Chapter 118: What a Waste of Resources
"Come for breakfast," said Zhang Qin Feng. The dining table was filled with a few dishes that they haven\'t seen before in their life.
"Wow! What is this!" Miria and Miriam were the fastest to grab a seat on the chairs. Based on their expression, the two were brought here by the delicious coming out from the penthouse.
Victor and Valerian were the next to grab a seat on the available chairs. Satella soon comes out from the room after everyone was seated. She still had that exhausted appearance and disheveled hairstyle on her.
\'How did our Vice-Boss end up like this?\' they asked. Turning their head back to where Zhang Qin Feng was cooking, they sighed.
\'Our boss is a nice person, but he\'s a beast in the bed. If things keep on, I\'m afraid that our Vice-Boss will collapse sooner or later.\' that was what they thought while waiting for Zhang Qin Feng to finish what he\'s cooking.
Marvin appeared last, just before Zhang Qin Feng brought the bowl of soup over to the table. From Marvin\'s look, he\'s nowhere better than Satella.
"What\'s wrong with you?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. He knew that he gave this guy something to do, but he didn\'t ask him to work himself to this state.
"Heh, boss… I\'ve done it." Marvin chuckled in his reply. The smile that comes after his words seems to be hinting at something.
"Grab your breakfast first. I\'ll come to your workshop later. Also, clean yourself a little while you got time. Don\'t you think you looked like a mess right now?" Zhang Qin Feng grabbed a butter roll from the table and threw it at Marvin.
Although the table of breakfast seems to be well prepared, most of it came from instant packaging. What Zhang Qin Feng did on them was just preheating, plating, and mixing them together.
As he was unsure if they can accept the flavor, Zhang Qin Feng started it with processed meat first.
Making them accepting the processed meat shouldn\'t be a problem since they\'ve been introduced to sausage rolls, Luncheon Meat pastries, and Mocked Meat products. It was a positively versatile product, after all.
"What do you think about the breakfast?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
The butter roll was from a brand similar to what his uncle\'s stores had before. There are ten rolls in a pack, and each butter roll was individually packed.
As for the soup, it was made from a packet of fermented bean paste. The preparation method was simple, and there\'s a few different types of packaging based on individual needs. The condiments are also packed individually and can be added or skipped based on the needs of the person eating them.
Except for that, Zhang Qin Feng also brought in a few instant noodles with different flavors and few types of buckwheat noodles. His intention was to see how they accepted the food based on their own preference.
"So, what do you think about them? Will it be convenient for the survivors?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. If these products were in demand to the base, he could start sourcing them or even focusing on them through his own food business.
After all, to the current Zhang Qin Feng, all he need was to inform Alice Moon about his intention and let her search for the relevant professionals with the correct knowledge.
"They\'re tasty. I think the people would like it." everyone nodded in approval after tasting everything Zhang Qin Feng prepared on the dining table.
Judging from the time he took to prepare them, it was just a short of half an hour. To make a seven people\'s meal in half an hour is considered quick.
"Alright. Then what kind of staple food you guys think I should get more to the base?" Zhang Qin Feng asked.
"INSTANT NOODLES!" the other six answered without hesitation.
"All of you…" Zhang Qin Feng was a little pissed as they choose the Instant Noodle instantly. He was preparing so much for them from the morning, and all they could think of was that quick and easy instant noodles.
But since it was the hottest item on the list, Zhang Qin Feng widens the option to three products. After some debate, it ended up with fish paste at the second-highest on-demand and fermented bean paste at the third.
(The term fish paste was used because having canned tuna or salmon chunks ruin the concept of processed food. So instead of introducing the food straight to its rawest form, I\'m using the spreadable fish paste, like tuna mayo or the flour paste for fishballs instead. Hopefully, the readers understand. I\'m sure most Asians would get it thou… Because it\'s our staple, daily food)
"Then, I\'ll make sure that I focus on these kinds of food the next time I bring more of them here. If there\'s nothing else, everyone can return their place. I\'ll visit later."
"Your place is going to be the last, Marvin. Go get a shower." Zhang Qin Feng said.
"Alright!" everyone nodded and left, leaving only Zhang Qin Feng and Satella in the penthouse.
"Hmm… Did what we talked about on the table somewhat related to what you\'re doing back in your place? What you\'re doing there anyway?" Satella asked. She seemed interested in Zhang Qin Feng\'s job back in his modern world.
"And… By the way, I have something to give you. You might need them. I\'ll get it out before you\'re leaving, alright?" Satella added.
"En." Zhang Qin Feng nodded.
Soon, he started to explain what kind of life he had in the modern world. Feeling that there\'s no reason for him to hide Wang Yufei\'s existence, he brought her out in their discussion as well.
And the way he shared everything he went through so far made Satella more than just curious.
"Based on what you say, the people from your world actually grow up themselves? There\'s no growth tank nor cloning facilities over there?" she was surprised. If it was based on Zhang Qin Feng\'s explanation, won\'t it take twenty years to reach Zhang Qin Feng\'s age?
"That\'s correct." Zhang Qin Feng nodded.
"Wow… What a waste of resources." her following sentence was just out of Zhang Qin Feng\'s expectation.
