They actually paid for some online promoters, but what they didn't expect was that the attention of the competition was far beyond their expectations, and insiders could see at a glance that someone was taking advantage of this opportunity to constantly push Gu Xingzhi to the outside world.

If someone else is in this position, the organizer may be very unhappy. After all, this is obviously using the other party's resources to speculate on others. However, after all, Gu Xingzhi's reputation in the industry is not mentioned. A three-star Michelin chef is known to be one of three people in the world who are connected with Chinese and Western food. Such people will be of certain help to the attention of the competition. It is hard to say at will who has taken advantage of whom's east wind.

If we really have an objective evaluation, at most we are leveraging each other to each other, so the organizer has maintained a tacit attitude towards this situation.

In the end, there were 20 chefs who entered the semi-finals. At this point, all those who could be left behind were industry leaders, the most shallowest one, and the second chef in a five-star hotel.

Of course, there are also people who are truly famous. Gu Xingzhi, a three-star Michelin chef, is considered a chef. In addition, there is also a chef named Jing Wenqing, who is said to be quite famous.

That night, after Wu Ming got the list of chefs entering the semi-finals, he held a small meeting with Xiao Cai Baibin and Gu Xingzhi, wanting to analyze the situation of these opponents he would encounter later.

Gu Xingzhi took a look at the list and recognized Jing Wenqing at first glance.

Wu Ming frowned and asked, "Jing Wenqing? Is this person awesome? Chef Gu, I remember you said that this kind of chef king competition is very strong in commercial nature and showmanship. Generally speaking, few real masters come to participate?"

Gu Xingzhi smiled bitterly: "I'm talking about the general situation. Now the situation is obviously not ordinary. I don't know Jing Wenqing, but this person's fame is definitely not inferior to me. It can even be said to be taller than me, and it is much higher than me.

I just disappeared for a while because of some private matters. Now the media uses this point to hype me up and attract the public's attention.

But the story behind this Jing Wenqing is much more complicated than that of me. It is said that this person is a descendant of the imperial chef of the former Qing Dynasty. He is the only remaining person in the world who is familiar with the practice of Manchu and Han banquets."

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Manhan and Han banquet, didn't this kind of thing be lost?"

Gu Xingzhi shook his head and said, "Who told you that the Manchu and Han ceremonies were lost? You should know that in the late Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Han ceremonies were still being made in the palace.

It's only just a hundred years now. Such an awesome craft has been paid attention to within a hundred years, so how could it be lost?

When the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Feng Yuxiang expelled the deposed emperor Puyi from the Forbidden City, and the imperial chefs were also lost to the people. Now the most recognized in the industry is the imitation restaurant in the capital.

Later, the imitation of the dishes was divided into the Zhao school and the Niu school. Jing Wenqing was known as the master of the two schools. Later, as the leader of the state banquet group at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, he was responsible for handling the state banquet.

He took charge of the century-old feast of the Olympics a few years ago, but after that, he suddenly retired and opened a restaurant among the people. However, less than two months after the restaurant opened, it closed mysteriously. Do you think the story and background of others are much more bizarre than me?”

Wu Ming immediately took a deep breath: "Oh my god, this person is just a novel character, but I think this person should have been like you before, and he is also a well-known person in the upper niche circle, but in the real public eye, he is relatively low-key."

"That's right, after all, chefs have never been a star-stunning profession." Gu Xingzhi said.

"Okay, no matter what, we are ready for the subsequent game, and there will definitely be a way to beat Jing Wenqing's." Wu Ming said.

In the subsequent semi-finals, there was no open question setting method. The organizer provided everyone with certain materials and required that the corresponding dishes be made within a limited time. This competition format is somewhat like the audition, but the difficulty and degree of attention are much higher than that of audition. This is tacitly understood.

Fortunately, I found Xiao Cai. Although Gu Xingzhi didn't say it directly these days, he has been training Xiao Cai's taste. He found that although Xiao Cai is a guy who cooks, his technique is immature and often looks clumsy, he has a good tongue in nature.

This guy's taste can be described as tricky. Every time Gu Xingzhi tried to make a dish and handed it to Xiao Cai, it basically took less than five minutes. Xiao Cai could guess the seasonings, amounts, and even the order of adding seasonings.

With this, Wu Ming felt that he had not misunderstood. Not only that, Xiao Cai's performance in the semi-finals can also be said to be remarkable.

Such a competition is of course different from auditions. Gu Xingzhi needs to try to adjust the questions given by the organizer every step. At this time, Xiao Cai's tongue comes in great use. After Xiao Cai uses his tongue to taste it, he tells Gu Xingzhi the problem. As long as the two of them cooperate well, they can always make a satisfactory dish.

The final result was that Gu Xingzhi and Jing Wenqing advanced to the finals at the same time, while the other chefs inevitably turned into green leaves that foil flowers and were finally eliminated in the semi-finals.

The finals became the final battle between Gu Xingzhi and Jing Wenqing, two legendary chefs, to the top of the Forbidden City.

One is Gu Xingzhi, who has won three Michelin star rating for Chinese food and is known as a master of Chinese and Western cuisine. The other is Jing Wenqing, a legendary chef who was once the leader of the State Banquet Group of the State Guesthouse, who has served countless state banquets.

The showdown between these two people has become the biggest topic of conversation for the people of the Demon City at this stage. After meeting, the first question is no longer you, have you eaten? But what? Have you watched the game recently? Who do you think Jing Wenqing or Gu Xingzhi can win?

The finals are scheduled for three days after the semi-finals. This time, the organizers asked both parties to present a banquet menu. Considering that chefs of this level have extremely strict requirements on the materials, they gave the two of them the right to purchase ingredients by themselves.
