Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 81

Take a deep breath, and drink up the slightly cold Longjing tea in one gulp
I adjusted my mentality and lowered my expectations a little bit.

like a blind date,
Boys don't always expect to meet someone with big breasts, long legs, fair skin, gentle, considerate, and sensible.

Girls also don't think that the other party has a good life, a good waist, a good job, is tall, handsome, and loves others.

Because anyone who has these advantages has long been snatched away by the crazy bees and butterflies around him, and the rest is either Aquaman or a scumbag. Do you still need a blind date?

Therefore, I can't set the requirements too high just because there is a five-star praise.

After refilling a glass of Longjing for myself, chatting with the water friends, the fourth dish is served.

【Yellow Fish Rice Cake】

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched unconsciously, and it was white again. It was an oval-shaped plate with a large yellow croaker cut horizontally in the middle, surrounded by 7 thumb-sized rice cakes.

"I just took everyone to eat small yellow croaker this morning. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, at noon, I actually ate big yellow croaker."

Seeing the big yellow croaker appearing in front of the camera, the audience almost
"Wait, what did I see? Seven stars accompanying the moon?"

"The talent upstairs, but it does look like it, seven rice cakes and one piece of fish!"

"Is this the legendary side dish, lotus, wok, meal, and guest?"

"It makes sense!!"

"What are you thinking? This is a large yellow croaker. I saw the menu just now. It's still a wild large yellow croaker."

"Isn't this wild or not a fish?"

"That's not right. Wild croakers are much more expensive than farmed ones. Farmed 8-two large yellow croakers cost 28 yuan, while wild 8-two croakers cost 800 yuan."

"800 yuan? 8 taels for a piece? In other words, 1 tael is 100 yuan?"

"My God, I remember correctly that this [yellow croaker rice cake] is 258 yuan? Doesn't that seem expensive?"

"It's not that they are too expensive, it's just that we are too poor."

"Suddenly piercing the heart upstairs is outrageous. Why is it so urgent because of the same roots?"

Since it is a single serving, there is only one piece of this large yellow croaker.

So Li Xiao put the chopsticks in his right hand and the spoon in his left, and put a piece of rice cake with thick juice into the bowl, leaving the good stuff to eat later. ate.

The rice cake that has been simmered for a long time has become very soft and glutinous. It can be broken with chopsticks, stained with yellow croaker juice, and stuffed into the mouth.

Delicate, soft and waxy, slightly chewy, but there will be no constant bite.

Because the rice cakes and yellow croakers are stewed together, even the rice cakes are full of the taste of yellow croakers.

The unique sweetness of yellow croaker is completely absorbed by the rice cake.

Rice cake, shark's fin bird's nest, which has a special taste but no taste, the final taste depends entirely on the soup.

"This rice cake is quite standard, it's neither hard nor sticky, it's glutinous and soft, very delicious.

If I'm not wrong, this should be a unique type of rice cake in Sakura Country. After all, they have a sous chef here, who is from Sakura Country. "

Some people in the live broadcast room don't believe it
"The anchor came here just by opening his mouth. Don't we also have rice cakes in Han Dynasty?"

"Is this anchor's mind okay? Why do I remember that Sakura Country is our vassal country?"

"Hey, hey, what's the matter, Sakura Country also has rice cakes, and we passed them on."

"That's right, the rice cakes in Sakura Country are really good. I ate them once when I was traveling."

"Although we are ancestors, the development of each place is different!!"

"Be rational, maybe it's just that the anchor just likes this taste?"

Li Xiao didn't expect that his casual sentence almost caused a scolding battle. Fortunately, there were enough fans of him in the live broadcast room, so he quickly explained

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I mean, this famous Jiangsu and Zhejiang dish is actually very well done. However, according to the traditional method, his rice cake will be very sticky and hard to bite."

"What I mean is that it's a good change to change to the relatively soft and easy-to-eat rice cakes like Sakura Country, and it doesn't mean what you think."

Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the live broadcast room quickly returned to calm. He kept moving his hands, and picked up the large yellow croaker worth at least 200 yuan with the chopsticks and spoon.

He didn't rush to speak, after all, this is a piece of fish worth 200, he said to the water friend

"The reason why wild large yellow croakers are so expensive is that they have been fished in large quantities in modern times, so wild large yellow croaker populations are rapidly becoming extinct."

"However, our country later released a large number of large yellow croakers in the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and some coastal areas of Sakura Country, so that these large yellow croakers, which were still Class 3 protected fish a few years ago, can be re-entered into the diet."

"Scarcity is of course only one of the reasons why wild large yellow croakers are expensive."

"In addition, according to research, this wild large yellow croaker can eliminate free radicals produced by human metabolism, delay aging, and prevent and treat various cancers."

"It can also invigorate the spleen and appetizer, soothe the nerves and stop dysentery, replenish qi and replenish essence, and has a good curative effect on anemia, insomnia, dizziness, loss of appetite and postpartum physical weakness in women."

"For the weak and middle-aged and elderly people, eating large yellow croaker will have a good therapeutic effect."

"That's why wild large yellow croakers can often be seen on the tables of many rich people, and this wild large yellow croaker grows very slowly, so the bigger the bigger the more valuable it is.

The weight of such a small size is less than one catty, and the price is not too high.

But it is said that if it exceeds one catty, it will cost 1500 per catty, and if it exceeds 2 catties, it will cost 5000 per catty. "

After explaining, Li Xiao didn't continue to watch the barrage.

After all, the bowl in my hand is not like the big white plate with alcohol heating under it. If it gets cold and becomes fishy, ​​wouldn't this piece of fish worth two hundred be wasted?

fresh!fresh!fresh!
When the fish is in the mouth, the outer skin will be more resilient because it is fried before stewing. Even if it is stewed for a long time, it will not be rotten, and it has a slightly burnt aroma.

The fish is very tender, and the heat and time are just right.

The fish was firm and not loose at all, not far off if not fresh from the fridge.

He just acquired [Ability: Seafood Selection Proficiency] in the morning, not to mention eating it, he can tell whether a fish is fresh just by looking at it, and freshness is the main selling point of this famous Jiangsu and Zhejiang dish.

Li Xiao ate most of the large yellow croaker in the bowl in two mouthfuls before stopping to explain
"Yellow croaker rice cake is very simple to make, as long as you grasp three key points."

"First: choose fresh fish. If there is no large yellow croaker in the nearby market, you can also choose small yellow croaker instead. After all, fresh small yellow croaker is still easy to buy."

"Second: The stew sauce should be light. After all, this dish mainly eats the umami taste of fish. If the sauce is too thick, it will overwhelm the guests."

"Third: Time must be grasped, because it is stewed, so if the time is too long, the fish will be old; if the time is too short, the rice cake will not taste good."
