Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 163 163. It Wasn't My Words, I Just Bloomed Along the Way
There was another series of swallowing sounds in the live broadcast room.

"This crab is delicious even through the screen."

"I could already smell the aroma, and when I turned around, it was my seafood cup noodles."

"This crab looks really big."

"From the tone of the person upstairs, you know it's a newcomer."

"When this crab was alive, it was bigger than the host's palm."

"One crab of this size is probably worth four to five hundred and one catties."

"For the host's table, don't talk about the cost, plus the processing fee, it doesn't cost four or five hundred."

"Hey, hey, it's exaggerated, it's exaggerated, five hundred is not enough, but four hundred is still necessary."

"Did all of you people not read the previous content?"

Immediately a large number of people responded

"That's right, we came in with the rocket's treasure chest, how could we see the contents in front of it."

At this time, the old fans in the live broadcast room came back to their senses. Just now, there was a rich young lady who tipped the rocket several times.

As a result, the audience in the live broadcast room began to popularize science.

Li Xiao looked at the expressions of envy in the live broadcast room, and he knew that his live broadcast today was very successful.

Although with the back and forth travel expenses, the seafood here will become expensive.

But people's shopping psychology has never been like this.

Like shopping on Taobao,
Two products of the same quality,

One side is priced at 200 yuan, postage is 100 yuan, the total price is 300 yuan

One side is priced at 300 yuan, free shipping, the total price is also 300 yuan

Then there is no doubt that normal consumers will definitely choose the latter.

This involves a problem of consumer psychology. He will think that you are giving him a worse product and charge him postage at the previous price.

And the latter is priced, and consumers will think that the merchant not only gave a good product, but also did not charge themselves expensive shipping fees.

This is the same as some stores on Meituan Waimai who secretly increase the price of the product, but waive the errand fee.

In the hearts of consumers, they will feel that this business is very good.

The crab meat entered his mouth, and Li Xiao nimbly sucked out the crab meat mixed in the crab shell with his tongue.

The crab meat is very fresh and sweet, and it does not insult his eight crab legs that look like small motors.

Because the flour seals the fracture, the juice inside the crab meat is well preserved.

Li Xiao swallowed the crab meat in his mouth, and stretched the half-bitten crab meat in front of the camera.

"You can see that the meat on this crab is very firm, and the texture of the bunches is very clear when you press it down, which proves that it is very fresh and very old."

"If it is a crab that grew up eating feed and hormones, its meat quality will be very loose and watery, and it will be full of scum when bitten down, and the meat quality will be very woody, and it will not appear this kind of plump and firm Succulent."

"The ginger and scallion crab here is well seasoned. Although you can taste the addition of chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, the amount added is very small, and it is purely fresh. It turns out that the crab's meaty taste can even be matched with the ginger and scallion."

"The orchid crab has a certain amount of seawater in its body, and its crab meat itself is salty, so the store here also explained the amount of seasoning when seasoning, and while frying its salty fragrance, it does not It will overpower the flavor of the crab meat itself."

"However, the oil here may be a little cheaper, and there is a little too much oil."

As he spoke, he bit the crab leg inside, and stretched out his fingers dripping with oil in front of the camera.

"Hiss, the porn anchor is performing finger brushing?"

"What and what, why is it drawing? It's obviously dripping oil!"

"What oil? Lubricating oil? What brand is better??!"

"????"

"!!!"

"The front of the car is crooked again!"

Li Xiao wanted to see the barrage speech in the live broadcast room, and almost choked to death on the swallowed crab meat.

These guys! !Really can open any road.

He withdrew his oily finger with a constipated face, his associative ability was too terrifying.

Fortunately, I haven't done anything outrageous here, otherwise the words in these barrages will be randomly reviewed by the background AI of the kitten's live broadcast. I am afraid that the top of the audience list on my side will be permanent super tube.

Li Xiao quickly pushed the front of the car down, even if he didn't do anything, something would happen if he drove at this speed.

"Okay, calm down, there are many female audiences in the audience, so be cautious. What if there is your other half in there?"

"You know, my cousin and his wife met on the Internet. They have been together for 7 days, and the child is now 4 years old."

"Okay, after eating the meat of the crab body, I'll try this crab claw again."

"As we all know, because the frequency of crab claws is very fast, its meat quality is the best among crab meat."

"Actually, it's not entirely correct to say that it's the best, because crab legs are the most delicious crab meat, but the meat of crab legs is too small."

Speaking of which, Li Xiao picked up a crab claw. Before cooking the crab claw, the chef had smashed the hard shell of the crab claw with the back of a knife.

This way it only takes a single bite to tear off the rest of the crab shell.

The meat inside the pliers is also full and elastic. Because it was alive and kicking, the crab pliers pulled the meat out completely.

Li Xiao showed the intact crab claw meat in front of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Look at how well I pulled out this piece of crab meat. I even pulled out the two small tendrils in front of him."

Gently remove the piece of cartilage in the middle of the crab claw meat.Then Li Xiao was in the live broadcast room, under the eyes of the audience drooling.

Throw a whole piece of crab meat dipped in ginger and scallion sauce into the gaping mouth.

The new camera has very sharp pixels, and the autofocus function is very easy to use.

Even if the object of the video is the dark, wet, and constantly wriggling crab meat in the mouth, it can be clearly illuminated.

The meat quality of crab claws is better, not only the texture is clearer, but also firmer.

Li Xiao's tongue could even feel the crab meat spread out into strands after being chewed, which had a very special taste.

The audience in the live broadcast room swallowed their saliva while watching Li Xiao, eating meat with big mouthfuls.

Soon, the next two dishes were also served.

The [Garlic Choy Sum] worth 35 yuan, and the [Salt Baked Flower Conch] accounted for more than half of today's expenditure.

[Salt-baked flower snails] are placed in a casserole the size of a human head.

Li Xiao didn't open the casserole directly, but introduced it to the audience in the live broadcast room.

“[Salt-baked flower snails] are very simple to make, basically all you need is your hands.”

A barrage immediately popped up in the live broadcast room

"Good guy, the anchor is about to start acting aggressive again, everyone get ready."

"I'm an old fan of you guy. The last time I heard you say that was shredded radish, that shredded radish."

"Speaking of it this way, I can have a sense of the picture. Is that shredded radish like hair? I remember this dog said that it only needs hands."

"My understanding is that as long as the host has the hand, we will crowdfund together, buy his hand, and each will share a day."

"The idea upstairs is very good."

"Come, come, I'll show you a cat's claw."

"I have a car."

Looking at the group of people in the live broadcast room, who wanted to buy his own hands, he smiled wryly and quickly explained.

"This time, you really need to have your hands, it's very simple."

"Fresh flower snails can't be eaten directly, we need to wash them."

"Because the structure of the flower snail is relatively complicated, it is not very useful to wash the surface directly with water."

"If you want to clean it, you need to sprinkle a large amount of table salt on the surface of the flower snail, and then dry rub its surface directly."

"After scrubbing for about two to three minutes, throw the scrubbed snails into the clean water."

"At this time, the surface of the snail has been washed clean by salt powder, and because of the stimulation of a large amount of salt, the snail will spit out some mucus and sand in the body, so that it will taste very clean and refreshing."

"Wash the snails, add chopped ginger and onion, add a little cooking wine, add an appropriate amount of chicken powder and sliced ​​ginger, and marinate for 15 minutes."

"While marinating, put [-]% sea salt and a small handful of peppercorns into the casserole. The sea salt needs to be stirred constantly, otherwise the sea salt at the bottom will be burnt, and the sea salt will have a burnt smell."

"After three or four minutes of sea salt frying, you can turn off the high heat to medium-low heat, and then wait for the end of the flower snail marinating time"

"Put the marinated flower snails on the surface of the sea salt, cover the pot, and turn it to the lowest fire for 20 minutes before it comes out of the pot."

Having said that, Li Xiao picked up the towel next to him to wipe his hands, and opened the lid of the casserole without him even needing to fan it.

A burst of rich aroma of Huadiao wine and the smell of the ocean rushed over.

The reason why we say the smell of the ocean is that after the sea salt is fried, it will emit a smell that is unique to the sea salt itself.

The smell of the ocean, when described specifically, is a bit like the feeling of running naked on the endless beach in the morning sun.

After the flower snails are baked in salt, the smell will be expanded geometrically.

And because a large amount of cooking wine, sand ginger and ginger slices are added to the pickled snails, it can minimize the fishy smell of the snails to the greatest extent.

But in fact, the fishy smell of the fresh flower snail itself is not very strong. After marinating with cooking wine and sand ginger, the fishy smell is even lighter, as long as people who are not too sensitive should not be able to detect it.

He picked up a bamboo stick placed next to the casserole, and pulled out a flower snail in the sea salt like a carrot.

There was still a little sea salt on the snail, Li Xiao gently swept it with his fingers.Sweeping off most of the sea salt didn't bother, there was still a little bit of finely crushed sea salt stuck to it.

Gently use a bamboo stick to open the cover of the flower snail, and the long bamboo stick gently pokes into the meat of the flower snail.

Hold the hand of the flower snail shell and twist it lightly, and the meat of the flower snail will be brought out by the bamboo stick.

Li Xiao's technique is very good, the meat left on the bamboo stick is very intact. .

He handed the snail meat to the front of the studio.

"Although the meat of flower snails is delicious, not all of them can be eaten."

Li Xiao's fingers pointed at the colorful mass of viscera at the tail of the flower snail.

"Of course, strictly speaking, they are all edible, but they are not tasty, and there are a lot of dirty things in the Civil War Corps, and there are traces of shellfish toxins. Eating too much may cause physical discomfort."

After speaking, Li Xiao directly pinched the tail off, and what was left was a whole piece of snail meat, and stuffed the snail meat directly into his mouth.

The salt-baked snails have a strong aroma of sea salt and ginger. The meat of the fresh snails is already very firm, but after being salt-baked, the meat becomes more elastic.

The tight snail meat becomes more fragrant the more you chew it in your mouth, and the rich snail flavor instantly fills your mouth.

Li Xiao stretched out his thumb and said to the screen.

"It's pretty good, but there seems to be a little too much shaved ginger here, so the shaggy ginger flavor steals the limelight from the flower snail."

This salt-baked snail comes with a small dish of ginger powder. The ginger sauce is made from ginger powder and sesame oil. However, Li Xiao likes to eat the original flavor, so he didn't choose to dip the first flower snail in sauce.

But now the taste of sand ginger in this pot of flower snails is already very strong. If you add sand ginger sauce, you will only be able to taste the taste of sand ginger.

Li Xiao swallowed the flower snail in his mouth and said to the live broadcast room,
"This flower snail is a bit out of standard. If I were to rate it, I would probably only be able to give a passing score. The taste of sand ginger is too strong. It's a pity that I have more than 120 yuan of flower snails here, so I just went to waste like this." gone."

He was a little helpless, but the dishes were all ready, and it was the other party's choice as to how to judge.

Li Xiao couldn't blame the other party for the wrong way of cooking. It's normal to add sand ginger to the salt bake, but the other party added a little too much.

After all, this is only a three-star restaurant, and it is quite normal to have some small problems.

In fact, he had already planned for an accident, let alone a three-star restaurant, even a four-star or five-star restaurant may have some flaws.

Not to mention only three stars, but fortunately, the flaws are not concealed, and the meal is not bad.

The stir-fry with garlic and cabbage was also done well, so Li Xiao didn't have the idea of ​​finding fault with the other party.

After eating the last flower snail, Li Xiao packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Just a few steps away, I heard the sound of arguing from the direction of the cashier.

"The eastern star spot just now is so small, how could it weigh four and a half catties?"

"Also, didn't you just say that the price of lobster is 368 yuan per catty? Why did it become 668 yuan per catty at the checkout? One lobster costs more than 3000? It's a money grab!!! Are you a black shop? I already Call the police and wait."

Li Xiao quickly stopped leaving and hid beside a pillar.

The camera poked out surreptitiously.

The live broadcast immediately exploded.

"Good guy, good guy, I didn't expect that there would be an extra program after dinner, and I almost missed it."

"You people are too young. When the anchor was broadcasting, he was known as the famous detective Li Xiao. It would be too strange if one or two things were not broadcast every time."

"That's right, that's right, that is to say, the anchor has gained a little popularity now, and he doesn't go around doing things. He used to play very wildly."

"Is it very wild? Does anyone have a video and send it to me? I have a network drive."

"Yes, yes, I have a friend who also wants those wild videos. I will help him get some seeds."

Li Xiao was speechless looking at the picture in his live broadcast room.

The ones who had a quarrel with the shopkeeper were the three middle-aged men who looked like big bosses with a big belly that I saw when I entered the door.

He sighed that he must have been slaughtered, but their performance was too fat, and the boss probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep if they didn't slaughter such a top-quality fat sheep.

However, the opponent was not a bullying master, and immediately started to fight back.

Li Xiao also has no plans to leave, after all watching the excitement is everyone's favorite thing to do.

I can earn a lot of popularity and rewards by doing nothing, why not do it?It is not a violation of moral integrity not to contribute to the flames.

Just listen to the argument over there
"In addition, why do we [Sea Urchin Steamed Eggs] only have eggs without sea urchins, and each sea urchin is so expensive at 38 yuan? You say that a [Sea Urchin Steamed Egg] is 38 yuan, and there is no sea urchin, so I forget it. You are now Each customer [Sea Urchin Steamed Egg] is 38 yuan, and our table of 10 people ate 380 yuan just for this steamed egg, isn’t it a bit outrageous?”

There was an uproar from the people around. Indeed, 380 yuan for a steamed egg is a bit expensive, regardless of whether there is sea urchin in it, it is outrageous.

Li Xiao secretly clicked his tongue, the boss's machete must have cut too deep.

"Hey, boss, what you said is outrageous. The sea urchins worth 38 yuan each were picked by you yourself, and we opened them on the spot. We steamed them after your young ladies saw them."

The potbellied boss frowned. It was indeed his secretary who personally supervised them to open it. He frowned and asked the woman in red down jacket and heavy make-up beside him.

"Xiaojie, are you sure he opened all the sea urchins we picked?"

The secretary called Xiaojie nodded,

"It is true that a total of 10 were opened, and I saw him open it with my own eyes."

Xiaojie was a little scared, she didn't have the American time to watch this thing, he had been sending messages with other people just now, and he didn't see what was going on at all.

However, she definitely didn't dare to say it. If she said it, she might be scolded at least, or she would be whipped at night.

The fat boss was about to continue talking, but the boss standing behind the cashier spoke first.

"And the bosses, you can't say that we ask for the price randomly, but we made it very clear. You just look at the a la carte. Every variety of seafood here is clearly marked on the price, and the master of our seafood pool But I’ve asked you several times, and we only fished it after you agreed, and you watched us weigh it with your own eyes, how can you say we weighed less?”

"Besides, such a big Dongxing spot, how could it weigh more than 4 catties. You have to know that if you kill a fish that weighs 4 catties, it will be good if you kill more than three catties."

The fat boss' eyes widened, and he gestured with his fingers to the size of the fish plate.

"The problem is that even if you kill that fish, it's still not more than three catties. You see, the dish is so small that the fish can't fill it. You can see for yourself."

"Boss, you told us that the fish is small now that you've finished eating. Isn't that right? If you think it's too little at the beginning, we'll take it and weigh it as soon as it's on the table. If it's really too little, there's nothing to say. , now that you have eaten all you have to eat, you tell us to eat less, how can you do that?"

The dispute between several people became heated. At this time, several security officers came in from the door in a hurry.

The smile on the boss's face became brighter as soon as he entered the door. He reached into his pocket and took out a handful of cigarettes, ready to distribute them to the three security officers who came in.

The leading guard operator raised his hand to block

"Don't, don't, you can't smoke cigarettes, whoever calls the police."

He looked around, and his eyes quickly fell on it.On the people in front of the cash register.

According to his many years of experience in handling cases, these few must be the ones who reported the case. He gave the boss who wanted to pass him a cigarette a hard look.

Then he walked up to several middle-aged bosses and asked

"Did you report the case?"

The middle-aged fat boss nodded quickly
"That's right, that's the case reported by us. They are short of money here, and the price is not right. It must be a black shop. You should arrest him."
