Chapter 120 (2/2)
The competition in this competition is also known by the chef industry as the biggest over the years. In the past, there were a lot of applicants for some food competitions, but at most, there were only one or two thousand people. This is the competition with more than five thousand people.
The reason why so many people signed up, in addition to the national fame of the winner of the food competition, there is also the high reward.
In this food competition, the first prize alone is one million. At the same time, there is a three-year right to use a street shop in the prosperous area of the West Lake. The annual rent of such a shop is hundreds of thousands, and in three years, it is millions.
In some influential food competitions in the past, the bonus was 100000. The highest one was in Guangzhou, and the bonus was only 300000, which can't be compared with this time.
The first place is like this. The second place is not bad. There is a bonus of 500000. There is no shop. The third place has a bonus of 300000. The latter several also have a reward of 100000. Many people are attracted by the heavy reward. Many famous chefs come to the competition. In addition to the bonus, they want to win the reputation this time.
Although it is hosted by Hangzhou, it is already a competition of national concern. Whoever wins the prize is famous all over the country. Such fame is not a small wealth.
Famous and beneficial, and finally attracted so many people to participate. Some people just came to learn and accumulate competition experience. They know they can't win awards, but it's also a learning process to compete with so many chefs. It's also a kind of pride to say it in the future.
Comprehensive aspects, the final number of applicants.
Gu Zheng sits on the morning high-speed rail. He goes to the organizer to report in the afternoon. The preliminary competition will begin tomorrow. All contestants should report and receive the competition cards, and then start to participate in the preliminary competition.
There are five preliminary contests, each of which will eliminate a large number of people. Some qualified famous chefs have been submitted to the fourth preliminary contest. Most of these are famous chefs who have won awards for many times. Without such qualifications, they cannot be submitted.
Even if they walk, they will participate in the next two preliminaries.
Gu Zheng has only had one experience of food competition. He is still a private individual competition. He certainly has no such qualification. He can only go to the preliminary competition one by one.
”So many people, I'm No. 9, No. 73!”
When he got the competition card, Gu Zheng kept shaking his head. There were so many people here. He lined up for an hour to get the competition card. More than 5000 people participated, but more than 5000 people came. Many chefs have their assistants. Even some little chefs will ask friends for help. Instead, a person like Gu Zheng came.
Gu Zheng is not alone. Mu Mu is with him, but Mu Mu doesn't come to help. Mu Mu has his own work.
The final of the food competition was held in the West Lake. The first preliminary competition was held in 20 places in Hangzhou. So many people participated in the competition. One place is certainly not enough. Even if there are 20 places, there are two or three hundred people in each place to participate in the competition. The amount of competition on the first day is very huge and the schedule is very urgent.
”It's all done. I'll invite you to dinner tonight. I know there's a noodle restaurant in Hangzhou. I used to eat every time I came. I'll invite you this time!”
Mu Mu has been accompanying Gu Zheng. She has nothing to do today and doesn't want to go back to the hotel. She follows Gu Zheng and says something with a smile after Gu Zheng is busy.
The noodle shop she said tastes really good. In her heart, there are few delicious foods that can be compared with that noodle shop. The New Year cake introduced by Gu Zheng is one, and the fried egg of Gu Zheng is also one. However, the fried egg of Gu Zheng is better than that of the noodle shop, otherwise she won't come with Gu Zheng this time. In fact, the purpose is to eat.
