After quitting sports, I became a chef

"Xiao Su, you have to think clearly about retirement. I can save this retirement application for you first."

In the office of the coach of the sprint team of the provincial sports team, Zhao Heping held the application for retirement handed to him by Su Bai in his hand.

Su Bai looked at his coach's persuasion, was silent for a few seconds, and looked at Zhao Heping very seriously: "Coach, I have thought it through."

Hearing what Su Bai said, Zhao Heping was stunned for a while, and finally heaved a sigh.

Both of Su Bai’s parents died when he was young, and there were no other relatives in his family. Although he had property left by his parents, he was sent to an orphanage because he was too young to take care of himself. He grew up in the orphanage until After becoming an adult, he took back his family's property from the supervisory agency before leaving the orphanage.

Because of the experience of growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, he has also developed an independent temperament early on, and he always thinks more about many things.

He has actually been thinking about retiring for half a year, and has talked with his coach a few times before. The reason why he chose to retire is also after careful consideration.

At the beginning, when he was 13 years old, he performed outstandingly in the school's physical education class and was selected into the school team of their school. Later, when he participated in the competition in the city, he was shown by the coach Zhao Heping who went to the scene to select seedlings. middle.

After that, he trained with coaches all the way through junior high school and high school, and he has always been a sports student. During the college entrance examination, he also entered a good university in this city by virtue of his achievements in the u20 national competition.

It's just that his coach has really mispaid for his cultivation along the way. So far, his personal pb (best time in personal history) in the 10-meter event is only 88 seconds. It's just barely stepped on the standard line of national first-level athletes.

Since officially starting to participate in the adult competition, he has strictly and conscientiously followed the coach's training plan for training, and has always maintained his own good personal condition during the competition, but these measures and methods are not of much use. His performance seems to have encountered a threshold that cannot be passed, no matter how much he increases the amount of training, it will be difficult to improve.

So far, he can only participate in some municipal and provincial competitions, at most in the national grand prix competitions, compete with players from all over the country who are in a similar state to him, and then watch a few domestic competitions The [-]-meter runner stood on the podium.

So far, the best ranking he has achieved in the country is his 9th national result in this year's grand prix h city sub-station - there are only 8 finalists in the grand prix, and he happens to be unable to enter the final that one.

This kind of thing is too much to worry about, but Su Bai is not so frustrated, he just realizes very rationally that his talent in the [-]-meter sprint event is limited, even in the next two years. The results can enter the explosive period, but to be honest, the standard of being a national athlete is hanging, let alone the standard of an international athlete.

Continue to work on this project. Although I can have a solid job in the sports team for a while, the road ahead is not easy. If I retire in seven or eight years, I will be 30 years old and I will have no achievements. When he retires at that time, it will be much more difficult for him to find a way out than it is now.

Su Bai has no family to help him, if he wants to live a good life, he can only think more for himself over and over again.

Taking advantage of the fact that he has just graduated from university and he is still young, it will be much better to retire at this time than to retire later.

Regarding the matter of retiring, the one I am most sorry for now may be the coach Zhao Heping who is like a master to him.

Zhao Heping held Su Bai's retirement application report and was silent for a long time before finally nodding his head.

As Su Bai's coach, he brought Su Bai up all the way. Su Bai's situation and thoughts, in fact, he had already broken up with him and explained it to pieces. He has no reason to come out today. It's good to stop Su Bai.

"Okay, I'll accept your application report."

Zhao Heping finally formally nodded and agreed to Su Bai's request, without saying anything else.

Su Bai took a serious look at his coach, pursed his lips, and bowed to Zhao Heping: "Master, thank you for these years."

Zhao Heping was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, he glanced at Su Bai from the corner of his eye, and waved to him angrily: "Okay, go, don't get in my eyes here!"

After Su Bai got up, he looked at his coach's uncomfortable face. He was not a character who was good at playing tricks and amusing. He was silent, bowed to his coach again, then turned and left the office.

After he left the coach's office, he looked at the training field of the track and field team not far away, and his teammates who were still training on the training field. He felt a little relaxed, and he felt a sense of anxiety and anticipation for the unknown future.

However, before he could think any more, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"The condition judgment has been triggered, the system is started, and it is preparing for initialization..."

Um?Su Bai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know where the mechanical sound came from, Rao was usually calm and calm, so he was a little confused at the moment.

"The host binding is successful, the host identity is confirmed, the system activation conditions are confirmed, and the system starts successfully."

"Ding, the super idol system has been activated successfully, please explore and use it by the host."

The mechanical system prompts stopped abruptly, leaving Su Bai in a daze - what happened?Are you haunted?Or have aliens invaded his brain?

Su Bai was confused for a while, and finally remembered some novels his teammates had shared with him, in which quite a few protagonists had obtained various 'systems'.

Thinking of this, Su Bai's doubts settled down a bit, but after he saw clearly the translucent interface that appeared in his mind, it can be said that he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Super idol system?"

What does it mean?Should he still be allowed to break into the entertainment industry?

For a tone-deficient patient like him, even if he wants to break into the entertainment industry, it's impossible for them to accept him?

Just when Su Bai felt that his system was useless, a voice full of mechanical sense appeared in his mind again.

"Ding, the host has today's task, please check it."

As the voice fell, a translucent task box appeared in front of Su Bai's eyes.

Today's task: Practice basic knife skills for 1 hour (with basic knife skills tutorial)

mission rewards:? ? ?

Failure penalty: none

……

…………

………………

Looking at today's task, Su Bai's originally indifferent face looked even colder and heartless now.

Su Bai took another look at the 6 big characters [Super Idol System] on the system interface, and then took a look at today's task released by the sand sculpture system, and really wanted to shake this system out to see its system brain Is there water in it?

You are clearly a kitchen sub-system, right?

Looking at this extremely crude system and inexplicable tasks, Su Bai hesitated for a while, and decided to borrow a place in the back kitchen of the canteen of the sports team to try it out.

For no other reason, his parents were actually a young couple who opened a restaurant back then. In his limited childhood memory, he still remembers all kinds of delicious food carefully prepared by his parents. It is a treasure in his memory.

Such childhood memories have made him love cooking, and to be honest, he seems to have a good talent in cooking. Even without this sudden system, he still has a plan to specialize in cooking. Learn cooking skills.

With such an idea in mind, Su Bai found the back kitchen of the sports team after a little thought, and asked the chef who was preparing a nutritious meal to borrow a chopping board and knives, and then fished a white root from the back kitchen. Carrot, then stood in a corner where the chefs in the back kitchen would not interfere with their work, and clicked on his own system interface again.

Before today, Su Bai thought that his original cooking skills were not good, but they were definitely passable, at least cooking a home-cooked meal was not a big problem.

But after he clicked on the "Basic Knife Skills Tutorial" that came with the system, he suddenly realized that he probably didn't know what the word "Basic" meant.

In cooking, knife skills have always been the necessary foundation for cooking.

Even though Su Bai has never studied cooking systematically, he still knows how much "knife skills" plays a role in the Chinese cooking system.

It's just that before Su Bai clicked on the "Basic Knife Skills Tutorial" of the sand sculpture system, he thought that this tutorial was about training in dicing and shredding radishes and cabbage. How to shred Vance tofu?

This kind of task requirement that doesn't pay attention to the basic law at all made Su Bai stunned, but before he could complain, the video he saw on the system interface just now was suddenly poured into his mind. It was as if he was enlightened, but in a flash, it seemed that all the outlines of "basic knife skills" had been poured into his mind.

What was instilled into his mind was not only the shredded technique of "Wensi Tofu", but also the ultimate mastery of the skill of "shredded" in cooking.

It was only at this moment that Su Bai finally realized that this sand sculpture system, which has been extremely crude since it appeared, is indeed a not so ordinary mysterious thing.

When Su Bai tried to shred the radish in his hand according to the technique he had just mastered, even though his body was not proficient in the technique of 'shredding', it was difficult for his brain to keep up, but as he After just one hour of uninterrupted practice, the shredded radish he cut out is already perfect in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Hey, Xiaobai, your sword skills are good, aren't you?"

In the back kitchen, the master chef Sun Xiangdong happened to be busy for a while, and happened to pass by Su Zhe, and when he saw a large basket of shredded radishes that Su Zhe had cut out, he frowned and was a little surprised.

"But there are so many shredded radishes... okay, I have to add fried shredded radishes to the nutritious meals of the big guys today."

When Sun Xiangdong was chattering at the side, Su Bai suddenly realized how much shredded radish he had added to the back kitchen in this hour.

Realizing that he had caused trouble to the kitchen, Su Bai turned around and apologized to Sun Xiangdong.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Sun Xiangdong is a straightforward man from the Northeast. He patted Su Bai's shoulder and didn't feel any trouble with these shredded radishes: "Shredded radishes are also used in our usual nutritious meals." There is nothing to be sorry about the raw materials that are available, but I usually don’t see it, Xiaobai, you are really good at knife skills!”

Su Bai looked at the large basket of shredded radish he had cut out, and thought about the sand sculpture system in his mind. Suddenly, his mind was a little chaotic.

After a brief chat with Sun Xiangdong, he left the back kitchen first. After he returned to the dormitory, the mechanical sound in his head sounded again.

"A total of 1 hour of knife skills has been practiced, the basic cooking skills have been activated, and the skill point 1 is obtained. The skill points will be automatically matched for the first time. Congratulations to the host for activating the basic cooking skills. The current basic cooking skill level: level 1."

"The host has completed today's task, reward skill point*1, congratulations to the host for completing the system task for the first time, reward job opportunity*1."

After this series of voices finished broadcasting, the system became mute again. After pulling out his own system panel, Su Bai looked at the basic cooking skills and 1 free skill point on it, and fell into a meditation.

Is this sand sculpture system really a cook system?

Looking at the 'Super Idol System' on the system interface, Su Bai always feels that this system is not as simple as just training his chef skills, but at this moment, he only got the system for half a day, so he really can't see it. More.

After thinking about it, Su Bai put the matter of the system behind him.

only……

Just now the system said that there is another reward that is a job opportunity?

Just as he thought of this, Su Bai's cell phone rang again, and it was his coach Zhao Heping who called.

"Hi, coach, I'm Su Bai."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Heping's voice was still a bit uncomfortable, but he still said: "Aren't you worried that you will not be able to find a job in the future? I heard just now that the cafeteria is recruiting a chef. Don't you usually like it?" Do you want to make something to eat? Well, tomorrow I will take you there to ask that kid Sun Xiangdong."

Zhao Heping's words made Su Bai startled.

Even though the work of a chef may not sound so high-end, but the canteen masters of the sports team of S Province are staffed by the sports team, and the benefits are good, and some people outside want to get in but can't get in.

Although Su Bai said he has graduated from university, he is a sports-related major after all. If it doesn't matter where he is, if he really wants to find a job outside, he may not be able to find a better job than this one.

Moreover, the meaning in Zhao Heping's words was obviously to say that keeping him by his side would be easy to take care of.

Thinking of this, Su Bai's eyes turned red.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Heping didn't wait for Su Bai's reply, and said again: "You boy, call me back!"

Hearing Zhao Heping's concerned tone, Su Bai smiled: "Well, I see, I will come to you tomorrow."

"Hmph, it's not far off."

After hearing what Zhao Heping told him to go to him tomorrow, Su Bai seriously expressed his understanding and hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone in his hand, and thinking about today's encounter, Su Bai felt a little dazed and looking forward to it—his life might have a different change.
