"In other words, you and him really didn't find out?"

Catherine nodded repeatedly.

"So what are you going to do in the future?"

Catherine sighed, "I don't know what his attitude is. ”

"My daughter is so good, what attitude can he have? Besides, if he doesn't feel it, why would he look for you?"

"He's looking for my brother, and he has a good relationship with my brother. Catherine was about to cry.

"Does it make sense? Does he like it...... No, I'll warn you, brother. ”

"Mom, what do you want? It's disgusting. Catherine wrinkled her nose and almost flipped over the table.

"Your brother isn't bad-looking...... Okay, I was wrong. Since you haven't picked it out, let's do this for the time being?"

"My dad ......," Catherine hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut. Catherine's mother assured.

"No, I mean, you can mention it, consciously or unconsciously, to probe his tone - preferably without saying it. Catherine looked at her mother with pleading eyes.

“……”

Catherine's mother, not knowing what to say, only said in the end, "Lonely man and widow, you yourself should be safe." If you can't do it, find him another apartment?"

"No...... He's not going to mess around. In addition, tomorrow's apartments where the players will stay will be revealed. Catherine nodded repeatedly.

The two of them went out of the room, and Zheng Ke also made the pasta and put it on the table.

"Ahem...... There was a little misunderstanding just now, I hope you don't mind. ”

"Nope. After all, you are an elder, so you should ask a few questions. ”

Since any kind of title is offended, Zheng Ke simply stopped saying it.

Catherine's mother was obviously dissatisfied with Zheng Ke's answer, so she said to Zheng Ke: "My name is Natalie, you just call me Sister Natalie, right?"

"Mom-don't do that, okay?"

With such a mother, Catherine also wanted to cry without tears.

Zheng Ke also knew that he couldn't listen to Natalie's nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly said, "Two, the food is already cold, why don't I heat it up again?"

"No, just take a bite while it's cold. When Natalie sat down, she picked up the spoon and mixed the rice and beef, then scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth.

Originally, she thought that Zheng Ke's food was better than ordinary restaurants at most, but when she ate it, the rich flavor instantly occupied her taste buds, which surprised her. The only downside is that the temperature is a bit low, but that's not a problem.

"Very nice. Natalie said.

"What's good?" Zheng Ke asked suspiciously.

"Food—well, in general, it's pretty much in line with what I think of food, it's just a little cold, if you can heat it up. Natalie commented.

Isn't it that you don't let it get hot?

Although Zheng Ke was unspeakably depressed, he still didn't open his mouth to refute. Who knows if he says it, no matter how Natalie will react, it will be him who will be embarrassed in the end.

"Alright, I've decided. Natalie put the spoon down and looked at Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke looked at Natalie with some humility, not knowing what the hell she was going to do. But he didn't do anything bad to have a bad impact, did he?

"I decided, on the day The-Blue kicked off, to go and see your game live. Natalie said confidently.

"Mom, do you know what you're talking about?" Catherine tugged at Natalie.

"Of course I do. With that, Natalie leaned into Catherine's ear again and whispered, "I might pull your father over." ”

"Huh?"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head with difficulty.

Seeing Natalie away, Catherine entered the kitchen with a red face and looked at Zheng Ke who was scrubbing the pots and dishes.

"My mother must be annoying, isn't she?" said Catherine in a low voice.

"No, I think it's nice to feel like a relative. Zheng Ke said casually.

"Yes—I'm sorry, I ......," Catherine hesitated, but she could not say the words in her heart.

"Why do you apologize?" Zheng Ke put the washed soup pot and dinner plate into the cabinet and looked at Catherine reflexively.

"My mother asked a question that shouldn't have been asked...... Your parents ......" Catherine tilted her head.

"What did you say?" Zheng Ke sighed, if he said that he didn't want his parents, it must be fake, but since he came here, there was no other way than to try to survive, "It's been a long time since the incident, so I don't have any problems." ”

Zheng Ke smiled as much as he could, although he didn't know if his smile was a little fake.

"By the way, the competition should be the day after tomorrow, right?" Zheng Ke forked the topic.

"Well, the day after tomorrow at 10 a.m., we will gather at the venue to draw lots. Catherine said hurriedly.

"Ten o'clock the day after tomorrow......" Zheng Ke touched his nose, there was still a day to adjust.

The competition was approaching, so Zheng Ke didn't deliberately pursue cooking anymore, but made some homely meals to keep the feel, or continued to read the recipes given to him by Dojima Gin. The rest of the time is to store energy.

The 10-day competition, from 20 chefs from all over the world, selected the most suitable and outstanding contestant, this is the-blue, but also a feast of food.

Before the game began, many people had gradually gathered outside the arena, and a large screen was erected outside the stadium. Simple square tables were neatly placed outside the venue, and reporters from all over the country also interviewed passers-by from time to time.

This time, in order to take care of the players, The-Blue arranged the players' accommodation in the student apartment of Lanji.

Although it is called a student apartment, when Zheng Ke moved his luggage into the apartment, he knew that the decoration of this apartment was about equivalent to a star-rated hotel.

Originally, Catherine didn't have to live here, but the organizers said that it would be convenient to notify the contestants to gather, so Catherine also pulled her suitcase and came to this apartment, which was only 500 meters away from her residence.

Zheng Ke put the luggage away and took a general look at the room, there were all the commonly used equipment, especially the kitchen, and even more complex dishes. Outside the door of each bedroom, there is a small mailbox, and near the mailbox, there is an A4 piece of paper with a sentence written in English, French, Chinese, Japanese and other Chinese.

"During the race, at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., there will be waiters to pick up the letterhead. Note: The house number and the ingredients to be used are indicated on the letterhead. ”

I didn't expect Lanji School to be so thoughtful.

After packing all the luggage, Zheng Ke also went down to the hall on the first floor with Catherine.

Although this apartment is a student apartment, there are many restaurants on the first floor.

Since you can open a restaurant in the-blue's student apartment, it shows that the chef of this restaurant is quite good at cooking.

Sure enough, when Catherine saw the store manager, she greeted with a smile, "Hello, senior." ”

"Bring a friend?" a young man with gold-rimmed glasses looked at Zheng Ke with a smile on his face.

"Hmm. Catherine nodded repeatedly.

"You find a seat now, write down whatever you want to eat, and I'll do it myself." The young man laughed.

"Thank you, senior. Catherine waved her hand to the young man, and went to a window seat with Zheng Ke and sat down.
