Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 272. The black tiger shrimp is too big and can only be broken in half
"I think if I don't have a super-large oven at home, I can't finish this roasted whole lamb. It sounds so difficult."

"I'd better go out and eat."

"It's too difficult. In the end, I still have to bake it myself. Just my grilled chicken wings can be burnt, and I'm thinking too much about roasting a whole lamb."

"Sure enough, I knew that the anchor said it was very easy, very simple, as long as he had hands, that was for himself."

"It's true that ordinary viewers like us are drooling watching it."

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect that such a simple hard dish in his eyes would be so difficult in front of the audience? ? ?

However, the grandfathers of these audiences are their own parents, not their second uncles, and third uncles can't mess around.

He chuckled and explained:
"In fact, you don't have to worry too much. In fact, roasting a whole lamb and using charcoal fire is also very simple. How about it, I will let a high school student show you how to roast it with charcoal fire later."

Li Xiao hurried to the lobby, found Yu Qing who was taking online classes, and told him the story.

Yu Qing set her sights on the little lamb on the workbench, nodded after thinking for a while, after all, this matter sounds interesting, and his learning efficiency is too low at other people's homes.

Originally, I could read ten pages of topics in half an hour, but now I only read half of them in an hour.

The efficiency is only 1/4 of the original. Since the efficiency is so low, it is better to find something interesting to change your mind.

Some young ladies in the live broadcast room immediately let out a wolf howl when they saw the little fresh meat appearing in the live broadcast.

"Wow, this little cutie, the skin is so tender!"

"Such a pure little face doesn't even have a single pimple, it's so perfect."

"The genes of the anchor's family are really good. This little handsome guy will become a heartthrob when he grows up."

"Seeing this little cutie makes me want to give birth to a baby for the anchor, it must be very cute."

[XXXX] has been banned by the administrator for 1 minute.

"It's too much for the administrator to silence the New Year's Eve."

"That's right. Just now, I saw someone driving in the live broadcast room next door, and the supervisor turned a blind eye. The administrator is too strict."

"Laughing to death, the administrator has already seen the New Year's sake, and only silenced for 1 minute."

Jiang Yingxue or because of the New Year, also rarely jumped out to speak to everyone:

"Hello, viewers and friends. I am your administrator. Thank you for your support to Li Xiao all the way. I wish you all good health and happiness every day during the New Year."

When Li Xiao saw that Jiang Yingxue was celebrating Chinese New Year, she actually silenced the audience, and the corner of her mouth twitched. Although it was only for one minute, it was a bit outrageous.

He immediately came out to make amends:

"Thank you very much for celebrating Chinese New Year today. Everyone came to support my live broadcast room. There are now 22 viewers in the live broadcast room. I will set up a treasure box worth 50 yuan here."

"As long as you watch it for more than 5 minutes, you can open the treasure chest and the values ​​inside are completely random."

"It is possible to get a gift worth 1 yuan at once, but there should be a kitten's claw at the end of the guarantee. I hope it will bring good luck to everyone."

Studio

"Yo, 50, the anchor is still very angry."

"Haha, I got a 100 yuan car, that's great."

"Oops, I only got a lollipop."

"I'm going, a plane, it's actually a plane, I can finally give my goddess a gift."

"The big brother upstairs is really hurtful. He took the gift from the anchor and gave it to other girls."

While chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room, Li Xiao set up a barbecue grill on the garden. The simple barbecue grill was easy to make, but it was done in less than half an hour.

After the charcoal fire was piled up, Li Xiao turned around and went back to the kitchen, continuing to prepare other dishes.

There are quite a few dishes to prepare today, including the roasted whole lamb, there are a total of 8 dishes and a soup.

【Roasted Whole Lamb】, 【Steamed Pork Ribs】, 【Smoked Egg Beef】, 【Sliced ​​Chicken】, 【Garlic Black Tiger Shrimp】, 【Salted Choy Sum】, 【Black Pepper Beef Ribs】, 【Steamed Dongxing Ban】, finally There is also [Old Hen Abalone Soup], which can be said to be very rich.

After finishing the roasted whole lamb, Li Xiao started to make soup. Guangdong pays attention to old-fashioned soup, and it is common to cook a pot of soup for three or four hours.

Some shops that specialize in Laohuo soup will specially boil the Laohuo soup overnight, so that all the flavors of the soup can be boiled out, and the taste will be more intense.

Of course, some scientific schools will think that such Laohuo soup is very high in guanine, and if you drink too much, you will easily have rheumatism or rheumatoid, and it will also easily cause excessive uric acid.

Of course, the facts are true. The rheumatism rate in Guangdong and Guangxi has been high, except that the people in Guangdong and Guangxi eat more seafood because they are close to the coast.

It is also because people in Guangdong and Guangxi like to use all kinds of strange creatures to perform alchemy and make all kinds of old fire soup.

Even Li Xiao, who loves to drink soup since he was a child, has to admit that drinking soup will make his uric acid soar, but life is precious and love is more expensive. Bubble.

So it is impossible for him not to drink Laohuo soup, not to mention that now that he has a steel stomach, even if he eats nuclear waste, his body will not have adverse reactions, so he is afraid of things like guanine?

The thumb-sized small dried abalone has already been soaked in advance, and now it has become soft. Gently scrub the silt and dirt on it with your hands and throw it into the casserole.

For old hens that have been raised for more than 5 years, it is best to choose the old hens that are free-range and run around in the countryside. Although the meat is as firm as a rock, the chicken has a strong flavor and very little fat content, so it is most suitable for cooking chicken soup.

And the chicken in front of me is quite good, right, only 3 to 4 years old, but from his two feet that have become dark, it can be seen that this chicken has traveled all over the world, and has enough Experience, eating enough bugs, raised a whole body of awe-inspiring chicken spirit.

Cut the old hen into small pieces, wash off the blood on the surface, and put it in a casserole. At the same time, put large slices of ginger to remove the fishy smell of the hen and abalone.

Pour in clean water and cover the lid. After boiling on high heat, turn to medium-low heat and continue to simmer for two or three hours. After that, you will have a pot of fresh, sweet and delicious Laohuo soup.

In the middle, I saw that the ingredients of Li Xiao's soup were so simple, and everyone showed surprised expressions.

"Hey, isn't the host from Cantonese? Why don't you put dried Fujianese in the soup?"

"Is the person upstairs trying to laugh at me to inherit my flowers? Fujianese who are still drying, why don't you have a Fujianese sashimi?"

"The soup made by the anchor is so light. I remember that when my mother made the soup, she had to put a lot of herbs."

"You only saw the surface but didn't look at it seriously. Didn't you find that although the materials put in by the anchor are very simple, there are a lot of them?"

"There are two big bowls of small abalone the size of a thumb, and this old hen is estimated to weigh four to five catties. The Laohuo soup made with so many ingredients seems simple, but the finished product is estimated to be rich and unimaginable. "

"That's right, that's right, I wanted to talk about this question just now, and the materials posted by the anchor are too willing."

Seeing that someone in the audience actually discovered his intentions, he nodded in satisfaction.

As the audience said just now, although he only put abalone and old hen, but because the quantity of these two is quite huge, the change of quantity will lead to the change of quality, so the soup will be very rich and very sweet.

Then Li Xiao took out black tiger prawns that were as thick as two fingers. These black tiger prawns were refrigerated and kept fresh, and they were all frozen hard, sleeping neatly in a cardboard box.

Although these black tiger prawns are not fresh, they are still very fresh, and they are much larger than the normal black tiger prawns that can be bought in the market.

Large size means that the meat of the black tiger prawns is strong enough, the growth time is long enough, and the shrimp flavor is very strong.

And what he's going to do today is not steaming or boiling, so the requirements for whether the black tiger prawns are fresh or not are not very strict.

Put the thick and large black tiger prawns in the sink and rinse them with running water continuously to let them defrost quickly.

Li Xiao introduced:

"Here is a little trick for everyone. If you buy this kind of refrigerated frozen shrimp, don't cook it directly, and don't let it thaw naturally at room temperature. You should put it in water like me. , constantly flushing it with clean water to allow it to thaw quickly."

"This rapid thawing method can ensure that the tissue structure of the shrimp meat is not damaged, making it taste like fresh shrimp meat, with crispy Q bombs."

"In addition, there is another advantage of constantly rinsing with running water, that is, the shrimp meat can absorb enough water while thawing, so that the shrimp meat will be more plump."

Under the washing of running water, the frozen black tiger prawns slowly began to soften, and the color of the surface changed from off-white to black. You can feel the elasticity from the black tiger prawns when you press it lightly with your fingers.

After rinsing in the pool for another minute, I felt that the black tiger prawns were completely soft.

The school is so dark, scoop up all the tiger prawns, put them on a plate to dry, and take out a knife.

Then he put the knife down again, because he considered that the audience might be quite inexperienced with the use of knives.

In order to avoid accidentally hurting his lovely audience with knives, Li Xiao decided to use scissors, a simple and safe tool.

However, this scene was seen by the audience, and each of them became filled with righteous indignation:

"Come and see, everyone, is this something that humans do? Isn't the anchor discriminatory against us?"

"Yes, yes, quickly pick up the knife, we will see you make it with a knife, why look down on people?"

"That's right, let's not look at the scissors, we want to look at how you handle this black tiger shrimp with a knife."

Li Xiao couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw all the requests in the barrage, please, I'm doing this for your own good, and you guys don't know good people.

He felt helpless and hesitated with the scissors in his hands, but seeing the trend of more and more barrage, he still gave in.

He put the scissors back on the shelf, picked up the knife that was shining coldly, and said helplessly:
"Since everyone wants to learn how to use a knife, I will use it to make this dish, but everyone must be careful when using knives, because it is too dangerous."

After the words fell, Li Xiao raised his hands without waiting for the audience to reply.

Pressing the body of the black tiger shrimp with his fingers, the knife quickly slashed across the tentacles, feet and shrimp gun on the head of the shrimp, and the tentacles and feet were separated from the body immediately.

His movements were fast, and the shrimp weighing more than three catties was processed in less than 2 minutes.

A large pile of black tiger prawns seemed to have been stripped of all weapons, and became bare, leaving only the heads and bodies of the prawns intact.

However, before the audience in the live broadcast had time to exclaim in surprise, why the anchor's speed was so agile, Li Xiao's next move made them even more outrageous.

I saw Li Xiao's palms pressing on the bodies of the three huge black tiger shrimps at the same time, the knife was parallel to the palm, and the light of the knife flashed.

The audience in the live broadcast room were a little at a loss, not understanding what the anchor's set of actions meant just now.

Li Xiao had already lifted up the three black tiger prawns under his palm, and gently shook the body of the black tiger prawns with his fingers.

Under his shaking, the black tiger shrimp, which seemed to be intact, immediately changed.

The backs and heads of the three huge black tiger prawns have been divided into two, but they have not been completely broken, and there is still a little adhesion.

Some viewers in the live broadcast room began to regret it, because of the anchor's actions, they really couldn't learn it for a while.

While shaking the black tiger shrimp in his hand, Xiao put down the knife in his hand, picked up the black shrimp line on the back of the shrimp with his fingers, and said to the audience:
"Before we eat shrimp, we must remember to pick out the shrimp's shrimp thread and the black and green gizzard of the shrimp head, because this is the excretory organ of its shrimp, and there are a lot of dirt and sediment in it."

"Of course, this step can be ignored for smaller shrimps, because their shrimp lines will be cleaner and smaller, making it difficult to pick them out."

While speaking, he waved his fingers repeatedly and three shrimp strings appeared on his fingers. Each shrimp string was as thick as two pencil leads, and the shrimp strings were black.

At a glance, I knew that the contents inside were inedible, and at the same time, I used a toothpick to pick out the gizzard in the shrimp head.

Li Xiao cuts the shrimp very quickly, and has the skill of Pao Ding Jie Niu and the system bestowed on him.

He has a very thorough understanding of the structure of all animals, and he knows exactly where the tip of the knife needs to be inserted, and how much force the blade needs to use to break open the black tiger prawns, so as to save the most effort without cutting off the prawn threads.

three,

six,

nine,

In the blink of an eye, three catties of black tiger shrimp fell apart in Li Xiao's hands.

This smooth and flowing action made the audience in the live broadcast room very enjoyable, and some viewers who were happy watching were even generous with rewards.

A large number of rewards has made the stagnant popularity rise again, and the amount of rewards has also continued to soar. Some local tyrants even rewarded rockets worth [-].

Because Li Xiao's movements are so entertaining, if outsiders don't know, they may even think that this is a performance rather than cooking. The shining knife light cuts across three black tiger shrimps and they are divided into two halves. Such a visual impact It is very eye-catching.

If someone pays attention to the popularity list of the food area live broadcasted by Kitty Cat at this time, they will immediately find that Li Xiao, who has only live broadcasted for more than half an hour, has already rushed to the top 10 of the food area popularity list, and the gap between the previous anchors is no longer It's big.

The other anchors found that their rankings kept dropping. When they looked at the popularity list, they found that the guy who had disappeared for two days had reappeared. However, they had nothing to do except to be angry and anxious.

Originally, other anchors thought that Li Xiao would give herself a holiday during the Chinese New Year. After all, the live broadcasting time has been so long, and it is only natural to have a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

When they didn't find any trace of Li Xiao going online on the morning of the first and second day of the new year, they all celebrated with each other.

After all, they don't want a terrifying opponent like Li Xiao to share their profits in the new year, when they can eat casually and get fat.

However, what they least wanted to happen still happened. Li Xiao's sudden online made them startled and angry.

Moreover, the trend of rushing to the top 10 of the popularity list in half an hour is the autistic separation that everyone envies. You must know that being able to rush to the top 20 of the food list on a day like the second day of the new year means that the income is the least. , has broken [-].

Some anchors couldn't help but feel sad when they thought that Li Xiao's income for just half an hour of live broadcasting was his own income for the whole year.

However, when they were sad, they forgot about themselves. This year's income of 20 has properly entered the middle class.

After finishing all the black tiger prawns neatly, Li Xiao poured these black tiger prawns into a large bowl and then poured a lot of brandy.

In addition, he also poured a lot of minced garlic, sprinkled a small amount of salt, sugar, and black pepper, and stirred all the seasonings and the black tiger prawns that had been broken on both sides, and then put it in the refrigerator.

Li Xiao said:
"The reason why I split the two sides of the black tiger prawn is because the size of the black tiger prawn is too big. If it is a smaller size, you just need to gently cut a knife on the back of his prawn."

Studio

"Just now I thought this dish might be difficult, but after hearing what the host said, I understood that my worry was unnecessary, because I don't need to open the back of the shrimp at all."

"Cry to death, so there are so many steps because the shrimp is too big?"

"Whoa, I've never seen shrimp strings in the shrimp I eat."

"Old Versailles, my weak heart was hurt by the anchor, and I need the anchor's treasure chest to take care of it."

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched slightly and said the truth, why are everyone so big?
Seeing someone asking him to give away a treasure box, he quickly changed the topic, good guy, I just gave out a treasure box worth 50 yuan, and now I ask myself to give it out. Isn't this making me lose everything?

Whether he can get 50 for the live broadcast today is a problem, that is to say, today is the Chinese New Year, and it is just to make everyone happy after posting it. After all, he usually receives a lot of rewards.

However, if you randomly hand out treasure boxes, then these viewers will definitely let themselves give out treasure boxes in the future.
