Hearing this, Li Xiao also understood why their abalone was made like this.
But after listening to his explanation, he shook his head in disbelief.
This reason is not good. It used to be the past and now is now, so now there are also elderly people coming here to have a meal, no, to eat.
However, there are more young guys and ladies.
We continue to follow the old tradition and specially extend the production time of abalone, so that its original unique brittleness and toughness become soft and waxy.
In Li Xiao's opinion, it is a bit too conservative and too old-fashioned.
He chewed quickly, biting up all the soft abalone and swallowing it.
He thought for a while, organized his words, and then expressed his inner feelings:
"If I just talk about the abalone juice here, I can say that it gets almost full marks. You can tell at a glance that it uses a secret recipe passed down from the palace."
"I have taken you to eat a lot of abalone in abalone juice. If we just talk about the abalone juice, the rating here is the highest."
"But if you want to add abalone, then the score I can give is only 75 points."
In the back kitchen, Zhang Huiyuan was still full of pride when he heard Li Xiao say that this was the best abalone juice he had ever tasted.
You must know that the recipe of this abalone juice was passed down from his grandfather's grandfather, and it has been continuously improved and perfected by five generations.
Zhang Huiyuan even felt that the formula he had in hand was far better than that made by his ancestors who once worked in the imperial kitchen.
Therefore, he is still very proud of Li Xiao's recognition. After all, he relied on this abalone juice to obtain the title of 5-star senior chef at a young age.
Of course, to get the title of five-star chef, it is not only the abalone juice, but also the skills passed down from the family and the understanding of the dishes.
But after hearing the second half of Li Xiao's comments, his face became a little ugly.
His brows furrowed deeply. He even felt that he was too impulsive and actually directly invited an Internet celebrity to promote his competition, or even serve as a guest judge?
Li Xiao’s voice continues to come from the mobile phone
"Although the signature here is palace cuisine, it is a new and innovative palace cuisine, rather than flaunting traditional palace cuisine."
"So actually, I think the taste of abalone here does not need to be completely based on tradition. You can have some of your own ideas."
"After all, in my opinion, if abalone loses its unique chewiness and the more fragrant it becomes, eating abalone will lose most of the fun."
"But anyway, abalone with such a soft and waxy texture is actually not without merit. It is quite convenient for the elderly and children to eat, but for me it is really a little bit inferior."
"Of course, another reason why I scored such a low score of 75 is that the abalone juice makes me feel so amazing."
"It gave me a huge sense of gap, otherwise his rating might have been higher."
However, Li Xiao soon discovered that his negative review came too early, after he gave a negative review to the abalone in front of him.
While chatting with the audience, he mixed the abalone and shark fin into the rice.
When he stuffed the spoon wrapped with abalone slices, golden soup shark's fin, and white rice into his mouth.
He immediately reacted and knew that he was wrong, and that he was very wrong.
Thank you for your monthly votes, thank you very much...
Besides, forget it, there is nothing else....
The soft and waxy abalone slices do not taste good when eaten alone, and they lose the characteristics that abalone should have.
But after the abalone slices, shark fins and rice were all fished together, the soft and waxy texture of the abalone slices brought a different experience.
The rice, which was originally just light and sweet, is wrapped in abalone juice and golden soup, and the taste becomes extremely rich. Every bite of rice gives people the greatest sense of satisfaction.
The crispy golden shark's fin and the soft and waxy abalone slices form a strong contrast and impact, one bite is soft and one bite is crispy.
One mouthful is the salty aroma of abalone juice, and one mouthful is the sweet aroma of golden soup.
Li Xiao closed his eyes, enjoying the constant impact in his mouth.
Only when all the abalone and shark fins were completely chewed and mixed with the rice did he truly understand how wrong he was and how far he had drawn his conclusion.
He opened his eyes again and let out a long breath.
He apologized to the audience in the live broadcast room with a sincere expression on his face:
"I'm sorry and I apologize for the public opinion I just sent out."
"This abalone fillet was cooked just right. What I thought was a shortcoming suddenly turned into a strength. I was too hasty to evaluate it. I apologize for my recklessness and impulsiveness."
"I take back all my comments about this abalone."
After hearing Li Xiao's completely opposite comments before and after, the live broadcast room exploded instantly.
"Anchor, if you are kidnapped, just blink your left eye and we will call the police immediately to rescue you."
"The big brother upstairs and I have the same idea. Why is there such a big contrast?"
"I also suspect that there were seven or eight chefs in the blind spot of our sight, holding seven or eight knives and pointing them at the anchor's vitals."
"Oops, I've got a picture. How about I call the police now? I'll have people from the Capital Security Department dispatch the police. They should be there soon."
"Are you kidding? There are hundreds of guests and more than 100 staff present. How can there be any coercion on the spot? Can you please calm down?"
Fortunately, Li Xiao quickly explained the reason, otherwise I am afraid that these talents in the live broadcast room might really come up with a whole set of crime movies.
Then many people may call the police directly, and then the fun will be great.
After all, among the more than 400,000 online viewers, as long as one ten thousandth of them went straight to the police if they had a brain twitch, at least dozens of people would go back and call the police.
With dozens of people reporting the same thing to the police together, the Security Department will definitely take it very seriously. By then, I am afraid that the palace banquet will be surrounded by armed forces.
Li Xiao estimated that if things really developed to that point, he would be directly on the news headlines tomorrow.
As he watched the live broadcast room, everyone's imagination was running wild, and all kinds of little stories and movie plots kept him entertained, and he almost forgot about the main business.
He coughed lightly and quickly explained to the people in the live broadcast room:
"Calm down, what are you talking about? Are there still seven or eight big men who are eight feet tall and eight feet wide holding guns?"
"Do you think this is a free country? Guns are banned here in our country of Han. This man is eight feet tall and eight feet wide. How can he be square?"
"Besides, there are so many people around me. Do you think their hearts are all made of diamonds? So strong?"
"I saw seven or eight strong men holding guns, but they were still calm, chatting and laughing, eating food? And they were able to take selfies?"
"No one is coercing me. There are no knives, no guns, no sticks, no machine laser weapons, and no quantum weapons."
As he said this, he angrily turned the camera around himself to show his innocence, because even if he explained it, the audience in the live broadcast room would boo, not believing it at all.
He did it again angrily and went back to explain:
"The reason why I said the abalone was not delicious just now was mainly because I picked it up and ate it without mixing it well."
“After all, the dish in front of me is abalone and shark fin with rice, not abalone in abalone sauce.”
"So the correct way to eat it is to scoop everything together and then eat it."
"So it was wrong for me to eat them alone just now. The correct way to eat them is to mix them together and eat them again."
"The reason why I apologize is because this abalone becomes very delicious when you catch it. The soft and glutinous texture is paired with the crispy shark fin and the fragrant rice."
“It’s really delicious and there’s no coercion from anyone.”
"In addition, I retract all the criticisms I made before. It was too reckless just now."
"Making comments before you finish eating is something that a professional food anchor shouldn't do."
"I apologize for my remarks just now and take responsibility for the possible impact."
"In addition, if any viewers find that someone has intercepted my live video out of context and posted it online to smear this [Palace Banquet], I hope you can help tell the truth. Thank you."
Zhang Huiyuan, who saw this scene in the kitchen, nodded with satisfaction. He had already had the idea of tactfully informing the other party that he did not need to participate in the weekend game.
After all, a person who cannot judge food fairly and completely is not worthy of participating in such a competition.
It was all based on my own preferences, and I made an evaluation before I fully understood everything about the food, and I made the evaluation in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
Li Xiao's remarks just now, criticizing the abalone for not being cooked well, actually had a huge impact on the palace banquet.
After all, as a restaurant that advertises palace cuisine, if it doesn't even know how to handle abalone, an essential ingredient for palace cuisine.
Then fertility will be greatly affected, and it may even be more serious than when soybeans are about to go bad.
After all, the soybeans were about to go bad and were not discovered. This was an oversight in the work.
If the abalone is not cooked well, it means the chef's technical level is too poor.
The two are completely a matter of two concepts, one is carelessness and the other is incompetence. It is clear which one is more serious.
But when he heard Li Xiao's sincere apology later, he frowned and slowly relaxed.
It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, as long as you know it and can correct it, and you have to admit your mistake in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Not everyone has the courage.
You must know that as a major anchor with millions of fans, he represents the truth.
Normally, even if he is wrong, he would not admit it. After all, whether it tastes good or not depends entirely on his own mouth.
Even if he discovers something really delicious later, as long as he doesn't admit it, no one will find out and hold him accountable.
But he openly disclosed his mistake in front of everyone.
And he admitted his mistake. This kind of person is really admirable.
After all, if it were him, he felt that it was impossible for him to achieve such a level.
This is consistent with the fact that he must remain consistent in the kitchen. Even if the chef below tells him what he did wrong, he will never admit it in public.
After all, this would severely damage his prestige and majesty. He could admit his mistake in private, or he could correct it in private, but he would never admit that he was wrong in front of everyone in the kitchen.
But Li Xiao did something that he could never do. Although it was impossible for him to learn, it was really awe-inspiring.
"Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing. If you really come to have a meal, you will know that I really didn't lie to you. So far, there have been no surprises."
“The performance is great, the food is delicious, and the experience is quite good. I still highly recommend it so far.”
"Although the unit price of this 1888 is a bit expensive, if you have the conditions, you can really try it."
"Of course, if I get slapped in the face with the next few dishes, I will take it back immediately, so you can rest assured."
In the live broadcast room.
"This anchor's routine of promoting promotion first suppressing it, and he said he didn't receive promotion fees from others?"
"First it shows that it is not delicious, and then it shows that it is super delicious. Isn't this copywriting?"
"If it tastes good, it tastes good. If it doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good. For the same food, how can it taste good this way and not taste good that way? Are you treating us like monkeys?"
"1888 people, and you still highly recommend it? This is not what I paid for. I'm here to eat, not to dress up and watch the dance!"
Suddenly, a large number of sunspots suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room, which caught Li Xiao off guard and Jiang Yingxue was a little unable to react.
At first, she thought it was the audience's rebellious mood, but it was obvious that this was not the case as the entire comment area was instantly covered by these negative remarks.
She quickly blocked dozens of accounts that she could tell were causing trouble at a glance, and instantly suppressed the momentum of negative comments.
While Jiang Yingxue was banned, Li Xiao quickly explained:
"I know that 1888 is a bit expensive, but what I am saying is that if you have the conditions, you can really try it."
“After all, this kind of dining experience is really rare. Not every place can eat such high-end cuisine.”
"Also, let me reiterate again, I have never accepted promotion fees from anyone. Even if I want to promote, I will explain it to everyone openly."
“If anyone missteps in the store I promote, I will immediately pay attention to it.”
"If the quality of the restaurant deteriorates greatly, I will do another live broadcast to prevent everyone from stepping on the wrong side of the story."
"Okay, that's enough explanation. I'm going to eat my abalone and shark fin first, otherwise the shark fin will become fishy after it cools down."
After saying that, Li Xiao ignored the comments in the live broadcast room and continued to finish the rice in the bowl.
At the same time, the next dance started immediately.
This dance was a little inappropriate for children, so Li Xiao quickly adjusted the angle of the camera.
Good guy, is there suddenly an exotic belly dance?
And are these young ladies wearing too few clothes?
Of course, the camera's shooting angle does not have as wide a field of view as Li Xiao's, but it is the best position after all, and the scene on the stage can be captured in an instant.
Each and every audience member immediately howled like a wolf, but before the audience could get excited, they immediately discovered that the screen had been twisted.
The young lady in front of the camera disappeared immediately, and all the audience could see was Li Xiao's table and his thighs in ancient costumes.
Now the audience in the middle of the live broadcast will quit.
"Anchor, what are you doing? You turned the camera when you saw a key point?"
"Anchor, you are going too far. I have rewarded you with several airplanes. You actually treat me like this?"
"Hurry up and turn the camera back. I'll reward you with a little rocket right away."
"Come on, come on, anchor, don't be so nervous. Even your supervisor with more than 400,000 fans doesn't dare to block your room, so hurry up and go back."
"Jokes, super management, these are the things I like to see the most."
"Don't be afraid, host. Costumes that can be used for dancing in public will definitely pass the review. Don't worry, turn back quickly. Everyone likes to watch dancing."
"Anchor, please show me some tricks. We are here to learn how to dance, not to watch you eat."
Looking at the heated comments in the live broadcast room, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Good guy, these big brothers who were originally diving suddenly appeared.
Those who said they wanted to give rewards actually meant it. The rewards that were originally given in twos and threes immediately occupied the screen.
In desperation, he could only move the camera nervously and slowly, because he was really afraid that a supervisor would come and seal off his room. After all, in his opinion, the young lady on the stage was indeed a little underdressed.
