Chapter 703 The new cook, this boss is extraordinary!
June 7, eighth year of the last calendar year, sunny.
This was a big day for the college entrance examination in the civilized era, but nine years after humans traveled to the wasteland, not many people mentioned it anymore.
Very few people even remember these days, they just live them one day at a time.
As the sun rises from the sky, it brings a ray of warm sunlight.
Sangtian Town, which had been silent for five days, finally ushered in the much-anticipated "revival".
Those migrant workers who had rested for a few days walked out of the door in high spirits and began to look for work and consumption.
Those shops that were closed because there was no traffic opened their curtains early in the morning and announced their reopening.
Including outside the town, those high-powered cars that came and went also started a business, and began to bring waves of outsiders into the town.
Everything seemed to be back before the heavy rain.
harmonious.
peaceful.
"Xiaojuan, I'm leaving"
"By the way, you should stay at home these days. Don't rush to work. Wait until this storm has passed."
After getting up early and having breakfast, after giving Huang Xiaojuan a few instructions, Sumo picked up his backpack and went out.
Currently, a total of six families have moved in next to my courtyard, and all of them are skilled hands sent by Feng Tianmin.
With their protection and Oreo's vigilance, as long as Huang Xiaojuan stays at home, she will basically not encounter any trouble that is difficult to deal with.
But on the contrary, it is.
"Sure enough, the survivors who have survived in the wasteland for so long may not be sensitive to the prices of other consumer goods."
"But food is different. Even if it's moved a little bit, it's enough to cause a fight."
Wandering all the way to the place where food was sold last night, Somo could smell a hint of chaos as soon as he walked out of Gutian Third Street.
The flow of people in Sangtian Town is too mixed!
In the past, there were restraints by rules and suppression by escorts. Even if the foreign population, which was ten times and dozens of times more than the permanent population, caused trouble, it would only be a small-scale commotion and it would end immediately.
But now.
These five days of heavy rain have resulted in zero income and rising food prices.
This directly caused the savings of those migrant workers who stayed in rented houses to be greatly reduced.
If you have some savings, you may be able to hold on for a while.
For those without savings, food prices may become a problem as food prices rise.
With such a huge cost of living.
Obviously, these people are no longer as well-behaved as before and have other ideas in their minds.
"Brother, do you have money? Can you lend me a little?"
"I really have no money to eat. Lend me some and I'll pay you twice as much after the summer harvest."
Sumo was still thinking about possible solutions to this wave of territory, but as he just turned a corner, several sudden sounds rang in his ears.
Looking up, Sumo couldn't help but laugh.
Perhaps it was because he was alone and "skinny".
Or maybe it was because he saw that his face was shiny and he looked like he had no worries about food and clothing.
Three middle-aged men with red faces stuttered out of the shadows in the corner, looking embarrassed.
"You have no money?"
"It's really gone. If you don't believe it, we can show you the game board." One of the shorter middle-aged men quickly joined.
"The consumption in the territory is too high. We need a survival point for three meals a day. There are still more than ten days before the summer harvest. We"
Seeing that Sumo had the idea of borrowing money, the three people quickly complained.
But Sumo, who was standing opposite and had been listening, was smiling more and more.
"No way, I remember seeing you guys drinking and bragging at the food stall the day before yesterday?"
"There's no money left?"
Although Soma's strong memory does not allow him to remember everything in his mind.
But it's only been two or three days, so he hasn't forgotten everything.
This time, after being exposed.
The three big men struggled for a few seconds and finally made their choice.
"Borrow some, we know you have money. If you don't borrow, we won't be able to survive."
"That's it, just give us some, and we'll help you settle things when you encounter them in the future."
"I, brother Liu, need to give face to all the gangsters in Sangtian Town. Boy, please lend some to your brothers."
As they spoke, the three of them secretly moved and surrounded Somo.
He looked skilled, and it was obviously not the first time he had done something like this.
"Huh, if you can't deceive me, then you can rob it by force, right?"
"Why, aren't you afraid of being caught by the territorial law enforcement team? Or are you planning to run away after finishing this job?"
Seeing that the expressions on the three people's faces were a little strange, their eyes began to wander.
Sumo shook his head, chuckled and walked forward.
He wanted to go ahead and let the three of them taste the taste of failed robbery, but then he thought about it.
If it hadn't been for this sudden disaster and the malicious competition among the grain banks in Sangtian Town, all other grain banks that could provide jobs would have closed down.
It's not like now, all these influx of foreign people are in chaos, doing nothing all day long.
"It's still a management problem. In such a big town, no one regulates employment opportunities."
"well"
It was unclear what the mayor of Sangtian Town was up to. Being disturbed like this, Sumo lost interest in observing the grand scene in front of the grain shop.
After taking a detour, he soon came to the point where he usually met with Sun Quan.
"Brother Su, you are finally here"
"Fuck, it's so chaotic outside now. The escort team arrested two to three hundred people this morning."
Sun Quan, who was hiding in the corner, jumped out when he saw Somo's voice and shadow appearing in the distance.
It can be seen from his much faster pace that everyone will inevitably be affected by this chaos.
"Without anything to do, no money, and no money to eat, these people must be in chaos."
When we arrived at the main road, there were already more patrol patrols.
The two of them walked side by side to Liangfang, but they did not encounter the same "robber" as before.
He hurriedly took out the breakfast prepared by Huang Xiaojuan and gave it to Sun Quan.
Sumo didn't waste a moment and sat in the studio and continued to work.
In four or five days, about 60% of the armor's blueprints have been dismantled, and more than half of the manufacturing process has been familiarized.
As long as all the blueprints are dismantled and a few more important components are collected, Sumo can control this miniature development platform and start manufacturing version 1.0 of the Daily War Armor.
But unfortunately, after sitting down today, he had to stuff the armor drawings in the cabinet and take out a new piece of white paper to start drawing.
"If the summer harvest only lasts for ten days, the harvest will definitely not be completed just by relying on the powerful stone tools made by Zhang Bowen."
"It will be a trivial matter for Liangfang to lose money at that time. It would be really bad if he goes bankrupt and sells off all the instruments and materials."
Warframe manufacturing requires the use of precision integration platforms.
This nearly 40,000 platform and 50,000 materials will be liquidated once it is bankrupt.
Even if Sumo can still find a store to provide it in the future, the progress will probably be slowed down a lot.
So, for the sake of stability.
Based on Zhang Bowen's work, Sumo decided to continue iterative development, striving to develop a harvesting machine that could directly target these special plants and complete innovations several times faster than energy stone tools.
In this way, even if time is tight, some fish that slip through the net are still confiscated, and Zizailiangfang will not suffer a direct loss.
"The Xinghuo 3 wheat is relatively fragile, which means that the fully automatic machine must be light and gentle enough during the harvesting process."
“In this way, we can ensure output.”
While sketching the drawing, Sumo soon had an idea in his mind.
It's easy to say, there are still a large number of migrant workers in Sangtian Town.
These people have not found jobs, and the prices they are asking for are low enough.
If they are excluded from the production process, more energy will inevitably be spent on research and development to make up for it.
But if you use some semi-automatic tools for them to use, it will also take a lot of time to train these people to ensure the efficiency of harvesting and ensure that the summer harvest can be completed within ten days.
And this is exactly the current pain point.
No time!
"If you don't do one thing and don't stop doing the other, just cut off the harvesting link."
"As long as we develop a tool that can pass the most difficult level and return the remaining particles to the warehouse, even if it is all done by human beings!"
How to ensure that the wheat growing on the ears of wheat falls safely to the ground and will not break and return to the field.
It's a big problem.
But after thinking about the design of the Sun-Chasing Armor in the cabinet under his feet, Sumo gritted his teeth and began to move his hands.
After a while, the plane structure of the energy stone engine developed by Lu Kuan began to slowly take shape on the paper.
Reason told him that doing so would definitely run the risk of being discovered by the territory.
But for the sake of the grand plan, Sumo decided to take a desperate risk in order to achieve a quick victory in a short period of time.
Once we entered actual research and development, time flew by.
After a while, it was noon again.
…
"Brother Su, we're here for lunch. We finally have a chef in our store."
"I heard that today there is not only braised pork but also pickled fish, so I quickly went to grab some food."
Bang bang bang.
The bell just rang for the end of work, and Sun Quan stood at the door on time and shouted.
These days, natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent.
The scale of the breeding farms cannot be expanded, resulting in the price of meat not only not being cheaper than in the wasteland in a year, but also becoming more expensive.
Ordinary people who want to eat meat can only afford some during the holidays, which makes their mouths a little oily.
If you want to eat braised pork, pickled fish, etc., it is definitely a luxury!
"Brother Su, hurry up"
"Each one of them ran faster than the other. When we got there late, we had to eat leftovers."
"Coming, coming!"
Hearing a hint of urgency in Sun Quan's voice, Sumo stood up helplessly, straightened his clothes and opened the door.
"Why are you so anxious? Don't wait any longer. The cook is on the same level as before. Let's see if you still laugh."
"No way, Brother Su." Sun Quan shrank his head: "I heard that the cook who came today came from a five-star hotel and had three apprentices under him."
"No matter how bad a person like this is, he won't be as bad as those two old men last time, right?"
While walking towards the cafeteria, Sun Quan couldn't help sniffing the surrounding air, like some kind of animal.
Half a moment.
It wasn't until a faint scent entered his nose that Sun Quan straightened his back and said, "Look, that's right. I said it must be good!"
"Hey, it really smells good."
The further you go, the stronger the fragrance circulating in the air becomes.
After smelling it, Sumo nodded, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
There is indeed a lot of meaty flavor in this fragrance, which is constantly stimulating people's appetite.
But apart from the smell of meat, Somo could still detect a very "familiar" smell.
picture.
Nether energy water???
"Teacher, you are here!"
Standing in front of the cafeteria door, Zhang Bowen was pacing back and forth anxiously.
It wasn't until he saw Somo appearing that he suddenly became overjoyed and hurriedly came to greet him:
"Teacher, I have prepared a special seat for you. You must taste the craftsmanship of the master I invited today."
"They smell like this. My dad and I have gone to the big restaurants in Hope City before, and we have never tasted anything so fragrant."
As he spoke, Zhang Bowen's face still had a blush that had not gone away.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Somo turned his head and glanced around.
Sure enough, a similar reaction appeared on Sun Quan's face, and even the workers sitting outside the canteen on the first floor showed a lot of abnormalities.
Just following this strange taste, they can eat two or three bowls of ordinary rice without stopping.
Apparently so.
"Ordinary people who have never drank psionic water will basically have this reaction after encountering it for the first time."
"But how can a cook possess psionic energy? No, how can he possess the treasure of the territory?"
After long-term drinking of psionic water, Somo's mental state has become extremely resistant, and he can completely ignore this temptation from the physical level.
But after all, this body was left behind by the original "Su Youzong".
At this moment, Su Mo turned his head and looked in the full-length mirror after entering. He suddenly realized that his face was as red as a monkey's butt, and the pores all over his body were greedily breathing in the water vapor lingering in the air.
Compared with the state of the people next to me, it's just a lot more, so you don't have to worry about exposure.
"Come on, teacher, I'll take you to see our new cook first."
Like a child who has received a toy and is eager to show it off, Zhang Bowen happily walked in front and began to walk into the cafeteria.
With all kinds of curiosity in his heart, Sumo immediately followed, and the three of them went straight to the direction where they usually dine.
Continuously passing through the open room where two ordinary workers ate, as the smell became stronger and stronger, Sumo could even vaguely see the four new chefs standing and busy inside.
White clothes, tall chef hat, paired with skillful spooning skills.
As the flames suddenly jumped up, it really felt like a chef.
However.
After taking a few steps closer, Sumo paused when he saw a slightly familiar voice and shadow, and a "wry smile" appeared on his face.
"Master Pei, Master Pei, I brought my teacher over."
Seeing Su Moton living at the door, Zhang Bowen didn't take it seriously and stood directly at the kitchen door and shouted.
Not long after, a smiling middle-aged man walked out.
He seemed a little shy and not good at speaking. When he saw the three people standing, he only lowered his head slightly.
"Hi, teacher, this is the chef I just invited today, Pei Zhao, Master Pei!"
"Master Pei, this is my teacher, Su Youzong, Teacher Su"
"You are good at cooking, and my teacher has strong scientific research skills. It is really lucky to have your two giant Buddhas sitting in Zizailiangfang!"
Standing between the two of them, Zhang Bowen made a decent introduction with a smile on his face.
Last night, he and his father Zhang Da were still worrying about how to save themselves if Liangfang really collapsed in the future.
When I think of the huge liquidated damages that I will face when a disaster strikes, it is all false to say that I don’t have to worry about it.
However.
Today, after opening the door in the morning, the four men from Pei and Zhao came to the door, but Zhang Bowen's mind suddenly became active.
I hope he has seen and eaten at restaurants in the city and knows exactly how good they are.
To be honest, I just hope that the specialty dishes in the restaurant are far different from the ordinary dishes made by the chef Pei Zhao.
If you can win over Su Mo, a scientific research leader, you can also win over the four masters and disciples of Pei Zhao.
Even if Liangfang fails to continue operating in the future, it is not impossible to transform into a special restaurant.
therefore
"Teacher Su, I have admired you for a long time!"
“No, no, Master Pei’s skills are superb, and the taste is simply amazing.”
In Zhang Bowen's expectant eyes, the two stretched out their hands and held them tightly, with smiles on their faces.
But the next moment.
But the two of them quickly let go of their hands as if they were electrocuted, leaving Zhang Bowen and Sun Quan stunned.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of me who suddenly looked more than ten years older than he remembered.
Su Mo laughed loudly and quickly looked away.
When it comes to disguise, Sumo admits that he is definitely not as good as someone who has received professional training.
In the past, the reason why Fenglong was able to be deceived was firstly because of the blocking of the game, and secondly because Fenglong didn't think much about other places from the beginning.
This is how we succeeded.
But now, facing Pei Shao, who has been playing disguise and scheming for who knows how many years.
Although there was only a slight difference, both of them saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"Su"
"Pei"
The words sounded and fell at the same time, the harmony was a bit unusual.
