Chapter 2 Non-Aggression Pact

"Wait, what did you just say? Are you here to participate in the Chopin International Piano Competition? The Chopin International Piano Competition that I know?"

Mr. Brotz dropped his spoon, slammed the table, leaned forward, and stared at Fu Diao, his eyes almost falling out of surprise, and he was no longer as calm as before.

"That grand piano event that happens once every five years and where the world's strongest pianists come, the Chopin International Piano Competition?"

"Well, if there is no other identical game, it should be?"

Fu Diao didn't expect Broz to be so excited, so he could only nod his head honestly and said casually: "I seem to have won a championship in other competitions before. When I apply for the Chopin International Piano Competition, I don't need to submit a letter of recommendation. I will just

Come directly and sign up.”

At least that's how I remember it.

Fu Tiao added in his heart.

"Ah, ah this, ah..."

Brotz sat back in his seat and rubbed his clothes nervously with his hands, not knowing where to put them.

He really didn't expect that he could attract such people to live in a very remote and cheap B&B.

After that, he seemed to know Fu Diao's concerns, tilted his head slightly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "You don't have to worry about money. It's free to eat with me. If you are really grateful, then there is

Can you play the piano for me more often when you are free?"

"Nie Ma za co" Brotz waved his hand, stood up and put away the tableware. After a while, he suddenly turned his back to Fu Diao and said: "By the way, if you are okay, you can always eat with me from now on. Anyway, I

Even if you are alone, you will be bored, you will burn a lot, and you will be wasted, and you will not be short of one more person."

Street stations, bus stops, and roadside advertisements will all be replaced with Xiao Sai's information. Even if you sit on a chair on the roadside, the chair will automatically make piano sounds.

"Ah ha..." Fu Diao blinked and said hesitantly: "Thank you?"

"Also, how about we make a bet?"

Broz turned around and continued to clean up the kitchen. Fu Diao hesitated for a moment and wanted to step forward to help, but Broz rushed him upstairs and asked him to have a good rest.

The room gradually became quiet, and Fu Tiao did not tell him what he was thinking. There was no more conversation until the two of them finished dinner.

"Okay, thank you."

He seemed to be afraid that Fu Tiao would not agree, so he immediately continued.

White bread with some old godfather brought from China is not nutritious, but it is delicious!

The consequence of being too stingy is that Fu Tiao really doesn't have much money to give to Brotz. Even if today's dinner only costs 20 zlotys, he is a little hesitant to take action.

"How about it? Think about it?."

He forgot that the original owner seemed a bit stingy. When he came from China, he calculated the minimum consumption directly, and he seemed to have only one hundred zlots left to use for emergencies.

"You're welcome! Everyone gets what they want."

Fu Diao was stunned. He didn't expect that Mr. Brotz would actually say that. He couldn't help but be a little curious: "What are you betting on?"

"It just so happens that the preliminaries of the Chopin International Piano Competition are just three days away. Old man, I don't have any other hobbies. I just like listening to classical music. Just play whatever you like."

Unless you reach the second round, you will receive accommodation and a piano room arranged by the organizing committee until you are eliminated.

An emergency response of one hundred zlotys is already very bold. How about eighty zlotys or even sixty zlotys?

Isn't this just waiting to die?

Broz didn't seem to notice Fu Diao's embarrassment. He raised his head and glanced at him. He shook his head indifferently and smiled: "No, it's okay. I'm treating you to this meal. I haven't eaten with others for a long time."

, I didn’t expect that it would be my first time to have dinner with the contestants of the Chopin International Piano Competition. This is an honor for me!”

That's pretty much what it feels like.

This is like having a rental house in Tong County that costs more than ten yuan a night. Normally there is no one there, but during the Beijing Olympics, an Olympic athlete moved in?

"If you don't pass, you don't pass. It doesn't matter. It's just that you can't get the 3,000 zlotys."

After washing all the tableware and throwing it into the dishwasher, Broz turned around and leaned against the stove, spreading his hands to Fu Tiao: "After all, my first guest here is a contestant in the Chopin International Piano Competition! I dare you

Apart from me, there will never be another B&B that has this opportunity!!”

"bet?"

Wait? Piano room?

Broz suddenly remembered that when he brought Fu Tiao into the room, he was obviously very interested in the old piano in the room, and he couldn't help but feel a little dry for a moment.

Whether intentionally or not, he forgot the electric oven in the house.

The popularity of the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw is almost similar to this. Every time the Chopin Competition is held, the entire city will be re-dressed to look like the Chopin International Piano Competition.

Fu Tiao hadn't practiced the piano for a long time and was a bit inexperienced, so he started practicing from the most basic basic skills and continued playing until late at night.

"Is that so..." Broz was stunned, lowering his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

But soon, his fingers touched his empty pocket, and he nodded immediately.

Fu Tiao was stunned and said hesitantly: "So... what if I don't pass? Do I need to pay anything?"

Fu Diao touched his pocket, his smile gradually becoming stiff.

"And if you can get higher results, such as winning the championship, my B&B can even be called a championship B&B! The money I can earn is more than this 3,000 zlotys!"

After Fu Diao stuffed the last mouthful of Russell soup into his mouth along with the bread on the side, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

The round-trip air tickets were booked in advance, and a bed and breakfast room where I could play the piano was purchased a month in advance. On my first day in Warsaw, I even bought a lot of bread and stuffed it in the room to prevent myself from starving to death.

"Um...I, is the piano in my house okay? Are you satisfied with it?"

Broz just stayed there and listened quietly. When Fu stopped playing, he immediately got up and left.

Instead of practicing Chopin's works, I just played according to my own temperament. From time to time, I would look at Broz next to me, thinking about his ideas, and then use the piano to interpret his ideas through music.

.

In the evening, Broz carried a huge electric oven into the house, plugged it in, and lay on a recliner in the house, gesturing for Fu to play the piano.

"If you can pass the preliminaries, how about I refund all your rent to you? Not only will I refund it to you, but I will also give you the whole amount, directly giving you 3,000 zlotys (about 6,000rmb)! How about that?

?”

"Mr. Brotz, how much is this dinner..."

"I……"

"It's not bad, I think I can still play." Fu smiled, stirred the Russell soup in his hand with a spoon, tore a piece of bread from the side, and took a sip of the soup: "It's just because I was frozen, and I was lying in bed with a cold and fever.

For a long time, everything else was fine."

Fu Tiao was stunned. He didn't know what to say for a while, and he hesitated for a while.

It was like this for several days in a row.

The only difference between the two is that the Olympic Games organizing committee will arrange accommodation for them, but the Chopin International Piano Competition will not arrange accommodation specifically.

…

A few days later, while Fu Tiao was playing the piano, his cell phone suddenly rang, and an email was sent to his cell phone through the wireless network in the house.

"Dear Mr. Fu Tiao, hello, your round of qualifying for this Chopin International Piano Competition is: Day 3, first half, second place, time is 10:30, please arrive no later than 9:30

Sign in separately, the indoor piano room opens at 7:30 a.m., and the practice time is limited to 2 hours, Chopin International Piano Competition Organizing Committee."

Well, although this world view is from 2015, many places have been magically modified. Don’t read it as a chronicle, and don’t read it as a rebirth story (no one would want to read a rebirth in 2015, right? At this time)

It’s too early!), just treat it as an ordinary, slightly vague time. In short, this is a new book for a newbie, so please bear with me!
