Chapter 203 Food City
After listening to Wang Anjun's story, Xu Sichen was silent for a long time. Then he pointed at the empty space in front of him and said with resentment, "What about my cafeteria?"
Wei Mingliang quickly answered, "The new cafeteria was completed, so we moved there directly."
After saying that, he seemed to realize something and said with a confused look on his face, "Sister, you looked so grumpy just now. Did you think the cafeteria was bombed?"
Xu Sichen didn't say anything, but the twitching of the corners of his mouth said it all.
After a minute of silence, everyone showed ferocious and distorted expressions.
I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare to laugh out loud, so I held it in.
Xu Sichen rolled his eyes, then turned and left with his bag full of food. "If you want to laugh, then laugh. Otherwise, you'll get sick from holding it in and waste the base's medical resources."
Then--
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A burst of wild laughter sounded behind Xu Sichen, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard it.
Everyone took a few quick steps and hurriedly caught up, taking the big bag of ingredients from Xu Sichen, and walked towards the new cafeteria with laughter and noise.
Seeing the new cafeteria right before their eyes, Han Xiaogang, the logistics director, introduced it, "The new cafeteria has five floors, each capable of accommodating a thousand people. Old Huang has planned it. The first and second floors are for residents, the third floor is for the base's civil servants, and the fourth and fifth floors serve specialty dishes."
Xu Sichen nodded in approval. Doctors, guards, scientific researchers and other civil servants serving the base did need to be separated from the dining area of ordinary residents because they needed to be on duty.
"What are the special dishes? Are they open yet?" As a foodie, she was naturally very concerned about the dishes in the cafeteria.
Wei Mingliang said with some regret: "It hasn't opened yet. Mr. Huang said that the cafeteria is short of staff and can't open for the time being."
Wang Anjun added: "Lao Huang's idea is that every region in our country has a lot of specialties. If one is lost, it will be a loss for them. So he wants to leave the specialties to the local artisans who come in later. While continuing the food culture, he can also let everyone enjoy the delicacies of different places."
Xu Sichen's eyes lit up when he heard this. China is a vast country with so many provinces and cities. There must be so many delicious foods.
The Northwest region's big plate chicken, pilaf, roast lamb, baked naan, stuffed skin, lamb intestine noodles, offal soup, beef noodles, lamb, Jingning roast chicken, Yanchi beach lamb, as well as eight-treasure tea, cold skin, and roujiamo.
The southwest region's butter tea, barley, yak meat, cross-bridge rice noodles, steamed chicken, Xuanwei ham, intestines and pork noodles, mutton noodles, sour soup fish, zheergen, and thousands of hot pot varieties.
South China's snail noodles, Guilin rice noodles, tortoise jelly, coconut chicken, Wenchang white-cut chicken, happy crab, and a rich and exquisite Cantonese-style morning tea.
Stinky tofu, chopped pepper fish head, hot dry noodles, Wuchang fish, Xiangyang beef noodles, broth-braised noodles, spicy soup, Luoyang water feast, and Daokou roast chicken from the central China region.
East China region's oyster omelet, pineapple cake, three-cup chicken, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, lychee meat, pot-side paste, fish balls, clay pot soup, Nanchang rice noodles, steamed pork with rice flour, Hangzhou cuisine, Jiaxing rice dumplings, Ningbo rice balls, Jinhua ham, stinky mandarin fish, hairy tofu, Huainan beef soup, Taihe flat noodles, pan-fried buns, scallion pancakes, pork rib rice cakes, crab shell roe, salted duck, braised lion head, hairy crab, Xuzhou mutton soup, pancakes, Dezhou braised chicken, Linyi fried chicken, four-happiness meatballs.
North China's knife-cut noodles, fried pork, Pingyao beef, donkey meat hot pot, roast duck, fried noodles with soybean paste, braised pork, fried liver, soy milk, Goubuli steamed buns, hemp twists, pancakes, roast whole lamb, lamb, hand-pulled meat, pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, as well as iron pot salted fish cakes, smoked meat pancakes, cold noodles, white meat blood sausage, steamed white fish, three-piece bowl, ginseng chicken, Korean brazier, Harbin red sausage, sweet and sour pork, and grilled cold noodles.
For a moment, Xu Sichen's mind was filled with delicious dishes, and his mouth was watering.
Neither in her previous life nor in this life, she had ever had the opportunity to taste food from all over the country.
After rebirth, time was too tight and there was no time to travel around to collect local specialties. All I had were a few dishes from the eight major cuisines in high-end restaurants.
Moreover, because it is opened in another place, the taste of the restaurant is based on the taste of local people, and it has lost its own characteristics.
So when Xu Sichen heard Lao Huang's plan, he almost agreed with it wholeheartedly.
At this moment, the first floor of the cafeteria was full of people having meals. Xu Sichen then realized that it was time for the working lunch. No wonder she hadn't met many people when she was walking on the street before.
The new cafeteria is bright and clean, filled with fragrant aromas, and has plenty of air conditioning, making people feel hungry as soon as they enter.
In order not to disturb the people who were having dinner, the group entered through the side door and went straight upstairs.
Seeing that there were more than thirty steps on that floor, Xu Sichen turned to Han Xiaogang and said, "Let someone design the location of the elevator."
Han Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wei Mingliang and asked doubtfully, "Is there an elevator in the warehouse?"
Wei Mingliang was also a little confused. As Xu Sichen's caring little brother, he naturally wouldn't say no: "Yes, I forgot to tell you."
The decoration of the first, second and third floors is almost identical, with a steel-structured ceiling embedded with lighting tubes and large central air-conditioning, a long row of food delivery windows and an almost completely transparent kitchen.
The rest are all sky blue dining chairs, which are arranged without wasting any space and at the same time do not appear crowded.
The styles of the fourth and fifth floors are completely different. There is a storefront along the wall, with dining tables and chairs in the middle, giving it the feeling of a pre-apocalyptic snack bar.
"There are sixty storefronts on both floors combined. I divided them up based on the local cuisine." Old Huang came up breathlessly and introduced to Xu Sichen, "Boss, I just wanted to collect local delicacies for the base. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll have them removed immediately."
Old Huang felt a little nervous.
Before the end of the world, he always wanted to build a food kingdom with delicacies from all over the world, but before he could take action, the end of the world came.
So after the new canteen at the base was built, he couldn't help but put forward his own ideas.
Although the base commander had made it clear that he was fully responsible for the decoration of the new cafeteria, he still felt a little uneasy about making such a design without the base commander's consent.
Xu Sichen's eyes lit up as he asked, "Not right? What's wrong? This is simply too perfect, okay?"
Sixty food stalls, that means sixty local delicacies. She really wants this restaurant to open tomorrow.
Xu Sichen patted Lao Huang's shoulder and said seriously, "Lao Huang, your idea is really great. Your most important job in the future is to run this specialty food city. If you need anything, you can come to me directly."
