Fifteen hours ago, in a hotel in Lyon, France, Su Ruotong tiredly walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
Even as strong as she was, after being on a plane for so long and suffering from jet lag, she was almost unable to bear it.
The competition actually started nearly two weeks later, but at the suggestion of Tao Xian, who has rich travel experience, their team set off early.
Su Changqing was very reluctant at first.
After all, there were so many of them.
The cost of daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation abroad was nothing, but it was inconvenient.
What if something happened to someone in a foreign country, the risk was too great.
But now, Su Changqing must have felt why he needed to come early.
More than half of them are old-fashioned people who rarely move around.
They suddenly came to a place so different from Chinese culture.
They didn't give them an adaptation period.
Even if you play a game, your level will be severely compromised.
The simultaneous interpreter they invited had not yet arrived, so Charlie temporarily took on the role of translator.
After everyone had finished repairing, he took everyone downstairs to eat together.
Su Ruotong changed her clothes and went out, but everyone downstairs hadn't arrived yet.
There are suddenly so many Chinese faces in the hotel, which is quite eye-catching.
Su Changqing held the excited Chu Yuhu on her arm.
One of them was in a suit and leather shoes, and the other was wearing a light blue dress.
They looked like they were attending a cocktail party.
Su Ruotong blinked, not knowing what they wanted to do.
It was too much to walk on the street like this.
Swagger.
After a while, Bao Ruwen and the others came down one after another, each dressed as formally as possible.
Li Hongxing was fine, wearing a well-tailored suit, which didn't look like much, but Bao Ruwen himself had a very philistine temperament.
She also had a big belly like a pregnant woman, a short neck, short legs, and a short chin.
She was wearing a suit and was timid, her collar was in a mess, and her trouser legs were hanging to the ground.
It was simply miserable.
After everyone arrived, there were almost two distinct groups.
One group was led by Su Ruotong, Charlie, and Li Weining, who were dressed in casual and ordinary styles.
On the other side, there were Chu Yuhu, Su Changqing, and others who were dressed as if they were going to attend a municipal meeting.
Bao Ruwen, Li Hongxing.
As soon as Bao Ruwen saw how Su Ruotong and Li Weining were dressed, he became angry.
He had already said that he would not wear suits, but the boss and his wife and children at home went crazy because it was so important to attend.
For the competition, he must wear formal attire.
All the clothes he was given were formal attire, and there were more than a dozen ties for him to wear.
And these trousers, when he was in the store, they were made to order.
Why could he pull them up when he was in the store, and the trouser legs were just right, but when he put them on himself here, his stomach couldn't stretch, and the trouser legs were hanging to the floor.
He really missed his old man's sweatshirt, big pants, and sandals.
Full of resentment, Bao Ruwen walked out with everyone.
Be as slovenly as possible.
You can't run naked.
Who knows, after walking only a few steps, there was a click, followed by Bao Ruwen's voice.
A roar with a strong Zhonghai accent came out: "I'm going to fuck your mother."
It was actually his pants that were split.
Don't move forward now, everyone.

It's not easy to let Bao Ruwen go shopping with her butt exposed.
There happened to be a clothing store in front of us, so we all moved in together.
This is a global chain of fast-selling style stores.
It is actually aimed at young people.
The clothing style inside is relatively young.
The weather in France is not particularly hot now, but most people on the streets are wearing short-sleeves.
The store sells They are all summer clothes.
Bao Ruwen didn't want to go in, but his pants were torn.
What should he do?
After entering the store, his eyes lit up and he ran to a row of shelves.
Haha, the whole row above was full of vests.
There was another whole shelf next to them, all of them.
It’s colorful big pants, he finally found his favorite Full of resentment, Bao Ruwen bought a dozen oversized baggy hipster-style sleeveless T-shirts, printed beach shorts, and several pairs of slippers without even looking at the price.
Money is not a problem.
He Bao Ruwen is not short of money.
The key is to be comfortable.
If he wears those sexy suits again these days, he will take the last name of the girls in his family.
After changing into clothes in the store, Bao Ruwen continued on the road proudly.
In his own eyes, these clothes were no different from the old man's vest and large breeches he was used to wearing at home, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were different.
The vest is the plainest color in the store, it is snow-white, but the style is very new.
The beach shorts are printed on them and are also made with the designer's hard work.
There are also slippers in the store with a different style.
Plus, Bao Ruwen shaves all year round.
With his clean bald head and Bao Ruwen's carefree, "I am the best in the world" aura, this old man seems to be very fashionable, and he has a high rate of turning heads when walking on the road.
After finally arriving at the restaurant, everyone ordered the local specialty deui, shrimp and peas, rose sausage, and cheese on Charlie's recommendation.
Bao Ruwen dressed comfortably and ate happily.
Although these dishes were not to his taste, he still finished eating and wiped his mouth.
Bao Ruwen leaned back on the chair and said to Charlie carelessly: "It's not that good either. , I haven’t checked that your cooking is delicious.”
This restaurant is very famous in the entire Lyon area, and the chef is also a local celebrity chef.
It is one of the best in the entire France.
A few years ago, Charlie didn't dare to think that he would still be able to compete with this person.
Suddenly he got it.
I felt embarrassed to receive such a compliment.
He said humbly: "The chef here was my role model when I was studying in the culinary school.
Every place has its own flavor.
If you taste it slowly, you can taste the difference."
"Okay, anyway, I think our Chinese food is more to my liking.
Now I just want to have a bowl of boiled soft ramen, with braised beef marinated in it, and two blanched lettuces thrown in.
It's comfortable."
Bao Ru Wen said.
The dumplings that got on the bus and the noodles that got off the bus, his words made all the Chinese people at the table miss them.
Originally, the portions of foreign meals were not too large, but after two bites, half of them were not full.
"Forget it, let's order some more dishes and fill our stomachs first.
Even if you go to a Chinese restaurant here, you can't get authentic pasta."
Su Changqing said with a laugh.

Since we were not full, of course we had to add more food, and the waiter was called over immediately.
Before the food was ordered, the back kitchen door opened and a chef wearing a high hat came out.
He heard that a group of Chinese people were coming for dinner, so he came out to meet them.
This was also their boss's request.
Over the years, Chinese people have become more and more common overseas.
You can see Chinese tourists everywhere.
As long as you entertain them well and get a good reputation, you will soon attract a large number of Chinese tourists who come here to visit them.
Because their opponents focus on Chinese tourists, their business has become much better than theirs.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
The chef personally handed over the menu and stepped forward to talk to a few people.
At this time, Charlie's eyes flashed with joy and he stood up: "You are Jill.
Oh my God, you are really Jill.
I am Charlie.
Let me count, how many years have we not seen each other."
The chef also looked at Charlie, his mouth wide open in surprise.
The two of them were classmates when they were studying in the cooking school.
Since Charlie came to China to work, they have basically lost contact.
But back then, the two of them were really good brothers, and because of the same outstanding talents, they always Is it a fight for first place, or a good pair of rivals.
"Charlie heard that you went to China."
Jill looked at the other Chinese people waiting on the table and smiled: "Oh, look at what I said, of course you went to China.
How have you been these years?"
"Fortunately, I came here this time to participate in the Global Culinary Competition, which happens to be held here this year.
These are my colleagues and my boss."
Charlie introduced.
Charlie's words made Jill stand in awe: "You actually received an invitation to the competition.
It seems that your cooking skills have improved very well over the years.
Our restaurant has a history of more than two hundred years, and there are only less than ten people in total.
The chef participated in this competition, but I am not eligible to participate.”
"I was just lucky and met a very good teacher in China."
Charlie smiled and said: "By the way, Jill, I have a grudge.
We colleagues from China are not used to French food.
Can you borrow the kitchen and let us cook some Chinese food in the back?
Don’t worry, we will pay double.”
Jill laughed: "Of course, don't mention the money thing anymore.
I have worked in this store for twelve years.
I got the shares of the store two years ago and am already one of the shareholders.
Just treat it as a shareholder.
I'll entertain you, a friend I haven't seen for many years, but I also have a gracious request.
Since you are here to participate in the competition, you must be very good at cooking.
Can I also try the food you make?
" Jill's words seemed to bring Charlie back to when he was in the cooking school.
He and Jill had always been in a competitive relationship, but it was a very good competitive relationship.
As long as the other party made something that everyone praised, the other person would Be sure to taste it, then make a copy or even make a more perfect one.
He understood that Jill's desire to win had been mobilized.
Thinking about it, many years ago, his old rival had received an invitation to the Global Culinary Competition, but he had not received it.

He wanted to understand the gap between the two of them anyway.
"No problem.
It's just that this time, I'm afraid you can't copy a perfect meal like you did in school."
Charlie said.
He is still full of confidence in his colleagues.
Charlie and Jill babbled French for a long time, and everyone was confused.
Even Su Ruotong, who was the best in French, didn't understand what he meant, because they spoke too fast after they met, and they couldn't understand French as usual.
It's not a speaking speed at all.
Finally, Charlie looked at everyone and announced proudly: "This is my old friend Gil.
He is a shareholder of this restaurant.
He is willing to let us borrow the back kitchen to make beef noodles, but the prerequisite is that we also have to give him He keeps a copy."
"What's so difficult about this?
Just cook one more bite."
Bao Ruwen stood up.
Today's new clothes made him feel very good.
This foreign old man's sweatshirt was very comfortable to wear.
After a while, he felt that the fabric was good.
He wanted to buy a few more pieces before going back: "I'll do it, you just wait, it will take half an hour, it will be done."
"I'll eat with you in fifteen minutes."
Su Ruotong stood up and said
