What makes Daheita Kitchen truly unique is its complete food production system.
All sorts of ingredients grow and mature in the area adjacent to the kitchen, and then flow into the kitchen like a stream via a silent mechanical conveyor belt.
However, the conveyor belt is not working right now; it will probably only start operating when the Great Black Tower suddenly feels like cooking.
However, in the food production area, there are quite a few small black towers being maintained.
These tiny black towers, small in size, are like little elves, capable of flying, shuttling through the air, working diligently like little bees.
Let's call these little black towers the Elf Black Towers.
Some are raising chickens, some are feeding cattle, some are picking fruit, some are watering plants...
Is a farmhouse restaurant located next to the kitchen?
That's quite a generous gesture.
You don't have to go to the dark room to cook anymore, but can you get the ingredients yourself?
Go ask them.
Bai Luan strode towards the food production area.
As soon as he stepped into the area, several elf black towers surrounded him, flying around Bai Luan and staring at him.
"Um...can I have some ingredients?"
The elven Black Tower nodded, then continued to stare at Bai Luan.
"Does this mean I'm asking what you want? Hmm... potatoes, peas, rice, meat..."
While thinking about the meal she wanted to cook, Bai Luan listed out the ingredients she needed.
After hearing this, the elf immediately flew away, and soon a group of elf black towers flew back.
Each of the elf black towers was carrying ingredients in their hands.
They thoughtfully delivered it to the kitchen.
Thank you.
The elf Black Tower nodded, waved to Bai Luan, and returned to his post.
Bai Luan glanced at the ingredients; they were all very fresh and of excellent quality. He nodded, very satisfied, and rolled up his sleeves.
"Such good ingredients shouldn't be wasted."
Ingredients splash as they hit the water, the chopping board makes a soft slurping sound as it's cut, the wok is sizzling as it's stir-fried, and finally, chopped scallions are sprinkled on top as the dish is served.
Potato stew with meat, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried green peppers with meat, and egg drop soup.
Three dishes and a soup, a perfect ending.
Take the rice out of the rice cooker and take out a pair of chopsticks.
Let's eat!
I picked up a glistening green pepper with my chopsticks, along with some slightly charred shredded meat, and mixed it with the distinct grains of rice before taking a bite.
Holy crap! This tastes amazing!
Bai Luan stared in shock at the three dishes and soup in front of her.
In his past life, when he squandered his wealth, he ate at many high-end restaurants, but compared to these three dishes and a soup, they were utterly outclassed.
Have my cooking skills improved again?
No...
My cooking skills are just average.
The ingredients?
Could it be that...
'Special Feature: Delicious Kung Pao Chicken'
Effect: A seemingly ordinary home-cooked meal, but even the most discerning gourmet will be amazed by its deliciousness.
Ah, so it turned into a strange object.
Is it okay to eat this strange creature?
Bai Luan looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of her.
I shoveled a mouthful of rice into my mouth.
Since things have come to this (chewing), let's eat first (chewing).
Chapter 12: I learned so much
After eating and drinking my fill, I cleaned up everything I had used and packed up the leftovers, which solved my dinner problem.
but...
Bai Luan looked at the food, which was enough for two people, and looked troubled.
I hadn't cooked in a long time, so I got carried away cooking for myself. Coupled with hunger, I felt like I could eat a whole cow, and as a result, I cooked too much.
I'll keep one portion for myself for dinner, but what should I do with the other one?
It's impossible to throw it away, but wasting it is truly shameful.
Leaving it overnight for breakfast the next day is a bit of a stretch.
Are there any storage methods like refrigerators here?
The kitchen is so big and well-equipped, it should have something there. Let's look for it.
Bai Luan, carrying the two packed lunch boxes, began to explore the kitchen.
That can be used to make desserts and cakes, this can be used to make pasta, this is for grilling skewers, and that's for deep-frying...
No matter what, this kitchen is far too big. If there were enough people, they could easily open a food street here.
Just as Bai Luan was complaining about the Black Tower's tendency to build extravagant facilities on a whim and then abandon them to gather dust when the interest waned, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Bai Luan saw a purple refrigerator.
Great, this is exactly what I need.
Bai Luan walked briskly to the refrigerator. Just as she was about to open the refrigerator door, an electronic voice suddenly came out.
Who are you?
Where did that sound come from?
Bai Luan looked left and right, but couldn't find the source of the sound.
Take your hands off my face!
"?"
Did the refrigerator talk?
Bai Luan released the refrigerator door and saw a dark blue dot appear where she had been holding it.
This seems to be what the intelligent AI installed in this refrigerator looks like.
Why would you put AI in a refrigerator...?
Right next to it is the food production chain, and the food is taken and used as needed, so there is no need to keep it fresh.
Could it be... that there's some priceless treasure in this refrigerator? A thousand-year-old ginseng? A ten-thousand-year-old eagle? A million-year-old turtle?
"I'll ask you one more time, who are you? Why did you open me?"
"Oh, my name is Bai Luan. I used the kitchen a little today to cook a meal, and I made too much, so I'm leaving some with you."
Bai Luan slightly raised the lunchbox in her hand, gesturing for the refrigerator to see it.
"Cooking? There are actually other people cooking here? I haven't seen a living person cook in a long time since Lady Black Tower's passion for cooking faded away."
Does that mean it's always been the Black Tower Elf or the Black Tower Doll doing the cooking?
I never knew Heita had such a passion for cooking. I just wonder how good his skills are.
Bai Luan believed that Heita could cook a good meal, but he also believed that Heita wouldn't just cook honestly.
This event is also recorded in the Black Tower PV.
"By the way, how well do you keep food fresh?"
Bai Luan's casual remark seemed to break down the refrigerator AI's defenses; it trembled slightly and roared:
"How dare you question my professional competence?!"
"So, you're really good at keeping things fresh?"
"Of course! I'm an expert at keeping things fresh! My internal structure uses unparalleled technology; whatever you put in, you take out exactly the same way!"
The oldest dessert I have here is older than you! But when you take it out, it tastes just like it came straight from the oven!
Bai Luan might have been shocked when she heard about the function of this refrigerator when she first woke up this morning.
However, after being amazed by the flying carpet, the botanical garden, and the laboratory, Bai Luan's acceptance of these highly effective tools greatly increased.
It's hard to believe I've only been here for less than two days.
It's hard to imagine how long I've actually been here, including the time spent in the dark room.
So, when Bai Luan proudly boasted about the refrigerator, he only gave a perfunctory reply:
"Wow, that's amazing! Can I put this lunchbox in now?"
"...Why were you able to accept it so calmly?"
"Because you are a creature like this, which can be seen everywhere here."
"It hurts, but it's the truth."
But then the refrigerator's AI changed its tone, saying:
"But getting me to store it isn't that simple!"
Ms. Black Tower imported a large amount of delicious food data parameters into my system as the basis for my food judgment! If my cooking is deemed not delicious enough, then it doesn't qualify for my storage!
"Is this a trial?"
"That's right, this is a trial! Food that isn't delicious isn't worth storing! Not to mention being eaten by Lady Black Tower! I will protect Lady Black Tower's taste buds!"
Regardless, Bai Luan did hear a sense of conviction from this AI.
Black Tower used too much material when writing the program.
The refrigerator didn't offer any further explanation. Instead, several mechanical arms suddenly extended from the main body of the refrigerator and took the lunchbox from Bai Luan's hands.
Bai Luan expressionlessly slapped away the robotic arm that was trying to take the lunchbox from his other hand and said:
"Don't touch my dinner, I'll only leave one box."
"Hmph! What's with the arrogance! They might not even be able to fit a single box in!"
The lunchbox was delivered to the AI by the robotic arm, and a scanning beam shot out from the AI's eye, scanning the lunchbox from top to bottom.
The refrigerator's AI evaluation was very thorough; it even frowned at the dot.
Bai Luan watched curiously from the side, also wanting to know what level a casually made home-cooked meal could reach.
"Hey? Wait a minute... something's not right... something's definitely not right..."
The refrigerator's AI exclaimed in disbelief, while the robotic arm, with remarkable precision, gently lifted the lunchbox, opened the lid, and began to examine the food inside.
"It was just a simple home-cooked meal, and the ingredients were only what you'd find at Lady Black Tower's place, but why... why..."
"What's wrong? You look like you're about to crash."
"...Your meal has been rated as the best meal by my inspection system."
Wait, is this cheat that the system just casually wrote?
Bai Luan doesn't even dare to imagine how amazing her cooking skills could be if she went to the dark room to hone her skills further.
Can you make food that comes out with its own flashing effects? Can it cure diseases?
Will eating this cause your clothes to burst?Um, let's forget about the clothes ripping thing; I feel like I'd get chased and attacked by diners.
"I take back my previous words about you. You are a respectable chef."
The robotic arm carefully fastened the lunchbox, then, almost like escorting a sedan chair, stuffed it into the refrigerator.
Bai Luan also got a glimpse inside the refrigerator. He had initially thought the refrigerator didn't have much storage space, but the moment he opened it, he realized he was wrong.
This tiny refrigerator actually uses space-related technology, and its internal space is much larger than it looks.
A variety of delicious foods are arranged in a dense, crisscrossing pattern, which explains why a dessert can last so long.
There are just too many delicious foods available, so it's not even a chance for it.
The robotic arm carried the boxed meal directly to the best compartment in the refrigerator and stored it away.
Then the refrigerator door slammed shut.
"I hope you can cook more often and add more delicious food to my food stash."
More than cooking, Bai Luan now wants to disassemble the refrigerator and figure out its storage technology.
Just then, Bai Luan's cell phone vibrated in his pocket.
This was the time he had set beforehand; it was four o'clock.
This means that...
Bai Luan can finally go back to her little house and lie down.
After a brief farewell to the refrigerator AI, I headed straight to my room.
I need to rest! I must rest immediately! I've learned so much today!
Some time after Bai Luan left, several elf black towers came to the refrigerator, tapped it lightly, and activated the AI.
"Is Ms. Black Tower going to have dinner?"
The Elf Black Tower nodded slightly.
What many people don't know is that refrigerators have a strict hierarchy inside. All layers have the same preservation ability, but the deliciousness decreases from high to low.
Whenever Ms. Black Tower eats, she only takes the food from the very top; as for the bottom...
Just leave it there; it won't break anyway.
A robotic arm appeared and took out what it considered the most delicious food at the moment—Bai Luan's boxed lunch—from inside the refrigerator.
"Based on the data, this boxed meal is the most suitable dinner for Ms. Black Tower!"
...
The boxed lunch was delivered to Daheita.
"A boxed lunch? Or did they give me a generic boxed lunch? Is there something wrong with the system?"
Daheita felt it was unlikely that there was a problem with the program she wrote, so she opened her lunchbox.
The elf Black Tower, who was surrounding the Great Black Tower, handed over a pair of chopsticks. The Great Black Tower took the chopsticks and looked at the three dishes and one soup in the box.
"It looks pretty good."
Daheita picked up a piece of chicken and ate it.
"Oh? It's quite delicious. My program really doesn't have any problems..."
Chapter 13 needs no further explanation.
While Daheita was eating his boxed lunch, Bai Luan was also showing off his own boxed lunch, but compared to Daheita's elegant eating style, Bai Luan ate much more quickly.
They finished eating in no time, and then washed all the dishes and chopsticks at the newly built washbasin.
Bai Luan shook the water off her hands and sat back on the bed.
Looking at the newly renovated room, Bai Luan couldn't help but sigh:
"It has been expanded by a full two times... and you can't tell at all that the renovation only started this morning. Truly worthy of the title 'Ms. Black Tower'."
Not to mention any signs of renovation, even though the place had just undergone a major expansion, the places where I left everything remained exactly as they were.
How did those robots manage to avoid that pile of clutter and carve out individual bathrooms?
That's amazing!
It was definitely the right choice to decide to stay here.
After once again feeling fortunate about her initial choice, Bai Luan stopped caring about her newly expanded room and focused on her work.
After all, the benefits here are quite good, and if you want to continue enjoying them, you have to avoid being kicked out.
He compiled a list of everything needed to solve the botanical garden problem.
Looking at the document he had edited, Bai Luan began to ponder.
The dog leader is known for being impossible to read.
Of course, this is not to say that Heita is a dog leader. From Bai Luan's perspective, Heita is a leader who is completely out of reach.
Although they require excellent professional skills and dismiss anyone who makes a mistake, they still provide the same level of compensation.
Understanding one's superior's psychology is also part of the performance evaluation, so Bai Luan now has to consider:
Should we send the list directly to the Black Tower doll, or exchange pleasantries, flatter it, and then provide the list?
Generally speaking, the latter works extremely well with dog leaders, but even with such excellent results, it doesn't necessarily solve the problem.
But Black Tower probably doesn't care about this useless praise; using this tactic is likely to be ineffective.
Then I'll just send a document and ask. I didn't ask many questions today, and I only asked them to help me get used to working at the botanical garden.
Bai Luan opened the chat software and sent the file to the Black Tower Doll.
Bai Luan:
Bai Luan: Miss Black Tower, we need these things to solve the botanical garden problem.
Black Tower: Adapted so quickly?
Black Tower: It seems I underestimated you. I should have taken you to a few more places.
Judging from the answers, the results are good.
Bai Luan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the reply.
After these two replies, the chat interface remained silent for a while.
However, the document shows that it has been received by the other party and is probably being reviewed now.
Upon realizing this, a sense of dread suddenly welled up inside me.
It's like when you were in school, the teacher sat on the platform and you sat below, and he was grading your homework in front of you—you were terrified.
Bai Luan didn't know how Black Tower would view this document, but it was indeed the result of his hard work.
However, based on my past life's experience of being tortured as a beast of burden, I know that putting in the effort doesn't necessarily guarantee success.
Just as Bai Luan was pondering how to deal with the various outcomes, her phone rang, drawing her attention back to the present.
Black Tower: I've looked at the file, there's nothing wrong with it.
Black Tower: From now on, just send any supplies you need to purchase directly to it; you don't need to show them to me.
Black Tower: In the future, you can add any daily necessities you need to your shopping list and purchase them together.
Black Tower: Your primary focus is on resolving the botanical garden's issues; you don't need to worry about the procurement budget.
Seeing the continuous stream of messages coming in, Bai Luan felt greatly relieved.
The Black Tower is not a dog leader, and the present world is not the past world.
Everything is different now.
Bai Luan: I understand.
Bai Luan added the friend recommended by Heita and was about to send the file when she found that Heita had sent another message.
Black Tower: Oh, right, well done.
Upon seeing this message, a feeling of emotion welled up in Bai Luan's heart.
Oh no, now I'm going to be the only one pushing Black Tower.
If I had encountered such a leader in my past life, I probably would have sworn allegiance on the spot.
Bai Luan: The Black Tower lady is great, no further explanation needed!
Bai Luan sent the message, and the Black Tower Doll never replied again.
After the Black Tower doll did not reply, Bai Luan shifted all her attention to communicating with the purchasing robot.
Bai Luan: Miss Heita sent me. She said I could just give you the list directly.
Robots purchased: Expected to arrive tomorrow.
Seeing that OK expression, Bai Luan's lips twitched.
It truly lives up to its reputation for high intelligence and efficiency.
Bai Luan recalled the map in her mind and then located the purchasing department.
It's not that far; it would take about half an hour to run there. I'll choose a time to go tomorrow.
The matter of the botanical garden is now considered resolved.
Bai Luan turned off her phone screen and then looked at the pile of clutter.
Although only one day has passed, Bai Luan now is completely different from Bai Luan last night.
So, that pile of clutter, now it seems, might no longer be clutter.
Bai Luan took out a cardboard box that had already been opened.
This is one of the boxes he opened yesterday; it contained a type of white board.
It's quite heavy.
Yesterday, because I didn't know what kind of material it was or what it could be used for, I categorized it as miscellaneous items.
...
Based on my skill level last night, I probably would have categorized everything as miscellaneous items.
After making a self-deprecating remark, Bai Luan took out a white board.
The white metal sheets were cut perfectly, each piece was the same size and very neat. They were quite heavy; the whole box was quite heavy.
Of course, Bai Luan still doesn't know what kind of material it is.
However, he can search online.
It wasn't that I didn't think of it last night, but rather that even if I had found it last night, it wouldn't have made any sense, so I didn't do it.
But now Bai Luan needs to know if this thing can be used to make a flying backpack, and if it can be used to make a flying backpack, Bai Luan can really make a backpack for it.
It is said that a person should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation, but now I can complete a super evolution in less than three days, in just one day.
The praise system's little black room.
I'm not the only reason you've improved; don't forget to thank yourself.
Hmph, I'm pretty awesome too!
Bai Luan happily opened her phone, then opened the procurement software of Interstellar Peace Company, found the image recognition function, and took a picture of the metal plate in her hand.
The loading screen for identification appeared on the phone screen, and Bai Luan's gaze fell on the board in her hand.
Although it was just some forgotten junk from the Great Black Tower, the fact that it appeared in the Great Black Tower's house proves its high value; it must not be an ordinary material.
The lower limit shouldn't be low...
Just then, the software recognized the information about the board.
"Pananm alloy?"
Bai Luan glanced at the price tag next to it.
A string of zeros is quite frightening.
