Chapter 44: Completion of the Canteen
Two days later, the military canteen was officially completed. He Yunchen and Ruan Tang agreed to conduct a test run of the canteen. On the one hand, it was to let Wang Jun and the others get used to the environment of the back kitchen, and on the other hand, it was also to check whether their preparations were sufficient. All soldiers of the military department are open.
Ever since the soldiers knew that the military department was planning to set up a canteen, they have been looking forward to it every day, and even the nutrient solution in their mouths has become more and more tasteless. After all, Ruan Tang is fully responsible for the establishment of the cafeteria. He is not only the youngest four-star chef in the empire, but also a person who has won the crown of movie king. In the eyes of the soldiers, he is like a legendary figure. Whether it was out of curiosity or other reasons, they had watched Ruan Tang's live broadcast, and they knew how delicious the meals he made were, which made them look forward to the cafeteria even more.
For this important day, Ruan Tang got up early, boiled a pot of porridge with vegetables and pork ribs, and after eating, he specially prepared a portion for the He brothers and his apprentices. After sending out the courier from the He brothers, he called the hoverboard and headed for the military headquarters.
The canteen is set up on the third floor of the military headquarters complex. The entire floor is covered by the canteen, with a total area of 4,000 square meters, and it can accommodate up to 100,000 people to eat at the same time. The entire cafeteria has a simple shape, with white as the main color, bright and clean windows, and long tables and round stools are neatly placed inside, which is particularly clean and tidy. More than 100 high-intelligence service robots are on standby in the cafeteria, responsible for tasks such as ordering dishes, collecting dishes, washing dishes, and cleaning, which can minimize the pressure on the back kitchen.
The back kitchen of the cafeteria is even more spacious and bright, with all the kitchen utensils and ten stoves, which is convenient for them to cook at the same time. There are also large pots and stoves specially used for making big pot meals, and the plates used to hold meals are all customized according to what Ruan Tang said. It is similar to the stainless steel plates he used in the university cafeteria in his previous life, but the texture is better. Lightweight and strong, it is also easier to clean. Ruan Tang nodded while observing, he was quite satisfied with the cafeteria.
"Good morning." When Ruan Tang arrived at the back kitchen of the cafeteria, Wang Jun and others were already waiting there without any surprises.
"Good morning, Mr. Ruan!" The six of them saluted him in unison.
"I brought you a porridge with vegetables and pork ribs, come and eat some." Ruan Tang smiled and handed out the crisper in his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Ruan!" After thanking the six people, they swarmed up and began to feast on the crisper.
The pork ribs are made of pork ribs, which are cut into even small pieces. They are first stewed in a soup pot for a full 30 minutes to make the meat on the ribs very soft and tender. The porridge was fragrant and glutinous, so delicious that several people couldn't stop eating it.
When they were almost finished eating, He Yunchen just walked in.
"Brother Chen, good morning!" Ruan Tang smiled slightly towards He Yunchen.
"Morning." Seeing Ruan Tang's smile, He Yunchen couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, "I received the porridge, it's delicious."
"As long as you like it."
"How are your preparation?"
The newly appointed "cooking soldiers" immediately said in unison: "We are ready!"
After these days of teaching, Ruan Tang's apprentices have now learned almost a dozen dishes, and also understand the processing methods of various ingredients and basic cooking programs. Cooking is not a particularly difficult thing, at least it is always the same as cats and tigers. With the current ability and awareness of these people, there is no need for him to watch the follow-up. They can follow along in the live broadcast room. Ruan Tang also taught them how to use a large pot and a large stove. Today's trial run will entertain a thousand people, and the workload cannot be underestimated. Today is not only a test of the operation ability of the cafeteria, but also a test of the coping ability of his apprentices.
"That's fine, then I'll inform them to come over for dinner on time."
"Okay."
After He Yunchen left, Ruan Tang immediately took his six apprentices to get familiar with the layout of the back kitchen and his specially customized large pot and stove.
"Today we are going to cook meals for a thousand people, are you ready?" Ruan Tang looked at his apprentices.
"Ready!" All six answered in unison.
Ruan Tang asked again, "At least two dishes and one soup are going to be made today. Do you have any suitable dishes in your mind?"
Wen Zeyang answered first, "I think the tomato scrambled eggs are very good. It is easy to make and goes well with rice."
"That's good, what else?"
"Green pepper fried shredded pork, this is quick to make, and it's a meat dish, so everyone should like it." Zhao Guangming said.
"For soup, let's make the radish and pork bone soup we just learned yesterday?" Wang Jun added.
Radish Pork Bone Soup is a broth made from pork bones. After the radish is put in, it absorbs the umami flavor of the pork bones and tastes more delicious than meat. It can easily cook hundreds of servings with a 100-liter custom-made large soup pot. soup.
"Okay, then let's start."
The canteen has ordered a large amount of ingredients from the Academy of Sciences, all of which are placed in the large fresh-keeping cabinet in the back kitchen. Ruan Tang commanded the intelligent robot to fetch the ingredients they needed. Intelligent robots will play a big role. They can help wash and cut vegetables, which can greatly save Wang Jun's physical strength and energy.
"Xue Rui and Liu Haitao are in charge of tomato scrambled eggs, Zhao Guangming and Wang Jun are in charge of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, Wen Zeyang and Cui Liang are in charge of radish and pork bone soup." Ruan Tang assigned the tasks according to the difficulty of several dishes, among which Zhao Guangming He and Wang Jun are considered to be the best, and it is most suitable for them to deal with a slightly more complicated stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers. Liu Haitao has also made considerable progress after this period of practice, following Xue Rui, he was able to complete the dish of tomato scrambled eggs very well. Wen Zeyang and Cui Liang are more careful, they have good control over the heat, and the soup tastes better.
"Yes!" Several people immediately started to get busy.
With intelligent robots helping them, they only need to be responsible for the cooking part, which makes them feel a lot easier. At the beginning, they may have been a little bit flustered, but they quickly mastered the rhythm, and the aroma of the food gradually spread in the kitchen.
The special large frying pan is very heavy, but it is not difficult for the genetically modified boron-based people, not to mention that they are well-trained soldiers, and their control of strength is more precise. The first dish is out of the pan.
Ruan Tang commanded the intelligent robot to put the dishes into rectangular fresh-keeping bowls and put them in the cooking window. Dining in the cafeteria is in the form of a buffet. People who come to eat take empty plates and then go to each window to order food. Intelligent robots are the most fair and impartial. When distributing dishes, the portions are all exactly the same, as if they have been accurately calculated.
Everyone can quickly get two dishes, one meal and a bowl of soup, and then find an empty seat in the cafeteria to sit down and eat, which is very convenient.
At exactly 11:00, the morning training ended, and the 1,000 lucky ones who had been selected earlier were liberated from the training ground and rushed towards the newly built canteen.
The first to come running was a tall, thin young soldier with very long legs who ran lightly. Before he entered the door, he could already smell the aroma of the food wafting from the cafeteria. It was completely different from the nutrient solution. The smell of natural ingredients was strong and full, almost causing his mouth to secrete a lot of saliva as soon as it passed through the nasal cavity.
As he ran over, the sensor door at the entrance of the cafeteria also opened in response. He stepped in at once, glanced at it, and immediately strode towards the vegetable picking window.
The intelligent robot reminded with a steady mechanical voice: "First take a plate, and then go to the window to order food. Today, there are two dishes and one soup, just take them in order."
"Okay!" He Plpick up the plate outside the window for picking up vegetables, he stepped forward quickly, and the intelligent robot scooped up a spoonful of tomato scrambled eggs and placed it on the left side of the plate. Then he moved a window to the right, and another intelligent robot filled the right side of the dinner plate with fried shredded pork with green peppers. He continued to move a window to the right, and got two full spoonfuls of rice, filling his dinner plate to the brim. In the last window, he got a bowl of pork bone soup with radish.
Holding the dinner plate and soup bowl, the long-legged soldier randomly found an empty seat and sat down. The cleaned and sterilized chopsticks and spoons were placed in a storage box on the table for the diners to use by themselves.
He picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to taste the tomato scrambled eggs. The color of this dish is very bright, and there is a faint sweet and sour smell, which has already made his mouth water. He took a spoon and put it in his mouth. It was as delicious as he imagined! He swallowed this spoonful of vegetables at once, scooped up a few more spoonfuls, poured all the vegetables on top of the rice, put the vegetables and rice into his mouth together, and ate most of the rice.
After eating the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he extended his chopsticks to another dish. Stir-fried pork shreds with green peppers did not look as bright as the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but because of the meat, the taste was even more fragrant, but the spicy taste was also It is clear. The long-legged soldier licked his lips, a little scared and looking forward to it, and put a chopstick into his mouth.
The first thing his tongue felt was the spicy taste, and it hurt almost instantly, but before he could spit out the dish, the salty aroma of the meat spread in his mouth again. The long-legged soldier couldn't bear to vomit all of a sudden, he opened his mouth vigorously to let in a few waves of fresh air, and then chewed vigorously.
——taste so good!
After biting the ingredients, the water in the food burst out. The green peppers have a touch of sweetness in the spicy, and the shredded pork is more salty, fresh, tender, and full of gravy. The combination of the two complements each other even more. The long-legged soldier suddenly felt flustered again, and his tongue had long gone from the pain, and it was slightly numb, which made him even more hungry.
He wolfed down the meal, and finished the meal in a few mouthfuls, and still felt a little unsatisfied.
After eating these meals, he felt a little thirsty, so he took a sip from the soup bowl, and then his eyes widened in surprise. The soup, which looks clear and lacking in water, has an extremely delicious and rich taste. Even the white radish inside is stewed until soft and crispy. It is full of meat in one bite, even better than eating meat directly. tasty. When he came back to his senses, he had already finished the soup.
While he was eating hard, more soldiers came one after another and entered the cafeteria. After taking their meals, they also found vacant seats and sat down. The aroma of meals and the sound of comrades swallowing were everywhere. People are queuing. The long-legged soldier looked left and right. Everyone was eating very deliciously, and suddenly felt even hungrier. He looked at the empty bowls and plates in front of him, and felt a little like crying.
Although he had finished eating, he was still reluctant to leave, and felt happy after smelling it.
After sitting for a while, he still couldn't hold back the desire in his heart, and ran to the window with the dinner plate.
"C-Can I have another one?"
