The Film Emperor’s Daily Live Cooking Broadcast - Chapter 73

Chapter 73

“Fat House Happy Water is a carbonated drink.”

Ruan Tang couldn’t help laughing. He was actually a homebody. When there was no invitation for an event, he basically stayed at home to study the ingredients and various recipes. Although he knew that Coca-Cola wasn’t healthy, he still liked the taste. He had read the Coco-Cola formula before so he had an impression of how to make it.

Coca-Cola’s main formula had already been made public. The main ingredients were sugar, carbonated water, caramel, phosphoric acid, and caffeine. However, Coca-Cola also has a core technology, called 7x, which was a closely guarded secret. Ruan Tang, of course, also didn’t know it. He just knew that the most basic ingredients for cola was water plus a small amount of sucrose, and infused with carbon dioxide.

Towards Coke and Sprite, Ruan Tang’s attitude was that if they managed to develop it, it would be his gain but if not, it won’t be any loss. So he would not insist on it. However, He Yun Yi was very much interested, using the light brain to record everything he said.

He asked, “This something-something water, how does it taste like?”

“At normal temperature the main point is its bubbly-ness, and iced ones will be more delicious.” Ruan Tang explained to him. “When it’s cold, the feeling as it hits your throat will be more intense, and it will bubble up in your throat. Because there’s a lot of gas in it, it can easy make your stomach swell and cause you to burp.”

He Yun Yi nodded and recorded this point as well. He will use it later to check the conformity of the product.

He was very confident that they would be able to develop this “Fat House Happy Water”. The researchers at their Academy of Sciences were the top talents in the interstellar world. Without a concrete direction, they might still be able to develop this using a roundabout way but with such a clear direction, there was nothing in the world that they cannot do!

Not to mention … his subordinates were also strongly motivated by their desire for good food.

But Ruan Tang’s main goal this time was not Coke and Sprite, but beer. Beer was a favorite of middle aged men but there were also fruit beers specially designed for women and young drinkers. It could be said that it was suitable for both young and old. And its production method was not as mysterious as Coke’s.

Before, he had already discussed winemaking with the Academy of Sciences. The Academy of Sciences has already developed yeast, and now he wanted to make beer, the only difference was hops.

After talking about the three kinds of happy water, Ruan Tang’s spirit was refreshed. Whether they could actually come out with these things was secondary; for him, being able to talk about it like this was very satisfying. While they were discussing how to make happy water, the surrounding neighbors had finished. They had finished off all the dishes on the table.

Now that they had all calmed down, they didn’t wait for Ruan Tang to say anything. They also felt quite embarrassed.

“Mr. Ruan … Thank you for your hospitality.” They came forward to express their gratitude. Confirming once again, they whispered, “Is it really possible to eat these things?”

Ruan Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Didn’t you just have a taste of these yourself?”

“This is …”

Recalling the delicious dishes they just tasted, they couldn’t help drooling. They could imagine how much people will like these new ingredients. The neighbors were inspired. For them to be able to live in this area, everyone was of a certain economic level. Many people had numerous workers under them. At this time, they were already planning the fishing operations that would arise in the future.

What fearsome monsters? What legends? In the face of profit, all these things had to stand aside.

After eating and drinking their fill, Ruan Tang began to prepare Ruan Yu’s meal. He wasn’t sure if Xiao Yu was allergic to seafood, and he didn’t dare to let him eat it yet. He would wait for the hospital at the Capital Star to give him an allergen test to know what he can and cannot eat. At present, it was safer to stick to things like bone broth.

Before he started cooking the seafood, he had set a pot of pork rib soup to boil in the kitchen. Two hours later, the pork ribs had been thoroughly cooked, and the surface of the semi-white soup was covered with a layer of oil from the pork. Its fragrant aroma assailed the nostrils.

Ruan Tang fished out the ginger slices from inside the soup. He then took half a piece of winter melon and cut into chunks. He put them in the soup and set it on low heat.

As the soup began to boil again, the surface bubbled unceasingly and the melon was slowly cooked into a transparent light flesh color. Ruan Tang lifted the lid off the pot. The winter melon was fully cooked; it could be bitten through with the slightest bite. It had absorbed the savory soup, so that when he was savoring its taste, it burned his tongue. He was left with no choice but to swallow it down, his entire tummy turned faintly warm.

Add a small amount of salt to it and add a few drops of aromatic vinegar. The winter melon pork rib soup tasted savory and fresh. Just these two seasonings was enough.

After serving the ribs soup and making two side dishes, Ruan Tang rushed to the hospital with two preservation boxes.

“Brother!” Ruan Yu had just finished with his check-up when he heard the sound coming from the door. He looked up and was happily surprised.

“Xiao Yu, did you watch the live broadcast today?” Ruan Tang walked towards the bed and sat down, pinching his brother’s cheeks that finally had some meat on it.

Ruan Yu has been living in the non-gravity ward for the past few days, which reduced the stress of gravity on his body. Add to that Ruan Tang’s carefully cooked nutritious soups and easily digestible savory porridges, his face looked a lot rosier than before. Finally, he had put on a bit of weight; he was no longer just skin and bones.

The shape of his face and his facial features were inherently good, but it couldn’t be seen before. Now, that he had put on some meat, he looked like a little cherub. With how well behaved he was, he quickly became the most popular little patient in the hospital. The aunts and the nurses came to see him and brought him various toys and gifts.

But even with so many friends, Ruan Yu’s favorite was still his brother. The way he saw things, all these good things were brought to him by his brother, who was the very best man in the world!

Hearing his brother’s question, Ruan Yu immediately replied, “I watched it!” His little face was flushed, and he was very happy.

His body was still too weak, so he could only drink soup and congee. However, Ruan Tang, feeling distressed for his brother, bought him a Light Brain specifically so that he could watch the live broadcast and taste a lot of delicious food via the holographic mode.

So whenever he was free, Ruan Yu liked to watch the recordings of his brother. After watching it, he would watch the movies that he his brother starred in. Surrounded by all these images of his brother, he went to sleep happy every night.

Of course, he did not miss today’s live broadcast. Although he also felt that the water monsters were ugly, he bravely tasted a few pieces and even sent a comment via the live chat!

Ruan Tang rubbed his little head and said softly, “Does Xiao Yu like to eat seafood?”

“I do!”

“Then, Xiao Yu should listen to what I say and rest well to recuperate your body. So that in the future, brother can make for you whatever you want.

“Ok!”

“Such a good boy.” Ruan Tang really loved this obedient and well-behaved brother. He couldn’t help but rub his fluffy little head again. He opened the preservation box, and fed him the fragrant winter melon pork rib soup. The ribs and winter melon were stewed so softly that even Ruan Yu could chew it effortlessly. Only the gristle was a bit difficult to chew. Ruan Yu could only fight against it with his cheeks bulging.

After Ruan Yu had finished his lunch, Ruan Tang coaxed him to sleep. He left the room quietly and entered Dr. Tang’s office.

Although he was only a doctor of a regional hospital in a remote place like the 19th planet, Dr. Tang’s medical skills were quite exquisite. He wouldn’t lose to doctors in the capital, but because of the lack of equipment, there were times when it was unavoidable that he couldn’t produce results.

Ruan Tang has ordered a batch of advanced medical equipment on the Star Network. After the manufacturer was ready, it would be shipped to this hospital. In the past ten years, Cai Xin had not paid any attention to Xiao Yu. That Xiao Yu was able to grow up as healthy as he is now was due to the care given to him by the medical staff. Ruan Tang didn’t know how he could ever repay them. The only way he knew how was through these monetary means.

“Dr. Tang, how is my brother’s health now? When can he be transferred?”

Dr. Tang had just been reading Ruan Yu’s medical report, so he turned the screen to Ruan Tang and showed him the chart.

“Xiao Yu is in a growth stage and he’s recovering quickly. After a couple of days at most, he will almost be able to handle the transfer.” Dr. Tang paused, and said, “Mr. Ruan, these next two days, you can already get in touch with the capital to make the arrangements. However, as soon as Ruan Yu leaves the ward, he will inevitably be oppressed by the gravity. His bones are too fragile to withstand this for a long time. Therefore, a pressure chamber with a dormancy function will be needed for his transfer. Our hospital does not have such a high-end equipment, but the Central hospital does. I can help you borrow it, but the rental fee is not cheap. You will need to prepare it beforehand.”

“It’s okay, money is not a problem. Thank you Dr. Tang!” Ruan Tang nodded immediately with a relieved smile on his face. Given his present situation, money was no longer an issue. “Ah yes, Dr. Tang, have you eaten yet?”

Dr. Tang raised an eyebrow and his eyes began to shine. “No, not yet, why …”

Ruan Tang smiled immediately, “I brought an extra box of food. I’ll fetch it for you.” He brought an extra box when he brought Ruan Yu’s food, thinking that there might be some medical staff taking care of Ruan Yu who hadn’t had time to yet. He came back from the ward carrying the preservation box. The winter melon pork rib soup was accompanied by two dishes, one meat dish and one vegetarian dish. This made Dr. Tang’s face even more amiable.

He put down the preservation box and left the hospital to make the necessary arrangements. Aside from the procedures needed for the transfer, matters on the capital star also needed to be handled.

Regarding the case against Cai Xin and the transfer of guardianship, although it could be said that with the He Brothers’ help and the gold-rated attorney Zhou Jing handling case, his success was simply a matter of course, but Ruan Tang was still a bit uneasy. He was worried that if they let this drag on for too long, that woman would do something.

However, aside from the legal aspect of this matter, there was one more thing Ruan Tang was concerned about — Ruan Yu’s reaction. Although Cai Xin had always ignored him and paid him no attention, Ruan Tang was unsure whether Ruan Yu felt any affection for her.

Three days later, Ruan Yu’s physical condition finally reached a state suitable for transfer. With Dr. Tang’s help, the pressure chamber with the dormancy function was also quickly transported to the hospital. Because the distance between 19th planet and the Capital Star was relatively far, the rental price of this pressure tank was also very expensive, requiring a full 100,000 yuan. But this amount of money was not much to the current Ruan Tang. .

He Yun Chen arranged for the use of a military-use spacecraft so that they could return directly to the Capital Star without having to transfer flights. He Yun Yi originally wanted to go with them, but was blocked by He Yun Chen, saying “You have to stay here and monitor the follow-up”. Therefore, He Yun Yi could only stay on the 19th planet and oversee the operations to have the water monsters ready for sale on the Star Network. For several days, whenever he looked at He Yun Chen, his eyes would be full of resentment.

On the side of the Capital Star, He Yun Chen had contacted the Central Hospital for Ruan Yu, which was the best hospital in the capital. After they return to the Capital Star, they can take Ruan Yu directly to the hospital.

After the spacecraft arrived at the Capital Star, Ruan Yu no longer needed the help of the pressure chamber. Ruan Tang opened the pressure chamber and carefully held his brother in his arms. He then went outside with He Yun Chen.

However, somehow all the reporters on the Capital Star found out about their arrival. When He Yun Chen and Ruan Tang stepped out of the star port, they were completely surrounded by reporters. There were so many of them, not even a drop of water could trickle through.

Ruan Tang had the dual status of film emperor and four-star chef. He was an extremely powerful and influential person. Because of Cai Xin’s scandal, he was once again pushed into the limelight and this time, he went to the 19th planet and unearthed all these delicious new ingredients. For these bloodhound reporters, Ruan Tang’s news was equal to exposure and popularity. Now that Ruan Tang was secretly returning to Capital Star in a reserved spacecraft, they wouldn’t ever miss such a good opportunity.

Noticing that Ruan Tang was holding a child in his arms, their interest was once again aroused. They all trained their cameras unto Ruan Tang’s face.

Ruan Yu had never seen so many hungry wolf-like people. He was frightened and his face went pale. He could only squeeze his brother’s sleeve tightly, wishing to run away with him. When Ruan Tang noticed the child’s discomfort, he couldn’t help but feel a little angry. He firmly guarded Ruan Yu in his arms to prevent these reporters from taking pictures of his face. He Yun Chen blocked these reporters in front of him, so that they would not crowd over.

“Mr. Ruan, are you really going to sue your mother?”

“Mr. Ruan, are you coming back this time to testify in court?”

“Mr. Ruan, you stated in the live broadcast before that you were looking for your brother on the 19th planet. Is this child you’re holding in your arms your brother?”

“Mr. Ruan, what is the relationship between you and Marshal He? Why are you always this inseparable?”

All kinds of questions emerged. It was extremely annoying.

“Sorry, no comment.” He Yun Chen’s tall body stood in front of Ruan Tang, which prevented the reporters from chasing after him. He took them out of the crowd and to the parking lot. They got into He Yun Chen’s car and headed towards Central Hospital, leaving all those annoying reporters.

But even if they didn’t get any useful news, these reporters who took photos still made full use of their imagination, quickly drafting a manuscript, and releasing the news online that Ruan Tang and Marshal He had returned with a mysterious child.

This article that could render people speechless was so widely disseminated that it was even pushed by the server onto Ruan Tang’s Weibo page. He looked at the sensational headline and couldn’t help but doubt his world view.

<<Big news! Congratulations might be in order for Ruan Tang and He Yun Chen. They’ve brought back their secret love child to the Capital Star!>>

Ruan Tang: “…”
