Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 221

However, the facts proved that although there were various accidents in life, there were no accidents this time. Just as Li Xiao thought, this [stir-fried sashimi] was completely unqualified.

If the camera hadn't been aimed at Li Xiao, he would have even planned to spit out the fish fillet in his mouth.

Good guy, really straight up good guy.

Not only was the fish fillet not as crisp as sashimi should be, but it also had an earthy smell, and the meat was rotten and woody, obviously overcooked.

And the marinade was not in place, the surface of the fish was too salty, but there was no taste in it. This huge difference appeared in a thin slice of fish.

Li Xiao was really shocked. He didn't know how to marinate to make the taste of a piece of fish so uneven.

Ding Yougang, who was sitting opposite, was not mentally prepared for this. He happily picked up a piece of fish meat, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, but the next moment.

"Bah, bah, what, it's so salty, isn't this salt free?"

Li Xiao was a little fortunate that the camera was not aimed at Ding Yougang. Although the children in the live broadcast room could still hear the sound of pee pee pee, they didn't directly see the picture so that it was harmless.

"What's the sound, is this vomiting?"

"I can't see the way this fish fillet looks."

"Just now I heard 4 meat dishes, 2 vegetarian dishes, one thousand and two, that's it?"

"It seems that the owner of this shop is with me!!!"

"Why, there is also a restaurant upstairs?"

"No, I used to be a robber."

Li Xiao saw a curious discussion in the live broadcast room, and he had no intention of covering up for the restaurant.

After all, if it tastes good, it tastes good, and if it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good. He has always been like this.

He just boasted that [Steamed Chicken with Cordyceps Flower] can get 90 points, and he can give this [Stir-fried Sashimi] a failing grade.

After all, I didn't accept the other party's promotion, so I didn't need to take into account the other party's affection.

Li Xiao nodded and said
"One thing to say, this dish of [stir-fried sashimi] is really a failure. The fish meat is too dry and rotten. The seasoning and coating are not in place at all."

"Originally, when frying sashimi, you need to heat the iron pan until it turns red and smokes, then pour cold oil, and while the iron pan is still smoking, pour the sashimi wrapped in powder paste directly. Go in and stir fry quickly."

"At this time, the iron pan will form the Leidenfrost phenomenon because the temperature is too high, and the fish will not stick to the pan, and because the surface is quickly cooked, the whole will be complete."

Studio

"Can anyone explain what the Leighton Frost phenomenon is?"

"In layman's terms, the Leidenfrost phenomenon is that the liquid forms water vapor at ultra-high temperature, causing a layer of water vapor to form a barrier between the liquid and the iron pan, that is to say, these fish meat fall on the ultra-high temperature iron Behind the pot, it was lifted by the water vapor and did not directly touch the iron pot.”

"Hiss, it sounds very profound."

"To give an example that everyone has seen, put eggs in the iron pan, even if there is not a drop of oil in the pan, the eggs can freely swim on the red iron pan, because there is a thin layer of oil on the surface of the eggs. Water vapor protects it."

"Forget it, my brain is only worthy of sitting and waiting to eat."

Li Xiao didn't care, what was being said in the live broadcast room, but picked two more pieces and threw them into his mouth, not because he thought the more he ate, the better the taste, but because he wanted to try the first piece of fish he tasted. Is it because the seasoning is uneven, so it is so unpalatable.

However, I gave this dish of stir-fried sashimi three times in a row, and all of them got unqualified results.

Li Xiao was so angry that he almost slapped himself twice in the face. He is already in his 20s. How can he be so naive? He always takes chances.

On the other side, the back kitchen of [Little Canal].

Ke Liqun watched the live broadcast on his mobile phone with a sneer on his lips. He took a screenshot of Li Xiao's live broadcast and sent it directly to the chat group belonging to the back kitchen.

Of course, the group he sent to was the large group of all the kitchen staff, not his own small group.

Huang Yulong on the other side was also looking at the phone at this time, after all, it was past the rush hour for dining.

Although there are still a few chefs working on the stove, as the chefs on both sides, they have long been very relieved of their subordinates.

After all, there are only less than 10 dishes on the small menu, and the dishes on the big menu have not been changed for seven or eight years. They are not worried about any mistakes made by these old employees.

Since there will be no mistakes, the work of the two chefs is relatively easy.

Huang Yulong frowned slightly when he saw the reminder uploaded in the chat group.

Although the workload at this time is not much, but he and another guy are the only ones who can play with the phone.

Even if other people play, they will only play secretly, and it is impossible and dare not post any information on the chat group.

After all, if you play secretly, others can still turn a blind eye, but if you send a message to the chat group, don't you tell others that you are lazy?
Huang Yulong frowned slightly, he didn't quite understand what the other party was doing when he sent a message to the group leader during working hours, and it was still posted on the group.

And it wasn't posted in their own small group, which made him even more surprised.

Clicking on the chat box, I found that the other party sent a video, and the background of the video seemed familiar.

Click on it to see that it is the unpalatable paragraph that Li Xiao complained about [stir-fried sashimi] just now, and this video is accompanied by the above barrage, seeing the above barrage mocking [stir-fried sashimi] Suddenly, Huang Yulong stood up from the stool.

He has already recognized that the place where the other party eats is the [Little Canal] where he works, and the dish [stir-fried sashimi] is made by his staff.

At this time, there were whispers from other corners in the back kitchen. It was obvious that the two chefs were not the only ones secretly playing with their mobile phones.

Huang Yulong, who could barely suppress the anger in his heart, was instantly ignited. He yelled at Ke Liqun, who was playing with his mobile phone slowly not far away.
"Ke, what the hell do you mean?"

Ke Liqun raised his eyebrows but didn't intend to answer the other party. He tapped his fingers a few times, and the second video was also sent to the chat group.

Feeling the vibration of the mobile phone, Huang Yulong frowned, he had no idea what kind of medicine this guy was selling in the gourd today.

Normally, the other party would have stood up and scolded him, but now he is so calm, there must be a demon if things go wrong.

He glanced down at his phone and clicked on the second video. After watching the second video, he almost smashed his phone. The second video was Li Xiao's praise of [Cordyceps Flower Steamed Chicken] .

Before Huang Yulong could speak this time, Ke Liqun had already said in a mocking tone

"What do I mean? Didn't the anchor already make it very clear? One dish is rubbish, and the other dish is full of praise. Anyone with a discerning eye will know what the problem is."

"Could it be that now you are not only bad at cooking, but also blind? If you are blind, I advise you to leave your job as soon as possible, and don't embarrass yourself here."

Not to be outdone, Wang Yulong replied

"A little host who doesn't know where he came from, can comment on whether other people's dishes are delicious by just taking two videos? Then what does the Chefs Association do? Just invite these hosts to come and judge for us!"

Ke Liqun chuckled, the mockery in his tone was undisguised

"If you say you're blind, you're really blind. See exactly how many people are watching that screenshot of the video."

A bad premonition came to Huang Yulong's mind, he quickly clicked on the video that had ended, and the online audience in the upper right corner surprised him.

9! ! !

He blinked, thinking he was dazzled.

However, the number didn't change in any way, it clearly said 9.

The corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. He knew exactly what it meant to have more than 9 people online.

He usually sees those super-figured ladies singing and dancing on Kitten Live. In his impression, the most online people were only in the early [-] to [-].

Although he only watched some second-rate anchors, after all, the real big anchors are not willing to sell meat, so there is not much to watch.

But the number of people online is 9, which is already comparable to many first-line anchors.

He couldn't help but thump in his heart, this is troublesome, if it's just an ordinary anchor, or even a second or third-rate anchor who criticizes the bad food when they come here for a live broadcast, the impact may not be too great.

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of viewers, and I don't know how many of them are local. If things become serious, it will be difficult for me to deal with it.

He glared viciously. The chef who had just finished [stir-fried sashimi] rushed out of the back kitchen in a hurry. The other party is still live broadcasting now. Going out and apologizing now can still affect the situation. Press down as low as possible.

After all, as long as I say that the dishes are made by the new temporary chef, the impact can be minimized.

Seeing the back of Huang Yulong leaving in a hurry, Ke Liqun shook his head helplessly. With this level of work, he still asked for more manpower and wages all day long.

If it weren't for [Little Canal]'s boss, Nian, who has been with Huang Yulong for a long time, he would have fired him long ago for fear of death, instead of asking himself to help.

He shook his head. As far as the other party is concerned, the 20-year-old sign of [Little Canal] may not last long.

Li Xiao gave up and continued to take risks and experiments on fish fillets. He returned his gaze to the [Cordyceps Flower Steamed Chicken] and ate a few pieces of meat.

"Hello, I'm very sorry to disturb your meal. I am the chef of [Little Canal], Huang Yulong."

"I just saw the guest's live video. I'm really sorry. I watched it. It was indeed our back kitchen's mistake."

"The chef who was in charge of this dish asked for leave. Today, a new chef is cooking this dish. I happened to walk away, and I didn't try the dish and supervise it in time."

"Due to the inconvenience caused by the back kitchen's mistakes, we [Little Canal] are deeply sorry. Later, I will make a new [stir-fried sashimi] for you. In addition, I will give you Send some freshly made handmade snacks, and hope to get your forgiveness."

Of course it was Huang Yulong who spoke. When he spoke just now, he glanced at the other party's phone. In just a short time, the number of people in the other party's live broadcast room has changed from 9 to 2, almost reaching 9 .

His tone was completely gone from the arrogance he had in the back kitchen, as if he had changed into a different person.

Seeing the middle-aged man in a neat chef uniform suddenly appearing next to him, Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and after hearing what the other party said, he understood why the other party appeared in front of him.

It turned out that I saw my live broadcast. It seems that my current live broadcast has become more and more influential, and I was actually seen by the chef of the other party.

Although the [stir-fried sashimi] just now can barely be regarded as a dark dish, but as a four-star chef, the other party can have such a good attitude of admitting mistakes, and the other party also explained the reason clearly.

Li Xiao didn't pursue too much
"There's no need for dim sum, just make me another one here."

Although it is a gift, it is already a lot for two people to eat six dishes. If you send dim sum, it is a waste if you can’t finish it. It is wrong to waste food.

Li Xiao didn't care about such a small accident, after all, there could be thunder everywhere.

Since the other party has admitted his mistake, there is no need for him to hold on to his braids. After all, everyone makes mistakes. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are a good boy.

However, Huang Yulong's operation made him attract a lot of fans in Li Xiao's live broadcast room.

"This chef is okay, and he will come to apologize."

"Pfft, I suspect that the anchor's notoriety has spread. Others are afraid that he will cause trouble, so they come to apologize obediently."

"Laughing to death, it's not such an exaggeration."

"However, it's a bit dishonest for the temporary worker to take the blame."

"Hey, just get used to it, you know all these things."

"Small problems, it's good to know the mistakes and correct them."

When a group of people had a heated discussion about whether the temporary workers were responsible for the disaster or not, the third course [Brine Platter] and the new [Stir-fried Sashimi] were served.

When Li Xiao saw Huang Yulong who had just appeared to serve the dishes, Li Xiao couldn't sit still.

He quickly stood up, took the dish handed over by the other party, and said politely

"It's so embarrassing to let the chef serve the dishes himself. It's really embarrassing."

Huang Yulong laughed

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't do a good job in quality control. I hope this gentleman doesn't mind. I fried this [stir-fried sashimi] myself. I hope you like it."

After finishing speaking, he left quickly without stopping.

Although Li Xiao felt that the other party was a bit pretentious, after all, he had already achieved this level, and it didn't really matter whether it was real or acting.

After all, he came here to eat, not to hold the other party accountable.

His eyes fell on the new plate of [stir-fried sashimi], and he couldn't help nodding his head again and again, this can be regarded as [stir-fried sashimi].

The fish is shiny and fragrant, and the whole piece of fish is intact.

Li Xiao picked up a piece of fish and presented it to the camera

"Look at this, it looks like fish meat. Those just now, forget it, let everyone taste it first."

The fish was still steaming, but Li Xiao was not afraid of being hot, so he threw it into his mouth directly, and the hot fish entered his mouth with oil.

Li Xiao closed his eyes, let the hot fish swim continuously between his tongue and lips, and swallowed the fish, he nodded with satisfaction

"This time the sashimi has no fishy smell, it has the aroma of peanut oil, it is crispy in the mouth, and the fish fillets are tender and juicy."

"The seasoning is just right, with a touch of spicy pepper and the aroma of cooking wine, which completely cover up the slight fishy smell of sashimi. The sweetness and saltiness are moderate, and there is a faint scent of sesame oil, which is perfect."

"The heat of the fish fillet is just right. It must be undercooked when it comes out of the pan, but the remaining heat on the fish fillet just smothers the fish meat. It is impossible to do it without a few years of skill. It is worth a 4-star rating." chef."

Li Xiao didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was actually very difficult to control the temperature of the fish fillets.

"The fish fillets produced by most people are actually too old, so when you eat them, you will feel that the fish meat is loose or woody."

"This dish can be given 90 points, which is quite good, especially after eating the [stir-fried sashimi] just now, with a comparison, I feel that this is even better."

While speaking, Li Xiao threw another piece of sashimi into his mouth.

"good to eat!"

He gestured his thumbs to the camera, and he also kind of understood what the system said at the beginning of [the discord between the two factions of chefs led to frequent mistakes in the production].

For the same dish, the first one failed, while the latter one scored 90 points directly.

After eating a small half plate of stir-fried sashimi, Li Xiao turned his attention back to the third dish.

[Brine platter], brine goose kidney, brine goose paw, brine goose wing, brine pig ear, and brine money belly.

5 different brines are neatly stacked on a round plate.

And for these 5 different brines, there is a brine egg in the middle. The brine egg is cut open and spread out in the center of the plate like a flower.

The presentation of the plate is very traditional and not too special, but the color of the brine is quite beautiful.

Li Xiao tasted six different kinds of brine, among which the money belly in brine tasted the best, and it was obvious that it was made from fresh money belly.

The taste of the money belly is very soft and glutinous, and the juice inside is very rich and tasty.

The other few brines are quite satisfactory, with no merit or demerit, but the nicely placed brine eggs in the middle are unexpectedly unpalatable.

Not only is the taste of the brine not strong enough, but even the saltiness is not enough, it may be that the time of brine is too short.

But brine, after all, cannot be freshly made. Even if it is prepared on the same day, the taste may be different when eaten at different times, so Li Xiao is not overly critical.

Soon, the fourth course is also served

"Hi guest, your garlic bone, the tin foil is very hot, it's better to use chopsticks to remove it, or I can help you remove it."

The waitress reminded me very kindly.

[Little Canal] The garlic bone here is the most traditional garlic bone. It is not fried, but wrapped in tin foil and baked in the oven or oven. The flavor will be better than fried. , but it is more time-consuming, and the requirements for mastering the heat have also increased a lot.
