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

47-Transition

He Yun Chen liked spicy foods, so the spicy side of the hot pot was facing him. He Yun Yi didn't like eating spicy foods so the white soup was placed in front of him. Ruan Tang could accept both, so he sat in the middle.

"Hurry up and eat. If the meat is overcooked, it won't taste good." He invited them to start eating.

"You should also eat." While He Yun Chen ate, he also paid attention to which foods Ruan Tang liked. Seeing that Ruan Tang was fond of the lamb roll slices, shrimps and fish, He Yun Chen would give those to him. Ruan Tang also returned the favor by giving He Yun Chen the foods that he liked.

He Yun Yi: "..."

He Yun Yi felt like a third wheel...Looks like his younger brother's a lost cause...

Regardless, the three people enjoyed the delicious hot pot and ate until their bellies were round. Even then, they were reluctant to stop.

When the He Brothers left, Ruan Tang simply washed his face and rinsed his mouth before lying down to sleep.

As expected, for a time, there was a great deal of enthusiasm for hot pot in the empire.

Ruan Tang remembered his promise to the audience. He got up early the next morning, and made a batch of shrimp balls and meat rolls. He gave them out together as the prizes for that morning's lottery, which made the viewers very happy.

The star network's shopping site also quickly followed. After asking Ruan Tang about the production method for the hot pot's base ingredients and some inconvenient to process ingredients, they hurriedly made these items available for sale. They even came out with a concentrated soup base puree. In this way, even someone completely inept in the kitchen would just need to boil a pot of water with the concentrated soup base puree and other ingredients and they could readily enjoy a delicious hot pot meal.

All the ingredients were available at the shopping site. Most of the ingredients were ready-made and as for the other ingredients, you only needed to slice them. Even the pot for the hot pot was readily available. You only needed to boil the ingredients in the soup and you could already eat it. It was fast and convenient.

In the current situation where good food was underdeveloped, scarce and often costly, the demand for this type of convenient cooking that even klutzes could grasp quickly swept the entire empire.

He Yun Yi also had news for Ruan Tang. Several companies had seen the commercial opportunity for hot pots. They reached out to the Academy to purchase the right to use the hot pot to open up restaurants in other star systems, making it even more convenient for the citizens for the empire to enjoy good food.

The empire attached great importance to copyright issues. Like the hot pot, this unprecedented novelty, although Ruan did not register for nor file a patent, since he was the first person to make hot pot, he was considered as its property owner. It would be no problem if you only wanted to cook hotpot at home for yourself, but once you plan on using it for profit, then you would need to pay Ruan Tang a fee for the rights to use it.

After several thousand years of development, the Blue Star Empire had become bigger and bigger. There were more than 50 planets within the Empire's territory, and the population had reached an astonishing 100 billion people. One could consider this as a huge business opportunity. Hot pot, this delicacy which didn't require culinary talent, didn't require any aptitude and didn't even require that much manpower — It was like the goose that laid golden eggs. How could this not get those enterprising capitalists' blood pumping?

Naturally, Ruan Tang readily agreed. His efforts alone, wouldn't be able to satisfy the entire empire's desire for good food. With more hot pot restaurants, all the more people could sample the deliciousness of natural foods. This was a good thing.
