The end of practice.

Wei Ran returned to the rental house, took a cold shower, and made some food at random, there is nothing to pay attention to alone, if Su Xiaomin is here, he will definitely change his tricks to make dinner.

After dinner, Wei Ran lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

The popularity of the five-star hotel is getting stronger and stronger, and Wei Ran's contribution is undoubtedly the greatest.

In the upcoming dumpling competition, Wei Ran is bound to win, after all, in his most difficult period, it was Ling Lin who took him in, and winning the dumpling competition can bring honor to the five-star hotel, which can be regarded as repaying Ling Lin's kindness.

Of course, this is not enough, making the five-star hotel bigger and stronger is one of Wei Ran's goals!

"Tomorrow is the day of the preliminary trial of the dumpling competition, so let's rest early." Wei Ran retracted his thoughts and muttered to himself.

Nothing was said all night.

Wei Ran came to the vegetable market early in the morning, discussed with the stall owner who sold spinach, and returned to the five-star restaurant.

"Wei Ran, in the preliminary trial of the dumpling competition in the afternoon, are you still going to use Phoenix Jade Dumplings?" Ling Lin asked with a smile.

"Well, Sister Ling Lin, will you come with me?" Wei Ran smiled lightly.

"Of course, I'll definitely go with you." Ling Lin affirmed.

"Good!"

According to Ling Lin, there are three preliminary judges of the dumpling competition, all of whom are authoritative figures in the food industry, so the judging should be very strict, but Wei Ran will not have any pressure because of this, and self-confidence is a necessary condition for success.

After yesterday's exaggerated scene, Wei Ran also knew that more than 400 dumplings were not enough, so he had already discussed with the spinach stall owner just now to send 80 catties of spinach over, if he could, Wei Ran wanted more, but unfortunately, people could only provide so much a day at most.

By noon, with the concerted efforts of the three people in the five-star hotel, a total of more than 800 dumplings were made, which was twice as many as yesterday.

Since Wei Ran announced in advance yesterday that he would entertain customers in January and February, although many customers did not have their birthdays in this month, they also tried their best to bring their eligible family members over, so the number of customers today was much more than yesterday.

"I thought I had enough dumplings prepared today, but it turned out," Wei Ran said helplessly.

"It's okay, sell as much as you want!" Ling Lin has thought about it a lot, and the higher her popularity, the greater the chance of winning the dumpling contest at that time.

"Sister Ling Lin, remember to inform the customers to go to the competition site to support us when the time comes, and say that there is a free tasting of food." Wei Ran admonished.

"Good! I'll be informed. Ling Lin nodded.

After speaking, Wei Ran turned around and went back to the kitchen, it was time for the dumplings to cook

More than 800 dumplings, a total of 120 servings, all sold out.

"Whew, my face is numb with laughter." Ling Lin said with a wry smile.

"Sister Ling Lin, to be honest, although I am tired enough, I feel as if I have inexhaustible strength when I see the satisfied smiles of the customers." Wei Ran said with emotion.

"I think your greatest happiness is not your own happiness, you want your dishes to bring happiness to others, and you will only feel happy when others are happy." Ling Lin smiled skillfully.

"You really understand me." Wei Ran smiled slightly.

"I've always been very accurate when I look at people!" Ling Lin said proudly.

After resting for a while, Wei Ran made a phone call to Bai Bai and told him that this afternoon's training plan was canceled and he was going to the preliminary trial site of the dumpling competition.

The first judging venue for the dumpling contest is in a five-star hotel, and only a hotel of this size has so many kitchen equipment for the contestants to prepare their own works.

When they came to the door of the hotel, Wei Ran and Ling Lin saw someone holding a sign, who was the staff of the dumpling competition.

"Hello, we are here to participate in the preliminary examination of the dumpling competition." Wei Ran smiled lightly.

"Hello, please take the elevator to the 7th floor, look for room number 705, and hang the number there." The staff patiently guided.

"Okay, thank you."

Wei Ran turned his head to look at Ling Lin, and the two walked into the hotel, and the greeters on both sides politely said welcome.

"I didn't expect to have to queue up for registration?" In the elevator, Wei Ran was surprised.

"There are too many applicants, the weight of the title of the dumpling competition is very heavy, and it is normal for the competition to be large." Ling Lin thought for a moment.

In last year's dumpling competition, more than 20 people passed the preliminary examination and entered the real competition.

When he came to room 705, the door was open, Wei Ran reached out and knocked on the door twice, and then walked into the room.

"Coming to the preliminary trial?" A middle-aged man with glasses glanced at Wei Ran and said.

"That's right!"

"This is your number plate, the seventh group, go back to the hall on the first floor and wait, when it's time for your game, the staff will notify you."

"Good!"

Wei Ran took the number plate and walked out, and said to Ling Lin: "They are divided into groups for preliminary review, ten people in each group, and I am the number 6 of group 7." ”

"I didn't expect it to be quite troublesome." Ling Lin looked at the number plate and said.

"Well, it's okay, it's not just us who is in trouble, everyone is the same." Wei Ran said lightly.

He Ling Lin returned to the hall on the first floor, he didn't pay attention just now, but now he saw that the waiting area next to him was almost full of people, presumably these were all contestants.

Wei Ran glanced around, and didn't find that the people in the Dumpling King Restaurant were puzzled, and someone explained his confusion.

"Last year's champion Dumpling King Hotel, why hasn't you come yet?" A red-faced middle-aged uncle asked a friend beside him.

"People are champions, and they don't need to be preliminary, and they can directly advance to the next round of competition."

"That's it!"

I see, no wonder I couldn't see them, Wei Ran thought as he found a vacant seat and sat down with Ling Lin to wait.

The arrival of Wei Ran and Ling Lin did not attract too much attention from the contestants present, and they just chatted with people they were familiar with.

Wei Ran was a little bored admiring the decoration style of the hotel, and at this time, the three men who had just come in from the door caught his attention.

The backs of two of them are a little familiar, as if they have seen them somewhere? Wei Ran thought to himself.

Wei Ran watched the three of them closely, and just as they were about to disappear around the corner, one of them turned his head as if he was aware of it, and just met Wei Ran's gaze.

It's him!

Wei Ran frowned, he didn't expect to meet him here.

Finding that someone was watching them, this person called his companion, then pointed at Wei Ran, and after a moment of exchanging heads, the man broke away from his companion and walked in the direction of Wei Ran.

"Yo, what a coincidence, Mr. Nosy."

"It's a coincidence." Wei Ran was noncommittal.

That's right, this person is the short young man who found fault and performed at the Dumpling King Hotel the day before yesterday.

Wei Ran had already guessed whether their deliberate troublemaking had anything to do with the dumpling competition, and sure enough, he guessed correctly!

"Do you remember what I said?" The short young man sneered.

"Oh, I've got a bad memory, why don't you say it again?" Wei Ran said slowly.

"Hehe, it's okay if you don't remember, I'll make you remember." With that, the short young man turned and left.

It's really a narrow road!
