Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 79

Li Xiao was eating the third foie gras cherry, when the waitress opened the door and came in.

The young lady held a tray in her hand, on which was a small charcoal stove and a pot of tea.

"Hello guest, this is Mingqian Longjing. Please use it slowly. Please tell me when you need more water."

While talking about Miss Sister, he poured green tea into Jiancup.

Although Li Xiao doesn't know much about tea, he has seen others drink it a few times.

He picked up the teacup and didn't drink it directly, but brought it to his nose, and gently fanned the aroma of Longjing into his nose with his right hand.

The leaves on the same tea tree can produce ever-changing aromas through the skillful hands of tea makers.

It's very fragrant, but Li Xiao can't tell what it is, but if he tries to say it, he can only say that the tea is very fragrant.

He didn't take too many notes on this aspect. After all, this thing is too elegant. One thing is too vulgar and too elegant, and the audience will be very small.

Even if there are people who love tea in the live broadcast room, the number will not be many, so Li Xiao has never thought about learning about tea art in detail.

Take a small sip, clean and refreshing, with a sweet taste, the tea will leave your teeth and cheeks fragrant.

Recalling it, I seem to have drunk Longjing before, where did I come from?

Oh, by the way, it's Zhizhu.

But what you drink over there is Yuqian Longjing, and what you drink here is Mingqian Longjing. Obviously, it is expensive for a reason.

The quality of Mingqian Longjing is indeed better than that of Yuqian Longjing. After all, the time of collection is early enough, and the tea leaves are all new buds.

After drinking the rest in one gulp, the sweetness in the mouth became stronger, and the greasiness and sweet and sour from the foie gras cherry were washed away.

Just after putting down the teacup, I refilled myself a cup of tea from the small charcoal stove.

The second course came,

【Osmanthus rhyme】.

Another big white plate, it seems that the chef here seems to have a special preference for white and round shape.

In the big white plate, there is a small black round bowl. On the black bowl is beautiful drawing silk. The disorderly drawing silk forms a bird's nest shape on the black bowl, which is very unique and beautiful.

In the bowl is glutinous rice stuffed with lotus root, the main dish of this dish. There are also three or four green beans on the big white plate as emeralds, and a small purple flower, which also makes the big white plate not so monotonous.

The young lady did not leave immediately, but smiled sweetly, and then introduced

"This sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root rhyme is a sweet dish. The glutinous rice and lotus root are already sweet, so if you can't eat too sweet, you can eat it together without dipping the shredded silk."

After speaking, the young lady bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Li Xiao didn't touch the stuffed lotus root in the black bowl, but picked up the piece of stuffed lotus root that was alone on the big white plate.

Li Xiao said to the live broadcast room while picking up the lotus root

"Fortunately, it's a five-star senior chef. When the chef here designs the plate, he has actually considered the customer's acceptance of sweetness.

He specially put a piece of lotus root in the black bowl, just to taste the sweetness of the unshredded lotus root according to the guests.

If the guests feel that it is not sweet enough after eating this piece, they can eat it with shredded silk.

Very considerate, not only taking into account the presentation, but also relying on the actual needs of customers. "

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao put a square lotus root slice that was only as long and wide as a thumb into his mouth.

Take half of one bite, and the lotus root slices and glutinous rice are chewed carefully in the mouth.

The glutinous rice is soft and glutinous, but the lotus root is crisp and has a very special taste.

"At first I thought it was soft and glutinous, because normally glutinous rice stuffed lotus root slices are made of powdered lotus root, that is, the kind of lotus root that can be eaten with powdered powder."

"But here we do the opposite, using crispy lotus root, which makes the taste of this glutinous rice lotus root slice very distinct."

Li Xiao stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, nodded,
"It's pretty good, crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside, but I don't think it's sweet enough, so I'm here to taste the difference of this shredded lotus root slices."

Wire drawing is a saccharification process.

The method of mixing sugar with water is usually: wash the pot and make sure it is clean, then add sugar when the hot pot is about 6% hot, preferably soft sugar because the effect is better.

Be sure to control the temperature of the pot when frying. If it is too hot, the sugar will be burnt and it will turn into caramel, which will fail.

When the sugar is almost red, add a little water. The water and the ratio are added according to the ratio of sugar.

Then the temperature of the fire must not be too high, and then stir fry until the sugar and water dissolve and merge into a viscous shape, then turn off the fire.

Then wait for the syrup to cool slowly, put the whisk into the syrup, and give it a quick spin on the empty pan.

Centrifugal force will make the syrup thrown out into thin threads. When the syrup encounters colder air, it will solidify from the syrup into sugar silk, and then remove the excess to obtain a silk-drawn bird's nest.

Because the lotus root slices are still warm, the moment the lotus root pieces come into contact with the shredded silk, the layer of shredded silk that is in contact with the lotus root slices will melt slightly and adhere to the lotus root pieces.

However, the drawn wire whose outer layer is not in contact with the lotus root is not affected, and still maintains a silky shape.

The lotus root placed in the middle of the black bowl is more delicate, only half the length and width of the little finger.

Even if the lotus root is stained with silk, you can put it in your mouth in one bite.

Close your eyes and feel it with your heart.

The silk drawing is on the outermost surface, so the tongue and mouth first feel the wonderful touch brought by the silk drawing to the tongue, and then the tongue melts the silk drawing, and the silk drawing brings a lot of sugar to the tongue.

The teeth crush the lotus root, the soft glutinous rice, the delicate shredded, and the crispy lotus root, chewing and mixing together in the mouth, both the texture and the taste are quite good.

Opening his eyes again, Li Xiao let out a long breath
Give a thumbs up to the live broadcast room
"That's right, glutinous rice or mung bean stuffed lotus root slices can be regarded as a local dish in Hangzhou, a very distinctive dish."

"However, the traditional glutinous rice with lotus root slices is too big, which will cause people to be full after eating a piece. It is more like a staple food than a dish."

"However, Guiyu Shanfang is very thoughtful. Not only did it cut the lotus root into small pieces, but it also made a certain degree of innovation in the selection of materials. It's not bad, it's really good."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice, looked around for a while, and said to the live broadcast room furtively

"However, there is a problem. If you don't eat sweet sticky shredded noodles, it will feel very greasy, but without the shredded shredded noodles, the dish will be greatly discounted, so choose carefully if you don't eat sweet."

He was terrified by Zhizhu's experience last time. If the other party heard him complaining, and it happened to be a small belly, he didn't have much confidence that he could beat a five-star senior chef.

Seeing Li Xiao sneaking around in the live broadcast made me laugh out loud
"Laughing, brother, you are in the private room, are you afraid that someone has a bug?"

"Bugs? It's not impossible! This is the anchor's professional room."

"It seems to make sense? Hearing you say bad things about him, directly use the jammer to block the signal in the room."

"I suspect that not only bugs are installed, but there may also be a 360-degree water drop camera."

"!!! It seems that there is something strange?"

"This can drive, luck"

"I don't quite understand when I just came here, is this a paid water drop live broadcast room?"

"One thing to say, I really saw the inside of the private room."

"I don't believe it unless you send it to me."

"Believe it or not..."
