Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 498 478

The following is not in a hurry to adjust the seasoning, but takes a half step back to introduce the audience to the specialties of hot pot seasoning.

"Generally speaking, hot pot dipping sauce materials are divided into four categories according to its external form."

"One is water-based dipping sauce, one is semi-solid dipping sauce, one is solid dipping sauce, and oily dipping sauce."

"Water-based dipping sauce: general soy sauce, low-salt soy sauce, sushi soy sauce, steamed fish soy sauce, vinegar, soup base."

"Semi-solid dipping sauce: sand tea sauce, sesame sauce, various chili sauces, Pixian bean paste, leek flower, fermented bean curd."

"Solid dipping sauce: fresh chopped green onion, minced garlic, coriander, fresh chili peppers, fresh chili rings, white sesame seeds, chili powder, pepper powder, sugar, salt, black pepper, white pepper."

"Oily dipping sauce: sesame oil, sesame oil, spicy sesame oil, chili oil, mustard oil."

"In addition to personal preference, these four sauces also need to be matched with different foods."

"Meat with a relatively low price has a heavy meat taste, more blood foam, and more fishy smell."

"In order to cover up the shortcomings of the meat, it needs to be served with a strong sauce."

"Water-based seasoning: soy sauce + sand tea sauce + minced garlic + chopped green onion"

"Semi-solid seasoning: sesame paste + leek flower + red fermented bean curd"

"Solid seasoning (dry dish): chilli powder + chopped green onion + minced garlic + salt"

"Oil seasoning: chopped green onion + minced garlic + sesame oil + salt"

"There is no fixed combination of these 4 dipping sauces, as long as you follow them, but you must remember that there are no more than three main flavors."

"This principle is the same as the clothes on the body, which cannot exceed three colors."

"Once there are too many dominant flavors, the overall taste of the dip can become muddled."

"And the amount of each seasoning should be more or less, there is a priority, otherwise the taste of the seasoning will appear to have no priority or sequence."

"Meat with a relatively high price will have richer and more even fat, a smoother taste, and a lower bloody smell."

"When it comes to more expensive meat, it's easier to make dipping sauces."

"According to the formula above, however, there are no more than two main flavors of the four different dipping sauces."

"And after adjusting the sauce, it is best to add a little soup base"

"Otherwise, a dipping sauce that is too strong will cover up the sweetness and original taste of the high-end meat itself."

"Let high-grade meat become low-grade meat."

"The price of 188 snowflake fat cattle is spent, but the taste and texture of 38 yuan ordinary fat cattle are eaten."

“Dips for vegetables are in a similar situation to dips for premium meats, but require more.”

"Vegetables all have a common feature, that is, they have no "special smell" and have an excellent taste."

"And it also has a very perfect sweetness, so in order to maximize this sweetness."

"It is best to choose one kind of sticky material, and try not to add oily or semi-solid sticky material."

"Otherwise, the unique fragrance of vegetables will not be able to come out."

"As for mushrooms, they are suitable for almost all dipping sauces."

"The dipping sauce requirements for seafood are the same as for high-end meat, but remember not to add too much solid sticky material."

Eloquently told the audience in the live broadcast room what he knew about hot pot dipping sauce.

Li Xiao was about to pick up the seasoning dish to make his own dipping sauce.

When I looked up, I found a huge seasoning table next to it.

A dozen guests who were preparing to prepare dipping sauces all looked at him.

???

Just when Li Xiao was in a daze.

An old man with gray hair suddenly clapped his hands.

"Okay, that's really good. The old man has been eating hot pot for almost 70 years. Every time he mixes the ingredients randomly, sometimes it tastes good, sometimes it doesn't taste good."

"After listening to my little brother's detailed explanation today, I realized where I made a mistake!"

With the old man taking the lead, several people beside him immediately applauded and praised.

Two young ladies in short white silk skirts suddenly came forward and said in surprise:
"Anchor? Why are you here? Didn't something happen to you just now?"

Unexpectedly, when he met his fans, Li Xiao quickly smiled:

"Hello, hello, nice to meet you."

It was rare to meet two beautiful fans, so Li Xiao briefly recounted what happened just now while adjusting the sauce.

The two Miss Baisi were very excited.

They can also be regarded as Li Xiao's loyal fans.

Almost every time he broadcasts live, he will watch it.

The place where I saw Li Xiao's live broadcast at home just now was actually Shuanghui District in Chengdu.

The two were overjoyed immediately, and agreed to go out together to meet their anchor.

However, the result disappointed her greatly.

When they arrived at the place, they found out that Li Xiao and the officers of the security department went to the security department to take notes.

They could only go back home resentfully.

Walking halfway, the stomachs of the two of them growled.

You can only come to a well-known local hot pot restaurant for Da Ya Ji.

They never expected that Li Xiao would still be in the mood to continue the live broadcast after entering the game.

So I didn't know that the anchor I followed every day actually chose the same hot pot restaurant as me.

One of the older Miss Baisi blushed.

"Anchor, can you take a photo with us?"

Hearing Miss Sister's request, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Good guy, it's so affectionate, shy and timid.

He also thought that the other party was going to make some excessive demands.

I was still struggling fiercely in my heart, how should I refuse the unreasonable demands of these two young ladies.

After all, in the live broadcast room, tens of thousands of people watched in full view.

It would be too hurtful to refuse in person.

Fortunately, it turned out that it was just a request for a group photo.

The regret in Li Xiao's eyes flashed away.

With a warm smile on his face:
"no problem!"

Seeing that the anchor I have been following all along is actually so close to the people in reality.

The two young ladies were immediately elated, feeling that they hadn't paid attention to the wrong person, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

The older Miss Baisi handed over her mobile phone to a waitress and asked for her help to take pictures.

The two walked to Li Xiao's side, one on the left and the other on the right, posing cutely.

Li Xiao also stretched out his camera and took a group photo of the three of them into the live broadcast room.

"Eggplant~~"

The smiles of the three were frozen in the photo.

Seeing fans entering the frame in the live broadcast room, many people immediately cried and howled:
"My God, Baisi!!! It's still sister Hua Baisi!!!"

"Baisi YYDS!"

"I'm stupid, why didn't I know to meet the anchor by chance?"

"Envy, you can meet the anchor when you go out for supper, what kind of luck is that?"

"┭┮﹏┭┮, I'm an old fan of the anchor, why isn't I the one in the photo?"

"Does anyone know the address of the hot pot restaurant? I'm also in Chengdu, and I want to treat the host to a hot pot meal!"

"Do you want to invite the anchor to eat hot pot, or do you want to eat the anchor?"
