Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 133: Please forgive me for the poor hospitality

Li Rui took over Xia Yu's kitchen.

Although the food cooked by this fan girl may not be that good.

But the kitchen is fully equipped with kitchen utensils.

The various seasonings are also well prepared.

He briefly examined the current ingredients.

The cause of the minor accident just now was that the chicken leg, which was coated with too much batter, fell into the oil pan with too high temperature.

Li Rui quickly turned down the heat and fished out the chicken legs.

The surface of the chicken leg had turned a dark brown color from being fried, and a large number of starch lumps were floating in the oil pan.

At this time, Miss Xia had already removed her protective gear. She took Li Rui's mobile phone and put it on the cabinet in the kitchen.

Feeling Xiaodong's gaze,

Li Rui adjusted his posture slightly.

He told the audience: "Don't panic when you encounter this kind of situation, just cover the pot, turn off the fire and protect yourself."

"Boss Li, everyone said they are looking forward to your performance." Xia Yu bent over and read the comments in the live broadcast room.

[OK, Boss Li is here.]

【Okay, let’s get to the point of the live broadcast. 】

[Hmm? What's in the other pot? ]

At this time, Li Rui also noticed that both gas stoves were on. He asked:
"Xiao Xia, what's in this pot?"

Without waiting for Xia Yu to speak.

The movement in the pot next to it already gave the answer.

The rapidly swinging fish tail made the lid of the pot make a "ping pong" sound.

Shredded green and red peppers, onions and ginger were thrown everywhere.

Xia Yu said faintly: "Fish."

Li Rui quickly took the fish pot down and put it in the sink.

With the water from the tap, the fish temporarily calmed down.

Li Rui checked its injuries again. Apart from slight burns, there were no wounds on its body.

It looks like it was steamed directly in the pot.

There is also a bag of fresh produce next to it.

Li Rui turned around and asked, "Is this alive?"

Xia Yu plucked the green pepper shreds from her head and nodded.

Everyone in the live broadcast room was laughing like crazy.

【As expected of you. 】

[I regret taking off my helmet, right? (covering my face)]

[The knife skills are OK, keep it up. ]

Li Rui looked around the kitchen, checking the conditions inside the various pots.

Finally, he said to the rice cooker: "The rice should be fine."

"I'm quite good at steaming rice." Miss Xia said proudly.

Li Rui solved these minor troubles and officially started making today's lunch.

In addition to the marinated chicken legs,

He also saw a pot of minced pork placed together with wonton wrappers, probably in preparation for replicating fresh meat wontons.

Influenced by Li Rui's recommendation of hand-chopping the stuffing, Miss Xia obviously chopped it herself.

But the graininess is a bit too distinct.

For vegetables, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. are prepared.

Based on the available ingredients, instead of chopping the meat filling again and making wontons, it would be better to make a dish of minced meat and eggplant and smashed cucumber.

"The minced meat is ready. Let's have minced meat and eggplant today."

[It is indeed minced meat, but I think Xiaoxia uses it to make wontons. ]

【Boss Li really loves his fans. 】

[I also want to invite Boss Li to my home to cook. ]

【I'm jealous!】

The girl Xiao Xia looked at the "teasing" of her in the barrage and felt envy for her.

I'm in a very good mood.

Humming a little tune on the side, "The sky feels like summer rain, I really want to live next door to you."

At this time, Li Rui had already started preparing the ingredients.

He cut the round eggplants that Xiaoxia had washed into two halves.

Remove the root part which affects the taste.

Then cut into long strips.

Put it in a bowl and marinate with salt.

"Adding salt can remove excess moisture from the eggplant and also allow the eggplant to absorb the flavor in advance." Li Rui said to the phone.

Speaking of salt, Li Rui suddenly thought of a question.

He asked, "Xiao Xia, is this meat stuffing seasoned?"

Xiao Xia was by the sink, teasing the fish in the pot. She nodded at Li Rui.

“They are all placed according to the proportions in the teaching video.”

Li Rui knew in his heart that

In fact, she also made the fried chicken legs and wonton fillings according to the tutorials.

So, out of responsibility for the taste of the ingredients, Li Rui couldn't help but pick up a little bit of meat filling and put it into the oil pan.

He took a sip.

The taste is moderately salty.

There really isn't a big problem.

[This sense of trust arises naturally. ]

【Let me taste it for you. 】

The oil from frying the chicken legs is still taking up space in the pan, and the eggplant also needs to be marinated for ten minutes.

Li Rui took advantage of this time to fry some chicken legs.

"Before putting the chicken legs in the pan, there shouldn't be too much batter, otherwise it will easily cause splattering."

“You can check out previous videos on how to marinate fried chicken legs.”

After frying the chicken legs, the kitchen was filled with aroma.

Xiao Xia brought the chicken legs to the dining table.

He just tilted his head and looked at her affectionately, preserving the last dignity of hospitality for her. At this moment, the door of the master bedroom, which was not noticed by anyone, quietly opened a crack.

In the kitchen, Li Rui started to heat up the oil in the pan again.

Start sautéing the eggplant.

"For home-cooked stir-fry, you don't need to use so much oil."

[I am very satisfied with this amount of oil, haha. ]

[In fact, the secret to delicious restaurant food is heavy oil and salt. It’s okay to eat it once in a while. ]

[When cooking at home, it is better to exercise more control over your daily life. 】

After the pickled eggplant is squeezed dry, a layer of starch is applied on the surface.

Wait until the oil is hot, then put it into the pot.

Fry the eggplant until slightly browned, then set aside.

Add the minced meat to the remaining oil in the pan and fry to remove the moisture from the minced meat.

Add chopped ginger, garlic and sweet noodle sauce.

When the color is deep and the flavor is fragrant, add the eggplants prepared earlier into the pan.
Then pour the sauce prepared with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, sugar and chicken essence into the pot.

Finally, use starch water to make a thin starch.

Cook over high heat until the sauce thickens and the flavor is absorbed into the eggplant and minced meat.

When the soup thickens, add some garlic to add a little raw garlic aroma.

"Xiao Xia, serve the food."

Li Rui put the minced meat and eggplant on the plate.

The fan girl also came to the kitchen upon hearing the noise.

"Minced meat and eggplant! So fragrant."

[Xiao Xia, don't take it away, I'm just about to eat.]

After pounding the cucumber, Li Rui used the remaining wonton skins to make a pot of noodle soup.

Peel the tomatoes, cut half into dices and use for stir-frying.

Cut the other half into chunks and leave in the soup.

Heat oil in a pan, sauté chopped green onions, then add diced tomatoes into the pan and stir-fry to bring out the tomato juice and crunchy texture.

Then put the tomato pieces into the pot and stir-fry for a while, adding a small amount of light soy sauce to enhance the flavor.

Add water, salt, sugar and chicken essence to season.

After the water boils, put the diagonally cut wonton skins into the pot.

After the pot boils again, slowly pour the egg liquid in.
Serve once cooked.

Looking at the little hand that stretched out to serve the dishes, Li Rui shook his head.

"This one is hotter, let me do it."

Li Rui carried the bowl of soup, while Xiao Xia took his cell phone to the restaurant.

Aim at the dining table.

At this time, the dishes are basically ready, including fried chicken legs, minced meat eggplant, smashed cucumber, and tomato noodle soup.

A simple menu of three dishes and one soup with a reasonable mix of meat and vegetables.

"The conditions are limited and the hospitality is poor." Li Rui said.

At the same time, many viewers in the live broadcast room also started to eat lunch.

The delicious food on the table made them very envious:

[I saw the big chicken drumstick again. The outside was fried golden and crispy. It must be very delicious when you bite it. (Crying)]

[This is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Li cooking. It looks pretty good. ]

Some audience friends suddenly realized:

[That's not right, how come it's Boss Li who's entertaining fans? ]

['I'm sorry for the poor hospitality' shouldn't be Boss Li's line, is it a recorded broadcast? ]

[Eh? Whose house is this? ]

Miss Xiao Xia was also watching the live broadcast on her mobile phone at this time.

She explained: "This is indeed my home. This is not a recorded broadcast, it's a live broadcast."

Then he said to Li Rui:

"Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Li."

Then he started to taste it.

Li Rui looked at the food on the table and still felt that it was a bit simple.

Time was a bit tight and there was no time to prepare the ingredients in advance.

But compared to this little regret,
He was more concerned about the other girl who suddenly appeared at the table.

"Who is this?"

"My friend Xie Lin." Xiao Xia introduced the two people to each other.

Li Rui was confused. Where did this friend Xie Lin come from?
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen you. If I had known, I would have prepared more food. I thought Xiao Xia was the only one at home."

Xie Lin seems to be a very shy girl.

She blushed and explained:

"I've always been at home."

"It's just that the food you cooked smelled so good, I couldn't help but run out."

"If Xiao Xia cooks normally, I will hide in my room."

The meal that Boss Li hastily prepared did not disappoint the two girls.

The method is derived from the minced eggplant with roasted eggplant, which retains the texture of the eggplant being slightly burnt on the outside and soft and glutinous on the inside.

The eggplant and minced meat that have absorbed enough juice are salty and delicious and go very well with rice.

The fried chicken legs maintain Boss Li’s standard of fried food.

Although it was not served with mashed potatoes, the juicy meat was very satisfying.

The small cold dish of smashed cucumber serves to relieve greasiness and stimulate appetite during the meal.

Refreshing, sweet, sour, crispy and spicy.

The noodle soup, a small soup made with wonton skin, retains the sour taste of tomatoes.

He was so busy eating the wonton wrappers that the two girls had no time to care about their eating manners.

The netizens in the live broadcast room ate their lunch in envy.

I didn't expect that last night's decision would end like this.

In the afternoon, Li Rui escaped from the fan's house safely.

With him,

And there is that unfortunate fish that is still alive and kicking.
