Chapter 306: I Won't Do This

The guests moved around, leaving an open space in the middle of the living room. At the same time, the kitchen door opened, and Rose entered the living room wearing a chef's uniform and serving a plate of beef, and found Bai Lu at a glance, and walked directly over: "Try this." ”

This foodie thinks that people's lives are to be enjoyed, and they especially care about eating.

After eating the two dishes made by Bai Lu, he became more and more strict about the selection of Michelin-starred restaurants. Don't say three stars, that's the highest honor, just say one-star and two-star restaurants, he is no longer willing to recommend easily.

The Michelin Red Book is a magazine, and food observers like Ross are actually no different from reporters, who go anonymously and reply anonymously, and then write about their feelings about eating.

Because he ate the dishes made by Bailu last year, from then to now, Ross's work has fallen into a state of madness, looking for restaurants that can match the level of Bailu, but unfortunately to no avail.

In that case, he tried to make the steak that Shiraji had ever cooked. After trying more than 100 times in a row, I finally found a little feeling. If nothing else, if he goes to open a steakhouse, business will definitely be good.

Now, he brought out such a large piece of steak, thinly sliced, dark red in color, from the surface, there is no salt or salt or pepper, but as he walks, occasionally a little light flashes, this is the fresh juice in the meat layer reflecting the light.

Rose was very excited, took the plate in one hand, handed the knife and fork in the other hand to Bai Lu, and then held the plate with both hands: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while." ”

Bai Lu smiled at Ross, calmly cut out a small strip of beef tenderloin, brought it to his mouth, and tasted it slowly. Just such a small piece of meat. He ate for a minute, then swallowed and gave Rose a thumbs up: "You're not a chef, it's a waste of talent." ”

Yang Ling translated this, and Rose was very happy: "It's really so delicious?"

"Really. Bai Lu confirmed.

Rose was even happier, and spoke to Liv and Jennifer, "You guys come and try it too." ”

The three of them haven't had a chance to see each other since the last time they separated, and today is the second time. Hearing Rose speak, Liv stepped forward and took the knife and fork from Bai Lu's hand in a natural way. Cut two small pieces of beef. One piece was put into his mouth, and the other was forked with a fork and given to Jennifer.

Jennifer said thank you and took the fork. Speak to Bai Lu first: "You will blow the trumpet in a while." Is it okay to eat?" Put the beef in your mouth.

Bai Lu replied: "It's okay. "But I only ate one piece, and I went to the bar to ask for a glass of water to clear my mouth, and then walked back.

They were eating. Ryan and Winton returned to the room with the trumpet.

Seeing Winton, Rose was stunned for a moment, handed the plate to Liv, stepped forward, and took the initiative to greet: "Hello." ”

Winton smiled and replied, "You're okay too." ”

Ross said, "I love your songs, and I still have your records at home. ”

"Thank you for your support. Winton's formulaic answer,

Jennifer walked over and gave a brief introduction to the two of them, both of whom were her friends anyway, and then dragged Rose aside: "Ready to see the show." ”

"What show are you going to?" Rose was completely unaware.

Jennifer didn't explain any more, and at this time, Bai Lu took the trumpet from Ryan's hand, walked up to Winton and said, "Xie Lu, thank you for helping me choose the trumpet." ”

"You're welcome, who's going to start first?" asked Winton the black ponies.

The pony is the challenger, so he naturally starts with him, leaning over the audience in front of him and then blowing the trumpet.

He played a well-known song "Amazing Grace", and it can be said that as long as you are an American, as long as you are a Christian, there is no one who does not know this song. It is a blessing song, a hymn to Christ, which has been interpreted in various ways by many musicians, many singers.

You and I must have heard that there is this episode in many movies, such as "Conan", and for example, there is a movie with this name, and the theme song is of course "Amazing Grace".

The pony plays steadily, the first scale is a little lower, and the first measure is played slowly and steadily. But a moment later, when the second measure was finished, a high-pitched tail note resounded in the room, ringing in everyone's ears and in each other's hearts.

To be fair, the pony plays very well, and after the song enters the chorus, the voice gets higher and higher, and the performance becomes more and more exciting. Blowing double and triple notes in a row, and improvising them make the music more varied and expressive.

After the most eloquent blows out a super long note, high-pitched and long, it ends perfectly, and interprets this blessing song just right.

After his hearty performance, the applause was thunderous, and the guests were very applauded, much more than when listening to "Little Bird".

"Little Bird" is a Chinese song that the guests are not familiar with, although it is played well, but it has no resonance. At this point, Fuge takes advantage of a lot. In addition, the pony is a live performance, which directly drives everyone's emotions and the response is fierce. When his performance ended, even Bai Lu applauded, and it was indeed a good blow.

However, the applause only lasted five seconds, and at the sixth second, Winton, who had just finished clapping and was smiling, picked up the trumpet, began with a high note, and suppressed the applause.

The sound of the trumpet lasted for a long time, and the applause became thinner and thinner, and when the applause completely subsided, in the sound of the trumpet, Winton smiled at everyone, took a breath of relief, and opened with a long legato, as if he did not need to breathe, and jumped out one after another without pause, and after blowing a long tune, the sound was slightly closed, and the whole song began to be performed.

Since it is a competition, whatever song the pony plays, he will play.

Because he is too familiar with this song, it is like Bai Lu is very familiar with little birds, and he can play whatever he wants. So, his playing is a little more spontaneous, more free, and there are more improvisations.

He and Pony play jazz, and to be exact, both of them are jazz brass players.

Jazz originated in Africa and developed a unique musical style in the United States. Mainly played by blacks, mainly brass instruments, mostly in the form of bands. Because of its strong mobility, pianos are inconvenient to carry, and the main instruments are brass, guitars, drums, etc.

There are many genres of jazz, just as there are many types of rock, and one of them is free jazz, which is basically improvisation. The piano plays a few chords, sets the key, and the trumpeters have to show their abilities to complete the rest of the music. This style is best suited for fighting.

Now, Winton is following the tone set by the pony and the selected repertoire, using more solid basic skills and more gorgeous techniques to make a more exquisite performance.

At the beginning, the long note, which seems to be breathless, is played using the cyclic breathing method, and the horn sound is kept continuous. It is followed by a long legato with the method of three tones, blowing nine consecutive tones, and the sound is high-pitched.

Although it is the same blessing song and the same tune, it is more expressive when he blows it.

Everyone is familiar with this song, and it resonates no matter how you blow it. At this time, it is a live performance, and the resonance is already there, and the more expressive it means that it is more dominant. So, after he finished playing the song, the applause was much louder than Fang Cai, and the people were even more excited. In particular, Winton's ending is even more amazing, with a shocking finish that continues to improve the tune of the piece.

There is a difference between trumpets and trumpets, the common ones are B-flat trumpets, and the others are C flats, etc. The song "Amazing Grace" is in F flat key.

Winton and Pony play the same Trumpet in B-flat flat, and at the end of the piece, they first send the piece to the last phrase with a continuous articulation, and then repeat the phrase, raising the tone again and again, raising the key five times in a row, before finishing at the end of the piece.

Trumpets have a vocal limit, and those outside of the range of the trumpet are called overblowing. Winton has been overblowing since the last time, and once he has blown the last time, his whole body is exerted, and his face is red, and almost everyone thinks that he is going to break the sound. But it's not broken in the end, take a quick breath, gently turn around, and end with a very beautiful and mellow tail.

This guy played so well that Bai Lu followed everyone and clapped loudly, trying to praise Winton.

The applause lasted for more than half a minute, and Winton smiled and bowed to everyone, then looked at Bai Lu, meaning that it was your turn to start.

But Bai Lu still applauded, as if there was no one to do.

Yang Ling waited for a while, and when he saw that the bald head was still applauding, he walked to the field and whispered: "It's your turn." ”

Bai Lu applauded and replied: "I don't know this song." The expression is called a calm.

Yang Ling almost didn't have a mouthful of blood spurting out, the first two performers performed so wonderfully, it's your turn, everyone is looking forward to a more exciting performance, don't you say? Yang Ling really didn't know how to explain it to everyone, so he walked back to Jennifer and said, "He doesn't know this song." ”

Jennifer and Liv stood together, and when they heard this, they immediately forgot to applaud and looked at Bai Lu like they were stupid.

There are many ways to drop the chain, and Bai Lu chooses the most cowhide and exaggerated way, and even Ross is shocked.

Originally, Rose saw White Road standing in the center of the field with a trumpet, and asked Jennifer, "White Road will have a trumpet?" Jennifer replied, "Not only will, but it will play quite well." "But he's just such a pretty good method?

At this time, fifty or sixty people in the living room were watching Bailu, waiting for the performance. Winton and Pony are also waiting, but Winton just smiles and doesn't speak, but Pony can't help it, he wants to compare to White Road, not Winton, it doesn't matter if he loses to Winton, if he can win White Road, he makes a gesture of please to White Road, and says please.

Bai Lu said in Chinese: "I can't. ”

Seeing that the bald head said so indifferently, and he was completely unscrupulous, Yang Ling really wanted to ask him, can you be more shameless?

Everyone is of the yellow race, Yang Ling feels that his face is red, and he is embarrassed to speak, but you are a dead bald head, how can you be the same as a person who has nothing to do?

Jennifer said to Yang Ling, "Let him blow something else." ”

Yang Ling hurriedly translated.

Bai Lu was very happy when he heard this: "Can you blow anything?"

"Anything. Jennifer said.

So, in everyone's expectation, this guy picked up the trumpet and played the "March of the Volunteers" seriously without any flowers, that's right, it is the national anthem. This guy is in the land of the old United States, and in the face of the challenge of two large and small trumpet players, he actually played the national anthem meticulously. (To be continued......)
