The New Year's Eve Party is located on the green grass of Central Park, and many people are busy and excited. This feeling is a bit like that doomsday dinner...
There are no disputes, away from the hustle and bustle, and without a large number of functional robots, people can do it themselves and have enough food and clothing.
The scene was very plain and full of warmth.
Of course, there are not a lot of New Year performances and ceremonies, everything is voluntary, and there are no government speeches or the like. This gives people a feeling of "plainness is real".
People gather together in twos and threes, talking to each other, complaining about each other, or confessing to someone, or pointing out that someone is doing something wrong at work, etc.
People always choose this day to say things they usually dare not say...
Perhaps, this annual New Year party will become the unique culture of the new human civilization...
There is no such culture on earth.
"Actually, the food cooked by us humans tastes pretty good. How can I put it... there is a feeling of the soul of food." Yu Yifeng was eating a plate of pasta. After eating, he wiped the oil with a paper towel.
Mouth.
He was used to eating dishes cooked by functional robots and was a little tired of them. Now he felt that the plate in his hand tasted better.
Yes, food cooked by humans is indeed more delicious.
"You are wrong. The super-intelligent laboratory uses big data to find the optimal method for each dish. Every step of cooking by these robots is accurate to the second, whether it is turning the pot or using the fire.
The controls are all very standard.”
"This standard is that of a five-star chef. What you say is delicious is just a psychological effect."
Yuriko finished the last fries, feeling a little unsatisfied. She said slowly: "If you let the gourmets on the earth judge, without knowing it, they will most likely think that the food cooked by the robot is more delicious."
"Of course, the same dish cooked by the robot will taste the same every time. Of course there is no such thing as food soul..."
Yu Yifeng nodded.
After being in contact with her for so long, he found that Yuriko was different from other girls. She seemed to be very particular about logic and reason.
To her, the greatest truth in the universe seems to be what it means.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
Yu Yifeng went to another place and picked up some fried mealworms, grilled shrimp skewers, and of course French fries, which were Yuriko's favorite things.
Nowadays, the party still adopts the form of buffet. You can eat as you like until everyone is full. Some people are working and some are enjoying it. Everything is voluntary.
Yu Yifeng has all the advantages, but his cooking skills are not good, so he can only focus on eating with a shy face.
If he is forced to go up and work, it will only be a waste of food. So far, human food is very precious and cannot be wasted.
"Here, try this!" He pointed at the pile of fried mealworms and said with a hint of malice.
Yes, bugs, fried bugs.
They are about three centimeters long, which is the width of three fingernails, and their bodies are round and round.
Of course, after being fried, it became a little more acceptable, and the degree of dark cooking was reduced a lot.
Yu Yifeng kind of wanted to spoof Yuriko... But then again, these bugs are indeed a new type of food that the new government wants to vigorously promote.
Because it looks really weird, people's acceptance is not very high, and the promotion effect is not good.
In fact, insects reproduce faster and consume less material resources than livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep.
And its nutritional value is even higher than beef and mutton!
Eating insects is actually a better life choice for people.
For example, mealworm molitor can not only be used as feed, but also edible. Its larvae contain 56.58% crude protein and 28.20% fat, the pupae contain 57% crude protein, and the adults contain 64% crude protein. Their content is much higher than that of eggs, beef, mutton, etc.
It is a conventional animal food and is easy to digest and absorb. It is known as the "King of Protein" among insects!
If people generally eat insects, their health will be better, and they will save a lot of resources for feeding livestock, thus making their lives a little better.
This is of course the idea of the new government, but it is really difficult for the people to generally accept it... Many countries, especially people in Europe and the United States, face this kind of bug and say "oh my god!", but not all of them are like that.
Mr. Bei!
There are also some girls who feel so creepy when faced with this kind of dark cuisine that they dare not eat it!
"If you are sensible and look up some information, you will know that mealworms are not only high in protein, but also contain a full range of essential amino acids. Well... you can eat them this way."
Facing Yifeng's teasing, Bai Hezi said unconvinced.
Of course she didn't say these words to Yu Yifeng, but to convince herself that she was trying to eat a worm...
However, when she saw the plate of fried mealworms, she couldn't help but think of the way they squirmed together when they were alive, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She is a very rational woman and knows that this plate of worms cannot poison her to death. All this is just a psychological effect.
And, supposedly, fried bugs taste pretty good?
She encouraged herself: "Mealworm fat is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and can be purified as fat for medical and cosmetic purposes. It can improve the anti-wrinkle function of the skin... Yes, it can be used for beauty!"
Yu Yifeng interrupted her very rudely: "Okay, isn't it just eating a worm? Do you need to say so many reasons?"
He stuffed several strips into his mouth in succession, "That's it! It tastes pretty good!"
As a former special forces soldier, eating insects is a trivial matter. It can be said to be a required course for soldiers. Yu Yifeng will definitely not have any psychological barriers.
Bai Hezi rolled her eyes at Yu Yifeng, but remained stunned in her seat, reluctant to take action.
As an absolutely rational person, reasonable things need to be tried. She brought out various evidences in her mind and tried to use various facts to convince herself to eat worms.
Eating insects is a better choice.
Yuriko picked up a worm with her chopsticks and stared at it again, feeling quite hesitant.
It’s difficult, it’s too difficult. Solving the Schrödinger equation is nothing compared to “eating worms”!
Her scalp felt numb and she was extremely resistant. But her reason kept urging her to accept that this thing would only be good for human beings and not harmful.
After all, her thinking is different from that of a normal girl. For her thinking, there are better solutions and better choices, but she resists because of stubbornness and other reasons. It is simply intolerable.
In the end, she could only bite the bullet, close her eyes, and stuff it into her mouth casually.
“##@￥??”
In fact, the taste is much better than expected. After frying, it tastes a bit like potato chips, and you can't tell that they are bugs...
Yu Yifeng felt very funny, "How about it, it's actually not bad."
Speaking of this, he suddenly discovered that Yuriko's appearance suddenly changed...
He stared at it strangely for a long time, and then said: "Your skin seems to have become smoother, making you look like you are 18 or 19 years old. Is it because of the new stem cell medicine... or is it the cosmetic effect of eating bugs?"
Yuriko's face was stunned. She didn't know what to say. After eating this insect, she just wanted to flee the scene: "I'll go over there to help cook, you can eat it yourself!"
