Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 487

And I have worked hard for most of my life, and only by relying on the unique knowledge passed down in my family, I was able to get a one-star senior chef.

Moreover, the reason for the rating is that my century-old brine still takes a large part of the credit.

This is really more popular than dead people.

But the round-faced boss is also a well-informed person.

He was not jealous of Li Xiao either.

After all, once the gap between the two is really too big.

In fact, it is difficult to feel jealous.

More envy and admiration.

But the feelings of admiration and envy didn't last long.

The round-faced boss watched the queue getting longer and longer, and didn't stay any longer.

He knew that Li Xiao had no malice towards him.

His worries just now disappeared immediately, and he pushed the snacks on the table forward with a smile.

"It's rare to have a relationship with the little brother, and the little brother knows how to eat."

"These snacks are for the little brother."

"I'm still busy there, so I'll leave first."

After finishing speaking, he was not polite to Li Xiao, and returned to the back of the stall with a smile and continued to sell his Qingyan pig's feet.

Looking at the back of the boss.

Li Xiao looked puzzled, and had no idea what kind of medicine was sold in the boss's gourd.

But since he didn't come to him to advertise, he didn't have to worry about it.

He glanced at the snacks given by the round-faced boss.

Braised eggs, salted peanuts.

It's not a valuable thing, but it's someone else's wish after all.

And it's free, Li Xiao actually accepted it with a smile.

Insert a marinated egg with a bamboo skewer.

The egg is very small, two or three circles smaller than ordinary eggs.

That's only as big as the circle of the index finger and thumb.

Shaking the marinated eggs on the bamboo stick, Li Xiao showed off with a smile

"Privilege for a handsome guy, this is a marinated egg from the boss, let me taste it."

Studio.

"Disgusting, it's shameless to give back the privilege of a handsome guy!"

"Although the anchor is still a little handsome, what's the matter with this proud look?"

"o(╥﹏╥)o, my Brother Xiao is a good-looking anchor, and he says he is handsome, is there anything wrong?"

"The anchor is handsome, but why is this male boss giving the anchor eggs?"

"Laughing to death, it seems that the fat boss has something wrong with the anchor!"

······
Watching the ridicule in the live broadcast room.

The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was unworthy.

Alas, people's hearts are not ancient!

Ignoring the ridicule in the live broadcast room, he bit off half of a marinated egg in one bite.

The skin of the stewed egg is very soft, and the caramel-colored egg white cracks as soon as the teeth are pressed hard.

Li Xiao was a little puzzled, the egg white was too soft.

Normally, the skin of boiled eggs is tougher.

This is because the salt in the brine reacts chemically with the protein.

The longer you cook, the tighter the protein's structure will become.

The shorter the cooking time, the softer the protein.

If it was an ordinary boiled egg, the heat would be just right.

But if it is a marinated egg, the heat is slightly insufficient.

After all, in such a short period of time, the smell of brine might not be able to penetrate into the eggs.

Originally, he planned to criticize the taste of the stewed egg after eating it.

Then the next second there was a surprise expression on his face.

Because under the tender white is a semi-runny yolk.

The egg yolk will be undercooked, and there is no protection from the egg white when bitten down.

The egg yolk flowed out slowly.

The strong egg flavor immediately spread on the tip of the tongue.

Li Xiao's expression became extremely exciting.

This sudden flow of heart, the egg yolk was too much of a surprise.

It turned out that it was not that the heat was not enough, but that it was handled in this way deliberately.

Moreover, the soft and tender egg white taste and marinated fragrance are not outdone.

Li Xiao understood immediately.

This is the cold brew technique used by the boss.

The so-called cold soak means that the cooked food is put into room temperature or frozen brine.

Let the taste of the brine naturally seep into the food.

This cooking technique is usually done to keep the food tender and not get stale from being overcooked.

It's just that he didn't expect the other party to use such cooking techniques on cooking eggs.

"This stewed egg is surprisingly delicious."

"The egg white is very tender and tasty. Most importantly, this is a hearty marinated egg."

As he spoke, he turned the marinated egg over and displayed it in front of the audience.

Studio.

"??? Can a marinated egg still have a runny heart?"

"Of course marinated eggs can be luscious. Don't many restaurants in Sakura Country have this thing?"

"Liuxin Braised Egg YYDS!"

"This stewed egg looks delicious, and the mouth is watering!"

·······
After finishing the remaining marinated eggs in one bite, Li Xiao picked up a few salted peanuts.

The taste of salted peanuts is a bit unsatisfactory.

The peanut shells are huge, but the flesh is not too much, even a little shriveled.

Apparently, when the selection was made, it was not carefully selected or improperly stored, and an unexpected situation occurred.

"The marinated eggs just now are delicious, but the salted peanuts are a bit unsatisfactory."

Finished off the free snacks.

Li Xiao continued to introduce the unfinished Qingyan pig's feet to the audience.

"His pig's feet are also served with some of the most commonly used dipping sauce in Guizhou."

As he spoke, Li Xiao lifted up the small plate next to him.

This dipping sauce was exactly the dipping sauce that Li Xiao had stuck to when he ate tofu balls yesterday.

But yesterday's dipping sauce used sour soup as the base, while the dipping sauce in front of me used soy sauce.

And there are more fried sesame seeds and peanuts in it, which smells more fragrant.

"But in fact, I think the salty taste of this pork knuckle is quite enough. In fact, you can order this dipping sauce or not."

"But since the boss served such a small dish of dipping sauce, there must be a reason for him."

"I'm here to taste how the pig's feet with dipping sauce taste."

Li Xiao stuffed the Qingyan pig's feet dipped in sauce into his mouth.

The entrance is indeed a bit salty.

But after eating two more bites, I found that the sauce seeped into the pig's feet.

The longer it is, the more fragrant it will be, especially the soft tendons in the pig's feet.

Because of its relatively strong structure, it can be used when other parts have already tasted.

The soft gluten in the pig's knuckles will still look a bit unsatisfactory, but after dipping in this sauce.

This slight deficiency was immediately made up for.

While dipping in the sauce, eat the whole pork knuckle.

Li Xiao couldn't help stretching out his thumb:
"Although it is eaten with sauce, it is a bit salty."

"But really, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes."

"If you say that the Qingyan pig's knuckle before dipping sauce is 85 points."

"Then the Qingyan pig's knuckles after dipping in the sauce can get 90 points."

"Sure enough, it is a time-honored brand that has been passed down for 200 years. It is very worth trying."

"If you have the opportunity to come, you must come and taste it for yourself."

Studio.

"I can't go to the hype you said. It's more than 400 kilometers away."

"It's only over 400 kilometers away, and the plane can get there in one or two hours."

"The anchor is a man-eating mouth, let's take people's hands short!"

"Attention all units, this is a paid promotion!"

"The young pig's knuckles here are really good. They are really delicious. Every time I go there, I will bring two catties back home."
