That night, when Qiu Wen, Su Bai's teammate who shared the same dormitory with him, came back, he saw Su Bai sitting in front of the computer watching videos.
"Xiaobai, what are you looking at?" Qiu Wen tugged at his sweaty training suit. After entering the door, he took off his short-sleeved training suit and wiped the sweat off his body.
Su Bai was sitting in front of the computer watching the video. Because he was wearing headphones and had his back to the dormitory door, he did not hear the noise when Qiu Wen came in or his questions.
Qiu Wen hastily wiped the sweat off his body, but found that his roommate ignored him, so he turned around and rubbed against Su Bai to see what he was looking at so intently.
On Su Bai's computer screen, there was a teaching video of a chef preparing a dish. At this moment, the chef was explaining the basic points of making a certain dish.
? ? ?
In the live broadcast, the dishes made by the chef looked very tempting, but Qiu Wen looked confused.
"Su Xiaobai, what are you looking at this for?"
When Qiu Wen's head rubbed against his side to watch the screen together, Su Bai found that Qiu Wen was back. He took off his headphones and said to Qiu Wen who looked curious, "I'm learning to cook."
…
…………
ha?
"Learn to cook?" Qiu Wen was a little confused: "Why are you learning to cook if you don't train well? I didn't see you on the training ground today! Besides, don't you know how to cook?"
Before submitting his retirement application today, Su Bai had not told his teammates about this matter. Now that it has been finalized, there is nothing to hide.
"Today I submitted my retirement application to my coach."
"Ah?" Qiu Wen heard this and didn't care why Su Bai was watching the cooking tutorial. He pulled over a stool and sat down, staring and asked, "What's going on? Why did you retire without saying anything? You know how our Zhao Tou treats you. You have been training with him for 10 years. If you don't continue to train hard and get results, what can you do now that you retire?"
At this point, Qiu Wen remembered what video Su Bai had just watched, and his brows furrowed so much that he could pinch a fly. He pointed at the scene in the video and said, "Are you really planning to become a chef?"
Chef is a nicer term. Su Bai doesn't have the qualifications to be a chef, so he might not even be able to get a job as a kitchen helper. After all, he is a national first-class athlete. Even if it's not easy to get into the sports circle, it's better to find a small private school and apply for a job as a physical education teacher!
Qiu Wen is a stubborn person. Even though Su Bai, his roommate and teammate, seems a little lonely and difficult to get along with, Qiu Wen treats Su Bai as a good brother and teammate. He doesn't want to see his good brother go astray.
Su Bai felt very grateful when he saw Qiu Wen worrying about him, but his experiences and personality since childhood made him not good at communicating with others, so he usually didn't talk much.
But no matter how quiet he was, he still explained seriously to Qiu Wen: "Don't worry, Awen, the coach said that our sports team's canteen is looking for a chef, and he will take me to meet Master Sun tomorrow."
Zhao Heping said that he would take Su Bai to meet Sun Xiangdong, so this matter was basically true.
Hearing this, Qiu Wen was slightly relieved, but he was still a little worried about Su Bai: "I'm telling you, Xiaobai, are you really going to be a chef? Don't you think it's a pity?"
For athletes like them, there are several best options after retirement. One of course is to stay with the team and become a coach, even if they start as an assistant coach or sparring partner. Once they have accumulated a certain amount of experience and are qualified to lead a team in training, and can make some achievements, their lives will be stable. There are also some athletes with good results who, even if they cannot become coaches, can find a regular job in the sports bureau of the county, city or district in the hometown of each team member.
In addition, there are those who have passed the referee qualification exam - which is not that easy. Most of them will find jobs as ordinary physical education teachers in sports colleges, physical education teachers in junior and senior high schools, and those who are not so good will switch to other jobs.
Qiu Wen frowned and said, "You were admitted to the sports training major, don't you think it's a pity?"
Su Bai was silent for a moment. If possible, he would also like to become a coach, but this is definitely not something he can do just by wanting to. Even if Zhao Heping wanted to help out because he had raised him since he was a child, it was definitely not something Zhao Heping could easily reach.
A position in the cafeteria kitchen would be fine, but if Zhao Heping really gets him a position as an assistant coach, what will the other players he has also trained think?
Besides, there is more than one coach, Zhao Heping, in the sports team.
Su Bai smiled, but didn't continue talking to the stubborn Qiu Wen.
Seeing that Su Bai didn't continue the conversation, although Qiu Wen was stubborn, he instinctively knew that it was not a good idea to continue the topic. He sighed, scratched his head, and after looking at Su Bai's computer screen, he thought of another thing.
"Hey, Xiaobai, aren't you going to meet Chef Sun tomorrow? Will he ask you to cook a dish on the spot?" Qiu Wen felt more and more that this might happen, so he suddenly put his hands solemnly on Su Bai's shoulders: "Xiaobai, let's go! Let's go to the cafeteria first. Otherwise, you can cook a dish for me first to test your cooking skills. Don't be so nervous tomorrow that you forget how to cook!"
Qiu Wen's thoughts jumped so much that Su Bai was a little confused. He didn't understand how the topic suddenly turned to this point.
Seeing Qiu Wen eager to try, Su Bai was dragged out of the dormitory by him.
"Wait, we have nutritional standards for meals. Whatever you want to eat now will not be suitable!" Su Bai couldn't persuade Qiu Wen, and he pushed him all the way out of the dormitory door.
Qiu Wen was no longer stubborn at this moment. He said seriously: "Old Zhao said that with my current training volume, I can have 1-2 meals a day to supplement my nutrition. It will be no problem for me to have a bowl of noodles and an egg tonight!"
Hearing this, Su Bai looked at his roommate who had dragged him to the cafeteria with some suspicion. He felt that he could reasonably suspect that Qiu Wen had just gotten hungry after watching the chefs cooking on the live broadcast, which was why he did this.
However, Su Bai remembered the level 1 basic cooking skill he had acquired after completing his daily tasks, and suddenly thought that it would be a good idea to go to the cafeteria to cook a dish and try out this so-called level 1 basic cooking skill.
When the two arrived at the cafeteria, it was just after 8 o'clock in the evening. The cafeteria had been cleaned up and the lights were turned off, but the lights were still on in the kitchen.
When Qiu Wen and Su Bai knocked on the door of the kitchen, only Sun Xiangdong, the chef of the sports team, was left inside.
Sun Xiangdong is not only the team's chef, he has also obtained a nutritionist qualification certificate. The nutritional meal plans for the athletes in the sports team are determined by him and the coaches of various projects.
Every night, he would personally go to the kitchen to determine the list of ingredients to be prepared for the athletes. At this time, all the chefs except him would have gone off work first.
Sun Xiangdong saw Su Bai and Qiu Wen and smiled: "What are you two doing in the kitchen at this time?"
Before Su Bai could say anything, Qiu Wen said righteously, "I'm hungry. Let's find something to eat."
"Wow? Not bad, you've learned your lesson and now you know to come to the cafeteria to get something to eat when you're hungry." There was a hint of sarcasm in Sun Xiangdong's words.
The truth is that although these athletes in the sports team know that the team has corresponding dietary regulations, they do not pay much attention to dietary nutrition.
They would eat three meals a day in the cafeteria obediently, but apart from the three meals, if they were hungry, these guys would basically make some snacks for themselves, and usually would never go to the cafeteria kitchen at any time other than mealtime.
Qiu Wen looked righteous, but Sun Xiangdong also saw Su Bai who came in with him.
Although Sun Xiangdong looks like a rough man from Northeast China, he is not a rough man at heart. Thinking of the greeting Zhao Heping gave him today, and looking at the way Qiu Wen dragged Su Bai all the way here, Sun Xiangdong guessed what these two people were going to do.
Thinking of this, Sun Xiangdong waved to Su Bai and said, "Xiaobai, Lao Zhao told me about you. It's good that you and Qiu Wen are here together. Just cook something that he can eat and bring me one too. If there's no problem, Lao Zhao won't have to bring you here again tomorrow."
The meaning of Sun Xiangdong's words was clear. He was telling Su Bai not to panic and that the matter was basically settled.
Hearing this, Su Bai nodded gratefully to Sun Xiangdong.
It was a great fortune for Su Bai to be able to stay in the sports team after retiring. He stayed in the sports team for ten years. Whether it was coach Zhao Heping or chef Sun Xiangdong, there were many other people who took good care of him.
For him, the S Province Sports Team is his home in his heart. This is also the most reluctant thing for him to leave when he decided to retire...
Su Bai's mind was full of thoughts. After agreeing to Sun Xiangdong's words, he turned to the food storage area in the back kitchen, took out the appropriate amount of noodles, green onions, vegetables, eggs, etc., and then took these things to the cooking area on the side.
Seeing Su Bai about to start cooking noodles, Qiu Wen, who had been dragging Su Bai here, became a little nervous. He didn't expect to run into Sun Xiangdong here at first, and now he had changed the assessment that was originally scheduled for the next day to tonight.
If Su Xiaobai fails to do this well, wouldn't it be his fault?
While Qiu Wen was worried, Su Bai had already prepared all the ingredients neatly. He was planning to make a simple noodle soup.
Su Bai didn't know if it was his illusion, but from the moment he entered the kitchen and started selecting ingredients, he was able to pick out the ones he thought were most suitable.
This feeling was a little mysterious, but when he saw that juicy little cabbage, he felt that it was the most tender and green of all the cabbages.
With this inexplicable feeling, Su Bai boiled water while gently putting noodles and cabbage into the boiling water to cook. While the noodles were cooking, he also fried two eggs in the wok next to him.
When the fried eggs were finished, the noodles on the side were also cooked. Su Bai scooped up the noodles with a colander and put them into a bowl that had already been prepared with seasonings. He also scooped a spoonful of broth from the soup pot hanging on the side and poured it on the noodles that had just come out of the pot.
In the huge soup bowl, there is a bowl of fragrant pork bone soup, a ball of perfectly cooked noodles, a few leaves of green vegetables, a pinch of chopped green onions and a tempting golden fried egg.
When the two bowls of noodles were brought to the big table in the kitchen, Qiu Wen could not take his eyes off the slightly steaming and fragrant broth. He hugged the bowl and chopsticks that Su Bai handed to him with a cry, and regardless of how hot the noodles were just out of the pot, he just slurped a mouthful, then stared, and started to eat them in big mouthfuls with a cry.
On the side, Sun Xiangdong was also amazed at Su Bai's skill. Not to mention Su Bai's smooth operation just now, the noodles looked so outstanding after coming out of the pot, and the aroma was so strong that he could hardly resist it.
Sun Xiangdong didn't comment at first, but just picked up the bowl of noodles and started eating.
For a moment, neither Sun Xiangdong nor Qiu Wen could give him a sincere feedback about eating the noodles.
But Su Bai now felt that it didn't matter whether there was feedback or not - he seemed to have discovered something else.
For example, he now looked at Qiu Wen, and next to Qiu Wen there was already an athlete number and a reference to his personal physical condition... ? !
What is going on? !
