Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 263

After taking out the necessary items, Li Xiao began to explain the second course:
"The following dish is even simpler. The ingredients only need two kinds of Flammulina velutipes and beef."

"Wash Flammulina velutipes with clean water and cut off the roots. The roots must be removed, because a certain amount of pesticides and fertilizers will be used when planting Flammulina velutipes."

"These pesticides and fertilizers cannot be completely absorbed and decomposed by Flammulina velutipes. The place where these harmful components accumulate the most is the root of Flammulina velutipes."

"If the roots are not removed, then we will eat a lot of harmful substances into our stomachs."

"In addition, in order to increase the weight of Flammulina velutipes, some merchants may cut some Flammulina velutipes near the bottom with culture medium. If we don't cut off the roots, we may eat the culture medium in these components. "

You first have to show the processed Flammulina velutipes in front of everyone. At this time, the Flammulina velutipes have been washed and their heads removed, and Li Xiao has broken them up with his fingers.

The Flammulina velutipes that were originally in a neat group have now become several separate.

"After separating all the enoki mushrooms, we can now re-roll them together, pick up a piece of fat beef, pick up about 10 enoki mushrooms and use the fat beef to roll the enoki mushrooms inside."

"Of course, those who like to eat enoki mushrooms can put more. Those who like to eat meat can put a few less. Of course, too little is not enough. If there are too few enoki mushrooms, the beef roll with enoki mushrooms will be loose and unsightly."

After speaking, the first finished product was displayed in front of everyone, the waist of Flammulina velutipes was wrapped with a piece of fat beef slices with quite beautiful patterns.

He turned the rolled enoki mushroom fat beef roll in a circle, and showed the audience in the live broadcast room the front and back. After all, although the method is very simple, he is still very worried that some audiences will not be able to learn it.

Studio.

"Hey, why does the anchor keep turning the fat cow around? What does it mean?"

"Can't you see it? The anchor is letting you see what the finished product looks like, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it."

"This dish is really as long as you have hands. It's very simple. I decided to try this dish tomorrow. If it works, I will have a chance to show my skills on the night of the New Year's Eve."

"By the way, this thing doesn't need to be rooted with a toothpick or something like that? Won't it fall apart easily?"

After Li Xiao showed it again, he also noticed the audience's conversation, but he did not answer directly, but put the rolled enoki mushroom aside, and then kept turning his hands and feet quickly, and soon a box of a catty of fat All the cows were rolled up by him.

Only then did he turn around and go to the refrigerator, and took out three red peppers from the refrigerator.

After washing the red pepper, he said:
"Just now I saw someone say that it will fall apart when it is rolled like this. This is true. If we put it in the pan like this and turn it over, it will be easy for the rolled fat beef roll to fall apart."

"Just now I saw a friend from the audience saying that toothpicks are indeed okay, but considering that there will be old people and children on the New Year's Eve dinner, I am worried that the old people and children will not pay attention and eat toothpicks in their stomachs, which will be troublesome .”

"So, I thought of another way."

Speaking of which, Li Xiao cut up all the red hot peppers in his hand, and cut them into small red rings. The rings were very thin, and the thickness was also very thin, only about the thickness of a coin.

He displayed the thin slices of red pepper in front of everyone, and said:
"We can put this ring of red pepper on top of the enoki mushroom beef roll, so that the beef roll will not fall apart."

"Of course, because I had planned it long ago, I bought large red hot peppers. You must choose the right size. Don't buy hot peppers that are too small to fit into the fat beef rolls. That will be troublesome."

Studio

"Hey, after putting it on, it looks pretty good."

"What kind of tiger and wolf words are in the anchor's mouth?"

"I'm afraid the anchor thinks that Chaoguan has already taken the annual vacation, so there is no fear?"

Put all the red plastic rings on the fat beef rolls. He put two rings on each fat beef roll. After all, safety is the first. If one of them is worn out, there is another one to make up.

After processing, Li Xiao began to prepare the sauce, which was also very easy to handle.

"This is the fat beef roll-style teriyaki sauce we made. The seasoning we need to use is salt, sugar, soy sauce and a little oyster sauce. If you like sweet, you can add a little more sugar and add a little bit at the end Warm water to help all the seasonings come together."

While introducing, Li Xiao added various seasonings into the bowl, and then stirred them evenly with a spoon.

Take out a new pan, this time the pan Li Xiao chose is a little smaller, after all, this time the portion is smaller, cooking with a suitable size pan has a proper bonus.

He spreads the beef rolls neatly on top of the pan and pours a thin layer of fat along the sides of the pan before turning on the fire.

The orange flame slowly burned the pan made of pig iron, and as the temperature of the pan rose slowly, the sound of sizzling continued to sound from the pan.

Along with the sound, the rich aroma of fat cows began to permeate the open kitchen space.

"Fat beef and Flammulina velutipes are very easy to cook food, so when we smell the fragrance of the fat beef, we can gently lift up one of the fat beef rolls with chopsticks to see if the back of the fat beef roll is It's getting browned."

"When this happens, the fat beef roll can be quickly turned over."

"Wait until the other side is also fried, and use the same method to check whether it has been fried. After frying, we can pour the sauce we just adjusted into the pan, and finally cover the pot and turn the heat to the maximum. Wait for the juice in the pot to converge, then you can get out of the pot."

While speaking, Li Xiao had already completed all the steps and put the lid on the pot.

At the same time, the aroma of lamb chops came from the other side of the kitchen, but the oven's sealing effect was really good, although there was still a little smell coming out of the cooling vent.

However, because the aroma of the snowflake beef here is more intense, the smell of the lamb chops was directly covered up just now. Now that the pot is covered, I can finally smell the aroma of the lamb chops.

The taste of lamb chops is very complex, because it is covered with a lot of spices, and the spices are roasted at high temperature to give off an attractive aroma.

I walked to the front of the oven and looked through the transparent porthole. The lamb chops were sizzling with oil under the high temperature.

The original green vanilla material also began to turn golden yellow, and wisps of white smoke emerged from the tin foil, and then were scattered by the inner circulation of the oven, and rushed out of the oven with the exhaust of heat dissipation.

I looked down at the time on the oven, there were 3 minutes left.

The time is just right, when the lamb chops on this side are ready, the fat beef rolls on the other side will also be out of the pan.

Then Li Xiao looked at the lawn outside the villa, where the bonfire he had set up outside was burning vigorously.

The wood on the iron frame was bought by Li Xiao just now, and this iron frame is a barbecue grill that Li Xiao found out from the warehouse, but the 4 legs of this grill were not installed by Li Xiao, so it became A charcoal burner that can hold a large amount of wood.

The reason why Li Xiao bought a large bundle of square, long strips of wood is because the TV next to the display stand in Sam's Supermarket shows the use of these woods. The effect is too dreamy, kind of like watching a movie. Feel.

Li Xiao didn't know which string he hadn't set up properly, so he bought it directly, but after buying it, he felt a little distressed, after all, a large bundle of wood cost 38 yuan.

And there are only twelve pieces of wood in a bundle, which means that such a piece of wood with the thickness of an arm costs more than three yuan, which is a bit expensive. Fortunately, Li Xiao is different now. But the distressed feeling quickly disappeared without a trace.

The inside of the wood does not seem to be completely dry, so after the fire, there will be a faint crackle or two in the wood from time to time.

A few sparks splashed out like meteors, ejected from the red-hot wood, and pierced the night sky.

At this time, Li Xiao was carrying a portable video camera. It was originally for the convenience of the audience to watch how he made the dishes, but now it just happened to let the audience in the live broadcast room see the beautiful scene.

"I'll go, what a beautiful yard."

"Although there is only a lawn and a tree in the yard, it is really amazing to put such a bonfire inside."

"But he will bring rice and vegetables to spend the night with you right away."

【XXXXX has been banned for 24 hours. 】

"The sister upstairs is really persevering, but the anchor's little girlfriend seems to be merciful. Didn't she say that she would be permanently banned? Why is she so soft now and only banned for 24 hours?"

"Isn't this courtyard too comfortable? The anchor has such a courtyard in the city center. I'm so envious that I'm autistic and separated."

"Cutting together next to the warm bonfire in winter, eating lamb chops, the whole body is warm. In summer, eating iced watermelon, beer, and watching my children having fun in the garden, then life really has no regrets."

"In fact, this kind of life is very easy. Many rural areas are still like this. Of course, the premise is that you can bear the loneliness."

Li Xiao was also stunned by the scene in front of him, until the oven beeped to indicate that the time was up.

He quickly came back to his senses, and hurried to the front of the stove to take a look at his fat beef roll enoki mushrooms. Fortunately, the time on both sides was almost the same.

So after the oven countdown ended, there was no burning on this side.

Nervously wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, he was secretly afraid. Fortunately, there was a countdown reminder on the side of the oven, otherwise he would be overturned when he was cooking this time.

In case the fat cow is scorched because of distraction, the fun will be great.

He knows that there are quite a few black people waiting for his black ingredients, and he, who has always shown good talent, accidentally overturned his car while making such a simple dish.

They can hype up such a thing over and over again for several months. When the time comes, with video evidence in hand, how can ordinary viewers know that you didn't grasp the fire because of distraction?
After all, current self-media pushers will only push what they want to tell you. Once you use Chunqiu's brushwork, you don't even know the truth of the truth.

Li Xiao put the fat beef rolls on the plate one by one, and arranged them in a nice circle. The finished product was quite good.

"This fat beef roll enoki mushroom is done like this, and the finished product is very decent. It is also a good dish for the New Year's Eve dinner. It is not only beautiful but also delicious."

As he spoke, he put on anti-scalding gloves and took out the plate of lamb chops with herbs that had turned golden yellow from the oven.

Holding the fat beef roll in the left hand, and the vanilla lamb chops in the right, all of a sudden I moved to the left hand to smell the aroma of the fat beef roll, and then to the right hand, smelling the strong vanilla fragrance of the vanilla lamb chops and the rich aroma of suet. .

Putting two plates of temptingly scented food on the wrought iron table on the grass, Li Xiao glanced at the burning bonfire and at the food on the table, but always felt that something was missing.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiao immediately figured it out, how can there be meat without wine, and it just so happened that he not only bought Moutai but also bought a few bottles of foreign wine.

He went to the small bar next to the kitchen and picked out the bottle of white rum he needed, and took lemon and mint from the refrigerator.

Li Xiao didn't buy soda water and syrup, because he never thought that he would suddenly want to mix drinks on a whim.

But coincidentally, he bought another thing, and that was Sprite, a very versatile drink.

That can make some less expensive wines more palatable, and it can directly replace the role of soda and syrup.

Although he doesn't have any bartending skills, for him who has already mastered a lot of cooking skills, it may not be possible to make some difficult cocktails, but it is too simple to make simple cocktails like Mojito .

Put lemon slices and mint leaves in a cup, crush them with a rolling pin, pour in a few ice cubes, then pour in white rum, and finally pour in frozen Sprite, stir gently with a spoon, a simple version of mint Mo Gito is done.

After taking a sip, the taste of the wine was very light, because Li Xiao didn't put too much white rum.

The fresh scent of mint and lemon is very strong, because the sprite mixed with the light wine taste is very comfortable in the throat, and the sweetness is very refreshing.

Sit in the garden with a glass of wine and watch the fire crackle.

"It's so comfortable. It's not bad to cook a meal at home occasionally. It doesn't matter if there is no one around. It's quiet enough and free enough."

"Okay, I've been busy for an hour, and I'm going to eat."

As he spoke, he picked up a small piece of lamb chops.

The lamb chops are close to the tip of the nose, and the strong vanilla smell mixed with various spices runs through the nose, especially the basil leaves that have been roasted at high temperature.

The strong aroma inside the leaves is forced out by the high temperature. The smell is very special, a bit like a mixture of lemon leaves and mulberry. It will feel a little pungent at first, but after a few smells, it will feel very good.

After one bite, the spices have been baked crispy. The lamb chops have been fried on the pan for 2 minutes, so the lamb chops have a hard and crispy shell that protects the lamb chops from gravy.

So the moment Li Xiao bit the lamb chops, the juice from the lamb chops rushed into his throat, and he closed his eyes enjoying himself, feeling the sensation between his tongue and his lips.

"I'm not joking. This piece of lamb chops is really amazing. If there are 100 points, I can give myself 90 points. The remaining 99 points are entirely due to material problems. If I can find better lamb and spices, then this I can give a steak [-] points, and the remaining point is for myself to have room for improvement."

"The shell of the lamb chops has become burnt and fragrant. When you mix those golden spices into your mouth, the rich spice flavor and the burnt lamb are really satisfying."

"And because I didn't adjust the temperature very high when baking, only 150 degrees, and I fried both sides of the lamb chops in advance."

"So the gravy inside didn't evaporate due to the high temperature, and there is still a lot of gravy inside. Because the lamb is young, it tastes very fresh and tender, and it doesn't feel sticky at all. The fiber is very thin and fine. And it doesn't have the slightest smell of sheep, which is great."

As soon as the words fell, he ate the small lamb chops in two or three bites.

After taking a mouthful of hot lamb chops, my whole body began to warm up, and I took another sip of the cold Mojit.

The feeling of ice and fire is so refreshing, the lamb chops with a strong smell of oil and spices and the fresh and comfortable Mojit form two natural contrasts.

The fresh and delicious Mojit can eliminate the greasy in the mouth at once.

He let out a long breath, and stretched out his hand to the second lamb chop, not because he was bragging, but because the lamb chop was really well done.

Although the method is very simple, but because the lamb is very fresh, it only needs to be made simply to get a pretty good grilled lamb chops.

After eating the second piece of lamb chops, Li Xiao picked up his chopsticks and looked at the other side, where he arranged the fat beef roll enoki mushrooms in a round shape.

Since the wrought iron table was very close to the bonfire, Li Xiao could feel the constant heat radiating from the bonfire.

Because the wooden blocks purchased from Sam's Supermarket are all square and long, Li Xiao easily built them into a wooden well tower structure.

The structure of the so-called wooden well tower is actually very simple. Two symmetrical wooden bars are placed on each floor, and the wooden bars on the lower floor are perpendicular to the wooden bars on the upper floor.

This kind of structure allows the air to circulate well, whether it is from the inside to the outside or from the top to the bottom, the flame can burn very transparently. You only need to ignite the lowest layer of wood, and then the flame will burn upwards slowly.

This will not only burn well, but also the fire will burn for a long time, which is very suitable for survival in the wild.

Because of its burning characteristics, it is very suitable for lighting during night vigil. As long as certain skills are used when building a wooden well tower, a wooden well tower can burn for more than 7 to 9 hours.

However, Li Xiao did not build this for long-term burning, so he poured a little alcohol on the upper wood to speed up the burning of the upper wood.
