Go: Is the portable old man the nine-time champion?

Chapter 329 Shrimp and Pig Heart
Yi Zheng ordered hot dry noodles with beef offal and several sesame seed cakes for lunch.

Before the competition, the Chinese Chess Academy will collect the players' menus for five days, and then the Chinese Chess Academy's small kitchen will prepare them directly. Sometimes, they will also invite some famous chefs to prepare them.

Many chefs sometimes come for free or even at bargain prices because the meals during the Chess Saint Tournament are also broadcast live.

As the most-watched Go competition in China, this is essentially a free advertising opportunity. If your presentation is both visually appealing and delicious, it will significantly boost your brand awareness.

Of course, if you don't do a good job of feeding the contestant and the contestant frowns or has any complaints, it could seriously damage your career.

Of course, even if the chefs don't want the chess academy, they still have to be paid according to the standard, but it's not much.

But that's normal. The executive chef at the Hilton's executive restaurant only makes 500 yuan, right? How much more do you people dare to ask for?!

Here's six hundred; come to the countryside and host a big feast.

Seeing the two contestants enjoying their food, many viewers of the live stream, including those waiting outside, felt hungry and started ordering takeout on their phones.

Outside the chess academy, a large crowd had gathered in the street square, where the calls of numerous food delivery workers could be heard one after another.

"Which Pretty Cure is it?! Your stinky tofu and snail rice noodles have arrived!"

"Old Altar Pickled Cabbage, Your Braised Beef Noodles!"

Many people eat their takeout while watching the live stream on the big screen after receiving it.

Often, the breaks between Go tournaments are turned into mukbang (eating broadcasts) and sometimes even get higher viewership than the actual matches.

Yi Zheng seemed completely unconcerned about the camera pointing at him and simply picked up his bowl and started eating.

This bowl of hot dry noodles can be said to be very authentic. You can clearly taste that it is alkaline noodles, not the kind of counterfeit hot dry noodles that you buy online and mix with hot dry noodle sauce.

Yi Zheng always eats very quickly, probably a habit he developed in the cafeteria. Because there are so many people, sometimes another group of people have to leave quickly after they finish eating.

Yi Zheng finished a bowl of hot dry noodles with beef offal and a sesame flatbread in just three to five minutes.

Seeing Yi Zheng eating so heartily, many comments in the live stream chat couldn't help but flood the screen.

[Salute to those who work hard but don't care about anything else!]

[It smells so good! Which brand is this?]

[With this kind of efficiency, no wonder they dominate the chess world]

[A Contemporary Time Management Master]

[Sesame seed cake: I was killed right after I came out of the oven?]

Yi Zheng's recipes were also carefully considered. Hot dry noodles are also high in calories, making them suitable for a war of attrition.

Many people don't like the taste. Yi Zheng also felt strange when he first ate it. But after eating it more often, he suddenly found it delicious. Especially when he ate a bowl of hot dry noodles and a basket of steamed buns in the morning, he sometimes didn't feel very hungry at noon.

Jiang Mobai, on the other side, was also very concerned about his image. He first showed the state of the bowl of noodles to the live broadcast camera before slowly eating the Anhui beef noodles, a specialty of Jizhou, that he had ordered.

And every step was very particular, even explaining to the camera how to eat the noodles.

People from Jizhou follow a specific procedure when eating beef noodles; that's what makes it authentic!
Watching Jiang Mobai eat and then introduce the food, Yi Zheng felt that the other person really had the potential to be a food blogger; he even had a slogan ready. "More food than you can handle, truth or falsehood, Anhui beef noodles, fifteen yuan per person!"

Or perhaps it's a matter of a glimpse of ink-white revealing black and white in an instant! (Beef offal hot dry noodles)

The meal was actually very short, lasting only half an hour. After both sides finished eating, they returned to the competition venue. The referee also took the initiative to open the seal and let the camera broadcast the whole process, taking out the note that Yi Zheng had written earlier.

The sealed lid was also recorded and broadcast live from multiple angles throughout the entire process, ensuring full supervision and eliminating any risk of cheating such as substitution.

Preventing cheating in Go is actually quite simple, even in the age of artificial intelligence. As long as you conduct thorough site checks, turn on the signal jammers, and accompany someone to the restroom, you can basically eliminate 99% of cheating attempts.

It could even be said that something an ordinary middle school can do, some national organizations just can't do.

You have time to talk about upholding professional ethics at the conference, but it would be better if you did more work yourself. It would be better to let people bring their phones into the venue and use them under the table.

The two quickly entered the game. Faced with Yi Zheng's tough attitude, Jiang Mobai had no choice but to abandon the black pieces that were surrounded in the corner and come to the side to seek stability.

Jiang Mobai was also very troubled. After struggling for a long time, he had only managed to break through by a dozen points, while Yi Zheng not only captured his own black stones but also gained the initiative.

After Jiang Mobai finished breaking through on the table, it became inevitable that Yi Zheng, who had gained the initiative, would then break through on the right side.

However, Yi Zheng wasn't in such a hurry to go in directly; that would be too rough. Only Jiang Mobai would do that!
Before going inside, you need to do some preparation! In particular, you should use some clever little props to make the inside more comfortable.

Yi Zheng first went to the lower point, and after exchanging some reinforcements, he then launched an attack.

At this point, even if Jiang Mobai wanted to forcefully cover and entangle the white pieces on both sides, he was already struggling to hold on because there were reinforcements all around him.

Because it might not be you attacking and entangled with your opponent, but your opponent surrounding you!

Although Jiang Mobai continued to try to catch up in the later stages, he even brought out his violent style to the fullest, fighting fiercely and tenaciously.

If it were any other player, the outcome might have been unpredictable, but unfortunately, the player sitting opposite him was Yi Zheng.

No matter what Jiang Mobai did, the situation remained roughly equal on the board.

In the end, Jiang Mobai could only make one last push, but unfortunately, he failed.

This game caused quite a few Japanese Go players who were watching to get a bit of high blood pressure, because Black's opening moves were immediately turned into a large, flat shape, and White later managed to create a long, thin stick-like shape.

too ugly!
At this point, the outcome on the chessboard was completely decided. Yi Zheng had lost all interest in continuing the game and directly urged Jiang Mobai to concede defeat.

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but sigh as he watched Yi Zheng urge him to admit defeat. Realizing that the situation was completely irreversible, Jiang Mobai had no choice but to concede defeat.

Seeing Jiang Mobai stop playing, the referee quickly stepped forward and announced loudly: "White wins the first game of the best-of-five final of the Chess Saint Tournament! Yi Zheng, 8-dan, wins!"

Seeing Jiang Mobai finally choose to admit defeat, Yi Zheng looked intently at the slightly disappointed Jiang Mobai and said, "I told you, Senior Brother, I would win."

The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly resonated throughout the silent game room and in front of every live stream screen.

Isn't the purpose of shrimp to prepare pig's heart?
If you're going to play psychological warfare, you have to be prepared to be hurt by it.
