The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

Chapter 81 - Birthday Feast – Side A

Chapter 81 Birthday Feast – Side A

After Ruan Tang greeted everyone to take their seats, he took the cake into the kitchen again. This will be taken out as dessert.

There were two round tables in the living room, covered with festive red tablecloths. A customized turntable was placed in the center of each table to allow the guests to conveniently reach the dishes.

“Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come and celebrate my brother’s birthday.” After everyone was seated, He Yun Yi, as one of the main planners of this birthday feast, took the initiative to greet the guests. “Come, let’s try it together — a new drink called cola developed by our Academy of Sciences!”

The crowd picked up the cup in front of them and took a sip. It was a bubbly beverage and had a hint of bitterness amidst its sweet taste. They weren’t used to it at first but after a while, they thought that it was a very delicious drink! Yes, they felt like they had opened the door to a new world.

“It’s us who should be thanking you. Not everyone can get a taste of Mr. Ruan’s cooking.” Everyone responded with a smile.

He Yun Chen was dazed as he was led to be seated at the dining table. Looking at all the familiar faces around him, he couldn’t help the rush of warmth that filled his chest. He didn’t know what celebrating a birthday meant, but having friends and family all come together for the special purpose of celebrating his birthday, made him feel happy and filled with affection.

Many people approached He Yun Chen to chat with him and to give him their well-prepared gifts.

As he was talking with the guests, Ruan Tang and Tao An brought out four cold dishes; something to cushion their stomachs before the hot dishes were served.

“Garlic white meat, cold cucumber salad, potato salad and braised chicken feet. Please enjoy.” Ruan Tang said with a smile.

“A’Tang, you should also take a seat and eat with us.” Seeing Ruan Tang going back to the kitchen again, He Yun Chen hurriedly reached out and pulled him over.

“Alright.” All the dishes had been prepared in advance and were all in the fresh-keeping cabinet. It would be the same if he just had the smart robot bring it out. Ruan Tang followed his good advice and sat down next to him. He took his glass and clinked it against He Yun Chen’s. “Chen Ge, happy birthday.”

“Thank you.” Looking at how Ruan Tang’s entire face lit up with a smile, He Yun Chen’s heart surged with warmth.

He Yun Yi lowered his head and said a few words to his younger brother. After seeing him nod, he signaled Ruan Tang to take out the live camera. This birthday banquet was to be broadcasted live. He had already notified the guests earlier on and had just asked He Yun Chen’s opinion just now. After everyone agreed, he let Ruan Tang start the live broadcast.

Ruan Tang placed the live camera in the center of the turntable, limiting the live broadcast range to the dining table.

“Hello everyone, I am the anchor, Ruan Tang. Today is the birthday of my good friend, He Yun Chen and I have prepared a rich birthday banquet for him. Let’s try it together.” The last sentence was not only for the guests, but also for the audience watching the broadcast.

[Miao Miao loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor: Oh! It turned out to be the Marshal’s birthday! I am officially jealous! I also want to eat food personally made by the anchor on my birthday! QAQ Also, happy birthday to Marshal He!]

[Can’t stop hugging trees: Happy birthday, Marshal He! Oooh, the garlic white meat is delicious!]

The cold cucumber salad’s sweet and sour taste was very fresh and refreshing and the potato salad was soft and tasty. But the most outstanding dishes were the garlic white meat and braised chicken feet. Garlic white meat was made by mixing thin slices of pork belly with soy sauce, garlic puree and chili oil. It tasted spicy and savory. It had a strong garlic flavor and wasn’t at all fatty. It tasted extremely delicious. Ruan Tang had spent a whole day on the braised chicken feet. They were stewed well in a mixture of broth, soy sauce and spices. It had absorbed all the flavor and was very tasty. With one bite, the skin would slip right off the bones. These people who had never eaten chicken feet before, couldn’t stop nibbling on it.

The living room was extremely quiet, no one had time to talk. All of them hunkered down to eat.

[Flowering: My god, these people eat too fast! Leave us a little bit! QAQ]

[Salted Fish was originally fish: Ah Ah Ah! Let go of my chicken feet!]

Probably the only thing that the audience resented was how fast the guests ate. They ate too fast, leaving them no way to taste the food. But this was a lot better than when they could only watch as the guests ate during the reception banquet.

The smart robot quickly brought the first hot dish to the table. The Shui Zhu Fish was a dish that had been served at the Rute reception. Unfortunately, at that time, the audience had no way to taste its deliciousness. Today was finally their chance. After the smart robot finished serving the dish, he also took away the empty plate back to the kitchen for cleaning.

The red peppers and white fish were soaked in boiling hot oil. Some slight crackling sounds could still be faintly heard. The hot steam was imbued with a spicy flavor that hit them square in the face. The fish was tender and springy. Its rich flavor was tingling-ly spicy and savory. It tasted so good, people wanted to swallow their tongues along with it.

[Nanke Dream: Huh, so spicy! Turns out that Shui Zhu fish fillets taste like this! Fantastic!]

[Little Swallows fly and fly: I don’t know why, I’m just eating virtual data but this is making me sweat. Not only the fish fillets, but also the garnishes underneath are delicious ...]

[If you are upset, you are upset: No wonder the last time the Rutes came, they were so fond of this dish. It’s really delicious!]

At this point, the second dish, a large full pot of spicy crabs, was served. Before it was even brought to the table, you could already smell the unique fragrance.

[Genuine Devil: Wow, this is the water monster from the 19th planet! It’s huge!]

[Tomato Douzi: Oh, yes! Meaty and delicious! But I don’t think it isn’t available on the shopping site yet! I wonder when I’d be able to eat it...]

[Ecole: ah ah ah! My crab roe! Who took my crab roe!]

From time to time, shrieks would come from the audience. After all, the virtual data was based on real objects. Once the number of real objects decreased, the amount they could taste would also decrease accordingly. The audience could only desperately speed up to “seize food from the tiger’s mouth.”

The guests’ plates quickly filled with shells. The smart housekeeper stepped forward to collect the plates and replace them with new ones.

The third dish was Mapo Tofu, which seemed very simple, but in fact, Ruan Tang had cooked it with bone broth that he’d boiled for six hours. The tofu had absorbed all the meaty savory-ness and the taste was simply amazing.

[Hand over the dried fish to the kitty: I know I’ve eaten Mapo Tofu before, but it’s incomparable to this one.This tastes so good!]

[Weak hearted fool: It’s been three consecutive spicy dishes. Could it be that the anchor is going for a spicy banquet tonight? I, I can’t eat spicy foods qwq]

[Bai Xuanyuan: Although I’m not too good with spicy dishes either, but these dishes taste so good. Even if I’m dying from the spiciness, I still want to eat them!]

[It’s Lord Jiu not A’Jiu: I’ve already drank three glasses of water ... nothing can stop me from eating!]

The fourth dish was wok grilled bullfrog. Because it was a new dish, after the dish was served, Ruan Tang also told them the name of the dish and introduced this new ingredient to everyone.

[Darling Yuan: My God! Why is it that these ugly ingredients make for such good food?]

[Yin Xiaoyu: Yeah! I saw a sketch of this ingredients on the same shopping site. It was really scary! I can’t believe this ugly thing could be this delicious after it’s been cooked.]

[The April Turtledove flicks its feathers: Doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not! I’m gonna eat it first!]

[Black souled Blue Demon: It’s! So! So! So! Good! Ahhhhh! My mother asked me why I was crying!]

This wok grilled bullfrog had been dry-fried, so the surface had a slightly crispy texture, while the meat inside was delicate and smooth. The meat could easily be pulled free from the bone. The carefully prepared sauce made with a combination of Sichuan pepper and chili peppers covered the frog meat completely. After taking a bite, the spicy flavors burst in your mouth. You simply can’t stop eating it!

Next was the Qiang Guo Chinese Perch. Ruan Tang selected a big Chinese Perch that weighed six pounds. He then created more than 20 slits on the fish and then marinated it for four hours, in order to let the fish absorb more flavor. After the fish was marinated, it was deep fried over high heat. Then the fried chili peppers, soy beans, crushed peanuts and other condiments were poured over the fish and piled high into a bright red pepper mountain.

Once served, everyone couldn’t help but make a sound of surprise.

Open the Chili Mountain and the entire fish would appear. It looked very spicy, but in fact, it tasted just right. The fish was crispy and tender, and each bite came with some soy beans and crushed peanuts. It was amazingly tasty!

[Inexplicably Following You: delicious, delicious, delicious! Oh my god! How could it be so delicious?!!]

[LG Xilin: It looks very spicy, but it tastes just right. And there’s something fragrant and crunchy amongst the ingredients, it’s really delicious!]

Not only was the audience full of praise, but the guests too showed their approval by stuffing their oil-smeared mouths.

The sixth dish, steamed eggs with foie gras was finally on the table. This was the only non-spicy dish after five consecutive spicy dishes.

Although the stomachs of people in the future were quite strong, they couldn’t just eat spicy dishes. Otherwise their mouths would become numb. A non-spicy dish should be used to relieve the spiciness in their mouths.

Steamed eggs with Foie Gras was made by chiseling a small hole directly at the top of the egg. Pour out the egg and mix it with the appropriate amount of salt and pepper. Goose liver is soaked to rid it of the blood, cut into small pieces, and fried with butter until it was golden yellow on both sides. Pour the mixed egg liquid back into the egg shell and steam it in a pot. Add caviar and foie gras on top of the steamed eggs and top it with a few drops of savory sauce. Then, it was ready to serve.

Steamed eggs with Foie Gras was allocated per head; each guest would receive one. The eggs were delicious and smooth, the foie gras was crispy on the outside and tender inside. With the plump grains of fish roe, each rich and luxurious-tasting spoonful left as rich aftertaste.

[Drunken Breeze: I am officially unwilling to accept this! These people eat too fast! I hadn’t even figured out what foie gras is before they swallowed it all down!]

[Mother Ginny’s little sweet: Hey, I couldn’t grab anything to eat, so unhappy!]

Ruan Tang saw them and laughed. He could not help whispering, “Everyone come and eat my portion.”

[Peach Pudding: Wow, Anchor, you’re so nice!]

[Little transparent: Anchor, Anchor, I love you!]

[Just want to watch the sunrise: My God, this is really delicious! This foie gras is so delicious It’s a pity that there’s so little ...]

[Flying puppet: Yes! The small beads on it are delicious too!]

“Next time, when I have a chance, I will make pan-fried foie gras for everyone so that everyone can eat their fill.”
