Chapter 13: The Contest
The banquet hall was brightly lit, and each delicate crystal stone on the crystal lamp reflected the white light of dazzling eyes.
There is a long dining table, the table is covered with several layers of tablecloths, the spotless tablecloth has elegant retro patterns, the candlesticks, bouquets, wines, dishes, etc. on the table are placed in a patchwork, and everyone steps on a thick carpet embroidered with gorgeous patterns. Uniformed and well-dressed waiters are weaving through the crowd at an appropriate pace, serving people drinks and drinks.
Beautiful ladies and handsome men gathered in one place to talk and laugh, and tonight's protagonists, the young representatives of various countries, also dressed up. People from different countries come together to celebrate tonight.
Jiang Xuehan and Chang Xiaozhou arrived relatively late, and the Huaguo delegation seemed to be inferior to them, Li Mei's sharp eyes saw the two people who had just come in at a glance, so she waved to Jiang Xuehan and Chang Xiaozhou and motioned for them to come to the army.
Chang Xiaozhou saw that everyone had arrived and happily trotted over with Jiang Xuehan, and everyone felt hungry after chatting for a while, so they scattered to forage for food, and for a while everyone was tasting the Japanese specialties at the dinner.
If you want to say that something that can represent Japanese food culture should be the first thing to recommend sushi, sushi is the most unique food in Japan, just like the steamed buns and fritters in China, they are ordinary but not ordinary, common but indispensable.
Looking at the dazzling array of sushi on the table, there are seafood sushi such as shrimp sushi, sashimi sushi, crab roe sushi, vegetable sushi, and sushi with cute decorations, Jiang Xuehan felt that their eyes were not enough. Everyone sandwiched some and tasted it carefully.
Many black and red clay cups with sake are neatly placed on the table, and waiters fill new ones from time to time. Wang Chen, Tong Minyou and several boys also drank a little Japanese sake, but fortunately, the alcohol content of Japanese sake is not high. Japanese sake is as famous as Japanese sushi, and is loved by people from all over the world for its delicate flavor and the characteristics that can be used to accompany a variety of dishes.
There is a lot of Japanese food, and at the same time, dishes from other countries are also put on the table, which is also to take care of foreign students who are not used to Japanese food. Jiang Xuehan saw that the Chinese classic Sichuan cuisine palace fried chicken and mapo tofu also appeared on the table, and walked over happily, as the saying goes, there are four happy events in life, including meeting old acquaintances in other places, for Jiang Xuehan, meeting old dishes in other places is also quite good.
Chang Xiaozhou and a few people also saw it, and walked over with Jiang Xuehan. Chang Xiaozhou thought to himself that he had only been in Japan for a few days, and he felt like he was in tears when he saw the food of the motherland.
At this time, a Japanese student stood on the high platform of the cafeteria, raised his hand and gently patted the microphone to confirm that the microphone was useful, and opened his mouth in Japanese English: "Good evening, everyone, I am sorry to disturb you, I am on behalf of our Japanese students to ask the foreign student representatives to give a challenge, I know this is too rude, but you are also representing your own country to participate in the exchange, I guess I don't mind our Japanese country competing with you." ”
In the face of the stunned expressions of the audience, the Japanese students continued: "That's the case, it's very boring for no one to perform at the dinner, so our Japanese students decided to perform a program first, and the students from all countries can face the competition, and everyone will choose the best program, and everyone will admit that the winning country has the highest cultural level, what do you think? ”
Not long after, Jiang Xuehan heard piano music spread in the restaurant, and saw a Japanese boy playing the piano with his eyes closed and an intoxicated expression.
Showing off his skills and having no feelings, when the man finished the song, Jiang Xuehan gave a pertinent evaluation of eight words.
The French students were the first to meet the challenge, sending a girl with curly blond hair up, and the girl didn't say much, but sat down in front of the piano, sitting upright, and put her hands on the keys.
The feelings are acceptable, the skills are insufficient, and Lin Muxi's voice sounded from behind Jiang Xuehan. Jiang Xuehan hooked the corners of her mouth and did not speak.
Today is a competition with the piano, and the Korean students also sent a girl to face the battle, that girl may be too strong to win, and she chose a very complicated tune, but it didn't work when she played it, and everyone also heard the small flaws, needless to say, the Korean side was not good at tactics.
Seeing that other countries are performing their own performances, Huaguo's side is also starting to be anxious, so he can't abstain, but everyone discussed and sold Jiang Xuehan, who called Jiang Xuehan's young strength so strong!
Jiang Xuehan looked at the group of compatriots surrounding him, and finally disarmed and surrendered, "Okay, I can't go!" Everyone saw that Jiang Xuehan agreed and dispersed, and each took a plate to eat, leaving Jiang Xuehan alone in the wind.
Jiang Xuehan put the plate in his hand on the table in the corner, and walked straight to the high platform to face the battle on behalf of Huaguo. Zheng Xin, Liu Shuang and Zhao Meilan also held their breath, and the expectant eyes of the three of them did not move away from Jiang Xuehan until Jiang Xuehan finished playing.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Xuehan took a deep breath, and the movie scene of "Titanic" came to mind, thinking of the soundtrack "My Heart is Eternal", as a classic track, "My Heart is Eternal" has not yet been created, Jiang Xuehan decided to use it sparingly, hoping that the original creator and the original singer would not blame, she also had to do it.
The love story of Jack and Ruth remains in people's hearts with the sinking Titanic, and the phrase "YouJump, IJump" is a classic among the classics, which has moved many people. At this time, Jiang Xuehan was already on the Titanic, the Titanic was riding the wind and waves, moving forward in the sea, and Jack and Ruth met and knew each other......
A melodious prelude made the hall quiet for a moment, and Jiang Xuehan's fingertips flew and began to sing, "Everynightinmydreams; Iseeyou,Ifeelyou; ThatishowIknowyougoon; Faracrossthedistance; Andspacesbetweenus; Youhavecometoshowyougoon; Nearfar; Whereveryouare……”
At the end of the song, everyone's praise was endless. There is no doubt that China won, even if Japan is unwilling to admit it, but everyone's ears and eyes are not decorations, and they have their own plans for which is higher and which is lower. Zheng Xin and the two deputy team leaders were very happy, and they were a little high-profile at the next dinner.
At night, Chang Xiaozhou lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, and after a while, she got out of bed and climbed into Jiang Xuehan's bed, got into Jiang Xuehan's air conditioner quilt, and hugged Jiang Xuehan tightly.
Jiang Xuehan didn't drive Chang Xiaozhou down, but said, "Don't go to sleep yet, if you can't get up tomorrow morning, I'll throw you on the street." ”
"Just sleep, good night, cold. ”
"Ah. Jiang Xuehan closed his eyes and thought of the rickety back.
