Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 286

Speaking of Quanjude, many people would have guessed where Li Xiao was planning to go.

That is the legendary restaurant that you must go to when you come to Beijing, 【Quanjude】.

Quanjude was founded in 1864.

This restaurant, which is well-known in Dahan, was not a restaurant in its predecessor, but a dried fruit shop selling preserved fruits.

Due to poor management, the shrewd Yang Quanren seized this opportunity, took out his savings for many years, and sold this shop in the downtown area.

However, in the early stage of Quanjude's opening, the business has not been good. No matter how Yang Quanren manages, the business has always been tepid.

Then one day a wandering Taoist came to the store to beg for food, but Yang Quanren didn't chase him away, but entertained him with good wine and good food.

Because Yang Quanren felt that although the other party was sloppy, he always had the feeling of being an outsider.

Sure enough, after the wandering Taoist finished his meal, he really made a suggestion to the boss at the time.

Taoist You Fang first talked about the Feng Shui of the location of the shop:

"This is really a treasure land of geomantic omen! The two small alleys on both sides of the shop are like two sedan chair poles. When a building is built in the future, it will be like a big sedan chair with eight carriages. The future is limitless."

"However, this store was very unlucky in the past, and the bad luck is hard to get rid of. Unless its old name of 'Dejuquan' is reversed, and it is called "Quanjude", it can overcome its bad luck and embark on a smooth road."

Yang Quanren felt that this sloppy Taoist priest must be a real master of Taoism.

Without any hesitation, he directly made a new plaque according to his method.

Unexpectedly, from the day the plaque was hung, the business of the store, which was originally tepid, began to boom slowly.

Moreover, the business became more and more prosperous. Within a few years, the second and third floors of the shop where the shop assistants lived were also expanded into a restaurant.

Later, by coincidence, Yang Quanren met a royal chef of the palace.

The royal chef of the palace retired from the palace due to his advanced age.

Moreover, the family lived near Quanjude at that time, and Yang Quanren heard from others that the chef of the imperial dining room was very skilled in roast duck.

After Yang Quanren promised a [-]% profit, he finally convinced the other party and became the chef of Quanjude.

After Quanjude had this chef from the imperial dining room who is good at roast duck, the business that was already booming was even more rapid.

Slowly, it developed from a small shop to the largest roast duck restaurant in the capital.

Li Xiao walked out of the hotel with the things she needed, turned on her phone, and clicked on the APP of Kitten Live.

As soon as he opened a mandatory pop-up window in the APP, the information appeared in front of him. He was a little puzzled, but he had never seen any mandatory information displayed on Kitten Live.

But when he saw it clearly, he would understand why such a mandatory pop-up window appeared.

He actually reminded himself that the contract had changed from a C-level general contract to a B-level contract, that is, it had changed back to a [-]-[-] split.

In addition, Kitten Live also sincerely realized its mistake, and sincerely invited Li Xiao and the customer service staff to discuss the details of signing the A-level contract again.

After reading this pop-up message, Li Xiao frowned slightly.

Good guy, a platform as big as Kitten Live is actually so polite?

Speaking of a stabbing head like myself who refuses to submit, according to common sense, shouldn't it be an example to kill others?
After Li Xiao rejected Xuanwu's invitation before, he was always on tenterhooks, for fear that the kitten live broadcast platform would block him.

After all, I was broadcasting live on the other party's platform. As long as the other party blocked my online notifications and reduced my exposure, I am afraid that it would not take long for me to be completely blocked.

However, his worries never came true. The platform did not block him. Although the proportion of sharing was indeed reduced, none of the list that should be on the list was missing.

And today, an invitation to negotiate again, and a notice to transfer his contract back to B-level were sent.

Li Xiao finally wavered a little. The other party showed such sincerity, so could he really make some concessions?
However, the last two days have been really busy, so let's put this kind of thing aside and wait until I finish the star chef competition.

After closing the pop-up window, Li Xiao clicked the button to start the live broadcast.

The information he broadcast was sent to the background immediately, and viewers began to click to enter.

But in three or four minutes, the live broadcast room already has more than 4 fans.

He hurriedly greeted the audience gentlemen
"Hi everyone, I'm very glad to be able to broadcast live again for you big brothers and sisters."

The live broadcast room is also quite lively, after all, there are more than 20 real users.

"Hello anchor!"

"Why does the host wear so many clothes?"

"Huh? Why is there snow on the road where the anchor is?"

"Yeah, I remember Dongguan doesn't snow?"

"Please, don't you look at the location? Wangfujing Street in the capital, not Dongguan."

"Hey, sure enough, did the anchor go on a trip?"

"If I remember correctly, the anchor should have said before that he is going to the capital to take the qualification certificate of a star chef and complete the admission process for the national sports team."

"Wait, am I reading that right? The elder brother upstairs said that the anchor is an athlete of the national team?"

"You read that right, we have also seen the anchor's first-level athlete certificate."

"I am an active athlete of the national team, Hong Chengbin, and I can testify that the anchor really came over this morning to complete the process of joining the national team."

"!!! An anchor who eats and drinks every day is actually an athlete of the national team. Isn't this world too fantasy?"

"One thing to say, I have seen the anchor play table tennis, and the level is really good, much better than the table tennis champion in our community."

Since today is a working day, Li Xiao called the number early, chatting with the audience while queuing up, and it took just one hour for his turn.

The decoration of Quanjude is very retro, and a huge door archway is erected outside his store door.

The red pillar hugged by one person is very grand, and the archway above it is shining with the brilliance of glazed tiles under the light, which makes people dazzled.

The traditional Han Dynasty decoration never looks outdated, as long as it is used properly, it can always give people a sense of grandeur.

The guest was greeted by a young man in a traditional store costume, with a string of Beijing films on his mouth:

"Hey, Lord, are you a distinguished guest from No. 165? Are you one today? Please come in quickly!!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and yelled into the hall:
"VIP 165 is here! Welcome."

After the little brother's voice fell, there was a neat response in the hall:

"Welcome VIP No. 165!!"

Before entering the door, Li Xiao felt flattered.

Isn't this service attitude too good?

He had heard from quite a few bloggers before that the bad things about Quanjude were not only of poor quality, but also suspected of being bullied by the store owner.

The service attitude is very bad, especially for the relatively small number of guests, the other party is even more indifferent, quite a feeling of spending money to buy sin.

But looking at it today, the reality is not as bad as they said, at least the current service is much warmer than that of most restaurants.

Studio

"Wait, the anchor is really Quanjude?"

"Isn't the service great?"

"I was also taken aback. I went to Quanjude for tourism a few years ago. It was really bad."

"At first, I thought that I went to a counterfeit store by myself, and that's why I encountered a situation where the goods were not right. But after listening to the big brothers above, it seems that I am not the only one who feels wrong?"

"I am a native of the capital. Let me tell you something. Now Quanjude is much better than before. It was indeed worse a few years ago, but it has changed completely after changing the helm in the past two years. Highly recommended!"

"I went to the capital for a trip during the Chinese New Year this year, and I happened to have a meal at Quanjude, which really surprised me. The dishes are good, the service is good, and the environment is very comfortable, but the price is a little bit expensive, but After all, it is still acceptable in a tourist area.”

Under the leadership of the waitress, Li Xiao sat at a table for two. The location is quite good. In the middle of the second floor, you can overlook the scenery on the first floor and the scenery facing the street.

I don't know if the waitress is watching Li Xiao's live broadcast, so I specially picked a good place for him, so that I can promote it in the store by the way.

There are not many dishes here in Quanjude. Although there are stir-fried dishes, stir-fried dishes are not the protagonist here.

Now the duck has two specifications, one is the "Shengshi Peony Duck" with a unit price of 328, and the other is the "Wufu Linmen Duck" with a unit price of 688.

The introduction said that the latter kind of duck is the tribute duck that was used to be eaten by the emperor.

But the specific advantages were not made clear, it was all a mysterious introduction, but Li Xiao didn't mind too much.

Since it was rare to come here, he would give the audience some expensive food. After all, it wasn't too expensive. It was only 300 yuan, which he could still accept.

A set of 688 "Wufu Linmen Duck" includes duck rack soup, a salt and pepper duck rack, dipping sauce, small side dishes, lotus leaf cake, duck skin, and a salted duck liver.

Li Xiao ordered the meal neatly, and the waitress repeated softly:

"A set of "Five Blessings Duck" at 688 yuan, a boiled cabbage heart, and a fish-flavored shrimp ball, the total is 900 yuan, plus a 5.00% service charge, the total is 945 yuan, is it mobile payment or cash? "

Li Xiao took out her mobile phone and was about to pay when she heard the waitress add:

"In addition, we have new regulations here. As long as the anchor comes here to broadcast live, as long as the fan value exceeds 10, the service fee can be waived here, may I ask?"

???

Li Xiao frowned, is there such a good thing?
Unexpectedly low requirements? 10 fans can be easily achieved by many small anchors who have been live broadcasting for several months.

Is this condition too low by [-] million points?

But he quickly figured it out, they were using trivial concessions to stop the mouths of those anchors.

However, it can also be seen from the side. In Quanjude's view, anchors with less than 10 fans are not even counted as anchors.

He showed the live broadcast interface of his mobile phone to the young lady, without even flipping to the background interface of the host, the young lady looked away.

Because Li Xiaoguang has 26 online viewers in the live broadcast room, with such a large number of online viewers, the number of fans must be quite huge.

The smile on the face of the waitress was even more cordial. After all, the impact of a small anchor with 10,000+ fans and a big anchor with millions of fans is completely incomparable.

Scan the QR code to pay and continue to chat with the audience. After waiting for too long, the dishes began to come up one after another.

The first thing to come up is [Duck Soup].

"Hello, your duck rack soup, the soup is very hot, be careful not to get burned."

With the duck rack soup on the table, the reminder to check in came as scheduled.

【Fame: 40】

Yo, not bad, there are actually four stars.

Li Xiao is not surprised to be able to clock in. No matter how many bad reviews there are from the outside world, it is a time-honored brand that has gone through ups and downs for 150 years.

Every broken ship has three nails, not to mention a big ship that can stand for more than 100 years, no matter how many hands it has to take care of the house.

But to his surprise, this place can actually reach 4 stars.

You must know that the reputation of Quanjude in the past was really not good, but it seems that after changing the helm, it seems that there has indeed been a lot of improvement.

Taking a look at the milky white duck soup in front of him, Li Xiao fanned it lightly with his hand, and a strong duck fragrance came into his nostrils.

It has a light ginger flavor and a strong duck flavor. Perhaps it is true as they said in the introduction. The ducks here are selected from the previous tribute duck species.

Therefore, the quality is particularly high, and it does not have the fishy smell of duck that ordinary ducks often have.

Gently stirring with a spoon, there is no remnant of the duck rack in the soup, but a few slices of ginger, a few pieces of white radish that have become transparent, and a few thin slices of Jinhua ham.

Li Xiao was not in a hurry to taste it, because the soup was really hot. He introduced to the audience:
"The method of making duck rack soup is actually very simple. Put a few slices of ginger in the casserole, and put the roasted duck rack immediately after the ginger slices are fried."

"When the meat on the roast duck rack turns slightly yellow and has a scent, you can pour in an appropriate amount of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma."

"Put in slices of Jinhua ham and stir fry evenly before adding boiling water. Boiling water must be used here, otherwise the soup will not easily turn milky white."

"After the fire boils, you can put the white radish cut into pieces or slices, and turn off the fire when the white radish turns from white to translucent."

"At the end, just add pepper and a little salt powder. The amount of salt powder must be small, because Jinhua ham and roast duck racks need to be salty."

Finally, Li Xiao added:
"If you want to make broth and are afraid of missing it, then I strongly recommend this duck rack carrot soup, the probability of missing it is almost zero."

Studio

"It sounds so simple."

"It's the All You Can Do series again?"

"Brother upstairs, don't you just need hands?"

"I feel like I'm going to burn the duck rack. Maybe I'm the kind of person who doesn't have hands."

"Looking at this soup makes me want to eat, but I heard that milk is added to the white soup? Why is it not mentioned in the production method of the anchor?"

"Didn't the anchor say it? I didn't listen carefully!"

"Is that so? Then when will you add milk?"

"Please, the anchor said that the reason why the soup turned white was because when water was added, hot water was added and then a high fire was used."

"Boiling water, high fire, white soup, cold water, low fire, clear soup, this anchor has said it many times."

Seeing that the old viewers in the live broadcast room have acquired more and more knowledge, and even take the initiative to explain it to the new viewers, Li Xiao is very happy from the bottom of his heart.

After chatting with the audience for a while, he felt that the heat from the soup began to decrease, so he scooped up a small bowl of milky white duck soup.

Drink the soup first, and a spoonful of milky duck soup goes into your mouth.

A light peppery smell, the peppery smell is very light, probably the chef also knows that his own duck has a very light fishy smell, so he didn't put too much pepper to remove the fishy smell.

The duck taste is very strong. After all, most of the duck rack is boiled into a soup for three people, and the ingredients are really sufficient.

The soup is very sweet, the duck meat is very sweet, and the radish is also very sweet, and the two complement each other.

After taking a sip of the soup, his cold body quickly warmed up, and Li Xiao could even see a faint hot air exhaled from the tip of his nose.

After a few mouthfuls of soup, my body completely warmed up.

Although his current physical fitness is much better than before, as a native of the south, he really hasn't seen snow many times.

The rare few snowfalls were seen during college, but in recent years, the number of snowy days in Hangzhou has become less and less. Some people say that urbanization is too fast and carbon dioxide emissions are too much.

Others say that it is because of global warming that there are fewer snowy days.

Anyway, Li Xiao has been in college for four years, and he has seen snow not more than twenty times.

After all, the really cold winter is a holiday.

Moreover, even in places where it also snows, the temperature is different. The further north, the lower the temperature.

Anyway, Li Xiao didn't have many opportunities to feel the temperature below zero before, so the clothes he brought were not too thick. Once his body didn't exercise, he would feel cold all over.

But now it's better, after a few mouthfuls of duck soup, the whole person feels comfortable.

The whole body is warm and very comfortable.
