[BL] The Film Emperor's Daily Live Cooking Broadcast

44- The Completed Dining Hall

Two days later, the military dining hall was officially completed. He Yun Chen and Ruan Tang agreed to conduct a trial run for the canteen. On the one hand, it was to let Wang Jun and the others adapt to the environment of the kitchen, and on the other hand, it was to check whether their preparations had been sufficient. If there weren't any problems, they were ready to formally open the dining hall to the entire army.

Ever since the soldiers and officers found out that the military was setting up a dining hall, they've all been looking forward to it every single day. So much so that the nutrient solutions in their mouths had become even more tasteless and unsatisfying. After all, it was Ruan Tang who had made the arrangements for this dining hall. Not only was he the youngest four-star chef in the empire, but he was also someone who had once won the highest distinction for an actor. In the eyes of the soldiers, he was like a legendary figure. Whether out of curiosity or for some other reason, most of them had already watched Ruan Tang's broadcasts. They fully understood how delicious Ruan Tang's dishes were and it made them anticipate this dining hall all the more.

For this important day, Ruan Tang got up early and cooked a pot of vegetables and pork ribs congee. After he finished eating, he also prepared portions for the He Brothers and his apprentices. After the express delivery was sent off to the He Brothers, he boarded the suspended car and headed to the military headquarters.

The canteen was located on the third floor of the Military Integrated building. The entire floor was occupied by the dining hall, with a total area of 4,000 square meters. It could accommodate up to 100,000 people at the same time. The entire canteen was simple in design, with white as the main color. It had bright windows and neatly arranged long tables and stools. It was very efficient. More than 100 smart service robots were on standby in the canteen. They were responsible for handing out dishes, receiving and washing plates, cleaning the canteen and other similar tasks, alleviating a large part of the burden from the back kitchen.

The back kitchen of the canteen was bright and spacious. All the kitchen utensils were available and there were no less than ten large kitchen stoves, allowing them to conveniently cook at the same time. There were also large pots and pans especially used to cook for large groups. The plates and trays for the dishes were all custom made according to Ruan Tang's specifications. They were similar to the stainless steel trays used in his university canteen. However, they were sturdier and lighter and also easier to clean. He nodded while observing, and he was quite satisfied with this canteen.

"Good morning." When he arrived at the dining hall, Wang Jun and the others were already expectantly waiting for him.

"Good morning, Teacher Ruan!" The six soldiers saluted him.

"I brought vegetables and pork ribs congee. Eat something first." He smiled and handed out preservation boxes.

"Thank you, Teacher Ruan!" After saying their thanks, they all began to wolf down the congee.

The congee used pork ribs that were cut into small, even pieces. Having been stewed for 30 whole minutes, the meat was falling off the bones tender. Cooked together with the vegetables in the rice cooker, the congee made with the bone broth was both thick and fragrant. It was so delicious, it made people unable to stop eating.

He Yun Chen waited until they were almost done before coming in.

"Chen Ge, good morning!" Ruan Tang gave him a slight smile.

"Good Morning." Seeing Ruan Tang's smile, He Yun Chen couldn't help his lips from curving up as well. "I received the congee, it was delicious."

"I'm glad you liked it."

"How are your preparations?"

The newly appointed "cooking brigade" immediately answered in unison: "We are ready!"
