Food King [Interstellar]

The first officer turned his gaze to Jiang Tang, with a puzzled face, and asked, "Who is he?"

Jiang Tang hurriedly said: "Hello, Mr. Chief Mate! I was rescued by you just now. My name is Jiang Tang. Mr. Andre asked me to work in the kitchen."

"Oh, you were the one who sent the distress signal I received yesterday? You're the only one?" The first officer showed a sudden realization.

Jiang Tang nodded: "Yes, I posted it, and I'm the only one."

The first mate nodded in satisfaction: "You made this macaroni?"

Jiang Tang said, "Yes."

"Good job, do a good job." The first mate turned to Gail and said, "Gail, don't steal and play tricks in the future, just follow others. If I catch you cutting corners next time, you will die gone."

Gail's vest was sweating, and he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I will definitely work hard."

Satisfied, the first officer turned around, sat down and began to enjoy the delicious macaroni.In the past, there was only Gail in the big kitchen, and everyone had no way to compare, and they ate whatever they cooked. Now when there is a comparison, they find that Gail’s cooking is uneatable.The chief mate ate to his heart's content, and he was still thinking about whether to keep Jiang Tang, so that their diet would improve in the future.

The first officer was still eating outside, so Gail didn't dare to get angry with Jiang Tang, so he had to suppress his anger and instruct Jiang Tang to wash and chop vegetables.Jiang Tang yawned tiredly. His spirit has been tense these days and he hasn't had a good rest. Now that he is in a safe environment, as soon as he relaxes, he feels extra tired, and his upper and lower eyelids are involuntarily blurred. We were together, but he didn't dare to ask for a rest, he was sent to the fence, and he finished his work first.

Not long after, the first officer finished his meal, wiped his mouth clean, praised Jiang Tang, and scolded Gail by the way.As the only chef in the big kitchen, Gail usually has a very high status, but no matter how high he is, he is never higher than the first mate. Don's head went up.

After the first mate left, a robot came over, took away his dishes, and took them to the back to wash. The chores here are all robots, and the chef only needs to cook.Jiang Tang was handling the tomatoes. He scalded the tomatoes with boiling water, then tore the skins, chopped the tomatoes, and prepared to make tomato juice. Because of exhaustion, his efficiency became very poor, and he almost scratched his hand once.

Gail said impatiently: "Can you be faster? Sloths are faster than you! I am in charge of feeding more than 100 people by myself. Like you, do I still have to work?"

Jiang Tang cheered up quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm too tired." Gail was actually in charge of feeding more than 100 people by himself. Although there were robots to help with chores, it was hard enough. He used to only cook for more than 20 people , feel very hard.

But he soon discovered that his cooking was different from Gail's. He saw a menu on the wall listing his meals for the week: Macaroni on Mondays, sandwiches on Tuesdays, and toast on Wednesdays. , Thursday is pizza, Friday is hamburger, Saturday is mashed potatoes, and Sunday is richer, steak and vegetable salad.Basically, it is mainly fast food. It is estimated that some of them are frozen and can be taken out and reheated when you want to eat. No wonder Gail is busy alone.

Today is Monday, eat Macaroni.Looking at the amount of tomatoes he handled, Jiang Tang asked, "Do you only make macaroni with tomatoes?"

Gail said angrily: "Otherwise? I cook meals for more than 100 people by myself, and you still want me to cook other tricks for them?"

Jiang Tang found that Gail's understanding of cooking is completely different from his own. Gail thinks that cooking is a task, and it's fine if he can make it. He thinks that cooking is a creative art. Winning compliments from diners is the greatest honor.Jiang Tang asked: "I just saw that there is beef in the storage room, can you make a beef macaroni?"

Gail looked at Jiang Tang impatiently: "Why are you so annoying, beef is used to make steaks!"

Jiang Tang said: "It seems that there is also beef brisket. Is the beef brisket also used to make steak?"

Gail almost wanted to throw the knife in his hand at Jiang Tang to make him shut up, he gritted his teeth and threw the knife on the cutting board: "Okay, do what you like!"

Jiang Tang probably understood why Gail was bothering him so much, probably because he was afraid that he would rob him of his job, so he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gail, I didn't mean to make trouble. It's just that Mr. Andre said that I'm the only one who works for you." He will let me off the boat only if everyone is satisfied. I want to go back soon, please forgive me."

Hearing Jiang Tang's words, Gail glanced at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Jiang Tang nodded: "Really. I want to go home."

Gail's anger subsided a little bit. Since he didn't come to steal his job, there was no threat. He stared at Jiang Tang for a while, and said, "Just do it if you want it. Anyway, you have to do it in enough quantity." OK."

Jiang Tang laughed: "I promise to complete the task." Jiang Tang took out the beef brisket to defrost, then stewed the beef brisket in a pressure cooker, cut it into small pieces, added onions to make a sauce, and put the cooked macaroni among them. Toss in the sauce and sprinkle with spices like black pepper and rosemary.

Gail smelled the intriguing fragrance, took a little with a spoon and tasted it first, and then said to Jiang Tang: "The macaroni I made will be served first, and yours will be served later."

At this time, the crew gradually came in, and everyone waited in line for dinner.Gail arranged for the robot to cook rice, and the diner looked at the tomato-cooked macaroni in the bowl, and muttered, "Why is this again?" Very rare, this time Gail did not reply. Will shout, "If you don't like to eat, do it yourself!"

The people in front finished eating the macaroni cooked by Gail, and the people behind saw the brisket macaroni and said, "What changed? What is this? Gail, you're not studying dark dishes again, are you?" "

Gail's eyes widened: "I don't like to eat it, I will eat it myself."

Of course, no one refused to eat. The first person who had the beef brisket and macaroni sat down at the table, casually picked up a piece of beef brisket and put it in his mouth. He took another mouthful of macaroni, and then took another big mouthful. It was indeed not an illusion. The taste was completely different from what he had eaten in the past. What happened to Gail today? He performed super-level.

Others also tasted the beef brisket macaroni and began to discuss: "Why is today's macaroni so delicious? It's completely different from usual."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's so delicious, hehe, the old guy Gail finally cooked for us with his heart today."

The person who scored the tomato macaroni in front said, "What's different? It's not the same as usual."

"Your one is the same, but ours is different." The person who said this did not lift his head, and buried his head in bitterness.

His companion dubiously picked a bit from his plate and tasted it, and couldn't help but swear: "Shit! Why did Gail let the people in front of us eat shit like food! Hurry up and change it for me A black pepper macaroni!" He said and rushed to the window to find Gale in exchange for a meal.

Soon, people who had the same idea as him surrounded the dining window, and everyone strongly demanded to change the meal.Gail clenched his fists, knowing that this would happen: "Why are you arguing, forgot what Mr. Andre said? Don't waste food! Everyone can only eat once!"

People crowded at the window yelled: "Gail, this is not fair, why do we have to eat such a terrible meal, they eat such delicious food, you have to treat them fairly, half the same!"

Looking at the excited crowd, Gail didn't dare to provoke them anymore, so he could only say, "I don't know which one is better. Well, it can only be like this at noon, and I will arrange it like this in the evening."

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they heard that they could still eat two kinds of macaroni in the evening, so they broke up cursing, and some people went to grab food from their close friends. At noon that day, the whole cafeteria was very lively. Everyone and Gail Requirements, tonight also eat beef brisket and macaroni.For the crew on this ship, eating was just a routine, but now it has become a kind of expectation because of the beef brisket and macaroni.

Watching the last person leave, Gail let out a long breath, and said to Jiang Tang, "This is all caused by you!"

Jiang Tang looked at Gail and laughed. Eating is a great pleasure in life, why not enjoy it.He yawned and said, "I'll help you tonight. Mister Gale, can I have a rest?"

Gail said, "No! We have to prepare dinner before it's too late."

It seems that Gail is busy in the kitchen from morning to night every day, and has no time to rest. No wonder his temper is so grumpy. Jiang Tang said: "Now there are two people, and the efficiency is doubled. Let's take a rest. I really I can't hold it anymore, let me rest for two hours, and I will make dinner when I wake up."

Gail looked at Jiang Tang, as if he would fall to the ground and fall asleep in the next moment: "Then rest for an hour."

Jiang Tang said, "Where is my dormitory?"

"You still want to go to the dormitory to sleep? Just lay down here casually, so as not to get up." Gail said.

Jiang Tang had no choice but to find a chair in the corner, leaning against the wall and took a nap.Just as it was sweet and sweet, Gail rudely woke him up to make dinner. Jiang Tang opened his eyes and looked at Gail in front of him. He didn't recover for a while, and said in a daze, "What's the matter?"

Gail said, "Dinner is ready, get up and work."

Jiang Tang wiped his face: "Oh, okay, I'll come right away."

Gail suddenly asked Jiang Tang with some embarrassment: "Well, what about the beef brisket?"

Jiang Tang found out that he actually asked him how to cook without hiding it, so he told him what to do.The beef brisket and macaroni in the evening was made by Gail. Under Jiang Tang's guidance, Jiang Tang made a macaroni with ham.

During dinner, the normally lazy crew members were particularly active, for fear that they would not be able to eat beef brisket and macaroni if ​​they were late.Originally, it was agreed that dinner could be served differently, but the crew all swarmed to order beef brisket and macaroni, while Jiang Tang’s ham macaroni was not popular.

Jiang Tang was still busy in front of the stove, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, he turned his head and saw that it was Jenny calling him: "Hey, are you okay?"

Jiang Tang nodded: "Well, it's not bad. Mr. Jenny is here for dinner?"

Jenny said, "Just call me Jenny. Did you do any of this?"

Jiang Tang pointed to the ham macaroni: "I made this."

Jenny said: "Give me one, and I will try your handicraft."

"Okay." Jiang Tang personally served Jenny a ham and macaroni.

Jenny put a slice of ham into his mouth with a fork, and gave Jiang Tang a thumbs up: "It's delicious."

Jiang Tang laughed: "Thank you."

Those crew members who didn't know Jiang Tang heard Jenny's words, and became a little curious about the ham and macaroni. The next few people asked for half of the ham and macaroni.Then I found that the deliciousness has reached a new level, and everyone clamored that it is better than beef brisket macaroni.

Although the beef brisket and macaroni rice noodles recommended by Jiang Tang are not as delicious as the noon ones, they are still quite delicious. The crew members were satisfied with the meal, but they heard that the ham macaroni rice noodles are better than the beef brisket macaroni rice noodles. I was cheated again, but I can't blame Gail for this. They could have played both, but they gave up the opportunity by themselves.

But they also learned from Jenny that there is a new chef in the kitchen, and the delicious food is made by the new chef. In the future, when cooking, ask first, which one is made by the new chef, and the taste is sure to be right. .

In this way, Jiang Tang became popular among the crew, and the food he made was very popular among the crew.Strange to say, those people haven’t eaten many meals made by Jiang Tang, but every time they taste a meal, they know whether it’s Gail or Jiang Tang’s. This made Gail very frustrated. He had tried his best to learn from Jiang Tang, but he was still not as good as him.

Andre was very bored that day, so he asked Jenny, "How is that Jiang Tang doing?"

Jenny thought of the wonton noodles this morning, and licked his lips with aftertaste: "Mr. Andre, Jiang Tang is doing very well, and his cooking is very popular."

Andre raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Oh, really? What did you do?"

"I do all of them. But he is good at cooking Chinese food. The wontons I ate this morning taste really good." Jenny swallowed his saliva as he spoke.

Andre was very interested: "Really? Then ask him to make a copy for me, and don't tell him that I want it."

"Okay, sir, I'll go right away." After speaking, Jenny bowed and bowed to leave.
