"Qiu Wen's data is pretty good!"
In He Yishen's office, after looking at the test data brought by Zhao Heping, the first person to speak was Wu Shengping, the coach of the national team's sprint group.
Wu Shengping's main event is the 200-meter sprint, and he occasionally trains in the 400-meter event. The reason for this is that there are so few decent 400-meter athletes in China. For events like the World Championships and the Olympics, domestic 400-meter athletes simply cannot meet the competition standards, and thus very few athletes are called up to the national team for training.
But even so, as a coach, Wu Shengping has no problem estimating the potential of athletes in their events through data. When he heard that this was Qiu Wen's first test result without any 400-meter training, his eyes lit up immediately.
Before being invited to coach the track and field team of the S Province Sports Team, they had of course also looked at the data of the players in the S Province Sports Team. As the coach of the sprint group, Wu Shengping would of course also pay attention to Qiu Wen's previous results.
Before seeing Qiu Wen's test data today, my inference about Qiu Wen's data and results was basically consistent with that of the coaching staff of the S Province Sports Team - Qiu Wen is a player with certain potential, but judging from the overall data, it is difficult for this player to achieve breakthrough results in the 100m and 200m sprints.
Originally, Wu Shengping's suggestion to Qiu Wen was to shift the focus from training athletes to regular training.
However, after seeing Qiu Wen's 400-meter test results today, Wu Shengping's thoughts changed completely - Qiu Wen's first test results show great potential in the 400-meter event!
He Yishen was somewhat surprised and delighted by the data brought by Zhao Heping. After all, Qiu Wen was a member of the S Province Track and Field Team who had been trained all the way. If he could really have outstanding potential and results in the 400 meters, these would be the achievements and honors of the S Province Track and Field Team.
"47.58 seconds... This is really unexpected!" He Yishen looked at the data in his hand and felt a little emotional. Zhao Heping also nodded in agreement.
To be honest, if there were really talented people, their team would not have failed to transfer the athletes to suitable events. It’s just that they had not considered Qiu Wen’s possibility in the 400-meter event before.
In the circle, there is actually a calculation formula for estimating an athlete's 400-meter performance - multiply the athlete's best 200-meter performance by 2, plus 3.5 seconds, and that may be the result the athlete may achieve in the 400-meter event. Of course, this also requires the athlete to switch to the 400-meter event and then train hard to have a chance of achieving it.
Qiu Wen's best 200m result so far is 21.37 seconds. If we apply the formula based on this result, Qiu Wen's 400m result will be 46.24 seconds after proper training.
Under such circumstances, Qiu Wen already had the 100m and 200m events under his belt, so of course there was no need to consider switching to the 400m.
Who would have thought that they almost missed a genius in the 400-meter event?
In He Yishen's office, several coaches from the national team were listening with great interest to the chat of Zhao Heping, Wu Shengping and others - after all, an athlete who was originally about to be removed from the list of key athletes to be trained was suddenly discovered to have talent in the 400-meter event. This kind of legendary story, this kind of talented athlete being discovered by one's own discerning eyes, is basically what every coach has dreamed of. Now, looking at the gossip in front of them, it is a bit like reading a real-life version of a YY novel, which makes them quite interested.
"Old Zhao, you have made a great contribution to the team this time!" After He Yishen finished reading Qiu Wen's series of data, he turned around and praised Zhao Heping.
When Zhao Heping heard this, he frowned and said, "No..."
"Hmm?" He Yishen looked puzzled: "Not what?"
Zhao Heping smiled and sighed: "It was originally Su Bai's idea to suggest Qiu Wen turn 400 meters."
This is what Zhao Heping wanted to say when he first came here, but in the middle he was introducing himself to several national team coaches and communicating with Wu Shengping, and the previous group of people were busy talking, so he didn't have the chance to say the name Su Bai until now.
Seeing He Yishen's surprised look, Zhao Heping told him everything about Su Bai's visit to his office in the morning to chat with him. Only then did everyone realize that there was such a character as Su Bai involved.
"It's more than that."
Since the words had been spoken, Zhao Heping recounted in detail what happened during the afternoon test.
"Coach Wu just felt very strange. Why are the results of the four sets of test data fluctuating so much..." Zhao Heping paused, with surprise on his face: "Although it is incredible, from the facts and the feedback from Qiu Wen, a large part of the reason is that the rhythm distribution and technical guidance in the two middle sessions were not done by Su Bai."
The coaches originally just thought it was amazing that Qiu Wen’s talent in the 400-meter race was discovered. Who could have thought that Su Bai was involved?
Wu Shengping was very curious: "This Su Bai's name seems familiar. Is he also the sprint coach of your team?"
Su Bai's previous sprint results were very ordinary. Although he also participated in some national competitions, Wu Shengping obviously had never paid any attention to Su Bai as a player, so he simply thought that the name Su Bai sounded familiar.
At this moment, He Yishen's face was also full of disbelief - he certainly knew what Zhao Heping meant by saying these words, but if Su Bai really had this ability, He Yishen would still be happy to give him a position as an assistant coach in the team.
But...
Just as Zhao Heping had worried before, Su Bai's current identity and his skills in the kitchen made it difficult for him to move back to the coaching team from the kitchen.
"As for Su Bai..." He Yishen glanced at Zhao Heping, then at Wu Shengping and other coaches from the national team, and felt a little headache.
Just at this moment, He Yishen's assistant knocked on the door and said that it was almost dinner time and asked if he wanted to go eat first. At the same time, the assistant also said that the director of the sports team and several others had been led towards the cafeteria.
Okay, that's just perfect.
He Yishen clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, it's time to eat. Let's go eat first." After a pause, He Yishen smiled and said, "When we get to the dining place, we will be in good time. We can also see Su Bai."
Having said this, He Yishen took the confused Wu Shengping and the others all the way to the third floor of the track and field team cafeteria.
Sports Team Canteen on the 3rd Floor
It happened to be lunchtime at this time. In the cafeteria hall on the 3rd floor of the sports team, the team members were gathered in twos and threes, happily calculating how many delicious dishes they had gotten from Su Bai's window on their plates, while familiar teammates were chatting with each other.
After Qiu Wen finished the 400-meter test in the afternoon, it was dinner time now. He looked so refreshed and energetic. Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng could tell at a glance that this boy's afternoon test must have gone very smoothly.
Not only did the test in the afternoon go smoothly, but Qiu Wen was also very lucky in the evening - all the dishes on his plate were taken from Su Bai's window. In contrast, Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng only had one dish each from Su Bai today, so of course they couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Wang Shen looked at Qiu Wen and then showed a smiling face.
"Well, it seems that your test this afternoon went very smoothly, Old Qiu. If so, then we should share the joy with everyone... Why don't we share this beef stew together!"
As he spoke, Wang Shen was about to stretch out his chopsticks, and Cui Luoheng, who had been looking unhappy, also showed an eager look after hearing what Wang Shen said - after all, it was beef, and there would be no problem for them to take a few bites of Qiu Wen's nutritious meal!
“Hey hey hey!” Qiu Wen’s face changed immediately when he saw the two hungry wolves beside him. He immediately protected the plate in front of him with his hands: “Stop! There’s no way I can give you the beef soup!”
"No beef soup?"
Cui Luoheng took a reluctant look at the clear beef soup with a hint of spicy ginger, which looked particularly tempting, and then turned his attention to the steamed fish with delicious sauce on the side.
"or……"
"No, no!" Qiu Wen held his beef and steamed fish fiercely, and refused to give up the food on the plate.
Seeing that Qiu Wen was unwilling to share the food, Cui Luoheng looked at the food in his hand expressionlessly. Finally, he sighed and carefully divided the only plate of stir-fried eggplant that he had taken from Su Bai's window into four portions, preparing to eat it carefully together with the other dishes.
Qiu Wen breathed a sigh of relief only after he saw Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng give up - it was not that he overreacted, but these two had worked together to cheat food out of him two or three times before, which greatly increased his vigilance and he was determined not to be fooled again.
Wang Shen felt quite regretful when he saw that Qiu Wen was not as easy to fool as before. He ate the food in front of him while chatting with Qiu Wen and Cui Luoheng.
"I see that Xiaobai seems to have prepared a lot of extra food today. From what I saw, there were braised pork, sweet and sour spareribs, and seafood hot and sour soup. They don't look like the side dishes we usually have, and I didn't see any in the window. I wonder who got this treat."
Hearing the words "braised pork" and "soy sauce spare ribs", Qiu Wen and Cui Luoheng both stopped eating with their chopsticks. Cui Luoheng looked at the dishes on his plate except the stir-fried eggplant with soy sauce and felt even more unhappy.
"This is the third floor of the cafeteria. If it's not for us, then who else can it be for?" Qiu Wen frowned. "Wow, could it be that those coaches really came here to eat for free and ordered extra dishes?"
It can be said that Qiu Wen’s statement is not correct, but it is not far off.
Just as Qiu Wen finished speaking, he saw a group of people walking in from the door on the third floor of the cafeteria. Leading them was Li Peisheng, the director of their track and field team, followed by the team's deputy director, head coach He Yishen, Zhao Heping and a group of others.
"Wow, the big guys really come here to eat for free?"
There is actually a separate so-called VIP room on the third floor of the provincial team’s cafeteria. Occasionally, when some leaders come to visit or for other purposes, they will also be entertained in this VIP room.
There are several advantages to entertaining in your own team. The ingredients in the team are all real good stuff, and there is no aversion to extravagance and waste.
However, according to Li Peisheng's idea, since these coaches of the national team were finally invited, he should first invite them out for a good meal. However, He Yishen suddenly said that a top chef had come to the third floor of the cafeteria, and his cooking skills were definitely not worse than those of the high-end private chefs outside.
Li Peisheng thought that if there really was a chef of this level in his team, it would be a face for the team, so he agreed.
After he agreed to this, before arriving at the cafeteria, he felt a little regretful that he had agreed to He Yishen so hastily, and was a little worried. But after he called Wu Shengping and others to the third floor of the cafeteria, the worry in Li Peisheng's heart disappeared completely.
Wow!
The aroma of food in the air can make people's stomachs crawl with hunger even from ten meters away. With this skill, Li Peisheng is very sure that no chef in the team in the past would have this ability.
It’s incredible!
Where did Sun Xiangdong get such an awesome person to join the team?
While smelling the tempting aroma in the cafeteria, Li Peisheng smiled and greeted Wu Shengping and the others behind him: "Come on, coaches, today we will host a welcome party in our team's cafeteria. All the food is cooked by the chefs in the team cafeteria. Please don't mind the simplicity!"
Look at this, look at these cute words!
Look at this smug look!
"Oh my." Wu Shengping and his friends were walking in the cafeteria, and they could already smell the aroma of food that made people's stomachs growl. He immediately said with a smile, "Director Li, your cafeteria is of an extraordinary standard! How can we dislike this taste? Let's go, I can't wait to eat!"
Everyone politely gave way to each other, and then couldn't wait to follow Li Peisheng to the small VIP room. Li Peisheng's assistant saw that they had all arrived, so he ran to the kitchen in a few steps, smelling the fragrance, and told Sun Xiangdong and Su Bai in the kitchen that the dishes could be served.
In the kitchen, the dishes prepared for the VIP room were all prepared by Sun Xiangdong, with Su Bai in charge. In Sun Xiangdong's words - Lao He specifically said that he wanted to entertain the national team coach, so could it be my, Sun Xiangdong's, cooking skills that he wanted to show off? Xiaobai, hurry up, this is your chance to achieve great things!
Sun Xiangdong's words were a bit exaggerated, but Su Bai didn't say anything. He just smiled, then picked some ingredients from the kitchen, adjusted the amount of some nutritious meals, and prepared a table of more than ten dishes.
After the assistant gave the order, Su Bai began to put the prepared dishes on plates one by one. Sun Xiangdong and the assistant started serving the dishes and delivered the hot and fresh meals to the VIP room.
In the VIP room, Wu Shengping and others were praising the track and field team for a job well done - look at those athletes, they are so active in eating!
"We have also visited many team cafeterias to allow players to eat more and eat more abundantly. All provincial teams have worked very hard, but some players just can't eat well. If players can't cooperate with nutritious meals and supplement nutrition according to their needs, they will always be affected to some extent."
At the dinner table, Yue Bowen, coach of the national team's high jump team 2, was the first to express his feelings, and coaches from other groups around him also nodded in agreement.
They have some players under them who have been called up to the national team for long-term training. Even though the national team's canteen has been built to the highest possible standards, there are always a few players who don't like to eat, which makes them worry from time to time.
During the conversation, Sun Xiangdong and his assistant had already arrived at the VIP room with plates of food. Sun Xiangdong even brought a wooden barrel of rice - the rice was carefully selected by Su Bai, and no one knew what method he used to steam the rice, but the rice was exceptionally crystal clear and smooth, tempting to the mouth.
After the dishes from the kitchen were delivered to the large turntable in the VIP room like a stream of water, no matter the original hosts such as Li Peisheng, He Yishen, or the visiting coaches such as Wu Shengping and Yue Bowen, they were in no mood to be polite.
Once all the dishes were served on the table, wow, the taste was amazing.
The tableware in the cafeteria is actually very simple, all white porcelain plates and bowls, but look at the white porcelain plates, the braised pork is fat and lean, and each piece is soaked in the sauce. Pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it in your mouth and take a bite, the aroma just bursts out in your mouth, making people can't help but take a few more mouthfuls of rice, with the rich and full flavor of braised pork, and then swallow them into their stomachs with a sense of happiness.
There are also the sweet and sour spare ribs. The bones have been boiled until they are soft and rotten. Most of these ribs have some chewy cartilage, but this cartilage is not difficult to chew. Even people with poor teeth can take a bite and easily feel the pleasure of the cartilage being crushed in their mouths.
And every part of the ribs and cartilage is tasty. The sweet and sour ribs with a hint of sweet and sour taste instantly whets your appetite. You feel like you can swallow the whole plate of ribs.
In addition to these slightly heavy dishes, the refreshing cold dishes on the table were also very delicious. The unremarkable smashed cucumber and spiced edamame were empty in minutes, so much so that Li Peisheng was a step slower with his chopsticks and saw the last piece of smashed cucumber being eaten with satisfaction by the national team coach sitting opposite him.
There was also a portion of steamed egg with scallops for everyone, a small bowl of abalone stewed with cabbage, and fried yellow croaker that was fried to a crispy golden color and not at all greasy...
The table was filled with dishes that looked like they could not be finished. However, every dish was swept away like a whirlwind by everyone present.
So much so that, by the time everyone finished their meal, the plates on the table were completely empty.
Everyone in the table, from Li Peisheng to He Yishen, and then to Zhao Heping, Wu Shengping, Yue Bowen and so on, all had their stomachs full. Now, as they drank tea, they looked at each other, smiled slightly awkwardly, and then began to praise the chef who prepared this feast.
"This is the chef in the kitchen!" Wu Shengping and others gave a thumbs up.
Li Peisheng was also very curious about the new chef who could prepare such a delicious meal. He turned to look at He Yishen and said, "Old He, it was you who suggested that we have dinner here today. Do you know who this chef is?"
puff.
The topic finally turned here.
When He Yishen heard this question, he almost spit out the tea in his mouth. After choking, he coughed without changing his expression.
"Ah, this chef...his name is Su Bai."
"Su Bai?" Li Peisheng was stunned: "This chef has the same name as Lao Zhao's apprentice?"
Zhao Heping also shook his head speechlessly at this moment: "This Su Bai is my disciple."
"ha?"
Li Peisheng was stunned for a moment: "Didn't Su Bai just retire from our sprint team a while ago? Why is he in the kitchen? Does he have this skill?"
Zhao Heping had a complicated expression - he had more than just this skill.
On the side, Wu Shengping was also stunned when he heard Su Bai's name: "Wait... Which Su Bai are you talking about?"
After a pause, he hesitated and said, "Could it be...that Su Bai?"
