Ilan was lying on the bed in his dormitory at Tudo University, lazily sucking on nutrients, thinking of Luo Qianqian's vow never to eat any nutrients containing apples after the military training, and a smile could not help but appear on his face. Their team passed the test smoothly in this military training, and the scores they got were good, and everyone also had a good impression of each other, and agreed to have the opportunity to meet again at Tudo University. However, classes are about to start normally, and everyone has their own busyness, so it's not so easy to meet in such a big school.

She breathed a sigh of relief, just let it be. Nothing is more important to her than survival. She'll have to take a good look at the class schedule and get ready for that job at the Z District restaurant.

On October 3, 38796, the first day of classes for new students. According to the curriculum of the Department of Agriculture, first-year students all attend classes together in the morning and complete their homework on their own in the afternoon. The reason for this arrangement is that there is a large amount of homework, there are individual assignments, group assignments, and various virtual competitions on the Star Network. The curriculum for the second year is roughly the same. In the third and fourth grades, there are still large classes in the morning, and in the afternoon, I mainly practice learning in the research topics of each teacher to determine my future specialization. In the fifth and sixth grades, students begin to subdivide their majors, take professional classes in the morning, practice in the junior college project team in the afternoon, and complete their own projects independently in the seventh grade.

By the time Ilan drove the hovercar to his classroom, there were already quite a few people coming. Her student ID among the freshmen in the Department of Agriculture is D35, and the student ID represents the overall ranking. There are 300 freshmen in the Department of Agriculture this year, which is quite a lot for this remote major. Students are ranked every 50 people in a grade, which are A, B, C, D, E, F, and are re-ranked every academic year, and the top students can be given priority to various competitions and internship opportunities, especially the priority recommendation for employment and higher education, and the ranking is also an incentive mechanism for students. Elan's student number indicates that she belongs to the middle and lower levels of freshmen, but she says she is very acceptable.

The seats are distributed in order according to the student number, in fact, there is a virtual panorama during the class, which means that no matter which seat you sit, the physical feeling you get is no different. This is nothing more than to motivate students, sit down for one year, see each other well, and in the second year, a new face appears or they are reversed, which has a more or less alerting or spurring effect on everyone.

Yilan found his seat and sat down, the first class only talked about some basic information about the Department of Agriculture, as well as the video introduction of the teachers, Yilan got to know a few classmates by the way. There was no homework in the afternoon, and all the freshmen were arranged to visit the practice base of the department, and Ilan was happy to learn that he could get paid to participate in the practical activities of each project team, but unfortunately the first and second year students did not have to practice. Despite this, she couldn't help but be happy, which is equivalent to the cost of living after the third grade. After the visit, the students dispersed early.

Yilan remembered going to the restaurant in Zone Z, and was afraid that it would be delayed when he returned to the dormitory, and he didn't know how much time it would take on the road on the first day of work, so he rushed to it directly.

The more she flew into Zone Z, the more Ilan was amazed. Look what she saw. The city is a large area of buildings, square high-rise buildings with white walls and black tiles, similar buildings of the Hui style, and small bridges and flowing graceful manors surrounded by towering Gothic bunkers. There are actually layers of palaces, why half of them are Ming and Qing winds, half of them are Islamic styles, and why the exterior walls of the buildings are made of metal, she simply can't stand the twisted pure metal towers accompanied by bamboo and wood stilted buildings. Flying over this huge and dazzling urban agglomeration, Ilan felt relieved, too challenging her mediocre aesthetic. She thought that this must be the Department of Architecture, and it might be a practice base. Today, the practice base of the Department of Agriculture is also quite comprehensive and mixed, with mountains, rivers, woodlands, plains, lakes, everything.

The urban agglomeration is followed by treacherous mountains, then endless deserts, strange-looking rock formations, and grasslands, with the artistic conception of cattle and sheep blown by the wind. It's just that in the afterimage of the hovercar speeding by, she didn't see cattle and sheep, she saw a group of Ultramans. Ilan's knowledge is much broader than when he first walked out of the orphanage, this is a mecha. She leaned excitedly against the car window, just in time to see the funny appearance of Ultraman walking with his cat's waist. Maybe she was looking for something, she thought to herself.

There were so many surprises along the way that she couldn't even react when the hovercar landed on the parking lot. This is the place where there is a hemispherical dome building in front of me, which looks very ordinary. However, the parking lot is huge, and it seems that there are still people coming to eat.

Ilan stood still and calmed down, the time on the communicator showed that it was only half past four, which was still a little earlier than the normal work time. After thinking about it, she still dialed the contact number of the restaurant in District Z, briefly explained the situation to the other party, and walked to the door and waited patiently.

Five minutes later, a tall middle-aged man walked out.

"Tong Yilan?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

Ilan nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he stretched out his hand: "My name is Yeri, the head nutritionist of the restaurant in District Z, and you are welcome to come." ”

"Hello, Mr. Yeri." Ilan also quickly reached out to shake it back.

"Come with me and I'll give you a briefing. Zone Z cafeteria, responsible for the mecha team's nutritious meals. Do we know about the mech team at Tudo University? Oh, I don't know yet, it doesn't matter, the school currently has fifteen teams, two or three for each grade, composed of a mix of elite students from various departments, all of whom live in the Y area next door, so it is convenient to come here to train. There are generally thirty people in each team, mainly children of the mecha operation department, of course, there are some other departments, all related to mecha anyway. You'll be familiar with these later. ”

Mr. Yerry didn't stop, and said as he walked, "Do you see this door?" You can't go, it's the gravity simulation field, where the mech team trains, you're physically D-class, right? I read it on **. The minimum requirement to enter the gravity simulation field is a level of physical fitness, otherwise the body will be damaged. Remember? Don't go. ”

"Come, take a tour of our kitchen, you will have to get acquainted with all the pots and pans within a month. Don't worry, I'll let Xiao Shen teach you, he is my apprentice, and he is very patient. He's not there yet. Let's start with a little bit about what you do. After you learn to use pots and pans, you have to handle the ingredients according to my method, which is the pre-processing of various ingredients of nutrients. Don't be afraid, I'll give you something simple at first, so let's get started. ”

"Your working hours are from five to seven o'clock in the afternoon, you have fifteen minutes of working meals, and we provide working meals here, which are special nutrients that we make ourselves, the kind for the mecha team, believe me, it is definitely better than what is sold outside. The training time of the mech team is not fixed, usually after the training is over, they have to replenish their physical fitness, and the restaurant has to serve them around the clock, but the distribution of nutrients to them is served by the catering machine, so there is no need to worry. ”

"Oh, sometimes they come in to celebrate or something, and they need a special meal, you know what I mean? Not a nutrient, it's a special meal, a real meal! It doesn't matter, they will make an appointment in advance. Hey, Xiao Shen is here? Xiao Shen come here, here. Ilan, it's okay for me to call you that, but is there anything else you don't know right now? ”

Ilan shook her head involuntarily, she didn't have a chance to interject at all, and she had been listening to Yeri's gushing all the way. After Yeli introduced Yilan and Xiao Shen to each other, Xiao Shen was a very gentle young man, and first led Yilan to eat a working meal, and then chatted a few words, before he began to introduce the situation of the restaurant in Zone Z and the use of various pots and pans.

It turns out that the door of the so-called gravity simulation field has a special special attention. It's not just a door, it's a bit like any door in Doraemon, of course, it's not that magical, any door can lead to any space-time location, it leads to an alien domain specially opened up by the school using space technology, called the gravity simulation field, which is actually a training ground used by the mecha team to train star walking. The cities, mountains, deserts, and grasslands that Ilan passes through along the road are all mecha field training grounds with their own characteristics.

Xiao Shen also reminded Yilan that she is a novice now, and it is best not to drive the hovercar manually, if she mistakenly enters the airspace of the training ground, it is a very bad and dangerous thing. Because the actual combat drills of the mecha team sometimes carry virtual weapons, so as not to shoot down the hovercar, but it is certain that they will be greatly frightened. The autonomous driving route given by the school's intelligent navigation system is equipped with a protective cover in the Z area, which is absolutely safe.

Today's shock of Elan is destined to be one after another.

She has always known that kitchen utensils are very high-end, but she never knew that they were actually high-end to such a perverted Cheng dù. Xiao Shen asked for her contact number, sent her a lot of information, and said: "These are the manuals of each kitchenware, the construction drawing, the use method and the maintenance points are all in it, I will talk about every kitchenware here, and you can take it back and take a look at it." We have a lot of people to eat here, and there are hundreds of people at each meal during the season training, so the equipment is focused on capacity, and the appearance is not delicate enough, but the variety is still complete, and the basic functions can be satisfied. ”

He looked a little embarrassed, as if to say that these are big road goods, not enough for the collector's edition. Ilan's eyes are straight, and the cleaning alone is divided into seventeen or eighteen modes, the water level, temperature, pressure, light, vibration and rotation methods are all stipulated, and the terminal also has a specific indicator meter, and those who do not meet the standard will automatically return to the entrance and start again. A washing machine is powerful, but the appearance is beautiful and simple, and the whole body is fresh and smooth, if these are not delicate enough, then what is the black pan she used in her previous life? The hand-polished pig iron block of the iron shop, welded with two hanging ears, the solder joints are still bulging, what is that? Original tool?

She had never had the opportunity to see the kitchen, but because she knew earlier that the kitchenware was highly intelligent, she originally came to the Z District restaurant with the mentality of going to work at McDonald's in her previous life, thinking that she would definitely learn to operate various function buttons, but the height of her psychological construction was obviously far from enough, this was not dealing with ingredients, and she had to come up with the attitude of concocted medicinal materials to study carefully and meticulously.

She followed Xiao Shen step by step, listened to his detailed explanation, watched him actually operate, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Brother Shen, I see that these are all automatic, even if you have to choose different modes, you can do it, why ......?"

"Why do you need us?" Xiao Shen smiled and replied, "Because cooking is a complex art. It not only provides energy, but also gives the human organism a sense of happiness and contentment. When I say that, you may not be able to relate to it. Look at this steamer, it can be done with one button from beginning to end, but a nutritionist will not do this, after the pre-steaming is completed, he will decide the next operation according to the indicators, sometimes the smell or appearance, in order to achieve the best balance of nutrition and taste. These are based on very nuanced trade-offs that no one can do, which is why every dietitian has his or her own set of experience and understandings of each ingredient. ”

Yilan understands it, it's like a fully automatic washing machine, but some people like to wash step by step, set their own soaking time, wash separately if the color is slightly different, and then put a piece of rinsing when it's over, the pursuit of the best laundry quality. All in all, all dietitians, or by extension, culinary practitioners like her, must have the skills of an instrumental analyst in the real yàn room, as well as the cultivation of the head of the imperial kitchen, Dae Jang Geum.

When she said goodbye to Xiao Shen in a daze and got on the hovercar to go back, she kept reminiscing about today's qiē, feeling that the world was so high, and it really kept refreshing her understanding.

She was still holding a few sticks of special nutrients in her hand, which were the breakfast and lunch that Xiao Shen gave her, and he said this: "Master Yeli thinks that after the staff working in the restaurant in Zone Z have eaten the nutrients we make ourselves, they can't lower their style and eat ordinary nutrients anyway, otherwise it will be easy to smell and be bad for work." "She liked Mr. Yeri's style so much.

What a happy day.
