Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 183

The transaction was very smooth, with one hand paying and one hand delivering the goods.

It took more than 10 minutes for the uncle in red to walk to the side of Li Xiao's lifeboat, and pour the bergamot shellfish that was just over two catties in his pocket into the bag of the lifeboat.

Li Xiao quickly thanked,
"Thank you for the bergamot, you should also pay attention to safety."

Agreeing, the uncle finally nodded with a smile on his face, but he seemed to have heard the words of paying attention to safety many times.

"Okay, okay, I get it, can I be careless when I pick bergamot shells in the sea every day? If I'm not careful, they will all die. It's okay, go back, I have to work here, wait for the tide to rise There is no way to do anything."

Hearing what the uncle in red said, Li Xiao immediately shut up.

After bidding farewell to uncle, Li Xiao rowed to the fishing boat.

While rowing, Li Xiao explained to the people in the live broadcast room
"Uncle, it's not impolite. It's mainly because time is too tight. Except for the time after low tide, you can't pick this bergamot shellfish at any other time."

"After the high tide, the water level will cover the bergamot, and the waves will be very large during the low tide and high tide, which is not suitable for picking."

"There are only a few hours in a day when they can pick bergamot, so during this time period, they need to work non-stop, and they can't waste any precious time."

"Don't look at the bergamot shells in the pocket of the uncle in red who sold 1000. You must know that the ebb tide today is about 4 o'clock in the morning, and the current time is close to 9 o'clock."

"That is to say, the uncle has been working for 5 hours since the early morning to dig up so many bergamots."

"And he also said just now that today's weather is very good, with less wind and waves, so there is more ground to be dug. It may be very good to have half of this place as usual."

"Don't look at earning hundreds of dollars a day, it looks like a lot, but these hundreds of dollars are worth your life, and you can't do this job until you are in your early 40s."

"Because picking this bergamot is too harmful to the body, don't look at the old man in red just now, probably not even forty."

While speaking, Li Xiao rowed back to the fishing boat.

The third uncle looked at the big bag brought up here with a big belly, and a look of surprise appeared on the back of my hand,

"Why is this guy so lucky to get so many bergamot?"

"The uncle said that today's wind and waves are relatively small, so they made more trouble."

"So that's how it is. It's very dangerous to do this. A few days ago, I heard that people in the next village fell when they were picking bergamot shells, and their lumbar vertebrae fell directly on the rocks. They were paralyzed directly. People serve."

Li Xiao took out the gas tank and stove from the cab, as well as a few bottles of spices.

"This bergamot is really delicious. I can't wait to go ashore to eat it. Let's start working right now."

The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with doubts and complaints

"No, no, the anchor really wants to eat this thing?"

"I didn't expect the host to be such a serious person?"

"What is gentle on the surface is usually quite strong behind the scenes."

"I've tied myself up."

"I've already dug a basement at home, and I'm just waiting for the host to move in."

"Handcuffs, fetters, red candles."

"Hiss, there's a picture."

"Wait, aren't we talking about this ghost's bergamot?"

"My friend said he was also very gentle"

"Although I didn't understand a word, I still want to sign up."

"The production of bergamot is very simple. If you don't have any cooking skills, then we directly add cooking wine and a little salt to the water. After the water is boiled, put the bergamot and roll it for 2 minutes before eating."

While talking, Li Xiao poured about 50ML of cooking wine and a little salt into the clear water, and the water boiled after a while. Li Xiao quickly threw the washed bergamot shells into the water, but he didn't put all of them into the water. Throw it in, and only put about 1/4, which is half a catty.

After all, he had to save some to the shore and cook them in other ways, and he didn't want to eat such a good thing by himself.

Although Sanjiu and his family live by the sea, seafood such as bergamot shellfish is too expensive and rare, so they are definitely not willing to buy it.

Besides, the reason why Li Xiao bought such good-quality bergamot shellfish for 500 catties is because they bought them directly from the pickers without going through a middleman. If he eats them in a market or a restaurant, he estimates that they will cost at least 600-700 yuan. A catty or more.

The 2 minutes passed quickly while Li Xiao was chatting with the audience.

Li Xiao used a sieve to remove the bergamot from the boiling water and put it in a stainless steel dish.

After turning off the stove, Li Xiao set his sights on the steaming bergamot.

He licked his lips again. Compared to the eel he hadn't eaten in a year, he hadn't eaten this thing in years.

He still remembers the last time it was bergamot, when he was in high school and his cousin dug half a catty by himself in the crevice of rocks by the sea.

At first, his cousin said that this thing could be eaten, but he was dubious, thinking that his cousin was trying to play tricks on him.

After all, that was the most naughty age for children. Who knew that after this thing was brought back to the third uncle's house, the third aunt immediately hung up her son and beat him up, and told him not to go to the beach to dig this thing again.

After all, the third uncle's family lives by the sea, so they are quite familiar with things like Bergamot shells.

You must know that every Lianwa will kill many people. Even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured in an accident.

Because even on the coast, the bergamot can grow in places with high winds and rough waves. After all, this thing can't move, and it depends on the waves to wash the food into their mouths.

So even the seaside is very dangerous. She was really worried that her son would risk his life for a little food.

While blowing on the bergamot shells, Li Xiao picked the biggest one with vicious eyes.

Bergamot has no meat at all when it is small, and the bigger it is, the more delicious it is, the bigger it is, the sweeter it is.

"The bergamot contains 6 kinds of amino acids, among which the content of sodium glutamate is 7-[-] times higher than that of ordinary seafood, which is the main source of its rich umami taste."

Li Xiao showed the biggest bergamot on the plate in front of the audience. Although it was the biggest, it was only slightly bigger than his thumb.

There is no way, after all, this thing grows too slowly.

"Eating this food, especially when eating it for the first time, actually really tests the inner endurance, because he looks so ghostly."

"Of course, if you have a boyfriend, you can directly ask him to bite and peel off the skin, because the meat of this thing is quite normal, pink and tender, quite cute, which is in stark contrast to his appearance."

"To eat bergamot, you need to bite her paws open, just like biting melon seeds, and gently knock them on the teeth."

"We can go up and down along the claws on its head to tear off the claws and the scale-like skin, and then we can eat the fresh and sweet flesh of chayote."

Li Xiao's fingers were very nimble, and when he was talking, he peeled the bergamot on his hand and cramped.

A snow-white piece of meat appeared in front of everyone.

Audience in the studio
"I am 1.7, with long legs and a sweet voice. I have already signed up for the host's travel project. Now I need to find a boyfriend who will share the travel expenses. I need someone who can peel bergamot for me. If you are interested, please add me as a friend."

"I, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Don't compete with me."

"I'll peel this, I'm born to peel, don't share, I'll pay for it all."

"I have a friend who is also very good at peeling bergamot, and applied to play in the battle"

"Hiss, are people so heavy-tasting these days?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, talents come forth in large numbers!"

"Long legs? A sweet voice? A male? You have to share the travel expenses and peel the bergamot shells??? I'm sorry I can't stand it"

"At first I thought Bergamot was scary enough, but I didn't expect it to be naive."

"I'm afraid of ghosts, but they didn't hurt me at all; I'm not afraid of people, but people hurt me all over."

"I checked the information. This guy is not a shellfish, but a relative of shrimp and crab. It's outrageous."

Looking at the joyful barrage, Li Xiao smiled and said
"Okay, let me try it for everyone. Is this as delicious as before?"

As he spoke, he threw the white and tender meat into his mouth.

The meat of chayote is very sweet and chewy, and there is a lot of juice inside.

Chewing carefully, you can taste a very strong taste of crab meat, but it is sweeter than crab meat.

The more he chewed this thing, the more fragrant it became, and he could even taste the sweetness in it.

Due to the addition of cooking wine, the fresh and tender flesh can taste the rich aroma of wine inside.

Because the bergamot is very fresh, he didn't even taste the slightest fishy smell in it.

"It's so delicious, 500 yuan a catty, it's definitely worth the money."

"If it wasn't for his horrible appearance, I think this kind of food would have become popular all over the world."

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at Li Xiao non-stop peeling the bergamot with questioning eyes.

"Is it really so delicious?"

"No matter how delicious it is, I can't accept it. It's too scary."

"This bergamot is a good thing. Even people like us who live by the sea can't often see it. After all, they are usually sold to high-end restaurants."

"I have eaten the sashimi of this thing in a restaurant in Sakura Country, but the chef has already cut off the shell, and the name is different, it is called [Devil's Claw], so I didn't recognize it for a while, the umami taste is simply delicious. Indescribable."

"Now this thing is getting less and less."

"Will the anchor be able to eat this food if he signs up to travel?"

The last one was sent out in bold red font, obviously a distinguished high-ranking local tyrant.

Li Xiao hurriedly stopped what he was doing and said in denial.
"I can't guarantee this. We can't dig this thing ourselves. We need professionals to dig it. And it's not often that we meet people who dig bergamot."

"Because they work on a mobile basis, of course we can take you to the market to look for them. If you are lucky, you can still find them, but the price may be more expensive than now."

Hearing Li Xiao's answer, the senior local tyrant frowned, and immediately said

"Then why don't you mail all the bergamot shells in the anchor's hand to me. They look very good. I want to try and see what they taste like. You bought them for 500 a catty, and I will accept them for 1000 per catty. How about 2000 plus postage?"

Good guy, the local tyrant is worthy of being a local tyrant, and he more than doubled between opening and closing his mouth. After all, he has already eaten half a catty.

He glanced at the fan value of the other party. It was more than 20, that is to say, he had tipped more than 2000 yuan, which was not considered a small fan.

He hesitated for a moment and nodded. After all, if you really want to find this thing, you can still find it. But if the wealthy client is offended, it will not be so easy to find it back.

Not only has he been supporting his live broadcast, but now he is willing to pay for it.

It doubled in an hour. If the base of this business is larger, it can easily make people take risks.

After all, if there is 50% profit, capital will take risks; for 100% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws; if there is 300% profit, capital will dare to commit any crime, even risk hanging.

Now it is double the profit, enough for many people to trample on the laws of the world.

Then what else is there to say, why not do it if you can get double the profit without violating the law?
Just add the other party's friends, and when they arrive at the shore, they will be delivered directly by SF Express cold chain. It is estimated that as long as the distance is not too far, they can eat it at night.

Since he lost the ownership of the remaining one and a half catties of bergamot, Li Xiao cherished it very much after eating it, after all, it would be gone after eating it.

However, no matter how much you eat, the quantity is always limited.

No matter how slow the boat is, it will always reach the shore one day.

The place where the fishery was located was none other than Sanjiu's home on Hailing Island.

In fact, if counted by the time of residence, the home on Hailing Island is the real home of the third uncle, and the home on land will only be returned to live during the New Year and holidays. There may be no way to go back during the holidays. After all, life is important, and work seems to be more important.
As soon as the boat landed, the two people who were busy in the yard greeted them immediately.

Among them, a big man with a height of 1 meters was the fastest. When he saw Li Xiao emerging from the bow, he hugged Li Xiao directly in his arms.

Fortunately, he saw clearly that the person who came was his cousin, Liang Nuo, otherwise he would definitely have kicked him out, after all, the hug came too suddenly.

However, Li Xiao was very surprised, why this little guy who was originally lukewarm towards him suddenly became so enthusiastic. You must know that he has been tricked by him quite a few times.

"Long time no see, cousin."

It's true that the two haven't seen each other for a full year, after all, isn't it almost Chinese New Year now?

But Li Xiao was a little strange, why didn't he see this guy being so enthusiastic about him during the Chinese New Year last time?
Before he had time to say hello to his cousin who suddenly became enthusiastic, a shy but very sweet voice came from beside him

"Cousin Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, this time I really trouble you."

Li Xiao quickly waved his hand and said politely
"One family doesn't talk about the two families. It's too alien to say that it's not hard work. Why are you on vacation so early?"

The girl who spoke was the youngest daughter of the third uncle's family, and now she is studying in the capital.

The school he went to was much better than Li Xiao's third-rate school. Although it wasn't Tsinghua University or Peking University, it was still a key university.

The girl has the same name as his younger brother, both are two characters, called Liang Tong.

The skin is dark. After all, when I was a child, I often needed to help my family with work. I was exposed to the sun and rain, and I didn’t take care of it. It is indeed a very normal thing to get tanned.

However, his temperament does not match his appearance. He has always spoken in a soft voice since he was a child, and he seems very quiet and shy. Now it seems that even after going out to school, this personality does not seem to have changed much.

"Our school has relatively few subjects to be tested, so after the test, I went home early to help."

Well, it seems that my cousin didn't fail in school just because she went to study in a big city.

You must know that many rural children are unwilling to go home after going out. Even if they are on vacation, they want to stay in the city to play. You must know that the place where they were raised is really not a star and a half compared with the colorful world outside. , It is completely one day and one place.

The two children in the family help organize the seafood at home, while the third aunt is in charge of the fishing raft farming and management on Hailing Island. After all, the profit from offshore fishing has been too low in recent years. Aquaculture of fishing rafts.

When the goal was reached, Li Xiaoxia had no intention of ending the live broadcast.

He handed the luggage to his cousin, then turned to the cousin and said that the cousin has not been to Hailing Island for a long time, or let the cousin be a guide for the audience in the live broadcast room,

Although they had known for a long time that Li Xiao needed to come here to do live streaming, Li Xiao had never mentioned Liang Tong as a guide before.

He couldn't mention it even if he wanted to, after all, it was only on the spur of the moment.

I thought that my cousin would become much more cheerful after going out to study, and would no longer be as shy and quiet as before.

However, now it seems that he still thinks too much, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. This sentence seems to be very suitable in many places.

While it doesn't seem like much of a problem for girls to be quiet, that usually means being in school.

It's better to be cheerful when you go out into the society. If you are too quiet and timid, you will be easily bullied by others.

So Li Xiao wanted to push his cousin in front of the camera to train eloquence and courage.

The third uncle next to him not only did not refuse, but nodded with a smile.

In his opinion, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to let his shy and overly daughter be a guide.

Hearing that he was going to be a guide in front of the camera, the cousin who had already gone away with Li Xiao's luggage quickly moved to Li Xiao's side and said in a low voice,
"Cousin, cousin, I am more familiar with Hailing Island, how about I guide you?"

Liang Nuo heard from his father during dinner yesterday that his cousin made more than 10 yuan when he came here to broadcast live for one day.

Originally, he scoffed at this number. As a young man, he also watched the live broadcast.

Those who can earn 10,000+ a day are all big anchors. He has followed his cousin's account on Kitten Live a long time ago.

He had seen it two or three months ago. He only had tens of thousands of fans. How could he earn 10,000+ a day?
So he thought that his cousin was bragging and lying to his father and his second uncle.

However, when he heard that his cousin actually displayed the income of his account, and the second uncle confirmed that it was 11, he hesitated a little.

Could it be that his cousin really became a big anchor in just two or three months? Although this possibility is very small, it is not impossible. He quickly opened the kitten live broadcast and found his cousin's account from the watch list.

It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, he was startled when he saw it, hey, good guy, he has become a big anchor with hundreds of thousands of fans after seeing him for two months.

And he glanced at the popularity rankings, his cousin has already ranked in the top 10 in the food area, you must know that there are super anchors with millions of fans before and after his cousin's account, now he really believes it, It seems that my cousin has really soared into the sky.

No wonder I can earn 10,000+ a day, and I am willing to give 30 to my father and second uncle's homestay.

So when he heard that Li Xiao wanted to let his sister broadcast live, he immediately recommended himself.

Don't look at others as tall and big, but in fact there are a lot of ghost ideas.

In his opinion, his cousin can change from a small anchor with tens of thousands of fans to a big anchor with hundreds of thousands of fans in a few months, so is it possible for him to do the same?
In fact, he didn't think too much, his cousin has hundreds of thousands of fans, so he should have fewer fans, just need a few hundred thousand fans.

My cousin earns more than 10 yuan a day, and I can earn 1000 yuan a day if I have a little less. In that month, I also have 3 yuan, which is even higher than the income of the whole family.
