274. The naughty child waiting for social education
After singing a song, Li Xiao clapped his hands gently, and said that the song was really nice. After saying that, he pressed two rockets in the other party's live broadcast room, and then left directly without waiting for Mao Mao to thank him.
.
Looking at the live broadcast room opposite which had turned into a black screen, Kitty-chan was stunned, and then felt a little moved.
He had received a lot of gifts like rockets in the past, and he would receive more than a dozen rockets almost every day during live broadcasts.
But since I have been smeared in various ways on the Internet, not only my live broadcast room, but also the audience has become less and less.
Even the rewards from the audience began to drop sharply. She didn't know how long it had been since she had seen the rocket's special effects.
Those rich people who once spent a lot of money on their live broadcast rooms seemed to disappear overnight.
And there are countless anti-fans in my live broadcast room who try to discredit me in various ways and even attack my fans.
She knew exactly what the reason was, but she was unwilling to retreat or give in.
Even though she needs money now, and her father's factory also needs money, she is unwilling to sell what she considers the most precious thing.
But she regrets why she didn't accept more food promotions and host more live broadcasts when she was famous.
At that time, you could get at least hundreds of thousands of rewards for a live broadcast, and sometimes even hundreds of thousands.
It's not like today's exhausting live broadcasts, although there are a lot of people watching them in a day, but the rewards for each live broadcast are only a few thousand at most, which is basically the same as before.
But even so, she has to keep going live, after all, the more than 10 million in her bank card has been filled into her father's project funds.
If we say we want to give up everything now, the more than 10 million will be directly wasted, and dad will still be declared bankrupt.
Things will go to the worst. If we give up now, it would be better not to even take out the more than 10 million in the first place.
That way, my family will be better off. Even if my father goes bankrupt and all his assets are confiscated, the family will still have more than 10 million from me to start over.
But now that more than 10 million yuan has been invested, it is simply impossible to withdraw. This is the so-called sunk cost effect. The more people invest, the less willing they are to leave.
Kitty-chan bit her lip, put a smile on her face again, apologized to the audience in the live broadcast room, turned around and went to the bathroom.
Closing the toilet door, pressing the flush switch, squeezing the throat, and vomiting are all done in one go, and you can tell at a glance that you have done it many times.
........
Li Xiao did not continue the live broadcast of PK, but went back to his room, randomly opened an animation and chatted with the audience in the live broadcast room while watching the animation.
After watching the anime for more than an hour, he returned to the first floor, where the marinated lamb was placed on the simple barbecue grill in the garden.
The charcoal fire had already been lit by Yu Qing, and the black charcoal fire had turned fiery red. This was when the fire was at its strongest, with no smoke or fire.
After adding a little water to the lamb with a small watering can, Li Xiao reminded:
"Yu Qing, remember, turn once a minute. If you turn five times, use this small watering can to replenish his whole body with some water. Do you understand?"
Yu Qing coolly made an OK gesture with her hands, and then sat next to the fire.
Although the garden is quite windy, there is a fire next to it, so you won't feel cold at all.
Seeing Yu Qing appear in front of the camera again, the female perverts in the live broadcast room roared again.
However, Li Xiao ignored the requests of these female perverts. She did not lack the reward of ten thousand or several thousand, so why would she wrong her cousin for performing because they said they wanted to reward Rocket.
Back in the kitchen, it's only an hour before meal time, so we can officially start cooking.
Take out the cleanly washed pullets from the refrigerator. When making boiled chicken, you must choose young and small free-range chickens.
The best breed is the Qingyuan Ma chicken. This kind of chicken is quite extraordinary. As early as 2010, it obtained geographical indication product protection.
When Nixon visited Han in 1972, he was served with state banquet-level chickens.
These chickens are raised free-range in mountainous areas, drink spring water, eat grains and insects, and grow two pounds of meat in more than a hundred days. They have thin skin and tender meat, and rich subcutaneous and intramuscular fat. They are most suitable for making white-cut chicken.
And it is best to disembowel them before laying eggs.
Because it is said that the chicken tastes the most delicious and sweet, has the lightest meat smell, and is the smoothest, tenderest and most delicate meat.
This is probably similar to the reason why vampires prefer to suck the blood of untouched girls.
Li Xiaozai carefully washed the naked Qingyuan No-Maj chicken again.
If there is no fuzz to the touch with your fingers, it means that the skin of the chicken has been cleaned. Turn it over and check the inside. The internal organs have been removed cleanly and perfectly.
He placed the cleaned Qingyuan No-Maj chicken on the workbench, found a thin hemp rope, and tied the chicken's neck.
The camera was pointed at the boiling water that had begun to boil. The height of the pot of boiling water was about 1.5 times the length of the chicken.
The reason why it is so deep is because you have to keep putting the No-Maj into the water and lift it up again later. This action needs to be repeated many times.
If the water is too shallow, some parts of it will not be fully soaked, and uneven heating may easily occur.
Seeing that the water in the pot was almost hot enough, Li Xiao introduced:
"Okay, now we can as long as the water temperature is about 80 to 85 degrees. If there is no thermometer at home, we can observe the state of the water inside."
"The water must not boil. It is better to boil the shrimp eye water before boiling. The water temperature at this time is about 80-85 degrees. At this time, you can turn down the heat to prevent the temperature from continuing to rise."
While he was talking, the water in the water tank had already appeared dense blisters the size of shrimp eyes. Li Xiao immediately immersed the chicken tied with a hemp rope into the boiling water and said something.
"When you put the chicken into the water for the first time, you can soak it for a little longer. This time is about 30 seconds."
"When 30 seconds are up, lift the chicken up. After that, the soaking time should not exceed 15 seconds each time. The reason why you have to repeatedly lift and soak the pullet on your hand is to let the water flow to all parts of its body.
.”
"This is similar to [low-temperature slow cooking] in the emerging molecular cuisine, except that the water temperature for soaking the chicken is slightly higher than that of [low-temperature slow cooking] in molecular cuisine."
Li Xiao kept pulling the hemp rope on his hand and said to the audience in the live broadcast room:
"The soaking process of plain-cut chicken is actually very tedious, but the benefit of the tedious work is that the chicken will be very tender and smooth."
"Of course, if you viewers don't want to take this trouble, just turn off the heat and insert a thermometer in the water. If the temperature is lower than 80 degrees, turn the fire back on. If the temperature is higher than 85 degrees, turn off the heat. Keep soaking for 10 minutes.
That’s almost it.”
In the live broadcast room
"Is it so easy to make the legendary Cantonese dish of boiled chicken? I have to try it. Once I learn it, I can tell others that I can cook Cantonese food."
"This dish really only requires hands. I also have a thermometer at home. I will try it tomorrow."
"Actually, plain-cut chicken is easy to make. The key is whether it tastes good and whether the sauce is good."
"What I said above is that if the sauce of a plain chicken is not delicious, then the plain chicken is useless."
While Li Xiao was explaining to the audience how to choose a Qingyuan No-Maj chicken suitable for making boiled chicken, he kept pulling the boiled chicken up and down in the pot.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly. Li Xiao placed the whole chicken completely in the pot, and then took out two large rows of ice cubes from the refrigerator.
Pour the ice cubes into a large stainless steel plate, pour in water, and then soak the boiled chicken in the pot thoroughly into the ice water.
Li Xiao reminded:
"This step is very crucial. After passing through the cold river, the plain-cut chicken can form a layer of jelly that is most talked about by the locals."
"This layer of gel-like substance is hidden between the skin and the meat. It is crystal clear like jelly and has a smooth texture."
"Many people think it is fat. In fact, it is the same as the pig's feet jelly and fish jelly that friends in the north are familiar with. It is a mixture of collagen and gravy. It is rich in amino acids and is extremely delicious. It is almost a jelly-like natural chicken essence."
"The presence or absence of this transparent gel layer is also one of the criteria for judging whether a plain-cut chicken is qualified or not."
In order to cool down as quickly as possible and retain the precious gel layer, the water must be ice enough, so more than half of the plate of ice water that Li Xiao just had was filled with ice cubes, so that the boiled chicken at 80 degrees can be quickly cooled down.
to 0 degrees.
After completely placing the chicken in the ice water with a layer of ice cubes floating on it, Li Xiao turned around and went to deal with the seasoning.
There are many ways to make dipping sauces, and there are various types of dipping sauces.
The most common dipping sauce only requires ordinary soy sauce and some hot oil. Of course, there are simple ones, and there are definitely more complicated ones. There are also dipping sauces that need to be refined for seven or forty-nine days, boiling from a large pot into a small dish.
of.
Of course, these are not among Li Xiao's choices.
After all, it is plain-cut chicken. If it is not served with chopped green onions, then this plain-cut chicken is incomplete.
Because Li Xiao had a teaching mission this time, he did not choose fancy production techniques.
I saw him taking out green shallots and a piece of peeled ginger, and introduced to the audience in the live broadcast room:
"Today I will teach you how to make a simple green onion juice. This is the simplest version. The ratio of chopped green onion to minced ginger is 2:8. Add a little green onion for color. Use salt, soup, MSG, and chicken essence to adjust the flavor.
Then pour hot oil and "sizzle" to bring out the aroma."
While he was talking, he had used a knife to smash the shallots on his hand, separated the white and minced shallots, placed the ginger on the melon grater, and used the simplest tool to take out the minced ginger.
Use your hands to squeeze out the ginger juice from the ginger paste. After all, once there is too much ginger juice, the ginger flavor will be very strong and affect the overall problem.
Add seasonings, pour a small spoonful of sizzling peanut oil, and the simplest green onion juice is completed.
After the dipping sauce was prepared, Li Xiao took the boiled chicken out of the ice water.
At this time, the plain-cut chicken was exuding an impressive air-conditioning, and it was obvious that the overall temperature had dropped low enough.
However, Li Xiao did not directly chop the chicken into pieces and put it on the plate, because there is still a period of time for the meat to wake up after the chicken cools down. The purpose is to let the chicken relax, and the chicken will taste more tender and softer.
Other dishes are not that difficult. Chop the ribs into thumb-sized pieces, marinate them with salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, and minced garlic and black bean paste. Put them in the steam oven and turn it on in fifteen minutes when needed.
.
For egg-smooth beef, cut the beef into slices in advance, beat in an egg white, add various seasonings, and a little starch water, stir constantly to let the water blend into the beef slices.
Li Xiao reminded:
"Starch water should be added in small amounts many times so that the beef can continuously absorb it."
"If a large amount of starch water is added at one time, the water will be discharged from the beef soon after it is added."
"If there is no water in the beef, the beef will taste very dry and not tender enough."
She took the time to glance at Yu Qing, who was still rolling the lamb in the garden, and found that he was not lazy.
Not only does the speed of rolling remain the same as before, but the watering can on my hand is sprayed from time to time to keep the lamb moist and prevent the lamb's skin from being scorched.
Li Xiao nodded with satisfaction. Of his three cousins, Yu Qing was the most obedient and had the best academic performance.
If I had just ordered Zhi Ming or Zhi Quan, then the roasted whole lamb in the garden would probably have become a charcoal whole lamb.
Even if you don't change the whole sheep, if you tell them to spray water with a watering can on time, they will probably be lazy and not do it.
After quickly finishing the preparation of other dishes, Li Xiao wiped his hands and walked towards the garden.
Checking the condition of the roasted whole lamb, he nodded with satisfaction. The skin of the lamb had become golden and crispy, and the spices on it exuded a rich and attractive fragrance. The inside of the lamb that was turned over and stretched was also sizzling.
Golden oil flowers.
The condition was perfect. Li Xiao patted his cousin on the shoulder and praised:
"The work is very good, the heat and moisture are well controlled, and you can take it inside after continuing to turn it for a few minutes."
Hearing Li Xiao's approval, the nervous Yu Qing relaxed. After all, a sheep is not cheap, and it would be difficult to deal with it if it was roasted by him.
Now that he heard his cousin's praise, he felt relieved and nodded, sat on the stool again and began to turn the roasted whole lamb.
In less than 10 minutes after returning to the kitchen, all the rest of the work is done. You just have to wait for the rice to be cooked and the steamed fish to come out of the pot.
After finishing today's home cooking lesson, Li Xiao said goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Today's live broadcast is not too long, nor is it short. Of course, if you want to compare it with Li Xiao himself, it is indeed much shorter than usual live broadcasts.
But he glanced at the data on his phone and found that he had climbed to the top three on the popularity list at some point.
And it is very close to the first and second place. It is estimated that two or three more Rockets can catch up with the first place.
Of course, he didn't continue to live broadcast because he wanted to earn the first place. This kind of food cannot be eaten or drunk. He is not a child anymore. Fighting for this false reputation is not of much use to him.
The total number of rewards is quite astonishing. In just 3 hours of live broadcast, the total number of rewards was 800,000.
However, since his contract has now been divided into 40 and 60, he was originally able to receive 400,000, but now he can only receive 320,000, which is more than 80,000 less.
But after looking at the more than 3 million lying quietly in his bank card account, Li Xiao didn't feel much about the missing 80,000.
After getting off the live broadcast, I greeted the people playing cards in the hall, and the people in the card game all responded and expressed their last hand.
Mahjong is also a must-have entertainment item in Li Xiao’s family every year. The price of playing is not big, one piece, two yuan a handful. It is purely for entertainment when chatting.
Li Xiao glanced across the hall but found that something was missing. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that two of his cousins were missing.
He looked towards the garden with some confusion, but did not find his two other cousins in the garden.
He frowned. Did he go out while he was cooking?
However, just as he was thinking, there was a sound of exclamation from the second floor, followed by a crackling sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Li Xiao took a deep breath. The sound seemed to be coming from his own room.
And he was pretty sure that there were no huskies or other large creatures in his room, so the only ones that could cause such a commotion were the two disappearing cousins.
Sure enough, less than 10 seconds after a heavy object appeared on the second floor and the sound of falling to the ground, two figures quickly rushed down from the upstairs. There was no doubt that they were Li Zhiquan and Li Zhiming who had disappeared.
Seeing the panic on the faces of the two people, Li Xiao quickly recalled what could possibly be making such a noise in his room.
Then he realized that there were not many things in his room, and the only ones that could make such a noise were probably his live broadcast equipment.
Since I am currently broadcasting live, the equipment they dropped could only be a charging drone on the table.
Li Xiao walked from the open kitchen to the hall. The two people who had just come down from upstairs were already hiding behind their parents like quails.
He rubbed his temples, glanced at his two timid cousins, and then shook his head.
He did not curse directly, but walked upstairs. Although there was a lot of movement just now, he still wanted to take a look first to see what happened before deciding what to do.
If the problem is not big, then he can pretend that nothing happened. Although the relationship between the two families is not very good, it is the Chinese New Year after all.
If it was just a minor problem, he could let these two people go.
I pushed open the door and walked to my computer desk. Sure enough, I saw my smart drone. Three of the four propellers were damaged.
One of the propellers has been completely broken and the bearing has been broken. It is obvious at a glance that it needs major repairs.
The damage to the remaining two propellers was not very serious. If the blade broke, only the upper blade needed to be replaced.
He rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.
He thought that the situation of naughty children coming to the room to cause trouble would only happen to some little brats of a few years old.
I didn't expect that it would happen to two guys who are already in their third year of high school today. Actually, this matter is neither big nor small.
After all, a drone worth tens of thousands of dollars really needs to be overhauled. Thousands of dollars are indispensable, but thousands of dollars is really not a lot for him now.
After a few seconds, he sighed and thought about it. After all, there is really no need to break up the relationship with relatives for a few thousand dollars. They are such old people and are still ignorant.
They are just two unpleasant cousins, and I don't bother to bother to discipline them. Anyway, when they get out of society, someone will teach them for me, so I don't have to waste this time.
Thinking of this, he closed the door and returned to the hall calmly.
Looking at his two cousins who looked nervous, he shook his head and said to everyone:
"What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and eat."
Sun Yan immediately stood up and wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Xiao with a wave of his hand:
"Okay, okay, it's nothing serious. It's not something valuable that's broken. Just take it and fix it. I don't want to curse because it's the Chinese New Year. Come over and have a meal quickly. Don't do this next time."
Late at night, he nodded quickly and pulled his son:
"Why don't you thank your cousin quickly? I went up to get a mobile phone charging cable and made a mess. What else can you do?"
Only then did Li Xiao understand why they entered his room and moved his drone. He probably saw such a large and technologically advanced drone when he was looking for a charging cable, so he became curious.
Maybe I accidentally dropped it on the ground while playing with it. I don't think the two of them did it intentionally.
After he figured it out, he forced a smile on his face, waved his hand and spoke again:
"Okay, if I say it's okay, it's okay. Go and eat quickly, otherwise the food will be cold after a while."
Seeing that Li Xiao really didn't care, the second uncle and the third uncle's family breathed a sigh of relief. They had just heard that their son said that the two of them broke a drone with a large basin that looked very expensive.
They were also worried that Li Xiao would ask them to compensate for this. If they had to pay a lot of money, it would be the end of the world.
Thanks to all the big guys for your monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and the rewards given by many big guys. It’s really a waste of money. Thank you.
