Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 193 193. Dinner at the Third Uncle's House (ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket)
"Put the crab legs in an oven that has been preheated to 150 degrees, bake for 5 minutes and serve."

After closing the oven door, Li Xiao picked up the remaining crab claws.

"Break all the crab claws in half, powder the crab meat with flour, fry it in a [-]% hot oil pan until both sides are golden, which children love to eat, and then take it out. This is to lock the inside of the crab meat. gravy."

"Put butter in the pot, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, and finally put a large slice of cheese, fry the cheese slice until it melts and add it to the soup."

Studio

"Anchor, what if we don't have soup at home?"

"That's right, that's right. After all, it's not a hotel that's made at home, so how could it be a pot of soup?"

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth,

"You can rest assured about this, because there is no soup here, so we prepared [Knorr's Chicken Flavor Soup] just add a small piece to the water, cook for 5 minutes on high heat, and it will be quite good in a pot Soup is on."

Everyone almost died laughing when they saw the green thick soup treasure that Li Xiao took out. After all, Li Xiao's operation was quite professional just now.

Hands up and down with a knife, flowing clouds and flowing water, every step is pleasing to the eye, without a trace of hesitation.

However, everyone did not expect that in the production of the last dish, the anchor actually took out such a condiment with such a cheap price.

After all, in the perception of many people, almost all high-end chefs are very taboo to tell others that they use this kind of semi-finished materials. It seems that if they say it, their grade will become much lower.

Such a strong sense of contrast brings an extremely strong sense of comedy.

Li Xiao saw the incomprehension of many viewers in the barrage in the live broadcast room, and a smile appeared on his face
"There are some things, really don't force it, if it is really necessary to cook chicken soup for several hours to prepare the soup, it is really unnecessary."

"Besides, many people who work as workers may not have the time. Making delicious food is a kind of pleasant and relaxing thing."

"But if you overwork yourself in order to make delicious food, you will put the cart before the horse, and even if you make it, you will not be happy to eat it."

"Besides, the chicken soup made by a thick soup treasure is actually not much inferior to the chicken soup made by a real hen. At least in my opinion, most people can't tell the difference."

During the conversation, the thick soup treasure had already been put into the pot, and after the fire melted the thick soup treasure, he put all the crab claws that had been fried until golden brown into the soup.

"After putting in the crab claws, we can cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes on high heat."

Li Xiao walked to the stove next to him, and there was boiling water in the pot
"In these 10 minutes, we can put our Yi noodles in the boiling water. The Yi noodles don't need to be cooked for too long. After it is completely softened, boil it for another minute and then take it out for later use."

Walking back to the chopping board, there was a large pile in front of Li Xiao. There were dozens of joints left over after the crab was removed just now.

Li Xiao took out a pair of scissors from the side, and said to the audience in the live broadcast room
"The shells of these joints are quite thick. Without a suitable tool, there is no way to handle them well. We recommend that the viewers in the live broadcast room use scissors to cut open the shells of these joints, and then take out the meat inside. .”

Watching Li Xiao calmly cut open the joints of the long-legged crabs, the audience felt that they had a toothache
"Brother, didn't you say you don't have scissors here?"

"The world is not broken, the anchor is afraid of hurting everyone's self-confidence, and deliberately said that there are no scissors."

"Wait, why do I feel like I've been hurt more???"

With the skill of [Paoding Jieniu], Li Xiao knows exactly where to cut with his scissors to save effort, and which position is the weak point of the crab. In less than 2 minutes, the crab shell and crab meat are separated into pieces. There are two distinct piles.

Clean up the fish head just taken out of the fresh-keeping cabinet, throw away the gills and some inedible parts, use a knife to cut the head of the huge blue-spotted horse mackerel into two parts, wash the blood with clean water, and finally use a chef Dry the moisture on the paper.

Put ginger slices and garlic slices into the hot pan with cold oil, throw the fish head in, fry the fish head until both sides are golden, pour boiling water, add tofu cubes and the crab meat just taken out of the joints into the milky white soup, and continue the fire, Cook for 10 minutes, and a pot of delicious [Fish Head Crab Meat Tofu Soup] is ready.

Li Xiao opened the lid of the pot on the other side, then turned off the fire, and the juice in the baked shrimp claws with cheese was almost gone.

After a few casual stir-fries, he poured the Baked Shrimp Claws with Cheese on top of the cooked Yi noodles, and a [Baked Yi Noodles with Crab Claws with Cheese] was also completed.

Finally, Li Xiao opened the remaining 8 crab legs that had been wrapped in crushed ice.

The lancet in hand and the chopping board on the table had already been re-sterilized with boiling water.

Li Xiao said to the live broadcast room again

"The following link has quite high requirements for knife skills. It is still the same suggestion. You should use scissors."

Studio

"Good guy, I finally said it. What does it mean that the requirements for sword skills are quite high? Isn't this just saying in disguise that we big brothers can't do sword skills?"

"Sorry, I was seen through, and I have no sword skills at all."

"My kitchen has never been used since I moved in, and I have boiled water for cooking instant noodles a few times."

"I was planning to take it out and get it for the hotel, but seeing the anchor look so relaxed, I think I can do it myself."

"Upstairs, calm down, I suggest you go out and let the chef fix it"

"I am the top four illusions in life, so can I???"

"Hey guy, a bunch of people look down on me, you guys remember my ID, I will start a live broadcast tomorrow, so you can see how superb my cooking skills are."

If there are only the former words and no latter sentence, everyone may think that he is a stunned young man.

But with the following sentence, everyone's imagination is running wild. Could this be a hidden food anchor who came to drain people? ? ?
Many people remembered his ID because of this, and entered the other party's live broadcast room tomorrow. They thought they would see a superb cooking show, but what they saw was a joke that they would never forget.

One person held scissors to a long-legged crab that had been torn apart, but had no choice but to do nothing for an hour, and finally took it to the restaurant downstairs for the chef inside to cook it.

However, this viewer also seemed to have opened up some incredible hidden attributes, and later became a well-known anchor, but it was not a food anchor, but a funny anchor.

Li Xiao put the crab legs upright on the chopping board, and gently pressed the index finger of his left hand on one side of the crab legs.

The lancet knife in the right hand fell quickly, and as the lancet knife fell, the index finger of the right hand kept moving.

The crab shells are easily cut open, revealing the plump and plump crab meat inside, which is crystal clear.

Your knife skills are already very superb and with the addition of the [Paoding Jieniu] skill, the landing point of the Flowing Blade in your hand is very precise.

Although it took eight knives for just one crab leg, the crab shell was completely peeled off.

But each of the eight knives was cut very accurately, without hurting even a trace of crab meat.

When everyone saw a piece of intact crab meat appearing in the palm of Li Xiao, the audience in the live broadcast room made noise again
"Once again, the anchor's god-level sword skills are revealed."

"If I'm not mistaken, not even a trace of crab meat has been cut off."

"I'm sorry, boss, I was wrong. With my shallow sword skills, I am no fart in front of the sword skills in front of the boss."

With the knife in hand, the shells of the remaining seven crab legs were also peeled off in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiao spread two layers of plastic wrap on the crushed ice, then placed the clean crab leg meat on the plastic wrap, and moved at any time with soldiers. After all, once the crab leg sashimi is warm, the taste will become quite bad.

However, in the past 20 minutes, a huge cherry blossom long-legged crab has changed from a lively state to 6 dishes with completely different flavors.

Are

【Steamed eggs with crab roe】

【Jinsha Fried Crab Body】

【Mandarin duck baked crab legs】

【Baked Yee Noodles with Cheese Crab Claws】

【Crab Meat Fish Head Tofu Soup】

【Crab Leg Meat Sashimi】

After finally finishing one crab and six meals, Li Xiao stretched his waist. This meal can be said to have brought into play about four or five layers of his cooking skills.

After all, it is indeed a challenge for the chef to use a single ingredient and make 6 different cooking methods.

"Okay, today I will show you 6 kinds of long-legged crab recipes, and you don't need to use all 6 kinds on the long-legged crabs that will arrive tomorrow."

"After all, the process is too cumbersome. The audience may not be able to do so many kinds of cooking at once. You can choose these cooking methods you like and use them tomorrow."

"The specific production process and seasoning, I will post it in the background later."

At this time, the dishes on the third aunt's side were ready, a portion of fried garlic sprouts, a portion of fried broccoli, and a pot of fragrant white rice.

Li Xiao set up the tripod again, and the camera was aimed at the dining table, only taking pictures of herself and the food in the camera. After all, for the third uncle’s family who had never had much contact with live broadcasts, it was really embarrassing to eat in front of 10,000+ people.

After all the food was ready, the third uncle also took out a bottle of loose liquor from the bedroom.

The baijiu is bottled in a transparent glass bottle. It is impossible to tell what kind of baijiu it is, but you can clearly know that the liquor is slightly yellowed by the color of the liquor inside and the liquor hanging on the inner wall after being shaken. The bottle of baijiu is quite old.

The third uncle took 5 wine glasses, and everyone present shared one.

The third uncle poured the light yellow liquid in the glass bottle into the five wine glasses present, and the two ladies only poured half of the glass as a matter of course.

He spoke to the crowd expectantly and said,

"Taste, taste, this is a good wine I kept."

Li Xiao drank, but he didn't drink often. He only drank a little beer with a few brothers in the dormitory occasionally, and rarely drank baijiu.

He picked up the wine glass in his hand and smelled it lightly, the aroma of the wine had become very weak.

It may be that after years of volatilization, the pungent smell of alcohol has disappeared, but he found that the smell of the wine in the glass became longer and longer. At first, he felt that it was very weak, but it smelled quite good.

Li Xiao took a sip and the taste was quite soft. It didn't have the spicy taste of ordinary liquor, and the taste of alcohol had become very weak.

He dared to confirm that he had never drank such a delicious wine before, looking at the wine glass in his hand that he had drunk before he knew it.

Although this small cup is not much, it is not too little for me who usually does not drink liquor.

Li Xiao smiled and said

"Third Uncle, you are not being kind. I never knew there was such a good wine in your house."

Hearing his nephew's complaints, the third uncle chuckled, and heard him look at the half bottle of white wine in his hand with a nostalgic expression, and said to the people around him:
"This bottle of baijiu is a good thing. I bought it 20 years ago. At that time, I was in high spirits."

"It just so happened that a person who bought my cherry blossom long-legged crab mentioned that he had a case of good wine in his car. It was all puree and good wine from Maotai Town, and it was a good product left by the master in the factory."

"At that time, I sold crabs and had money, so I bought half a case of wine from him, and there were six bottles in total in that half case."

"Originally, I just thought that the price was not expensive, so I bought it when I bought it. Who would have thought that this wine is really delicious."

"So, I just want to go to Maotai Town to buy a case of this puree wine in person when the next big harvest is in."

"But as the years passed, I drank less and less alcohol. Originally, I drank it once a month, but later, I drank it once a year."

"But no matter how slow the drinking is, the wine will run out one day, and until I have only half a bottle of wine left, the big harvest I have been looking forward to has never come."

"So, there was only half a bottle left, and I was reluctant to drink it all the time. I just wanted to wait for another big harvest someday, so I took out this bottle of Moutai puree that had been preserved for 20 years."

"Today, when I decided not to replenish crabs, I actually encountered a bumper harvest. Maybe it's because of luck, maybe it's the impermanence of the world, or maybe it's God pitying me, a fat man who has wasted most of my life."

"Anyway, I don't think there are too many regrets. Even with this bumper harvest, I will not change my decision."

"It's been 20 years, how many 20 years are there in life? I also want to understand that there have been two big harvests in 20 years?"

"I'm already luckier than most people. After all, many people haven't even met them once. In fact, I should be content."

"So, today's bottle of wine that has been kept for 20 years is cheaper for you guys. Okay, let's move our chopsticks."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the field was rather sluggish, Li Xiao quickly comforted him,

"Okay, okay, this is something to be happy about, why are you so serious?"

The third aunt secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes, today is a good day. Not only did your father and third uncle figure it out, I am really happy. Come on, let me toast to Xiaoxiao. If it wasn't for Xiaoxiao's incident this time, I guess you three Uncle can't figure it out either."

Li Xiao quickly stood up, picked up the wine bottle and filled it up.

After all, when the elders toasted him, he had to drink it.

Of course, he didn't think the wine was too delicious, so he filled it so full.

After all, wine is full of respect and tea is full of deceit. I am doing this purely to show my respect.

The so-called wine table culture probably came about in this way at the beginning. People who were not familiar with the wine table will gradually become familiar with it, and the sluggish atmosphere will become warmer.

Everyone moved their chopsticks to pick up the dishes they wanted to eat, and Li Xiao also began to introduce today's food to the live broadcast room.

[Steamed Egg with Crab Roe] Not only does the steamed egg contain crab roe, but the surface is also covered with yellow crab roe. He scoops up a spoonful of it with a white spoon and puts it in his mouth.
"Because the surface of the crab roe is heated more evenly and directly, it will become very hard, but it will be more fragrant. Once you bite down, the rich aroma of the crab roe will explode on the taste buds."

"The crab roe mixed in the egg is very smooth, and it is almost completely integrated with the egg. The taste of the egg and the taste of the crab roe complement each other. The egg is full of the taste of crab roe, and you can't tell the difference. Whether I ate eggs or crab roe, I just thought that all I ate in one bite was quite satisfied."

Then Li Xiao picked up another piece of crab body covered with crushed salted egg yolk. The salted egg yolk tasted very strong, and it floated into the nasal cavity as soon as he picked it up.

After taking a deep breath, the aroma of the salted egg yolk is more intense, and it is really perfect with the meat aroma of the cherry blossom long-leg crab itself.

Li Xiao showed the golden crab body mixed with orange salted egg yolk in front of the camera, and without saying hello, the crab body on the chopsticks went into his mouth.

The shell of the sakura crab has been deep-fried until crispy. With the fried garlic and salted egg yolk, it can be said to be full of burnt aroma.

Because it is deep-fried before frying, the crab meat inside remains tender and juicy even though the shell of the crab body is crisp enough to bite off.

The two tastes that should have been completely different brought a great impact to the mouth and taste buds.

The crab meat inside the crab shell is sweet and juicy, but the outer shell has a strong burnt aroma. If he can give himself a score, Li Xiao feels that this [Golden Sand Fried Crab Body] has at least 90 points.

As for the mandarin duck baked crab legs, the taste is quite good.

Two different cheeses bring multiple flavors. The meat of the grilled crab legs becomes quite firm, and the texture inside becomes a root.

Li Xiao showed the fracture of the half-bitten crab leg meat in front of the camera
"Look, I only now know what those artificial crab legs are based on. If I guessed correctly, it should be this crab leg. Their shape and taste are exactly the same."

Studio

"Please, you will say that the meat of artificial crab legs is of course imitated according to the appearance of crab legs. Don't the two things seem to be taken for granted?"

"Hiss, my saliva is dripping out."

"This shred of crab meat is just perfect."

"I've only ever eaten artificial crab legs, and it was the worst kind, full of flour and no crab meat at all."

"I'm a little better upstairs than you. Although I also ate artificial crab legs, the one I ate looks real. After all, it costs 10 yuan a piece."

"I have already purchased the Cherry Blossom Long-legged Crab. Those who have never tried it are welcome to sign up."

It's the end of the month, don't waste the monthly pass, take pity on me.
