Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 551 531. Potatoes, see potatoes again

Studio:
"It's so creative!"

"Such a big horse turned into a small latte art on the coffee, it's so cute!"

"I feel the strong contrast!"

"Seeing the intoxicated expression of the anchor drinking coffee, I am so sour!"

"I didn't know there was such a creative coffee in this museum before, so I must try it next time!"

······
After drinking coffee, Li Xiao came to the Cultural and Creative Museum, feeling that he was about to start to suffer from choice difficulties again.

"Then let's draw some viewers to give him some souvenirs of this museum trip just like last time."

After speaking to the audience, Li Xiao quickly bought a lot of everything.

Mini pottery miniature cultural relics, exquisite and small refrigerator magnets, stamps, tapes...

Before being dazzled by these cultural creations, Li Xiao looked at the time, frantically purchased gifts, and then quickly ended the trip to the museum.

"I will randomly pick these gifts from fans in the background, so this time the museum tour is almost over here, see you at supper!"

Walking out of the museum, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

Thinking about the promise he made with Jiujiu, Li Xiao drove to a nearby large supermarket.

When we got back to the hotel, it was almost seven o'clock.

Li Xiao ordered a meal order service, and took the ingredients he had bought out of the kitchen, ready to start cooking for Jiujiu.

"Master!" Jiujiu, who followed Li Xiao step by step after he came back, kept stretching out his claws, trying to take out the things he was carrying.

"These will be made for Jiujiu later, wait for the master to do it for you first, Jiujiu wait patiently, okay?" Li Xiao smiled and rubbed Jiujiu's head. Xiao immediately relieved a lot.

"Wow!" Jiujiu patted his stomach, "Then Jiujiu wants to drink grandma first!"

"No problem, Jiujiu is with me, don't run around." Li Xiao poured out some of the pot of milk that was just made today and put it in front of Jiujiu, and couldn't help rubbing it again.

After soaking the bought mussels in water, Li Xiao took out fresh salmon and chicken thighs, put them in the pot and started to steam them.

After 15 minutes, Li Xiao estimated that the meat in the pot was almost steamed, so he turned off the heat, removed the skin and thorns from the salmon meat, washed the mussels, and steamed them in the pot.

The steamed mussels were still hot. Li Xiao took out the shells without hesitation, mixed them with fish and chicken, and chopped them into small pieces with a knife.

Looking at the appearance, Li Xiao thought about it, and decided to put them into a meat grinder and grind them into pureed meat.

Finally, sprinkle a little salt, and a simple meat "rice" that can be eaten by panda cubs during the nursing period is ready.

After the meat came out of the pot, Jiujiu, who had been rubbing against Li Xiao's trousers, couldn't help it, and tugged at his trousers.

"Okay, Jiujiu has been waiting for a long time." Li Xiao, who was done, hugged Jiujiu who had been waiting eagerly, and heard the knock on the door.

It happened that Li Xiao's order service had arrived.

"Looks like we can have dinner together today."

After putting the food on the table and putting Jiujiu on the chair next to him, Li Xiao immediately felt indescribably satisfied.

Picking up a piece of pizza with one hand, and stroking the soft down on Jiujiu's head with the other, Li Xiao felt that her life was almost complete.

······
"Good evening, viewers, I am now near an open-air food truck 800 meters away from where I live."

"It should be called a dining car food stall."

Pointing to the camera at the small dining car not far behind him, and the dozen or so tables and chairs beside the dining car, Li Xiao had a surprised expression on his face.

"If I hadn't asked, I wouldn't have believed that so many tables were all customers of this small food truck."

"My radar tells me it's going to be a nice experience to come here for a late night snack."

Li Xiao walked towards the dining car while introducing.

Li Xiao, who was originally blowing a cool breeze at night, quickly felt the fiery warmth after approaching the dining car.

A very simple small food truck with semi-finished vermicelli, fried skewers and some potatoes.

Behind the dining car are two busy couples, who seem to be smiling a lot.

Above the dining car is a sign that reads "Old Liu Tudou Cart".

"Looks like potatoes are a specialty."

"Boss, do you guys specialize in potatoes? Do you have any recommendations?" Li Xiao could not help but take a few deep breaths as he smelled the strong aroma of roasted potatoes coming straight to his nostrils.

"Then try the potato box?" The proprietress raised her head and said to Li Xiao in Mandarin with a Henan accent.

Li Xiao nodded: "Then have a potato box."

Studio:
"Listen, listen, the business of our fellow villagers in Henan has reached Lanzhou!"

"Look at these steaming potatoes, they are plump and make people drool!"

"I heard a saying on the Internet before that no potato can leave Gansu alive. Is the anchor also called a member of the eradication of Tudou!"

"Shocked! A certain anchor went out late at night, and the reason was to hunt down Tudou!"

The discussion in the live broadcast room was in full swing. Li Xiao, who was standing next to the dining car, watched the boss handle his ingredients neatly.

The dough that had been woken up early was rolled into a round shape, and the proprietress on the other side quickly crushed the potatoes into mash, sprinkled seasonings on the dough, and the boss put it against each other, forming a plump triangular pancake it came out.

As soon as I put it in the oil pan that had been heated up earlier, the sound of "Zi Zi" suddenly started to sound.

"Why does it look so much like a...caijiao from Henan?"

"Boy, are you from Henan too?" Hearing Li Xiao's muttering, the proprietress replied with a smile, "This is Caijiao!"

"Good guy," Li Xiao couldn't help but marvel, "Lanzhou's famous potato box is actually from Henan? This is too surprising!"

"Young man, you don't know, the most popular thing here is to eat potatoes. It is said that the vegetable corners are not just shaped like them. We don't eat potato vegetable corners in Henan." The proprietress explained, "We Henan people come here and fry them. This box of potatoes can sell for a lot of money.”

Just as we were talking, the potato boxes that had been fried until golden on both sides and had a delicious flavor were ready to come out of the pan.

The old Bian Niang picked the biggest "vegetable corner" in it, and handed it to Li Xiao with a smile.

Holding a fresh and warm potato box, Li Xiao came to the seat and sat down. Li Xiao was full of anticipation.

"I've never seen pancakes filled with potatoes, and this is the first time I've seen them today."

"Holding it with my hand feels hard, but judging from the color, it doesn't look like it's burnt."

After biting down, Li Xiao immediately gave a thumbs up.

"The taste of the potatoes is very soft and glutinous. The warm potato crumbs are wrapped in a crispy dough. It tastes chewy and has a strong aroma of potatoes."

"Taste carefully, and you can feel the black pepper flavor from inside."

"Black pepper is a very common combination in mashed potatoes, in order to increase the taste of potatoes and make it less monotonous."

"Eating potatoes in Lanzhou, this potato box belongs to the unique dense and strong flavor of eating the original taste of potatoes."

"The saltiness is just right, neither too salty nor too bland."

"A delicious potato "vegetable corner" is quite filling as a late-night snack. It is recommended to eat it at the end."

"I would give it an 85."

In order to let the audience in the live broadcast room see better, Li Xiao put the potato box in front of the camera, and then broke it with his hand.

The cracking sound of "Kacha Kacha" was clearly heard from the potato box, combined with the golden color, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately screamed.

"The anchor is too hateful, it is not advisable to poison in the middle of the night!"

"Ahhh, is the slightly flowing golden yellow liquid in the mashed potatoes oil or something? It looks so delicious!"

"I actually saw Henan specialty snack corners on the streets of Lanzhou!"

"Lanzhou vegetable corner belongs to it!"

"When you hear this sound, it tastes very crispy! It's amazing!"

"My family is in Henan, and I have already ordered a few vegetable corners on the spot to satisfy my cravings. By the way, the store justly refused my request to wrap potato stuffing."

The barrage in the live broadcast room made Li Xiao a little funny, so he stopped and continued to eat the remaining half of the potato box.

There is no particular reason, but it feels hot and it is not easy to drink.

At this time, the voice of the system rose in Li Xiao's mind like an afterthought.

After eating the cooled potato box in two or three bites, Li Xiao looked at the menu, almost all of them were things he had eaten, and his stomach was already sixty percent full, so he didn't plan to order anything else.

Just as he was about to greet the audience in the live broadcast room and leave, two figures caught Li Xiao's attention.

An old woman who looked very old was putting one hand on a girl who looked like a college student, while pointing to an alley in the distance, as if she wanted the girl to take her there.

Something was wrong, so Li Xiao silently put away the selfie stand, and put the phone camera facing outwards into his pocket.

"You say I should go up now and see what's going on?"

"The sixth sense tells me that something bad may be happening ahead. I'm going to go and have a look. If there's nothing special, just think I'm worrying too much."

After saying this, Li Xiao looked straight at the barrage, asking the audience to give him a reference.

"It looks like an ordinary grandma and granddaughter. Did the anchor make a fuss?"

"I also feel like grandparents and grandchildren, why don't the anchors just ignore it?"

"It's better for the anchor to go up and have a look. If there is something really wrong, maybe he can save someone's life..."

"A roommate of mine disappeared inexplicably, and her family has gone crazy."

"Seeing what was said upstairs, I think it's better for the anchor to go and see."

"Go and see +1, this kind of suspected human trafficking is better than killing by mistake rather than letting it go."

"Go and see, it's okay if nothing happens, if something really happens, it's hard to imagine what that girl will face later..."

Li Xiao, who was still wandering, looked at the voices in the barrage, made up his mind, and followed the two quietly.

"Grandma, I'll just buy it for you right here. Anyway, the things in this store are not expensive, and it's nearby. It's inappropriate for you to go so far when you're so hungry."

"Old lady, it's not easy for me to come to this city, I just want to go to a restaurant next time..."

"But the food in this store is really delicious. I have been eating supper here since I was admitted to the university here, and it has been a year."

"I'm just a little worried that this store is not very hygienic. I want to try it in the restaurant. Don't worry, little girl, my nephew will pay you back when he arrives!"

"No, no, grandma, take me there. I'll order a dish for you and wait for your nephew to come over. Our school will be closed later."

"Okay, thank you, kind little girl!"

"You're welcome."

The two were talking, and the old woman took the girl's arm and walked to a side alley.

Li Xiao, who was standing next to him pretending to be playing with his mobile phone, listened to the conversation between the old and the young, and felt even more suspicious, so he raised his heels without hesitation.

Zhang Mo was led by the old woman's arm and walked straight forward, and when the number of people left became less and less, alarm bells rang in his heart.

"Grandma, it hurts a little when you hold my arm, can you let go?"

"My eyesight is not very good, wait until the store to put it."

As the old grandma spoke, she unabashedly increased her strength in the movements of her hands.

Zhang Mo, who only felt something was wrong at this time, was too late to regret it now. In a store with a small light behind the door, several tall and strong men were staring at her with unfriendly expressions.

"Wang Po, today's harvest is good. It's rare to see such a juicy girl!"

"This girl has been here many times, and I think she only did it when she didn't have many companions around."

The conversation of the few people in front of her finally made Zhang Mo couldn't help exclaiming. She tried her best to break free from the old woman's grip, but found that her arm strength was amazing and it was difficult to break free.

"You, what do you want to do!"

"That must be a good thing for you to enjoy!" The big man laughed and raised the stick in his hand, and was about to hit Zhang Mo's head with a sap, when he shouted angrily in his ear.

"I called the police!"

"Report, when the police arrive, you will have to go into the mountains!" The old man named Wang Po was full of insidious eyes, and laughed and mocked.

Looking up, he found that the two big men standing opposite him froze in place with panic all over their faces.
