193. Dinner at the third uncle’s house (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
"Put the crab legs into an oven that has been preheated to 150 degrees and bake for 5 minutes before eating."
After closing the oven door, Li Xiao picked up the remaining crab claws.
"Crack all the crab claws in half, lightly powder the crab meat with flour, put it in a 70% hot oil pan and fry until both sides are golden, which is loved by children, and then take it out. This is to lock the inside of the crab meat.
of gravy.”
"Put butter in the pot, add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Finally, add a large piece of cheese slices, stir-fry the cheese slices until melted and add to the soup."
Studio
"Anchor, what if we don't have soup at home?"
"Yes, that's right. After all, it's not a hotel when you cook it at home, so how can it be served in a pot?"
.....
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 have prepared [Knorr brand chicken soup]. Just add a small piece to the water, simmer on high heat for 5 minutes, and you will have a pretty good pot.
Soup is served."
Everyone almost died laughing when they saw the green soup treasure that Li Xiao took out. After all, Li Xiao was very professional in the operation just now.
The knife rises and falls with the hand, flowing smoothly, every step is pleasing to the eye, without a trace of hesitation.
However, no one expected that in the preparation of the last dish, the host would actually come up with such a cheap condiment.
After all, in the perception of many people, almost all high-end chefs are very taboo about telling others that they use such semi-finished materials. It seems that if they tell others, their level will become much lower.
Such a strong sense of contrast brings an extremely strong comedy color.
Li Xiao saw the confusion expressed by many viewers in the live broadcast room, and a smile appeared on his face
"Well, don't force some things. If you really want to prepare the soup, there is really no need to boil chicken soup for several hours."
"Besides, many people working as workers may not have the time. Making delicious food is a joyful and relaxing thing."
“But if you overwork yourself just to make delicious food, you’re putting the cart before the horse, and you won’t be happy even if you make it.”
"Besides, the chicken soup made from a thick soup pot is actually not much inferior to the chicken soup made from real hens. At least in my opinion, most people can't tell the difference very well."
While he was talking, the thick soup treasure had been put into the pot. After the fire melted the thick soup treasure, he put all the crab claws that had been fried to golden color into the soup.
"After adding the crab claws, we can cover the pot and simmer over high heat for 10 minutes."
Li Xiao walked to the stove next to him. There was boiling water in the pot.
"In these 10 minutes, we can put our Yi noodles into 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 and set it aside."
Walking back to the chopping board, Li Xiao saw a large pile in front of him. There were dozens of joints, large and small, left over from the crab disassembly 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 and cannot be handled properly without a suitable tool. We recommend viewers in the live broadcast room to 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 long-legged crabs one by one, the audience felt like they had toothaches.
"Brother, didn't you say you don't have scissors here?"
"The world is not open. The anchor is afraid of damaging everyone's self-confidence, so he deliberately said there are no scissors."
"Wait, why do I feel like I'm hurt more???"
...
With the skill of [Cooking Ding Jie Niu], Li Xiao knows exactly where his scissors need to cut to save effort, and which position is the weak point of the crab. In less than two minutes, the crab shell and crab meat are divided into
There are two distinct piles.
Clean the fish head just taken out of the fresh cabinet, discard the gills and some inedible parts, use a knife to cut the head of the huge blue-spotted Spanish mackerel into two parts, wash the blood with clean water, and finally use the chef's knife
Wipe the moisture off the paper.
Heat the pan with cold oil, add slices of ginger and garlic, and throw in the fish head. Fry the fish head until both sides are golden brown, then pour in boiling water. Add the tofu cubes and the crab meat just taken out of the joint into the milky white soup, and continue to heat.
Boil for 10 minutes, and a delicious pot of [Fish Head, Crab Meat and Tofu Soup] is ready.
Li Xiao opened the lid on the other side of the pot and turned off the heat. The juice of the cheese-baked shrimp claws inside 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 cheese crab claws] was completed.
Finally, Li Xiao opened the remaining 8 crab legs that had been wrapped in crushed ice.
The lancet knife in hand and the chopping board on the table have already been disinfected with boiling water.
Li Xiao said to the live broadcast room again
"The next step requires very high knife skills. The same suggestion is that you should use scissors."
Studio
.....
"Good guy, I finally said it. What does it mean to have high requirements for sword skills? Isn't this just a disguised way of saying that we big guys are not good at sword skills?"
"Sorry, I was seen through. I have no sword skills at all."
"My kitchen has not been used since I moved in. I have only boiled water a few times to make instant noodles."
"I planned to take it out directly to the hotel, but seeing how relaxed the host was, I thought I could do it too."
"Upstairs, calm down. I suggest you go out and let the chef do it."
“I am the best among the four major misconceptions in life, I can do it too???”
"Good guy, a bunch of people look down on me. Remember my ID. I will start a live broadcast tomorrow to show you how superb my cooking skills are."
If it were just the first sentence without the last sentence, people might think he was a fool.
But with the following sentence, everyone's imagination began to wonder, could this be a hidden food anchor who came to attract traffic???
Many people remembered his ID because of this, and specially entered the other party's live broadcast room tomorrow. They originally thought they would see a superb cooking show, but what they saw was a joke they would never forget.
A man held a pair of scissors to a long-legged crab that had been torn into pieces, but he was helpless for a full hour. Finally, he took it to the restaurant downstairs and let the chef inside cook it.
However, this viewer seemed to have unlocked some incredible hidden attributes, and later became a slightly famous anchor, but not a food anchor, but a comedy anchor.
Li Xiao put the crab legs upright on the chopping board, and gently pressed one side of the crab legs with the index finger of his left hand.
The lancet knife in his right hand fell quickly. As the lancet knife fell, the index finger of his right hand kept moving.
The crab shells were cut open easily, revealing the plump and plump crab meat inside, which was crystal clear.
Your sword skills are already very superb. With the bonus of [Pao Ding Jie Niu] skill, the landing point of the flowing blade knife in your hand is very precise.
Although it took eight cuts to completely peel off one crab leg.
But each of these eight cuts was very accurate, without damaging even a trace of crab meat.
When everyone saw a piece of intact crab meat appear in the palm of Li Xiaozhang, the audience in the live broadcast room made a noise again
“The anchor’s god-level sword skills are once again shockingly revealed.”
"If I read it correctly, not even a trace of crab meat has been cut off."
"I'm sorry, boss, I was wrong. My shallow sword skills are nothing compared to the sword skills in front of the boss."
.....
As soon as the knife fell, the shells of the remaining seven crab legs were peeled off completely in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiao spread two layers of plastic wrap on the crushed ice and placed the clean crab leg meat on top of the plastic wrap. After all, once the crab leg meat sashimi is warm, the taste will become quite bad.
But 20 minutes later, a huge cherry blossom long-legged crab transformed from a lively state into 6 dishes with completely different flavors.
They are
【Crab Roe Steamed Egg】
【Jinsha Fried Crab Body】
【Yuanyang Baked Crab Legs】
【Baked Yi Noodles with Cheese Crab Claws】
【Crab meat, fish head and tofu soup】
【Crab leg meat sashimi】
Finally finishing eating six crabs and one crab, Li Xiao stretched himself. This meal can be said to have brought out about the fourth or fifth level of his cooking skills.
After all, using a single ingredient to make 6 different cooking methods is indeed a challenge to the chef's cooking skills.
"Okay, today I will show you a total of 6 ways to make long-legged crabs. You don't need to use all 6 methods on the long-legged crabs that will arrive tomorrow."
"After all, the process is a bit too cumbersome. The audience may not be able to do so many at once. You can choose these cooking methods you like to use tomorrow."
"I will send out the specific production process and seasonings later in the background."
At this time, the dishes at Third Aunt's side were also ready, including one portion of fried garlic sprouts, one portion of fried broccoli, and a pot of fragrant white rice.
Li Xiao re-set up the tripod. The camera was pointed at the dining table, and only he and the food were captured in the camera. After all, for his third uncle's family, who had never been exposed to live broadcasts, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to eat in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
.
After all the meals were prepared, the third uncle also took out a bottle of bulk white wine from the bedroom.
The liquor is packed in a transparent glass bottle. You can't tell what kind of liquor it is, but you can clearly tell from the slightly yellowish color of the liquor inside and the liquor hanging on the inner wall after shaking.
A bottle of liquor must be quite old.
The third uncle took 5 wine glasses, and everyone present received one.
The third uncle poured the light yellow wine in the glass bottle into the five wine glasses present. Of course, the two ladies only poured half of the glass.
He spoke to everyone expectantly
"Try it, taste it, this is the good wine I saved."
Li Xiao drinks, but not often. He only occasionally drinks a little beer with a few brothers in the dormitory, and rarely drinks liquor.
He picked up the wine glass in his hand and smelled it gently. The aroma of the wine had become very faint.
Maybe it was because the pungent smell of alcohol had disappeared after years of evaporation, but he found that the aroma of the wine in the cup became longer and longer. At first, it only felt very weak, but as he smelled it, he felt quite good.
Li Xiao took a gentle sip and it was very smooth in the mouth. It didn't have the spicy taste of ordinary liquor, and the taste of alcohol had also become very light.
He dared to confirm that he had never drank such delicious wine before, looking at the wine glass in his hand that he had drunk up without realizing it.
Although this small cup is not much, it is not too much for me who does not usually drink liquor.
Li Xiao smiled and said
"Third uncle, you are not very kind. I never knew you had such good wine in your house."
Hearing his nephew's complaint, the third uncle chuckled. He looked at the half bottle of liquor left in his hand with a nostalgic look and said to the people around him.
"This bottle of liquor is a good thing. I bought it 20 years ago. I was very high-spirited at that time."
"It happened that a person who bought my cherry blossom long-legged crab said that he had a box of good wine in his car. It was pure pure wine from Maotai Town. It was a good product left by the masters in the factory."
"At that time, I sold crabs and had money, so I bought him half a box of wine. There were 6 bottles of wine in that half box."
"Originally, I just thought it was cheap, so I bought it. Who would have thought that this wine is really delicious."
"So, I just thought that when the next harvest is good, I would go to Maotai Town and buy a box of this pure pure wine."
"But as year after year passed, I drank less and less. Originally I drank once a month, but later, I only drank once a year."
"But no matter how slowly I drink, the wine will eventually run out. And until I only have half a bottle of wine left, the big harvest I have been looking forward to has never come."
"So, there is only half a bottle left. I haven't been willing to drink it. I just want to wait for another big harvest one day, so I will take out this bottle of Moutai puree that has been treasured for 20 years and drink it."
"Today, when I decided not to mend crabs anymore, I unexpectedly encountered a bumper harvest. Maybe it's fate, or the world is unpredictable, or maybe God takes pity on me, a fat guy who has wasted most of his life."
"Anyway, I don't think I have too many regrets. Even with this great harvest, I won't change my decision."
"It's been 20 years. How many 20 years are there in life? I also want to understand that there are two great harvests in 20 years?"
"I am already luckier than most people. After all, many people have never encountered it even once. In fact, I should be content."
"So, today's bottle of wine that has been kept for 20 years will be cheaper for you. Okay, everyone, use your chopsticks."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was relatively low, Li Xiao quickly comforted,
"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 is there a great harvest, but your father and third uncle have also figured it out. I am really happy. Come on, let me propose a toast to Xiao Xiao. If it hadn't been for what happened to Xiao Xiao this time, I guess you three
My uncle can’t figure it out either.”
Li Xiao quickly stood up, picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for himself.
After all, when his elders toasted him, he had to drink it.
Of course, he didn't think the wine tasted too good, so he filled it up so much.
After all, if you drink too much wine to show respect to others, and if you drink too much tea to bully others, this is purely to show your respect.
This is probably how the so-called wine table culture originated. People who were not familiar with each other will gradually become familiar with each other while drinking and drinking, and the sluggish atmosphere will become warm.
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.
[Crab Roe Steamed Egg] Not only is the steamed egg filled with crab roe, but the surface is also covered with golden crab roe. He scooped up a spoonful of it with a white spoon and put it in his mouth.
"The crab roe on the surface is heated more evenly and directly, so it becomes hard, but more fragrant. When you bite into it, the rich aroma of the crab roe explodes on your taste buds."
"The crab roe that is mixed into the eggs is very smooth and is almost completely integrated into the eggs. The taste of the eggs and the taste of crab roe complement each other perfectly. The eggs are full of the taste of crab roe, and you can't tell the difference at all.
I don’t know whether I am eating eggs or crab roe. I just feel that everything I eat in one bite is crab roe, which is quite satisfying.”
Then Li Xiao picked up a piece of crab body covered with chopped salted egg yolk. The smell of salted egg yolk was very strong, and it floated into the nose as soon as he picked it up.
After taking a deep breath and frying, the salted egg yolk aroma becomes more intense, and it goes perfectly with the meaty aroma of the cherry blossom crab.
Li Xiao showed the golden crab body mixed with orange-yellow salted egg yolk in front of the camera, and without any further greeting, he put the crab body on the chopsticks into his mouth.
The shell of the cherry blossom crab has been fried to a crispy texture, and combined with the fried garlic and salted egg yolk, it can be said to be full of caramel aroma.
Because it is deep-fried before being stir-fried, even though the outer shell of the crab body is crisp enough to bite into, the crab meat inside remains tender and juicy.
The two should have completely different tastes, which brought a huge impact to the mouth and taste buds.
The crab meat inside the crab shell is sweet and juicy, while the taste of the shell is rich and burnt. If he could rate himself, Li Xiao felt that this [Jinsha Fried Crab Body] would have at least 90 points.
As for the mandarin duck baked crab legs, they also taste quite good.
Two different cheeses bring multiple flavors. After grilling the crab legs, the meat becomes quite firm and the texture inside becomes smooth.
Li Xiao showed the broken part of the half-bitten crab leg in front of the camera.
"Look, I now know what the prototype of those artificial crab leg meats is based on. If I guessed correctly, it should be this crab leg. Their appearance and taste are exactly the same."
Studio
...
"Come on, you will say that artificial crab leg meat is of course imitated according to the appearance of crab legs. Isn't it natural that the two things should look alike?"
"Hiss, my saliva is drooling."
"This sliver of crab meat is perfect."
"I've only ever eaten artificial crab leg meat, and it was the worst kind. It just tasted like flour and had no crab meat flavor at all."
"I'm a little better than you upstairs. Although I also ate artificial crab legs, the ones I ate were quite real. After all, they cost 10 yuan each."
"I have already purchased Sakura long-legged crab. Girls who have never tried it are welcome to sign up."
It's the end of the month, don't waste your monthly tickets, take pity on me and give me a few... 嘤嘤嘤嘤
