Others went to clean up the other meals that were still in the pot, while Li Xiao came to the yard and dismantled the roasted whole lamb.
The blade of the boning knife was inserted into the lamb's neck and split into two along both sides of the spine.
Then he relied on the chef's skill in cutting cattle to dismember the lambs on both sides into more than a dozen parts, and finally reassembled more than a dozen mutton pieces into a complete lamb.
Because Li Xiao's knife skills are so clever, if you don't look carefully, you might even think that this little lamb never existed.
Send a large tray of lamb back to the table, and the meal can officially begin.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull, Li Jianguo raised his glass and said with a smile:
"Okay, stop scolding the child with a straight face. Xiaoxiao just said it was nothing, and Zhiming and Zhiquan were just careless."
"Just be more careful about this kind of thing next time. It's not a big deal."
However, Sun Yan spoke hypocritically:
"How can this be done? Xiaoxiao, what did these two little bastards damage to you? Er Niang will pay you for it."
Of course, Sun Yanke never thought about actually having to pay, but when she saw Li Jianguo and Li Xiao, they both said that there was no need to pay.
That's why I dared to be brave and be polite.
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched slightly. He really wanted to say yes directly, then you can pay if you want, but he still endured it.
He took a deep breath to suppress his thoughts, and forced a smile on his lips:
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a few thousand dollars, it's a small thing, just pay attention to it next time."
Sun Yan originally wanted to say a few polite words subconsciously, but when she heard Li Xiao say that the broken thing would cost several thousand yuan to repair, she quickly shut her mouth and swallowed the politeness she was about to blurt out.
She was just being polite, but she didn't want to actually pay a whole month's salary to apologize to her son.
If Li Xiao, a stupid young man, takes his politeness as genuine, it will be the end of the world.
Seeing that the situation was embarrassing again, Fourth Gu quickly raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. Let's have a drink together. I wish everyone a happy new year, and I also wish my eldest brother's family to move into such a good house."
The second uncle and the third uncle hurriedly echoed:
"Yes, from now on, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will enjoy the blessings with Xiao Xiao."
"Come, let's have a drink together, and wish Yuqing good luck in her college entrance examination this year and get into a good university."
The wine table culture of the Han Dynasty is still very useful. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table was finally no longer so rigid and boring. I heard the compliments of the second uncle and the third uncle.
Li Xiao's depression due to the damage to the drone seemed to have subsided a lot. A few thousand dollars could be exchanged for such a large pile of good words, which seemed to be quite worthwhile.
Especially when I think about the cynicism that the two families used to make towards their parents, now I feel very happy listening to these compliments.
After listening to two sentences, Li Xiao felt a little boring. After all, it was the same thing over and over again, and it didn't mean much.
He turned his attention to the table of dishes he had cooked. It could be said that they were all delicious and delicious. Although they were all simple home-cooked dishes, they were not ambiguous at all when used to entertain guests.
Yu Qing turned the turntable and picked up a piece of lamb leg soaked in spices.
Li Xiao quickly reminded from the side:
"Remember to add the dipping sauce on the side, otherwise the taste may not be enough. Although it has been marinated, the mutton is very thick. If you don't dip it in additional dipping sauce, the meat inside may not be salty enough."
Of course, another reason is that the taste of spices that have not been roasted and roasted spices are different.
When two different spices are mixed, the layering will be stronger, which can virtually enhance the taste of the dish.
Without any hesitation, Yu Qing picked up a piece of mutton chop with her chopsticks, dipped it in the dipping sauce and put it back into her bowl, then grabbed the mutton chop with her hands.
After all, it is really unsightly to grab the dishes on the table with your hands, and you will still pay attention even when you are having a family dinner.
This shows that the tutoring in Fourth Aunt's family is quite strict, and they even noticed such things.
As soon as the mutton chops entered his mouth, Yu Qing's eyes widened. The aroma was so fragrant. The aroma of spices in his mouth washed away the taste buds on his tongue.
Then as you bite down with your teeth, the fragrant sheepskin baked by the charcoal fire is like crispy potato chips, and it makes a crunching sound when you bite it.
Beneath the crispy lamb skin is soft and juicy lamb. Because it is protected by the outer crispy skin, the lamb inside does not appear to be dry.
The mutton has no fishy smell, but is full of the aroma of spices.
Because when marinating, Li Xiao also added half a bottle of Maotai, so the rich aroma of wine can be tasted from the meat.
Only then did Yu Qing understand why when she was checking her cousin's information just now, many comments on the Internet said that her cousin was very good at cooking.
At first, he thought it was a review promotion his cousin bought online. After all, many anchors, celebrities, and even public figures like to create a persona for themselves.
For example, he loves his wife as much as his life, likes to eat vegetarian food and never eats meat, and is a fitness expert. Yu Qing just thought that his cousin was probably like these people, but he boasted that he was very good at cooking.
In fact, in his opinion, this is understandable. After all, his cousin does food live broadcasts. If he does not have high enough cooking skills to speak out, his credibility will be greatly reduced.
But after he ate the food cooked by his cousin, he realized what it meant to be a good cook.
How high is this? This is too high!
There is no harm without comparison. If he hadn't had a meal at a high-end restaurant with a per capita price of more than 3,000 yuan at noon, Yu Qing still wouldn't be able to tell how high his cousin's level is.
But since he had just finished eating, he was still very impressed, which made the contrast even more obvious. In his opinion, the level of the chefs at [Keruyun] at noon today was lower than that of his cousin.
Although as a high school student, he couldn't tell what was wrong with it, he could still taste his cousin's food, which was indeed a little better than the lunch dish.
Not only Yu Qing thought so, but other people who moved their chopsticks also showed surprised expressions.
Fourth uncle also showed approval on his face:
"Xiao Xiao, your cooking skills are not simple! In my opinion, it is better than [Ke Ruyun] at noon today."
The third uncle was a little unwilling to see him come out on top, but he quickly agreed:
"This black pepper beef ribs is really delicious, fragrant and tender, and the black pepper flavor and beef flavor are really great."
The second uncle also smiled and said:
"This Eastern Star Spot is also delicious. The meat is firm and has enough umami flavor. You can tell at a glance that it was fished out of the sea not long ago. Maybe Xiaoxiao has some connections and can actually buy something like this in the city.
Fresh wild Eastern star spotted.”
Li Xiao deserved all the other compliments, but this one made him feel a little ashamed, even though what his second uncle said was not much different from the truth.
But it really wasn't that he had the connections, he really just bought it by chance. However, the fact was too bizarre, and no one would believe him if he told it, so he simply kept silent.
Anyway, when the sedan chair was carrying people, the only ones who knew the truth were his mother and himself. Neither he nor his mother could come out to argue, so he accepted the compliments of the other party with peace of mind.
Li Xiao also took a few bites of the food and found that it was exactly what they said.
The food tasted really good, and he also discovered that after gaining attribute points, not only did his physical fitness become stronger, but the taste of the food seemed to have also improved a lot.
He doesn't quite understand the connection between these physical attributes and cooking. It may be that his physical fitness has become better.
Therefore, the fingers are more flexible, resulting in sharper knife skills and more precise and smooth operation.
Of course, physical attributes may also bring other changes to the body, but Li Xiao has not yet explored these areas.
It's just because I exercise and cook a lot recently that I can clearly see the rapid improvement in these two skills.
Dinner lasted for two full hours. During this period, Sun Yan vaguely mentioned helping with promotion many times, but Li Xiao either declined politely, or simply pretended that he didn't understand and was fooled.
Li Xiao now somewhat admires the thick-skinnedness of his second mother. If it were others, they would have given up immediately after being rejected once or twice. But he was as thick-skinned as a city wall.
Fortunately, although the meal took a long time, I finally finished it and accompanied my parents to send all three families away.
Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his room. Looking at the seriously injured drone, he sighed. Fortunately, he had money now, otherwise the maintenance fee of several thousand yuan would have been really painful for him before.
of.
After sending a text message to Lao Tie and confirming that it could be repaired, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he didn't know if such a sophisticated thing could be repaired if it was damaged, but he had heard that many luxury goods were disposable.
Not to mention broken, even dirty, they will be thrown away directly, because when designing, they did not consider that the users who wear their products will take the products to wash.
Since it could be repaired, Li Xiao talked to Lao Tie and got the repair address there. After the Chinese New Year, when the courier guy went to work, he could go directly with SF Express.
Then after repairing it, I asked him to send it back to Dongguan. After all, he had already said that the repair time would not be long and it would only take a few parts to be replaced.
Calculating it this way, the time is just right. I can just come back from the capital, get all the equipment, and then start setting off.
In the next few days, Li Xiao spent every day at home with his parents, or took his parents out to visit relatives, or went hiking in a nearby park.
Of course, every morning when I go out to exercise, have breakfast, and cook at home, I take time to live broadcast. The live broadcast time is indeed much less than before the New Year, but after all, I can still clock in on time every day.
Considering that it was during the Chinese New Year, the audience forgave Li Xiao for such lazy behavior.
Li Xiao originally thought that the New Year would end in such a dull way, and then he quietly went to the capital to take the star chef exam and complete the application to join the national team.
On this day, Li Xiao went for a 30-minute long-distance run after getting up in the morning as usual to stretch his muscles. After all, although his physical fitness has become stronger, he still needs to keep exercising to prevent his physical fitness from declining.
Just when he was about to run back along the road to find a breakfast restaurant after finishing his exercise, a cry of surprise came from a distance, followed by several barks and curses.
He frowned slightly and immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Then I saw a little girl wearing a pink princess dress rushing towards the flowers, and behind the little girl, followed by a gray teddy dog.
The little girl looked back from time to time, while the gray teddy followed closely.
Li Xiao immediately understood what happened. He quickly said hello to the audience in the live broadcast room and immediately rushed towards the other side of the grass.
Hundreds of thousands of viewers didn't know why, but they all became excited when they saw Li Xiao's actions. After all, they just got up early and had nothing to do, so they watched the anchor exercise, but they didn't expect to see a good show.
He nimbly jumped out of the greenway on the sidewalk and climbed up the wrought iron guardrail using his hands and feet, moving as fast as a monkey.
Although Li Xiao has not conducted similar special training on weekdays, his physical fitness is already much stronger than ordinary people.
For him, such a two-meter-high guardrail is no different from the flat ground. The only difference is that he can walk directly over the flat ground, while such a guardrail needs to be climbed by hand.
Although the audience in the live broadcast room cannot watch from God's perspective, they can roughly feel the speed of Li Xiao's movement just by looking at the movement trajectory of the portable camera worn on Li Xiao's head.
"I'll go, the host was so fast just now."
"The anchor climbed over the wall in the blink of an eye. Did the anchor have any other mysterious professions before joining the industry?"
"I just said that the anchor ran very fast, but you didn't believe it, so you believe it now."
"The world was spinning as soon as I came in. Do you know what happened?"
"I thought I heard someone yelling just now. I wonder if I heard it correctly?"
While everyone was talking, Li Xiao had already exerted all his strength. He didn't even have anything to hide. If someone were to measure it with professional instruments now, they would probably find that his speed had broken the world record.
However, he is not worried about people in the live broadcast room seeing any problems, after all, it is a first-person perspective.
Even if the audience can see that he is running very fast, they are not sure how fast he is going.
On the contrary, saving people is more important. He is not willing to cause any accidents due to his own stupidity. Then he is afraid that he will regret it to death.
Li Xiao jumped off the guardrail and ran forward a few steps. At this time, everyone in the live broadcast room finally saw clearly what happened.
"I was so scared that I thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be just a dog chasing a child?"
"I don't know, I thought something happened. Isn't the anchor making too much of a fuss?"
"The people above are putting it too lightly. How do you think it's okay for such a big dog to chase a child?"
"Although the dog is not big, it is very big compared to the height of the children."
"Yes, this dog can already reach the child's chest."
At the same time, the medium-sized gray teddy that was chasing the little girl closely seemed to have felt that it was close enough to its prey. It jumped up on its hind legs and immediately pounced on the pink princess dress.
The little lolita.
Li Xiao felt a little anxious. The distance between him and the little girl was still more than ten meters away, and it was impossible to stop her.
Suddenly his eyes swept over and he found a small stone the size of a thumb right next to his feet.
With a flash of inspiration, he stepped out with his right foot and kicked the stone like lightning. The stone slid along a smooth parabola and accurately hit the belly of the gray teddy flying in the air.
The medium-sized teddy, which was not much smaller than a child, let out a shrill wail, then lost its balance in mid-air due to severe pain and fell to the ground.
The little girl quickly took advantage of this opportunity and ran in the direction of Li Xiao. Li Xiao also quickly took two steps to protect the little girl.
He quickly squatted down and checked the princess dress. He was relieved when he found that there were no wounds on the little girl's body.
You should know that the side effects of the rabies vaccine are very serious, but if you are bitten by a dog, especially a crazy dog that chases people, if you are worried about the side effects, it is not good not to get vaccinated.
The little girl is not injured now, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
The audience in the live broadcast room cheered when they saw Li Xiao's successful rescue.
"Well done to the host, I gave you a car as a reward to encourage you."
"The anchor does good things and does good things early in the morning. He is really a model in the anchor industry!"
“I used to get excited when I watched the host’s replay videos, but I didn’t expect that it would be so exciting to see it with my own eyes this time.”
"Look at all of your boasts, didn't you just beat a dog? Those who didn't know better thought the anchor had killed a tiger!"
"Hey, I knew it was Heizi when I saw it upstairs. Please check out the replay video of the anchor with the highest click rate. There is a video of the anchor fighting a shark. Can you go and watch it quickly?"
"Isn't a shark more powerful than a tiger? And the host is still dueling with the opponent in an unfavorable place like water. Isn't it more powerful than killing a tiger?"
"Did you see that the anchor's kick just now was so cool? Such a small stone could hit the dog's belly directly, and he also narrowly avoided the little girl."
"I suggest the anchor stop doing live broadcasts and go directly to join the national football team."
This sentence was like igniting a hornet's nest, and every audience member actually started making noises.
"National football team? Let's forget it. I don't know how many years I haven't seen it."
"Yeah, it's better not to let the anchor get into the hot pit of the national football team, and live broadcast with peace of mind."
"The two people upstairs have definitely not watched this year's World Cup. The national football team in this year's World Cup is really strong and has now entered the top 12."
"Indeed, we played really well this year. It can be seen that the national football team is playing very hard and is not like dealing with the audience like before."
"No matter how hard you play, it's still too late to start, and there are still many gaps between us and other countries."
"Actually, it's just a few star players missing."
"With the anchor's footwork and such fast speed, it would be really wasted if he didn't play as a forward."
"Yes, if there are a few forwards like anchors, we will definitely reach the semi-finals of this World Cup."
"With a host as strong as the top four? Wouldn't it be bad for the direct winner to take the Hercules Cup?"
The audience was discussing enthusiastically, as if the national football team had defeated all their strong opponents one by one, and had a big lead over their opponents in the final.
As long as the referee blows the whistle to end the game, they can find a good place to drink and celebrate together without getting drunk.
It seems that he has completely forgotten what the anchor he is following has to face.
