Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 313

Li Xiao quickly reached out to help him up, and said politely:

"Chef Zhang is too polite. In fact, I just want to give you some feedback."

"After all, food safety is no small matter. I'm also worried that if you don't notice and there are food problems later, it will be terrible."

"Since you've figured out the problem, that's great."

Zhang Huiyuan looked at Li Xiao's outstretched hand, and instantly let go of the tension and worry in his heart.

At this time, he finally confirmed that the anchor with more than 400 million fans in front of him was not sent by a competitor to hack him.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to expose this matter so easily?

He would definitely hold on to it, but the other party didn't hold on to it, but directly recognized his attitude of admitting his mistake.

Zhang Huiyuan often breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, things did not develop in the worst direction.

He looked at the manager Chuancai who was gesturing towards him by the side of the stage, and he quickly said to Li Xiao:

"In this case, I will go back to the back kitchen to supervise their work, and by the way, let someone check the kitchen as soon as possible to see if there are any similar safety omissions."

As he spoke, he took out a white business card from his white chef uniform, and handed it to Li Xiao with both hands.

"This is my business card. I admire the keen taste buds of the guests. Recently, there will be a food review contest in the capital."

"I am one of the organizers and sincerely invites you to participate in the work of the judges."

"The competition will be on the weekend of this week. At that time, there will be dozens of chefs with three stars and above competing on the same stage. There will be many gourmets with silver spoons and gold spoons participating."

Li Xiao took the other party's business card with both hands, thought about it, nodded and said:

"If it's the weekend of this week, I have time to go there. If there is no accident, I should go."

He thought about it, and without thinking too much, he quickly decided that if nothing happened, he would pass.

After all, dozens of three-star and above chefs gathered together, and he had never seen such a grand occasion.

He was also very happy to hear that Li Xiao agreed to Zhang Huiyuan. After all, even though this is the case, the competition has been held many times, but most of them are for self-entertainment in the industry.

Even if they get a good ranking, it's just bragging in the industry, and no one outside knows about it.

His invitation this time is to promote the competition and let more people know about it.

Making the impact of the event even bigger will allow more star chefs and food critics to participate.

It is no longer just a small competition within the capital circle, but has the opportunity to become a national or even a worldwide competition.

The two exchanged again, and then returned the members to the back kitchen and sat down with Li Xiaoze again, waiting for the dinner to begin.

in the live room.

"Okay, okay, the anchor is getting more and more popular now, a five-star chef actually invites the anchor to be a judge, it's amazing."

"This is so cool! Isn't this the same as being able to eat dishes made by dozens of three-star chefs for free?"

"The anchor is getting bigger and stronger! Before, he could only go to ordinary restaurants to watch stores, but now he can be invited to be a judge?"

"Actually, the anchors are all in the capital, so why not take a test for a Silver Spoon food critic's certificate, the state has a subsidy of more than 3 yuan a year."

"Isn't it? A subsidy of 3 yuan a year without doing anything? I want to take the exam too."

"Those upstairs think too much, do you think Silver Spoon Gourmet is such an easy test?"

"If a 1-star senior chef is equal to a copper spoon, then a silver spoon is at least 4-star, and a gold spoon is at least 6-star. Do you think you can get a 4-star chef?"

"This"

Li Xiao also saw the audience's suggestion. With his current taste sensitivity, he thought he could still get a silver spoon gourmet.

Indeed, since he is already in the capital, this silver spoon can indeed be taken by the way.

Although the annual subsidy of 3 yuan is not much, it is better than nothing. After all, 3 yuan is enough to eat several meals here.

Shaking his head, temporarily putting all these things behind him, he refocused his attention on the dance on the stage.

At this time, the chimes were pushed onto the runway, and the background music around the hall gradually disappeared.

Brothers and sisters dressed in light blue quickly jumped onto the runway from both sides of the runway, and walked towards the chime bell closest to them.

The host in the middle of the stage picked up the microphone and introduced:
"Ancient large-scale percussion instruments, chime bells emerged in the Zhou Dynasty, flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period until the Qin Dynasty."

"It is made of bronze, and oblate bells of different sizes are arranged in the order of high and low tones, and are hung on a huge bell frame."

"The player uses a T-shaped wooden hammer and a long stick to strike the copper bell respectively, which can produce different tones, because the tones of each bell are different, and they can play beautiful music according to the sound score."

"Listen next, [Eternal Song]."

There was warm applause in the hall, and with the exaggeration of the previous dances, everyone's atmosphere became warmer.

Although the previous dances were all costume dances, they were not formal dances.

After all, it is a dance repertoire carefully choreographed by an associate professor of the university, so it is naturally impossible to be too bad.

Even Li Xiao, who is tone-deaf and never watches dancing, can't take his eyes off her.

Ahem, of course it's not because the young lady has a good figure, nor is it because the clothing design is quite beautiful, which is very seductive if it is faintly visible.

It's that those dances are quite excellent in terms of fluency, explosiveness, and visual senses.

Similarly, the following chime song [Eternal Song] is also very good.

Although Li Xiao could hear that, in order to make it easier for players to learn, the arranger only used three of the nine groups of chimes, and in these three groups, only five of them were used.

However, the arranger only used 15 chime bells to knock out a hesitant song "Eternal Song", which shows how strong the other party is.

In other words, it was absolutely impossible for Li Xiao to hear these tricks before, but after obtaining the skills rewarded by the system.

Not only can he easily hear the subtleties and flaws in this piece of music, even if he is asked to create an equally wonderful piece of music, it won't take too much time.

[Eternal Song] The duration is not very long. After 3 minutes, the bell began to stop slowly. One by one, the performers gently pressed their hands on the chime to stop the vibration of the chime.

The chimes were pushed back one by one, and the host continued to introduce:

"Okay, distinguished guests, today's opening performance is over for the time being, but don't walk away, the next wonderful performance will be presented to all distinguished guests along with the dishes."

"The first dish is a traditional palace banquet dish, boiled cabbage."

"Boiled cabbage is a famous Sichuan dish. It was originally created by famous Sichuan chef Huang Jinglin when he was in the Imperial Dining Room of the Qing Dynasty. Later, it was carried forward by Sichuan cuisine master Luo Guorong and became a boutique dish at state banquets."

"This dish sounds unpretentious, but it shows excellent soup making skills."

"As the saying goes, to see if a chef can make soup, it depends on whether he can cook a dish of boiled cabbage."

"Although this dish is called boiled cabbage, it is actually a high-quality clear soup."

"Old hen, old duck, ham, pork ribs, scallops and other ingredients are mixed into the boiling pot separately, add cooking wine, onion and garlic and other condiments to prepare for at least 4 hours, then chop the chicken breast until it is minced, pour fresh soup Stir it into a slurry and pour it into a pot to absorb impurities.”

"After repeated adsorption for two or three times, the slightly turbid chicken soup in the pot is now clear and clear like boiling water, with a rich and mellow aroma, not greasy or greasy, refreshing."

"Next, please enjoy the boiled cabbage carefully prepared by our chef, and enjoy the dance [Fu Rong Yu] at the same time."

After a burst of applause, the young lady in a red skirt came to the diners with trays.

There is a domed stainless steel cover on the top of the tray, and the lady's slender hands opened the stainless steel cover.

A budding lotus flower carved from cabbage appeared in Li Xiao's sight.

The young lady put away the stainless steel cover, and a small golden teapot appeared like magic in her right hand.

Hearing her slightly parting her lips, she said in a pleasant voice:
"The lotus flower emerges from mud but is not stained, and is clean but not demonic. May the honored guest be like this lotus, never be polluted by the turbidity of the world."

While speaking, clear chicken soup that was no different from boiling water flowed out of the small golden teapot.

If it weren't for Li Xiao's keen sense of smell to smell the smell of chicken soup in the middle, he would have thought it was real boiling water.

As the clear chicken soup poured in, the white lotus that was in bud slowly began to bloom.

And the scattered small petals next to it also slowly floated up as the water level rose.

Soon, the whole white lotus bloomed, and the chicken soup exuded a slight heat, setting off the whole boiled cabbage like a fairyland.

The young lady performed magic again, put away the golden teapot in her hand, bowed slightly to Li Xiao, and introduced:

"Under the lotus is clear chicken soup. Customers can choose to drink a bowl of chicken soup before tasting the cabbage in the chicken soup."

After speaking, the young lady turned and left.

As a person who loves soup like his life and does not drink without soup, Li Xiao of course chooses to drink soup first and then eat vegetables.

After all, the essence of this boiled cabbage dish is all in the clear broth.

Moreover, just by smelling the aroma of this chicken soup, he knew that this soup must be delicious.

The spoon gently pushed aside the colorful petals floating on it, and a spoonful of clear soup, which was no different from boiling water, entered the mouth.

Fresh, very fresh.

Li Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and it felt like all the pores on his body were instantly opened.

The seemingly clear soup tastes rich and delicious. Pork tenderloin, old hen, old duck, ham, ribs, and scallops are all extremely delicious.

Mixed together and stewed, the umami taste in 4 hours is completely integrated together.

And because the soup has been cleaned three times with minced chicken, minced duck, and minced pork, not only the fat and impurities are completely taken away, but also more umami taste is brought to the clear soup.

Sweeping the soup three times brings not only the clarity of the soup, but also makes the whole bowl of soup lubricated.

The taste of the whole bowl of soup became so integrated that even Li Xiao, who has a strong sense of taste, couldn't distinguish the flavors of chicken, duck, pork, toast, and ham from it.

Some are just [fresh]!
He drank several more sips in a row, and he didn't stop until the water level in the soup bowl was about to drop.

He gave a thumbs up to the audience in the live broadcast room. In fact, he didn't need to give a thumbs up. The audience knew that this dish was quite good.

After all, audiences who are familiar with him know that once their own anchor encounters delicious dishes, he will forget to explain and focus all his attention on the food.

"It's delicious. I can give this soup 95 points, of which 5 points are emotional points. After all, it's a fact that I have a preference for soup."

"As for why 5 points were deducted, one is because he wanted to give him some room for improvement, and the other is that the soup is too little, and it's gone after just a few sips. It's not satisfying at all."

Watching the audience in the live broadcast room, they complained that they were too greedy and wanted to eat two things for the price of one.

Just as Li Xiao wanted to interact with the audience, he felt his eyes dimmed, as if someone appeared in front of him.

He was a little puzzled, did he serve the second dish so soon?

The serving speed and rhythm seem a little too fast, right?
Serve the second dish before you start eating?Is it so unprofessional here?
Then when he looked up, he found that standing in front of him was a young lady in a red skirt.

The other party was holding a small golden teapot. Before Li Xiao could speak, the young lady asked softly:

"Excuse me, does this guest need some chicken soup?"

!!!

Li Xiao
!!!

live audience
Li Xiao was startled, but quickly realized it.

It should be that after the fried soybeans went wrong just now, the other party specially asked someone to enter their live broadcast room to watch their live broadcast.

As soon as I heard myself say that there was too little chicken soup with boiled cabbage, I immediately ordered someone to come over and add soup to me.

this service.
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched. He was taken aback by the enthusiasm and concern of the other party. He wanted to refuse, but the chicken soup was really delicious.

He blushed slightly, nodded and said:

"Then add a little, and you don't need to add too much, just a little. Well, I'm not greedy, but your soup is really good."

Thank you for the reward, and thank you for the large number of monthly tickets.
