Food King [Interstellar]

For the Spanda people, Jiang Tang is like a savior. His cooking class let people say goodbye to the original ecological diet of boiled potatoes and boiled sweet potatoes. After he came to Spanda, Let people taste the sweetness of meat again.According to a point of view generally accepted by the Spanda people, it was Jiang Tang who taught them the taste and joy of being alive.

In Spanda, almost everyone is Jiang Tang's idiot.Jiang Tang doesn't dare to go out without pretending now, because as soon as he goes out, he will definitely be surrounded by mifensi frantically, asking for autographs and asking for group photos, so he can't even think about doing business.

Jiang Tang did not expect that he would become a celebrity. It would be a lie to say that he was not proud. After all, everyone has vanity, but he is also very distressed. He is very happy that he is so popular, but he doesn't want to be someone who is popular everywhere. The object of onlookers.

This time they came to Spanda with a mission. Spanda was short of supplies. In the past, it relied on exporting minerals to maintain its economy, and other supplies basically relied on imports.After the Revolutionary Army took over Spanda, the export business has basically stopped, and there is no source of income. People rely on growing potatoes and sweet potatoes to support themselves and solve their basic survival problems. However, other daily necessities are still scarce and need to be imported.Although the Revolutionary Army has a way to get supplies from other planets in the empire, they can only get in and out. This is a very stressful life for the Spanda people.

Lawson originally planned to push agricultural products to other planets, and exporting potatoes and sweet potatoes can provide a source of income for the Spanda people, so this must not only be done, but must be done immediately.What they have to do now is to maximize the benefits of these agricultural products.In addition to exporting potatoes and sweet potato raw materials, Jiang Tang actively advises everyone, and also processes potatoes and sweet potatoes into starch rice, rice strips, potato chips, French fries and other products for export.

When Jiang Tang was in Spanda, his first task was to find condiments for the Spanda people.Before he came, the only ingredients for cooking were oil, salt, and vinegar. The oil was extracted from the seeds of a local oily plant, the salt was extracted from mineral salt, and the vinegar was made from potatoes and sweet potatoes. No condiments at all.

Although they also brought some crop seeds from Angus this time, the climate here is far from Angus, and whether the crops can survive is a big problem.Therefore, the most direct and effective way is to find edible spices and vegetables from Spanda.This requires Daniel's help.

Fortunately, human beings have developed in Spanda for more than 1000 years, and the social environment here is very mature. It is not necessary to rely on Daniel to do this alone. The University of Spanda has a major in the Department of Biology. The teachers and students of the Department of Biology Also provided them with a lot of help.So in a very short period of time, they found a lot of local vegetables and spices in Spanda, and after publishing this information, people can find edible vegetables and spices around them. The content is getting richer and richer.

From the second day after arriving in Spanda, Jiang Tang has never been idle. He has been trying new dishes and spices of Spanda. After the experiment is successful, he will promote it to everyone through teaching videos. He finished recording the cooking class on this day. , finally got a little free time, and was going to go fishing by the river. As soon as he put on the bait and the fishing rod hadn't been thrown, someone came to look for him.

Li Ang said to him: "Jiang Tang, Dean Smart of Maggie University is looking for you." Luo Xun is also so busy these days that he can't accompany Jiang Tang, so he asks Li Ang to follow and take care of him. Jiang Tang felt that this was an exaggeration for his personal safety, but after seeing Mi Fensi's enthusiasm, he no longer refused Luo Xun's arrangement.

Jiang Tang turned his head and glanced at Dean Smart, first threw the hook into the river, then turned around, and stretched out his hand to the other party: "Hello, Mr. Dean, do you have anything to do with me?" This Smart The dean is the associate dean of Maggie University. He always goes to Maggie University these days, so he also knows him.

Dean Smart is a tall, thin white man. Unlike Jiang Tang's mixed-race people, he has very strong Western ancestry, and his personality is also the same as that of Westerners. He is straightforward. He holds Jiang Tang's hand and looks at him with gray eyes. Looking at Jiang Tang, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Jiang, it is like this. After discussion and research in the school, we plan to open a culinary art major. I would like to hear your opinion. Are you free?"

This was somewhat unexpected to Jiang Tang. He was stunned for a moment: "Your school wants to offer a culinary art major?" Maggie University is the best full-time university in Spanda. In Jiang Tang's perception, cooking is just a professional skill , Short-term training is okay. Isn’t it a bit too wasteful to spend time learning cooking skills for a few years?

Dean Smart said with a smile: "Yes. Now all Spanda people are learning to cook from Mr. Jiang. Everyone has a high voice for cooking classes. This is the demand of the public. We just came into being. We hope to pass Professional teaching to cultivate more professional chefs like Mr. Jiang. Hope to get your support and encouragement."

Jiang Tang asked: "But what about the teachers and teaching materials?"

Dean Smart said: "We have hired a chef who used to work in Richard's restaurant as a professor, and we also want to hire Mr. Jiang as our guest professor. Your video teaching materials can be used as one of our teaching materials. one."

Jiang Tang thought to himself, just by himself and the chef, can he start a university major just by teaching cooking?Not even theoretical knowledge.Those people have studied for more than ten years, and then went to learn how to cook for a few years?Is it too wasteful? "Let me make a suggestion, Dean Smart. If your school really wants to teach students cooking, you can set up an elective course of cooking, let students learn it as a hobby, and it doesn't take a few years to learn it Cook."

Dean Smart said: "If we want to learn how to cook, we can learn from Mr. Jiang's teaching video. Our purpose is to train professional chefs like you."

Jiang Tang sincerely suggested: "But the current conditions are not allowed. One is that the teachers are not enough, and the other is the lack of theoretical knowledge. It is impossible to support a major with just two people's words. We don't have more things to teach students. In this way It is irresponsible to the students. So I still suggest to open such a class first. If the students are interested, they can engage in research in this field. When the theoretical knowledge is enriched in the future, it is not too late to set up a culinary art major. Everything has its own Take it step by step."

From the perspective of gastronomy, there are indeed many things worth studying. Food culture, food art, cuisine recipes, and ingredient combinations can all be studied as topics. However, there are currently no related works, which are not systematic. To teach other people's students, it can't really be regarded as vocational skills training, even if it is vocational skills training, it still needs teaching materials, not just knowing how to cook a few dishes.Therefore, Jiang Tang strongly disagrees with the establishment of a culinary art major.

Dean Smart thought for a while and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your suggestion. Let's study it carefully when we go back. I will seriously consider your proposal. It's just that I don't care whether we offer cooking majors or elective courses. I hope that Mr. Jiang can be our guest professor, can you promise us?"

Jiang Tang thought for a while. If he only needs to teach remotely by himself, it is not difficult: "I can consider this. Let's discuss the teaching plan then."

Dean Smart grabbed Jiang Tang's hand again and shook it vigorously: "Then I am very grateful to Mr. Jiang for supporting our school. I believe that we will definitely make some achievements."

"Thank you for your attention to culinary arts." Jiang Tang did not expect at this time that Maggie University would become the culinary professional authority in the entire empire in the future, and countless young people went to Spanda to learn culinary arts.

After Smart left, Jiang Tang turned to look at his fishing rod, and found that it had been dragged into the water: "Oh, my fishing rod." He raised his foot to go into the water to catch the fishing rod, but was dragged by Li Ang: "Don't you Go, I'll go." After finishing speaking, he didn't even take off his shoes and socks, and went directly into the water to pick up the fishing rod, and there was already a lively fish hanging on the other end of the fishing rod.

Jiang Tang stood on the shore and shouted: "Li Ang, come up quickly."

Li Ang took some of the fishing line slowly, and then brought the fish ashore. Jiang Tang looked at the fish on the hook and said excitedly: "Hey, it's a fish with a white edge, and it's not too small. You can eat steamed fish tonight." Fish." There are not many fish in the Clara River, and some of them are inedible and contain excessive heavy metals, while the white side is edible, and the meat is delicious, but the quantity is small and the size is not big. Anything that weighs half a catty is considered big, like this seven-eight-two-heavy white border is already very rare good luck.

Jiang Tang took the fish down, put it in the bucket, and said to Li Ang, "Go back to the hotel and change your clothes, your pants are all wet."

Li Ang kicked off his shoes indifferently, and rolled up his trouser legs: "It's okay, it's okay. Are you going to stay in Spanda?"

"No." Jiang Tang rehung the bait, threw the fishing line into the water, and turned to look at Li Ang, "What am I doing here?"

Li Ang said: "I just heard from Dean Smart that he wants to invite you to be a professor. Don't you need to stay here?"

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "It's just a visiting professor. He teaches through video, so he doesn't need to go to the classroom to teach." Although it is already in the history of the Galaxy, and the technology is so developed that people can receive all the education at home, the teaching mode of the school is not the same as that of the earth. The education is about the same, and the students still have to go to school. This is required by the Ministry of Education, and it is said that it can cultivate how to get along with others.Jiang Tang still agrees with this point.

"You are so amazing, you are already a professor." Li Ang praised him sincerely. He felt very proud that Jiang Tang was already a professor when he was less than 20 years old.

Jiang Tang smiled: "Actually, I am a chef." Jiang Tang suddenly realized that he should take the time to summarize his food knowledge into a book, so as to at least provide some theoretical information for those who are interested in cooking. Thinking of this, Jiang Tang no longer had the pleasure of fishing. He put away his fishing rod and said to Li Ang, "Let's go, stop fishing, go back. I will eat fish at night."

Daniel and his temporary team have found a lot of edible things, in addition to vegetables, there are also fruits and meat. People no longer have to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes, but it is not easy to eat fish. Spanda has little water. There are even fewer aquatic products.

Li Ang said unexpectedly: "Are you leaving now? I've only been fishing for a while."

Jiang Tang said: "Suddenly it occurred to me that there are still some things to do. I'll go back first, or you can continue fishing."

Jiang Tang was about to leave, so Li Ang naturally wouldn't continue fishing. He carried his shoes and bucket to keep up with Jiang Tang's footsteps.Luo Xun came back from outside after finishing his errands, and just got off the flying car, he saw Jiang Tang and Li Ang walking back to the hotel. Don't need others to do it for you.

Seeing Luo Xun, Jiang Tang immediately burst into a smile: "Are you back?"

Luo Xun stood beside the car with his hands in his trouser pockets, waiting for Jiang Tang to come over.Jiang Tang really came over as he wished: "Go back earlier today."

Luo Xun took his right hand out of his trouser pocket and put his arm around Jiang Tang's shoulder: "Well, I went to see the shipyard and came back after watching."

Jiang Tang asked: "Is it finished? When is the test flight?" What was encountered was a cargo ship, which will play an important role in the next food export trade.

"Well, there are three days left for the test flight, and then we will go to the test flight ceremony." Rosen said, "Aren't you busy today?"

"Yes, it's fine in the afternoon. I caught a fish, do you want to eat it steamed or braised?" Jiang Tang wanted to show him the fish, but found that Li Ang had already brought the fish into the hotel. "The fish was brought back by Li Ang."

Rosen said, "I will eat as you do."

The two walked slowly towards the hotel. Jiang Tang said to Luo Xun: "Today, the dean of Maggie University came to me and wanted to open a culinary major in their school, and asked my opinion. The major is a bit irresponsible, I suggest that they take an elective course first."

Luo Xun laughed: "Very good, do you want to hire you as a professor?" He looked at Jiang Tang, feeling very honored.

Jiang Tang scratched his head in embarrassment: "They said they invited me to be a guest professor. I don't have time to teach you, the main thing is to play teaching videos. I want to sort out food information and publish two books. Can learn some theoretical knowledge."

"Very good, do you want me to help?" Rosen asked.

Jiang Tang smiled: "You are so busy, I should do it myself."

"It's okay, I'll help you when I'm free. Your career is also my career, and it's our common cause."

"it is good!"
