Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 211
But if He Beibei didn't have a few secret recipes, it would be a little abnormal.

The aroma of the rice is very strong, and the egg liquid on top is fried and burnt.

The strong egg flavor, wrapped in a strong rice flavor, complement each other.

Generally speaking, the best way to taste the sweetness of rice is to eat white rice dry.

Put a single piece of rice in your mouth, and after chewing, it will produce a rich rice aroma and a sweetness brought by starch.

However, in such a rich environment, it can still express the original aroma of rice, which makes people feel quite amazing.

There is not too much seasoning added to the rice, even the simplest salt is not added, so the fried rice that should have a rich taste is very refreshing.

The taste of the whole fried rice is provided by the abalone juice of the abalone. The idea is very bold.

In Li Xiao's opinion, this idea is quite good, and the implementation is quite good.

Use a fork to pick up the abalone. After a long time of stewing, the original hard body of the abalone has become very weak. The metal fork is gently inserted into the body of the abalone.

Put the abalone in your mouth and chew gently, and the rich and mellow aroma of abalone juice bursts in your mouth.

The abalone is very chewy, the more you chew, the more you can feel the mellow aroma contained in the abalone.

However, the dry taste of the smaller abalone is more elastic and crisp, unlike the larger abalone, which is more soft and waxy.

The taste is even better than the abalone in abalone sauce I made last time. I cut the remaining half of the abalone into thin slices and mixed it in the golden rice.

The rich aroma of the abalone melted into the fried rice immediately, and the black truffle was very strong.

The taste of black truffle is very complex. It is a kind of rare wild fungus, which is different from other similar ones.

It is usually used as an aroma and flavor enhancer, not for consumption.

The taste of black truffle is very strong, even if only a little black truffle is added to the same dish, then the whole dish will be full of its taste.

Mushrooms, garlic, wet mud, honey, corn, musk, sandalwood, vanilla, gasoline, whale liquid, even the same piece of black truffle, different people can get different answers if they try it at the same time.

Therefore, the amount of black truffle added is usually very small, no more than 5 grams per dish, and the current fried rice is only 1-2 grams at most, purely to increase the flavor of fried rice, not to use to enhance its taste.

In Li Xiao's opinion, the flavor of this piece of black truffle is quite approachable.

The first half is the breath of the grass, just like a person lying on the grass, just after a heavy rain, the sun suddenly appeared in the sky, yesterday's sun evaporated the water vapor hidden on the grass and brought the natural color of the soil and grass breath.

When the black truffle enters the mouth, there is a strong mushroom aroma, just like entering a room where many shiitake mushrooms are piled up.

The second half should look ordinary, with a light sweetness like a small mouthful of corn.

In fact, Li Xiao does not approve of adding too much black truffle to the food. After all, it is too risky. If the portion is too large and the taste is too strong in the mouth of the diners, it may cause psychological shadows for the diners.

Li Xiao watched an episode of black truffle tasting by the anchor on the kitten live broadcast platform, and the other party was a young lady.

The black truffle that the other party faced in that episode was a long stick-shaped black truffle, and this young lady was also a stubborn one, expressing the black truffle she ate in every detail, The scene fell into embarrassment.

The bullet screen was instantly occupied by the sound of dirty trains. If it hadn’t been for the super tube to find out that there was nothing abnormal in the live broadcast room, I’m afraid this young lady’s account would be the first blogger who was blocked while doing a food live broadcast. .

Presumably, Beibei should have had similar worries, so the amount used is extremely low, just to provide a sense of layering.

In addition, the abalone rice with black truffle was put at the end, and the black truffle was reduced, which affected other foods.

However, the flavor of black truffle is so special that many chefs, including He Beibei, love and hate it.

Using black truffles is like a lottery. If you drive well, the experience will be excellent, and if you drive poorly, it may be unforgettable for life.

Compared with the bowl of abalone rice eaten in [Jinsha Hall], Li Xiao admits that the abalone rice here in [Neighborhood] is indeed quite different from the abalone rice in [Jinsha Hall].

After all, no matter how you say it, Song Rongsheng of Jinsha Hall is a 6-star senior chef, and the gap with He Beibei, a 3-star senior chef, is not double the gap at all, but several realms away.

It is normal to have such a gap of 10 points, but regardless of the comparison with the abalone rice in [Jinsha Hall], the abalone rice itself can be given a score of 100~75 out of 80.

The characteristics are very obvious, the rich rice aroma, relatively light taste, and the pretty good abalone in abalone sauce are all bonus items.

However, as the end of a set of dishes, this [Abalone Rice with Black Truffle] lacks the effect of endless aftertaste.

Although rice can give diners a sense of satisfaction, there is no way to make diners have too many souvenirs.

But soon, Li Xiao shook his head, denying the idea in his heart, isn't a set meal enough to satisfy the diners?

Isn't the original meaning of food to make people feel full?
Thinking about this kind of thing, it is too nihilistic. If you want to use food to make guests reluctant to leave, it is better to put more effort into publicity.

Quickly pull the fried rice and abalone steak in the plate into the mouth, and the finely ground rice fills the stomach, and the huge satisfaction is transmitted from the stomach to the brain.

Li Xiao closed his eyes slightly. Generally speaking, the system's rating of three stars for [Neighborhood] is quite reasonable.

While there's nothing majorly wrong with any dish, minor flaws do appear from time to time.

I don't know if He Beibei can get 4 more stars if He Beibei can earnestly revise and improve after such a review.

It's a pity that the check-in system can only be checked in once for each store. Even if the other party changes the chef or the dishes, or improves the original dishes to a certain extent, the check-in system will not be refreshed, otherwise Li Xiao would be very upset. Willing to pay again.

After re-discussing with He Beibei some of the small problems and details that were summarized earlier, today's dish testing work is finally over.

The tense atmosphere in the back kitchen also began to ease. After all, everyone is not blind, and the change in He Beibei's attitude towards Li Xiao is too obvious.

If there was dissatisfaction on He Beibei's face at the beginning, then it was clear that the dissatisfaction on He Beibei's face had long since disappeared, replaced by expectations and longing.

That was the expectation for Li Xiao's comments, and his desire for improvement plans for the dishes.

After finishing the final summary, this task is over, and Li Xiao doesn't want to delay the other party's work here, so she stands up and prepares to leave.

After all, there is not much time left for [Neighborhood] to open, and there is not much time left for the kitchen to adjust.

Of course, it's not that Li Xiao can't stay here to help He Beibei make the final adjustments to the menu. After all, He Beibei's attitude towards him is quite good now.

He said that if he wanted to stay and help, he might not only not be rejected, but would be warmly welcomed by He Beibei.

However, Li Xiao also has his own considerations. The reason why he came here to try the dishes at the beginning was because he was afraid that [Neighborhood] didn't even have three stars.

That's a big problem. If he doesn't even have three stars, he is willing to stay and help with the overall upgrade, or even abandon the entire menu and redo it.

But now it's different, here He Beibei has been able to easily get three stars by relying on her own strength, so after adjustment, the star rating will definitely be higher than three stars.

And the rating above three stars is already higher than many ordinary high-end restaurants.

You must know that even the [Jinsha Restaurant], which has a six-star chef Cai Rongsheng, has a score of only 4 stars.

A newly opened restaurant, such a young chef, can achieve more than three stars, and even touch the edge of four stars. If the restaurant cannot be done well, it is definitely not the problem of the back kitchen, but the front office service And there was business problem.

Besides, Li Xiao also understands the truth that too much is too late. It is actually a bit inappropriate for him to come here to try dishes. After all, the job the squad leader invited him to come here is just to start a live broadcast and help promote the new store.

If it were another boss, when an anchor who drained traffic for him said he wanted to try dishes, he would probably have been kicked out of the door and replaced. An anchor with so many things must be very troublesome.

Now that he not only came to try the dishes, but also raised all kinds of opinions, it was too much. If he had to stay and improve by himself, then there would be a big problem.

Although judging by He Beibei's current expression, it is estimated that he will be allowed to stay and improve together, but Li Xiao is not a child anymore.

If a head chef can't even master his own back kitchen, then everyone will definitely be in trouble.

So, after some careful consideration, Li Xiao decided to retire.

I have said all the opinions I can put forward without reservation, and the extent to which they can improve depends on their own creation.

After all, they are a team in the end, and how to improve a menu is their responsibility rather than their own.

Li Xiao originally wanted to ask Didi to leave. After all, it was still early, and he took Didi to buy some food in the business district near Longding Haoting, so he could go home at night and broadcast live.

In fact, when Li Xiao went out, he also considered whether to broadcast live. After all, he would test the dishes before opening and make adjustments.

It is estimated that most of the viewers have not watched it. With the novelty-hunting psychology and their huge fan base, the popularity of watching must be quite good. Moreover, watching his growth before a new store has even started, the audience will have a kind of cultivation. I feel that I am closely related to this store.

This is why many younger stars will get more love after their debut.

Watching celebrities make their debut in the talent show, and slowly start to grow with the support of my fans, from unknown to well-known, I will have a special sense of cultivation.

But when he was in the car, Li Xiao denied this idea.

It’s okay if there are no problems with the dishes, but if there are many problems, it may have the opposite effect.

After some trade-offs, I decided to start the live broadcast after the official opening.

Seeing Li Xiao take out his mobile phone, the squad leader hastily opened his mouth

"Leaving in such a hurry, why don't you sit for a while longer? In case He Beibei has any questions to ask you later, but you just walk away, won't you let her catch you blind?"

Li Xiao showed a helpless smile, although the monitor's words sounded right.

He also really put forward a lot of solutions that need to be improved just now. In the eyes of outsiders, the menu changes this time should be huge, and the project will not be short. It is normal for there to be unsolvable problems.

If Li Xiao, the person who made the opinion, was there to give advice, it would definitely be more effective.

However, Li Xiao, as the person involved, knows very well that the subsequent improvements will not have a great influence whether or not he has his own influence, and maybe he will have some counterproductive effects at the scene.

The solutions and opinions he put forward were actually not difficult to solve. Let alone He Beibei, a three-star senior chef, even his two-star chefs should not be difficult to complete.

Li Xiao chuckled, watching He Beibei turn around and go back to the back kitchen, and started to get busy
"The chef in your family is not as bad as you imagined, and the suggestions I made are not as difficult as you imagined, so there is actually no big difference between me and me in the future work, and I count it as merit Get ready to retire, and I’ll come back when you officially open this weekend, that’s all.”

Seeing Li Xiao relaxed, the squad leader also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this is her first time to start a business, so it is very necessary to be cautious.

Although even if it is a loss, it will not have much impact on her family, but everyone thinks that their first time, the first time starting a business, will be more appropriate and perfect.

She changed the subject, pointed to the Cayenne not far from the door, and said to Li Xiao,

"Since you won't stay and sit in town, shall I take you back to the head office? I've been busy for most of the afternoon, and I'm sorry to let you go back by car."

Li Xiao was about to refuse but was pushed towards Cayenne by the squad leader. He smiled helplessly and did not refuse. After all, this place is not far from Longding Mansion, and the round trip only takes more than half an hour. Pushing and resisting, it seems a bit too alienated.

However, the idea of ​​buying a car reappeared in Li Xiao's mind at this moment. In fact, he planned to buy a car early in the morning.

It's just that I didn't expect to stay at the third uncle and second uncle's house for so long, so that I forgot such an important thing.

You must know that after the Chinese New Year, the [Dahan Food Festival] held by Kitten Live will begin, and he will go to various places in Dahan to conduct live broadcasts.

It is indeed inappropriate not to have a means of transportation. Of course, it does not mean that using high-speed rail as a means of transportation is not good.

It's just that Li Xiao has always had an unrealistic and unrealistic dream, that is, the idea of ​​driving a car alone, traveling all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, and eating all the streets and alleys of the motherland.

One is free and easy, you can stop wherever you drive, you don’t have to go to the Black Pearl, Michelin, and you don’t need to care about the stars of the other chef.

You can also eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, as well as pickled vegetables and steamed buns.

I glanced at the Cayenne not far away, and found that such a model is quite good, with a relatively high chassis, and I am not afraid that some areas that do not have expressways and need to take national roads will be unable to walk due to poor road conditions.

But such a luxury car is not suitable for him. Although he can afford the down payment, even if he does a few more live broadcasts in the past few days, it is not impossible to directly buy a low-end car.

But obviously driving such a luxury car is not suitable for live broadcasting everywhere, not to mention the suspicion of showing off wealth, and in some remote areas, it may also arouse bad thoughts from some caring people.

You must know that although Dahan is developing rapidly in China, there are still many areas that are uninhabited, not to mention the Internet, and even the mobile phone signal is still 2G.

In case something really happened in these places, it would be ineffective every day.

However, he remembered that Ding Yougang still knew a lot about cars. In a few days, he could ask him to go and see what car is more suitable for him.

The two came to the side of the Cayenne, Li Xiao was about to open the door of the back seat, but the monitor spoke first
"Sit in the back seat and sit in the co-pilot. I just want to talk to you about something."

After speaking, I took the lead in getting into the driver's seat. The sister Ling whom I met yesterday didn't show up, and I don't know where she went.

Hearing that the squad leader asked him to sit in the co-pilot, he didn't hesitate, so he just did it, can he still suffer as a big man?

The car started silently and drove slowly towards Longding Mansion.

Although the squad leader said he had something to discuss with Li Xiao before getting in the car, but for some reason, the squad leader still didn't say a word after getting in the car for several minutes.

Li Xiao gradually felt that the atmosphere in the car became a little more charming. Could it be that it was really difficult for the other party to say something to him?
Could it be borrowing money?

Impossible, impossible, Li Xiao shook his head hastily, the squad leader would definitely not want to borrow money from him.

You have to know that with the monitor's family background, how could he need to borrow money from himself, a miserable person? ? ?

Since it is not a loan, is it
Impossible, even if it is a third-rate novel, it is impossible for such a plot to appear, right?

A rich daughter falls in love with a poor boy in her high school class, and then meets again after many years and the old love rekindles? ? ?

Such a story seems too bloody, and I am afraid that even a third-rate novel dare not write it.

But as the quiet time in the car got longer and longer, the atmosphere in the car became more and more strange, and Li Xiao could even faintly feel that his heartbeat seemed to speed up a little.

Although the squad leader is not very beautiful, she is definitely better looking than most girls, and she has a beautiful and refined temperament, which will make people feel bright.

Moreover, the squad leader's personality is much better than most unruly and willful girls, and the family environment is even better than 90.00% of the people.

However, I already have a girlfriend, so even if the conditions of the squad leader are good, I can't do anything that violates morality.

If the squad leader really wants to confess later, he can only refuse in the most tactful way possible.

After all, we have been friends for so many years, if the rejection is too blunt, it may hurt the monitor's self-esteem.

What's more, the other party is a girl, so it's outrageous to confess her confession, and the harm she will cause to her by refusing will definitely not be small.
