Chapter 21: Dining
After Gu Chen pulled Xiao Xiao away, he walked out of the conference room. Seeing that Xiao Xiao was still in a hurry, he could not help interrupting:
"Aren't you hungry? They are used to having one day without a meal, but you and I haven't eaten all day!"
Xiao Xiao was still very excited after being pulled out of the door. It was the first time she was recognized by a group of experts, so she was very excited!
"Huh? It's been a day already? Time flies so fast! It doesn't matter to me, you can take me home later, my house..."
Gu Chen heard that Xiao Xiao was going to refuse to eat together again, and hurriedly interrupted her:
"From here it will take more than an hour to go to the city, why don't you go back after eating at the restaurant here? In order to cooperate with the group of professors, the chefs here have three shifts, so that there are people who can help them cook at any time!"
Hearing this Xiao Xiao also understood that she could not leave this building if she doesn't eat something today. After she figured it out, she replied to Gu Chen:
"Since you highly recommend it, I'll try it!"
Anyway, it's not that you can't eat it. Just control your expression and don't get caught by Gu Chen.
Well, to make a vivid analogy, it is probably to eat white rice and cook it into porridge. There is a lot of water in the light porridge, and there is no seasoning. After the taste is blocked, Xiao Xiao bites the non-meat and only the taste is left. It is conceivable. It doesn't taste good after eating... but it has to be chewed, which is a bit difficult for Xiao Xiao. If she shows a disgusting expression and is misunderstood by Gu Chen, it will be bad.
Does anyone remember the gift box that Xiao Xiao brought into the car? Yes, the two thousand-year-old ginseng kings, although they can be called invaluable, but Xiao Xiao just got out of the car and really threw them directly into the car.
The Millennium Ginseng King said: Excuse me?
Xiao Xiao still wants to trouble Gu Chen!
But fortunately, the chefs at the observatory are still very powerful. According to Gu Chen, they are all apprentices dug from famous chefs. It is hard to say whether there is any water mixed in them. Anyway, hard power is passable.
As Gu Chen took the elevator to the first floor, Gu Chen took her to the door of the restaurant not far from the guard room, and introduced: "This is the staff restaurant, basically, in order to let everyone eat obediently, the original design was expensive. It took me a lot of thought!"
And the luxury level of this restaurant can be said to have shocked Xiao Xiao as soon as she entered the door.
Xiao Xiao didn't expect that the restaurant here is so splendid, and it serves a wide range of meals, from cheap braised pork rice, fried rice, fried noodles, Yangchun noodles, sauce noodles, wonton noodles, to high-end steak, pasta, stewed rice, light meals, seafood dishes, Chinese and Western styles are all available. The only fly in the ointment is the time limit.
The restaurant is set on the first floor, and a group of chefs changes every eight hours. The ingredients are provided by nearby farmlands and ranches, and there are even specific limited-time deliveries.
However, Xiao Xiao understands from this configuration that Gu Chen's so-called observatory is 80% deceptive! Men are really big hooves!
This is comparable to the luxurious lineup of a five-star hotel. She also know that this must be a secret base owned by Gu's family. When Xiao Xiao swept through it with her mental power, she also saw many guards with live ammunition, which was completely inconsistent with the appearance of the garrison.
Furthermore, they just arrived at the conference room on the basement floor, but the elevator seems to be able to continue down. All the conditions indicate that it is not easy to get here.
It's just that in Xiao Xiao's memory, they came out of K City and didn't go in this direction, and Gu Chen didn't do anything about this place, which is a bit strange.
It stands to reason that this kind of secret base was originally used to prevent evacuation in the event of certain disasters. Why didn't Gu Chen come over at that time?
Xiao Xiao guessed right. In fact, at that time, Gu Chen originally wanted to make a transfer here, and then return to the Gu family's site. Unfortunately, when they were leaving from K City at the beginning, due to the too many corpses in this direction, they were able to evacuate only in the opposite direction, so they ended up running to City Y, which is very far from the Gu family's base camp.
And Xiao Xiao didn't know that Gu Chen was already secretly planning to draw.
After all, if the disaster comes as Xiao Xiao said, then Xiao Xiao is a capital gold finger. With Xiao Xiao, many things can be much simpler.
Of course, Gu Chen believes in treating people with sincerity. He intends to use the method of establishing friendship to tie Xiao Xiao to his chariot. Taking Xiao Xiao to the secret base this time is one of the means.
The simple way is 'Look, I've shared my secrets with you, wouldn't it be boring if you didn't join us! '
Unfortunately, this is not destined to be successful, but Gu Chen's education cannot be difficult, and his character is still tough enough, so it is inevitable that he will return without success.
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Xiao never planned to go to the end of the world with Gu Chen again. Even the fortress she wants to build now is just to establish a stronghold.
How to say that sentence, 'Our journey is the sea of stars and morning! "
But she has a kind of tortoise mentality, so even though she wants the waves to fly, the tortoise shell still needs to be made, so she wants to build a small defense base for herself.
Looking at the large menus above his head, Gu Chen explained to Xiao Xiao:
"This time period is very good, it is the time when two batches of chefs are handed over, and it is like this during normal three meal times, so there will be two-thirds of the time meals can be served."
For reference, you can order whatever you want. Now the orange menu and the green menu are available, but the blue menu is not. "
In this three-shift arrangement, each shift is 8 hours, and then each shift overlaps for one hour as meal time.
Each shift uses a different menu, which is divided according to time. This arrangement will best make the group become immortal. The researchers of the group were obedient to eat at the time of the day, and some chose everyone to be more punctual.
Xiao Xiao looked at the menu and was very sad to find that most of the western-style meals were on the blue one, which means that the steak was not served at this time point.
So Xiao Xiao looked at the other two with hope, and finally saw all kinds of nigiri sushi and sashimi at the bottom of the orange menu, Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up immediately.
Gu Chen, who was sitting on the side, followed Xiao Xiao's line of sight and saw that it was an orange block. He smiled slightly: "You don't need to pay for your ID card to eat here. You can order whatever you want!"
Xiao Xiao said, this is really possible!
Since then, Xiao Xiao really used her actions to express what it means to be rude.
"Master! This, this, five servings of bonito, yellowtail, tuna, salmon, and snapper sashimi!"
You know, although Xiao Xiao doesn't have to pay, these sashimi are the most expensive on the list the group!
In addition to the professors eating here at no cost, the guards, other teaching assistants, or other staff members can also eat here. It costs money, so the price is marked on the menu.
"Five servings? Little girl, it's not good for your health to eat only sashimi. Why don't you have one serving each and replace the rest with nigiri sushi?" Now sitting at the window is a man who looks in his thirties and is slightly fatter. A middle-aged man with a very kind smile and a white chef hat on his head.
"Our rice is also specially selected rice! The Q bombs are strong, the particles are distinct but extra dense. We made this with specially blended oil and vinegar! The craftsmanship taught by the teacher is good!"
Xiao Xiao knew that no matter how delicious it was, she couldn't eat it, so she wanted to eat sashimi. You must know that although K City is near the sea, it is only relative! There are very few places to sell sashimi, and she don't know how sanitary it is!
Gu Chen saw that Xiao Xiao was not interested in the sushi chef's proposal, so he had no choice but to say: "Do as she said, I want a set meal of pine flowers, tea bowl steaming, two servings of tempura, and then a combined one sashimi."
Hearing Gu Chen's biased words, the sushi chef had no choice but to say: "Okay! Young people these days, they really don't care about their own bodies, sit down for a while and come right away!"
Seeing the sushi chef turn around and start preparing, Gu Chen looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "You only eat sashimi? Is it okay for your body?"
Although Gu Chen did not change his color to girls because of his personality, he was very concerned about some basic sashimi. He still understand physiological knowledge, let alone girls, an ordinary person can't stand eating so much raw and cold food, let alone Xiao Xiao, a girl!
"Didn't you say you want a treat? I just like to eat sashimi!" Xiao Xiao said that it was rare to have such a delicious meal for her, so she didn't plan to eat those foods with strange tastes, when she thought of her live without love.
Tempura, sushi, hand rolls, steamed eggs, rice bowls, salmon rice, and rice balls said: No, no, we don't carry this pot!
You know, Xiao Xiao used to be a foodie, until that day, when she woke up and found that she could only taste the taste from raw meat, she didn't know how valuable it was to have a normal sense of taste!
You know, from the day she woke up, eating normal food is torture for her, and now she can last for three days, she tries to avoid eating out, and only eats medium rare steak.
This is also the reason why she has always wanted to refuse Gu Chen's meal appointment.
