Noodle cutting robot enjoys popularity

在山西太原一個面食店內，戴著套袖的卡通人物"喜洋洋"削面機器人十分忙碌，他手端面團，削面熟練程度一點兒不亞于身旁的廚師。吸引了不少人前來用餐，尤其是小孩子.

In a noodle shop in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, a noodle cutting robot in shape of the cartoon character "Pleasant Goat", who wears over-sleeves, is very busy. With the dough held in his hand, his proficiency at slicing the noodles off is as good as, if not better than, the cook beside him. He attracts the attention of many customers, especially the children.

這家面食店的味道不錯，所以客流量很大，削面師傅一人常常忙不過來，于是就購買了"喜洋洋"削面機器人。這個削面機器人節能省電，工作效率是人工削面的三倍，而且不要工錢不跳槽，是個可以信賴的"好廚子".

The noodles provided by this noodle shop taste good, thus a great number of customers eat here on a regular basis. The cook who cuts noodles is often too busy, so they bought the "Pleasant Goat" noodle cutting robot, which is energy-saving and its work efficiency is three times that of one man. Besides, he doesn't earn a salary and will never be a job-hopper. He is a trustworthy "good cook".
