To be honest, the canteen of the S Province Sports Team has always had a very high standard of food because S Province itself has a developed economy, attaches great importance to sports, and the provincial team has sufficient funds.
Although it is not as good as the 400 yuan per person meal standard in football, the first-level athletes in the team have an average daily meal standard of 120 yuan, and the national and international master-level athletes have a meal standard of 160 yuan and 200 yuan, which is considered the top standard among provincial teams. Whenever there is a major competition or a high-intensity training cycle, this standard will be further improved.
Ever since the concepts of healthy diet for athletes and the effects of diet on athlete training and performance improvement were proposed, Sun Xiangdong, the head chef of the S Province Sports Team, took the exam to obtain the athlete nutritionist certificate very quickly. In his spare time, he also constantly seeks advice from other senior nutritionists and actively communicates with the team's coaches.
It can be said that Province S has done an excellent job among all provincial teams in the preparation of nutritional meals and catering supplies for athletes.
The athletes of the S Province Sports Team have always been the envy of athletes from other provincial teams in terms of catering rations.
The coaches are also very proud of this - after all, if they want their soldiers to fight hard, they must be well fed.
And just when the coaches thought that their team had done well enough in the catering aspect, someone suddenly said - the recent improvement in the performance of some of your athletes is because there is a new chef in the team and that chef cooks delicious food?
Are you kidding me? !
All the coaches had this thought in their minds before arriving at the third floor of the cafeteria.
After all, they eat a lot in the team's cafeteria, and the coaches are well aware of the quality of several chefs in the kitchen, including Sun Xiangdong and Wang Wu.
These chefs are all good in the kitchen. After eating meals prepared by these chefs for years, why would they be excited for a newcomer like Su Bai?
No matter how hard I think about it, it's impossible... Hey, what's that smell?
Head coach He Yishen, who reached the stairs to the second floor first, stood there in a daze for a moment.
"Wow, it smells so good, where does this smell come from?" The coach who was one step behind He Yishen also smelled the fragrance coming from the third floor, and then touched his stomach: "Oh, is this what Sun Xiangdong has cooked again?"
Zhao Heping, who was following He Yishen and the coach, snorted: "Sun Xiangdong's previous dishes didn't make you this hungry. Why can't Su Bai's dishes be used?"
After confirming that the dish cooked by Su Bai was fine, Zhao Heping finally calmed down and began to hum to support his disciple.
Several coaches who were on good terms with Zhao Heping also laughed: "Hey, Old Zhao, you really do a good job of blowing your disciple!"
"But the smell is very tempting, how about... we go up and get some food first?"
The coaches stood at the entrance of the second-floor stairs. Waves of sweet, sour or rich aromas from the third floor drifted to this location, arousing the appetite of many coaches.
What's the point of waiting here?
Of course, we have to hurry up to the third floor!
In the cafeteria on the third floor, the team members who had been taken for temporary physical examinations had already rushed to the cafeteria. Everyone who was eating in the cafeteria on the third floor could see a slightly strange scene - after entering the cafeteria, every athlete would first stare at window No. 3 and mutter to themselves for a while, then take their meal card to the computer next to them and swipe it.
bite!
When swiping out the meal pick-up windows, if everyone picks up their meals at window No. 3, the athletes will feel like they have won the prize and will happily go to window No. 3.
If the pick-up windows that appear do not include Window No. 3, the athlete who is picking up the meal will look a little dejected, and then stare at the pick-up numbers of his teammates next to him and shed tears of envy.
After getting their meals, most athletes would look at each other's plates, then quickly walk to their seats at the table. Once seated, they would eat without saying a word as a sign of respect.
For most athletes, eating is actually like a task. No matter what kind of food the team provides, for the sake of health and better training, they need to eat every bite of food carefully.
Even though not every team member is as picky about food as Cui Luoheng, this kind of task-based dining is not a pleasant experience.
However, this situation has been greatly improved since Chef Xiaobai arrived at the cafeteria on the third floor!
Nowadays, every one of the 76 elite players in the team praises Su Bai three times a day, for no other reason than - our Chef Xiaobai’s cooking is so delicious!
Look at this scallop and egg custard, which is tender and smooth, with a sweet egg aroma with a little bit of saltiness, and is sprinkled with a handful of green onions and a little soy sauce for coloring. Just the smell makes your stomach growl, and when you take a bite, it is so delicious that it slides easily into your stomach, and after one spoonful, you can't wait to follow up with a second and third spoonful.
After eating two more spoonfuls, you can taste the scallops buried in the tender steamed egg. The salty and fresh taste of the scallops is mixed with the aroma of the egg. Oh, just this, how can a small bowl be enough?
Look at the steamed fish again. A thin layer of steamed fish sauce is spread on the plate, and then there is a yellow croaker that has been steamed to be fresh and tempting. No one knows how their chef Xiaobai steamed this fish. Anyway, the comparison between the steamed yellow croaker they ate in the past and the one steamed by Xiaobai now is like the contrast between yesterday's yellow flowers and the tender and delicate flowers.
"Oh my, how can it be so tender and fresh?" Qiu Wen was holding his steamed yellow croaker and eating happily when he suddenly felt a large shadow appear behind him.
? ? ?
Qiu Wen was a little confused, and looked up in the direction of the shadow - wow! Coach, the coach of the whole group!
Looking at the coaching team headed by Zhao Heping and He Yishen, Qiu Wen subconsciously felt that he might have done something wrong and was going to be beaten. He stared at Zhao Heping blankly and uttered something after a long while.
"Coach, the food I'm eating today is provided by our cafeteria!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a low laugh could be heard all around.
Zhao Heping also covered his head in annoyance, then looked at Qiu Wen fiercely: "Okay, I know you eat the food in the cafeteria!"
This way of confessing guilt at the beginning seemed like an instinct that Qiu Wen had developed after committing the same sin countless times. The other coaches around him looked at Zhao Heping with a teasing look in their eyes.
Qiu Wen also reacted now - he hadn't made any mistakes recently!
After speaking with confidence, Qiu Wen straightened his back and said righteously: "Ever since our Xiaobai became the chef, I haven't eaten snacks once!"
The space in the stomach is limited, so of course we have to leave it for more delicious food!
Zhao Heping looked at his second-rate disciple helplessly. He shook his head and ignored Qiu Wen. Instead, he and other coaches walked around the window and knocked on the door of the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Sun Xiangdong, Wang Wu and other chefs from the kitchen were eating with Su Bai. Over this period of time, Su Bai's cooking skills had become known to everyone in the team. Other team members could not go to the cafeteria on the third floor to eat, but the chefs could!
So, in the kitchen where originally only Sun Xiangdong and Su Bai ate, now every time it was time for the chefs to eat, the chefs on the first and second floors would happily go up to the third floor to have a bite of food at Su Bai and Sun Xiangdong's place.
Oh, you gotta say, this food is so damn delicious!
When the coaches arrived, Wang Wu and the others had just come up, and the food that Su Bai had left had not even been opened when the coaches arrived.
"Coach He, Lao Zhao... why are you here?" When Sun Xiangdong saw the coaches coming, the head of the kitchen went out to greet them first.
The kitchen was not big, and Wang Wu and his team had already taken up quite a bit of space. So, except for He Yishen, Zhao Heping and a few other coaches, the rest of the coaches stayed outside to "communicate" with their teammates.
Of course He Yishen would not tell anyone what happened today. He just smiled and said, "Didn't I hear that there is a chef on the third floor? We are here to have a meal."
He Yishen's words did not arouse any suspicion. After all, Su Bai's fame and popularity have been growing in the team recently. Even their kitchen staff have been looking for Su Bai to eat. So what's the big deal if they heard that the coaching staff came to eat today?
As a tough guy from Northeast China, Sun Xiangdong didn't think there was anything strange about this. He just turned around and asked everyone to distribute the food evenly, and then took the food to the table outside to have a meal with the coaches from the coaching staff.
When Wang Wu and his friends were getting their meals, Sun Xiangdong saw Zhao Heping and his eyes lit up. He praised Su Bai to Zhao Heping again.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, let me tell you, Su Bai's cooking skills are just that!" Sun Xiangdong said, giving a thumbs up: "Xiao Bai's cooking skills are really amazing. This is because he cares about the relationship with our team. He has been working in our team and has been working hard. If you ask me, Xiao Bai's cooking skills are enough for him to make a fortune if he goes out and opens a small restaurant!"
"Haven't there been many private kitchen restaurants in our city in recent years? A plate of vegetables costs 100 to 80 yuan. Our Xiaobai's cooking is better than theirs!"
Sun Xiangdong is an old chef after all, and his sense of taste and smell are very keen. These days, he can feel that Su Bai's cooking skills are constantly improving. The extent of this improvement even makes him, a master chef who has been cooking for more than 20 years, amazed.
What he said to Zhao Heping was really what he really thought. With Su Bai's skills, would he be afraid of not making money after retiring?
Zhao Heping really didn't expect this to happen. He was also stunned when he heard this. He had introduced Su Bai into the team before in order to give Su Bai a better way out, but now according to what Sun Xiangdong said, it would be better for Su Bai to open his own shop.
Su Bai had been standing on the sidelines without saying anything, but when he heard the conversation between Sun Xiangdong and his master, he stood up directly.
“It’s great to be on our team.”
He was initially worried about his performance and his future after retirement. At that time, he lacked enough confidence. Now, with that stupid system that fell from the sky, doesn't Su Bai want to contribute his own strength to this team where he has been for ten years?
In the sports he once fought for, he also has the opportunity to achieve results that he never imagined before.
He Yishen saw the conversation between Sun Xiangdong, Zhao Heping and Su Bai, smiled on the side and praised Su Bai.
"Okay, our Xiaobai is also doing well!" He Yishen glanced at Su Bai with a smile and was about to say a few more words of encouragement. On the other side, Wang Wu and the others had already prepared the food and began to invite the coaches to eat quickly.
So He Yishen didn't say anything more, but followed everyone to the dining table outside and sat down.
As soon as everyone sat down, they were completely attracted by the aroma of the food in front of them. They had originally planned to say a few words, but now they were in no mood to talk at all.
Look, look at this pork rib soup, it has a refreshing aroma and warms your stomach with just one mouthful!
Look, look at this steamed soft-shelled turtle. You can’t taste the original muddy smell of the soft-shelled turtle at all. It is fresh, fragrant and tender. It is really unforgettable!
Look, there are also steamed eggs with scallops, abalone with sauce, steamed yellow croaker, stir-fried amaranth, loofah and edamame...
Not to mention the two or three rows of coaches and chefs who were eating with their mouths watering, the athletes who had already finished their meal were also staring in that direction, reluctant to leave.
"Damn! It's so good to be a coach!" Qiu Wen glanced at his empty plate and made envious sounds in the direction of the coaches.
Next to Qiu Wen, Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng, who were also part of the midnight snack trio, nodded thoughtfully.
Before Wang Shen could speak, Cui Luoheng, who usually had a cold face, actually said, "It's great to be a coach."
Over there, the coaches finished their meals reluctantly. Looking at the empty plates and bowls, a few coaches looked at each other and then coughed.
"Hey, Lao He, look, should we have our coach's meals here on the third floor?"
Not far away, Qiu Wen heard the coaches' discussion and turned to Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng angrily, "Damn it, these coaches are not satisfied with just one meal, they are going to blame our Xiao Bai!"
