8月1日早上8点，我们来到AKSHAYA PATRA的厨房参观他们是如何准备午餐.
8:00am,1st, August, we started our visit in the kitchen in AKSHAYA PATRA.
每天的7点，工人们便开始准备午餐。
Every 7:00am, staff begins to prepare the meals.
首先，我们来到了仓库（warehouse）。为了保障卫生的要求，在进入仓库与厨房前，都需要在下图中的房间里换上统一的拖鞋，带上一次性的浴帽防止食材中混进杂物。
First, we arrived at the warehouse. To meet the hygien requirement, one has to wear one-time-use shower cap and wear the provided slippery to avoid stuff falling into the materials.
仓库里整齐的摆放着成吨的大米，AKSHAYA PATRA的大米全部由政府提供，每天都会消耗将近14吨的大米。蔬菜、香料等其他食材由AKSHAYA PATRA自行在固定市场采购。以下是部分食材的储存图片。

做饭前得第一步要将大米通过一个巨大的机器脱皮，每天早上9点半，成百袋的米饭由机器口进入，在机器来回的推动、摩擦、晃动中前进，大米中的石头、棉絮等杂物与大米分离开。
据工作人员介绍，每天会消耗大约14吨的大米。
The first to cook rice is to pour the raw rice into a huge machine, called RICE CLEANING MACHINE. Every 9:30am, bags of rice are poured into the machine to be pushed up and down. Thus, the stone, cotton is divided with the rice. According to the staff, a day’s consumption will reach 14 tons or so.
大米开始进入清洗程序。此道程序在厨房工厂的三楼进行。在这道工序前，大米由RICE&DAL BATCHING SYSTEM清洗然后盛放桶里，工作人员之后迅速而熟练的向桶里盛水、运送桶到输米口（见图）送到二楼进行蒸煮。
Then the rice goes into the washing procedure, which takes place at the third floor of the kitchen.
Before cooked, rice is washed by the RICE&DAL BATCHING SYSTEM, then into the containers.
The staff will fill the container with water and then delivered the rice into next step.

输米口由三楼直通二楼。厨房工厂共有3层，3楼负责大米的清洗等程序，2楼是烹饪的主要场所，1楼则是分装、装载到卡车的地方。
The big pipe reached to the second floor. There are 3 floors to cook------third floor for washing the rice, second for cooking, and first floor for delivery and unloading.
接下来，我们便随工作人员进入到了2楼。2楼分布着COOLING ROOM,里面存放着当天要用的蔬菜。每天将会消耗7吨左右的蔬菜。这些蔬菜由AKSHAYA PATRA自行采购。
Next, we visited the second floor’s cooling room, where the vegetables for daily use are stored.
The day-consumption reaches 7-8tons, purchased by staff everyday.
每天早上，工作人员都会将蔬菜洗净、切好，然后放进用来煮汤汁的桶形锅，加上很多不同的印度当地的香料来调味。90分钟后，腾着热气的浓浓的sambar就可以出锅了
这里，分为两侧摆放着10个用来煮饭的桶形锅，8个用来煮汤汁（sambar）。
每一个煮米饭桶形锅的容积是125KG，可以供1000个左右的儿童食用。大约要煮15-20分钟。每一个煮汤汁的桶形锅可以供6000个左右的儿童食用，大约要煮90分钟。
Every morning, staff will clean and cut the vegetables, then into the boilers for sambar, with various local spices. The steamy and hot sambar is ready after 90 minutes.
On the second floor, 10 boilers for rice and 8 boilers for sambar are laid on the both sides.
The capacity of each boiler for rice is 125KG, feeding 1000 children, while the sambar in each boiler feeds 6000 children. The rice needs 15-20 minutes, while the sambar needs 90 minutes.

当2楼的烹饪结束后，便由同样的管道输送到1楼。在1楼，工作人员只需要将盛放食物的保温桶放在类似龙头的出口，拧动龙头，sambar便有序的进入了桶中，之后放在传送带上，一桶桶的由等在厨房外面的工作人员摆放进卡车。米饭则由工作人员用大铲铲进桶中，同样装载到卡车中。
