My heart skipped a beat.

The document titled "Announcement of Winning Result of Automatic Cooking Machine Project" was finally released online. The series of asterisks presented by the project number are just like the countless nights we have spent in the past few months, finally added to the mosaic.

Who would have thought that it could be rolled up like this in the kitchen?

The purchasing group was in a panic.

Many people are speculating on who the three candidates are. Some people intercepted Sinopec's announcement, including the 10L cooking robot sold by Zhejiang Aidian for 75,000. Others dug up the competition held by Air China half a month ago. Hangzhou Chubao, Medi, and Yijiangnan competed for a spot. The smell of gunpowder could be smelled through the screen.

75,000 yuan. This number is like a thorn.

When we process the quotation, finance performs three calculations on the cost. There is such a requirement for mainframes, which must have a capacity of greater than or equal to 30 kilograms to implement semi-closed surround heating, and IH technology is still required. Even if the small machine is only greater than or equal to 5 kilograms, the pot body must be a solid food-grade iron pot. It's all money.

What's heavier than the iron pot are the invisible clauses

Didn't anyone pay attention to that line of fine print?

At the time of acceptance, the purchaser has the right to conduct random inspections and conduct destructive testing not exceeding 5% of the total number. If it is drawn and the test passes, they will pay the fee; if the test fails, we need to bear the test fee ourselves, and we will also have to replace the damaged one free of charge.

Those who have the status of Youte Zhichu should understand this kind of pain. They have just won the bid for Guangzhou Zheng'an worth 138,800 yuan, and they have also successfully obtained the two sets of items from Shenzhen Iron and Steel Qianhai. Behind these glamorous appearances, how many times do they need to withstand such "destructive" tests of trust?

In fact, the most tormenting thing is not the device itself.

It’s the sentence “Supports secondary development recipes for PC and mobile terminals”.

To put it more bluntly, what everyone is selling is not the iron pot, but the data contained in the pot, which refers to the thing called the cloud that allows the kitchen to "develop recipes" at any time. But what if the cloud crashes? Or what if the chef thinks it's better than frying it himself? For the Postal Savings Bank's business, Tibet Linzhi Zhongke was finally selected for settlement based on actual conditions. The four words "according to actual settlement" sound more like a bottomless feeling than any fixed price.

There is such a situation that we have been making statements, that is, mentioning IH three-dimensional heating, and also mentioning electromagnetic compatibility, and also emphasizing compliance with GB.* standards.

But can the temperature in the kitchen really be defined by those national standards?

The Beilun District Government Affairs Bureau spent 297,600 yuan to purchase two robots. Are the adults and aunties in the cafeteria really willing to let the machines take over the spoons? The military supply station spent 80,000 yuan to purchase a Rongchuang. Can its power be enough to replicate the nostalgia of veterans?

The announcement always ends with the cold "The public notice period is up..."

Then what?

Then the machine comes into play.

So, the engineer crouched in the back kitchen, which was full of greasiness. The engineer kept debugging the parameters called "semi-enclosed surround heating" over and over again.

Then, late one night, there was no one else in the kitchen. The iron-bump-like object that cost hundreds of thousands to purchase was squatting alone in the corner, with the unfinished recipe program still lit up on its screen.

It's not clear. What we're betting on is firing every time for the next three years (or even five years, assuming the motherboard isn't damaged).

The day the public notice period ended, I received a text message.

There are only three words: "hit."

I didn't reply.

He just raised his head and looked towards the kitchen. If we go to that place, will there really be a line of Iron Chefs standing in the future who will neither cry out about fatigue nor know how to secretly learn other people's skills?

Maybe.

But I have this understanding in my heart. The child who once secretly learned skills at the kitchen door, that is, myself, may no longer be able to smell the burnt smell on the master's sleeves that is only possessed by humans and carries body temperature.

Is it worth it?

Who knows.

A judge like the one in Jixi gave a score of 92.97. Who can remember where those 0.03 points were deducted?
