When Kagawa finished his first bowl of rice, other classmates in the cafeteria had already finished their first portions of rice. Now, the students who had filled their stomachs started chatting energetically again.
Some were talking about the stir-fried vegetables in the lunch box, and some were talking about the two kinds of soup. Of course, more focus of discussion was still on the rice.
The first-year high school students and the employees of the staple crop department all looked at the fragrant white rice in wonder. Even though they had personally tasted its sweetness, they still felt it was incredible.
Especially for employees in the staple food crop department, since Yuexiang Group's new food, or to be precise, Kagawa's recipe, gradually entered the public eye, the discussion on rice and wheat can be said to have had twists and turns.
Before the emergence of ancient foods, solid foods and liquid foods made from rice flour (rice flour in 21st century terms) and wheat flour each had their own audiences, but generally speaking, rice flour had a milder taste.
, generally more popular among the public, the market share of wheat flour has been declining since five thousand years ago.
One of the reasons previously proposed for reducing the production of escorts is that the Agriculture Bureau is considering canceling wheat cultivation and focusing resources on staple food crops on rice.
But the opening of Yuexiang Restaurant and Xiangxue's live broadcast room completely reversed this situation.
Gnocchi, noodles, scones, steamed buns, steamed buns... The emergence of various types of noodles has brought the gradually neglected wheat flour into the spotlight. Yuexiang Group has directly purchased most of the wheat flour on the market. If it were not for market operation
According to the management method, they will probably contract out all the wheat flour on the market and send it to the popular Yuexiang Restaurant.
If it were not for Yuexiang Group's limited-time exclusivity, other groups would not be able to directly obtain relevant authorizations, and the Agriculture Bureau could even be certain that this year's wheat flour market would be in short supply for the first time in eight thousand years.
Yuexiang Group now receives canteen contracting invitations from various large and small companies or government agencies every day, so much so that manufacturers of kitchen AI peripherals are a little overwhelmed. Although the canteens contracted by Yuexiang Group do not have as many types of dishes as those in restaurants
, but it is cheap and convenient, and is very popular among students and the general public.
As a result, last month’s staple food crop sales for the third fleet’s main ship were for the first time, with wheat flour far exceeding rice flour.
For this reason, the staple food crop departments of each escort ship had to start thinking about ways to increase the sales of rice flour for the first time, because it is said that before July, Yuexiang Restaurant will be fully rolled out in the twelve escort ships of the third convoy.
, by then the sales gap between wheat flour and rice flour will further widen.
However, Manager Wu did not expect that this issue would soon be resolved as soon as he started writing about it.
When Controller Wu just finished his first bowl of rice, he sent the entire meal process recorded on his personal terminal to the captain of the fourth production escort ship, Mark Bay, and stated that this staple food was made of rice.
After seeing with satisfaction that the other party sent him a series of exclamation marks and colons, Manager Wu decisively chose to block the message prompts.
Manager Wu: Captain, please don't be impatient. Let me be impatient first.
"Hello, Kagawa-san."
When Manager Wu saw Xiangchuan handing the lunch box to her classmate, his eyes lit up and he immediately came to her side.
Xiangchuan blinked and asked in confusion: "Manager Wu, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Yating, Qiu Manman, Nancy and others at the same table with her all admired her slowness.
What else could it be? Isn’t it just this white staple food? Didn’t you see that Manager Wu’s eyes were so excited that he was about to shoot lasers?
Mr. Wu secretly glanced at the other students at the same table. As soon as they caught Mr. Wu's gaze, they immediately looked away.
Everyone is a freshman in high school with the highest level of observation and observation. They have experienced the ups and downs of the Tongue Club (or Xiangchuan) for more than a month, and they have already developed a thick skin.
The simple summary is: if you want to talk about serious business, please feel free to do so, and we will just listen.
After all, the topic that Chief Wu will discuss with Kagawa next is likely to be an important topic that will determine the staple structure of the Third Fleet, or even the entire Twelfth Fleet, to produce escort ships in the future.
And they are also very interested in this staple food called "rice", so naturally they will not miss the scene.
"Ahem." Manager Wu looked around and found that no one had left. His face was slightly embarrassed, but he immediately adjusted himself with a light cough and said in a very gentle tone: "It's nothing important, I just want to
There is something unclear about this rice issue."
In fact, he wanted to keep Kagawa directly in the fourth production escort ship, but there were students from Class 18 of Senior High School who were eyeing him, and later there was the board of directors of Yuexiang Group who was busy sharpening their knives. Even if the captain came, it would not be of any use, so
Had to give up.
Xiangchuan looked confused: "Didn't you just watch the whole process? That's how rice is made. If you want to ask me how it works, I don't know much about it. I'm only a high school student."
The classmates from Grade 18 and Grade 1 who participated in the whole cooking process: No, we still understand this.
When Manager Wu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched crazily.
I have long heard from other colleagues on the main ship that the eldest daughter of the chairman of the Yuexiang Group is not very smart, but in reality she is quite speechless.
"Ahem, that's not what I wanted to ask." Manager Wu had to cough again to bring the topic back, "We are more interested in the style of ancient people eating staple foods. So far, these staple foods are made together with other ingredients.
into solid food and liquid food, so until not long ago, we all thought that staple food should be cooked with other ingredients. In the past, most of the wheat flour foods that your father introduced in restaurants were cooked with ingredients.
Cooking, so we always thought that ancient people’s dining style was the same as modern people.”
"But the rice you just made... is called rice, right? This rice needs to be processed separately from other ingredients. This gave me a big shock and also confused me. As far as I know
, rice, like wheat, is one of the most consumed staple crops in ancient times. Is it possible that ancient people also ate rice in this way?"
As he spoke, Manager Wu could no longer hide the confusion on his face, and other members of the staple food crop department who pretended to pass by casually nodded silently.
The cooking method of rice is really a new worldview for production escorts who have been mixing rice flour with other ingredients for a long time.
How did Xiangchuan know about the entangled mentality of the staple food crop department? She asked in confusion: "But rice is eaten like this, isn't it?"
