Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 234 234. The Three Treasures of Dongguan——【Chen Pi】

After the live broadcast was turned off, Li Xiao left the lobster restaurant under the farewell of the fat boss and the lady called.

When leaving, Li Xiao also heard someone calling his name in the queue.

He was a little surprised, a little surprised, but still a little helpless. Someone actually rushed over from home immediately after seeing his live broadcast. This is too enthusiastic and too trusting of himself, right?

He hurriedly chatted with his loyal fans for a while before leaving [Shiyue Siege] and got into his black Mercedes.

The surrogate driver looked at Li Xiao walking and turned around to interact with the fans in the team. He couldn't help but look at his guests today with some curiosity.

He secretly thought in his heart that this guy is actually a big star. He looked Li Xiao up and down, and it was indeed normal for such a handsome guy to be a star.

If he was so handsome, what would he do as a replacement driver and make his debut directly on the spot.

In fact, Li Xiao didn't drink any wine, but when he ate the crayfish, he could smell a strong smell of wine inside the crayfish. It's true that the smell of wine was not the aroma of wine.

Obviously, during the cooking of the crayfish, they did not completely evaporate the alcohol content of the crayfish, otherwise this would not have happened.

According to the normal cooking sequence, normally there is no alcohol in the dishes.

Therefore, after discovering the problem, he not only called the substitute driver, but also reminded the audience in the live broadcast room.

After all, in the subconscious of many people, eating crayfish is very safe, and the problem of drunk driving will definitely not occur.

As for why such a problem occurred, in Li Xiao's mind, there could only be one reason.

That is, before the dishes are served in the pot, the chef sprinkles a circle of Huadiao wine or brandy on the edge of the pot in order to increase the aroma of the crayfish.

However, when the Huadiao and brandy were sprinkled, the technique was too heavy, and too much wine was accidentally sprinkled.

This happens because the high temperature can't break down all the wine in an instant.

Sure enough, the car was stopped halfway. Although there was a substitute driver in the car, the traffic controller from the security department politely asked the substitute driver to test the alcohol content.

There was no bloody scene of driving and drinking, and the tester did not make any sound.

However, Li Xiao didn't leave directly, but asked himself to test it too. Hearing his request, the traffic controller directly refused at first.

After all, Li Xiao's request is very strange and does not conform to their work procedures, but when he saw the background interface of the kitten live broadcast that Li Xiao showed, he understood that Li Xiao is a well-known food anchor, and wanted to find out After eating alcoholic food, whether there will be drunk driving, and I plan to remind the audience in the live broadcast room.

The administrator thought about it, and immediately reported the situation to his captain, who immediately agreed without hesitation.

After all, he is very aware of the propaganda power of these big anchors. No matter how many calls he, the traffic controllers, might as well have their idols stand up and say a few words.

After all, it is good for drivers to clearly realize the importance of hiring a substitute driver after drinking, so that these drunk people can either take the car back or call a substitute driver, as long as their own practices can reduce even one traffic accident. is very good.

After getting the consent, Li Xiao turned on the video equipment, and then put his head on the breathalyzer for a test. As expected, after he blew, the alcohol tester turned on a red light.

look at the numbers
【Each 100ml of blood, alcohol content 25mg】

Just over the standard of 100 milligrams of alcohol per 20 milliliters of blood.

If Li Xiao didn't ask for a substitute driver, it would be a proper drunk driving. He secretly rejoiced that he almost lost his driver's license because of a supper. Fortunately, he has the skills presented by the system to clearly feel it. The smell of wine in the dishes, otherwise it will be troublesome this time.

Of course, the driver can apply for a re-examination and request to go to a nearby tertiary hospital for a blood test if the amount exceeds a few milligrams.

As long as you drink plenty of water during this period, the distance to the hospital is long enough, and the body metabolizes alcohol fast enough, then normally, the results of the blood test will show that the alcohol content per 100ml of blood in the blood is low In the case of 20 mg.

[There are thousands of roads, safety is the first, don't defy the law by yourself! ! !However, if there is an unexpected situation, such as drinking alcohol the night before, and driving under the influence of alcohol this morning, you can try this method. 】

Thanks to the help of the traffic controllers of the Security Department, the black Mercedes was back on the road.

Li Xiao hastily edited the video just now and added it with thrilling music to remind his fans not to try their best.

At the same time, he also took out the business card that the fat boss had stuffed into his hand just now, called the other party, told the other party what happened just now, and asked him to pay more attention.

After all, if a guest comes to your place for a meal, and if they drink and drive, then there is a big problem. After all, not everyone can have such a keen taste bud.

Hearing Li Xiao's reminder, the fat boss also broke out in a cold sweat, crazily cursing his own kitchen in his heart, and almost got himself into big trouble.

After all, Li Xiao's live broadcast just now has a video of the whole process. If he is found drunk driving when he is not drinking, the responsibility must be his own lobster restaurant. The store does not need to continue to open.

After returning home safely, Li Xiao lay down on the bed and fell asleep after washing.

On the second day, Li Xiao also woke up very early, although she didn't go to bed until after 2 o'clock the day before, and she worked for a full 3 hours.

But with the help of the 4-point recovery attribute given by the system, he only needs a few hours of sleep to recover to full blood.

Put on the running equipment, bring the chirping little blue, and start the daily sports training again.

After checking in, he gained a few more attribute values, and Li Xiao could clearly feel that his body had undergone very obvious changes.

Soon the sports watch in his hand beeped, and his 10km practice today was completed.

He raised his eyebrows. Today's speed is obviously faster than before. He glanced at the time of 28 minutes and 50 seconds.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. In just one day, his own record was broken by him, and he was still faster by a full minute. This progress was really too terrifying.

Although he doesn't know much about sports, he still knows that most athletes improve very slowly in training.

Sometimes I train hard for several months, control my diet, and do more than ten hours of special training every day, and the final result is only a few seconds of progress. Some athletes who are close to their peak state, after several months of hard work, even only There can be a few tenths of a second of progress.

It seems that I should pay attention to running in front of everyone in the future, and control the speed, otherwise the news that I can improve by 1 minute a day will be known, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive.

Even if he won't be dragged to slice for research, it is estimated that the Sports Bureau of Dahan Kingdom will set up a tent in front of his house, so that he can become a full-time athlete and play for the country.

Of course, it is good to be efficient for the country, but it is absolutely impossible for him to become a full-time athlete.

After all, his hobbies are not here, but some things are beyond his control, once he really becomes famous in this area.

Just by refusing the invitation of the national team, I am afraid that I will be submerged in the vast ocean of the people.

Thinking about the scene where he would be like a rat crossing the street, Li Xiao shivered. It seemed that he really needed to pay more attention in the future.

Feeling that his body was only slightly hot after running 10 kilometers, and his body was not sweating obviously, Li Xiao didn't stop, turned around and ran towards the nearest vegetable market.

He doesn't plan to go out to broadcast live today, he plans to cook some side dishes at home to reward himself.

Of course, another reason is that I was too popular yesterday, and staying at home today just makes my limelight a little less.

If he went out today, he was afraid that he would be recognized directly.

When he woke up this morning, he found that his Weixin, which was not moving at first, suddenly had a lot of red spots.

Moreover, most of these red dots were classmates and friends whom he hadn't contacted for a long time. He was a little surprised, not sure why these people suddenly thought of himself, so he clicked on some of the red dots.

After glancing at the content, he immediately understood what was going on.

It turned out that I became famous in the live broadcast yesterday, and not only ranked first in the popularity list in the food area of ​​the kitten live broadcast.

After eating, many people posted Jiugongge in the circle of friends and brought texts. These people who came to the store were basically people living in the Dongguan area. Some classmates and friends who knew Li Xiao appeared in the picture Li Xiao in the picture was recognized.

Not to mention them, even Li Xiao found himself in his circle of friends, and not just one or two, but many, this is one of the reasons why he decided not to go out to broadcast live today.

Looking at the noisy Xicun Market, Li Xiao felt a little emotional, remembering that it had been many years since he came here last time.

If I remember correctly, it should be when my mother brought me here to visit a relative when I was in junior high school, and stopped by to buy some new year's goods.

There is a big difference between the Xicun market in front of me and the Xicun market in my memory, giving people a feeling that things are different.

You know, although the current market looks good in terms of traffic, it is indeed not as good as before.

Moreover, due to the lack of daily maintenance, the original cement pavement here has become potholed, and many places have been completely broken, exposing the foundation on the cement pavement, and only some gravel and silt are used to fill it.

Many corner shops have even been closed. You must know that today is the most popular weekend, and the shops are closed today. Obviously, the shops have closed down. Otherwise, as a business, you will never miss the opening hours of the weekend.

And most of the people who come here are elderly uncles and aunts, and most of them are people of their parents' age.

Most of the young customers are also pushing small carts or accompanied by a tricycle, obviously some merchants come here to buy goods.

This is a market that combines wholesale and retail, of course more wholesale, but the boss here will not mind whether you are wholesale or retail, as long as conditions permit, he can even disassemble it from a large shipment. I'll sell you a packet.

Of course, the price must be the retail price. The boss here is very clear that the reason why the school leavers come here is to buy some Dongguan specialties.

There are many kinds of "three treasures" in Guangdong. Some people think that they are tangerine peel, old ginger, and straw grass; Salted Kumquat.

Among the three treasures, the position of two treasures is very stable, and the last one has its own theory.

And Li Xiao came here this time because he wanted to wholesale some tangerine peel from the three treasures of Guangdong to take home. On the one hand, it was for storage, and on the other hand, it was for eating.

There are many uses of tangerine peel, making tea, making syrup, making soup, cooking, basically every household in Guangdong stores some tangerine peel.

However, the most famous place for tangerine peel is not in Dongguan, but in a place called Xinhui. Li Xiao is interested in going to Xinhui after the next year.

He was going to buy some tangerine peels in large quantities there. After all, the longer the tangerine peels were aged, the more effective they would be, and the higher the value.

During the citrus harvest season, pick off the citrus skin when it turns from green to yellow, take only the citrus skin, cut the citrus open with three or four knives, take out the citrus peel, dry it, and store it for a certain period of time to obtain A nice tangerine peel.

Moreover, tangerine peel is used in many Cantonese dishes. It is not a big problem to store some at home, and it is quite easy to store. It does not need to be like red wine, and you need to dig a cellar for low-temperature storage.

As long as things like tangerine peel are not placed in a humid place, and they don't let it grow moldy, it's fine.

And even if there is mold, as long as the mold spots are not red or black, they can still be eaten. As long as they are exposed to the sun for a period of time, the mold spots on them will fall off automatically.

Moreover, it is very convenient to use. The most important thing is that the medicinal properties of tangerine peel are very mild, and it can be eaten by both the elderly and children, sick or not.

Li Xiao's eyes kept scanning across the shops with a sense of age, hesitating whether to open his live broadcast.

But after thinking about it, he still rejected this idea. Although there is a wholesale business here, but he is a newbie who comes here to buy goods, and the price is not much lower after all.

If you really want to bring some good goods to everyone, it is best to go to the local area.

Besides, I also need to start a live broadcast when I wait to cook, so there is no rush.

Li Xiao looked at the price a little bit, he had never bought this kind of thing before, after all, it was his mother who bought vegetables at home, and after he left, he rarely saw things like tangerine peel outside.

Generally speaking, tangerine peels less than three years old do not appear on the market, because there is a paradox here, tangerine peels less than three years old are not called tangerine peels, and those with a shelf life of less than three years can only be called fruit peels or orange peels.

Chenpi can only be called Chenpi when it has been stored for three years, and with the growth of time, the longer the aging time, the higher the value.

This is similar to abalone. The longer the storage time of abalone, the better.

The three-year dried tangerine peel that is just edible here is very cheap, and you can get a catty for 100 yuan. If you want more, the boss will give you a little discount, but once the time becomes longer, its price will be lower. will start to soar.

Li Xiao didn't even bother to look at some of the younger tangerine peels. After all, he was not short of a hundred or so yuan now, so he set his sights on tangerine peels with a storage period of more than 10 years.

Although tangerine peel is easy to preserve, but due to the large amount of use, the longer the age, the less the stock on the market, but the stock of tangerine peel aged about 10 years is still very large.

Li Xiao looked at a few of them at random, and they basically fluctuated between 600 and 800 yuan per catty.

As for why there is such a price fluctuation, it mainly depends on the appearance of the tangerine peel.

Because there will be a kind of weather called Huinantian here in Guangdong, the tangerine peel, which seems to be very easy to preserve, is actually very dangerous in Guangdong.

Because once you return to the southern sky, the humidity in the air will be very high. In many cases, the ground and walls will be covered with water droplets. Standing water, that's right, standing water! ! !You read that right! ! !

This has also led to the fact that the tangerine peel can be obtained only if it is not stored in a humid place. It is very easy to become damp and moldy due to the influence of returning to the south sky, which may make the whole batch of tangerine peel unusable, which is also because the amount of tangerine peel is small one of the reasons.

However, as I said before, if there is mold, it can still be used as long as it is dried, but this will reduce its medicinal value and its appearance will be seriously affected.

In some serious cases, it is even necessary to break off a few of the leaves in order to continue to preserve.

It needs to be said here that usually the tangerine peel has three, four or six leaves. As for how many leaves come out, it depends on the number of peeled pieces when making the tangerine peel.

The number of leaves does not affect the efficacy of tangerine peel, but it will affect its appearance. In order to prevent the leaves of tangerine peel from falling off, it is usually made into the shape of three leaves.

In this way, the joints of the leaves of the leaves will be thicker, and the dried orange peel will not cause the joints to break due to being too dry.

Once the leaves of tangerine peel are broken, the price will plummet.

Because normally, the leaves will not break. Usually, the breakage occurs because of improper storage, which leads to mold or insects.

So those moldy, deteriorating, and moth-eaten leaves were artificially pulled out, which caused him to lose his arms and legs. This can also explain why the appearance affects the medicinal value.

The price of 800 a catty seems very high, but it is not the case. After all, the longer the orange peel is stored, the lighter the weight will be. Ten years ago, there might be one catty. After 10 years, there may be seven or eight taels left. In addition, storage costs and losses The cost, as well as the cost of manual finishing are also there.

It is not that there is no older and more effective tangerine peel in the market.

But Li Xiao doesn't have the relevant skills to distinguish whether those tangerine peels that claim to be 20 or 30 years old are real or not. Although Cantonese Cuisine Skills Proficiency contains some information about the use of tangerine peels, it is only incidental knowledge and not detailed. You can only tell which tangerine peels are better to use.
