"Wait, what did you just say? Are you here to participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition? That Chopin International Piano Competition I know of? ”

Mr. Brotz's spoon fell, slapped the table suddenly, leaned forward, and stared at Fu Tuo, his eyes were about to fall out in surprise, no longer indifferent from before.

"The five-year piano event where the world's strongest pianists come together, the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"Well, if there are no other games that are exactly the same, it should be?"

Fu Tiao didn't expect Broz to be so excited, so he could only nod honestly and said casually: "It seems that I have won a championship in other competitions before, and I don't need to submit a letter of recommendation to apply for the Chopin International Piano Competition in the future, so I will come directly to register." ”

At least as far as I can remember.

Fu Tiao added in his heart.

"Ahh......h

Brotz sat back in his seat, his hands nervously rubbing his clothes, a little unsure of where to put them.

He really didn't expect that he would be able to attract such people to open a particularly remote and cheap homestay.

It's like you have a rental house for more than ten yuan a night in Tongxian County, and there is usually no one person, but when the Beijing Olympics happened, an Olympic athlete moved in?

That's pretty much how it feels.

The popularity of the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw is almost similar to this, and every time the Chopin International Piano Competition is held, the whole city is dressed up as the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Street stops, bus stops, roadside advertisements, all will be replaced with Chaucet information, and even if you sit on a chair on the side of the road, the chair will automatically make a piano sound.

The only difference between the two is that the Olympic Games will have a special place for them to be accommodated by the organizing committee, but the Chopin International Piano Competition will not arrange accommodation.

Unless, you reach the second round, then you will get the accommodation and piano room arranged by the organizing committee until you are eliminated.

Wait a minute? Piano room?

Broz suddenly remembered that when he had brought Fu into the room, he was obviously very interested in the old piano in the room, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little dry.

"That...... Me, is that piano at home okay? Still satisfied? ”

"It's okay, it seems to be able to play." Fu Xuan smiled, stirred the Russell soup in his hand with a spoon, tore a piece of bread from the side, and took a sip of the soup: "It's because I'm frozen, I have been lying on the bed for a long time with a cold and fever, and everything else is fine." ”

"That's right......" Brotz was stunned, bowing his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The room gradually became quiet, and Fu Tiao did not tell him what he thought, and until the two of them finished dinner, there was no further conversation.

After stuffing the last bite of Russell soup into his mouth, Fu Tiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"Mr. Brotz, how ......much is this dinner?"

Fu Tiao touched his pocket, and his smile gradually stiffened.

He forgot that the original owner seemed to be a little stingy, and when he came from the country, he directly calculated according to the minimum consumption, and it seemed that there was only one hundred zlotts left on his body for emergency purposes.

The round-trip ticket was booked in advance, and the homestay house where I could play the piano was also purchased a month in advance, and even on the first day of my arrival in Warsaw, I bought a lot of bread and stuffed it in the house to prevent myself from starving to death.

White bread with a little old godfather brought from China, in addition to no nutrition, the food is delicious!

The consequence of being overly stingy is that Fu Tiao really doesn't have much money to give to Broz, even if today's dinner only costs 20 zlotys, he is a little afraid to make a move.

A hundred zlotys for emergency is already very bold, and to turn back eighty zlotys, or even sixty zlotys?

Isn't this just waiting for death?

Brodz didn't seem to notice Fu Tuo's embarrassment, raised his head and glanced at him, shook his head indifferently, and smiled: "No, it's okay, this meal is my invitation, I haven't eaten with others for a long time, but I didn't expect that the first time I ate in such a long time was to eat with the contestants of the Chopin International Piano Competition, this is my honor!" ”

"Aha......" Fu Tuo blinked his eyes and hesitated: "Thank you?" ”

"Nie Ma za co" Brodz waved his hand, got up and put away the dishes, and after a while, he suddenly turned his back to Fu Tuo and said: "By the way, if you are okay, you can always eat with me in the future, anyway, I am bored alone, I burn a lot, and I am wasted, and there is no shortage of you alone." ”

After that, he seemed to know Fu Diao's concerns, tilted his head slightly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "You don't have to worry about money, you don't need money to eat with me, if you are really grateful, then play the piano for me more when you have time, right?" ”

"It just so happens that the qualifiers for the Chopin International Piano Competition are just three days later, and I don't have any other hobbies, old man, I just like to listen to classical music, so you can just play whatever you like."

He seemed to be afraid that Fu Tiao would not agree, so he immediately followed up.

"Also, how about we make a bet?"

"Bet?"

Fu Tiao was stunned, he didn't expect Mr. Brotz to say this, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What are you betting on?" ”

"If you can pass the qualifiers, I'll give you all your rent, how about it? Not only will I return it to you, but I will also give you a whole amount, and I will directly make up 3000 zlotys (about 6000RMB) for you! How? ”

Fu Tiao was stunned and hesitated: "So...... What if it doesn't pass? Do I have to pay anything? ”

"If you don't pass, you won't pass, it doesn't matter, it's just that you can't get this 3,000 zlotys."

After Brodz washed all the dishes and threw them in the dishwasher, he turned to lean against the stove and said to Fu Tiao: "After all, the first guest on my side is a member of the Chopin International Piano Competition!" I dare say that apart from me, there will never be a second B&B that can have this kind of opportunity!! ”

"And, if you can get a higher score, such as winning the championship, my B&B can even be said to be a champion B&B! I can earn more than PLN 3,000! ”

"How? Think about it?. ”

"I ......"

Fu Tiao was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

Soon, though, his fingers touched his empty pocket, and he nodded immediately.

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome! Just take what you need. ”

Brodz turned around and continued to clean up the kitchen, Fu Tiao hesitated for a moment to come forward to help, but was driven upstairs by Brodz to let him rest.

In the evening, Brodz walked into the house with a huge electric oven, plugged it in, and lay on the recliner in the room to signal Fu to play the piano.

Fu Tune hadn't practiced the piano for a long time, and he was a bit handy, so he started practicing from the most basic skills and played until late at night.

I don't practice those Chopin's works, but I play them according to my own temperament, and from time to time I look at Brodz on the side, think about his thoughts, and then cooperate with the piano to interpret his ideas in music.

Brotz just stayed quietly and listened, and when Fu stopped listening, he immediately got up and left.

Intentionally or not, he forgot the electric oven in the house.

For several days, it was like this.

……

A few days later, while Fu was playing the piano, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and an email was transmitted to his mobile phone through the wireless network in the house.

"Dear Mr. Fu Diao, hello, the round of your Chopin International Piano Competition Qualifiers is: the third day, the first half, the second place, the time is 10:30, please sign in at 9:30 at the latest, the indoor piano room opens at 7:30 a.m., and the upper limit of the practice time is 2 hours, the Organizing Committee of the Chopin International Piano Competition."
