Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 275.
The others went to clean up the other meals that were still in the pot, while Li Xiao came to the yard to disassemble the whole roasted lamb.

The blade of the boning knife is inserted through the neck of the lamb and cuts the lamb in half along the sides of the spine.

Then relying on Pao Ding's skill of dismantling cattle, he dismembered the lambs on both sides into more than a dozen parts, and finally reassembled more than a dozen parts of mutton into a complete lamb.

Because Li Xiao's knife skills are very ingenious, if you don't look carefully, you may even think that this little lamb never existed.

Send a large tray of lamb back to the table, and the meal can be officially served.

Li Jianguo looked at the dull atmosphere at the dinner table, raised his wine glass and said with a smile:
"Okay, stop scolding the child with a stern face, just now Xiao Xiao said nothing happened, Zhiming and Zhiquan were just careless."

"Just pay attention to this kind of thing next time, it's no big deal."

However, Sun Yan said hypocritically:
"How can this be done? Xiaoxiao, what did these two little bastards damage to you? Erniang will pay you."

Of course, Sun Yanke never thought about losing money, but seeing Li Jianguo and Li Xiao both said that there is no need to pay.

That's why I dare to be bold and be polite.

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, he really wanted to say yes directly, then you can pay if you want, but he still endured it.

He took a deep breath to suppress his thoughts, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"It's okay, it's okay, it's only a few thousand yuan, it's a small matter, just pay more attention next time."

At first, Sun Yan wanted to subconsciously say a few words of politeness, but when she heard Li Xiao say that something broken would cost thousands of dollars to fix, she quickly shut her mouth and swallowed the politeness she was about to blurt out.

She was just being polite, but she didn't want to pay a whole month's salary to apologize to her son.

If Li Xiao, a stunned young man, took his politeness as real, it would be the end of his life.

Seeing that the scene fell into embarrassment again, the fourth aunt quickly raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, let's stop chatting, let's have a drink first, wish everyone a happy new year, and wish the elder brother's family move into such a nice house by the way."

The second uncle and the third uncle hurriedly echoed:
"Yes, from now on the eldest brother and sister-in-law will enjoy happiness with Xiaoxiao."

"Come on, let's have a drink together. By the way, I wish Yuqing a smooth college entrance examination this year and a good university entrance exam."

The wine table culture of the Han Dynasty is still very useful. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the table is finally not so rigid and dull, listening to the compliments of the second uncle and the third uncle.

Li Xiao felt depressed because the drone was damaged, and it seemed to have subsided a lot. It seemed worthwhile to exchange a few thousand yuan for such a large pile of good words.

Especially thinking of the cynicism and cynicism of the two families towards their parents in the past, now hearing these compliments makes me feel very refreshed.

After listening to a few sentences, Li Xiao also felt a little boring. After all, it was all those things over and over again, and it didn't have much meaning.

He turned his attention to a table of dishes he had made. It can be said that they are all delicious in color, flavor and taste. Although they are all simple home-cooked dishes, they are not ambiguous at all for entertaining guests.

Yu Qing turned the turntable and picked up a leg of lamb covered in spices.

Li Xiao hurriedly reminded:
"Remember to stick the dipping sauce next to it, otherwise the taste may not be enough. Although it has been marinated, the thickness of the mutton is very thick. If you don't add extra dipping sauce, the meat inside may not be salty enough."

Of course, there is another reason that the taste of unroasted spices and roasted spices is different.

Mixing two different flavors of spices will make the layering more intense, which can virtually enhance the taste of the dish.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Qing picked up a lamb chop with her chopsticks, put it back into her bowl after dipping it in the dipping sauce, and then grabbed the lamb chop with her hands.

After all, it is really not elegant to directly grab the dishes on the table with your hands, even if it is a family dinner, you will still pay attention.

It can be seen that the tutoring of the fourth aunt's family is quite strict, and even such things have been noticed.

As soon as the lamb chops were in the mouth, Yu Qing's eyes widened in an instant. The aroma was so delicious that the mouthful of spices washed away the taste buds on her tongue.

Then, as the teeth bit down, the scorched and tangy sheepskin baked by charcoal fire was like crispy potato chips, and it made a crisp sound with a bite.

Under the crispy lamb skin is soft and juicy lamb. Because of the protection of the outer crispy skin, all the lamb inside does not appear dry.

The mutton has no fishy smell, but is full of aroma of spices.

Because when marinating, Li Xiao also added a small half bottle of Moutai, so the strong aroma of wine can still be tasted from the meat.

Only then did Yu Qing understand why when she checked her cousin's information just now, many comments on the Internet said that her cousin's cooking skills are very good.

At first, he thought it was a review promotion that his cousin bought online. After all, many anchors, celebrities, and even public figures like to set themselves up.

For example, she loves her wife like life, likes to eat vegetarian food and never eats meat, and is a fitness expert. Yu Qing just thinks that her cousin is probably the same as these people, but he flaunts that he is very good at cooking.

In fact, in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, his cousin is a food live broadcaster. If he does not have enough cooking skills to speak out, his credibility will be greatly reduced.

But after he ate the dishes cooked by his cousin, he realized what it means to be very skilled in cooking.

Where is this high, this is too high!

There is no harm if there is no comparison. If you don’t have a meal at a high-end restaurant with an average per capita of more than 3000 at noon, Yu Qing still has no way to tell how high your cousin’s level is.

But since he had just finished eating, he was quite impressed, which made the comparison even more obvious. In his opinion, the chef at [Ke Ruyun] at noon today is of a lower level than his cousin.

Although he couldn't tell what was wrong as a high school student, he was able to eat his cousin's dishes, which were indeed a little better than the lunch dishes.

Not only Yu Qing thought so, but other people who moved their chopsticks also showed surprised expressions.

The fourth uncle also showed approval on his face:

"Xiao Xiao, your culinary skills are not simple! In my opinion, it is even better than [Ke Ruyun] at noon today."

The third uncle was a little bit unwilling to see that he was topped, but he quickly echoed:

"The black pepper beef ribs are really delicious, fragrant and tender, and the black pepper and beef taste are really good."

The second uncle also smiled and said:

"This Dong Xingban is also delicious. The meat is firm and has enough umami taste. You can tell that it has just been fished out of the sea not long ago. Xiaoxiao has a way to buy it in the city. Fresh wild Eastern Star Spot."

The other compliments Li Xiao deserved, but this compliment made him a little ashamed, although what the second uncle said was not much different from the facts.

But it's not that he has connections, it's really just a coincidence that he bought it, but the facts are too bizarre, and no one will believe him if he tells it, so he simply keeps silent.

Anyway, the bridal sedan chair was carrying people, and the only ones who knew the truth were his mother and himself. Neither he nor his mother could come out to argue, so he accepted the other party's compliment with peace of mind.

Li Xiao also took a few mouthfuls of food and found that it was indeed as they said.

The taste of the dishes is really good, and he also discovered that after gaining attribute points, not only his physical fitness has become stronger, but the taste of cooking seems to have improved a lot.

He didn't quite understand the relationship between this physical attribute and cooking, probably because his physical fitness had improved.

Therefore, the fingers are more flexible, resulting in sharper knife skills and more delicate and smooth operations.

Of course, physical attributes may also bring other changes to the body, but Li Xiao has not explored these areas yet.

It's just because I have been exercising and cooking a lot recently that I can clearly notice the rapid improvement of these two skills.

After dinner for two full hours, during which time Sun Yan mentioned the matter of helping to promote in a cryptic manner many times, but Li Xiao either tactfully refused, or simply pretended that she didn't understand and fooled it.

Now Li Xiao admires the thick skin of his second mother. If it were someone else, he would give up if he was rejected once or twice. Fortunately, he is as thick as a city wall.

Fortunately, although it took a long time to eat this meal, it was finally finished, and I accompanied my parents to send all three families away.

Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to his room. Looking at the seriously injured drone, he sighed. Fortunately, he now has money, otherwise the maintenance fee of several thousand yuan would be really painful for him in the past. of.

After sending a text message to Lao Tie, he was completely relieved to confirm that Li Xiao could be repaired.

After all, he doesn't know if such a delicate thing can be repaired after it is damaged, but he has heard that many luxury items are disposable.

Don't say it's broken, even if it's dirty, it will be thrown away directly, because they didn't consider the users who wear their products when designing, and they will take the products to wash.

Since it can be repaired, Li Xiao talked to Lao Tie and got the repair address over there. After the Chinese New Year, the courier buddies can go directly to SF when they go to work.

After repairing it, let him send it back to Dongguan. After all, he has already said that the repair time will not be very long, as long as a few parts are replaced.

Calculated in this way, the time is just right, I can just come back from the capital, get all the equipment, and then start to set off.

In the next few days, Li Xiao stayed with his parents at home every day, or took them out to visit relatives, or climbed mountains in nearby parks.

Of course, when I go out to exercise and have breakfast every morning, and when I cook at home, I will take the time to live broadcast. The live broadcast time is indeed much less than before the Chinese New Year, but after all, it can be regarded as clocking in on time every day.

Considering that it was during the Chinese New Year, the audience forgave Li Xiao's lazy behavior.

Li Xiao originally thought that this Chinese New Year would end in such an uneventful manner, and then he quietly went to the capital to take the star chef exam, and by the way, completed the application for joining the national team.

This day, Li Xiao went for a 30-minute long-distance run after getting up in the morning as usual to stretch his muscles and bones. After all, although his physical fitness has become stronger, he still needs to keep exercising to prevent his physical fitness from slipping.

Just as he was finishing his exercise and was about to run back along the road to find a breakfast shop to have a full meal, an exclamation came from a distance, followed by several barks and curses.

He frowned slightly, and immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Then I saw a little girl in a pink princess dress rushing towards the flowers, and behind the little girl was a gray teddy dog.

The little girl looked back from time to time, while the gray teddy followed closely.

Li Xiao immediately understood what happened, he quickly greeted the audience in the live broadcast room, and immediately rushed towards the opposite side of the grass.

The 10,000+ viewers didn't know why, but they got excited after seeing Li Xiao's actions. After all, they just got up early and had nothing to do, so they watched the anchor exercise. They didn't expect there to be a good show.

He deftly jumped out of the greenway of the sidewalk, and climbed up the wrought iron guardrail with both hands and feet, as fast as a monkey.

Although Li Xiao has not done similar special training on weekdays, his physical fitness is already much stronger than ordinary people.

Such a two-meter-high guardrail is no different to him on the flat ground, the only difference is that the flat ground can be walked directly, and such a guardrail needs to be climbed by hand.

Although the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't watch from the perspective of God, they could roughly feel Li Xiao's speed of movement just through the movement track of the portable camera on Li Xiao's head.

"I'll go, the speed of the anchor just now is so fast."

"The anchor climbed over the wall in the blink of an eye. Did the anchor have any other mysterious occupations before entering the industry?"

"I just said that the anchor runs fast, but you don't believe me, believe it now."

"The world was spinning just after I came in. Do you understand what happened to my brother?"

"It seemed that I heard someone yelling just now. I wonder if I heard it wrong?"

While everyone was discussing, Li Xiao had already displayed his full strength, and he didn't even hide anything. If someone uses a professional instrument to measure it now, he may find that his speed has broken the world record.

But he wasn't worried that the people in the live broadcast room would see something wrong, after all, it was the first-person perspective.

Even if the audience can see that he is running fast, they cannot be sure how fast he is walking.

On the contrary, saving people is the most important thing, he doesn't want to cause any accident because of his own clumsiness, then he is afraid that he will regret it to death.

Li Xiao jumped off the guardrail and ran a few steps forward. At this moment, everyone in the live broadcast room finally saw clearly what happened.

"I was so scared to death that I thought something big happened. It turned out that it was just a dog chasing a child to play?"

"I don't know, but I thought something happened. Isn't the host making too much fuss?"

"The one upstairs said it too lightly. You think it's okay to have such a big dog chasing a child?"

"Although the dog is not big, it is very big compared to the children's height."

"That's right, this dog can already reach a child's chest."

At the same time, the medium-sized gray teddy, which was chasing the little girl closely, seemed to feel that it was close enough to its prey. With a kick of its hind legs, it flew up and rushed towards the girl in the pink princess dress. little loli.

Li Xiao was a little anxious, now he was more than ten meters away from the little girl, it was impossible to stop her.

Suddenly, his eyes swept over, and he found a small stone the size of a thumb right next to his feet.

His right foot stepped forward in a flash of inspiration, and kicked the stone like lightning. The stone slid through a smooth parabola, and kicked accurately on the stomach of the gray teddy flying in mid-air.

The medium-sized Teddy, who was not much smaller than a child, let out a mournful wail, and then lost his balance in mid-air due to severe pain, and fell to the ground.

The little girl quickly took advantage of this opportunity to run towards Li Xiao, and Li Xiao quickly walked two steps to protect the little girl.

He quickly squatted down and checked the princess dress. He was relieved when he found that the little girl didn't have any wounds all over her body.

You must know that the side effects of rabies vaccine are very serious, but if you are bitten by a dog, especially like this kind of mad dog chasing people, if you are worried about side effects, you can't get vaccinated.

Now the little girl is not injured, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Seeing Li Xiao's successful rescue, the audience in the live broadcast cheered happily.

"The anchor is good, and I rewarded you with a car as an encouragement."

"The anchor has been doing good deeds early in the morning, it is really a model in the anchor world!"

"I used to watch the replay video of the anchor, and my blood boiled with excitement. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes this time."

"Look at all of you boasting like crazy, didn't you just beat a dog? Those who didn't know thought the anchor killed a tiger!"

"Hey, you can tell it's Heizi at first glance upstairs, please go and look through the replay video with the highest hit rate of the anchor, there is a video of the anchor fighting a shark on it, can you go and watch it quickly?"

"Isn't a shark better than a tiger? And the host is still fighting the other party in such an unfavorable place in the water. Isn't it better than killing a tiger?"

"Did you see that the host's kick was so handsome just now, such a small stone could hit the dog's stomach directly, and even narrowly avoided the little girl."

"It is recommended that the anchor stop doing live broadcasts and go directly to the national football team."

This sentence was like igniting a hornet's nest, and the audience unexpectedly became noisy.

"National football? Forget it, I don't know how many years I haven't seen it."

"That's right, it's better not to let the anchor into the fire pit of the national football team, and live broadcast with peace of mind."

"The two people upstairs definitely didn't watch this year's World Cup. The national football team in this year's World Cup is really strong. Now it has entered the top 12."

"Indeed, I played really well this year. It can be seen that the national football team is playing with all their heart, and they don't deal with the audience like before."

"So what can I do if I play hard, it's still too late to start, and there is still a lot of gap with other countries."

"Actually, it's just short of a few star players."

"With the anchor's footwork and such fast speed, it would be a waste not to be a striker."

"Yes, if there are several forwards like anchors, this World Cup will definitely be able to enter the semi-finals."

"With the strength of an anchor, it is still the top four? Wouldn't it be good to directly win the Hercules Cup?"

The audience discussed enthusiastically, as if the national football team had defeated all the powerful enemies one by one, and had already led the opponent by a large score in the final.

As long as the referee blows the whistle to end the game, they can find a good place to drink and celebrate together, and they will not go home until they are drunk.

It seems that he has completely forgotten what the anchor he is following has to face.
