It's not like a recruit company where you have to eat whatever the chef cooks.
The food here is all self-service. You get your own plate from the sterilizer, then go to the counter and pick up whatever you want.
Even at the end of the counter, Chen Ming saw a juicer and an ice cream machine!
Several people led Chen Ming to get the plate, and then walked around the counter.
Xiong Dahe said with a smile: "Why, not bad, right?"
Chen Ming was still a little stunned at this time. He was really amazed by the food. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses:
"It's more than good. It's completely different from the recruit company!"
Chang Heng chuckled a few times: "You came at the right time. In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, the country has attached great importance to the development of scientific research units. The country has given us a lot of preferential treatment in the Information Department. Not only have all the facilities been renovated, but many policies are also very good."
Chen Ming pondered and nodded.
In the 28th year, information warfare had just begun, and the country was eager to treat powerful experts in information as national treasures.
The treatment for these scientific researchers in the information science department is naturally not bad.
Xiong Dahe laughed and said, "Eat whatever you want. The hand-shredded chicken over there is very good, hot and sour. Also, this three-cup duck is also very fragrant. Give me some more..."
Xiong Dahe was like a chef, introducing various styles to Chen Ming, and not forgetting to put some food on his own plate.
Lin Guang thought about it and cautiously reminded Chen Ming, "Take as much as you can eat. Although our information department is more lax than other companies, we still have to prevent food waste. If you are caught, you will be scolded."
After all, it is a military unit, and the punishment for waste has always been very strict. Although the information soldiers who are afraid of wasting information will not be punished too harshly, if they are found to have wasted information, they will definitely be scolded. If the situation is serious, they may even be criticized.
Chen Ming nodded.
He does have this awareness, and whether in his past life or this life, Chen Ming himself has always been against waste.
When eating, I will finish the rice in the bowl even if I am full and try not to waste it.
Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the recruit company for too long and the food was too monotonous, Chen Ming felt like eating everything he saw, but was afraid of wasting food, so he only took a little bit of each thing and finished it in one bite.
But even so, after one round, the plates were full and each food was different.
The four of them sat at the table and chairs, eating their food with gusto.
Xiong Dahe is indeed a big and strong man from Northeast China. The whole plate is like a drum, full to the brim.
In contrast to him was Lin Guang, who had a bowl of soup and a piece of watermelon and an apple on his plate.
Chen Ming asked in astonishment: "Is that all you're eating?"
Lin Guang asked in surprise, "This is already a lot!"
Chen Ming looked at the food on his plate, wondering if he had misunderstood the word "more"...
Chang Heng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Don't worry about him. The third brother has a small appetite. Even the section chief eats more than him. His comrades say that he is saving military expenses for the country."
Chang Heng's appetite is normal, not too much or too little, just right, in line with the normal person's standard.
No wonder it looks so small.
Chen Ming couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
He didn't say anything else and just started eating with big mouthfuls. There were many different kinds of food and each bite gave a different feeling.
In less than five minutes, Chen Ming finished eating and even burped slightly.
When he looked up, he was stunned again. The other three were still eating slowly, without any sign of urgency at all.
Lin Guang held a piece of watermelon in both hands and took small bites of it, while staring at Chen Ming with a pair of curious eyes: "How long have you not eaten? Doesn't the recruit company provide meals?"
It’s no wonder that Lin Guang was curious. Chen Ming’s eating speed was no different from that of a starving ghost.
Chen Ming also looked at them in surprise.
In the recruit company, if anyone dared to eat at this speed, the squad leader would slap his head into the food.
Chang Heng had a smiling face all the time and said to Lin Guang, "You just graduated from the recruit company, so it's understandable."
After that, he explained to Chen Ming: "We are not in a hurry like the ordinary companies. None of us have to be on duty tonight. After dinner, we will just go back to the dormitory and lie down. There is no need to be so anxious. Eat slowly. Eating too fast is not good for the stomach."
Chen Ming listened to their explanation and sighed again, it was worthy of being a nursing department.
Damn, I’m really getting healthy!
It took them nearly fifteen minutes to finish eating, which made Chen Ming, who had just been sent out of the vigorous and vigorous recruit company, a little uncomfortable. In order to wait for them, he also went to get a glass of orange juice with ice, and drank it slowly while doing nothing and waiting slowly.
Lin Guang kindly reminded: "It's not good for your health to drink cold drinks right after a meal."
Chen Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, "I feel like I'm not old enough to retire yet."
After dinner, it was almost seven o'clock when they returned to Suse. Chang Heng took out a cigarette and gave one to Xiong Dahe and Chen Ming respectively. In order to take care of Lin Guang who didn't smoke, the three of them squatted on the balcony and blew smoke rings.
Looking at the scarlet cigarettes and then at the sky that was about to turn dark, Chen Ming couldn't help but think of the recruit company.
Usually at this time in the recruit company, everyone goes to the classroom to watch the news broadcast.
However, the Information Department does not need this. Every person in the dormitory has a computer and can watch movies anytime they want.
After smoking, Chen Ming sat on the chair, not knowing what to do. Today's sign-in task was completed, so there was no need to play games.
Looking at the computer, Chen Ming felt empty inside. He was used to watching the news broadcast, but now that he didn't watch it, he always felt like something was missing.
Immediately, he turned on the computer, entered the intranet system, opened the news broadcast, and watched it.
Everyone looked at the news broadcast page on Chen Ming's computer in surprise, and seeing Chen Ming's excited expression, they couldn't help but raise their fingers.
"This level of ideological awareness is beyond the reach of me."
Chapter 55: New system functions, and we need to develop games
At ten o'clock, Chen Ming lay down on the bed consciously.
The other three also sat on the bed, but none of them showed any intention of sleeping.
Xiong Dahe was wearing a vest and doing push-ups on the bed, mumbling softly: "101, 102, 103..."
Lin Guang and Chang Heng were not surprised by this. Although he was a technician, Xiong Dahe attached great importance to his figure and exercised for an hour every day before going to bed.
Lin Guang was sitting on the bed, holding a book and reading it with great interest.
At first Chen Ming thought it was a book about programming techniques or C language, until he accidentally glanced at the cover. Wow, it was "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"!
It turns out that such a thin person also has the dream of traveling the world with a sword in his heart.
As for Chang Heng, he has a simple bedside table where he writes his diary. He has a good habit of writing a diary.
Chen Ming suddenly thought of a movie that has not yet been released in this era:
"Who, seriously, writes in a diary?"
"Can what is written be considered as what is in one's heart?"
"Despicable!"
Thinking of this funny clip, Chen Ming couldn't help but grin, and even had the urge to clink glasses with others.
Of course, he just felt funny when he thought of this scene. In fact, Chen Ming really admired people who were used to writing diaries.
After all, this is also a form of self-discipline. Many people in later generations rarely insist on writing a diary every day. They often lie on the bed, turn on their mobile phones, and fall asleep happily without knowing it.
Chen Ming lay on the bed, staring and waiting for a long time. Seeing that the lights were still on, he subconsciously asked, "Why haven't you turned off the lights today?"
Chang Heng, who was writing in his diary, and Lin Guang, who was absorbed in reading a novel, couldn't help but look up.
Chang Heng said apologetically, "Uh, wait a minute. I'll turn off the light after I finish writing the last line."
Lin Guang also picked up the book and was about to climb out of bed, "Then I'll go to the bathroom and read it."
Chen Ming suddenly realized that this was no longer a recruit company, but the Information Department. They would not just turn off the main switch when the lights were turned off!
Chang Heng, Lin Guang and the others thought that Chen Ming was going to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep because of the light, so he blamed them for not turning off the lights!
Realizing this, Chen Ming quickly said, "No, no, no, I'm used to it in the recruit company. I thought the power would go out here at some point."
"You guys should do what you are supposed to do. I'm just asking out of curiosity. It's okay." Chen Ming said repeatedly.
Maybe this is their habit. We can't force them to cater to us and destroy our own habits.
Chang Heng heard Chen Ming's explanation and responded with a smile: "We manage the lights ourselves. Sometimes when there is a problem with the system, we may be asked to get out of bed and work, so there is basically no power outage here."
After a pause, Chang Heng said: "Of course, this situation is extremely rare. At least we have never encountered it in such a long time since we came here."
Chen Ming nodded thoughtfully.
"You go to bed first. We are used to going to bed after eleven o'clock." Chang Heng said, reaching out to turn off the light above Chen Ming's head.
Chen Ming smiled and nodded at him, "Thank you."
Then close your eyes.
But he didn't sleep either. Instead, he summoned the system in his mind: "System, open the points mall."
After the novice period, Chen Ming still had two areas of the system to explore, one was the points mall, and the other was the game workshop.
The cold voice of the system in my mind responded: "Yes."
After he finished speaking, Chen Ming felt dizzy. When the dizziness passed, a towering wall appeared in his field of vision.
It's more like a huge vending machine than a wall.
Chen Ming stood in front of the vending machine and felt extremely small.
