Chapter 31: The Eve of Parting
The Dumpling Contest is an influential event in the capital and is held once a year.
The contest is judged by the public, and the winner is determined by the number of empty plates, that is, the contestant who eats the most dumpling plates in the audience wins.
"That's it?" Wei Ran was a little surprised.
Ling Lin put away the black pen, handed over the registration form to the staff, and replied back: "Yes, the dumpling competition is a non-governmental organization, so naturally there are no restrictions on participation." ”
"Wouldn't there be a lot of people participating?" Wei Ran touched his nose.
"At that time, there will be a preliminary review by the judges, and only those who pass the preliminary review will be able to enter the official competition." Ling Lin recalled.
"That's pretty much it." Wei Ran nodded.
"Why, are you still worried about too many people competing with you?" Ling Lin seemed to be smiling.
"After all, I don't know the level of the contestants, so I don't dare to say 100% that I can win." Wei Ran is very confident in his cooking skills, but he also knows that Huaxia is so big, there must be people with better cooking skills than him.
"It's a good thing to be modest, so I'll tell you about the winners of the previous competitions, right?" Ling Lin said with a smile, she didn't want to blindly believe in Wei Ran, knowing that the other side could not be defeated.
"Good!" Wei Ran readily agreed.
"The winner of last year's Dumpling Contest was the Dumpling King Hotel, which set a new record with 645 empty plates, and no one can shake the championship status." Ling Lin still feels shocked when she thinks about it now, on the day of the game, she specially closed for a day to watch the scene.
"645 plates?" Wei Ran muttered, are there so many people at the scene?
"At that time, except for the dumpling king, almost no one tasted the other people's entries, and it was an absolutely overwhelming victory!" Ling Lin felt that the more she talked, the more she lost confidence in Wei Ran.
"What a tricky opponent! Where are they located? I want to find out what the enemy is doing. Wei Ran pouted.
"Spy on the enemy? Puff" Ling Lin smiled and slapped Wei Ran and said, "I don't think you can find out, what Dumpling King usually provides to customers is just dumplings with popular tastes." ”
"Well, it's not a bother to go and see it anyway." Wei Ran thought for a while.
"Whatever you want, the address of the Dumpling King is" Ling Lin had no choice but to take Wei Ran.
After learning the address, Wei Ran didn't plan to go immediately, to see if the time was not early, and after saying goodbye to Ling Lin, he hurried to the vegetable market.
Su Xiaomin is going to report to school tomorrow, and Wei Ran wants to spend more time and cook a few more dishes, which can be regarded as a meal for her.
Su Xiaomin is not a picky eater, and she doesn't have a special favorite dish, as long as it is made by Wei Ran, she likes it very much, so Wei Ran only needs to cook some dishes that she has not done before.
After buying enough ingredients from the vegetable market, Wei Ran took a taxi back.
Back at the rental house, Wei Ran put down the two bags in his hand, went into the bathroom to wash his face, and began to get busy.
Half an hour later, the sumptuous dinner was carefully prepared by Wei Ran and served on the table, waiting for Su Xiaomin to arrive.
What is a little strange is that at this time in the past, Su Xiaomin would take the initiative to appear without reminding, why didn't he come today?
Wei Ran scratched his head, took out his mobile phone and dialed Su Xiaomin's phone, as soon as the phone was connected, the microphone split his face and said "Wait a minute, come immediately" and then hung up.
"What's wrong with this girl today?"
hung up the phone without saying a word, Wei Ran said a little unpleasantly.
Fortunately, Su Xiaomin was not perfunctory when he said that he would come immediately, and there was a knock on the door not long after.
"Don't you have the key? also knocked" Wei Ran muttered and walked to open the door, and when he opened the door, he couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him: "Who are you?" ”
"What? You don't know me when this girl puts on her clothes? Su Xiaomin bit her rather seductive pink lip and said coquettishly.
"Sister paper, don't bring this to play, just have a meal, do you want to dress so formally?" Wei Ran was powerless to complain.
Usually Su Xiaomin usually appears in Wei Ran's room in the image of cartoon pajamas, so to be honest, Wei Ran's impression does not seem to be Su Xiaomin wearing formal clothes.
Tonight, Su Xiaomin wore a light blue evening dress with a little powder, and the temperament of the whole person changed quite a lot, no wonder Wei Ran was shocked.
"I received a notice today that I was going to perform at the welcome party, so I wore this dress to show you." Su Xiaomin pouted and said, Wei Ran's expression was not as wonderful as she expected, and she felt a little defeated.
"That's it! I think it's okay to barely get by, so as not to scare the new students. Wei Ran said with a solemn face.
"You! Am I as scary as you say? Su Xiaomin exhaled.
It's not good, the joke was too much, Wei Ran quickly changed the topic and said, "What show are you performing?" ”
"Hmph, I won't tell you, I'm going to eat." Su Xiaomin said angrily, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get along with his stomach!
"Oh." Wei Ran responded lightly, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, eat!
Su Xiaomin couldn't wait to grab a pair of chopsticks from the table, and when Wei Ran saw that he just wanted to speak, the former stuck out his tongue and said, "I've washed my hands, I'm not a three-year-old child." ”
After saying that, there was an inexplicable feeling that arose, and it was a little uncomfortable to block my chest, what's wrong? Su Xiaomin asked herself.
How does this girl know what I'm going to say? Wei Ran smiled a little embarrassed.
The atmosphere of the whole room became delicate, and the two ate silently, until they were almost finished, Su Xiaomin broke the calm and smiled: "It's still so delicious." ”
"If you like it, eat more." Wei Ran smiled lightly.
After all, the meal was finished, Wei Ran silently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Su Xiaomin stood up, "I'll help you!" ”
Wei Ran was stunned, and then chuckled: "You are the eldest lady, how can you do such rough work?" ”
"Let's experience life once in a while!" Su Xiaomin said mischievously.
Wei Ran didn't refuse, Su Xiaomin helped him clean the pots and pans, his movements were very clumsy, it was good if he didn't break the bowl, after all, Su Xiaomin had never done anything like this at home.
After cleaning, it was time to go home, and before leaving, Su Xiaomin bit her lip and said softly: "Wei Ran, don't you believe it, next time I come back, I will definitely lose a lot of weight." ”
"I believe it." Wei Ran nodded solemnly, and then swore solemnly: "Don't be afraid, if you want, I can raise you to be fat for nothing." ”
"Poof, I don't want to get fat!" Su Xiaomin decisively refused.
"Well, do you want me to send you tomorrow?" Wei Ran didn't know what to say.
"No, you have to go to work tomorrow, it won't affect your work." Su Xiaomin shook his head.
"Good! Rest early tonight! ”
"Yes! I'm going to miss you for this meal ticket. ”
"Me too."
The two stood in the corridor and said goodnight to each other, the elevator came, Su Xiaomin waved his little hand, and walked into the elevator.
Watching the elevator door close, Wei Ran's whole body finally relaxed, and the thing he was not good at dealing with was this kind of parting moment.
Girl, have a nice trip!
