Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 176 176. Great Harvest

This trivial matter was quickly forgotten by Li Xiao, and he was not unhappy because he lost an audience.

After all, if an audience with such a low quality is mixed in with the normal audience, he will soon lead other audiences as well.

He is not willing to affect the quality of his entire fan base for the sake of such a person.

The harvest on the rocky beach is indeed much better than that on the ordinary beach.

In less than half an hour, Li Xiao picked up half a bucket of shells of various colors.

This is also because Li Xiao discarded a large number of small shells, otherwise the number of shells in the bucket might double.

There were a lot of white shellfish and blood clams. He also picked up six or seven scallops the size of the palm of his hand.

He glanced at the big scallops in the bucket, and felt a little pity that he forgot to bring vermicelli and minced garlic.

However, the taste of simple grilled scallops is still good, but it is not a big problem to bring several bottles of seasoning.

The so-called Wangshan runs dead horses, this rocky beach seems to be small in size, but it takes a lot of time to walk from the edge to the center.

It has been more than half an hour since Li Xiao picked up the asparagus at the beginning, and he has only traveled less than half the distance.

Of course, this is mainly because he spends a lot of time while walking, picking up the seafood hidden in the crevices of the rocks and the little cuties nesting in the sand.

Soon a touch of emerald green caught his attention.

Li Xiao licked his lips, there are really a lot of good things today.

He moved the camera to where he could see, and there was a sharp contrast between the emerald green thing and the black rock.

Studio

"Hey, good guy, there is actually grass growing on this rock."

"There are a lot of books upstairs. How do you see the grass growing on the rocks? This is obviously moss."

"Does the moss grow so long in your house?"

"This should be some kind of seaweed."

"Shouldn't seaweed grow in the sea? Why do they grow on rocks?"

"It actually looks like seaweed, but it doesn't seem to be the same color as seaweed."

"Yes, I also looked like laver at first glance, but isn't laver black?"

Li Xiao saw that the discussion in the live broadcast room was almost done, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"That's right, everyone's vision is good, this is seaweed."

As he spoke, he moved along with a shovel, gently scraping the edge of the stone.

The sharp shovel directly scraped off the emerald green seaweed.

Li Xiao's movements were very measured, and he didn't directly shovel up the seaweeds by their roots.

Because as long as the roots of laver are kept, it will continue to grow.

But once the root is shoveled off, the laver near it will die one after another.

I heard my second aunt joked before that as long as the roots of the laver are shoveled off, the nearby laver will be scared to death. It sounds like a joke.

But Li Xiao tried to do this when he was a child, and the result was that all the laver on the whole rock died as everyone said.

But even today, Li Xiao still hasn't figured out what the reason is.

But with that experience, he never did that kind of thing again.

While gently scraping the seaweed on the rock with a shovel, Li Xiao introduced to the audience in the live broadcast room:

"Many people may wonder why the laver in my hand is different from the laver you usually see."

It takes a lot of effort to scrape the seaweed that grows on the rocks, because there is no special knife, and the roots of the seaweed may be scraped off if you are not careful.

So Li Xiao moved very carefully, and it took about ten seconds to scrape a small clump of head water laver onto his hand.

He stopped his movements and showed the emerald green seaweed in front of the camera.

Emerald green and crystal clear, with water droplets hanging on the thin laver shreds.

"The reason why this seaweed is different from the seaweed you usually see is because this is the legendary head water seaweed."

"The so-called toushui laver is the laver that has grown for the first time and is harvested for the first time. It is called toushui laver."

"If you want to compare other things with laver, it is equivalent to the royal jelly in honey and the bovine colostrum in milk."

"They all have very high nutritional value, and the picking period of Toushui laver is very short."

"Laver can be picked 12 times a year, and one of them is the time to pick Toushui laver, and the time to pick Toushui laver is only 5-7 days. Of course, if the weather is hotter, this time will be shortened to 3-5 days. sky."

Li Xiao picked up some of the seaweed heads and placed them in front of the camera. The high-definition camera showed every detail of the seaweed heads in front of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Taushui laver is usually very short in length, as you can see most of the laver is smaller than my little finger."

"And the width of Toushui laver is very thin, and the widest one is not as wide as disposable chopsticks, because their growth cycle is too short."

Speaking of which, Li Xiao picked up one of the head water laver, shook the water droplets on it, and threw it directly into his mouth.

Fresh head water seaweed, taste very crisp.

A thin piece of seaweed was swallowed by Li Xiao without too much chewing.

"Salty, with a bit of seawater taste, and a bit fishy, ​​the taste is good, but the taste is very ordinary."

"It's also the first time for me to eat this head water seaweed raw. I didn't expect it to taste like this. It's better to use it for barbecue or take it home to make soup for drinking."

He didn't throw the seaweed in his hand directly into the bucket, because there were already too many things in the bucket.

He threw these finely chopped seaweeds in, and it was estimated that they would be mixed with other seafood, and there was no way to separate them.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao emptied the mineral water bottle used to hold sea water, and stuffed all the seaweed in his palm into the mineral water bottle.

I have caught four or five razor kings just now, so this mineral water bottle has also fulfilled its historical mission and can retire honorably.

But as we all know, retirement is just another battlefield.

For example, it can now be turned into a very good container to hold the heads of seaweed in Li Xiao's hands.

After carefully scraping for another 10 minutes, I finally filled the mineral water bottle on my hand.

Li Xiao stopped his movements. Although there were still a lot of seaweed left on the rock, he only planned to make some roasted seaweed at first, and scraping off too much would not be of much use.

Catching the sea is like eating a buffet, although the table is full of beautiful things, and there are all kinds of things you want to eat or want to be eaten by you.

But before picking up food, you need to consider whether you can eat it.

Do things according to your ability. After all, if you can’t finish eating, there is no need to waste it.

The same is true for catching the sea, although there will be many kinds of seafood on the beach, there are many small fish, shrimps, and crabs.

But there's no need to catch those cuties who are too young to grow up, because as seedlings, they don't have much meat at all. If you try to catch him for fun, you will let him lose his life instead.

You can't eat anything, it lost its life, so why bother?
Anyway, every time Li Xiao went to sea, he would only catch the big and meaty seafood, and let him stay there quietly as for the small ones.

After all, the little guy will grow up one day, when he gets married and has children, and when he turns into an adult, it will not be too late for you to catch him.

Exhaust the pond and catch fish, no matter how big or small.

Then one day, when I bring my juniors over to catch the sea, the juniors may say: Why is there nothing on this beach.

I put the mineral water bottle full of water laver in the bucket, searched around, and found a lot of good things.

After a glance, the time in the live broadcast room is now ready for 7:30, and before I know it, I have been on this rocky beach for an hour and a half.

Li Xiao checked the harvest in his bucket.

Two ordinary green sea cucumbers, five abalones, four palm-sized scallops, some cat's eye snails, a few conch shells, a bunch of mixed shellfish, a palm-sized three-spot crab, a few king razor clams, and a mouse spot .

The harvest is quite good, and it can even be said to be a great harvest.

After thinking about it, I started off after eating porridge in the morning.

Li Xiao still stopped and did not continue to search. Although he only searched less than 1/10 of this rocky beach, there may still be many rare elves hidden in the remaining area, such as the legendary gem starfish or Beibei. dragon.

But he already had a lot of things in his hand, and it was a question of whether he could finish them easily, so there was no need for him to waste too much food.

Li Xiao picked up the bucket and walked towards the nearby grove. It wasn't what he wanted to do, and even if he wanted to be alone in the grove, he couldn't do anything.

The reason why he walked towards the grove was mainly because the sun had already risen. Although it was winter now, the sun by the sea was very venomous.

Standing in the hot sun and grilling, it seems so silly.

After placing the tripod and setting up the camera, Li Xiao threw the bucket aside and took out the windproof stove that had been used for 2 minutes just now.

Are you going to speak to the studio

"Okay, our emotional activity today is over, and now it's barbecue time."

"And now I'm asking one last time, is anyone coming over to barbecue with me?"

The barrage popped up a lot of complaints in an instant.

"Brother, this is a working day. What is a working day? On working days, you ask us to have a barbecue."

"The anchor is happily driving to the sea for barbecue, while I have to work hard to catch the subway."

"While eating steamed buns in the cafeteria, I watched the anchor catch the sea. The vegetarian steamed stuffed buns tasted like seafood."

"The anchor said it was too late. If it had been a day earlier, I would have been there."

Seeing that no one in the live broadcast room was interested in coming, Li Xiao sighed helplessly.

"Since there is no one to accompany me to barbecue, then I can only barbecue by myself."

Seeing Li Xiao's arrogant face, there was another burst of complaints in the live broadcast room,
"It's outrageous for me to go, whoever is closer to the anchor, we will crowdfund and fight for it."

"That's right, there are tens of thousands of people here, and each person raises ten yuan."

"The crowdfunding by one person upstairs is almost hundreds of thousands. Are you trying to kill the anchor?"

"It's not impossible, it's too exaggerated, everyone calm down."

Seeing the raging crowd, Li Xiao didn't dare to talk nonsense, and looked around the surrounding environment.

The backside is not too dense, and the woods can just block the strong sunlight overhead.

In fact, this location is not bad, but he glanced at the seafood in the bucket and immediately frowned. Although the seafood was caught fresh, it hadn't been cleaned. Should it be taken back to the seaside to be cleaned again? .

He stood up again and looked around his surroundings.

In the grove behind him, there are many large and small gravels on the ground.

Soon, Li Xiao's eyes lit up. On the other side of the grove, there was a small stream flowing towards the sea. Now there was no need to think about how to clean the seafood. With this small stream, there was no need to run around up.

Quickly lifted the tripod and bucket that had been set up and came to the creek.

The environment here is even better than that just now. The water in the creek is very clear. After all, there are no factories nearby, and he can even see many small fish and shrimps playing in the river.

After dipping his finger in a little stream water, he tasted it and there was no strange taste, and he could even taste some faint sweetness. He nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that this was a serious stream.

After re-installing the stove, he used a shovel to cut off a branch. The leaves on the branch were thick enough to be used as a brush. Li Xiaozai carefully washed the seafood he harvested.

Throw the cleaned seafood back into the bucket, and fill the bucket with clean water.

Li Xiao dug out a small hole about 30 centimeters with a shovel, broke off the dry branches he picked up just now, threw them into the small hole, and sprinkled a little 98-degree alcohol on the dry branches.

After finishing the preparations, he looked at the live broadcast room and spoke

"Okay, the preliminary work is done, we can start the official barbecue now."

He folded the tinfoil in half to give him more thickness.

Pick out some shells with thicker shells, put them on the tin foil, sprinkle salt, sugar, pepper, and a little soy sauce on the surface of the shells, and then wrap the tin foil into a ball with the opening facing up. .

Put the shell wrapped in tin foil into the earth pit, light the dry branches in the earth pit, and the flame will wrap the tin foil in an instant.

However, when Li Xiao was selecting, he deliberately selected some branches with a relatively thick diameter.

In this way, the branches will not burn so fast, and the firepower will not be so strong, and the burning time will be correspondingly longer.

Glancing at the size of the flame, Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and he spoke to the live broadcast room

"Now I will teach you a little skill for grilling shellfish."

Studio

"!!!"

"Hiss, here we come, here we come."

"No, here comes another trick!!"

"So, I still suggest that we crowdfund and hang the anchor up to fight."

"Listen to what he said first, and then consider whether it was hung up."

"Isn't it possible to do things like grilling with your hands? Do you still need a little skill?"

Li Xiao saw the complaints in the live broadcast room, and smiled embarrassingly. These guys misunderstood him too deeply.

"Shellfish are more complicated to grill, and they can't be put directly on the grill because they have a lot of moisture inside their shells."

"Once the shellfish is fully baked, his shell will quickly open and the hot water inside will bounce like 4 weeks. People who grill are easily scalded by these near-boiling juices."

"So when we grill shellfish, we either open the shell first, or wrap the shell in foil like I do and put seasoning on it."

Studio

"This time it's pretty reliable."

"For the time being, let your dog's life go."

"The dog's head saves my life!!"

"Shit, I'm going to be late for work."

"Drinking up to now, I can't see an open barbecue shop at all."

Since the firepower in the pit is not strong, Li Xiao estimates that it will take at least ten minutes to bake over there.

So during this period of time, you can take the time to grill other things.

You need to pick out all the scallops in the bucket.

Since there are shellfish burning in the earth pit, let's grill all the scallops in our hands by the way.

Taking the scallops in his hands, Li Xiao took out the knife in his backpack. As a food anchor, it is normal to carry a knife with him to cut food, right?

The knife goes inside the scallop, first gently separating the skirt of the scallop from the shell.

Then, the tip of the knife goes deep into the inside to test out the position of the shellfish, and inserts the edge of the shell along the shell wall to completely separate the shellfish in the middle from the shell of the scallop.

Without the adhesion of the shellfish, the scallops can be easily opened.

There is no scallop shell on the other side, so don't throw it away easily, put it aside for later use, and continue to carefully separate the shellfish on the hand from the scallop shell with the blade.

He didn't rush to clean this scallop, but cut the other three scallops in the same way.

After finishing all this, Li Xiao returned to the creek with four cut scallops in one hand and a camera in the other.

He introduced to the live broadcast room
"Scallops are not a very rare thing along the coast, so the skirts of scallops are not eaten on our coast."

Before he finished speaking, he tore off the hem of the scallop and threw it into the creek.

Seeing the scene of Li Xiao, the prodigal son, the live broadcast room gasped.

"Listen, listen, is this a human language? What do you mean you don't eat the hem of the scallop?"

"Good guy, I took a look at the spicy skirt in my cabinet. It turns out that this thing should be thrown away."

"Weeping and fainting in the toilet. My favorite food is the hem of the skirt. I didn't expect that no one would eat it at the beach."

"It's too wasteful for the anchor, you can mail it to me if you don't eat it."

Watching the howling ghosts and howling wolves in the live broadcast room, Li Xiao secretly laughed, seeing if you bastards still complain about me, and seeing if I am not greedy for you.

Seeing someone say he wasted food, he explained.

"These skirts will be washed directly back to the sea by the stream, and then the small fish and shrimps in the sea will eat these skirts, so you don't have to worry about wasting them at all."

"In addition, what I said is the truth. When you come here, you will know how cheap the scallops are here."

"If you watched my live broadcast yesterday, you should know that a scallop as big as the palm of your hand costs two yuan a piece. Who wants to eat skirts?"
