waiting for the flowers to bloom

Song Fanfan was rarely so decisive. He applied for a French tourist visa a few days ago, and quickly asked for a leave of absence from school, so he seized the time to do the things at hand.

Shan Xingqi leaned against the door to drink tea, and said sourly: "Why did you suddenly think about it? Now it's over. Now that you and Mrs. Maisel leave, I will become a room inspector."

"Didn't you keep pushing me to reconcile with him? Take credit for it!"

"Then I have made a great contribution, and I will have to calculate the labor fee with Sui Dong later."

Song Fanfan looked up at him, then smiled and lowered his head to work, "Then you go and calculate with him, and tell me later, so I can know how much I'm worth to Sui Dong."

... This small-minded person turned around and beat Sui Dong hard, so he didn't tell you.

"How long does the visa take?"

"More than 10 days, I'm not sure."

"Then their game had already started when you passed by, right?"

"Almost, but they have a very long competition line, not every day, it seems that each time there will be a different theme, and then complete within the specified time. About one or two missions a week, not all individual competitions, it seems that there are some competitions in the competition system Two or three team competitions. In previous years, the competitions can basically be postponed until the beginning of July. This year, I heard that the competition system has been changed, but the details are still unclear."

"The investigation is quite clear... It seems that you have put in a lot of effort?"

Song Fanfan was a little embarrassed, "I found it after a search on the Internet. Do you have any plans recently? You can actually go around the UK, and there are so many places you can go. Oh, you can also go to Ireland."

"Well... okay, I'll see the situation, and I'll tell you and Mrs. Maisel when the time comes. But if you go there alone, it's okay, right?"

"It's okay. I've checked the place to live and the route in advance. There should be a lot of English-speaking people there. If you can't do it, just ask for directions. I'm sure you won't lose it."

"Okay. Oh, by the way, you must be careful when you go there, especially don't get close to the trash cans over there. It's best to check the trash cans in the hotel before using them. The news doesn't say that there are many trash cans over there. Are the local trash cans blown up?"

"Why are you like my mother? All right, I'll be careful. If you don't want to be hungry, go and cook. I really don't have time to do it today."

Shan Xingqi left on the 29th. He said that he would go to Scotland first, then transfer to Northern Ireland, Ireland, and then return via Wales.It sounds like a very long journey, but it would be good for him to go out and relax, and save myself from worrying about him being bored here alone.

Song Fanfan took out the suitcase and put it away, then checked the carry-on luggage again, and found that there was nothing missing, so we could set off.

This day is June 6th, and the competition has already started for two days.

Song Fanfan confirmed their itinerary with Mrs. Messer before.They are still in Spain and are going to leave for Italy in a few days.

At the moment, Song Fanfan is still waiting at the airport. The flight ticket is at 3:10 pm. He departs from Leeds and is going to transfer to London. It is almost [-]:[-] pm when he arrives in Lyon. He has already booked a hotel near the airport for one night, and he will go there tomorrow. Put your luggage away, and then go to the stadium to check the situation... Song Fanfan planned his itinerary in his heart.

He hasn't told Sui Dong about his going to Lyon yet, and he didn't intend to create something on purpose, but he was both disturbed and excited, and also somewhat inexplicably uneasy...

In the past few days, he tried to think about what he should say when he saw Sui Dong.Where will they meet?He must be very busy at this time, is it really appropriate for him to come at this time?Questions like these ran over Song Fanfan's mind countless times.

I haven't received any news from Sui Dong in the past month. A few days ago, Shan Yuqi kept scaring himself that Sui Dong must have found spring there. If Xingqi's words became true, wouldn't he become a joke again?

This unknown itinerary was arranged too suddenly, which made people nervous and exciting.

At 21:51 in the evening, Song Fanfan got off the plane, carried his bag and followed the crowd into a bus, and when he finished the formalities and left the airport, Song Fanfan was still dizzy.

This is it?

Lyon!

At this moment, he has a feeling that he came to England for the first time that year, and it was the same that day, arriving after 10 o'clock in the evening.There were several other people in the same company, but their destinations were different after getting off the plane.

He went through the formalities like a duck being driven, picked up the luggage, filled out the form, and got the certificate. When he realized that he was standing alone outside the terminal building, it was already past 11 o'clock.The people in the same company took the airport bus and left first. At that time, I seemed to have not recovered from the panic just now. It took 20 minutes in the cold wind to realize where I was and where I was going.

Song Fanfan lay on the bed after taking a shower, still planning the arrangements for the next few days, thinking about it, and suddenly felt that it would be too sudden for him to come here like this?I don't know what the format of the game is like, can I see him?Will it affect him?

Suddenly he wanted to retreat a bit, he knew Sui Dong's contact information, why don't he ask in advance?Forget it, it's too late today, let's see the situation tomorrow.

Because there were things on his mind, Song Fanfan didn't sleep well all night, so he checked out of the room early the next morning and went to the booked accommodation with his bags on his back.

It is a homestay, the price is much cheaper than the hotel, and it is also clean. The location is far from the street and not remote. The only troublesome thing is that it is a bit far from the competition venue... It seems that you need to reverse the car a few times when you check.

He originally wanted to find a place closer, but after checking the nearby hotels were very expensive, and he also felt that the environment was very bad and seemed unsafe, so he had to choose here after weighing the trade-offs.

This house looks old. When Song Fanfan knocked on the door, he was still thinking about how beautiful this street is. If only he could live in this kind of place in the future.He didn't envy other people who bought a sky-high apartment in a big city. It would be nice to have a house of his own in this kind of clean alley, not too remote, and not too noisy.In fact, York is also pretty good. Thinking of this, Song Fanfan also feels quite satisfied, at least he has experienced this kind of life.

Why no one opened the door?Isn't it scheduled to check in today?Song Fanfan took out his mobile phone to check the order.

After reading it carefully, I realized that I missed one point. It said that you can check in after [-] pm.

What can we do now?It's only less than ten o'clock now...how about going to the arena first?It's only an hour, four and 10 minutes from here, which is plenty of time, but the bag is a bit heavy on the back.

Although the search guide was very detailed, Song Fanfan still had a bit of trouble finding it. After all, he moved to a completely unfamiliar place, and he was not familiar with the station or anything.When he arrived at the arena, it was already 12:30 noon. He was really tired and hungry, but when he thought that he would see Sui Dong soon, he couldn't help being a little excited.

The building in front of me is very beautiful and huge, more like an exhibition hall, with the simple words "World Novice Dessert Contest" on the gate, but it is very grand, and it seems that there are many people.

Song Fanfan thought it would be embarrassing for him to go in with a big bag on his back, but he didn't want to find out that the inside was not as formal as he imagined.There were people of all ages, dressed casually, and an exaggerated camera team was shooting, so messy that he thought for a moment that he had gone to the wrong place.

I don't know if they are competing now or what, why is it so messy?

Song Fanfan asked someone who seemed to be a staff member, and only then did he understand the competition system of this competition.

In the previous rounds of knockout competitions, all were individual competitions. Everyone gave the same theme, completed and displayed their works within the specified time, and then let the judges and audience taste them.

Although most of the players had been wiped out before this competition, it was considered a world-class competition, and many people still entered the competition.Under such circumstances, if you want to go through all obstacles and make it to the next group stage, it is a new idea, because the theme is very simple, and there are many contestants. If you want to advance, you can only see whose works are more attractive and impressive. .

And the most important thing is that after the works are exhibited, the contestants cannot show up before voting. The judges and audience can only see the works through the display cabinet. When tasting, everyone eats according to their own interests, and then votes.This largely maintains the fairness of the game and can test the true level of the players, but it is indeed troublesome.

Song Fanfan listened to someone else's explanation, and took a copy of the competition system from the door to explain it, which made him feel like sweating for Sui Dong.

Right now, this situation should be in the exhibition stage, and Song Fanfan also registered the information and asked for two tickets.Because there are 40 finalists in the competition, each person can receive two tickets, but they cannot vote for the same person, because it is a registered vote, once this happens, the vote will be invalid.

The guide also specifically emphasized that in the case of the same name, it will be differentiated in the system when registering and exchanging tickets... and so on, he explained a lot, but he didn't want to read it right now, so he stuffed it into his schoolbag Here, I want to see what kind of desserts are on display in the first round.

The theme of the first round of competition is "Charming Chocolate", which is very direct and attractive, but it should be very difficult for the contestants.Innovation is not just attractive in appearance. Desserts are food after all, and the most important part is of course taste and texture. Facing the theme of chocolate, which is like a popular lover, Song Fanfan has also seen the power of these dessert chefs.

Although it was a novice competition, the finished product was so exquisite that people couldn't take their eyes off it. Of course, it might be because he was a layman.

Song Fanfan turned around trying to find the showcase that might be Sui Dong's work, but after turning around twice, he had no clue, but he knew that he and Sui Dong didn't have such a high level of tacit understanding.

However, he does have a few showcases that he likes very much, and one of them is particularly impressive.It was a very simple showcase, because it was so simple that it formed a sharp contrast with all the showcases on the field.The inside of the showcase is pure white, and all the accessories, tableware, and desserts are also pure white without any decoration.It's quite unique, but it's too simple. I just don't know how it tastes. If this person is lucky, he should be able to advance to the next level...

While taking pictures, Song Fanfan was thinking in his heart, comparing with other works.This can't be Sui Dong's, right?Sui Dong's consistent style is very simple.But when I think about it carefully, I don't think so. Although Sui Dong focuses on the simple route, but in such an important game, he has to try his best to show more skills, right?
