00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the ReDian website.
00:05Times are constantly improving, and now all industries are calling for industrial transformation,
00:09for a mechanical era.
00:11But some people will say that not all industries can transform and use machines.
00:16It's like a chef.
00:18You have to turn on the fire to stir-fry, you have to scoop up, you have to cook for a good taste.
00:22Robots can't do it.
00:24This may be a small part of people's understanding.
00:28In fact, in our neighboring Singapore, someone has broken this perception and launched the fried noodles robot.
00:34Now you don't have to hire a chef, you just need to use a machine to fry a plate of Singaporean Hokkien noodles.
00:41The boss of the fried noodles robot is a 53-year-old engineer named Hong Jifeng.
00:47A year ago, he resigned from full-time work and switched to being a hawker.
00:51He also opened a Singapore Hokkien noodle stall in the hawker center and hired a machine cook.
00:57When Hong Jifeng was interviewed by the media, he said that he loved cooking when he was a child.
01:02But after his mother found out that he was passionate about the hawker business, she warned him.
01:07If you dare to be a hawker, I'll kill you.
01:10That's how he kept his dream of becoming a hawker.
01:14He didn't dare to touch the hawker industry for most of his life.
01:17During Hong Jifeng's growth, he didn't disobey his mother's orders.
01:21After graduating from university, he became an engineer.
01:24Later, he founded a technology company with three partners.
01:28But he never gave up his dream of being a caterer and a hawker.
01:33Later, he resigned from the position of Director of Internet Enterprise Development at the University of Singapore.
01:39He switched to being a hawker.
01:41However, when he started to prepare the stall,
01:43even though he offered a high salary of RMB4,000, which is about RMB13,200, he said he couldn't hire anyone for nearly a year.
01:54Until last September, he spent RMB28,000, which is about RMB90,000,
01:59to buy two robots from a friend in Wuhan, China.
02:06He started a business of frying noodles with robots in a local hawker center in Singapore.
02:10He also named his robot as I Love.
02:16What does I Love mean?
02:17It means Work AI.
02:19From October this year to now,
02:21Hong Jifeng said he can sell about 200 sets of Fujian noodles every day.
02:24His business is doing well.
02:26Okay, that's all for the story.
02:27I believe many of the audience in front of the TV must be wondering,
02:30can I eat the noodles fried by robots?
02:33What does it taste like?
02:35When it comes to frying noodles, the most important thing is Work AI.
02:38How does a robot fry Work AI?
02:40Hong Jifeng said,
02:42Indeed.
02:43At first, some people couldn't accept the Singaporean version of Fujian noodles fried by robots.
02:49Some customers told him,
02:51this cooking method doesn't have a wok.
02:54He said he was willing to accept it.
02:56And he turned all the criticism into positive motivation.
03:00Now, they even invite customers to participate in the research and development.
03:04Many older customers will also provide valuable suggestions.
03:07And now, their Fujian noodles fried by robots
03:10will be upgraded to the fifth version in two weeks.
03:14And this version will be designed to improve the wok and chili flavor of Fujian noodles.
03:20Hong Jifeng also said,
03:22Interestingly, in the process of inviting customers to participate in the feedback and development,
03:26he found that many customers also felt more at home when they fried Fujian noodles by robots.
03:31And he recommended it to his family and friends around him.
03:34However, the fact that Fujian noodles fried by robots doesn't mean that the stall doesn't need to be managed by employees at all.
03:41Some jobs, such as cooking shrimp and peeling shrimp shells, still need to be done by hand.
03:46At present, what robots do is just the process of frying noodles.
03:51But Hong Jifeng believes that with the development of technology,
03:54robots will also be able to do this kind of preparation work in the next two or three years.
03:58Hong Jifeng told the media that he introduced robots to replace man-made noodles.
04:03It's not just about making money.
04:05He said it's more about feelings.
04:08He said he really couldn't bear to see Singapore's traditional food gradually disintegrate into history.
04:12Therefore, he hopes to help Singaporean hawkers find new ways through technological development and transformation.
04:19So that hawkers' careers can also move forward with time.
04:22He hopes that those experienced hawkers can take robots as their students and pass their skills on to robots.
04:29Hong Jifeng said his future goal is to set up a restaurant that sells Singaporean hawker food abroad to promote Singaporean food.
04:37But if you want to promote Singaporean hawker food abroad,
04:41you may not be able to invite authentic chefs from abroad.
04:45Therefore, if you can use robots to make ready-made recipes,
04:50you can easily bring local food to all corners of the world.
