Chapter 155
Last night, before returning to the dormitory with a lot of things, Olivia inadvertently asked Mugan if she wanted to consider living with him:
His dormitory doesn't cost money ( ̄▽ ̄) The dormitory has a yard to grow vegetables (satisfies Mugen's hobbies) There is a washing machine and a kitchen (it doesn't matter if you can't do laundry). It only takes twenty-five minutes to walk to Canteen No. 3 (at the speed of running all the way) Big Kou misses him very much (Big Kou: Moo~).
The advantages mentioned casually were directly in line with the direction of Mugan's thinking about the problem. Mugan thought for a long time, but finally shook his head and rejected this very attractive proposal:
As an intern who needs to be on call, it is better to live in a designated place. When he gets off work, his senior specially asked him to book the alarm in advance and get up at 5 o'clock to go out!
Moreover, the staff dormitory of Canteen No. 3 is not expensive, and the garden outside the canteen is now under his care. He lives behind the canteen and can arrive at the workplace as soon as possible. He will take time to visit the big corner in Oly's dormitory.
Olivia could only express understanding and then left early in thought so that Mugan could go to bed early.
Sure enough, at five o'clock the next morning, Mugen's bedroom door was beaten. Fortunately, he got up early and sorted it out briefly. Mugen went out with several seniors.
They are going to "get the food".
The ingredients for all teachers and students of the college to eat for a whole day are transported to the side door in the southwest by designated suppliers of the college. The door is only open once a day, which is the delivery time in the morning. Therefore, the chefs must get up early every morning and get the purchase before the students get up.
The person in charge of leading the team this time is Tallinn, and he is the fourth largest chef under the chef. It was his turn to be on duty today, and the procurement task in the morning was handed over to him. The menu was pre-determined by the chef before getting off work yesterday, fully considering the students' balanced nutrition and the cuisine that the chefs in the cafeteria are good at.
"Today's menu is: Kobe Beast Meat Stewed Floral Green Vegetables, Roasted Kara Fish with Fragrance, Braised Dudu Fruit Pig, Green Rice Rice..." Tallin silently recited the menu, and after reading it, he still asked back: "Did you remember?"
"Remember!" The answers from other chefs on duty came from behind, so Tallinn stopped saying a word.
As the side door of the southwest corner was getting closer and closer, there were more and more trailers in other canteens. This was the first time Mugen saw the chefs in other canteens. While driving the car, he looked around curiously.
The chefs in other canteens are all very tall - this is Mugan's most intuitive feeling.
"Intern, you are waiting in the car, and the rest of us will go and purchase the goods." After taking out several large pockets from the storage box under the car, several seniors got out of the car with a look of death.
Not understanding why, Mugen nodded, saying that he would be careful about the car.
He quickly understood what was going on:
Mugen was stunned and witnessed a battle scene where vegetables and meat flew together!
Yes, the battle scene.
Around the ingredients of a whole spaceship, the chefs of the nine canteens started a fierce battle with their pockets! The chefs of each canteen have made the menu for the day in advance, yes, but these are the ingredients, and the ingredients are evenly limited and not evenly distributed. Everyone wants to buy the best ingredients. Only delicious food can attract more teachers and students to go to their places to eat, right?
So, in order to compete for the rare Kara fish, the chefs from Canteen No. 1 and Canteen No. 4 started fighting!
In order to put the best batch of cauliflower in your pocket, Canteen No. 9 and Canteen No. 5 faced each other head-on!
Similar battles abound, and everyone is obviously very accustomed to this kind of scene. While the two sides are fighting, they still don’t forget to put the ingredients in their pockets. Mugen was stunned.
He understood why other chefs who came to buy vegetables in the cafeteria were so tall and mighty: this was to buy (buy) racks (vegetarians)!
However, looking at the chef's figure and his seniors, Mugen suddenly felt a little worried.
Sure enough, not long after the chefs from other canteens came back with the vegetables they bought with pride, the seniors from their own canteen also came back.
"Today's menu is: stewed green cabbage (hey? Where is Kobe Beast?), roasted fruit (what is Kara fish?), braised Pig (wait - don't you still add tutu fruit?), green rice..." Senior Tallin, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, said weakly today's menu again, and this time the menu has been slightly changed.
Mugan was silent: Haven’t you ever grabbed the key ingredients?
No wonder the business of Canteen No. 3 has always been bad. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. I can’t grab good ingredients in the morning. This fundamentally determines that the dishes in Canteen No. 3 are not competitive!
In this case, the chefs in Canteen No. 3 are already very good. Since they can only use the worst ingredients, "the ingredients are not enough, so I can make up for creativity." In terms of using cheap materials, the chefs in Canteen No. 3 have their own tricks:
Can't grab a large and complete green juice dish (← Note: This is a vegetable that needs to be made and sold)? It doesn't matter! Their clever hands can collect the green juice leaves they picked up to form a perfect green juice dish;
What if you can't get all kinds of meats before? Don't panic~ The chefs in the canteen No. 3 have long invented various seasonings and sauces. Using these seasonings and sauces, they can even make the vegetarian dishes taste like various meats!
For example, cabbage is a very vegetarian ingredient, and it is delicious to stew with Kobe meat with a lot of fat. A senior who never gets Kobe meat has invented a kind of sauce. This sauce is made of sauce using the oil of Pigby. The ingredients are obviously the least valuable sauce, but through the secret research, these sauce produces an expensive sauce. Mugen has tasted this dish himself, and the taste can be completely fake and real;
Without Kara fish, a senior found a way to use the scraps of other fish to carefully make a new sauce. If he uses this sauce to roast the sweet fruit, the sweet fruit will become the taste of roasting with the karak. If he sells this sweet fruit on the window, uh... it will give people: the kara fish is sold out, leaving only the visual effect of the sweet fruit.
"It can create the feeling that the Canteen No. 3 or the Kara fish can be obtained, but the students came late and the Kara fish were sold out." - This is the original intention of the invention of this sauce.
At the Imperial Comprehensive Academy, Mugen received the most orthodox cuisine education. Using the best ingredients to make the best taste is the goal that professors are committed to getting them to achieve. Here, Mugen witnessed the ultimate counterfeiting technology of using cheap ingredients to make fake and real ingredients.
I work honestly every day and never complain about being tired. The canteen seniors' attitude towards Mugen has been from being indifferent at the beginning to being willing to talk to him a few words about ancient times. This is an amazing progress:
"When I was in the army, I was once trapped on a deserted star for three years. There was only one kind of tuber vegetable on that planet. Eating vegetarian food every day made the soldiers desperate. Later, I thought: It would be great if I could make the taste of meat. I studied it every day and thought about it every day, and it was really successful in the end." Because I was not married, the Tallinn chef simply lived in the dormitory behind the canteen and lived together every day. He gradually became Mugen's most familiar colleague:
"Don't underestimate the power of food. The first time I gave the soldiers to eat, they all thought we had found a living prey! Morale was greatly boosted, and we tried our best to repair the spaceship and flew back again!"
When talking about his experience in the army, the Tallinn chef had deep nostalgia on his face.
