[BL] The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

45-Proposals for Improvement

The smart robot did not receive the relevant instructions for this scenario, so it asked the long-legged soldier to wait a minute and went to the back kitchen to ask.

After considering it, Ruan Tang finally decided to agree to the soldier's request for seconds. After all, this trial run was to test the operational capacity of the canteen. Now, it was only two dishes and one soup. If they couldn't even meet the needs of this thousand people, how would they supply the entire army?

Unexpectedly, other people saw that the long-legged soldiers had successfully secured another meal and they all came over and returned for one more. Some even wanted to come back for the thirds or fourths. Wang Jun, Zhao Guangming and the others got even busier and they watched helplessly as the ingredients were almost used up. The canteen had to issue an announcement limiting each person to two servings. Those who wanted a third were resolutely rejected.

By any measure, this trial run was very successful. All the soldiers were satisfied, and they were full of praise for Wang Jun, Zhao Guangming and the others.

Ruan Tang summarized the results of the trial run and thought that there were two aspects that needed improvement.

First of all, was the problem of the dishes. There were too few dishes to choose from. The two dishes and one soup looked rather too few and limited. The funds allocated by the military to the canteen were quite sufficient. It wasn't a big problem to provide even ten dishes per meal. They would have to add some other dishes, otherwise, the self-service buffet would become quite monotonous.

His apprentices were determined not to fall short. In addition to their lesson these past few days, they also watched his broadcasts on the star network. They've even managed to copy some of the dishes. Ruan Tang believed that it won't be long before they could come out with more dishes, enriching the variety of the dining hall.

Second was the problem of too much work intensity. Although there were smart robots who were responsible for cutting ingredients and washing dishes, for Wang Jun and the others there was just too much work for the few of them. They were already so busy serving just a thousand people, what more when the dining hall was fully operational?

Ruan Tang thought that perhaps there was some way to replace the labor with smart robots. After all, there had been unmanned quick meal factories specializing in the production of supermarket meals during his past life. There was no reason why robots that were this intelligent couldn't cook.

The difference between humans and intelligent robots lay in their ability to learn and adapt. The addition of smart robots would release Wang Jun, Zhao Guangming and the others from the high-intensity kitchen work. The six of them could take up the duties of a chef - planning the menu, ordering ingredients, and directing the robots to cook, so that the canteen could run smoothly.

In fact, Ruan Tang once proposed to He Yun Chen to hire a group of chefs directly from the Chefs' Association, but He Yun Chen said that the military was very strict with security and they could not allow untrusted people to enter. Not to mention that the canteen would be serving the needs of the entire army. If someone with ulterior motives tampered with the food, the consequences could be dire. So, it was better for them to recruit from within. However, he also said that in the subsequent conscriptions, they could recruit candidates who especially wished to be stationed in the kitchen. After screening, they could be sent to man the dining hall.

He was deeply impressed with his apprentices, so he gave his utmost when teaching Wang Jun and the others. Once their skills matured, they could recruit apprentices of their own and continue to expand their manpower. Ruan Tang believed that after tasting the dishes in the dining hall, there would be many people willing to sign up, and the dining hall's dishes would become even richer and more diverse. Its operation would also be more efficient.
