At noon, the second tube came to the medical hall to find Xu Mingtang, "Uncle Xu, you have to help persuade Brother Bai, the organizing committee of the Noodle King Competition called, our Qin Ji entered the top ten, let him go to the live competition, Brother Bai almost went back to the house and said that he couldn't go, if I hadn't snatched the phone, Qin Ji would have abstained directly." ”

"Why didn't Baike participate?" Xu Mingtang asked.

The second tube said: "He is only willing to contribute his back even to take a video, and if someone comes to the store to see him, he can hide from anyone directly, and now let him appear on live TV, it will kill him." ”

Xu Mingtang smiled: "If he is not happy, you can't tie him up, what about Uncle Chen?" ”

Erzhu smiled bitterly, "Uncle Chen said that he was scared, and when he saw more people staring at him, his legs trembled and he wanted to pee." ”

"Hehe, it is indeed difficult to get Uncle Chen to come to the stage. Liu Xin and Xiao Xie are at most miscellaneous, so you won't talk about it, and it's not a photography competition. Xu Mingtang commented pertinently.

"Yes, Qin Ji has no one to go on except for Brother Bai."

Xu Mingtang thought for a while and asked, "How did the competition work, how many people participated?" ”

The second tube broke his fingers and introduced, "The competition is divided into three games, the first one is a must-win event, and the last two games are played by the noodle restaurant. The scene is composed of five professional judges and 20 citizen judges, each accounting for half of the points, good or bad, the scene has to be commented. ”

Xu Mingtang usually doesn't pay attention to any events, he said: "Oh, it sounds quite lively. ”

The second cylinder said: "It's not, don't say how many rankings, being able to participate in the competition is the best publicity, if Qin Ji wants to open a branch, he has to participate in this competition, otherwise those young people, or those who live a little farther, who knows who you Qin Ji is?" That's right, Uncle Xu. ”

"You're right," Xu Mingtang nodded, and asked again, "But when is Qin Ji going to open a branch?" ”

The second tube habitually said, "The date has not been set yet, but I am here to be the branch manager." I'll talk about this later, so let's persuade Baige to participate in this competition first. ”

Xu Mingtang continued to ask: "Are the materials for the competition prepared by the organizers?" ”

"No, it's all prepared by the noodle restaurant itself, and the organizing committee pays for it, but it is stipulated that the raw materials must be brought and processed on site, and even the peanuts used for the noodles must be raw and brought to the scene to be fried. The morning game is a noodle race, and the noon and afternoon games are two other games, because some of the self-selected noodles require time to boil soup. If there is a secret seasoning or preparation method, there will be a special shelter on the scene, otherwise, the noodle restaurant would rather withdraw from the competition and protect its own craftsmanship. ”

"Sounds like a good competition, why doesn't Baike want to participate?"

"I don't want to show my face, I don't want to be pointed at, I don't want to affect my free life, he also knows that his face is a bit peachy." The second cylinder shook his head a little jealously.

"Are there any rules for who participates?"

"There are 3 to 4 people per noodle shop, and there are no special rules for the rest."

"Where's the game time?"

"August 3rd."

Xu Mingtang was surprised: "The day after tomorrow? ”

Erzhu shrugged helplessly, "Well, I can't persuade Brother Bai, Uncle Xu, it's up to you." ”

"Okay, I want to think about how to persuade him, if Qin Ji participates, it will be a trouble for Uncle Chen not to go."

The second tube said, "I'll go and persuade Uncle Chen." ”

Xu Mingtang was silent, shook his head and said, "No need, I think of another suitable candidate." ”

The second cylinder asked curiously, "Who?" ”

"Leave it alone, leave it to me."

Erzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, with Uncle Xu, you will definitely be able to do this." ”

Not long after going to work in the afternoon, Qin Baike came over to find Tang Yiyi, "Today's August 1st Army Day, Boss Fan recruited a group of comrades-in-arms for a gathering, you go with me, by the way, see how my mother recovers, and see when you can start the next course of treatment." ”

Tang Yiyi turned his head to see Xu Mingtang nodding, and then said, "Okay." ”

Xu Mingtang asked Qin Baike to sit down, "Baike, you tell Uncle Xu the truth, why don't you want to participate in the noodle king competition so much?" ”

Qin Baike said disappreciatively: "Uncle Xu, that kind of competition usually sponsors more and who wins the championship, and pushes that store into a natural brand of Yicheng, and there is a benchmark when introducing Yicheng tourism in the future, I didn't pay a penny, and I went to accompany the runner, how can it be fair." ”

Xu Mingtang said bitterly, "It's not wrong for you to think so, but the world is impermanent, sometimes things may not develop according to the wishes of the organizers, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing, just like you this time, didn't you inexplicably enter the top ten?" Since you have the opportunity to compete, you can't win the championship, and you can promote yourself, and you have nothing to lose, right? ”

"Uncle Xu, that, I can't do it alone, Uncle Chen will definitely not go up, he said that he would kill him."

"Then Uncle Xu came to find you an assistant, do you believe me?"

Qin Baike was stunned and said, "I believe it, but I ...... it."

Xu Mingtang raised his hand to stop him, "Don't say it, I'll find you a good assistant, you have to go, that's all." You go for the drive, I'll give you a few words. ”

Qin Baike watched Xu Mingtang open his mouth, and finally went out helplessly.

"Yiyi," Xu Mingtang said, "You go with him this time, in addition to seeing your Aunt Qin's physical recovery, there is also a more important thing, which is to persuade him to participate in the competition, understand?" ”

Tang Yiyi said: "I understand, but how can I persuade him?" Although Baige is not good at studying, he is very smart. ”

"You're also smart and opportunistic."

“…… Oh. Tang Yiyi replied helplessly.

Qin Baike drove to the door of the medical hall and said to Tang Yiyi that he would drink at night, and he couldn't move the car after that, so he would return tomorrow morning and ask Tang Yiyi to bring a change of clothes.

Tang Yiyi went back upstairs and packed a small backpack and ran down.

On the way, Qin Baike asked Tang Yiyi: "Did Uncle Xu ask you to persuade me to compete?" ”

Tang Yiyi was stunned, quickly shook his head and said, "No, the master knows that I am stupid, so he won't let me do this." ”

Qin Baike smiled, "Okay, then you are not allowed to persuade me, you are not allowed to say a word." ”

“…… Oh. Tang Yiyi supported his head with his right hand, and said in his heart: Alas, Master, I'm sorry, it's not that the apprentice is stupid, it's really that the enemy army is too cunning, and the apprentice has already died before he can get out of the school.

The car drove out of the city silently, Qin Baike knew it in his heart, and deliberately asked Tang Yiyi: "If you don't speak, what do you think?" ”

"Uh...... Baige, what is your birthday? ”

"What? Want to celebrate my birthday? ”

"What time is the month?"

"July 22nd."

"Just a few days?" Tang Yiyi was surprised: "Brother Bai, you are thirty-one years old, you should celebrate." ”

Qin Baike was silent for a moment, "My mother has never remembered my birthday, when I was a child, my father made me a bowl of noodles to eat every birthday, and told me that it was my birthday." After the age of 15, I didn't have noodles to eat on my birthday, but Xu Bo would give me a pair of sneakers every year when he bought a birthday gift for Xiaobin, and I never had a birthday after leaving home to study at the age of 19, and I never remembered it myself. ”

"Wait, July 22nd," Tang Yiyi flipped through the second cylinder of Weibo, it happened to be the second day after he posted Qin Baike's video, and a large number of diners who came to see Qin Baike's appearance forced him to hide upstairs all night, "Brother Baike, I will accompany you to eat noodles on your birthday, and you made noodles by yourself!" ”

Qin Baike was stunned, "It was July 22nd?" ”

Tang Yiyi said excitedly: "Yes, it won't be wrong." ”

Qin Baike smiled, "What a coincidence." ”

"yes, I didn't say a word of happy birthday, now I'll make up for it."

"Thank you!"

"I want to have a birthday cake."

"Hehe, I'll go back and buy it for you."

Tang Yiyi smiled proudly, but suddenly remembered what the little mother said: My husband has spoiled his daughter as a lover since she was a child.

She thought, I don't know if Qin Baike spoils her as a lover or as a daughter?

On July 22, Cancer, family trumps everything, and a soft heart is wrapped under a hard shell.

When they arrived at the Green Plant Villa, Qin Baike's ten comrades-in-arms were already sitting and drinking tea in the activity room.

There are four or five people from other places, everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, and they are all very affectionate when they see Qin Baike, saying that they have come from afar, but the nearest guy has arrived so late, and he must be punished for drinking.

Qin Baike asked Tang Yiyi to go to see Qin's mother first, and when she left, the gang immediately interrogated him: Is it your girlfriend?

Qin Baike hurriedly said: "It's okay to joke with me, don't talk nonsense when the little girl comes." Even if I wanted to chase it, I wouldn't dare to chase it now. ”

When everyone heard this, they asked strangely, why didn't they dare to chase it?

He said: "She can watch me go on a blind date with great interest, do you think she can have me in her heart?" ”

A short fat man said: "Qin Baike, Qin Baike, it turns out that your kid also has today, the eyes of the little girl who came to the team to condolence are rolling on you, and now there are chicks you can't chase, yes, it must be a good girl, I have to help the little girl polish your kid again." ”

Everyone applauded, yes, it had to be a little more difficult. Some family members who came with him covered their mouths and said, "Why is Baike not married, how old is this?" ”

Boss Fan said: "It's thirty-one, how many people have introduced him, but he didn't become one." He turned his head to Qin Baike and said, "Otherwise, tonight, my brother will help you create an opportunity to sleep first, and then wait for the raw rice to be cooked...... "The two pillows smashed towards him.

There was a commotion in everyone, and a handsome and handsome guy ran behind Boss Fan and put his arm around his shoulder, and asked Qin Baike: "This kind of guy with dirty thoughts, you say, how to get him." ”

When Tang Yiyi walked over, he saw a group of old men playing in a group from a distance, and the joyful atmosphere could be heard from afar.

When a group of people saw Tang Yiyi coming over, they immediately reined in, and they all sat down in a similar manner, one more serious than the other, they gave her a place beside Qin Baike, and then started chatting with each other respectfully.

Talk about their recent situation, talk about which comrade-in-arms and who has been promoted, who and who has earned how much money, who and who has retired early due to illness, and traveled around the world.

Talking about the recent events in Yicheng and talking about the competition of the king of noodles, Tang Yiyi immediately had a flash of inspiration when she heard this topic, she interjected and said: "Brother Bai's Qin Ji has entered the top ten, and he will go to the TV station to compete the day after tomorrow, live broadcast." ”

Everyone was also excited when they heard it: "Baike is you going to be on TV?" Can I go to the scene to see it? Still need to vote? Dude, they'll give you a male boost. ”

Qin Baike laughed twice, gritted his teeth and pulled out a smiling face to look at Tang Yiyi, Tang Yiyi winked at him innocently: "Brother Bai, I will also go to cheer you on." ”

"Well, thank you, your master really accepted a good apprentice."

"Brother Bai, everyone hopes that Qin Ji can be a blockbuster, come on." She waved her little fist at him.

Tang Yiyi stood up and told everyone to go to the kitchen to help, and ran away as soon as she left, and as soon as she left the group, she immediately started to gag and joke about Qin Baike.

At dinner in the evening, the men sat at a table and drank freely, the women sat at a table, Fan's wife greeted here, and opened a ** beer for Tang Yiyi, Tang Yiyi hurriedly pushed it to others, Fan's wife said: "Yiyi, you were quite able to drink last time?" Will you drink some more this time? ”

Tang Yiyi said: "Brother Bai won't let me drink. ”

"Yo, so obedient, Baike," Fan's wife said to Qin Baike at the table next to her, "Yiyi said that you won't let her drink, give a precept today." ”

Qin Baike said: "Don't let her drink, when I drink too much later, she will take care of me, right?" Yiyi. ”

Tang Yiyi smiled at Qin Baike "hehe", thinking: Usually Qin Baike who talks to her like this has to stay away from him.
