Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 262 262. [French Lamb Chops]

After buying the meat, there is not much space left in the huge shopping cart.

But Li Xiao didn't go directly to pay the bill, because his shopping wasn't over yet.

He casually pulled a new cart from the side of the road, and continued to walk towards the vegetable and fruit area. Now Li Xiao's appearance was a little exaggerated.

Because he is currently broadcasting live with his mobile phone in his left hand, and using 5 fingers in his right hand to control two huge trolleys. If one of the trolleys was not empty, everyone would be shocked to drop their jaws.

People kept looking at Li Xiao, and of course there were some good-looking young ladies among them.

Some people were eager to try with their mobile phones, and wanted to hand over their WeChat, but unfortunately they didn't dare to go forward after seeing Li Xiao live.

After all, one of the four scumbag occupations rumored on the Internet is an anchor. After all, a man who can be an anchor, with basic appearance, figure, and skills, always has one online, and of course he can attract many girls.

Too many choices can easily dazzle the eyes, and naturally it is easy to become a scumbag.

For example, some anchors who sell the characters of affectionate and loving wives, while selling affection every minute, hook up with female college students, and by the way, they get pregnant before they are married.

But Li Xiao didn't care so much, went to the vegetable and fruit section, and continued to buy some vegetables that are easy to store, such as Chinese cabbage, baby vegetables, potatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes
The originally empty trolley was quickly occupied by various vegetables.

It was only then that Li Xiao realized something was wrong. His current actions were a little too exaggerated, even though there were powered wheels under the cart.

But now that I am pushing a cart and a half of goods, I can easily live broadcast, which seems a bit outrageous.

He quickly took out a mobile phone holder from his backpack and hung it on one of the small carts.

In this way, he can control a huge cart with one hand. Although the cart is full of goods, people will deeply doubt whether its weight can be pushed by one hand, but it is better than controlling two carts with one hand. The cart is coming more normally.

Seeing the eyes focused on him, he began to leave slowly. Li Xiao heaved a long sigh of relief, good guy, he almost made big news by accident again.

It seems that I will not only pay attention to controlling strength and speed during competitions, but also pay attention to daily life, after all, I am now a public figure.

Every live broadcast has 10,000+ people watching. If you behave too abnormally and attract the attention of others, you will be in big trouble.

Fortunately, he didn't bring his usual live broadcast equipment today, otherwise he would be discovered by the audience in the live broadcast room through the No.

Although I, as a first-level athlete, excuse myself to exercise regularly and have strong physical fitness, I can also evade it, but such unnecessary lies should not be said.

After all, it takes 10 lies to cover up a lie, and with more and more lies, it is easy for the human establishment to collapse one day.

In his own life, he may be just an ordinary food anchor with decent cooking skills, but he doesn't want to suddenly become a superhuman food anchor with strange power one day.

After buying some shelf-stable vegetables, he bought some fresh spices that he will use these days.

Since this is a foreign supermarket, there are actually quite a few foreign fresh seasonings.

Although the price is a bit expensive, but considering that fresh spices can bring better effects to the food, he didn't care about the high price.

Passing through the last drink area, Li Xiao bought some more drinks and drinks.

He originally wanted to buy some older Moutais. After all, he had to drink at dinner parties every year, and after shopping around for a long time, he discovered that although such a big supermarket sells Moutais, the ones they sell are new ones this year.

However, Li Xiao didn't plan to go out to a small private store to buy, after all, he really couldn't tell whether the wine he bought was real or fake, or whether it was guaranteed by such a large supermarket.

2800 bottles, 6 bottles in a box, he bought 2 boxes with a wave of his hand, after all, there are many people, so buying more and drinking more will be more enjoyable.

In the end, he pushed two large carts of all kinds of food and settled the bill. He was still a little speechless when he saw the bill, which was more than 5000.

Among them, two boxes of Feitian Maotai cost 2 yuan, and the rest of the messy stockpiles cost more than [-] yuan.

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw Li Xiao scanning the QR code to pay, they were all dumbfounded.

"Good guy, it's really cool to watch the anchor go shopping just now, but the amount of checkout is too much."

"More than 6 yuan, which is worth my salary for a year."

"The anchor is a real tyrant, and a purchase means that someone else's salary is too high."

"With so much money, don't you donate some to those poor children in the mountains?"

"Is there a brain hole upstairs? The anchor spent his own money and didn't waste it. It's none of your business?"

"No, doesn't the anchor still owe the audience gifts? Why do you have the money to squander and don't have the money to give everyone gifts? Isn't this a bad debt?"

Li Xiao stopped immediately when he saw this barrage, and quickly explained as he packed up his things:
"Don't worry everyone, everyone's gifts will definitely not be short. Some time ago, it was because of insufficient money, and another reason was that the tangerine peels in Dongguan are relatively expensive."

"So I made a promise at the beginning. After the Chinese New Year, I will go to the Xinhui to buy it for the audience. I will never break my promise. My post is still on the top. If you are worried, you can take a screenshot immediately. Everyone can rest assured."

After he explained it in this way, many people felt relieved. After all, his credit is still very good so far, and others are not worried at all that a popular anchor like Li Xiao will ruin his reputation because of such a small amount of money. destroy.

Of course, the ordinary audience believed it, but those professional sunspots were still trying to get the rhythm, but Jiang Yingxue, who found something wrong without saying a few words, immediately gave them a permanent silence package.

After chatting with the audience for a while, Li Xiao walked out of the supermarket, glanced at today's reward situation, Li Xiao frowned, shopping for more than an hour, and the rewards have already exceeded 9.

After deducting the share, there are still close to 5 yuan, which is almost worth most of my shopping expenses.

If I had agreed to the new sharing plan of the kitten live broadcast platform, the reward share of more than 9 would be nearly 6.

But after thinking about it, I didn't seem to be so short of 1 yuan, so I just smiled and didn't take this matter to heart.

It was hard to move all the things into the car, sitting in the car and looking at the stuff, he was a little scared.

Why didn't he realize that he still had such a strong desire to shop before?
I actually bought a big car all of a sudden. Fortunately, I bought a Mercedes-Benz SUV. The space in the car is large enough, the trunk is ok, and there are many places to put things. Otherwise, I might have to order a car. Didi Che helped to send them back together.

However, after a frenzied shopping session, the originally depressed mood really improved a lot. No wonder many people on the Internet said that they would go out to the mall when they were unhappy. Shopping can really make people feel better.

Driving back to Longding Mansion was another toss, putting everything where they should be.

Li Xiao once again lamented the arrogance of the original owner, and the three large double-door refrigerators were full of things bought today.

Some potatoes, carrots and other vegetables that don't need to be put in the refrigerator, Li Xiao directly put them in bamboo baskets.

Although the three double-door refrigerators have a lot of space, Li Xiao has no choice but to buy more things, so he can only feel sorry for these cheap cuties and stay outside first.

After finishing everything, Li Xiao was free to take out his camera equipment.

The playback pixels in the live broadcast room immediately changed from 480P to 4K.

"As a professional anchor, it's really unprofessional not to carry a camera with him."

"It's still comfortable to look at like this now. Just now, when I looked at the picture quality, I thought I had traveled back to 10 years ago."

"The anchor, stop dawdling. It took almost an hour to watch you move things and teach us how to cook a few big dishes."

"Yes, I also want to learn how to cook hard dishes with my hands. I also want to show my skills in front of my mother this year. Don't let her tell me that I can cook instant noodles all day long."

Li Xiao stretched out his index finger and tapped the screen:

"Don't worry, I will show you how to make this hard dish right now. Let's teach you how to make two hard dishes today. After all, I am alone here, and I can't finish it if I cook too much."

He took out the box of 120-day-old lamb chops that he had just bought from the refrigerator.

The lamb chops have been cut in advance, one by one like a small tomahawk.

After removing the plastic wrap on it, Li Xiao leaned over to the lamb chops and smelled it lightly, then nodded with satisfaction. Apart from the clean smell of blood, there was no extra peculiar smell.

"We can smell the lamb chops after we buy them back. If the lamb legs are fishy before cooking, the smell will probably become stronger after cooking."

"In addition, we can also smell the lamb chops for any strange smell, because after all, most areas do not produce sheep, and they need to be slaughtered from far away pastures before being transported."

"Therefore, mutton is likely to have some accidents during transportation, which will lead to deterioration, so we must pay special attention to this."

The sheep smell on the lamb chops is very strong, and you can't smell it unless you distinguish carefully. It is true that the age of this sheep is very young as stated on the package instructions.

Li Xiao pressed his fingers lightly on the mutton, the meat of the mutton chops was very firm, and he could clearly feel the resistance on his fingers.

At the edge where his finger pressed down, a circle of faint blood seeped out as he pressed his finger.

The blood water is bright red, not the dark red that has been oxidized due to storage for too long.
After the finger left the mutton, the finger print that was pressed by the finger quickly recovered, as if it had never been dented.

"You should have noticed the movement of my fingers just now, so that you can check whether the meat is fresh."

"If the fingers can be pressed down easily, and the finger prints can stay on the piece of meat for a long time, it proves that the time of this piece of meat is very long. The muscles of this piece of meat have lost their activity and will not retract naturally. It's very stiff."

"Usually this kind of very hard condition occurs, and the minimum storage time is 3 to 5 days. If its color starts to turn black and dark, it means that its storage time will be longer."

"Although this kind of meat can still be eaten, the texture and taste will be very poor, and it is no longer suitable for cooking with light seasoning. It is necessary to use more rough and heavy-tasting methods to cover up some of the bad taste of the meat. flavor and texture.”

"However, the piece of lamb chop in front of me is quite fresh. After pressing it down with my finger, it immediately bounced up."

"Now I will teach you how to make the first [French Herb Lamb Chops]."

"Everyone, don't hear such a lofty prefix in French, and feel that this dish is very difficult. On the contrary, it is super simple."

"However, the premise of making this dish requires an oven at home. This is a necessary premise, so if the audience who does not have this oven can wait patiently, the next dish does not need an oven."

While speaking, Li Xiao had already divided the lamb chops into two halves. After all, this was a two-kilogram box of lamb chops. He couldn't finish it all at once, and even if he could finish it, he didn't want to eat so much at one time.

Wrap the other half of the unused lamb chops in plastic wrap and put them back in the refrigerator. Li Xiao picked up a pair of scissors and carefully groomed them.

"The most important point in making this French lamb chop is that we first remove the fascia and fat on the lamb chop as much as possible."

"Because the fascia will cause the lamb to shrink when roasting, and it will affect the taste afterward."

Although Li Xiao's knife skills are stronger than most chefs, he has already said that this dish is a demonstration for some audiences with relatively average cooking skills (cha).

Although I gave up using a knife to remove the fascia and grease on the lamb chops, I chose to use scissors, a portable and practical tool.

Although it will take more time, scissors are indeed more suitable as a novice demonstration.

It took a few minutes to remove all the fascia, and he said to the audience in the live broadcast room:

"The movements we deal with can be slightly larger. Don't be reluctant to process those mutton. We try to cut off all the fascia as much as possible, so that it will be more tender when we eat it. After we remove all the tendons After the membrane is removed, the surface of the lamb chops can be rinsed with clean water."

Turn on the faucet and quickly wash away some of the remaining fascia and blood on the lamb chops. After washing, he put the lamb chops aside to dry.

Then spread two layers of chef's paper on the workbench next to it, put the lamb chops flat on the chef's paper, and then cover the lamb chops with two layers of chef's paper, press gently with your fingers, so that the excess water can be absorbed as much as possible dry.

Li Xiao took a bottle of pink rose salt, sprinkled it lightly on the balcony, then sprinkled a pinch of black pepper, and then used his fingers to make a spa.

"We do a light marinade first to get his lamb in, and that's when we can make the real marinade."

"Just now we bought a lot of spices at Sam's supermarket, which is for this time. Of course, if there is no way to buy fresh spices locally, it is also possible to dry them. Of course, the taste will be slightly different, but Has little effect."

"Add basil leaves, mint leaves, parsley, and if you can find rosemary, you can also put two or three sprigs to taste better."

"Add spices and pour them into the cooking machine, then pour a bowl of bread crumbs, a lot of Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and if you don't have olive oil at home, you can use soybean oil or tea seed oil instead, if you don't have any Just use peanut oil or butter."

Li Xiao pressed the switch of the cooking machine, and the blades of the cooking machine easily shredded the fragile materials.

It is not necessary to beat all the ingredients into powder, after all, there is a little graininess, which can increase the taste of the finished product.

Pour the crushed material into an iron plate, and you get a green grassland. Fortunately, it is a plate instead of a bowl, otherwise it may become a green hat.

No, it seems that no matter whether the former or the latter, there are some inappropriate ambiguities.

Shaking his head quickly, throwing out the strange thoughts in his heart, Li Xiao smiled and explained to the audience in the live broadcast room:
"Okay, now our preparatory work is done."

As he spoke, he turned on the stove, put a large piece of butter, unpeeled garlic, and garlic on the pan, and then spread the lamb chops that were slightly shorter than the palm of his hand in the pan.

Since the size of this pan is quite large, it is a very rare 24-inch pan, so a lamb chop that is close to two catties can just fill the entire pan, and there is no need to trouble him to fry it twice.

"We must pay attention to the heat when we fry this lamb chops. We must use medium and low heat to fry slowly, and constantly pour the melted butter in the pan on the lamb chops, so that the lamb chops can fully absorb the fragrant oil. .”

Looking at the unpeeled garlic, some viewers in the live broadcast said with a smile:

"Come on, the host is getting lazy now, and he doesn't even bother to peel the garlic."

However, someone quickly refuted this viewer's point of view:

"It's not that the host is too lazy, but this method of frying with oil is usually not peeled, because once the skin is peeled, the garlic is easily burnt and produces a bad burnt smell."

,

When the two sides of the lamb chops start to change color and turn brown, you can turn off the heat, pick up the lamb chops from the pot, and take a few new sheets of cooking paper.

"The surface and the fried lamb chops should be evenly placed on the cooking paper, so that the excess fat will be absorbed by the cooking paper."

"Afterwards, you can put the dried lamb chops on the green grassland, and let the lamb chops roll on the grass, so that the surface of the lamb chops can be covered with spices."

"All the lamb chops have now been wrapped in a new layer of green clothes. After that, we can put them flat on the iron plate and put them in the oven at 150 degrees to 10 to 15 minutes before eating."

Speaking of which, Li Xiao put the lamb chops on an iron plate covered with a layer of tin foil, and then stuffed the iron plate into the preheated oven.

"Then while we're waiting for the lamb chops to be cooked through, we can make another big dish that's also pretty simple and doesn't require an oven."

As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the refrigerator, and took out a box of the smallest fat beef from the refrigerator. Although it was said to be the smallest, it still weighed a whole catty.

In addition, I took out a large box of Flammulina velutipes from the refrigerator.
