Armor: I can only summon the general

Today, three guests with extraordinary temperament came to the Happy Dumpling Restaurant. They are all champions of the other three regions. Together with Xinan who is a resident of the Dumpling Restaurant, the contestants have gathered before the national competition even started.

Since it was not dinner time and there were not many people in the restaurant, Aunt Hui cooked herself to entertain the distinguished guests who had come from afar.

Soon the dumplings were brought up by Minci. Among the four people at the table, Xinnan grew up in a dumpling restaurant and was no longer surprised by it. Yang Jun had also been here once and had seen the characteristics of the Xingfu Dumpling Restaurant.

Only Zhang Lu and Wang Yin were seeing such unique dumplings for the first time, and they were both very surprised.

"Oh my god, are these dumplings from the north? I've eaten all kinds of dumplings in the south, but this is the first time I've seen such big ones."

As a southerner, Zhang Lu really broadened his horizons. Wang Yin on the other side was no less interested and also showed great interest in this special dish of dumplings.

"You have come from afar, and as the host, I don't have much to offer. I will treat you with our specialty dumplings. Please enjoy. Dumplings will not taste good if they are cold."

At Xinnan's invitation, Zhang Lu immediately picked up the dumpling and took a bite. After chewing it for a few times, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

"Wow, this is the first time I've eaten such special dumplings. I don't know how to describe how delicious it is."

Seeing Zhang Lu's expression, Wang Yin curled her lips immediately.

"Oh, is it that exaggerated? You better be careful and don't bite your tongue."

After saying that, Wang Yin picked up the dumpling and took a bite. Instantly, a unique fragrance spread on her taste buds. Although she was still a little uncomfortable with the local taste of City D, it was still a different kind of beauty.

Compared to the other two, Yang Jun behaved very calmly. He savored the happy dumplings in front of him bite by bite.

Ever since he had a quick taste last time, he often thought about it and looked for substitutes elsewhere. But after several attempts, Yang Jun realized that it was a delicacy unique to the Happy Dumpling Restaurant and could no longer be eaten outside of City D.

Therefore, Yang Jun came to see Xinan specially today, on the one hand to see his old friend, and on the other hand to taste these unforgettable happy dumplings again.

Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, Xinnan felt very happy and just watched them quietly enjoy the food.

After a while, the three had finished their dumplings. Yang Jun, who was always restrained, still felt a little reluctant to leave, and the same was true for Wang Yin and Zhang Lu.

Aunt Hui just happened to come out with the cooked dishes and placed her three best dishes on the table.

Looking at the dishes on the table, the three of them suddenly felt hungry. They quickly thanked Aunt Hui, then picked up their chopsticks and continued eating.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Aunt Hui brought Minci to take away the plates and poured them a cup of special barley tea.

Zhang Lu picked up the cup and took a sip. The aroma of the grains filled his mouth. A warm current flowed down his throat, passed through his esophagus and finally entered his stomach. He immediately opened his mouth and exhaled a long breath, feeling extremely comfortable.

"I'm so full. I was quite worried on the plane. What if I can't get used to the food here? If the food is not good, I won't be in good shape for the competition.

I was surprised that the first meal after getting off the plane was so good. I think we should suggest to the organizing committee that you be designated as the exclusive catering supplier so that everyone can experience your delicious food. "

Zhang Lu said this half-jokingly. This time, Wang Yin did not embarrass Zhang Lu. She just squinted her eyes and savored the beauty of what had just happened.

The others smiled as well. Although the suggestion was a joke, the delicious food was undeniable.

Yang Jun touched his stomach gently. His previous restraint was easily defeated by the delicious food. Today's appetite was indeed a bit exaggerated. I hope I won't have stomach upset tomorrow.

Suddenly, Zhang Lu on the opposite side put away his usual playful smile and replaced it with a serious expression.

"Everyone, delicious food would be even more perfect if it were paired with music. I'm in great shape now, how about we have a sparring match before the game?"

"Okay, that's what I was thinking. How about we make it more formal and draw lots, like a competition?"

Wang Yin agreed and suggested, pulling out a pen from his pocket.

"I'm fine with either, but you should ask Xinnan's opinion first."

Yang Jun glanced at Xinnan, wanting to see what the host thought, after all, the zither belonged to him.

Xinnan naturally would not be stingy with his piano, and he smiled and nodded slightly.

"Since everyone is so interested, then come on. My piano may not be as good as yours, so please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lu immediately retorted: "I don't agree with what you said. No matter how good a piano is, it won't make a sound by itself. The quality of the piano doesn't mean anything. It still depends on who is playing it."

"I think what Zhang Lu said makes sense."

Wang Yin also echoed, “Just like Cai Yong and the Jiaowei Qin in the Han Dynasty, without Cai Bojie, the Jiaowei Qin would be nothing more than a bundle of firewood. How could it be recorded in history?

Besides, if you win the first prize tomorrow, how will I face the new piano at home? What's the difference between me and those people I look down on?"

As Wang Yin spoke, he pulled out four pieces of toilet paper, wrote serial numbers on them with a pen, then crumpled them into balls one by one and put them in his hand to shuffle the order. A simple and scientific lottery system was ready.

Four paper balls appeared on the table. Yang Jun took one first, opened it and saw a "3" written on it.

"Oh, Yang Jun is the finale." Wang Yin said exaggeratedly, "Let's see if I will be the finale."

When I unfolded it, I saw there was only one bar on it.

"Hey~ I'm first."

Wang Yin didn't waste any time. He stood up and walked towards the piano, pulled out the piano stool, found a comfortable position to sit down, raised his hand and gently stroked the piano, then began his performance.

The song he chose was "Memory", an interlude in the musical "Cats".

The original song can be said to be the most stunning part of the whole show. When played by Wang Yin at this time, it also makes people feel bright. The notes reveal a sense of melancholy, which is very moving.

Zhang Lu and Xin Nan beside him both showed appreciation, and Yang Jun also nodded slightly. Although it was an excerpt from a musical, it also reflected Wang Yin's level.

After the song was over, Wang Yin stood up and bowed slightly to Xinnan and the others, then returned to his seat and was replaced by Zhang Lu, who drew number "2".

Zhang Lu came to the piano and played the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, "Pathetique" according to his own ideas.

The cheerful music swept away the previous worries. A series of notes leaped out from the fingertips and flew into the hearts of several listeners, stirring up everyone's emotions.
