Question

【题目】 Several robot chefs started cooking local dishes in May last year at a restaurant in Changsha. They can finish cooking fried meat with capsicum（辣椒）in two minutes.

These robot chefs were created by Li Zhiming, owner of the restaurant. He has spent nearly four years inventing the robots. To make a robot that can cook authentic（正宗的）local dishes, Li visited some masters of Hunan cuisine. He learned recipes from them, and carefully studied the ingredients（原料）and cooking techniques used in preparing each dish. This was not an easy task, because each dish has its own unique recipe and cooking process. The restaurant owner says tons of ingredients have been used to improve the robot chefs’ ability to cook authentic and delicious Hunan cuisine.

There are now three robot chefs and two human workers in Li’s restaurant. The human workers are responsible for putting different ingredients, such as vegetables and meat, into specially designed boxes for the robots to use; while the robot chefs cook and clean the dishes. These special chefs can cook 40 different classic local dishes.

At present, Li’s restaurant can sell more than 800 bowls of rice with local dishes every day. With the standardized（标准化的）robot chefs, Li hopes his restaurant will open up branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and even overseas cities in the future.
