MTL - I Am the Light of Science and Technology-Chapter 24 Tech Chef (5)
"Finally, when Chengjiacai opens, I'll just like them!"
"Cheng's cuisine is still authentically cooked by Cheng En. Cheng En is dead. Where can you eat the real Cheng's cuisine now?"
"Isn't Chengjiacai his daughter's inheritance now? It just opened today. I don't know how?"
"Don't you know? His daughter doesn't know how to cook at all! He found a son-in-law who came to his house and taught him the skill. It is said that he is as good as Cheng En!"
"Hey, you only know part of it. Today, two Chengjiacai opened at the same time, right? The other Chengjiacai was established independently by the future son-in-law Xiang Beiyin! This person is not good enough, Cheng En As soon as he died, he left, and this was revealed to Beiyin's brothers and sisters, that is, Cheng En's other apprentices!"
"Then...he is of bad character, we..."
"Aiya, the taste of what we eat doesn't matter what our character is, Cheng En's shop has nothing now, and there is no chef. What should we eat? Let's go for a walk, or go to the newly opened Cheng's restaurant. It is said that today 30% off everything."
…
Obviously, the taste is all about eating, and therefore, most of the diners go to the restaurants in Cheng Lilac and Xiang Beiyin.
The newly opened Chengjia cuisine looks very lively. There are a dozen young girls and handsome guys at the door who are handing out flyers.
“Authentic Chengjia Cuisine!”
"Authentic Chengjia Cuisine is grandly opened, come and have a look, have a look!"
"New store opening, 30% off sitewide, free drinks, only 30% off!"
Xiangbei was hiding in the kitchen today. Cheng Dingxiang only made steamed and cold dishes in advance. Now she came out to have a look, and looked at the endless doorway with a bright smile.
Glancing in the direction of Cheng's restaurant, seeing that not many people were passing by, he sneered, his face full of pride.
Cheng Baizhi, what do you use to fight me?
Cheng Dingxiang was very happy, she was going to go to Cheng Baizhi for a while after her work was done today.
at the same time.
The extra big screen outside the Chengjia Restaurant began to play the video.
Wang Chuan took a family out for dinner, and they were going to Cheng's restaurant. He was a little anxious—
"Parents, wife, Xiaowei, hurry up, or I'll go and reserve a seat first? There must be a lot of people in Chengjiacai today. If we go late, there may be no seats!"
At this time, his daughter pointed to the big screen not far away and said, "Dad, look there!"
Wang Chuan looked up.
On the big screen, lines after lines of words are written in big letters, and there are pictures—
"Are you still worried about waiting anxiously for the food to be served? You can dine with holographic food on a different network, and place your order immediately."
"Are you still worrying about your weight? Want to eat but don't dare to eat it? Holographic meals from different networks, perfect meals, no calorie burden."
"Are you still unable to eat delicious food for reasons such as toothache, physical discomfort, inability to eat, etc.? The holographic meal of the different network, remove all physical burdens, and eat happily."
"There are also multiple environmental choices such as Guyun Township, Bamboo Forest Guest, Hua Cong Ji, Forest Garden, and coastline, which are immersive."
"If you are not satisfied after the meal, you will get a full refund!"
"Pfft—" Wang Chuan laughed, "Is there a holographic meal on the Internet? What's the bells and whistles? We want to eat, not to play games. Now that there are more VRs, there is no fun. Let's walk around and eat."
"Dad... I want to go, you see what it says, I'm not satisfied with the refund." The little girl begged.
"Obey baby, if you don't eat, your grandparents still have to eat. If you want to experience VR, Dad will accompany you tomorrow." Wang Chuan coaxed his daughter.
At this time, his father suddenly sighed and said, "Hey, just go here. Cheng En's father used to be an old cook. Back then, the area was not as prosperous as it is now. Most people were very poor. The rest of the sale is distributed to the poor. This family is not bad. At that time, I wanted to eat Koucheng's food, which is the best food in the world! Now life is better, my teeth are bad, and I can't eat a lot of things. I just love the stew made by Cheng En, and now Cheng En is dead... alas."
Wang Chuan understood that this was the nostalgia of their old man.
He looked at his mother, and his mother nodded, but he was willing to follow his father, so Wang Chuan and his wife looked at each other and decided to go to this store.
Dining in VR?
Maybe it's a game...
A good restaurant, how did it become a game?
Alas, let's go first, the old man is too old, he will definitely not be able to accept the game, just come out soon, and then go to Chengjiacai.
The family walked to Cheng's restaurant.
There are not many people, and compared with the one over there, it looks particularly bleak.
"Welcome!" The young welcome greeted them with a smile.
As soon as Wang Chuan saw the seats like a movie theater, he immediately became a little unhappy. What kind of restaurant is this? He also heard someone beside him questioning—
"Where is this restaurant?! You are smashing signs! I want to support you anyway!"
After saying that, the man turned around and left.
It was obviously not the first time Yingbin encountered such a situation. He was very polite, sent people out politely, and said—
"Please don't be angry, welcome next time."
next time?
Can this come a second time?
Wang Chuan chuckled, if it wasn't for his father's old love, their family wouldn't have come in.
"Our boss is the founder of this helmet and this technology. It has a patent and is the world's premiere. It is tailor-made for Chengjiacai. Please take a seat. Next, I will put on the helmet for you."
As she said that, she took out a thing with many interfaces and asked, "Do you need to connect your mobile phone to a different network? If you connect your mobile phone to a different network, you can surf the Internet and make calls normally."
Wang Chuan was stunned. Young men are always interested in high technology and know something about it.
But he doesn't understand what the waiter's words mean, what does it mean to make calls "in it" normally?
When someone calls, he just picks it up.
Is this helmet a headset? Answer the call through the headset?
So what's so new about this? It's so gimmicky!
Wang Chuan didn't understand, but at the moment when he was confused, the waiter had already helped them put on their helmets, the daughter was very excited, and the wife was helpless.
It's just that his dad said, "A good restaurant... Alas, then don't call Cheng's food again!"
"Everyone is ready, now close your eyes, we enter the different net."
As soon as the voice fell, Wang Chuan felt like he had entered another world.
He was shocked and turned his head to look, only to find that his family was beside him, and all of them were wide-eyed.
"Dad? Mom?" he said tentatively.
"Hey..." His dad's voice trembled a little, and his mother couldn't say anything.
In front of him, a very polite waiter stood in front of—
"Hello, Chengjia Restaurant welcomes you. I'm waiter No. 009. This is my projection. Please allow me to serve you. Please rest assured that there will be a heartbeat test when you enter Yiwang, and there will be no physical problems due to shock!"
"This..." Wang Chuan didn't know what to say.
He is so shocked now, the feeling is so real! They just came to another world!
"Please choose the dining environment. This is Guyun Township, here is Bamboo Forest Guest, and you will dine here." During the conversation, the scene changed from the antique place, and they actually entered the bamboo forest.
Wang Chuan: "...!!"
"And Hua Cong Ji." During the conversation, the scene in front of several people changed again, and they appeared among the flowers again.
Wang Chuan was stunned.
Next, countless scenes were changed in a row.
The waiter asked them with a smile: "Please choose the dining environment."
Several people were aphasia, too shocked, and their brains lost their ability to think for a while.
"Flowers! I want to be inside the flowers!" The youngest daughter was the most excited, and her voice was full of excitement.
"Okay." As soon as the scene changed, they entered the flower bush.
In front of it is a table made of flowers, which makes people very worried that it will collapse as soon as one tries hard. The chair is also a rattan flower, which is beautiful, but it makes people afraid to sit on it.
"This...it's too real..." The wife muttered, her voice full of shock.
Wang Chuan was also stunned. He even stretched out his hand and grabbed a flower, but he really grabbed it!
The touch is real and the floral scent is very real too!
"This, this... Mom, this is actually true!" Wang Chuan threw the flowers and said in shock.
Shocked and even frightened, did he encounter some supernatural event? !
Or has technology really gotten to this point? !
The old man and the old lady also stood stiffly in place, and the old man looked at the waiter blankly: "This... what's going on? How is it so real?!"
Now if someone told them it was fake, they wouldn't believe it!
The touch is so real!
"This is a different network, which can also be called the first-generation Xingwang. It is one of the technological products developed by our boss. It has passed the national security inspection. Please use it with confidence."
"Xingwang! Hologram! It turned out to be true!" At that moment, Wang Chuan felt that his heartbeat was completely out of control, and his voice was so high that it seemed a bit harsh.
However, the waiter's smile did not change, and politely said, "Yes, it's true. Please take a seat, order and dine. It will open today, and each table will be given a soup."
Wang Chuan's family was still standing in the same place, and the waiter was not angry, and still politely led them to their seats.
Wang Chuan decided to try it himself first, so he sat stiffly and slowly on the flower.
Very stable!
He was stunned.
Seeing that he was sitting firmly, the family all sat down blankly.
The menu has appeared, and at the beginning of the menu, it says—
Chengjiacai originated from 1... Cheng En inherited and built the current Chengjia Restaurant. His daughter Cheng Baizhi, Chengjiacai is now the family member, creating Yiwang dining. The traditional Chengjia cuisine, the classic will be handed down forever.
Then, there are dishes, not only the name of the dish, but also the appearance of the dish, which is very real, and even an introduction, about the origin of this dish, and the changes made by an ancestor of the Cheng family, etc.
It is very traditional, and it also makes people understand Chengjia cuisine.
But several people looked at each other and looked at each other in dismay.
Really... dining?
They don't even know where they are!
"Cough, click." Wang Chuan pretended to be calm.
The wife quickly took the menu and ordered a few. The old man said, "Chengjiacai's crab powder lion head and chopped pepper fish head are very classic. Let's order this dish."
The wife frowned subconsciously and said, "Dad, did you forget the doctor's order? You can't eat spicy food."
Next to it, the waiter smiled: "Please rest assured, you can eat anything here, and it will not affect your body."
Wang Chuan and the others suddenly thought of the introduction.
"real?"
"Really." The waiter kept his standard smile.
"Come on then! Another braised pork! Hey, hey, fatter!"
The youngest daughter hurriedly said, "I want dessert, I want dessert!"
Soon, they ordered a large table.
After the waiter helped to place the order, everything appeared on the table, definitely in the restaurant, very real! The color, smell, and steam are 100% real!
"Okay, don't disturb the distinguished guests dining, please call 009, 009 to serve you if you need it." After speaking, 009 slowly walked away, and disappeared behind the flowers.
"Are we... to eat?" Wang Chuan looked at the food on the table and hesitated.
The old man was the first to pick up the chopsticks: "I'll eat first. If something goes wrong, their boss won't be able to run away with so many people."
"Let me go first!" Wang Chuan immediately picked up a piece of braised pork and fed it into his mouth.
"Ho-hot! But delicious! So fragrant! Soft and glutinous, delicious!" Wang Chuan exclaimed.
That kind of real feeling made him unable to remember what kind of different network this was. He only felt that it was real to the extreme. It was dining in a restaurant, or a private dining room with a very, very good environment!
"Delicious!" The old man also picked up the crab powder lion head, and sighed while patting the table, "I haven't tasted this for many years! The taste of authentic Chengjia cuisine!"
The family quickly got into the food.
Wang Chuan has even forgotten where they are, this is a normal feast to enjoy food!
until you look up...
On the opposite side, the old man of his family, who couldn't eat hard, was holding the chicken feet and chewing with great strength, and his teeth were about to catch up with him.
Wang Chuan: "…"
The wife took out her mobile phone while eating, and said excitedly, "I'll record a video, I have a hunch, it's going to be popular!"
Wang Chuan paused, and quickly took out his mobile phone and started to send messages to his friends—
[Don't blame my brother for not reminding me, I am eating at Hologram, perfect enjoyment! The environment is excellent, the taste is excellent, you can eat everything without gaining weight, hurry up, it is Chengjia Restaurant, authentic Chengjia cuisine, XXX Street No. XXX, I swear, I did not lie to you, if you come late, you will definitely not be ranked Number one! 】
As the first batch of news was sent out, a large number of diners and curious people flocked, and countless reporters rushed to report while running—
"Holographic network? Different network? Is it really born, or is it a gimmick?"
"Is it an update and change in technology, or a premeditated hype? Stay tuned, we are XXXX..."
When the reporters ran to Cheng's restaurant, countless people had already poured in.
The holographic gimmick is really scary!
Cheng Dingxiang and the Chengjia cuisine hidden in the north—
"Fuck! Holographic dining?! What is this?!"
"It's fake, right? There's no hologram, it's all a gimmick to open a restaurant. Now that no one cooks in the Chengjia restaurant, it's all about these gimmicks, alas, it's over."
"Yeah, what kind of hologram is there? How could it be used to open a restaurant?"
"My friend told me! He also sent a voice and video, which are real and reliable. Let me hurry up! I'm going anyway!"
"I'm going too. Cheng's food can be eaten anytime. I'm more curious about the hologram now."
"Let's go!"
"Stop serving, we don't!"
The diners left.
The endless stream of people also passed by here and went to Cheng's restaurant. Those who ordered food and had not yet served had already run away.
The rest of the people who were still eating also left in a hurry.
I also came over to eat, but I didn't receive any news. I saw that people were crowding around the Chengjia restaurant in front, so they were not in a hurry to eat. Instead, they all went to watch the fun.
Chengjiacai changed from bustling to busy in an instant, and not many people were dining in it.
Cheng Dingxiang stood blankly at the door.
Xiang Beiyin also came out of the kitchen, there is no way, let anyone keep hearing someone come over and say—
"No, don't want this dish, don't want any of these..."
Can't sit still.
He came out and asked blankly, "What happened? Where's the customer?"
He walked to the door and stood beside Cheng Lilac, looking diagonally across from him.
Cheng's restaurant has been surrounded by countless cars and people, and countless people rushed over, among them reporters and Internet celebrities with mobile phones. On the big screen, countless people looked up and even took pictures and posted them online.
- It's all propaganda!
Cheng Dingxiang gritted her teeth: "Cheng Baizhi... What kind of moth did he make?!"
Next to it, a little girl handing out flyers said: "It's holographic! They are called Yiwang, there are a lot of videos on the Internet, and they came up with holographic dining. The founder of this technology is the owner of Chengjiacai! They are watching it now. It's lively, and they're all queuing up to eat..."
As she spoke, her voice was full of envy.
Obviously, she also wanted to go to the queue.
Cheng Dingxiang: "???"
Xiang Beiyin was also at a loss, looking in the direction of the Chengjia restaurant: "What hologram? How did it get involved with hologram?"
"I read the introduction on the Internet that it is holographic dining, and their promotions are true! They have not even advertised that kind of magic and perfection! Dining in it is exactly the same as dining in reality! And there will be no burden of gaining weight. Will..." The little girl was chattering, she was obviously crying with excitement, and she couldn't wait to rush to it.
Cheng Dingxiang and Xiang Beiyin were still blank, as if they couldn't understand.
At this time, Cheng Dingxiang shook her hands and took out her mobile phone. Xiang Beiyin pursed her lips and leaned over to look at it. It was already on the hot search—
#holographic dining#
Click to see, there are countless and varied videos, all kinds of people appear in the video, and the people in the video are all excited, madly praising the so-called holographic meal, one competition and another exaggeration.
The comment area is even more lively-
"Really?"
"Just kidding? When did you get holograms?"
"It is said to be the first-generation hologram, also called Yiwang. This is the introduction/picture of Chengjiacai."
"Mom too! My eyes opened! I was shocked!"
"No, it's fake, it must be a gimmick!"
"It's true! I'm having a meal, everyone! I'll broadcast it to everyone, this is the live broadcast: link."
"Ahhhh, it's absolutely true, my brother told me personally!"
"Fuck! I also believe it's true. So far, I've been there in person to tell the truth, but no one has produced evidence for the lie!"
"I just saw a reporter interviewed! It's on the scene, it should be true, because the diners who came out were so excited, they went to get the number as soon as they came out, wanting to queue for the next round!"
"Don't go, it's already ranked more than 2,000, I'm more than 1,000, I don't know when I will be able to rank..."
"Damn! So many people!"
"Haha, if it is really holographic, there will be more people."
"Woooooo, it's a pity that I'm not from Huai City!"
"I've asked my friends in Huai City to help me get the number, hehe."
"Is there anyone selling it? Today's one, I'm going to try it too! Buy it at a high price!"
"You think too much. Human holograms can be created, which can make your scalpers make money? Swipe your ID card to get your number/wave your hand."
"Don't say anything, I'm on my way to Huai City!"
…
Cheng Dingxiang and Xiang Beiyin understood, looked at each other, and saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Holographic? !
What are you doing? !
They suddenly thought of the men, women and children wearing helmets that day, and Cheng Baizhi's request to cook for Beiyin...
Cheng Baizhi didn't eat, but kept holding the computer and pounding quickly.
Cheng Dingxiang couldn't even scold, and Xiang Beiyin was trembling slightly, speechless, unable to say a word.
This feeling is too indescribable.
like-
When they took out their swords and fought with each other's real swords, when they were ready to fight with high spirits...
On the other side, she suddenly drove out a tank and fired a cannon at them!
The blast made them dizzy for a while, unable to find the north and south!
Everything Xiang Beiyin relies on the craftsmanship of Chengjiacai. For this reason, they even borrowed countless loans confidently and pulled a lot of investment...
His eyes darkened and he fell backwards.
"Beijing!"
At this time, outside Cheng's restaurant, Cheng Baizhi came out.
There were countless people outside, and it was so noisy that several security guards and waiters standing at the door were almost unable to keep their smiles.
Bai Zhi was not surprised at all, she stepped forward, held a loudspeaker, and said—
"All customers, please take your number to dine. Our restaurant has two floors and can accommodate up to 600 people per round. Today, we can accommodate 500 customers in total. Please don't waste time waiting for customers after number 500. They will be queued at noon tomorrow. Thank you for your support. understand."
She had calculated the number 500, and the upper limit for each number was ten people at a table. If there were more, they might have to work overtime.
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she handed the horn to the waiter on the side. On the screen next to it, under the introduction, a lot of words had already appeared, indicating that there are only the first 500 numbers today, and if someone comes out, the next number will be notified.
Reporters came up and wanted to interview Bai Zhi.
However, Bai Zhi's figure flashed, and she walked behind the security guard and returned to the store.
After Wang Chuan and the others finished eating, they readily gave the money.
"Very good! Very satisfied! Very very satisfied! The environment is very good, and I am very full, hahaha, authentic Chengjia cuisine, and the experience is so good, I will eat here at night."
"Okay, but you need to go to the front desk first to get the number, and it's already number 2,900."
Wang Chuan: "...?"
I know you want fire, but it's only been more than two hours, and it's like this? ?
When he came, there were clearly not many people!
Bai Zhi had just returned to Cheng's restaurant. An old man finished his meal. When he was checking out, he suddenly burst into tears, and while crying, he stuffed the change into his pocket.
He wiped his tears, Bai Zhi was about to step forward to ask, when he saw the reporters surrounding the outside, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they rushed up in an instant and asked the old man—
"Can I interview, why are you crying?"
"Is it a bad dining experience? Or was it deceived? Is the hologram real?"
"Why on earth are you crying? Are you dissatisfied?"
