Chapter 15: Eat After Work***
After working half a shift on the farm in the morning, An Chen still worked in the satellite general control room for seven and a half hours.
This length of time is usually based on the amount of work she has at hand. Because Anchen is the head of the satellite control team, she is not involved in direct monitoring and experiments, mainly in approving reports on various projects and helping others solve practical problems they encounter. And today it happened that everyone's work was going well, Anchen was able to get off work before nine o'clock in the evening, and wanted to find Michelin Marina and Ol Clara to go to the food stall in Tianshui Town next to it for supper, but before getting off work, I happened to see the minutes of the meeting sent by Bai Anka to the core members, and remembered that there was also an urgent matter of energy planning.
Since she has decided to let Luo Qingye run instead of Greco Chino, she has to be personally responsible for training Luo Qingye. And since you want to train Luo Qingye, you must first explain things to him clearly.
An Chen didn't think about the situation that Luo Qingye himself might not want to do at all. Because for the average person in the Bee Kingdom, it is an extremely glorious thing to be able to become the spouse of a nobleman, which is equivalent to changing his life in the true sense. There is such an opportunity, even if it is only an opportunity, and no one who has seriously considered it can turn it down.
Even for boys who have girlfriends, as long as they are told to run for election, they may become the head of a noble family, then as long as they still retain their "purity", I am afraid they will abandon their girlfriends and seize this opportunity. In fact, it is not about personal loyalty, but in traditional morality, serving the pope and other nobles is itself more "noble", and giving up one's self-interest in legally marrying among the people in favor of more noble self-realization, this will not only not be morally criticized, but will also be encouraged by society.
At 9:20 p.m., An Chen came to the No. 3 restaurant on the 60th floor of the Emperor's Sky Shield.
She didn't eat dinner, and by this time she felt that her blood sugar had dropped to a very low level. At this time, there are only some niche staples that everyone doesn't like to eat, such as molasses buns with starch skin and fried pollen cakes that have cooled. There aren't many stir-fried vegetables with flower petals left, and the only ones you can buy now are "low-calorie health foods" fried with leaves. But there's still a lot of meat left—and healthy food is always the most left.
Although animal meat and pollen have similar energy densities to humans, the nutrients in pollen are easier to absorb, so although the alkaloids contained in pollen may be mildly toxic, pollen-preferred humans are naturally selected. But in ancient times, wild flowers had a short flowering period, and for long days outside of flowering, the main source of energy for human tribes was the lipids obtained by hunting animals—mainly from subcutaneous fat and yellow bone marrow in bones.
In modern society with developed animal husbandry, one of the main purposes of raising mammalian livestock is to obtain subcutaneous fat and yellow bone marrow. It's just that subcutaneous fat is generally not directly bought and eaten, but refined into oil for daily cooking. Although the main component of yellow bone marrow is also fat cells, it is usually sold directly as the third largest staple food in addition to pollen and nectar, but wherever there are ingredients for sale, fresh yellow bone marrow can definitely be bought. In addition to the oil and yellow bone marrow, the rest of the livestock is some muscle and internal organs, which still taste a little, and the remaining muscle tissue contains almost only indigestible protein, which was rarely bought and eaten in the past.
Although from a nutritional point of view, a certain amount of protein intake can promote protein synthesis and be beneficial to health, objectively the energy supply effect of protein is not as good as sugar and lipids, so it is reasonable for people to instinctively dislike it. It was only after the Industrial Revolution that excessive caloric intake gradually became a health problem for some people, and nutritionists called for everyone to replace lipids with protein.
However, the original meaning of "nature" is difficult to change. The dishes with yellow bone marrow in the restaurant are long gone, and there are few offal products left, but there are still a lot of those big muscles left, but An Chen feels that he has no appetite when he sees it.
Anchen is not a person who likes to eat healthy. When it comes to animal muscle products, she still likes royal jelly the most.
The so-called royal jelly is a wax condensed after royal jelly is filtered, and royal jelly is actually the "nutritional supplement" of the queen bee in the larval stage of the wasp. The larval stage of wasps cannot synthesize all kinds of amino acids and therefore must be obtained from food. Common wasp larvae eat mammalian meat directly from the adults, while future queen bee larvae need to eat finer food. Therefore, when raising the next generation of queen bees, the drones in the colony, who are not responsible for foraging, will store the meat pieces mixed with nectar in the honey sac and ferment until the protein is broken down into a mixture of amino acids and short peptides before feeding the queen larvae, which is called royal jelly.
Royal jelly made of royal jelly is also a delicacy for humans. However, there are only so many drones in each colony, and if royal jelly is collected by unscrupulous means, it will inevitably affect the development of the new queen. Therefore, the agricultural law of the bee kingdom specifically stipulates that the people cannot harvest royal jelly privately, resulting in a very low production of royal jelly, which is usually only supplied to the royal palace and various noble families.
Chewing on the hard corned beef, Anchen couldn't help but miss Marina's food a little.
The royal jelly of the Minister of Agriculture's house is the finest, as clear as jelly made of honey. The royal jelly is shaved into small flowers and mixed with the fried pollen, and she can eat this kind of fried rice to her heart's content. However, Marina's difficult little ghost also complained that the Michelin family's dishes were not up to date enough, and it seemed that everything would only be cherished if it was lost.
However, the content of the meal is just a matter of personal preference for An Chen, and he should hurry up and chat with Luo Qingye about business while eating.
She pulled out the public display from the drawer under the dining room table, and when she woke up, it automatically connected to Anchen's smart bracelet, which was the nearest one.
With the development of wireless technology, the Internet has been covered everywhere there is land. Most public places in the bee kingdom are equipped with many public displays, which is to facilitate people to connect their smart bracelets and have larger touch screens to handle daily affairs.
In non-profit public places such as roadsides, stations, squares, etc., public display screens are usually charged for traffic metering; Displays in workplaces, restaurants, shopping malls, etc., are generally free to try. There are also people who like to carry a smaller display with them in case they need it, but because public displays are now quite common, fewer and fewer people have such a habit.
An Chen habitually glanced at his email again, and after confirming that there was no email from work, he clicked on the "Yuanyin" app and sent a video request to Luo Qingye.
