Different God of Cooking [Rebirth]

In his previous life, Zhao An also participated in the fifth Xinghai Cup competition.

Although Zhao An had been studying piano for more than two years at that time, he had only passed the ninth grade exam and was preparing to take the tenth grade exam in 95.

Zhao An will take one hour of piano lessons every week, and the instructor is a junior high school music teacher.The teacher's original major is vocal music, and the piano is not a special major. He only learned it when he was studying in a normal school.

Even if it is much cheaper than the professional teachers in the piano shop outside, it still costs ten yuan per hour. At that time, the combined monthly salary of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother was less than 300 yuan.

The only advantage of finding a school teacher to learn piano is that Zhao An can use the school's piano practice after school, and after getting close to the teacher, he has the key to the music classroom, and can practice even during lunch break.

In his previous life, Zhao An was still a little black and thin after entering junior high school, with an unremarkable hairstyle, a school uniform that was washed to the point of whitish, a schoolbag with frayed edges, and a non-Chengdu local accent, which made the students in the class not like it. Zhao An contacts.

Only when Zhao An played the piano, the students would look at him with admiration.

It can be said that the piano was Zhao An's strongest shield at that time, used to resist the shadow of elementary school experience and isolate the world at the same time.

So Zhao An worked very hard, took a two-hour lunch break at noon, 10 minutes for eating, 10 minutes on the road, 10 minutes for a nap, and spent the rest of the time practicing piano.This is especially true for the two hours between afternoon and evening self-study.

Sometimes the music teacher has no way to guide Zhao An more professionally. All Zhao An can do is to practice according to the score over and over again.

Read the book a hundred times and practice the piano a thousand times.

Many tracks in the amateur piano level test are relatively well-known. For example, the song "Flight of the Bumblebee" has been one of the nine-level assessment tracks for a long time.

In the 90s, Huaxia introduced a lot of piano tapes. Zhao An used the living expenses he usually saved to go to the audio-visual store to buy those tapes that recorded the repertoire of the grade examination.

This is how Zhao An improved his piano level step by step.

When the school started in the spring of 95, the music teacher told Zhao An about the Xinghai Cup with the attitude of letting Zhao An try it, and mentioned award certificates, cash rewards and even performance opportunities.

It was also from this moment that Zhao An realized that the piano could bring him more things.

In the first semester of the second year of junior high school, Zhao An practiced desperately and finally passed the Xinghai Cup qualifiers at the end of June.

Although he was not the number one in Rongcheng, this result was enough to make Zhao An feel excited and happy. It turned out that he was no worse than a child born in a big city.

But after the ecstasy, Zhao An was again powerless by reality.Because the Xinghai Cup final was held in the capital.

After Zhao An secretly inquired about the round-trip ticket to and from the capital, the accommodation fee, and the time required, he dismissed the idea.

Learning the piano has already brought a great burden to the family, and Zhao An usually saves a lot.Other students need 50 or 60 living expenses a month, but Zhao An only uses about half of it.

The reason why Zhao An insists on the piano is because Zhao An has no way to leave the piano, not only relying on it, but also liking it.

In the end, Zhao An chose to give up the final of the Xinghai Cup. He told the music teacher that he did not want to participate.But Zhao's father and Zhao's mother didn't know the results of the Xinghai Cup.

Zhao An was remembered by some government departments and performance organizations because of his Xinghai Cup preliminary results. He got some performance opportunities when he was in high school, and he was even able to subsidize his family.

But in the days to come, Zhao An would also think: What kind of results would he achieve if he participated in the Xinghai Cup finals?Are you eligible to participate in international piano competitions?Will my own piano path go more smoothly?

However, these doubts and regrets were firmly suppressed by Zhao An, and no one knew Zhao An's negative emotions.

When Zhao An heard that Ji Jiashu was going to participate in the Xinghai Cup, his first reaction was that he wanted to sign up too. After all, this was one of Zhao An's obsessions back then.

It's just that Zhao An quickly gave up this idea. Although he has not been recognized by the international classical music circle, his strength in piano should not be underestimated, otherwise he might be so popular in China.

Asking Zhao An to participate in the children's competition whose grade is no more than 15 years old, Zhao An is really not so shameless.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Zhao An doesn't want to play the piano in front of other people. There are not so many reasons, and this has gradually become a habit.

But if Ji Jiashu is going to participate in the competition, Zhao An will of course support him unconditionally.

In all fairness, the current level of Ji Jiashu is higher than that of Zhao An back then, and Zhao An really wants to know what kind of achievements Ji Jiashu can achieve.

When Zhao An and Ji Jiashu were working hard for the final at the end of August, they got an unexpected news.

"An'an, I may not be able to participate in the competition."

As soon as he walked in, Zhao An heard Ji Jiashu's aggrieved voice.Ji Jiashu's face was also full of disappointment.

No wonder I didn't hear the sound of the piano when I was downstairs just now. Ji Jiashu usually started practicing piano at this time.

Zhao An quickly asked what happened.

When they learned that Ji Jiashu had passed the Xinghai Cup preliminary selection, Ji's father and mother said that they would take Ji Jiashu to the capital to participate in the competition.

The father and the mother had asked for leave from the unit two months in advance, and the unit had already agreed.But who knew that the unit would have an important project in the second half of the year, and Ji's father and mother, as the main persons in charge, would not be able to leave Chengdu for several days.

"Since I was a child, my parents never told me about their work. I have to leave home whenever I have a work task. I haven't even gone to their unit to play."

Over the past few years, Zhao An has also discovered the particularity of Ji Jiashu's parents' work, but Ji Jiashu has always been very sensible and never complained about anything. Until today, Ji Jiashu couldn't help but say a few words, because he wanted too much. Participated in the Xinghai Cup finals.

Zhao An was listening to Ji Jiashu's complaints. Zhao An had already vaguely guessed about the work of Ji's father and mother.

Although Ji's father and mother did not mention work in front of Zhao An, Zhao An saw a lot of physics books in the bookcase of Ji Jiashu's home, quite a few of them related to nuclear physics.

Zhao An knew that there was a Institute of Nuclear Industry Physics in SC province, and considering that Ji's father and mother were usually silent about their work, it was basically certain that Ji's father and mother were engaged in research and design in this area.

Although nuclear physics research gradually came to the fore after the 80s, the confidentiality requirements of relevant researchers are still quite strict.

Since Ji's father and mother have said that they will have important work in the second half of the year, I'm afraid there is really no way to take Ji Jiashu to the capital.

"Do you have any other relatives in Rongcheng?" Zhao An asked tentatively.

"No."

Ji Jiashu slumped back on the sofa with a look of despair.For Ji Jiashu, who is always full of vitality, it is really rare to show such a side.

"Okay, let's practice the piano."

Zhao An tried to pull Ji Jiashu up from the sofa.

"No, there is no way to participate in the competition anyway. I want to rest."

Ji Jiashu suddenly sat back forcefully, and at the same time pulled Zhao An down forcefully with both hands.

Zhao An didn't expect that Ji Jiashu would use his strength suddenly, his center of gravity was unstable for a while, and he fell directly towards Ji Jiashu.

At this moment, what Zhao An thought was that he must not press down on Ji Jiashu's hand, so he immediately stretched out his hands to support Ji Jiashu's sides, trying to avoid body collision.

Fortunately, Zhao An has been exercising the strength of his arms, so he supported his body.

However, the two looked at each other at this moment, breathing on each other's cheeks.Zhao An had never had such a close eye contact with others before, so he was a little stunned.

Ji Jiashu's originally gloomy eyes turned into a smile because of his posture with Zhao An.

Zhao An said angrily: "Stop playing, leave the matter of going to the capital to me."

"really?"

Ji Jiashu, who had already given up hope for the final, his eyes lit up the moment he heard Zhao An's promise.

Zhao An seemed to be able to see the black and white piano keys in Ji Jiashu's pupils, and nodded involuntarily.

"An'an, thank you."

Although I don't know what solution Zhao An has, but as long as it is what Zhao An said, it can be done.

Ji Jiashu trusted Zhao An so much, the excited Ji Jiashu directly embraced Zhao An with both hands, and then pulled Zhao An to the sofa, twisted into a ball with Zhao An, and started playing.

Such jokes among boys are all too common.

The moment Ji Jiashu put his hands around Zhao An's waist, the cold hairs on Zhao An's body stood up and he shuddered.

"Stop messing around and watch your hands."

If it was Zhao An in normal times, he could easily reverse his posture by grabbing Ji Jiashu's wrist directly, and press Ji Jiashu on the sofa.

But the game was approaching, Zhao An was very afraid of Ji Jiashu's sprained hands, so he could only let Ji Jiashu do his best on him.

You kid, wait until the game is over, let's see how I deal with you.Zhao Anzai secretly made up his mind.

But after the final is over, who knows if Zhao An still remembers this incident, or if he is reluctant to deal with Ji Jiashu?

Allowing Ji Jiashu to vent his emotions for a while, Zhao Ancai urged Ji Jiashu to go back to the piano to practice.This practice is another whole day.

When Zhao An came home in the evening, Zhao's mother was settling accounts on the tea table.

Recently, the main store has also hired special cooking chefs and salespersons. What Zhao's mother needs to do every day is to inspect each chain store to see if there are any behaviors of cutting corners and filling up.

"Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you!"

Zhao An came directly to his mother's side.

Although he was asked to take Ji Jiashu to the capital alone, he was confident that there would be no accidents.But the parents of both parties would never agree, and Zhao's father was busy supplying food in the Lower East Village recently, so Zhao An could only focus on Zhao's mother.

Fortunately, Zhao's mother has been very leisurely recently, so leisurely that she complained about being bored more than once.

"What's the matter, son."

"Mom, can you take Ji Jiashu and me to the capital next month? I want to see P University and T University, and think about which school to study in the future. Ji Jiashu is going to the capital to participate in a competition."

Zhao An touched his aching conscience and thought: I really didn't lie to my mother.

"Okay!"

Hearing that her son was debating whether to take the P major or the T major, Mother Zhao's face was full of smiles.
