"Okay, 10,000 bags of premium pearl rice have been added to your shopping cart." The robot "Little Bee" smiled without changing its expression.
"High-gluten flour, cornmeal, soybean flour... all kinds of mixed grain flour, ten thousand bags of each."
"receive."
"Cooking oils, peanut oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and that kind of blended nutritional oil, all packaged in the largest containers, five thousand containers of each."
"receive."
Qin Ye was already numb.
He watched as the robots effortlessly swept a small mountain of rice, flour, and cooking oil into their virtual shopping carts, feeling like he was dreaming. Back in the army, to save a little oil, the cook would shake the oil drums upside down. But here, his wife bought oil by the "thousand drums."
"Let's go to the meat section." Su Tang tugged at Qin Ye, who was still in a daze.
The temperature in the meat section was noticeably lower, and rows of huge freezers were neatly arranged with various kinds of meat that had been perfectly cut and vacuum-packed.
“Look, pork.” Su Tang pointed to a packaged piece of pork belly and said to Qin Ye, “The pigs here are raised in a sterile environment with the most scientific feed, so there are no germs at all. And look at this fat-to-lean ratio, it’s all been genetically selected to be the golden ratio most suitable for making braised pork.”
Looking at the piece of pork belly that could be described as a work of art, Qin Ye recalled the small amount of pork with a large piece of fat that his unit could only get during the Chinese New Year. Every time, the soldiers would eat it with their mouths full of oil, as if it were a great blessing.
He swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "This... must be quite expensive, right?"
"Little Bee, bring me... 5,000 kilograms of each of these: pork belly, tenderloin, pig's trotters, and spare ribs." Su Tang answered him directly with her actions. Anyway, the space was infinitely large and could lock in freshness, so she wasn't worried about the food spoiling.
Qin Ye: "..." He chose to keep quiet.
Next, Su Tang led him in a massive sweep that Qin Ye would never forget.
Beef, categorized by cut: brisket, shank, ribeye, and sirloin, 500 kilograms of each.
500 kilograms each of mutton, lamb leg, and lamb chops.
Chickens, ducks, and geese, whole, 10,000 of each.
One hundred boxes of each of various processed and frozen fish and shrimp.
“Some meats are packaged using ‘dormant cell’ technology, which can keep them absolutely fresh for thirty years as long as the packaging is not opened. In addition, some pre-cooked foods come with heating packs, which can automatically heat up and cook the food by simply pulling them.” Su Tang picked up a package of braised beef and showed it to Qin Ye.
Qin Ye's eyes lit up.
He grabbed the bag of beef and examined it from all angles.
"No need to light a fire, no need for a pot, just a quick stir and you can have a hot meal?" Countless images flashed through his mind in an instant: soldiers lying in ambush in the snow, scouts on long-distance raids, troops on field training exercises...
If they had this, how much trouble would it save them? How many soldiers could have a hot meal during breaks in their missions?
This is no longer just simple food; it's a strategic resource!
If such strategic materials could have been developed in their time, the individual combat capability of each soldier could have increased exponentially!
