Chapter 214: Drawing lots
In the afternoon of the second day, the athletes registered, and the contestants first formed teams freely, but generally speaking, the contestants were already a fixed combination like Jiangbian and [***]. However, there are still some players who have not chosen a good partner and need to draw lots to determine their teammates.
The first two days are the first stage of the competition, and the results of the competition are calculated according to the group, and the individual results of the players are not counted separately. Contestants will be drawn by lottery to determine the number of matches in groups. On the first day, the players from Group A will compete in the morning, and the players from Group B will compete in the afternoon. On the second day, the players from Group B will compete in the morning, and the players from Group A will compete in the afternoon.
After the team was completed, the draw began to be grouped, and this time, [***] was drawn to Group B. Americans Davis, Zhang Yulin, and Fujita were drawn in Group A, while France's Vicente was drawn in Group B.
Some of the rules of the competition, Jiang Bian is a little unclear, but what he does know is that the top 14 players in the top 7 groups in the first stage can directly enter the finals, while the 8 to 17 group players will enter the second stage, and the goldfish repechage will determine the places to enter the finals.
"In other words, I don't have to worry about this mess of rules, I just need to be in the top 7." Ebebe laughed.
[***] nodded, "Well, in a nutshell, that's it. ”
"Then you don't have to worry about the rules?" Ebebe asked.
"Well, if you can play as well as Qiantang Station, you naturally don't have to worry about these rules." [***] said.
"But you have to note that even though you are divided into two groups, A and B, the final results are compared together. So whether it's the same group or not, they will actually have a direct confrontation. In the six sub-stations, there are not only Davis, Vincent, Zhang Yulin, and Fujita, who are a few masters on the road of Qiantang Station, but also many masters in other sub-stations. For example, people like the Korean Kim Jersey, the British Oliver and others are very famous masters. So don't be blindly optimistic just because the results of the sub-station are good. Seeing that Jiangbian seemed to be very optimistic, [***] hurriedly reminded.
Jiang Bian nodded, "Brother Wang, don't worry." I'll pay attention to these. Trust me, it won't go wrong. ”
"I believe in your strength very much, but competitive fishing still requires a certain amount of luck. Xiao Jiang, come on! I will do my best to assist you. [***] said.
Dinner was the first time that the finalists got together. Seating is arranged by the organizer.
When Egababe and [***] found their place, they found that Fujita and his partner Koji happened to be at the same table as him. And the riverside location is right next to Fujita.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you, and hopefully we can meet in the final finals." Fujita said.
Egabe smiled, "I also hope that when the time comes, I will be able to see you in the finals." "Eabe's meaning is obvious, he will definitely be able to enter the finals, but whether Fujita can enter the finals is not something he can predict.
Jiangbian is not a person who can speak polite words, and when he said this, China Tong Koji was immediately indignant.
"Your Excellency is really arrogant and rude. Hopefully, your fishing skills are also directly proportional to your hubris, otherwise the next tournament will only bring you into disrepute. Koji retorted.
"You don't have to worry about this, for me, fishing is just a life skill, and it is also used to make a living, but it doesn't need much fame. But you professional anglers should be careful, if you are defeated by a layman like me, I don't know if your reputation will be damaged. Kawabe said.
At the beginning of the dinner, the content was relatively simple, although there were drinks, the number was very limited, and the officials of the organizer came out to toast all the contestants with a glass of wine, expressing welcome, and then everyone was free to do so.
After all, everyone has to prepare for the next day's competition, breakfast is served at half past five the next morning, and then the opening ceremony is held at half past six to seven o'clock. In particular, the players in Group A started the game on time at 7 o'clock after the opening ceremony. The competition lasts for four hours and is a great test of endurance and willpower. But for anglers, it's a very simple thing. Some sea fishing enthusiasts spend several days at sea.
Fujita's dinner was not very pleasant, and Kawabe and [***] ignored them, and Fujita and Koji were very angry.
In contrast, the riverside eats very happily, and the sound of eating is like a passionate symphony. The riverside is still the same as when it was in the mid-mountain village, and the food is very cherished, and the food is naturally fragrant and fragrant, and the sound is naturally a little louder.
The image of the riverside naturally affected Fujita, who angrily threw his chopsticks on the table and muttered, "The quality of the Chinese is really low." ”
Jiang Bian did not refute, as if naturally saying to himself, "The most important thing in life is to respect food." He should probably count on the fact that tomorrow's breakfast won't be at the same table as me. ”
The people at the same table, including [***], thought that Jiangbian was just going away to be angry, and he did a little too much. Because they can't understand the respect for food by the riverside, and people who have not been hungry will never be able to understand the respect for food by the riverside.
Although the food here is far less delicious than the one made by the riverside, the riverside still eats with relish, and the taste is never a very important element for the riverside, and the portion is.
What Jiangbian didn't know was that his image was immediately affixed with the trademark of the Lonely Walker after this night.
Jiangbian ignored it, and after dinner, he returned to his residence with [***].
The organizing committee arranged a double room for the contestants, and Jiangbian was naturally arranged with [***].
Back in the room, the mobile phone kept ringing by the river.
Jiangbian opened his mobile phone and saw that there were already one or two dozen unread text messages in it.
The first text message came from Yan Yuan: "Brother, come on!" Brother is optimistic about you! You know, my brother has been very busy lately, very busy, and the major events in his life have reached the most critical time. Brother can't come to the scene to cheer you on. With your ability, it is not a problem to go to the United States, don't be soft on winning the championship, I have heard that the championship has a large prize! The gringos, which was cheap last year, must not let the fertilizer flow to the fields of outsiders this time. Well, he's got to get out, you know, he's busy. ”
Yan Yuan is not busy with fish restaurants. The modern enterprise management of the fish flavor restaurant has made Yan Yuan a hands-off shopkeeper, and the management of things is done by professional people, but it is better to do it.
Yan Yuan is really busy, the last time he took such a big advantage out of thin air, Liu Ruxuan has been thinking about the law to rectify Yan Yuan this time. Yan Yuan's life is painful and happy.
The next text message is from Xiao Yalin: "Brother, come on!" Know that there are many pairs of eyes watching you. I believe that with your strength, there will be no problem in getting the victory. Just like a cooking competition, you can always do wonders when it matters most. This time will be no different, and although there are many strong players, I think you will be the winner in the end. ”
Xiao Yalin was actually in a hotel near the competition venue at the moment, and she came here even earlier than Jiangbian. After a trip around Star City, I arrived at the competition venue.
Xiao Yalin felt that her heart was much more relaxed, and her thoughts about some things became more calm.
The next one, it was sent by Xiao Yalin: "By the way, when you finish the game, my sister will give you a surprise!" ”
Jiang Bian smiled, Xiao Yalin's surprise was easy to guess. Jiang Bai could guess with a slight movement of his brain.
The next one was sent by Liu Huijun, and there were two words in it, "Come on!" Jiangbian knew that at this time, Liu Huijun might be looking at his mobile phone like himself. What she didn't say in her heart, Jiangbian could think of it.
Although Liu Huijun's winery needs to be relocated, there are still many things about the winery. Liu Huijun is going to keep those old wines, because they take Liu Huijun too much time, and although they are expensive and cumbersome to transport, they can buy her a lot of time.
Over there in Yuwan Village. Since the effect of the pill by the river was very good, Tao Chengwan contacted the village primary school students who were hospitalized in the city to return to the village, and at the same time organized the villagers to clean up the factory of the Tao Manfa brothers. After the cleaning is completed, it will become Liu Huijun's new winery.
Tao Haisheng's fishing boat has already begun transporting items from Liu Huijun's winery.
Liu Huijun really wanted to go to Star City to cheer for the riverside, but unfortunately he couldn't get out of it at all.
The last one was sent by Li Yueji, "Jiangbian, you have now become the pride of Banshan Village." From the moment you won the culinary competition, you have been the best representative of Mid-Levels Village. It is a model of the modern new farmer. I wish you another great contest. ”
This girl fully embodies the political quality of being the child of a cadre in the Mid-Levels Village, but when the girl highly praised Jiangbian, she forgot to express something that she was eager to express in her heart. Or maybe the girl didn't feel like she needed to say anything at all.
For Li Yueji, Jiangbian now feels that she is no longer the goddess she was at the beginning, but a little sister next door. Eibe didn't seem to realize that this little sister was just a few months younger than him.
The girl is very busy now, and she has to be a leader and a student. The two roles are constantly changing, so she doesn't have time to think too much.
Mei Siling didn't send a message, but almost all the missed calls on the mobile phone by the river were sent by Mei Siling. With Mei Siling's fiery surname, it was a little unbelievable to ask her to calm down and send a text message.
The ringtone of the mobile phone and the vibration interacted, and Jiang Bin's hand shook, and he almost threw the mobile phone directly to the ground.
Jiangbian held his mobile phone and saw that it was Mei Siling who called.
"Stinky boy! What's the matter, why doesn't anyone answer the phone for half a day? Mei Siling asked.
"Well, it's not in a duffel bag, I didn't bring it with me." Jiangbian has never been used to putting a mobile phone in his pocket.
"Okay, I won't say more, you rest early and play better tomorrow." Mei Siling said.
"Well, I'm not going to play until tomorrow afternoon!" Ebebe laughed.
"Then you stinky boy, why don't you come out?" Mei Siling said.
The siblings were sticky for a long time before hanging up the phone.
I fell asleep in the haze by the river.
