Chapter 703 The new cook, this boss is extraordinary!
On June 7, the eighth year of the last calendar year, it was 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.
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 for 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 capable cars that came back and forth also started a business, and began to transport waves of outsiders into the town.
Everything seemed to be back before the heavy rain.
harmonious.
Peace.
"Xiaojuan, I'm leaving"
"By the way, you should stay at home for the next few days, don't rush to work, wait until this storm has passed"< br>
After getting up early and having breakfast, after giving Huang Xiaojuan a few instructions, Sumo picked up his backpack and went out.
At present, a total of six families have moved in next to his 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 in contrast to this, it is.
"Sure enough, the survivors who have lived in the wasteland for so long may not be sensitive to the prices of other consumer goods"
"But food is different. Even a little movement is enough to cause a riot"
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. These were far ten times more than the permanent population and dozens of times more than the foreign population. Even if they made trouble, it would only be a small-scale commotion, and they would immediately Finish.
Available now.
In these five days of heavy rain, income has dropped to zero and food prices have risen.
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, with rising food prices, food may become a problem.
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."
Su Mo still had something in his mind He was 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 I saw him alone and with a "skinny" figure.
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 red-faced middle-aged men stuttered out of the shadows in the corner, looking embarrassed.
“You guys are out of money?”
“We are really out of money. If you don’t believe me, we can show you the game board.” One of the slightly shorter middle-aged men quickly answered.
“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?"
"Is there no money left?"
Strong memory , although not enough for Sumo to remember everything in his mind.
But it had only been two or three days, so he didn't forget everything.
This time, after being exposed.
The three big men struggled for a few seconds, and finally chose.
"Borrow some, we know you have money, if you don't borrow, we can't live anymore"
“That’s right, you give us some, and we’ll help you sort things out if you encounter problems in the future.”
"Brother Liu, all the gangsters in Sangtian Town have to give face to each other. Boy, please lend some to your brothers."
As they spoke, the three of them secretly moved and surrounded Sumo.
Looking skilled, it is obviously not the first time he has done such a thing.
“Hey, if you can’t deceive, 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 doing this?”< br>
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 straight forward.
He wanted to directly 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 positions."
"Alas"
I don't know what the hell the mayor of Sangtian Town is doing to be disturbed like this. , Sumo no longer had the interest to observe 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"
"Hey, it's too chaotic outside now. The escort team has arrested two to three hundred people this morning."
Seeing the sound and shadow of Su Mo appear in the distance, Sun Quan, who was hiding in the corner, jumped out.
It can be seen from his much faster pace that everyone will inevitably be affected by this chaos.
“With nothing 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 walked side by side to Liangfang, but they did not encounter the same "robber" as before.
Hurryly took out the breakfast prepared by Huang Xiaojuan and gave it to Sun Quan.
Sumo sat in the studio without any delay and continued to work.
In four or five days, about 60% of the drawings of the battle armor have been dismantled, and more than half of the manufacturing process has been familiar.
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 be endless if we rely solely on the stone tools made by Zhang Bowen.” , it would be bad if all the materials were sold.”
War armor 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 the provided store in the future, the progress will probably be slowed down a lot.
So, in order to seek stability.
Based on Zhang Bowen's work, Sumo decided to continue iterative development and strive to develop a harvesting machine that can directly target these special plants and complete innovations that are several times faster than energy stone tools.
In this way, even if time is tight and some fish that slip through the net are confiscated, Zizai Liangfang will not suffer a direct loss.
“The Xinghuo III 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 the output."
While sketching the drawings, Sumo quickly had an idea in his mind.
To put it simply, there are still a large number of migrant workers in Sangtian Town.
These people have not found jobs, and the prices 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 is 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 a tool is developed to pass the most difficult level, the remaining particles will be returned to the warehouse. , even if it is all piled up by people! "How can we ensure that the wheat growing on the ears of wheat falls to the ground safely and will not break and return to the field?
is 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 planar structure of the energy stone engine developed by Lu Kuan began to slowly take shape on the paper.
Ration 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.
When we entered actual research and development, time flew by.
After a while, it was noon again.
…
“Brother Su, we’re here for lunch, our store has finally hired a cook”
"I heard that today there is not only braised pork, but also fish with pickled vegetables, so I quickly went to grab some food."
Bah 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. As a result, the price of meat is not only not cheaper than in the wasteland in a year, but also becomes 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"
"They are running faster than the other. We are late, so we can only eat leftovers"
"Come on It’s 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 But 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 will not be as good as those two old men last time Isn’t it delicious?”
While walking towards the cafeteria, Sun Quan couldn’t help but smell the air around him, like some kind of animal.
A long while.
It wasn't until a faint scent entered his nose that Sun Quan straightened his back: "Look, that's right, I said it must be good!"
"Hey, it's still good. It really smells good.”
The further you go, the stronger the fragrance circulating in the air becomes.
After sniffing it, Sumo nodded, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
In this fragrance, there is indeed a lot of meat flavor, which is constantly stimulating people's appetite.
But apart from the smell of meat, Sumo could still discern a very "familiar" smell.
Like.
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 over to greet him:
"Teacher, I have prepared a special seat for you. You must taste me carefully." The craftsmanship of the chefs hired today”
“Their taste is so good. My dad and I have never tasted such delicious food in the big restaurants in Hope City before.”
While speaking, There is still a blush on Zhang Bowen's face that has 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 rice without stopping.
Obviously.
“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, the treasure water of the territory?"
Drinking psionic energy water for a long time, Somo's mental state has become extremely resistant, and he can completely ignore this. A temptation that comes 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 the door. 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 better, so there’s no need to worry about exposure.
"Let's go, teacher, let me take you to see our new cook first."
Like a child who got a toy and was eager to show it off, Zhang Bowen walked ahead happily 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 here"
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 a little inarticulate. 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 is strong in scientific research. It is really lucky to have your two giant Buddhas sitting in Zizai Liangfang!"
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 will come 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 Sumo, 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 is superb in his craftsmanship, and the taste is simply amazing."
In Zhang Bowen's expectant eyes, the two stretched out their hands and shook them tightly Together, there are smiles on our faces.
The next moment is available.
But the two of them quickly let go of their hands as if they were electrocuted, leaving Zhang Bowen and Sun Quan stunned.
"Static electricity, haha, it's static electricity"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was suddenly 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 been professionally trained.
Before, 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.
That's how it worked.
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.
Only this time, everything was left unsaid.
