Chapter 57 Optimal Solution
After Gu Chen put down the things in his hand, he collapsed on the sofa full of dirty clothes, and slumped there on all fours.
The closed door creaked open, and a teenager stepped out.
He was not tall, looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, wore a gray hooded sweatshirt, and had brown hair. After the young man walked out of the room, he only glanced at Vina calmly and walked straight to get the ingredients that Gu Chen brought back, and then walked towards the kitchen, from beginning to end, except for the casual glance, he simply regarded Vina as air.
Vena was a little surprised, was this indifferent young man the one behind Gu Chen who saw through his identity?
But it seems that he is just an ordinary person who doesn't like to talk, and with such a small grade, Su Qiannuo may be a little older than him.
"I'd like to introduce you, Kashiwaganigawa, my partner, who is in charge of cooking and intelligence gathering and analysis."
"Cooking?"
"Uh... In fact, cooking is the main business, let me tell you, don't look at him all day long as he looks like he has just fallen out of love, Xiao Chuanzi's craftsmanship is very good, and... The first time I watched him cook, I guarantee you'll drop your jaw! ”
Vina was a little speechless, just cooking, what was there to see, but she should have walked slowly to the kitchen door, after all, the purpose of Vena's trip was to meet this person.
He quietly watched the back of the boy named Kashiwatanigawa, and before he knew it, Vena's attention shifted from his body to the pots and pans.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Her Majesty the great Queen Hanina has suddenly changed her personality and is going to change from a battlefield woman to a little family woman, she is just attracted by the rhythm of Kashiwatanigawa's cooking.
Is there a rhythm to cooking? Vina hadn't been in the kitchen, let alone cooked, so she didn't know, but she really felt a sense of rhythm now.
From the handling of ingredients, to frying, cooking, and putting them on the plate, cooking is as simple as it is complex. Even if it is just a simple home-cooked meal, there are no less than dozens of processes involved in it.
These steps are sorted by the thinking logic of ordinary people, which is nothing more than according to the order, washing the ingredients, preliminary processing, preparing various seasonings, cooking on the fire, and putting them out of the pot and on the plate.
Taking the common four-dish and one-soup specification as an example, it takes at least an hour for a person to be quick from beginning to end.
But it only took Kashiwatani Kawa just twenty minutes to complete everything......
It wasn't because he had superb knife work, or any excellent cooking skills, but in fact his hand speed was not only not fast, but even a little slow, at least he could also cut a potato into shreds, and when Kashiwagayagawa finished cutting one, an ordinary woman of the year round could complete at least one and a half speeds.
But he is extremely efficient, there is not a single superfluous action from beginning to end, and the time is accurate to the second, each process is perfectly connected to the next one, and there will never be a situation where the water is not boiling when the prepared ingredients can be put into the pot.
If you remove the setting of cooking, ignore the kitchen scene, and just look at Kashiwatani's movements, you will find that in these twenty minutes, he is moving at a constant speed every second, and there is no pause in the whole body, and there is no acceleration in a second, if he needs to beat the eggs next, then his route must be a straight line from the refrigerator to the stove, and there will never be a situation where he finds that he still needs a whisk and then turns back halfway, but it is just cooking, but he uses space and time to the extreme! It was as if the moment he stepped into the kitchen, his brain had already programmed the next things to order and optimize!
All he had to do was run the "program" from start to finish......
"Assembly line..."A word suddenly sprung up in Vina's mind, and only that word could describe everything she saw.
Before Vena came to her senses, Kashiwatani had already put all the food on the table and walked back to her room with her own food. From the time he went out, cooked, and returned to his room, he didn't say a word.
"How's it going, is it fun?" Gu Chen had already guessed that Vena must have this expression.
"That's what he's always done?" Vina was a little incredulous, this did greatly improve the efficiency, but it was also too tiring, it was just a stir-fry, was it necessary to optimize the steps to such a delicate and precise level?
"He's not just cooking, he's doing everything that predicts the rehearsal process." Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.
"Predictive rehearsal... What do you mean? Vina couldn't react for a moment.
Gu Chen knocked on the plate on the table and said, "For example... When eating, he will calculate in advance the time from raising his hand to put the dish in his mouth, calculating the time from chewing to swallowing a piece of meat, and how long it will take for different dishes to cool down to the right temperature. ”
"It's... What's the use of that? "Vina was already shocked.
"Of course it works, I've never won him when grabbing meat at the dinner table!"
“......”
At the dinner table, the two of them ate quietly, Gu Chen didn't lie, the food made by Bai Guchuan was really colorful, fragrant, and naturally far worse than the skills of those first-class chefs, but in terms of home-cooked food, it was already very delicious, at least much stronger than the big pot rice in the orphanage, and Vina ate two more bowls than usual.
Eating and drinking, Gu Chen pushed the rice bowl with both hands, patted his butt and got up and walked away, there was no intention of cleaning up the mess at all, Vena looked at the surrounding environment, there was not much more dirty bowl, no less than one less.
She got up and walked to the door of Kashiwaganigawa's room, hesitating whether to go in.
After coming to Earth, even if her body has shrunk, Vina has always had a sense of superiority, and she believes that no one on Earth can compare with her in terms of status, civilization level, and experience.
But... Kashiwaganigawa, a teenager who hasn't even said a word, has already made Vena unconsciously face it.
At least she was hesitating if it would be wise to take the initiative to reach out to the other party like this......
While.. While.. While..
Vina knocked three times, but there was no response.
Just as she was about to knock again, Gu Chen's voice came.
"You don't need to knock when you enter his room, you can go in when he doesn't lock the door, you can't go in when you lock the door, you try to twist the doorknob to know his answer, you knock on the door like this and he won't pay attention to you until midnight."
"Why? Isn't it polite to knock on the door? ”
"It's very simple, because of the violation of his code of conduct, the rule of not answering any questions without nutrition." Gu Chen said helplessly, it was obvious that he was a chatter, but he lived with such a guy.
Vina thought about it, combined with the code of conduct of "predictable event process optimization", and understood why the normal etiquette of knocking on the door was abandoned by the other party.
Knocking, responding, entering, are three steps, and you need to speak.
Trying to open the door, two situations, open or locked, in or not in the way, are two steps and do not need to speak.
Which solution is more efficient, direct, time-saving, and labor-saving? Obvious......
Vina was not happy to be able to understand these lines of thought, and even had some trepidation, because she felt that it was a precursor to mental illness.
Vina tried to twist the doorknob, but there was no lock.
