Chapter 211 Academician Zhao, Who Is Still Waiting to Be Fed
It was built in a circular shape and painted with a gradient of blue and white, giving it a fresh and clean look.
If Yunyang Island were to open to the public, this cafeteria would definitely become a must-visit spot, a perfect place for taking photos.
Not only has the exterior of the cafeteria changed, but the equipment inside has also been replaced with fully automated, high-tech systems, including food conveyor belts.
The kitchen is surrounded by transparent glass, allowing you to see everything inside at a glance, which makes it look much more upscale.
Furthermore, the menu has become more diverse, offering a variety of cuisines and desserts, satisfying every craving.
Not only that, the chefs on the first floor have all been replaced with multi-functional robots, and the original cooking team has been moved to the second floor.
However, before being assigned to the kitchen, they all underwent culinary training. It's no exaggeration to say that any one of the chefs in the kitchen could rival a five-star chef.
Above that is the private kitchen. Grandma Gu volunteered and secured a spot in the dining hall on the third floor. She's busy every day and couldn't be happier!
Upon learning all this, Gu Xinyan couldn't help but chuckle. Her grandmother just couldn't sit still. But having something to do could enrich her daily life. Otherwise, she would get bored squatting in the courtyard all day long.
After entering the cafeteria, the group went straight to the second floor, since the tables on the first floor were all individual, while the second floor had large round tables and private rooms.
After everyone sat down, making up three large tables, the people at those tables fell silent, staring expectantly at Gu Xinyan and her companions.
The people being watched: "........."
It's both funny and frustrating. These big shots are really like little kids right now, waiting for the adults to give them snacks.
However, none of them were idle. Gu Xinyan was in charge of taking the food out of the space, while Lu Yunting and the other three were in charge of serving dishes to the three tables.
The moment the food was taken out of the space, the entire second floor was filled with its aroma, making everyone unable to resist swallowing their saliva and keeping their eyes glued to the dishes.
"It smells so good! Just smelling this makes me think it's going to taste amazing!"
Academician Li smacked his lips, his eyes never leaving the dishes.
Everyone present nodded in agreement. They hadn't eaten dinner and were just waiting for this feast. Now, they were finally about to get their hands on it.
Amidst the eager gazes of the crowd, Gu Xinyan and the other four served the dishes to them, and everyone immediately began to eat.
They moved faster than anyone else, and for a moment, no one spoke in the cafeteria except for the clattering of bowls and chopsticks.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Gu Xinyan finally spoke up:
"We didn't just bring these this time, there's still a lot more in the space, enough for you to eat for several meals. Our ancestor packed up a lot for us this time!"
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered. In fact, everyone was very happy to be able to have this meal, after all, it was a dish from an authentic Qin Dynasty palace banquet.
In modern times, that's something you can't even get your hands on if you want to. They never imagined they could not only have one meal, but several. They were all instantly thrilled.
Among them, several academicians who study cultural relics are even happier, since the tomb of Qin Shi Huang has not yet been fully excavated.
They dared not excavate the main tomb, and many of the historical records that remained were destroyed or lost during the First Emperor's burning of books and burying of scholars.
When Gu Xinyan and her group went there this time, none of this had happened yet, so the various ancient books, historical records, and other materials they brought back were very rare and useful for their research.
During this period, they were researching materials from the Tang Dynasty. Whenever they saw other academicians working so hard, they were actually quite envious.
Although they had also studied the history of other worlds, that was a new field for them, and they even set up special research departments for each plane.
This will allow us to better understand these dimensions. Once we have thoroughly understood all the information, we will bind it into a book so that it can be widely distributed when it is released to the public in the future.
However, at this moment they are more interested in the Qin Dynasty, which was founded by the First Emperor.
After all, this was a dynasty they had studied for a long time, and now they were able to learn about it up close, which made them extremely happy.
"Gu girl, you wrote last time saying you brought back a lot of books and treasures, as well as all kinds of porcelain, hehe! Look?"
Academician Zhao rubbed his hands together and stepped forward with a big smile. He was incredibly excited at the thought of getting his hands on those ancient books from the Qin Dynasty.
After all, these are ancient books lost to the annals of history. He couldn't wait a moment longer; he wanted to get his hands on them immediately and then immerse himself in their study.
"Hey! You old Zhao, you're so old, yet you're still staying up all night doing research like a young person? Don't you even know what time it is!"
Seeing Academician Zhao's eagerness, Academician Li couldn't help but step forward and tease him.
Hmph! That old guy, whenever a treasure was unearthed before, he wouldn't even give him a second glance when he went to see it.
Now they're eagerly waiting for the treasure that Gu girl will bring back. It's true what they say, fortunes change. Let him show off a little, we'll have to make him envious.
"You old man Li, get out of here! You're allowed to be busy in your own courtyard, but not in ours? Go away! Many things from the history of the Qin Dynasty are missing, especially the ancient books; very few have survived."
"What Gu Yatou and the others brought back this time—it's finally come to a perfect ending! How could I not be excited!"
Hearing his friend's teasing, Academician Zhao rolled his eyes at him inelegantly.
That old Li is really petty. It's just that he wasn't allowed to see those unearthed artifacts before, and he still holds a grudge about it now.
Hmph! So what if he stays up all night? He's at the third level of Qi Refining now, he's even cultivating immortality, can't he stay up all night?
He eats very well now and is in great health. It's no exaggeration to say that he can stay up for three consecutive nights without taking a nap.
Old Li! He's just envious, yes! That's right! He's definitely envious of their cultural relics research institute's huge success this time! They don't have any fresh blood coming in this time, especially in weapons research.
After giving himself a good talking-to, Academician Zhao looked at Gu Xinyan with a smug smile.
Those hungry, eager eyes gave Gu Xinyan goosebumps.
