Noodle cutting robot enjoys popularity

在山西太原一个面食店内，戴着套袖的卡通人物"喜洋洋"削面机器人十分忙碌，他手端面团，削面熟练程度一点儿不亚于身旁的厨师。吸引了不少人前来用餐，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.

这家面食店的味道不错，所以客流量很大，削面师傅一人常常忙不过来，于是就购买了"喜洋洋"削面机器人。这个削面机器人节能省电，工作效率是人工削面的三倍，而且不要工钱不跳槽，是个可以信赖的"好厨子".

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".
