Second Piano Concerto

Before the meal time, there were not many customers in the rice noodle shop, so Qin Haiou led the two of them to sit at an empty table and introduced them to the rice noodles on the menu.He has been working as a cook in this shop for half a year, and he knows the flavors and characteristics of all kinds of rice noodles like the palm of his hand.

"What do you want to eat?" Finally Qin Haiou asked, "I recommend the signature sauerkraut powder here. It is very delicious, but very spicy! Braised beef powder is also good. You can also add marinated eggs and dried tofu. Cold dishes include cucumber and bamboo shoots. And stewed pork, do you want to drink soda?"

After hearing his introduction, the two felt that his knowledge of the menu was enough to be a waiter in this shop.But then, Qin Haiou did something that surprised them even more.

The two ordered cold bamboo shoots, two bowls of sauerkraut powder and two bottles of soda. Qin Haiou asked them to sit first, and came to the stove by himself.Tan Shuo was filling out a bowl of clear soup powder, when he saw Qin Haiou bringing people to eat, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Qin Haiou told him the dishes the two ordered, and habitually picked up the bowl of clear soup noodles: "What's the number?"

"No. 4." Tan Shuo was already used to this, and he didn't notice anything wrong with the situation before him, so he took out two more rice noodles and put them in the pot.

Qin Haiou brought clear soup powder to table No. 4. It happened that there was a guest at table No. 1 calling for more vinegar, and the guest at table No. 2 had to pay the bill and leave. Qin Haiou found a bottle of vinegar and sent it to table No. 1. Then he came to table No. 2 and glanced at the table: "Two bowls of beef noodles cost 32 yuan, braised pork 8 yuan, cucumber 5 yuan, soda 6 yuan, a total of 51 yuan."

The rice noodle shop is not big, and he was doing the calculations here. Yu Doudou and Chen Ganning, who were sitting across from each other, could hear every word clearly. They looked at each other with uneasy expressions.

How can there be such a thing?It seems that Qin Haiou really works as a waiter in this shop!Moreover, the proficiency in the movements and the quick checkout cannot be achieved overnight. How long has he been working here? !

Qin Haiou not only took the money, but also the bowl from table 2, and brought the cold bamboo shoots and soda to the two of them before sitting down.

Yu Doudou couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately asked, "Seagull, why did you do these things?"

Qin Haiou opened two soda bottles with an opener: "Let me help."

"Help?" Yu Doudou's heart exploded when he heard it. The owner of this rice noodle shop is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. After inquiring about Qin Haiou's identity, he even tricked Qin Haiou into working for him in the shop. unacceptable!It seems that this person has a lot of scheming, but he doesn't know what his purpose is.Yu Doudou glanced at the stove calmly: "Is there not enough staff in this store? Why don't you recruit two more?"

Qin Haiou had never thought about this, guessing that Tan Shuo wanted to save costs, he replied casually, "Maybe he wanted to save money."

Yu Doudou took a sip of the iced soda, but the anger in her heart surged up.Her child was abducted by the bad guys to work as a coolie after only a few months before her eyes, and even counted money for her - fortunately, this ancient town is located in a remote place and was not discovered by the media, otherwise all her busy work was in vain!

This little boss named Tan Shuo is so hateful that he even used Qin Haiou.The more Yu Doudou thought about it, the more angry she became, and it was inconvenient to show it, but Qin Haiou was familiar with her after all. Even though she looked normal, she still vaguely felt that she was not in a good mood, and it seemed to be aimed at Tan Shuo .Qin Haiou thought for a while and explained: "Tan Shuo is a very nice person and takes good care of me, so I'll do something for him."

Yu Doudou followed his words and asked, "How did you know each other?"

"We met when we were eating rice noodles!" Qin Haiou laughed, remembering the scene when he first came to a rice noodle shop, which made him feel very nostalgic. He tapped his fingers on the table, "I came here to eat rice noodles for the first time, This is the table you're sitting at."

The alarm bell rang in Yu Doudou's heart.She has managed all Qin Haiou's performances and the travel and life related to the performances over the years. She has the confidence to ensure Qin Haiou's safety in all aspects that she can control, but there are two things that she cannot control , One is to make friends, and the other is to fall in love.Regarding the latter, Yu Doudou is not worried for now, because Qin Haiou's growth in this area is far behind that of his peers, but when it comes to making friends carelessly, Qin Haiou has already set a precedent.

This precedent is Xiao Cong.

In Yu Doudou's view, Xiao Cong is a person who is very good at disguising.This has never been noticed by Wang Yifu, because Xiao Cong respects his teacher very much. No matter what he thinks in his heart, the fact is that his career cannot be separated from Wang Yifu's support. A student who satisfies the teacher in all aspects.Qin Haiou's family also did not notice this, because most of their contact with Xiao Cong happened in real life, and it was far less frequent than Qin Haiou himself.As Qin Haiou's manager, Yu Doudou not only has the experience and insight of a professional manager, but also has more opportunities to contact Xiao Cong on different occasions than the Qin family. She always stood on Qin Haiou's standpoint and considered everything purely from Qin Haiou's interests. Therefore, after starting to work for Qin Haiou, she soon discovered that Xiao Cong's treatment of Qin Haiou was actually far worse than what he showed. Come out so sincere.

However, even if Yu Doudou found out about this, she could only be on guard secretly, because Xiao Cong had never caused any substantial harm to Qin Haiou, and when she took over the brokerage company, the relationship between Qin Haiou and Xiao Cong's senior brothers It was already a fait accompli, and under such circumstances, it was impossible for Yu Doudou to forcibly interfere with Qin Haiou.She can only pay more attention to matters related to Xiao Cong, but this feeling makes her very uncomfortable, as if there is a landmine buried beside Qin Haiou, not only is it difficult for her to predict whether it will explode and when it will explode, It can't stop Qin Haiou from stepping on it.Yu Doudou only told Qin Haiya this worry, and Qin Haiya's opinion was that as long as Xiao Cong didn't make trouble, there was no need for Qin Haiou to worry about it.

With the precedent of Xiao Cong, Yu Doudou has always maintained a high degree of vigilance against Qin Haiou's circle of friends.Qin Haiou is like a magnet, both in terms of charm and interests. There are too many people approaching him with selfish purposes, but making friends is Qin Haiou's private matter in the final analysis. Although Yu Doudou is vigilant , but also carefully grasp the measure.

Tan Shuo's appearance was so unexpected that Yu Doudou was caught off guard.She didn't know about Tan Shuo's situation yet, but Tan Shuo already knew about Qin Haiou's situation. This kind of inequalities of information made Yu Doudou very uneasy, and she knew it when she saw the bruise on the bridge of Tan Shuo's nose. It was caused by a fight, and I felt that this person was even more suspicious.Therefore, Yu Doudou's first impression of Tan Shuo was extremely bad.

However, although Yu Doudou was angry, he still put this annoying little owner of the rice noodle shop aside for the time being.There are priorities, and the most important thing right now is Qin Haiou's plan for his comeback, which is what Yu Doudou is eager to know.

After eating the rice noodles, the two returned to the inn with Qin Haiou.At this time, they were finally able to calm down and talk about things, and Yu Doudou asked Qin Haiou what requirements he had for the future residence, and whether he already had a suitable place.

Qin Haiou took out a map of the ancient town and showed it to Yu Doudou.He had circled three alternative locations on the map, and marked a shortcut from the inn.These three are old idle houses in the town, which he had learned about when he was helping Tan Shuo to look at the houses, but they were not useful at that time, but when he thought about where to live these two days, he thought it was very suitable.

The old house is not open for rent, so you need some connections in the town to rent it.Qin Haiou asked Brother Long for help and asked him for the contact information of the homeowner.He also gave these names and phone numbers to Yu Doudou, introduced the general situation, and finally said: "When you contact them, say that Brother Long introduced them. Brother Long has already greeted them."

Qin Haiou has never cared about these things, and it is usually not his turn to do such trivial matters in person, but now he not only has an idea, but also prepared the information of the introducer and the owner, Yu Doudou was surprised He also realized that Qin Haiou's decision to stay in Longjin for recovery practice was probably not a whim. Before telling her this decision, he had considered it carefully and put it into action.At this point, Yu Doudou's last doubt was completely dispelled. It seems that Qin Haiou must do this, there is no doubt about it.

"How long do you intend to rent?"

Now that things have to be done, then we will return to the old problem-time.For the final comeback concert, Yu Doudou needs to make a detailed schedule.She doesn't need Qin Haiou to think so concretely, but she needs Qin Haiou to give him at least some rough ideas and plans, because only Qin Haiou knows his own state, and no one can decide the length of the recovery period for him.

Qin Haiou hesitated for a while before saying, "Let's rent for a year first."

Yu Doudou stared at him, frowning slightly: "Seagull, if the time cannot be fixed, it will be difficult to arrange the following things."

She heard Qin Haiou's hesitation, and knew that the "one year" he said didn't mean that he planned to come back in a year, but that he didn't know when he would come back, so he rented the house for a year before talking.

This made Yu Doudou very confused.She felt that behind this incident, Qin Haiou seemed to have a deeper purpose, which was very clear, and his thinking was also very clear, but for some reason, he could not make a judgment on the issue of time, but look at him It doesn't look like he has no confidence in his own state.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?" Seeing Qin Haiou thinking silently, she said again, "We can take this matter slowly, don't force yourself."

"My condition is fine, I just need time to practice." Qin Haiou doesn't know what Yu Doudou is worried about, but he still can't tell Yu Doudou that the time of the concert does not depend on him, but on Yu Tan Shuo.

Tan Shuo has not accepted his commission, even if he accepts, Tan Shuo still needs time to create.Qin Haiou can control his own time, but he cannot estimate the time Tan Shuo needs.The creation time can be long or short, and it is very common to suddenly lose inspiration midway and stop. Even Tan Shuo himself may not be able to say for sure, let alone Tan Shuo has not agreed.Therefore, everything is still unknown until Tan Shuo is persuaded.

"Let me think about it again," Qin Haiou said, "I will tell you about the time arrangement as soon as possible. The house is rented for a year for now, but the possibility of extending the time is not ruled out."

"Understood." Since Qin Haiou said so, of course Yu Doudou can wait for him to think about it slowly.Now that the matter of the house had taken shape, she asked a second question: "Which piano do you want to use?"

Qin Haiou may use 6 pianos in his daily life.Except for the upright piano that he used when he was young to learn piano at his parents' house, the other five are grand pianos made by the world's top piano brands. One is placed in his urban residence, and the other is stored for a long time. In the brokerage company, the other three are placed in his private studio.This studio includes a small concert hall, which has the functions of practice, performance, rehearsal and recording; outside the working area is Qin Haiou's private space, including bedrooms, study rooms, gyms and coffee shops. When Qin Haiou needs to practice piano in retreat Often live here.

Of the three pianos in the studio, two are placed on the stage of the concert hall, which are usually used by Qin Haiou for practice or when he plays with others, and the other one is flawless in sound and appearance, and he sometimes takes it with him Out on tour.These pianos have been specially adjusted according to his preferences and habits, and are regularly maintained and maintained by the tuner. They are the most comfortable pianos for him to play.He played an upright piano worth 3 yuan in Liu'an for half a year. At that time, he was not picky because of his mood. Now when Yu Doudou asked him, he immediately missed his piano.

The two discussed it and decided to bring over a practice piano from the studio.Yu Doudou paid attention to efficiency, and soon visited three old houses, and had contact with all the owners. After a few rounds, one family was ruled out first, and then Qin Haiou went to the other two houses to see the houses in person, and asked According to his opinion, finally finalize a family to negotiate conditions, sign a contract, and go to the relevant department of the ancient town to register and go through the formalities.In less than half a month, everything will be settled.

The rented old house is called "Xiaopengmen". It is not far from Liu'an, surrounded by streams on three sides, the main entrance is a bridge, and the back door is a bamboo art shop with white walls and blue tiles. Quiet.There are enough rooms in the house for the owner to live and entertain guests, as well as a separate kitchen and a storage room.In the small courtyard in front of the main house, there are two old Bailan plants, which are full of flowers at the moment, and people can smell the fragrance outside the courtyard across the stream.

Qin Haiou chose a large and quiet room as the piano room, but before the piano was delivered, the room still needed to be soundproofed.Yu Doudou naturally took this into consideration, and has already found someone to start a simple renovation of the piano room, and plans to add some furniture and daily necessities, and also arranged for the company to send a car over for emergencies.

Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly manner, Qin Haiou felt relieved and began to think about Tan Shuo again.
