Chapter 406 What Day Is Today?
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing turned on the flight mode in frustration.
I wanted to see a fried double crisp, but how many times have I been interrupted today?!
I’ll turn off my phone this time too. I don’t believe I can’t learn it!
"System, enter..."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Interrupt x 4.
Zhao Xiaojing rolled her eyes at the ceiling. "God damn it, what day is it today?! Can't I just not study? Huh?"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There was another knock on the door.
Zhao Xiaojing cursed as she walked out of the bedroom and opened the door.
"Hey! Why do you look like this?" As soon as the door opened, Su Yuchen rushed in trembling, with most of his hair and clothes wet, which scared Zhao Xiaojing.
"Help me open it and wipe it." Su Yuchen didn't bother to answer. He handed the guitar to Zhao Xiaojing and threw his bag to the ground with his other hand. He opened his umbrella and put it in the corridor before changing his shoes and rushing into the bathroom. He opened the door and instructed, "Use the dry towel in my bedroom to wipe it. Don't use a wet rag!"
"I know, how can your baby use a wet rag?" Zhao Xiaojing shook her head with amusement and opened the piano case.
Fortunately, only the box was wet, and the guitar was still intact and dry when it was taken out.
However, Zhao Xiaojing still wiped the guitar with a dry towel as instructed, and then used a wet tissue to clean the mud spots on the guitar case, and picked up Su Yuchen's bag on the ground.
The bag and the things inside were half wet. Zhao Xiaojing took the things out and wiped them dry one by one. Finally, she hung the half-wet bag on the balcony to dry.
After doing all this, Su Yuchen poked his head out of the bathroom again, "Hey, I forgot to take my clothes..."
"I knew it." Zhao Xiaojing stood up, picked up the clothes she had just taken out and handed them over. "Have you eaten?"
"No, we were planning to have dinner together after we were done, but there was such a loud thunderstorm that night that the company didn't dare let us continue recording for fear of burning the equipment, so we ended the recording early. We went outside and saw that it was raining so hard, and there was no convenient place to eat, so we gave up. I'm so hungry~~"
"I only have instant noodles. Can I add an egg or something and boil it for you?"
"Hey! How can I live without you?"
Su Yuchen quickly put on her clothes, and then began a series of steps: drying her hair, blowing her hair, and wiping her face. Zhao Xiaojing found some food in the rental house and made a bowl of instant noodles for Su Yuchen.
When Zhao Xiaojing's instant noodles were cooked, Su Yuchen came out dressed dry.
Both of them were busy all the time, and finally had some free time to stay at home. They chatted endlessly, and it was already eleven o'clock when Zhao Xiaojing went to bed.
Zhao Xiaojing felt that today was strange. After struggling for a while, she was afraid that something would interrupt her again, so she completely gave up on learning how to make the fried double crispy dishes.
The next morning, when Zhao Xiaojing arrived at the store, she found that Yun Yongyuan and Hou Guihua had already arrived.
"Junior sister! Junior sister, you...!" Yun Yongyuan ran over to Zhao Xiaojing the moment he saw her. He held his heartache for a long moment, then finally shoved a list into her hands. "Take a quick look and see if it's okay. See if there's anything missing. I'll go get some with Sister Hou right away! There's still time!"
"Nothing is missing, I just have to leave work late today." Zhao Xiaojing smiled and looked at Yun Yongyuan's handwritten list, then handed it back.
"Why? Did I prepare the food wrong?" Yun Yongyuan looked nervous.
"That's all right. I just prepared a little more. Probably a hundred more dishes in total. I'll be off work a little later, but that's okay."
Zhao Xiaojing would constantly learn from experience when preparing food with Xiaozhi every day. Now, at a glance, she knew that since today was a weekday and the weather was sunny after the rain, Yun Yongyuan had prepared a little more food.
But it doesn't matter, because she currently prepares the food according to the schedule of selling out at 1:00 p.m. and having lunch at 1:30 p.m., selling out at 8:30 p.m. and having lunch and leaving get off work at 9 p.m. Selling about a hundred servings will only take about an extra hour, which is only half an hour longer when spread out between noon and evening.
Anyway, all the employees in the store are currently paid based on commission, and generally have no complaints about overtime.
"I told you that you have to do it. A hundred copies will take at least an hour..."
"It's okay. One more hour means I can earn more. If you prepare for a few more days, you'll have a better idea. I believe you! Did you buy the locust flowers?"
"Oh! I forgot about that! I didn't write it down..."
"There's nothing in the market. I've checked everything. I'll make a note of it for you!" Hou Guihua laughed as she cut the fermented dough into dough pieces. "Haha, you quitting has Xiaoyun so flustered. He changed the order several times last night and called me early this morning to say he wants to go with me to check it out! I think Xiao Zhao trusts you with this because he trusts you and isn't afraid of you messing up. But he's just afraid he won't do well, and he's been worried sick all morning!"
"Exactly. Didn't you try to draft a list a few days ago? The fact that I'm willing to give it to you shows you've reached the level of ability. Just go for it." Zhao Xiaojing gave Yun Yongyuan an encouraging gesture, then turned to watch Hou Guihua cutting the dough. "Steamed buns? Did you and Sister Geng make some dough again last night?"
"Make dumplings. I've already mixed the filling. Didn't you say you wanted to eat the dumplings I made when you were eating dumplings yesterday? This is easy!" Hou Guihua cut the dough in no time and started kneading the dough.
"Sister Hou is so nice to me." Zhao Xiaojing smiled as she watched the dough sheets taking shape in Hou Guihua's hands.
As they were talking, Geng Mingyan also arrived at the store. Seeing that there were enough people to cook, Zhao Xiaojing used her mobile phone to check the train tickets.
From Jiangcheng to Tuancheng, a regular train ticket takes more than four hours, while a high-speed train ticket only takes one and a half hours. Zhao Xiaojing decisively chose the high-speed train.
But there is not enough time to go on the 2nd and 4th, so I can only buy tickets for the 2nd and 3rd one day in advance and book a hotel near Baitao Satellite TV.
But the notice didn't mention how many days they needed to stay. If it was the same as Jiangcheng's previous model, where they just left after the competition, wouldn't it be really pitiful for those contestants who traveled from faraway provinces and were eliminated? They traveled thousands of miles just to be eliminated.
No, it seems that the contestants who advanced are even worse off. They have to go home after the competition that day, and then wait for the notification of the next competition before going again?
Zhao Xiaojing thought about it, took out her cell phone and raised her doubts to the assistant director who had contacted her earlier.
"The breakout round is from 300 to 100. As long as you make it to the top 100 in the country, the organizer will provide dormitories. You can move in after you advance. Players from other provinces can even stay there until the next game begins. However, only accommodation is provided. Although there is a cafeteria for meals, you need to pay for them yourself." The assistant replied within seconds.
How arrogant! Zhao Xiaojing sighed again.
Before she could reply, the assistant director sent another message.
"Sister, I'm very confident that you can make it into the top 100. Do your best, sister. Once you advance, I'll arrange a dormitory for you!"
