Exploring the production base of high-speed rail box lunch： 20,000 vegetarian meals per day will be available.
BEIJING, Feb. 8 (Reporter Zhang Ni Li Jinlei) In recent years, high-speed rail has become the first choice for many people to go home in Spring Festival travel rush, and passengers’ expectations for the quality of high-speed rail lunches have also increased year by year.
How many kinds of packages can passengers get during their stay in Spring Festival travel rush this year? How to ensure the quality of box lunch? What does a vegetarian meal look like? A few days ago, the reporter from Zhongxin. com walked into the dining production base of Beijing Jingtie Train Service Co., Ltd. and made a field visit on issues of public concern.
There are up to 18 kinds of packages, and the lowest price is only in 10 yuan.
The reporter learned that at present, Beijing Jingtie Train Service Co., Ltd. currently serves as 94.5 pairs of first-class seats for high-speed trains, moving trains and sleeping rooms, VIP crew service and restaurant operation, and caters for 17 pairs of high-speed trains entering Beijing from 8 railway bureaus in Harbin, Nanchang, Jinan, Shanghai, Nanning, Guangzhou Railway, Kunming, Wuhan and Chengdu every day.
Jia Tao, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the company, said in an interview with Zhongxin. com that during the Spring Festival this year, the company prepared 18 kinds of fast food products at six different price points for tourists, and the package prices ranged from 10 yuan to 99 yuan.
From the specific types, 10 yuan meals include mushroom package, bean sprouts sauce meat package and bean paste package; 15 yuan meals include chili pepper diced meat set meal, meat-roasted kelp set meal, vegetarian and three fresh pies and noodles; 30 yuan has a vegetarian-cooked three-fresh set meal, a dried cow river and three-fresh shrimps. 45 yuan meals include braised pork with plum vegetables, braised pork, fish with chopped peppers, kung pao chicken and potato brisket. 65 yuan meal includes Pleurotus eryngii roast beef set meal and crystal shrimp set meal; 99 yuan set meal is black pepper and cowboy bone set meal.
"At present, the 45 yuan set meal is the most popular among tourists, and there is a plum dish with braised pork, which is the largest sales among all 45 yuan meals." Jia Tao told reporters.
He also explained that the company develops and produces distribution products according to the tastes of passengers on different routes.
"For example, people in Guangzhou who stir-fry beef river prefer to eat it. We mainly supply Beijing-Guangzhou line, while southerners prefer to buckle meat with plum dishes. We focus on Beijing-Shanghai line, so not 18 products are sold on one train at the same time." Jia Tao said.
Daily 20,000 copies of dry fried beef depend on manpower.
During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, in order to ensure the supply, the company produced about 20,000 boxes of lunch every day. In addition, the company has carried out strict checks on all links such as raw material procurement, washing and processing, cooking and cold chain transportation, and a special person is responsible for quality acceptance.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to let tourists fully experience the traditional flavor of China cuisine, the company adopts traditional hand-made methods for dry-fried beef river, braised pork, steamed stuffed bun and other meals at the same time of industrial production to ensure good color, fragrance, taste and shape.
Jia Tao said, because dry fried beef river needs stir-frying to reflect the flavor, in order to ensure the original flavor of the dish, the company specially used artificial stir-frying when making this dish.
In terms of the transportation of box lunch, in order to shorten the transportation time and ensure the freshness of box lunch, the company also introduced new measures during its stay in Spring Festival travel rush to change the delivery mode of meals outside Beijing.
In the optimization of train feeding, the company adjusted the catering mode of Tianjin West Railway Station from Beijing-Tianjin intercity train distribution to automobile refrigerated transportation.
Jia Tao said that although the transportation cost of 800 yuan is increased every day, this distribution method is not only convenient and quick, but also prolongs the sales time within the shelf life, and the whole process is controllable, which is conducive to preventing food safety risks, ensuring food safety and quality, and ensuring the taste of meals.
The vegetarian meal will be available for 45 yuan.
In addition to ensuring the quality of food, there are many innovations in this year’s high-speed rail box lunch, among which the launch of the all-vegetarian package is particularly interesting.
The reporter learned from Beijing Jingtie Train Service Co., Ltd. that this year, in order to meet the different catering needs of passengers, the company developed four vegetarian packages based on the traditional high-speed rail lunch package.
These four packages include kung pao chicken, beef tenderloin with black pepper, shredded pork with fish sauce, tomato fish steak, etc. Although the names sound like meat dishes, all the "meats" in the package are actually made from plant proteins.
According to reports, the vegetarian meal has not been put into production yet, but it will definitely meet with tourists during Spring Festival travel rush this year.
The relevant person in charge of the company said that at present, the pricing of the four packages is 45 yuan, which will be invested on a small scale in the initial stage, and then the company will adjust the production volume according to the passenger demand. Moreover, in the future, passengers can also book vegetarian meals online through 12306 Internet. (End)
