Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 314

Seeing the shameless face of the anchor, everyone in the live broadcast room felt heartbroken.

"Is it okay for the anchor to have some backbone? You are an anchor with a daily income of tens of thousands of yuan, and you are still greedy for those few mouthfuls of soup. It is too embarrassing for our live broadcast room!!"

"The current appearance of the anchor is very similar to the appearance when I saw my naughty cousins ​​rejecting the red envelopes during the Chinese New Year."

"Is this soup really so delicious? It makes me really want to try it."

"No way, someone actually wants to eat in a restaurant that uses expired ingredients?"

"That is, it is outrageous that such a serious food accident occurred in a high-end restaurant with a per capita unit price close to 2000, and there are still people willing to go there."

"Didn't someone come out to apologize?"

"And it was the chef who came out to apologize, and both the anchor and the chef just now said that it is not spoiled but ready to spoil, please don't secretly change the concept."

"This attitude of apology is indeed acceptable, and everyone should not be critical, at least they dare to face up to their mistakes."

"The key is that he can't do it if he doesn't admit his mistakes. The anchor now has more than 40 fans in the live broadcast room. Who dares to confront the anchor without fear of being crushed to death?"

Li Xiao saw the discussion in the live broadcast room, and it was obvious that someone wanted to take his own pace, and immediately blocked several people in succession.

Then he opened his mouth and said:
"We have things to talk about, right things and wrong people. If it tastes good, it tastes good. If it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good. If it tastes strange, it tastes bad. If it tastes good, it tastes good."

"Soya beans do have a strange smell, but this chicken soup is really delicious, and we don't want to attack personally."

"Okay, now let me try how his cabbage is."

Li Xiao gently pushed aside the cabbage heart like a lotus flower with chopsticks.

The cabbage heart is not a whole, but was skillfully cut into 4 pieces by the chef.

It was just re-built together using the same principle as the mortise and tenon structure, and the lotus flower was re-dispersed into four pieces under Li Xiao's gentle fiddle.

Scoop up the cabbage with a golden spoon and stuff it into your mouth along with the chicken soup.

The taste of the cabbage was just as Li Xiao expected, just right, neither too hard nor too soft.

After all, cabbage is not a food that can be cooked for a long time. Once it is cooked for too long, the cabbage leaves will soften quickly.

The basis for judging whether the cabbage is too ripe is also very simple, just look at the transparency of the cabbage leaves.

The piece of cabbage in front of me was originally opaque, but after soaking in the chicken soup for a while, the color gradually became transparent.

From this simple change, it can be easily seen that the chef in the back kitchen has already mastered the cooking time of the boiled cabbage.

"The cabbage is also quite good and delicious. The cabbage is full of the juice of the chicken soup. The sweetness of the cabbage and the sweetness of the chicken soup, the two different flavors are intertwined. It's really amazing."

"If this boiled cabbage gives me a score of 90 or [-], I will recommend it!"

Next, Li Xiao enjoyed the dance while drinking the soup.

Soon the dance stopped, and the dancers floated away from the T stage of the performance.

The host quickly stood up again.

"Due to the cold and dry weather in the capital recently, the Imperial Dining Room has specially prepared a nourishing and beautifying dish for all distinguished guests, [Stewed Sea Cucumber with Fish Maw] and our carefully prepared dance [Hundred Flowers Blooming]."

Amidst the applause, young ladies wearing various dance skirts came out in a file. The original light yellow stage lights also turned into turquoise, and the whole runway instantly turned into a green grassland.

The ladies lifted their skirts and spun on the spot, and the speed of rotation became faster and faster until the girls turned their skirts into a circle.

Flowers of different colors bloomed instantly on the blue T stage.

Li Xiao also applauded lightly. This dance seemed simpler than the previous one.

After all, in the eyes of a layman, all you need to do is turn around in circles, just turn around on the stage mindlessly.

But this is not the case. Rapid rotation will quickly unbalance the balance of the brain. People who have not undergone special training may fall to the ground after turning a few times in place.

However, these young ladies on the runway have been spinning for more than half a minute, and the speed of spinning is quite fast.

Ordinary people, let alone go up and turn around in person, feel dazzled even if they are watching from the side.

During the pause of the dance, girls in red skirts brought up the second dish.

[Sea Cucumber Stewed with Fish Maw] A very traditional and common dish, it is easy to make but difficult to do well. It is a dish that is easy to understand but difficult to master.

In front of Li Xiao was a small bowl of stewed sea cucumber with fish maw. A sea cucumber was cut into 6 short sections.

However, Li Xiaocheng acquired a skill of proficient identification of seafood, so it is not easy to distinguish this piece of fish maw easily.

If he didn't guess wrong, this piece should be a piece of fish maw from Taishan Chizui, which ranks second among the four Chizui.

Due to the relatively large output, the price will be much lower than that of red chicken and red-billed carp glue.

However, the price of such a large 6-section sea cucumber will not be cheap.

He first ordered some abalone juice at the bottom of the plate with his chopsticks, and stuffed the chopsticks into his mouth.

The taste of the abalone juice is rich and delicious, and you can tell that it is not made of pre-adjusted abalone juice.

And this taste is quite good, rich enough.

Sea cucumbers and fish maws themselves do not have much flavor, so the quality of the abalone juice often determines the entirety of this dish.

Good enough abalone juice is the key but also the first step.

Li Xiao picked up another round and plump sea cucumber, and he lifted the sea cucumber in front of the camera:

"There are many types of sea cucumbers, and there are more than 30 kinds in total. Even the common sea cucumbers that are often eaten by people have more than 10 different types."

"The prices of different sea cucumbers vary. The cheap ones cost a few dollars, and the expensive ones cost hundreds or thousands of dollars."

"If the piece in my hand is not mistaken, it should be a flower thorn from Liaodong."

"The price of this kind of sea cucumber is around 50 to 100 yuan. Usually, the smaller the size, the more expensive the price. The more thorns on the body, the higher the price."

"The flowers on the sea cucumber in front of me are quite dense, and it is obviously the best among flower thorns. I will show you how delicious it is now."

With that said, the sea cucumber and the abalone juice were thrown into his mouth.

The size of the sea cucumber is just right, but if it is a female diner with a smaller mouth, it may take two bites to swallow it.

"Well, this sea cucumber stew is very fat and glutinous, and it feels like it's full of collagen when you bite into it. The QQ is bouncy, just like eating cold pork skin."

"To see if a sea cucumber is stewed well, it depends on whether it is tasty enough, but the meat must not be stewed when it is delicious."

"Once the meat of the sea cucumber is stewed, it will taste like a piece of rotten meat without the Q-bomb feeling."

"And the chef handled it very well. There is still no trace of fishy or peculiar smell, and there is no sand. The most basic problem is handled very well. Give them a thumbs up."

Swallowing the sea cucumber in his mouth, Li Xiao picked up another piece of swaying flower maw.

The size of the fish maw is much larger than that of the sea cucumber, but the fish maw is a thin piece, while the sea cucumber is a round one.

Therefore, the satisfaction of eating it is slightly inferior to that of flower maw.

However, compared to the mediocre sea cucumber, the flavor of the fish maw is much stronger.

And because the soaking process of the fish maw is done very well, the fish maw is soaked in a large size, and the more you eat it, the more delicious it feels when you chew it slowly.

Generally speaking, fish maw is slightly better than sea cucumber.

However, this stewed sea cucumber with fish maw is quite ordinary, not as amazing as boiled cabbage.

He licked the abalone juice left in his mouth and said to the audience in the live broadcast room:
"A well-regulated traditional dish uses very good ingredients. Whether it is sea cucumber or fish maw, they are both expensive and good things, but they have no special features and are made in a very ordinary way."

"The only bright spot is that the abalone juice is well boiled, with real ingredients and appropriate flavors."

"It's true that this dish cannot be given a high score, but the score will not be low, because it is not easy to make this dish as a must-have dish in the palace. Let me give it 80 points."

There were not many sea cucumbers, and the fish maw was not too big. Soon, Li Xiao ate everything on the plate.

in the live room.

"Is the anchor reincarnated as a starving ghost today? While talking and sitting in a normal way, he ate everything?"

"I suspect that the anchor received money from a company called Palace Banquet, so I think it's doing a good job."

"The host didn't say that he did a bad job. If 60 points is a pass, then the 80 points are also considered good?"

"Actually, I think this dish is definitely more delicious than what the anchor said, but the anchor focused his attention on the dancing girls, so he didn't care about whether the dish is delicious or not."

"The Emperor of Truth downstairs, so that's the case. No wonder the anchor doesn't know what to eat. It turns out that he went to see Miss Sister."

"I understand, I understand. Men understand it. They don't care about eating. Of course, they don't feel good about eating anything."

"I've made a reservation for the day after tomorrow. Is there any fellow Taoist who wants to taste the delicious food together?"

"One in 1888, you can book as soon as you say, you are really a local tyrant."

A hundred flowers bloomed, and the dancing stopped temporarily after the end, but the performance continued.

A few strong men with bare upper body slowly walked out of the stage holding torches, their naked upper body covered with strong muscles.

The muscles are also specially coated with a layer of olive oil to make the muscles look smooth and smooth.

The young ladies who were taking selfies in the hall immediately stopped taking selfies, and let out a low exclamation.

"So handsome, so strong."

"Wow, his pectoral muscles can still move."

"That's the real show."

Hearing the low exclamation and admiration coming from his ears, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched.

Good guy, this not only designed the dance for the big brothers, but also showed the young ladies the performance they wanted.
