From aluminum lunch box to intelligent ordering high-speed railway, there is a "Chinese taste"

Whether in the era of green cars or high-speed rail, our expectation for trains is never just speed and efficiency, but also the idea of having enough to eat and drink. A 6031 a 6031 people live on food. Whether at home or out of the house, Chinese people have never lowered their requirements for food. Even on the way, try to eat well.

is the first choice for long-distance travel. The meals on the train concentrate people's pursuit of eating and the change of diet. Since the founding of the people's Republic of China 70 years ago, the railway has experienced great changes from the green leather car to the high-speed railway, from coal stove burning to the era of electricity. The food on the car is also good from full to locked nutrition, from lunch box recycling to intelligent ordering, from a single dish to a variety of dishes. The taste of food flowing on the train is an indispensable part of passengers' sense of happiness, acquirement and satisfaction. No matter how the speed of the train changes, this kind of taste always brings us full memories. A 6031 a 6031 talking about the previous dining car conditions, Zhao Hongji, Secretary of the general Party branch of Beijing Chongqing motorcade in Shijiazhuang Passenger transport section who has worked on the railway for more than 40 years, is deeply touched. In the 1970s and 1980s, the sanitary conditions of the train dining car were very limited. A stove was used to burn coal, and a coal box was attached to the stove. The cook not only cooks and cooks, but also adds coal to the stove. Coal smoke and oil rushed into the cook's nostrils from the coal box. Although he was wearing a mask, for a long time, the nostrils were full of coal ash. At that time, the way of storing food materials by train was also very primitive. The "earth refrigerator" of that time was made of iron case wrapped with quilt and ice. For the train more than two days on the way, ice should be added on the way to ensure the food quality and safety. A 6031 a 6031 chef Huang Ye often listens to the previous stories told by the masters. At that time, the dining car was very bitter. In winter, there was wind everywhere, only a fire in the chest. Summer is like steaming sauna, wet all over, clothes have never been dry, body full of prickly heat. The chef's favorite moment is the short period of time when he spreads ice all over the "earth refrigerator". He can also get a short cool. The train runs unevenly, the brake switch shakes a lot, and the vegetables are often cut to the fingers.

in the past, the variety of meals was very limited, basically two or three dimes of boxed rice. The first boxed rice was packed in a recyclable aluminum lunch box. In the 1970s and 1980s, the way the trains served food was still marked by planned economy. Two or three hours before the meal order, the chief of the dining car will arrive at the carriage early to sell the meal ticket. The dining car will prepare the meal according to the passenger flow and the sales situation of the meal ticket, and pack the meal in the aluminum lunch box. The waiter of the dining car will push the cart to the carriage, and the passenger will exchange the meal ticket for the box meal. Most of the boxed rice is rice, with a little meat and vegetables on it. It's very similar to the current covered rice. There are only one or two kinds of rice, most of them are muxur meat and shredded pork with snow vegetables. Occasionally, braised pork is very popular with tourists. When the passengers are almost finished, the conductor will push the car to clean up the empty lunch box.

with the upgrading of vehicle equipment, dining cars have entered the era of electrical appliances since the 1990s, such as induction cooker, rice steamer, range hood and refrigerator. The 6-square-meter back kitchen has become orderly, the chef's cooking efficiency has been improved rapidly, the shelf life of food materials has become controllable, and the dining car staff no longer need to stand in the "oven" to work. After the reform and opening-up of

, the market competition and challenges of train catering are also coming. On the platform, peddlers push their carts to sell boxed rice with different flavors and special snacks. Multiple choices make many passengers choose to buy rice and get on the train at the passing station. For this reason, the train has to vigorously organize the staff of the dining car for training, from cooking, table setting to service, one by one to improve quality and efficiency. The dining car supply began to innovate constantly. Leisure snacks such as Babao porridge, melon seeds and peanuts were provided for the leisure of the passengers, while cover rice, fried rice and special dishes provided the dinner options for the passengers.

in the era of electrical appliances, the environment of dining car has been improved in quality, and the demand of passengers for food and beverage has also been diversified. The variety of food is no longer single, from only requiring sufficient quantity of food to striving for the transformation of "fine cooking of coarse vegetables and fine cooking of fine vegetables". The train catering not only has the traditional box rice, the Paomian, but also increased the fruit, the small food and so on. The boxed rice uses a one-time sub format edible plastic lunch box, which is covered with a transparent box cover, and can contain three dishes, one rice, and some chicken legs or marinated eggs. In order to ensure the taste and taste of dishes, the dining car also launched a "one pot stir fry".

in order to meet the needs of passengers from the tip of the tongue to the tip of the heart, the service of the dining car introduces the table setting of the dining car, the folding and flower arrangement of napkins, etc. At the beginning of each train, an art table will be designed for the dining car so that the passengers can have a good appetite and a good eye. Wang JiangHao, the front desk attendant of the dining car, used his napkin to fold the crane to make it lifelike, which attracted the tourists to take photos frequently. The chefs in the background of

are not willing to lag behind, and they are making delicious dishes with excellence. Young chef Huang Ye can not only make delicious dishes in his work, but also learn simple fruit and vegetable carving techniques. By carving a few small flowers with radish, he can decorate simple dishes with interest and add interest to the tourists' journey.

now the train has entered the era of high-speed rail, and the catering service is more convenient through the help of the mobile Internet. In addition to all kinds of packages provided by the scheduled train, you can also order take out online, so that passengers can enjoy delicious food along the way while traveling comfortably. Shijiazhuang station, as one of the first batch of stations to open Internet delivery, is equipped with Internet delivery center. At present, nearly 40 kinds of catering products have been signed with 7 businesses including KFC and Yosano, and 10 kinds of local specialties such as Liqian and Gaocheng palace noodles in Zhaoxian county are available for tourists to choose. There are 200 meals per day, and nearly 800 on peak days. Mr. Song, a 6031 passenger, said happily, "the first thing after getting on the train is to order takeout online. Along the way, there are more than 20 kinds of take out products. There are different tastes in North and South stations, including spicy, sour and sweet, and pasta. Children like to eat fast food to order KFC and McDonald's, they are very happy. When my mother was old, the boxed meals on the high-speed rail were nutritious, so I ordered steamed fish boxed meals for my mother. But the wife likes the local characteristic, eats everywhere along the way. It's easier to place an order with your mobile phone. It's more convenient than in a restaurant. "
