Chapter 206 Eight Treasures Banquet
The other party is the successor of imitation meals. Needless to say, he must have used the Manchu and Han gala to play against Gu Xingzhi. You should know that the Manchu and Han gala can be regarded as the crystallization of wisdom in the diet of various ethnic groups for thousands of years in China. Even if it is because of many wildlife protection regulations, some dishes on it cannot appear, it is definitely difficult to shake its status.?? ??? w w?w?

Wu Ming was a little nervous and kept asking Gu Xingzhi if there was any way to fight against Jing Wenqing's Manchu and Han banquet.
Gu Xingzhi was also a little helpless: "I am not afraid of any delicacies used by the other party, but the Manchu and Han banquet is definitely not something that can be compared casually."
Wu Ming was a little discouraged: "Then, wouldn't we lose? The other party is the successor of the Manchu and Han banquet, and he once served as the chef of the state banquet group. Such a reputation can make us breathless. If things cannot win them, then we are nothing."
Gu Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "Actually, there is no way."
Wu Ming's eyes lit up: "Really, you can tell me what you need. Even if I sell the goods, I will prepare it for you."
Gu Xingzhi said: "Now in the Chinese food industry and in the public's minds, the Manchu and Han banquet is already the jewel in the crown of the food industry, and nothing can compare to it.
But in fact, there is a legendary banquet that can compete with the Manchu and Han banquets."
"Yeah?"
After hearing Gu Xingzhi say this, Wu Ming, Xiao Cai and Bai Bin all raised their ears. After all, the banquet that can compete with the Manchu and Han banquet is enough to be attractive just by listening to this title.
"Eight Treasure Banquet of Dong Pavilion." Gu Xingzhi said a name.
This name sounds very intimidating, but after all, Wu Ming, Xiao Cai and Bai Bin have never heard of it. The three of them stared at Gu Xingzhi with their eyes: "What is that Dong Pavilion Eight Treasures Banquet? Why have we never heard of it?"
"It is normal that you have never heard of it." Gu Xingzhi said: "The so-called Dong Pavilion is actually a place where high-ranking officials hold banquets, and the Eight Treasures Banquet is a legendary banquet.
This kind of banquet, the atmosphere is eight treasures, eight treasures and eight treasures, eight treasures, eight ingredients, eight cooking techniques, and eight cooking methods. The eight treasures correspond to eight dining utensils.”
Wu Ming was stunned when he heard this: "I don't know how to be harsh."
Gu Xingzhi smiled: "Actually, it's not very mysterious. It's not impossible for us to copy the Eight Treasures Banquet in the East Pavilion. Like the Manchu and Han banquet, since the Eight Treasures Banquet includes some precious wild animals, many dishes cannot be used to participate in the competition.
But fortunately, this banquet was just a small banquet, four cool, four hot and one dessert. We can still make such dishes by pieced together in the Eight Treasures Banquet.”
"Then what do you think are there?" Wu Ming asked.
"First, there are ingredients, the eight treasures, divided into three categories: mountains, seas, and grass. Each category corresponds to one ingredient. I can list the ingredients that can be found now and are not illegal. You can buy them." Gu Xingzhi said: "As for the eight cooking methods, I only learned a small part from an ancient cooking book, but I can still do this small banquet that can be used to deal with the four cool and four hot day games.
As for the eight kinds of tableware and utensils of Bazhen, it is not easy to do. Many of them are very harsh. I can give you drawings. If you can find the right person to help create it, the problem will not be big."
Wu Ming thought for a while: "I'll solve the ingredients of Shangbazhen and ask Xiao Cai to help me as an assistant. At that time, he should be better than me to pick things.
As for the eight techniques of winning the Bazhenzi, these days, you have to practice more and ensure that you don’t lose track during the competition.
As for the Bazhen, I'll give the drawings to Bai Bin. Bai Bin knows a lot of people in the Magic City. I think it's not a big problem to be able to find a master in the machining industry."
After saying that, the few people hit it off. Gu Xingzhi immediately wrote and painted the menu and utensils and handed it over to Wu Ming and Bai Bin, and then he went into the hotel kitchen to start the drill.
For this competition, the hotel kitchen specially divided two blocks and provided them to Jing Wenqing and Gu Xingzhi as a driving range. In the past few days, Wu Ming took Xiao Cai to all the vegetable markets, fish steaks, ports, hotels, etc. near the Magic City, wherever it is possible to buy these ingredients.
Bai Bin directly contacted a friend who was doing handicraft processing locally. This friend worked in a local art factory back then. It was no problem for a level 8 technician to create these tableware with his own craftsmanship.
Three days later, the game officially began. In fact, when the two sides reported the menu three days ago, the entire public opinion community was in full swing. The Manchu and Han banquet were all over the Eight Treasures Banquet. Such a scene could be called a showdown on the Forbidden City Top of the cooking world.
Since it takes a long time to complete these extremely exquisite dishes, whether it is the Manchu and Han banquet or the Eight Treasures Festival, the finals were directly extended to three days.
Wu Ming and Xiao Cai have traveled all over the Magic City these days, and finally they have barely found some ingredients that can meet Gu Xingzhi's standards. Bai Bin was also silly and forced his friends to agree to him to leave the door and thank the guests within three days, and specially created this set of eight-treasure tableware for Bai Bin.
Now that the ingredients and utensils have been done, the rest depends on Gu Xingzhi's craftsmanship.
During the three-day competition, Gu Xingzhi led Xiao Cai and the other two into the kitchen and had a head-on battle with Jing Wenqing's chef team. Every time the dishes were released, Wu Ming and Bai Bin raised their hearts to their throats.
Even Bai Bin sighed that he had always been cynical and had not felt such a tense and exciting atmosphere for a long time.
As time passed day by day, the competition between the two sides won and lost, Wu Ming also took the opportunity to taste the two banquets that were legendary in the domestic dietary industry.
In addition to giving himself a feast, Wu Ming was constantly shocked. In the past, Wu Ming always thought that what tastes good and bad is actually just everyone's taste. Those so-called food critics are simply a bunch of scammers who whine without hesitation and use them to gain attention.
What is Michelin and what state banquets are, to put it bluntly, it is just made more delicious than ordinary chefs. How high is it?
But this time, Wu Ming was completely shocked, and his whole concept was also subverted. What is a master and what is delicious? He used to be just a fool, and he was just guessing randomly. This is the real awesome chef!
It was about to come to the last day, and the records of both sides were basically considered a draw, but who would win or lose is still unknown. Moreover, different dishes have different score weights, so the method of converting the final game score may not be like now.
But no matter what, the most dish competition on the last day will definitely affect the results of this competition to a large extent.
That night, even the contestant, the calmer Gu Xingzhi became when he arrived at the competition, and he couldn't sleep anymore. He kept him on the rooftop almost all night.
In the middle of the night, Wu Ming walked to the next door, called Bai Bin, and asked Bai Bin how Gu Xingzhi was doing now. As a result, Bai Bin was stunned for a long time after answering the phone: "No, Wu Ming, Chef Gu is gone!"
Wu Ming was shocked and quickly took Xiao Cai and the others to search in the hotel. Finally, he saw Gu Xingzhi sitting with another person on the rooftop.
The two looked chatting and laughing, each holding a cigarette in his hand, and in addition, there seemed to be a bottle of wine next to it.
Wu Ming hurried over and was surprised to find that the person who accompanied Gu Xingzhi to chat and laugh on the rooftop was nothing but Gu Xingzhi's opponent, Jing Wenqing, who was known as the only successor of the contemporary Manchu and Han banquet.
Seeing Wu Ming and the others coming up, Jing Wenqing laughed: "Okay, I think I should leave too. Chef Gu, see you on the court tomorrow."
Wu Ming stared at Jing Wenqing leaving blankly, and after a long time, he said, "I'm going, you are really playing on the Forbidden City Top. Sitting on the roof and chatting, it's romantic enough, Chef Gu."
Gu Xingzhi knew that Wu Ming was joking and cursed: "Can you be a little serious? Okay, let's continue chatting with me for a while. Damn, this old guy Jing Wenqing tricked me into smoking half a pack of cigarettes. Has anyone brought cigarettes?"
Wu Ming took out half a pack of cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Gu Xingzhi: "Teacher Gu, you really opened my eyes. What did you talk about just now?"
Gu Xingzhi frowned and took a deep breath: "I only know now. Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. But as for what it is, I promised Jing Wenqing that I will rot in my stomach."
Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "Okay, you two heroes cherish the heroes, I will be a villain in vain. But let's make it clear first that we will still have to win tomorrow's game. By Chef Gu, are you sure?"
"Please give me Wu Ming." Gu Xingzhi said: "Can you find a Chinese chef from the world who dares to claim that he is confident of winning Jing Wenqing?"
Wu Ming then scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "What you are talking about is that a Chinese chef of Jing Wenqing's level, looking at the world, no one dares to say that he is sure to beat him, but..."
Wu Ming said, taking out a small bottle from his pocket: "This little seasoning is what I can help you in the end."
Gu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment; "Is this..."
"That's right, it's the medicine for treating your tongue, and it's also the ingredients added to your beef hall that day.' Wu Ming said: "I can't help after all the other things, but I'm sure that if you take this thing on the court, you will have a higher chance of winning."
Gu Xingzhi nodded: "Okay, thank you."
The next morning, Gu Xingzhi got up, washed up and went to the venue with everyone. Today is the last day of the finals of the Chef King Championship. The dishes of the Manchu Han banquet and the Eight Treasures Feast that have been released these days have also attracted the attention of these media. Someone came very early this morning and surrounded the competition site in order to get first-hand materials.
The Manchu and Han banquets are against the Bazhen Banquet, who can win? The person who sees the end is likely to witness a piece of history in the diet world, so it is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe this game as the focus of attention.
As the referee announced the start of the game, both sides began to prepare nervously. Wu Mingxin, Jing Wenqing's last dish was bamboo cage olive soup. Wu Ming sat in the distance, staring at Jing Wenqing's cooking table and staring at Jing Wenqing's cooking table. Suddenly, Wu Ming's eyes lit up.
Just on Jing Wenqing's platform, there was a small transparent bottle filled with some light green liquid.
What is that?
Bamboo Leaf Green? Foreign Wine? Or...
