261. Good ingredients are the key to cooking

 Looking at the words "delicious", "buy one more box", and "you will regret it if you don't buy it" that kept popping up in the barrage, Li Xiao hesitated for a few seconds and took another box from the shelf.

After all, one person can deceive oneself, two people can deceive oneself, and three, four, five, or six people can deceive oneself, but the possibility of so many people deceiving oneself together seems to be very low.

Besides, you can try a pack first when you get home later. If it's really not delicious, you can just give it to those naughty children who come to visit relatives.

After all, except for one cousin who is one year older than me, all the other children of the same generation are much younger than me.

Each of the seven or eight naughty children could divide the bags into more than a dozen bags, and they could finish them all at once, so there would be no waste at all. Thinking of this, he nodded secretly and praised his own wit.

Li Xiao continued to wander around, looking for the goods he needed to stock up on today.

Soon he saw some things he needed on the shelf, compressed biscuits and energy drinks.

These are all good things that are necessary for long-distance driving. After all, I am driving alone and making noodles while driving is obviously unrealistic.

You can't even make instant noodles, let alone someone who can cook rice and make dumplings in the passenger seat.

Since conditions don't allow it, I can only eat biscuits, and energy drinks can also refresh me.

You must know that he checked the road conditions online. Some national highways are very long and there are no rest stops at all. You have to drive for three or four hours continuously before there is a side road or a gas station where you can rest.

Therefore, it is very necessary to store more drinking water and food in the trunk of the car.

Li Xiao picked and bought some gadgets, such as a multifunctional engineer shovel, a portable windproof stove, and some portable fuel, mosquito repellent lamps and other tools and equipment.

The reason why Li Xiao suddenly bought here was because he found that the brands here were actually quite good brands that he had checked online.

The price-performance ratio is very high, and it is very suitable for novices to use. It has a low error rate and is very reliable.

He originally thought that he would be able to send the peach treasure over the next few days after the New Year, but now that he has encountered it, he decided to buy it here.

The several things he saw in succession were all very good. Li Xiao understood why this place dared to accept a 338 one-year membership card. After all, the things here were really good. Although there were not many styles, they were all carefully selected and very cost-effective.

High product.

This place is usually divided into three levels: low, medium and high, such as the multi-purpose engineer shovel that Li Xiao just took.

The lowest price is 280, followed by 980. The most expensive one is the one Li Xiao has. It is said to be a multi-purpose engineering shovel made of tungsten steel electroplated with a layer of titanium. The price is 3800.

The price range among the three is quite large, but they meet the different needs of different people.

Moreover, Li Xiao has also seen the other two engineering shovels displayed on the shelves. The quality is also quite good, but the function and craftsmanship are slightly inferior, but it can also be seen that they are quite good products.

In the live broadcast room, when they saw Li Xiao buying these things for survival in the wild, some people immediately came to their senses.

"I just remembered now that the host will start the [Dahan Food Tour] event after the Chinese New Year. It looks like he is going camping?"

"Is the guy upstairs the new guy? Didn't you see that the anchor even bought an SUV? I guess he is going to drive around the whole country of Han, so these survival equipment are very necessary. After all, many mountainous areas are still very underdeveloped.

of."

"You really need to be more prepared. Last time I went to the mountains with a few friends, the traffic there was really bad. The three-hour journey with navigation took me 24 hours, and I almost starved to death on the road.

"

"Anchors are working too hard. I see that the anchors in other people's live broadcast rooms all say they take high-speed trains and planes. Why do anchors have to drive by themselves?"

"The anchors who took the high-speed train and flew to visit all the stores that are famous online. They are all wandering around the city. Are they not the chain restaurants that come and go?"

"Yes, when I traveled to the capital and to Yangcheng, 70 to 80 percent of the food I ate in the food streets was the same, which is outrageous."

Li Xiao saw some comments that he could tell were from new viewers, and quickly explained:

"Yes, the anchors will start setting off after the Chinese New Year. The current plan is to explore the food in every corner of Han Dynasty along the national highways and highways. We are not limited to big cities. As long as there are good recommendations, even small anchors can do it.

go."

.....

While chatting with the audience, he kept throwing all kinds of messy things into the shopping cart.

Li Xiao could swear to God that he didn't even think about buying so many things at first, but everything here seemed so attractive that he couldn't help but pick it up again and again, and then he couldn't put it down anymore.

He finally understood why the carts here were larger than those at other stores. Not only was their single product large in size, but also because consumers would buy a lot every time they made a purchase. If the carts were not bigger, they would be useless at all.

Can't fit.

Li Xiao spent more than half an hour walking and stopping, and finally arrived at his original destination [meat area].

At this time, the cart was only half full...

Just like ordinary supermarkets, all meat here is chilled.

Dozens of large white freezers were neatly placed together. From time to time, the freezers were opened, and the white air-conditioning inside came out. The entire meat area was suddenly filled with smoke, and it felt a bit like a fairyland on earth.

It looks quite spectacular.

And because many consumers come here at this time to buy some meat to stock up, the flow of people is huge, and there are several people standing in front of almost every freezer, choosing their favorite meat.

Li Xiao casually browsed through several different meat products and immediately discovered that the meat products here were quite fresh.

All the pork and chicken are fresh today, and although some steaks are older, they are within a reasonable range.

After all, you have to consider that these steaks are shipped from abroad, and steaks have a long acidification period. If you include the acidification period, these dates will be very fresh.

Li Xiao picked up a piece of snowflake steak with a very delicate snowflake texture and put it in front of the camera. He lightly traced the surface of the plastic packaging with his fingers.

The thin layer of frost on the surface of the plastic packaging immediately dissolved and disappeared, and the snowflake pattern inside became clearer.

His tone was very excited, and he happily spoke to the live broadcast room:

"My family, look what I found, a big wild grain-fed snowflake steak."

"Look at the snowflake patterns on his body. You can tell at a glance that it is a good piece of beef that is fat but not greasy."

....

Studio

"????"

“!!!!!”

"What a fucking wild grain-fed snowflake steak? This is obviously a supermarket!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, what is grain feed?"

"There are two ways to raise cattle, one is grass feeding, the other is grain feeding. Those who feed grass are grass fed, and those fed grain are grain fed."

"Then what's the difference between the two? Is it better to eat grass or to eat grains?"

"Isn't that obvious? Grains must be more nutritious!"

Li Xiaoyou saw this comment, nodded and said:

"That's right, the original owner of the piece of beef in front of you grew up eating grains."

"As for whether grain-fed beef or grass-fed beef is better, it's really hard to say. This needs to be analyzed from different aspects."

Li Xiao took another glance, and soon found a piece of grass-fed steak in the freezer next door, also from Snowflake, just for comparison.

He also wiped off the frost on the surface of the other piece of beef and put the two pieces of beef together so that the contrast was very clear.

He first pointed to the first piece of grain-fed beef and explained:

"Grain-fed beef, as the name suggests, is a cow that grew up eating grains. However, it does not eat grains all the time. Instead, it eats grass and grows to a certain level before switching to grains. It is usually 70% corn, 20% beans, and 10%

of hay.”

"Grain-fed beef eats more nutritious food and is grown in a greenhouse. It does less exercise and grows rapidly, so its fat will be more developed."

"So grain-fed beef can easily form snowflake-like textures that are as dense as a spider web, and the feeding time will be shorter and the meat will be released faster."

“Since most grain-fed beef is relatively young, the texture of the beef will be very tender and delicious.”

"But the fat in grain-fed beef is an accumulation type of fat, which is not conducive to the digestion and decomposition of the human body. Long-term consumption will have a certain impact on the human body. Eating too much can easily lead to obesity."

After talking about grain-fed beef, Li Xiao placed a second piece of grass-fed beef, also snowflake beef, in the center of the camera.

"As for grass-fed beef, as the name suggests, it is fed grass. This grass can be dry grass or wet grass. Of course, most farmers feed it a mixture."

"Because the area of ​​pasture is fixed and the rate of pasture production is also fixed, if all fresh pasture is used, the area required for pasture will be very large."

"So, most pastures will give cattle a certain amount of hay, and then put the cattle on the pasture to graze, so that the amount of fresh grass they eat will be reduced and the grass will have enough time to grow."

"Since grass-fed beef needs to go out to eat grass, the amount of exercise is much higher than that of grain-fed beef. The meat tastes stronger and has a stronger beef flavor."

"And because they eat grass and exercise, they cannot accumulate fat in their bodies, which results in a low fat content in their bodies."

Li Xiao once again wiped away the frost on the film with his fingers, revealing the condition of the beef inside.

"You see, it is also snowflake beef. This piece of grass-fed beef has significantly less snowflakes than grain-fed beef. Due to the lower fat content, the texture will be drier."

"However, the fat in grass-fed beef is Omega-3 fatty acids, which are extremely easy to be absorbed and broken down by the body."

Studio,

"Let me go, there's so much attention paid to a piece of beef?"

"According to what the anchor said, is it actually better to eat grass-fed food?"

"Fart, can you eat steak every day? Of course you should choose a steak that tastes good and tastes good, and of course it should be grain-fed!"

"I also like to eat grain-fed beef. Cut it into small pieces, put it on a pan with a piece of natural butter and fry it over low heat. The aroma will immediately fill the entire kitchen."

"If you want to be healthy, why don't you eat boiled vegetables? That's healthy. What kind of steak should you eat? I also support grain-fed."

"In general terms, grain-fed beef tastes good, and the taste of beef is average, but not healthy enough. Grass-fed beef tastes bad, and has a strong beef taste, but it is healthier. Which one is better depends on different consumer groups."

"That's right, as a person who works out all year round, I never like to eat grain-fed beef. If I eat one piece of beef, I will exercise for several days in vain."

.....

Li Xiao looked at the two pieces of beef in his hand and hesitated for a while. He threw both pieces into the shopping cart. As the audience just said, in fact, there is no obvious difference between the two kinds of beef.

It's just that the audience is different.

Then he continued to walk towards other freezers. Each freezer contained different types of steaks, beef ribs (the meat between the ribs), cowboy bones, and beef tongue. Except for the lack of internal organs, the body of the cow can be eaten.

Basically all appeared.

Li Xiao bought two more packages of beef ribs with very nice patterns. These are used to stew potatoes. They are simply a fairy dish.

I chose several large boxes of snowflake beef slices priced at 238 per pound, each box is 1KG. The snowflakes on them are really too tempting.

Originally, Li Xiao just wanted to buy a box. After all, if this thing is not eaten as soon as possible after cutting it, it will turn black soon.

He put the fat cow film in front of the camera and reminded the audience:

"Here I will tell you a trick to tell whether the beef slices are fresh. You can observe whether the edges of the beef slices turn black."

"However, sometimes the blackening is not immediately noticeable. Sometimes it is necessary to wait until the temperature of the beef slices rises a little, and the edges of the beef slices will not turn black until the beef slices are in complete contact with the air.

That means these beef fillets have been cut for a long time."

"In addition, you can also observe whether the color of the beef slices is bright enough. If the color of the beef slices is dark red or black-red, please do not eat this kind of beef slices. Although it is not as serious as the blackened beef slices, it is

It has also been stored for a long time, and may have even thawed during the journey, so it may have deteriorated.”

Everyone in the live broadcast room was excited when they heard Li Xiao’s revelation:

"Oh my god, I just finished hot pot at noon, and the edges of the beef slices I ate were black. The waiter there told me that it was blood stains, but I foolishly believed it. Now I know it was because of the

It’s been too long.”

"I learned it, and learned a little knowledge"

"It's so black that it's easy to spot, but the dark red color is hard to spot. Those of us who rarely eat fat beef can't spot it at all."

.....

Looking at this small 20 kilograms of beef, Li Xiao estimated that it would be enough for a long time. At least it would not be a big problem even if we have two or three dinner parties during the Chinese New Year.

Then he walked to the mutton area. The variety of mutton area was no less than that of beef area.

Li Xiao even saw a whole lamb wrapped tightly in a fresh-keeping bag. The price was not very expensive at 1,288 for a lamb.

And there were quite a few people buying. He had already seen a cute little lamb on several shopping carts, a naked little lamb.

He held a moment of silence in his heart for half a second and murmured:

"Such a cute little lamb, how much more cumin and spices should I add?"

He licked his saliva, and after much hesitation, his evil hands reached out to the few white, tender and smooth lambs in the freezer.

Although the preparation process is more troublesome, it tastes very delicious, and with such a big one, you can save a lot of dishes for dinner parties.

After all, just one roasted whole lamb is very filling.

Moreover, dishes such as roasted whole lamb are so domineering and tough that as a dish on the Chinese New Year dinner table, it can quite calm the scene.

Li Xiao picked out a few more boxes of mutton rolls and two large boxes of mutton ribs.

He held the box of lamb ribs marked 120 days old in front of the camera:

"The 120-day-old lamb is very tender at first glance. You must eat lamb when eating lamb, because once the lamb grows up, it will have a fishy smell."

"In addition, you must choose those that eat natural fresh grass. If you don't choose those that eat hay, forget it. Those that eat feed will have a fishy smell and you can't eat it at all."

"You can see that the date is quite fresh. It was killed early this morning, and the instructions also indicate the place of origin. This one is from the ancient Neihuang, Xilin Gol Grassland."

"This grassland is amazing. As long as it is not a particularly dry year, the grass can grow as high as a person's waist. It is a real wind-blown grass that can only be seen by cattle and sheep. Because if the wind does not blow down the grass, the cattle and sheep will not be able to see it."

It can be hidden in the grass."

"Because this grassland is rich in pasture resources, most of the cattle and sheep raised here do not need to add additional feed. They are very tender and have no fishy smell. The most important thing is that these cattle and sheep exercise regularly and will become

better."

As he spoke, he seemed to be moved by what he said, and took out a 2-kilogram box of lamb chops from the freezer.

"When you see this kind of mutton, you won't be afraid to buy more. It's not very expensive anyway."

Looking at the footage of Li Xiao going on a shopping spree, every audience in the live broadcast room became excited.

"Hey guys, this big box of mutton rolls only costs 148 yuan? It's really not expensive."

"Anchor, I'm also from Dongguan. Can you help me buy a few boxes of mutton rolls? It's too expensive for me to pay for the postage or pick up the membership card myself."

"Yes, I want the anchor too. I'm from Yangcheng and it's very close. I can pay postage here. Can you help me buy it?"

"I didn't expect that the legendary Sam's store actually has so many things to buy? I have decided to go there to stock up after today's holiday."

"There is no such store here. The nearest one is in the next city, which is too far."

"Just be satisfied upstairs, I have to go to the next province to find..."

"Actually, I've been to this mall, and it's just so-so."

Looking at the barrage of people, Li Xiao waved his hands helplessly:

“Don’t be so excited, everyone. Although the products here are pretty good, there is no need to pay so much extra for postage. Besides, only SF Express is still in business, and there are so many people in the live broadcast room, I can’t buy them all.

"

"Next time I encounter something really cost-effective and cost-effective, I will help you buy it. This time I will just take a look."

Then Li Xiao bought some pork belly with pretty patterns, with alternating fat and thin, and even texture. You could tell at a glance that it was the best pork belly.

Although it is not up to the level of the ten-layer pork belly in Jinsha Restaurant, the standard of pork belly for daily use in the family is already quite high.

Then Li Xiao finally bought another 10 kilograms of pork ribs. The quality of the ribs was slightly worse than that of pork belly, but the texture on it was pretty good. Li Xiao didn't bother to make another trip, so he bought it directly from the vegetable market.
