Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 161

Li Xiao and the audience in front of the screen introduced

"When you come to the beach to eat fish, you must choose authentic wild sea fish, not those artificially raised sea fish that are raised around the seaside with fish rafts."

"Although wild and farmed water drink from the same piece of seawater, the nutritional value is too far apart."

"One eats small fish and shrimp, and the other eats feed. It's clear at a glance which one is better."

"Besides, if you really want to eat farmed sea fish, it's better to eat it in inland areas. Why go all the way to the seaside to eat artificially farmed fish."

All the seafood add up to a total of 248 yuan.

It sounds expensive, after all, Li Xiao is only one person, and he bought nearly 250 yuan for the materials alone.

But it can't be calculated like this, after all, the portion he bought alone is enough for two or three people.

Moreover, the most expensive of the 248 yuan is actually the flower snail. After all, the flower snail weighing more than two catties cost nearly 120 yuan, accounting for half of today's total expenditure.

If you don't buy flower snails, buy some cheap shellfish such as sixty-year-old shellfish and yuan scallops. It is estimated that 150 yuan will be enough.

150 yuan for a sumptuous seafood meal, it is estimated that everyone must think it is cheap.

Li Xiao needed to scan the QR code to pay, turned around and left with 4 bags of things.

When leaving, Ah Zhen still held the QR code and wanted Li Xiao to add her as a friend.

After all, she just sneaked a peek at the number of viewers in the live broadcast room, and there were tens of thousands.

How can such a big golden thigh not be hugged tightly?
Knowing that there are tens of thousands of people just watching the live broadcast, she can't even imagine how many fans there are behind this handsome guy who seems a little handsome?
After all, it's noon on a weekday, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be that many people watching.

But after a while, I found that Li Xiao didn't intend to add her on WeChat, and didn't even bother to pay attention to her.

Ah Zhen went back to the store in a daze, even though Li Xiao didn't directly explain.

But the intention of the other party to reject him is already very obvious, although he really wants to earn a little more money.

She is not a shameless person, and she has tried her best to chase her so far.

People really don't have this interest, although she only watches the live broadcast occasionally.

However, she also knew that an anchor of this level would charge a lot for one promotion, and she was satisfied that her store appeared in the other party's live broadcast without spending a penny.

Li Xiao left the vegetable market with big bags and small bags, and Xiao Lan, who had been hiding in Li Xiao's arms all this time, got out from the collar again.

Xiaolan complained

"Damn it, the air inside just now was too turbid, it stinks to death."

Since Xiaolan is a vegetarian budgie, it is particularly sensitive to the fishy smell of seafood.

So, it had been hiding inside Li Xiao's clothes just now.

Seeing Xiaolan suddenly get out of Li Xiao's body, many people in the live broadcast room widened their eyes instantly.

"Hey, hey, why did a blue parrot emerge from the host?"

"This little budgerigar looks so cute."

"The anchor didn't seem to be playing with birds in public before? Where did this bird come from?"

"Look, he looks so funny now, shaking his head as if he was talking to the anchor."

"What's this like? It's clearly talking. You can see that it's gesticulating. Look at his wing."

"Interesting, quite interesting. I only heard that parrots can learn human speech before. But that's something that only larger parrots can do. I didn't expect this most common budgerigar to show such cleverness." Behavioral state."

The person who spoke was an expert in bird behavior research who was fishing. He has studied birds for more than ten years, but he has never seen such a situation.

He could clearly understand Xiaolan's body language alone.

The two are really communicating, and of course he has no way of knowing what they are communicating.

The moment Xiaolan appeared, the diving Yanfan who had been quiet in Li Xiao's live broadcast room immediately became agitated.

Since Li Xiao usually doesn't use beautification in live broadcasts, she only uses the lowest beautification that comes with the live broadcast room.

Over time, it attracted a group of fans with unique tastes.

They were already tired of seeing all kinds of stereotyped and undistinguished internet celebrity faces, but they never forgot Li Xiao's clean looks.

However, these good-looking fans usually only watch quietly, do not participate in activities, do not post on the screen, and are not willing to participate in discussions.

However, the moment Xiaolan appeared.

The army of good-looking fans who were diving into the water immediately turned into Xiaolan's little fans.

No him, so cute.

Li Xiao looked at Xiaolan, who was chattering and bouncing on his shoulder, and scratched his head, thinking he shouldn't have brought him out.

It seems that the next time I broadcast live, I need to put it in a cage.

However, at the moment when this idea appeared, a rocket suddenly lifted off, and there was a striking message behind the rocket
[Is the host selling this little parrot?I really like it.The price is beautiful! 】

Everyone took a deep breath.

There are a wide variety of parrots, and some parrots are indeed very valuable.

But the one on Li Xiao's shoulder in front of him is obviously not, it's obviously just a budgerigar with a little more beautiful hair.

This local tyrant actually tipped a rocket directly in order to ask Li Xiao if he would sell a worthless budgerigar. He is really too rich.

Although Xiao Lan could see the colorful bullet screens on the live broadcast room of her mobile phone, she couldn't understand what the people in the live broadcast room were talking about.

After all, it was Li Xiao who mastered the skills, not him.

Li Xiao put his hands together quickly,

"Thank you, thank you, Luohua Wuqing, for your reward."

Li Xiao thought for a while, and immediately thought of a good idea. He happened to be annoyed by this annoying guy, so he said to Xiaolan with a smile on his face,

"Now there is a rich young lady in the live broadcast room who wants to buy you away. From the extent of her offering, I guess you will be able to eat well and drink spicy food when you get there. The dream you embraced will probably come to an end immediately. It can be achieved."

"Do you want to go there? If you want to go, I can send you there before the Chinese New Year."

"You nod in front of the camera if you want, and shake your head if you don't."

When the people in the live broadcast room heard Li Xiao's question, they burst into laughter.

This is a bit outrageous.

"Can this parrot really understand people?"

"Do you believe it?"

"I believe it! I also believe that Ultraman has been silently protecting the earth."

"Are you guys stupid? It's obvious that the host is tactfully rejecting Miss Tuhao."

"Yes, I can see it too. After all, such an obedient little parrot can be seen to be raised by the anchor for a long time. It is estimated that it will take at least several generations of breeding to produce such a dear parrot."

However, just as everyone laughed, they quickly froze, because they saw it.

The budgerigar, which was chirping, really shook its head in the live broadcast room, and it shook very rhythmically, obviously not shaking its head randomly.

And he kept chirping and chirping, as if he was explaining something to the people in the live broadcast room.

Although in the ears of the audience in the live broadcast room, it was a large piece of bird song with unknown meaning.

But in fact, what Xiaolan wants to express is

Even though life with Li Xiao is normal, Li Xiao can understand what he says, and the two sides can communicate smoothly.

However, when I got to the side of the local wealthy lady whose name I don't know, although the living environment might be better, there was no way for the two sides to communicate at all. Over time, problems would definitely arise.

Li Xiao smiled, grabbed Xiaolan back from the camera, and put it back on her shoulder.

He smiled into the studio and said,

"It seems that Xiaolan is not willing to go with the rich lady, I am really sorry."

While chatting with his water friends, Li Xiao quickly returned to the restaurant that he passed by just now.

At this time, there were already many guests in the restaurant, and many of them, like Li Xiao, came in with bags of seafood, and it seemed that they were basically locals.

Li Xiao also walked into this restaurant called [Hai Ke Wharf] with a few middle-aged uncles kicking on slippers.

[Hai Ke Wharf] has been open for some years, the decoration is a bit old, and several tiles on the ground of the entrance are broken, but this has not affected its popularity.

Not only local residents came here to help, but Li Xiao even saw three or four middle-aged men with big bellies who looked like bosses, chatting and ordering seafood over there, and what Li Xiao vaguely heard were some Quite expensive seafood.

What three-headed abalone, what geoduck sashimi, what Australian lobster?

The ones who opened and closed were all seafood with a unit price of hundreds of dollars. Li Xiao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard it.

Don't talk about the shopkeeper, even I can tell at a glance that these are a few super fat sheep.

However, Li Xiao didn't intend to explain it to the other party, after all, this was also the store's means of survival.

It can be done without the law, and it is forbidden without the law.

The country has not issued any relevant laws to prohibit it, so there is no need for a commoner to stand out.

Seeing Li Xiao come in with a black plastic bag with a ribbon, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager came up to greet him with a small notebook.

"Boss, how many people, do you want wine or tea, how do you process it here?"

"One person, just ask for tea."

Li Xiao resisted the twitching of the corner of his mouth, and answered fluently.

Although, you here rely on drinks to make money, but it's a bit exaggerated to start selling at noon?

Under the guidance of the middle-aged uncle, Li Xiao walked to a small table that can seat 4 people. He put 4 bags of seafood on the ground and said to the middle-aged uncle.

"Golden pomfret is fried, nine-section prawns are broken open on both sides for me, steamed with garlic vermicelli, flower snails are baked in salt, orchid crabs are stir-fried with ginger and scallions, add a little bit of spicy, and then add a little garlic and cabbage. OK."

The middle-aged uncle wrote several pages flamboyantly in his small notebook.

After finishing writing, he took out one from his clothes, and said to Li Xiao the QR code for payment.

"Sweet fried 20 yuan, garlic vermicelli 25 yuan, salt baked 25 yuan, stir-fried ginger and spring onion is also 20 yuan. A garlic choy sum is 35 yuan, a total of 125 yuan, thank you."

Li Xiao simply scanned the QR code to pay, although a dish of Choi Sum 35 with Garlic Sauce was indeed a little expensive.

But considering that the family relies on processing fees and green vegetables to make money, I suddenly feel that this price is barely acceptable.

The manager put away the QR code, turned around and left.

Of course, he turned around and left with Li Xiao's bags of seafood, and didn't check the menu. After all, he has been a manager here for 20 years, and he didn't even need to write to remember these few dishes.

Memorizing the menu is too simple, and it is not difficult for them at all.

Li Xiao set up the tripod and set up the camera before continuing to chat with the audience in the live broadcast room.

However, just poised and ready to chat.

The wealthy young lady who wanted to buy Xiaolan just now tipped a rocket again.

Li Xiao couldn't help but gasped when he saw the special effects of the rocket taking off.

Good guy, really good guy.

In just 10 minutes, the tipping amount has already exceeded 2 yuan, not to mention buying a budgerigar for 2 yuan.

When I went to the flower and bird market, I found a good-looking macaw that had been trained and could speak simply, which was only in the early 2.

Li Xiao could only thank him while categorically refusing again.

"Miss, please don't give any more rewards. Xiaolan really doesn't want to leave, although I think he's annoying."

"However, I can't send him away so cruelly. After all, it's just a little bird. Since I promised him to follow me, I can't just abandon him at will."

"Although I sent him to you, he may indeed live better. But when you two can't communicate normally, I think it will make her feel very uncomfortable. "

However, the psychology of local tyrants is never something ordinary people can figure out clearly.

Just after Li Xiao clearly refused, the rich young lady tipped the third rocket.

The tail of the rocket is followed by a message.

[You don't let him talk to me, how do you know we can't communicate, how do you know he doesn't like me? 】

Li Xiao was a little speechless, this is really a rich and stubborn young lady.

Probably because he is used to lawlessness in reality. After all, he can reward such a large amount of money casually. In reality, he is loved by thousands of people after all.

He had no choice but to perform a dialogue with Xiaolan again, and then Xiaolan shook his head frantically in front of the screen again.

However, such a spiritual move by Xiaolan actually moved the female local tyrant even more.

The fourth rocket rose in the live broadcast room, and everyone was dumbfounded. What's going on?
For a small budgerigar worth only a few tens of dollars at most, four rockets were dispatched.

With the launch of 4 rockets, the number of people in Li Xiao's live broadcast room has also increased from more than 5 to nearly 9.

Li Xiao looked ashamed at the soaring number of people, and now he was a little at a loss as to what to do.

Just when there were nearly 9 people in the live broadcast room, ready to eat this big melon worth tens of thousands.

The fifth rocket rose in the live broadcast room, with everyone dumbfounded.

There is still a message on the back of the rocket
[It’s okay if you don’t want to sell it, aren’t you going to participate in the [Dahan Food Festival]?I am here in Yunnan. When you arrive in Yunnan, please contact me. We will have a face-to-face talk, and I will also meet with you and the little parrot.No matter when you sell or not.I won't pester you any more. 】

Hearing the other party's request, Li Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He made up his mind that when he made Xiao Lan act very naughty and had no interest in her, then she would definitely quit. After all, this kind of rich daughter, probably That is, on a whim.

When I saw what I wanted but couldn't get it, my rebellious psychology came up and I said such a thing. After a few months, whether I can remember myself or not is a problem.

Wanting to understand the joints, Li Xiao quickly nodded and said,
"No problem, no problem, how about this, I will try my best to arrange the itinerary in Yunnan in advance, and meet you as soon as possible. You can add my friend on the backstage, and I will contact you by private message when the time comes."

A huge word [good] floated at the top of the live broadcast room.

Li Xiao was speechless secretly, this local wealthy young lady was no lower in rank than her local wealthy administrator elder brother.

Temporarily appease the female rich lady, but things are still a little difficult.

After all, the other party gave a full reward of 5 yuan, and this matter is not so easy to solve.

But the boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge, and the other party also volunteered to reward her. At worst, I will return the 25 I got to her at that time. Anyway, I am not so short of money now.

After chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room for a while, the food from the restaurant was also served.

Although there are many people here, the speed of serving food is not slow.

After all, seafood recipes come and go, just a few, either steamed, minced with garlic, ginger and garlic, or braised in soy sauce.

The few dishes Li Xiao ordered didn't require any special treatment, and it was normal for the meals to be delivered quickly.

【Nine-section Shrimp with Garlic Vermicelli】

An auntie in a white waiter uniform put down the bamboo cage.

The moment the first dish was placed on the table, the long-lost system prompt appeared.

[Ding dong, check in successfully, the gourmet restaurant you checked in is: [Hai Ke Wharf]]

[26 years of focus on seafood processing]

【Familiarity with various seafood makes the production method perfect】

[The simplest cooking can bring out all the charm of seafood]

[The overly ordinary dining environment and service make the food slightly eclipsed]

[Chef: 1-star Senior Chef: Liang Kaiyu]

"Ding dong, the system rating, [Hai Ke Wharf] is rated as 3 stars."

"Ding Dong, you have received a 3-star gourmet store check-in reward"

[Ability: Swimming Skill Proficiency]

[Ability introduction: You seem to have been born in the sea, your mastery of swimming is more proficient than running. 】

[Money: 1000 yuan]

【Fame: 30】

[Fame introduction: 1 point of fame will allow 10 strangers to know you through different channels]

???

Unexpectedly, the check-in was successful?

Although he got a skill, Li Xiao was not too happy.

My own swimming ability is very good, and I was able to rescue three children in the icy lake. I don't know, what's the use of the system giving me swimming skills?

But soon he adjusted his mentality, it was something the system gave away for nothing, don't want it for nothing.

Successfully checked in from two stores in a row where it was almost impossible to get a check-in.

Li Xiao also seems to have figured out some tricks. It seems that the system doesn't have to be a very good store for the system to check in successfully. It seems that someone who is proficient in a certain type of product can also successfully trigger the check-in mechanism.

Like a shrimp fishing restaurant, purely processed shrimp.

Like [Hai Ke Wharf], which specializes in seafood processing.

After throwing the system's prompts to the back of his mind, his eyes quickly fell on the cage [Steamed Nine-section Shrimp with Minced Garlic Vermicelli] in front of him.

The rich aroma of garlic and nine-section shrimp, along with the billowing heat, entered Li Xiao's nose.

His saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and he quickly wiped it with the corner of his clothes, the fragrance was really too fragrant.

He presented this [Steamed Nine-section Shrimp with Minced Garlic Vermicelli] in front of the audience with both hands.

A thick layer of minced garlic is spread on the nine-section shrimp. The minced garlic is very authentic gold and silver garlic.

Thirty percent golden garlic and seven layers of silver garlic.

The proportion is also quite well controlled. Before the money is baked, the chef also sprinkled a thin layer of chopped green onion on top of the minced garlic. The gold and green complement each other, and the color matching is very beautiful.

The shell of the nine-section shrimp below is bright red, but the meat of the shrimp is pink.

Longkou vermicelli is placed under the nine-section shrimp. Although it is inconspicuous, anyone who knows how to eat knows that those inconspicuous vermicelli are the essence of this dish [Nine-section Shrimp with Garlic Vermicelli].

Li Xiao introduced to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The ratio of gold, silver and garlic here is very reasonable."

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, someone in the live broadcast immediately asked
"Anchor, what is gold and silver garlic? Is it a kind of garlic?"

Li Xiao's gaze just happened to come across this barrage, mainly because several people asked the same question.

So he opened his mouth and explained.

"Golden and silver garlic is actually a mixture of two types of garlic. Put minced garlic in peanut oil and fry it slowly over medium-low heat until golden. Then drain the oil on top. This is golden garlic."

"Mix the golden garlic into the minced raw garlic (that is, silver garlic)."

"Add salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, oyster sauce, steamed fish, soy sauce, white sugar chicken sauce and stir well."

"Then you can get the all-purpose sauce necessary for cooking seafood."

"The method is simple, and everyone can try it at home."

After introducing Li Xiao, he put down the steaming bamboo cage and picked up the chopsticks.

"How about I help you taste this first?"

A nine-section shrimp that was covered with gold, silver and garlic and had been torn apart was put into Li Xiao's mouth.

Li Xiao didn't peel the shell either, although his tongue couldn't tie the rope.

But peeling shrimp shells with his tongue, such a simple thing, is simply too simple for him, who would come to his second uncle's house every holiday to play.

The tongue flexibly peeled off the shrimp shell, and the nine-section shrimp covered with garlic paste entered the mouth, and a strong garlic smell burst out from the tongue first.

After all, garlic has always had a strong taste, no matter what it is paired with, it will dominate.

The teeth chewed quickly, and the garlic smell quickly disappeared. The nine-section shrimp that was still alive and kicking just now was really fresh. The sweetness of the nine-section shrimp, the strong shrimp flavor, and the faint salty taste of sea water exploded in the mouth instantly.

Li Xiao showed a satisfied expression on his face, although he also ate garlic shrimp in [Shrimp Baba] last time.

But the taste of the Roche shrimp and the taste of the nine-section shrimp are completely different.

What's more, Roche prawns are all farmed, and they grow rapidly on the hormones and feed. Not only is the gravy not firm enough, but the shrimp taste is far from being comparable to wild nine-sectioned prawns.

The chef here has also mastered the gold and silver garlic to the point of perfection, completely crushing that side.
