Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 319 319. Review and Apology
Hearing this, Li Xiao also understood why their abalone was made in this way.

But after listening to his explanation, he shook his head noncommittally.

This reason is not good. It used to be the past, and now it is the present, so now there are elderly people who come here to eat, no, it is to eat.

However, more are young guys and young ladies.

Continue to follow the old tradition, and specially prolong the production time of abalone, so that its original unique brittleness and toughness become soft and waxy.

From Li Xiao's point of view, it's a bit too conservative and rigid.

He chewed quickly, crushed and swallowed all the soft and glutinous abalone.

He thought for a while, organized his words, and then expressed his inner feelings:

"If we only talk about the abalone juice here, I can say that it can almost get full marks. You can tell at a glance that it uses a secret formula handed down from the palace."

"I have taken everyone to eat a lot of abalone in abalone sauce. If you only talk about abalone sauce, the score here is the highest."

"But if abalone is added, then the score I can give is only 75 points."

In the back kitchen, when Li Xiao said that this was the best abalone juice he had ever eaten, Zhang Huiyuan was still full of pride.

You must know that the recipe of this abalone juice was handed down from his grandfather's grandfather, and it has been continuously improved and perfected by five generations.

Zhang Huiyuan even felt that the formula in his hands was far better than that of his ancestors who used to work in the imperial dining room.

So he is still very proud of Li Xiao's recognition. After all, he won the title of 5-star senior chef at a young age with this abalone juice.

Of course, the title of five-star chef must not only be due to Bao Zhi, but also the skills passed down from family and the understanding of dishes are also very important.

But when he heard the second half of Li Xiao's evaluation, his expression turned a little ugly.

His brows were also deeply frowned, and he even felt that he was too impulsive to invite an Internet celebrity to promote his competition, even as a guest judge?
Li Xiao's voice continued to be heard on the phone
"Although the signature here is palace cuisine, it is a new and innovative palace cuisine, rather than flaunting traditional palace cuisine."

"So actually I think the taste of the abalone here doesn't need to follow the tradition completely, you can have some ideas of your own."

"After all, in my opinion, if abalone doesn't have its unique chewiness and the characteristics of chewing and becoming more fragrant, eating abalone will lose most of the fun."

"However, in fact, abalone with such a soft and waxy taste is actually not useless. It is quite convenient for the elderly and children to eat, but it is indeed a little bit worse for me."

"Of course, another reason why I scored such a low score of 75 is that the abalone juice gave me such an amazing feeling."

"It gave me a huge sense of gap before and after, otherwise his score might be higher."

But Li Xiao soon found out that his bad review came a little too early, after he gave a bad review to the abalone in front of him.

While chatting with the audience, he mixed the rice with abalone and shark fin evenly.

When he stuffed the spoon wrapped with sliced ​​abalone, shark's fin in golden soup, and white rice into his mouth in one bite.

He immediately realized that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

Thank you for your monthly tickets, thank you very much
Plus, forget it, nothing else.
The soft and glutinous abalone slices are really not good when eaten alone, and they have lost the characteristics that abalone should have.

But after scooping up the abalone slices, shark fin and rice, the soft texture of the abalone slices brings a different experience.

Originally there was only light and sweet rice, wrapped in abalone juice and golden soup, the taste became extremely rich, and every bite of rice gave people the greatest sense of satisfaction.

The crisp golden shark's fin and the soft and waxy abalone slices form a strong contrast and impact, one bite is soft and the other is crisp.

One mouthful is the salty aroma of abalone juice, and the other mouthful is the sweet aroma of golden soup.

Li Xiao closed his eyes, enjoying the continuous burst of shock from his mouth.

When all the abalone and shark's fin were completely chewed and mixed with the rice, he really realized how wrong he was and how long his conclusion was.

He opened his eyes again and exhaled a long breath.

With a sincere expression on his face, he apologized to the audience in the live broadcast room:

"Sorry, I apologize for the public opinion I just made."

"This abalone slice is cooked just right. What I thought was a disadvantage suddenly turned into an advantage. I was too anxious to evaluate. I apologize for my recklessness and impulsiveness."

"I take back all the comments I made about the abalone just now."

Hearing Li Xiao's completely opposite comments in the live broadcast room, the pot exploded in an instant.

"Anchor, if you are kidnapped, blink your left eye, and we will call the police immediately to rescue you."

"The big brother upstairs and my hero see the same thing, why is there such a big contrast between before and after?"

"I also suspect that in our blind spot, there are seven or eight chefs with seven or eight knives aiming at the anchor's vitals."

"Oops, there is a sense of the picture, or I will call the police now, and my people from the Capital Security Department will call the police. It should be soon."

"Are you kidding? There are hundreds of guests and more than 100 staff members present. How could there be any coercion on the spot? Can you calm down?"

Fortunately, Li Xiao quickly explained the reason, otherwise, I am afraid that these talents in the live broadcast room may really make up a whole set of small crime movies.

Then there are really many people who may directly call the police, and then the fun will be great.

After all, among the more than 40 online viewers, as long as [-]/[-] of them have brain twitches and go to the police directly, at least dozens of people will go back to the police.

When these dozens of people reported the same incident to the police, the Security Department will definitely attach great importance to it. I am afraid that the palace banquet will be surrounded by armed forces.

Li Xiao estimated that if the matter really developed to that point, he would be able to directly make the headlines of tomorrow's news.

He watched the live broadcast room full of brain holes, all kinds of short stories, and various movie plots made him linger so much that he almost forgot the business.

He coughed lightly, and quickly explained to the people in the live broadcast room:

"Calm down, what are you talking about? How about seven or eight feet tall and eight feet wide man holding a gun?"

"Do you think this is a free country? This is where guns are banned in our Han country. This person is 8 feet tall and [-] feet wide. Can this person still be square?"

"Besides, there are so many people next to me. Do you think their hearts are made of diamonds? So strong?"

"I saw seven or eight strong men holding guns, but they were still calm, chatting and laughing about the food they ate? And they could take selfies?"

"No one coerced me, no knives, no guns, no clubs, no machine laser weapons, and no quantum weapons."

As he said that, he angrily turned the camera around himself to show his innocence, because even if he explained it, the audience in the live broadcast room all booed one after another, and they didn't believe it at all.

He did it again angrily, and went back to explain:
"The reason why I said that the abalone was not delicious just now is mainly because I picked it up and ate it without mixing it well."

"After all, the serving in front of me is abalone and shark's fin rice, not abalone in abalone sauce."

"So the correct way to eat it is to scoop everything together and then eat it."

"So it was wrong for me to eat it alone just now. The correct way to eat it should be to mix it together."

"The reason why I apologize is because the abalone becomes very delicious when picked up and eaten. The soft and glutinous texture is paired with the crisp shark's fin and soft rice."

"It's really delicious, and there is no coercion from anyone."

"In addition, I take back all the criticisms I said before, it was too reckless just now."

"Make comments before you finish eating. As a professional food anchor, you basically shouldn't do such a thing."

"I apologize for my remarks just now and take responsibility for the possible impact."

"In addition, if some viewers find that someone has intercepted my live video out of context and posted it online to discredit this [Gong Banquet], I hope everyone can help tell the truth, thank you."

Zhang Huiyuan, who saw this scene in the back kitchen, nodded in satisfaction. He had already thought of euphemistically notifying the other party that he could not participate in the weekend game.

After all, a person who cannot judge food fairly and completely does not deserve to participate in such a competition.

It all depends on my own preferences, and I made an evaluation before I fully understood all the food, and I still made the evaluation in front of tens of thousands of people.

Li Xiao's remarks just now, criticizing the abalone for being uncooked, actually had a great impact on the palace banquet.

After all, as a restaurant that advertises royal cuisine, if you can't even handle abalone, a necessary ingredient for royal cuisine.

Then fertility will be greatly affected, and it may even be more serious than the impact of soybeans getting ready to go bad.

After all, the soybeans were about to go bad and were not discovered. This was negligence at work.

If the abalone is not properly cooked, it means that the chef's skill level is too poor.

The two are completely a matter of two concepts, one is careless, the other is not good, and it is clear at a glance which is more serious.

But when he heard Li Xiao's sincere apology, he frowned and then slowly relaxed.

It doesn't matter if you make mistakes, as long as you know your mistakes and correct them, and you still have to admit your mistakes in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Not everyone has the courage to do so.

We must know that as a big anchor with millions of fans, he represents the truth.

Normally, even if he is wrong, it is impossible to admit his mistake. After all, whether it tastes good or not depends entirely on his own mouth.

Even if he finds out that it's really delicious later, as long as he doesn't admit it, no one will find out and pursue it.

But he just made his mistake so clear to everyone.

And admitting mistakes, this kind of person is really admirable.

After all, if it was him, he felt that it was impossible for him to achieve such a level.

This is the same as I must keep the same in the back kitchen. Even if the chef below tells me what I did wrong, he can't admit it in public.

After all, this would seriously damage his prestige and majesty. He could admit his mistakes in private, or correct them in private, but it was absolutely impossible to admit his mistakes in front of everyone in the back kitchen.

But this Li Xiao did what he could never do. Although he couldn't learn, it was really awe-inspiring.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing. If you really come to have a meal, you will know that I really didn't lie to you. So far, I haven't stepped on any thunder."

"The show is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the experience is quite good. So far, I still strongly recommend it."

"Although the unit price of this 1888 is a bit expensive, if you have the conditions, you can really try it."

"Of course, if I get slapped in the face in the next few dishes, I will take back my words immediately, everyone can rest assured."

in the live room.

"This anchor's routine of wanting to promote before suppressing, did he say that he received promotion fees from others?"

"First it was not delicious, and then it was super delicious. Isn't this copywriting?"

"It tastes good if it tastes good, but it doesn't taste good if it doesn't taste good. The same food, how can it taste good when eaten this way, but not taste good when eaten that way? Is this treating us like monkeys?"

"One from 1888, and I strongly recommend it? It's not what I paid for. I'm here to eat, not to dress up and watch dancing!"

Suddenly, a large number of sunspots appeared in the live broadcast room, which caught Li Xiao a little off guard, and Jiang Yingxue was a little unresponsive.

At first, she just thought it was the rebellious sentiment of the audience, but it was obvious that the entire comment room was not covered by these negative remarks all of a sudden.

She quickly blocked dozens of accounts that she knew were rhythmic at a glance, and immediately suppressed the momentum of negative remarks.

While Jiang Yingxue was banned, Li Xiao quickly explained:
"I know that this 1888 is indeed a bit expensive, but what I said is that if you have the conditions, you can really try it."

"After all, such a dining experience is really rare, and not every place can eat such high-end cuisine."

"In addition, I would like to reiterate that I have never accepted any promotion fees from anyone. Even if I want to promote, I will explain it to everyone openly."

"If everyone steps on the thunder in the store I promote, I will pay attention immediately."

"If the quality of the restaurant has deteriorated greatly, I will re-do a live broadcast again, so that everyone can avoid stepping on the thunder."

"Okay, that's the end of the explanation. I'll eat my abalone and shark's fin first, otherwise the shark's fin will turn fishy when it gets cold."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao ignored the remarks in the live broadcast room and continued to finish the rice in the bowl.

At the same time, the next dance came up immediately.

This time the dance was not suitable for children, so Li Xiao quickly adjusted the angle of the camera.

Good guy, suddenly there is an exotic belly dance?

And don't these young ladies wear too little clothes?
Of course, the shooting angle of the camera is not as wide as Li Xiao's field of vision, but it is the best position after all, and the scene on the stage is captured in an instant.

The audience immediately let out a wolf howl, but before the audience's blood surged, they found that the screen was twisted.

The lady in front of the camera disappeared immediately, and all the audience could see was Li Xiao's table and his thighs in ancient costumes.

Now the audience in the middle of the live broadcast will quit.

"Anchor, what are you doing? You actually turned the camera when you saw a key point?"

"Anchor, you are too much, I have rewarded you with several planes, and you are doing this to me?"

"Hurry up and turn the camera back, I'll reward you with a little rocket right away."

"Quick, quick, anchor, don't be so nervous, you have more than 40 fans and super tubes don't dare to seal your room, go back quickly."

"Jokes, super tube, that's what I like to watch the most."

"Don't be afraid, the anchor. Clothes that can dance in public will definitely pass the trial. Don't worry, turn back quickly. Everyone likes to watch dancing."

"The anchor, please be a little bit tricky, we are here to learn how to dance, not to watch you eat."

Seeing the enthusiastic comments in the live broadcast room, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth couldn't help twitching, good guy, all the big brothers who were originally diving suddenly popped up.

Those who said they wanted to give rewards actually meant it. The original rewards in twos and threes immediately occupied the screen.

In desperation, he could only move the camera nervously and slowly, because he was really afraid that superintendents would come to seal his room. After all, in his opinion, the young ladies on the stage were indeed a bit underdressed.
