Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 731 719. Competition
Just when the water friends in the live broadcast room were excited, several waiters walked over with a big iron pot, and the people around saw this and moved away, for fear that the iron pot would burn them.

"Come on, put it on." A waiter directed the rest to put the iron pot on the earthwork stand, and then turned on the fire with the remote control switch in his hand, and suddenly a puff of smoke came out of the earthwork.

Li Xiao, who was sitting on the seat, smelled the aroma of pork from the iron pot, presumably it was a half-cooked product, and then boiled it over high heat, and it was ready to eat.

He asked, "Are all the cuisines in this iron pot?"

The waiter nodded and said, "Yes, half of the pig is in this iron pot, but it's not stewed in one pot. Different parts have different ways of eating. You will know later."

It was the first time for Li Xiao to eat such a mysterious cuisine, and he suddenly became interested, and said to the water friends in the live broadcast room.

"Did you see that half of the pig is in the iron pot. The waiter said just now that this is not pork stewed in one pot, but different parts have different ways of eating. I see that other people seem to be stewed in one pot. Yeah, I don't know what that means."

After about half an hour, the waiter came over with a heavy glove on his hand, and then lifted the iron pot. Suddenly, a burst of heat rose, accompanied by a strong aroma of pork.

"Wow, it smells so good."

The others all praised, the aroma of pork is overflowing, as if the surrounding is full of meat, and there is a feeling of not being greasy.

The mist in the iron pot dissipated, and there was a tray in the iron pot with more than a dozen plates on it, and each plate contained a dish with different styles and different smells.

But the only thing that is the same is that the plate is all meat.

The waiter glanced at the meat on the plate, and said loudly: "This meat is ready, you can start eating, please take it easy, if you need help, please call us."

After the fog from the iron pot cleared, Li Xiao pointed the camera in the live broadcast room at the plates, and showed all the meat to the water friends.

"This is pork lung, this is pork liver, that is pork thigh, and that is pork head."

Li Xiao could tell at a glance which part of the pig each dish belonged to. The portion was very generous, with half a pig in it, which was just right for eight people, and one pig seemed a bit wasteful.

Zhao Ming on the other side was not to be outdone, and pointed the camera of the live broadcast room at these dishes, and began to explain them.

The two looked at each other, and then started the first round of competition, with Chen Ying and Wang Tiantian serving as referees.

Chen Ying glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "Then start the PK now, and you start tasting the first dish. As for what to taste, it's up to Wang Tiantian and I to decide."

After discussing it, the two women unanimously set their sights on the pork liver.

This plate of pork liver is steamed and has a glutinous aroma, which smells very sweet.

He took the dish out of the iron pot and put it in the middle, then Li Xiao and Zhao Ming each held a chopstick, put it in their mouths and tasted it carefully, and then appraised the dish.

The first one to taste it was Zhao Ming. He just chewed a few mouthfuls and then began to analyze it in the live broadcast room.

Zhao Ming glanced at Li Xiao coldly, and said slowly: "This pork liver is steamed, but before steaming, it is marinated with some special spices, which will remove the fishy smell of the pork liver itself. And it can enrich the taste of pork liver, you must know that after the pork liver is cooked, it has no taste, so the bottom taste is very important.”

"Then I mixed it with some other spices, and it tasted very good."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ming glanced at Li Xiao with a proud face. He could tell from a plate of steamed pork liver that it was marinated with spices, which ordinary people couldn't eat at all.

The right to explain was directly given to Li Xiao. He picked up another piece, put it in his mouth, and with a light bite, he could taste the sweetness of the pork liver and its own strength. It tasted very good.

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said to the live broadcast room.

"As Brother Zhao just said, this pork liver is steamed. You know, among all the cooking methods, only steaming can greatly preserve the taste of the ingredients themselves, but this also has a disadvantage, that is, it can't handle the ingredients well. , there will be a fishy smell, and the steamed food will not taste good."

"So before steaming, some well-known masters will take out the ingredients separately, and then perform subtle processing, which is the so-called base flavor processing."

Hearing this, Zhao Ming on the side couldn't help showing a sarcastic expression on his face, squinted at him, and said coldly: "I seem to have said it all, you just said it in a different way, in fact, you want to It’s about the same as me, so this game should be counted as my victory, right?”

Chen Ying and Wang Tiantian looked at Li Xiao at the same time. The commentary was indeed exactly the same as Zhao Ming's, but with a different sentence pattern. If it was this tasting, then Zhao Ming really won.

But Wang Tiantian believed in Li Xiao very much, because she had seen Li Xiao's analysis of food with her own eyes. It was a kind of temperament and erudition that came naturally from the inside out, and no one else could imitate it.

Hearing this, Li Xiao just smiled and did not make any rebuttals.

On the contrary, the water friends in the live broadcast room were immediately blown away, jumping out to speak one after another, and some even ran to Zhao Ming's live broadcast room.

"Shut up, you kid. Our Wang Da anchor tastes the same as you? That's just superficial, okay? Read on if you have the ability."

"Anchor Zhao, don't slap yourself in the face later, our anchor's erudition is not comparable to that of a small snack broadcaster like you, our anchor's ability has grown, otherwise how can we be a big anchor with a level of tens of millions? "

Seeing that Li Xiao's fans were so arrogant, Zhao Ming's fans couldn't bear it for a while, so they stood up and refuted openly.

"Hey, this commentary was obviously said by our anchor Zhao, and your anchor will just imitate it. If he said it first, I can't see why."

"That's right, our anchor is capable, okay? It's hard to taste the bottom flavor of this steamed thing, let alone what the bottom flavor is made of."

Just as the two sides started fighting, Li Xiao continued to analyze.

"The base flavor of this pork liver is also handled very well, very tasty, and the taste is very suitable for pork liver. If there are more other seasonings, I guess it will not have this taste."

"This master's base flavor is very special. He first mixes the onion and ginger juice with cooking wine, soaks the pork liver in it, removes the fishy smell, and at the same time drains the blood inside, achieving the effect of killing two birds with one stone."

"Then the master beat an egg with some cornstarch, and then mixed it evenly with the pork liver, and put some spices in it, such as star anise and cinnamon, and of course the most important flavor, that is Chen Zipi."

"Everyone knows that the chenzi skin has the effect of enhancing the fragrance and removing the fishy smell. It can ensure the freshness of the pork liver to a large extent. Then it is mixed and left for several hours, and finally it is taken out to wash off the raw powder on the surface."

"Wash it clean?" Hearing this, Chen Ying and the others on the side were a little puzzled.

Although they don't eat and broadcast, they are quite familiar with the use of cornstarch. Generally, after the ingredients are coated with cornflour, they are usually used for frying or dry frying, which can greatly lock the moisture of the ingredients themselves. It can make the meat softer.

But what is the operation of washing off the cornstarch and marinade?
Zhao Ming, who was on the side, had disdain in his eyes, and said, "Are you sure you can tell the master's method of making it? This pork liver is wrapped in cornstarch, so it can be directly fried in a frying pan, but he insists on steaming it. That's why you can eat this rich pork liver flavor."

What Zhao Ming said is also reasonable, after all, things coated with cornstarch are rarely steamed.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, glanced sideways at Zhao Ming, and said in a deep voice: "This is the master's brilliance. After he marinated these pork livers, he put them in the refrigerator to refrigerate. The bottom flavor has all entered the pork liver."

"In addition, the raw powder on the surface of the pork liver has the effect of locking in moisture, so all the bottom flavor is locked in the pork liver. At this time, the outer layer of raw powder has lost its value."

"It's as if what you said is true. Isn't it a little overkill to make a pork liver so much trouble?" Zhao Ming didn't dare to compliment Li Xiao's live commentary.

Others are talking about the taste, but he insists on explaining the production process, for fear that others will not understand him and he is talking nonsense.

But the water friends in the live broadcast room supported Li Xiao one after another, swiping rockets and carnivals to cheer.

The bet between the two directly attracted the attention of the two companies, and a meeting was held quickly to discuss the idea of ​​the two anchors, Maoya and Mouyu, competing against each other, so the two temporarily joined forces to create a live broadcast room to broadcast Li Xiao's live broadcast. The room was connected to Zhao Ming's live broadcast room.

Water friends from two different live broadcast rooms instantly gathered together, directly detonating the heat of the live broadcast room.

This level of popularity directly made Chen Ying a little tongue-tied. If she bet against Li Xiao, I am afraid that she is the one who is being paid attention to by tens of millions of people, right?
She regretted that she hadn't brought up the confrontation with Li Xiao earlier.

The backstage of Zhao Ming's live broadcast also received a message from a fish boss, and then he took a look at the number of people in the live broadcast room, and it directly exceeded [-] million, and the number of people watching continued to increase.

You know, he, Zhao Ming, broadcasts a live broadcast on a daily basis, which means that he has millions of fans, and at least one hundred thousand fans, but he is still far away from the anchor of tens of millions.

It's just that I didn't expect that the company's boss and many water friends would be alarmed by connecting with a passerby.

Zhao Ming's eyes were a little uncertain, and he looked at Li Xiao with some hesitation.

Li Xiao's live broadcast room also received a text message with a website address attached, directly clicked on it, and then entered a live broadcast room, and then switched to the pk mode.

"The two platforms have united?" Li Xiao was also slightly taken aback, this was the first time he had seen such an operation.

He glanced at the number of viewers, and it directly broke tens of millions, which is a bit exaggerated. You must know that eating and broadcasting can be regarded as the lowest level of live broadcasting, and it can't be too big at all.

He smacked his lips and murmured to himself: "Since I have received instructions from the boss, then I'll be more serious."

"The taste of this pork liver is very mellow, and it tastes very layered. The most important thing is that this pork liver has a herbal medicine added in it. It is this herbal medicine that removes the taste of the pork liver itself, and can be extremely Big guarantee of its own freshness."

"And this medicinal material is Tian Qi. This medicinal material is white and tasteless. It is very good for the body, but some people will use it as a seasoning. After all, Tian Qi powder is also a great tonic."

Hearing this, Zhao Ming's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Is there any evidence for what you said? I didn't even taste the taste of Tianqi in it. Could it be that you made it up?"

Having said that, Li Xiao just smiled and didn't pay attention to it, and then continued: "This pork liver is very rich in layers, which is inseparable from its own bottom taste. Of course, the cooking technique is also very important. .”

"The steaming method can greatly ensure the umami taste of the pork liver, and at the same time allow customers to taste the freshest ingredients, so this pork liver is very delicious."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Wang Tiantian and Chen Ying, and said, "I've finished my tasting. This is just a simple method, and it's nothing. It's just that he puts a lot of base materials, so it's so delicious. There are so many layers of flavor.”

Chen Ying, who was sitting on the side, was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the handsome man in front of him had such a good food appreciation ability, so strong that he even knew what other people did.

She had to admire it.

Chen Ying glanced at Zhao Ming, and said in a deep voice, "This competition was indeed won by Li Xiao."

Hearing such a result, Zhao Ming was not happy on the contrary, jumped up directly, and said, "How is it possible, no matter how good your food appreciation ability is, it is impossible to know what other people do, I don't believe it."

"Oh? You don't believe it?" Li Xiao looked at Zhao Ming with a half-smile, "Then you say, I'm a liar?"

Zhao Ming was unforgiving, and said: "Okay, then let's invite the boss to come over and ask in person. If it is true as you said, then I, Zhao Ming, will admit defeat."

"Okay." Li Xiao smiled slightly, glanced at Chen Ying, "Go and call the boss over, and tell him that I need to find him."

Chen Ying looked a little embarrassed, but the two of them are in the process of pk now, and the bosses of the two major company platforms have also got involved, directly sucking in countless traffic, and the fight is easy to operate.

After a while, the boss came over and saw that Li Xiao was analyzing the taste of his pork liver in a serious manner. He immediately became interested and said in a deep voice, "How about it? Is our pig-killing rice delicious? We only sell a certain amount a day. If the pigs are sold out, there will be no more.”

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and said, "Boss, have your pork livers been pickled and prepared in a special way? And it's what I just said."

After the boss listened patiently, he stood there dumbfounded, and then slowly gave a thumbs up.

"Little brother, your mouth is poisonous, you even ate this."
