Chapter 78: Preparing for the Birthday Party
Ruan Tang came to the canteen of the military headquarters. It was not meal time, so the canteen was empty, only a few intelligent robots were doing daily cleaning. Ruan Tang walked towards the back kitchen familiarly. There is also a smart terminal at the door of the back kitchen to check the identity. After all, it is related to the food safety of the soldiers of the entire military department. People without authorization are absolutely unable to enter.
Ruan Tang pressed his palm on the smart terminal at the door, and after passing the biometric information inspection, the sensor door opened in response.
"Master!" The few people who were busy in the kitchen immediately looked towards the door after hearing the sound of the induction door opening, and after finding that the person who came was Ruan Tang, they all showed pleasant expressions.
Although Ruan Tang did not often come to the canteen of the military department to teach, he still kept in touch with his six apprentices from time to time, answering their doubts in the process of cooking, and the six of them would also watch his live broadcast, and Learn from his videos. The six of them now fully regard Ruan Tang as their master, and they no longer call Mr. Ruan as before, but directly call them master.
"Well, what are you doing?" Ruan Tang asked with a smile.
"We are discussing today's lunch menu." Wen Zeyang replied immediately.
"Oh? What are you going to do?"
Wen Zeyang nodded, and reported everything, "Sauce ribs, tomato scrambled eggs, hot and sour potato shreds, fungus scrambled eggs, cucumber fried pork slices, green pepper fried pork shreds, potato stewed beef brisket, chicken stew Mushroom, tomato tofu soup, winter melon pork ribs soup, a total of eight dishes and two soups."
"Nice." Ruan Tang nodded slightly, and was very pleased to see that they had learned new dishes.
He chatted with them a few more words, and let them go to their own business.
Several apprentices started to get busy preparing ingredients, while Ruan Tang sat aside and began to think about what gifts to prepare for He Yunchen. Birthday cake is a must, and longevity noodles are also indispensable. Longevity peaches and eggs are also ingredients that represent blessings.
Thinking of this, Ruan Tang couldn't help but smile bitterly. He really couldn't change his habit. When it comes to birthdays, the first thing he thinks of is food. After all, the only thing he can sell is his cooking skills.
Rather than racking his brains to prepare some birthday presents, it's better to carefully prepare a birthday banquet for He Yunchen to have a good time.
Just at this time, Ruan Tang's optical brain rang, and he glanced at the screen, the name of the caller displayed on it was He Yunyi.
"Brother He?" Ruan Tang immediately got through the communication.
"Xiaotang, are you free today?" He Yunyi rang out with a teasing voice.
"I'm free, Brother He, is there anything I can help you with?"
"The Academy of Sciences just restored two new ingredients, which look a bit weird. I would like to invite you to take a look. In addition, there is a big surprise you here."
"Surprise?" Ruan Tang was a little curious, and readily agreed, "Okay, I'll take a car right away."
He paused, and then asked: "By the way, Brother He, I heard that tomorrow is Brother Chen birthday. Do you...do you have any plans?"
After all, He Yunchen has family members, and if their family members already have plans to celebrate his birthday, then he needs to think of other ways.
"Yes, tomorrow is his birthday, but what arrangements should we make?" He Yunyi asked with some doubts.
It sounds like they don't celebrate He Yunchen's birthday at all, Ruan Tang couldn't help but hesitate, "You guys...don't prepare a birthday party or something to celebrate?"
"Birthday party? Celebrate?"
It's not that He Yunyi deliberately ignored his younger brother, but that people in the Blue Star Empire don't have the concept of birthdays. After all, they have been taking nutrient solution for a long time before, but there is no group of people around a box of nutrient solution custom to celebrate birthdays. In the past, when their brothers had their birthdays, they basically took a day off to do something they liked, or go to StarNet to play mecha battles, and then relatives and friends gave gifts.
"Why don't I prepare a birthday party?"
"Okay, no problem." As long as there is something delicious, He Yunyi will not object, "Where are you going to do it?"
"This..." Ruan Tang also hesitated, he hasn't bought a house yet, and his family is really It's too small, it's okay to entertain three or four people, no more is definitely not enough.
"Why don't you just stay at our house. Aren't you going to see the house at night? You can just come to our house and sleep here at night."
"Will it be a little disturbing?" Ruan Tang hesitated. There are fathers and mothers, and one of them is the big boss of the live broadcast platform. He always feels that his past will affect their work.
He Yunyi smiled and said: "It's okay, they also like you very much."
"Okay then..." Ruan Tang nodded, "I don't know who to invite, Brother He, please come and draw up a list, I'll see if how many people are there, if it's okay?"
"Of course!" He Yunyi readily agreed, "Then you come here now, you should also need things from my side."
"Okay! Thank you Brother He!"
Ruan Tang gave to He Yunchen a sent message, telling him that he was going to the Academy of Sciences, and He Yunyi's place was over for the evening, so he could go to the Academy of Sciences to find himself.
He Yunchen naturally agreed.
Ruan Tang immediately called a hovering car and came to the Academy of Sciences.
He Yunyi personally picked him up at the door and brought him to the research institute. The two new ingredients they have just restored are really hard to describe in terms of their appearance.
"Look at this, when we just restored the embryos, they were still small black spots, and we didn't know what they were. After a few days, a tail came out, and legs grew. Green, the size is getting bigger and bigger, the longer it is, the uglier it is, these things are not poisonous, but... we think they should not be eaten?" He Yunyi led him to the No. 1 laboratory, pointing to the things in the cultivation cabin and said, "You see?"
Ruan Tang stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help but chuckled. He thought it was something, wasn't it a bullfrog? The dry pot bullfrog is very delicious. Although many people said that they did not accept this ingredient, he was quite satisfied with this new ingredient.
"Brother He, don't worry, this is indeed an ingredient and can be eaten."
"Is it delicious?" He Yunyi immediately connected, afraid that what he said was a word game. Ruan Tang chuckled, "It's delicious."
"That's good, that's good." He Yunyi nodded repeatedly, since Ruan Tang said it was delicious, it must be delicious.
He Yunyi brought Ruan Tang to the second laboratory, and the things in the training cabin looked familiar.
"And this, I don't know what's going on with this thing, but it looks very similar to the water monster lobster on Planet 19, but it's much smaller. This should be edible, right?"
"Crayfish!" Ruan Tang's eyes suddenly brightened. This is an authentic earth food, and it's not an alien mutant! With the addition of this ingredient, He Yunchen's birthday banquet can have another delicious dish.
Seeing these two ingredients, Ruan Tang unconsciously began to plan the menu for the birthday party in his mind. Since it's a birthday party, although the Blue Star people don't have the habit of celebrating birthdays, they certainly won't have only four or five people in their own family, so the portion of the dishes must be small, or it would be bad if everyone can't eat enough.
He Yunchen likes to eat spicy food, so he planned to have Sichuan dishes as the main dishes for the birthday banquet, including spicy chicken, fish head with chopped pepper, mapo tofu, spicy crab, boiled fish, dried pot bullfrog, spicy crayfish, soy pot mandarin fish, twice-cooked pork , foie gras steamed egg and garlic scallops, etc. For soup, he is going to stew tomato, potato and beef brisket soup, and the staple food is dan dan noodles, birthday peaches and birthday cakes.
"Okay, the problem is solved, let's go and see the surprise for you." He Yunyi laughed, "We have developed three versions of the happy fat house water you mentioned, but we don't know which one is the best. Why don't you taste the taste you mentioned." He Yunyi didn't notice Ruan Tang's distraction, and just led him to the next laboratory.
"Okay!" Ruan Tang immediately came to his senses when he heard the words. He didn't know whether what they researched was beer or cola. If the research was successful, then He Yunchen's birthday party would have drinks to drink. It happened that the banquet was full of spicy dishes, and it would be refreshing if paired with bubbly ice cola or cold beer.
When he arrived at the laboratory, He Yunyi asked someone to bring three cups of black drinks that were still bubbling and bubbling, and asked Ruan Tang to try them one by one.
Ruan Tang took a sip and his eyes lit up. It really deserves to be a science academy where talented scientists gather. In just a few days, the taste of this drink has been mixed to perfection. There are three flavors of Coke, one of which tastes a little bit like Diet Coke. The other is a bit sweeter, and the other tastes like traditional Chinese medicine.
"These two cups are not bad, but it would be better if the second cup was lightened." Ruan Tang pointed to the first and second cups he had just tasted.
"Okay, I see."
"By the way, Brother He, how is the cooking wine I want, how is your research going?" Ruan Tang has wanted cooking wine for a long time, and it is really inconvenient to cook without cooking wine.
"Ah... Don't tell me, I almost forgot. I heard the report yesterday that there was a sample, but the taste is a bit weird. Come with me."
He Yunyi took Ruan Tang to another laboratory and tasted it. Cooking wine sample just developed.
"Well... that's it!" Ruan Tang took a sip and then laughed with satisfaction.
Cooking wine has the function of removing fishy smell and increasing fragrance. It can be said that it is a must for cooking meat. With cooking wine, the taste of birthday party dishes must be improved to a higher level.
This trip to the Academy of Sciences was fruitful, and Ruan Tang was very satisfied.
He stood at the gate of the Academy of Sciences, waiting for He Yunchen to come over. He Yunyi looked at him, and couldn't help but said: "You two have a good relationship." He sighed a few times pretending, and seeing Ruan Tang looking at him, he said again: "My birthday is three months later than Ah Chen's. When it's my birthday, can you also cook me a birthday party?"
"Okay, no problem." Naturally, Ruan Tang would not reject this light of science.
He Yunyi nodded in satisfaction, and then said that he would prepare these ingredients and send them home during the day tomorrow. As for how to hide it from He Yunchen, he is not worried, "This guy has no fun at all, he never takes such trivial things as birthdays to heart, and he will definitely go to the military headquarters tomorrow as usual, don't worry."
Ruan Tang nodded, thinking again Woke up, so he said: "By the way, Brother He, I remember that when you came back from Planet Nineteen, you brought some water monsters for research. I wonder if you can share some with me?"
"No problem." He Yunyi did He gestured, and then saw a hovering car approaching from the front, so he said, "Your Brother Chen is here, go."
He watched Ruan Tang happily shouted, and then ran towards He Yunchen.
He Yunchen there was also a rare smile on that serious face. After the two of them got into the car one after the other while talking, they couldn't help but shook their heads with a light smile.
He was worried that his younger brother was too dull to even chase people, but now it seems that the iron tree is not far away from blooming.
