Duan Zhenyun's face looked as stinky as if he had swallowed a fly alive.
"Junior brother, sometimes you shouldn't be too arrogant, as your edge will be easily broken."
When they were young, Sun Ligen wanted to suppress him in everything. Although he was younger and of lower seniority than him, he did not know what humility was. He did not want to defeat him in such a despicable way. It was Sun Ligen who forced him to do so!
So what if you have the ability?
Jiang Zao will sooner or later become worse off than him!
Sun Ligen sensed a hint of threat, put away the smile on his face, and carefully thought about where he had offended them. He felt that his senior brother's targeting of his apprentice was a bit strange and abnormal.
Half an hour later, the judges finished scoring and the host announced the rankings.
First, the third, fourth, and fifth place winners were announced, and finally the second place winner was announced: "Congratulations to Comrade Su Huaizhou for his lotus root crisps winning second place. Let's give him a round of applause."
Finally, the first place winner was announced. After the host said many words of praise, he called out Jiang Zao's name in a loud voice.
"Congratulations to Comrade Jiang Zao for winning first place in the county chef competition! The top three will represent Nanning to participate in the municipal chef competition. Once again, let us give warm applause to encourage our top three comrades."
There was deafening applause from the audience.
Jiang Zao went on stage to receive the award.
The top three will receive red certificates and iron trophies.
Mr. Zeng presented the certificate and trophy to Jiang Zao: "Young comrade, you are very promising and have an immeasurable future! Try to win first place in the Beijing competition."
Jiang Zao smiled modestly: "Thank you, Mr. Zeng, I will continue to work hard."
She glanced down and fixed her eyes on the man in the corner of the back row, as if they were glued together.
In the crowd, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers sat upright on a chair.
The collar was slightly open with a few buttons, revealing a delicate collarbone, and the thin lips were slightly parted. The man wore gold-rimmed glasses with low degrees, and the lenses shone with a cold light. The corners of his eyes behind the lenses were slightly raised, giving off an aura of "keep away from strangers".
Only... looking at Jiang Zao on the stage, there was deep tenderness in his eyes.
Xiao Shuisheng raised his hand and applauded.
Xiao Chen, who was sitting next to him, almost clapped his hands until they were broken.
The leader’s wife won an award, so he can’t let her down.
Try harder!
Zeng Lao was still talking to Jiang Zao when he noticed she was stunned. He followed her gaze and the moment he saw Xiao Shuisheng, Zeng Lao walked over excitedly: "Professor Xiao, why are you here?"
Although Xiao Shuisheng has been working in the county research institute for many years, his contribution to the biopharmaceutical industry cannot be described in a nutshell. Many important figures would show respect to him when they see him.
Xiao Shuisheng stood up and shook hands with Zeng Lao. "I came to watch my wife's game. I got here by car this morning. I was in a hurry and didn't visit you earlier."
Contest?
Mr. Zeng thought about the players in the field and asked, "Who is your wife?"
Xiao Shuisheng stretched out his hand and motioned Jiang Zao to come over.
Jiang Zao came down with the trophy and certificate. Xiao Shuisheng naturally put his arm around her shoulders and introduced her: "This is my wife Jiang Zao. We got married last year."
Xiao Shuisheng is a professor, an educated person, and a person who has made contributions to society and the country. Everyone takes care of Jiang Zao for his sake.
Ordinary people wonder if putting their relationships on the table will lead to suspicions of backdoor dealings or something.
Xiao Shuisheng didn't have such an idea. If the research institute hadn't been busy, he would have come to support Jiang Zao from the first day of the competition.
I didn't tell her that I was planning to come because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come, which would make her have expectations and then be disappointed. It would be better to give her a little surprise.
In the future, people in the county and the city will know that Jiang Zao is his wife. When she goes out to compete again, her food, clothing, housing and transportation will be better than others, and she will not be bullied by those who bully the weak and fear the strong.
He worked hard to get to this point because he wanted to give Zaoer a comfortable and affluent life. If he kept it hidden, the original meaning of his efforts would be lost.
"Why didn't you invite me to the wedding? I'll make up the gift money later. You two are a perfect match. Did you see just now that the squirrel cakes Comrade Jiang made were very delicious, with a beautiful color, aroma and taste..."
What followed was some greetings, and after that, Xiao Shuisheng took Jiang Zao away.
After saying hello to Sun Ligen, Xiao Shuisheng took Jiang Zao to the guesthouse to pick up his luggage and asked Xiao Chen to deliver the things to the guesthouse where he was staying.
He arranged for Jiang Zao to go from the competition site to the guesthouse. "Why did you take your things away? Aren't you going home?"
According to the schedule, she should take the return train in the evening.
It was getting dark and the streetlights outside the guesthouse began to crackle. This street was quite old and most of the walls had fallen off due to lack of maintenance. Abandoned brooms and oil drums were piled against the walls.
Large-leaf camphor trees are planted on both sides of the street, with lush leaves and dense shadows pressing down.
Xiao Shuisheng took Jiang Zao's hand, which was a little cold. "You stay at home every day to deal with various things, or you are at the factory preparing for the competition. I see that you are a little nervous. It just so happens that the competition is over and the results are pretty good, so I will take you around."
"Let's try the delicious dishes at the city's state-owned restaurants. Let's go."
It’s getting late, so it’s time to go back and rest after dinner. I’ll take Zaoer somewhere else tomorrow.
Speaking of which, Jiang Zao was indeed hungry.
She is willing to use her brain for everything she does when she goes out, but when she is with Xiao Shuisheng, Jiang Zao doesn't think about anything and is unwilling to make decisions about what to eat or drink.
Xiao Shuisheng dotes on her very much and takes full responsibility for her.
The state-owned restaurants in the city have a wider variety of dishes.
Divided into cold dishes, poultry, seafood, soup, meat and seafood...
Xiao Shuisheng placed the menu in front of Jiang Zao and filled her water with the long-spouted teapot. "What do you want to eat? It's my treat."
Jiang Zao looked at the menu and snorted, "What do you mean by 'you treat me'? Every penny you have is mine."
On the far right side of the menu, there is also an introduction to the wedding banquet, with prices divided into three levels.
50 yuan, 55 yuan, 60 yuan.
Those with a little financial resources might set up seven or eight tables, and the banquet would cost three to five hundred yuan. After Jiang Zao calculated the bill, he looked at the 300 yuan watch he was wearing.
One can't help but sigh that she can call herself a favored daughter-in-law.
"I want to eat the three-color mixed bowl and Sichuan-style fish cubes. You can order one more."
The food here is much richer than in the county town, and also more expensive.
Xiao Shuisheng glanced at the menu and quickly decided, "Let's have the braised pig's trotter tendon and the golden and silver tofu."
Braised pig's pig's trotters cost 3.8 yuan, and gold and silver tofu cost more than 2 yuan. The whole meal cost more than 10 yuan.
Doesn't sound like much, does it?
Jiang Zao’s half month’s salary.
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
“I feel like I can’t finish it.”
Xiao Shuisheng smiled and handed the menu back to the waiter: "If you can finish it, take your time and eat it. There's no rush."
