Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 739
Li Xiao took another bite. When chewing with his teeth, the fresh aroma of the shrimp meat became more and more mellow. A large amount of juice poured into his mouth, and a strange taste rushed in directly.

This smell is very strange, very fresh at first, then sweet, and then there is a kind of elegant fragrance, very delicious.

Li Xiao shrank his pupils, looked up at the chef, and said quickly, "You mixed a kind of sauce into the shrimp meat. This kind of sauce is not used to enhance the flavor, but to enhance the freshness."

"Well, a mixed sauce is used. It should be brine boiled with spices. After soaking the shrimp meat, it is then chilled with ice with mint to lock the moisture of the shrimp meat itself. Then lock the taste of the previous brine, so that the shrimp can have this taste, I am right."

Hearing this, the chef couldn't help but slow down the shovel in his hand, looked at Li Xiao in shock, and said slowly, "Yes, young man, you were a chef before, right?"

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not a chef, I'm just a simple eater. I like to eat some delicious food on weekdays, and I just have a little research on food."

"You're too modest. This isn't a little bit of research. You can tell what it tastes like when you taste it. It's much better than our boss. I thought my boss was like this, but I didn't expect you to ask for more. Great." The chef praised him endlessly.

"I've seen a lot of people who came here to taste the food, and they all tasted one of the flavors, and they couldn't taste the rest at all."

Wang Tiantian on the side heard the words, and was also very interested in the tiger prawns on his plate, so she directly forked one and tasted it. It tasted really delicious, but she didn't know anything about the taste that Li Xiao said, and she couldn't even say it. Can't tell why.

"Li Xiao, how do you get these flavors? I don't know anything about them. I'm confused." Wang Tiantian was very curious about Li Xiao at first.

After working as his assistant for so many days, Wang Tiantian thought that she had a certain understanding of Li Xiao, but after this time, she felt that Li Xiao was a bit more powerful.

This taste is comparable to that of a national chef.

Li Xiaoyan smiled and continued to taste the tiger prawns on the plate. It didn't take long for the chef to fry the second dish.

This dish is on Wang Tiantian's menu, and it's a simple dish of grilled eel with scallions.

The surface of the eel is browned, and the smell of seafood is very strong, and then it is served with a layer of thick juice, which looks very good with rice.

There were two pieces of fried eel with green onions, and one piece was directly given to Li Xiao.

When the latter was forked up as usual, a faint fragrance came to the nostrils. The eel was not marinated with special things, but simply added some base flavor, and then cooked with green onion water.

The thick juice on the surface of the eel is the green onion water with water powder added. This is the first time Li Xiao has seen this method.

When the water friends in the live broadcast room saw that the second dish was served, they sent out barrages one after another.

"Anchor, I heard from the chef that this dish is eel with scallions. Why is there no onion in this eel with scallions? Could it be that there are no onions? Then why is it called eel with scallions?"

"That's right, it's the first time I've seen fried eel with scallions without scallions. Isn't this the same as fish-flavored shredded pork without fish?"

Li Xiao glanced at the live broadcast room, and was amused by the barrage posted by the water friend. He quickly put the fried eel with green onion under the camera and explained.

"Everyone, take a look. This scallion-flavored eel actually has scallions in it, but it's the same as the fish-flavored shredded pork you mentioned, but it has the smell of scallions, but the scallions are on top of the thick sauce."

"The sauce on the top is very particular. It uses green onion water. Add some water powder and some seasonings to it to make it like this. Then fry the eel until both sides are golden. When the heat is up, put the green onion Pour water on it, and the fried eel with scallions is ready."

As he said that, Li Xiao took a bite in public. The fish was very soft and rotten. You can see the texture of the fish with a light bite. It is very sweet. It looks like fresh eel.

This teppanyaki restaurant gained a lot of points in Li Xiao's heart.

For stores that use fresh ingredients, Li Xiao can get a lot of points. After all, before opening a store, you must be a human being. This is an eternal truth.

After tasting it carefully, Li Xiao continued to talk to everyone.

"The meat of this scallion-flavored eel is very fresh and sweet. The eels should be fresh out of the sea. There is nothing to say about the meat quality, and the whole process of transportation is chilled, so the meat has not aged, and it has always maintained its freshness in the sea. In terms of ingredients, this store did not disappoint me."

"If you want to eat fresh ingredients, come to Liji Teppanyaki. The ingredients here will make you feel at ease."

Hearing this, the chef at the side couldn't help but said, "Are you advertising our store? Let me tell you, our boss is very picky and never invites internet celebrities to advertise."

"Oh? Why is that?" Li Xiao was a little bored while waiting for the dishes, so he couldn't help chatting with the chef.

This is also a feature of teppanyaki. The chef is right in front of you, and all the ingredients are fresh. You can watch the chef make it face to face, and you can eat it with confidence.

When you are bored, you can chat with the chef to pass the time, which is also a feature of Teppanyaki.

The chef flipped the shovel in his hand quickly, and said while flipping: "Because our boss said that this store doesn't need any internet celebrities to open it."

"Our store was very prosperous before. Internet celebrities from all over the country came to check in. Our store suddenly became an Internet celebrity shop. Of course, there are many eating and broadcasting shops like you."

"The purpose of their coming here is to explore the store for their fans and increase the traffic of the store, and then some food and broadcast Internet celebrities will hype the characteristics of our store. In fact, they can't taste the taste of our cuisine at all."

"Some of their fans believed his words, so they came to eat one after another. Seeing that there were more and more people, they wanted to ask the boss for advertising endorsement fees, saying that they brought the traffic here."

"Our boss naturally refused to agree when he heard this, and directly rejected these Internet celebrities, and then the Internet celebrities who did not get any benefits from the store became angry one by one, and began to discredit our store, saying that the things in our store were very difficult. Eat, the previous publicity was all to cater to the boss."

"So your store has been discredited?" Li Xiao couldn't help being a little surprised.

The chef nodded and said with a wry smile: "Our store has always been very conscientious. The boss used to open restaurants and made some money. Then he felt that the back kitchen of some restaurants was dark, so he turned the back kitchen to the countertop. Chose the teppanyaki."

"The sauces I used to cook the dishes just now were all secretly made by the boss himself. We don't have the ability to make them."

Hearing this, Li Xiao couldn't help admiring the boss, who was what he called a "conscientious person".

Such a person is dedicated to serving the people, and makes dishes that the people can eat with confidence, so the ingredients of each dish are very fresh, they are all cooked and sold, and they can watch from the front, so they are not afraid of the chef's tampering .

The water friends in the live broadcast room heard what the chef said, and they were all very angry.

"My God, such a conscientious boss will still be smeared by others. Those food broadcasters will really discredit the food broadcasting industry. It's really shameful."

"Hey, our anchor is kind and kind. Basically, we help the store to promote for free. We don't need any endorsement fees at all. We rarely even ask for discounts from the boss. In this world, there are not many conscientious people."

"People's hearts are not ancient. Such a good restaurant must not be lonely in our Guizhou. No, I will come to eat tomorrow. I am from Bijie. I am at home now."

The water friends in the live broadcast room fought for the boss one by one, and began to mobilize their relatives and friends to check in. Such a good restaurant must not be let down.

Li Xiao asked, "Is your boss a local?"

The chef said: "No, our boss's wife is from Guizhou, and it is because of his wife that we opened the shop here. It's just that in this world, it's just as long as we can be safe."

Li Xiao was very upset when he heard that. Behind every online celebrity shop, there is a sad history. Once the shop becomes popular, some scheming people will take advantage of it, and even the usual stability cannot be achieved. .

A store like this shouldn't be like this.

After chatting for a while, Li Xiao got a good impression of the owner of this store. If such a boss doesn't get rich, who will get rich?

After a while, the chef had already prepared the third dish, which was a plate of braised tofu.

Looking at the braised tofu wrapped in red oil on the plate, I immediately felt like a bowl of rice. When I smelled it, a strong aroma of soy sauce came to my nostrils.

There is also a little bit of chili noodles on it, which is full of a little bit of spiciness, which instantly triggers people's taste buds.

"It smells so good!" Wang Tiantian said.

Li Xiao divided the tofu into two portions, gave one to Wang Tiantian, and then tasted it himself.

This braised tofu has a very strong sauce flavor, and the juice on it has a thick soy sauce flavor. In addition, there are some seasonings. The red oil on the top is not chili oil, but soaked with red yeast rice. The rice water that came was mixed with soy sauce.

When eating, there is a faint rice smell, which can greatly enhance the taste of tofu itself.

delicious!
Li Xiao ate a spoonful of it. It was simple and salty, and the only focus was on the juice.

"Brothers, this third dish, braised iron plate tofu, tastes very good, with a strong sauce flavor, but this dish is eaten with a sauce flavor, so the soy sauce itself is very heavy."

"Generally, if you put too much soy sauce, this tofu will taste very greasy, which is essential for every dish, but this tofu will not taste good."

"Because the boss added a little red yeast rice soaked water to the juice, which can neutralize the taste of soy sauce well and at the same time increase the freshness. The rush of rice."

"Red yeast rice? Isn't the red thing on it chili oil?" Wang Tiantian said with a surprised face.

When she first ate it, it tasted a little spicy, and she thought the red layer of oil was the bean paste in Sichuan cuisine, but Li Xiaoyi said that this dish has nothing to do with chili, so she was completely confused.

She has heard of red yeast rice, which can be used as sugar for coloring, most of which are used in brine, and this is the first time she has heard of it being poured on tofu as a sauce.

Li Xiao smiled and explained patiently: "This red yeast rice itself is a kind of rice. The soaked rice water is red in color, so it can be used for coloring."

"This red yeast rice is mostly used as sugar color because of its own color, but don't forget that red yeast rice itself has a unique aroma."

"It's like fermented rice wine. It has a light rice fragrance. This taste can well neutralize the salt and umami in the soy sauce, making the sauce less greasy."

"For example, red yeast rice is often used in the home-cooked moldy tofu. While coloring, it still increases the fragrance of the tofu. I think the boss's inspiration comes from this."

The chef who was preparing the next dish was a little numb, and looked at Li Xiao with a shocked face, a little shocked and speechless.

"Young man, why do you have to explain every dish? If you tell all the boss's secret recipes, how will the boss still do business? These are all the boss's secret recipes."

The chef felt that this was not going to work, so he quickly called the waiter, whispered a few words in his ear, and then ran away in a hurry.

After a while, the waiter was followed by a head dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a thick gold chain around his neck, and his neck was thick and thick.

Thick neck, either the boss or the cook, the boss was a cook before he saw it.

The boss walked up to Li Xiao, looked him up and down, glanced at his phone, and said in a deep voice, "Are you a foodie?"

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"I heard from my chef that you ate all the secret recipes I carefully made? Then you told the people in the live broadcast room? You will cause me trouble." The boss's face couldn't help but pull down.

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback. It turned out that the boss was worried that he would leak his formula, which would affect his business.

He quickly explained: "I didn't leak your formula, I just explained it to my fans individually, I hope you don't misunderstand."

The boss's face was still down, and he said: "You can live broadcast in my store, but there are some things that you can't talk about, after all"

Speaking of this, the boss seemed to realize something, looked at Li Xiao in shock, and said, "You ate all my secret recipes? How is this possible? These secret recipes are all improved by me, and it took me a lot of care , how could you eat them all?"

Li Xiao smiled and said: "You have improved very successfully, and some of the secret recipes are delicious. This is indeed a good shop, and I have to admire you."
