Not long after, a plate of scallion pancakes was served.
Along with the pancakes, there is a children's chair specially prepared for children.
This detail made Li Xiao's impression of this restaurant much better.
As scallions specially grown in the Gobi, the pancakes made are also very characteristic of the northwest.
The preparation of scallion pancakes is very simple. Stir flour, eggs, water, salt, and pepper into pancake slurry, then sprinkle with chopped scallions, spread a little vegetable oil on the hot iron plate, and pour the pancake slurry.
Shape into a round cake and fry until golden brown on both sides.
The thin pancake with a little bit of green is folded into a triangle. To the naked eye, the thickness of the pancake is only as thick as two or three pieces of paper.
On the top of the pancake, a little bit of light yellow sesame oil still exudes a rich and mellow aroma.
A small bowl served with the pancakes was topped with spicy chili seeds.
"This chef's pancake skills are pretty good." Li Xiao praised.
"Eat something to fill your stomach first," Cheng Wei called to Mo Jie, who was sitting in his seat and hadn't moved much, and introduced to Li Xiao with a smile: "This scallion is a good thing that grows naturally. It can not only be eaten, but also
It can be used as medicine."
"It looks quite appetizing." Li Xiao put on her gloves, picked up a piece of pancake and put it in front of the camera.
"The flavor of sesame oil completely extracts the sharp smell of shallots without overpowering the flavor, which is the finishing touch."
When you take a bite, a crisp clicking sound resounds in your mouth.
“It’s very tender, has a very fragrant scallion flavor, and tastes very refreshing.”
"The taste of scallions is very different from any other kind of scallions I have eaten before. It tastes like scallions at first, but you can also feel the texture of leeks, and you can even taste some herbs later in the meal.
The taste is a light oily aroma, mixed with a slight sweetness."
“The chef controls the heat very well. The outside of the pancake skin tastes slightly burnt, which adds to the texture. It tastes crispy. When you eat the middle part, the full moisture of the shallots neutralizes the dryness of the pancake.
It gives you a crisp yet elastic feeling.”
“It can be said to be a very magical taste experience.”
After taking two bites, Li Xiao scooped out a spoonful of spicy food with a small spoon on the side and stuffed it into the pancake.
"The spicy peanut butter in this store has a stronger taste, not obvious spiciness, but has a stronger stamina. It becomes spicier the more you eat it."
“When paired with pancakes, the taste of the pancakes will be enriched to another level.”
While talking and eating, Li Xiao's lips began to turn red without realizing it.
“The pancakes are really great, I’m willing to give them 90 points.”
Studio:
"Did you hear the crunching sound when the host was eating pancakes just now? The sound was absolutely amazing!"
“I’ve only heard of barbecue that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I didn’t expect to see pancakes that are ‘charred on the outside and tender on the inside’ for the first time!”
"This pancake looks too thin!"
"I really want to know how the chef can cook pancakes so thin!"
"The anchor eats so deliciously that his eyes almost squint."
"Am I the only one who thinks the anchor's lips look sexy when they are red?"
"Wrong place upstairs?"
······
Li Xiao and Cheng Wei, father and daughter, ate two pancakes. Only Mo Jie, who was sitting next to him, did not move.
"Xiaojie, aren't you hungry?"
"Ah, a bit." Mo Jie, who was in a daze for some reason, shivered violently after his name was called. He came back to his senses and put on his gloves tremblingly, picked up the pancake and ate it one bite at a time.
"Speaking of which, I've always been curious, Xiaojie, are you so nervous because there is something about us that you can't stand?" It was clear from last night that something was wrong with Mo Jie, and Li Xiao had long wanted to ask this question.
Hearing this question, Mo Jie gave a wry smile and said, "I just have a little bit of social phobia. If I get used to it slowly, I should be fine."
"But studying law is a profession that requires dealing with people. Why did you choose this profession in the first place?" Cheng Wei looked curiously at the young man whose face was flushed.
"At first I wanted to learn computers, but then my family changed my intention..." Mo Jie seemed to have been opened up when he mentioned this, "Actually, I have always been quite desperate. Until yesterday, I was still the first person to learn computers.
Once again, let’s play our role as a student of the Fa.”
"I have to say, this had a great impact on me." He ate the pancakes very quickly and accidentally burned his mouth. He couldn't help but sucked in a few breaths of cold air. "I feel that I can't continue to be confused in the future.
To get by, at least we should start by changing our own social fears, go out little by little, and help more people."
"Don't you regret giving up the computer?" Li Xiao asked.
"Although I can't study openly, I am still taking classes in the interesting computer major." Mo Jie's expression became lively, with a hint of pride in his eyes. "My grades are pretty good. I plan to double major in the future, and my family also agrees."
The vivid expression on Mo Jie's face made Li Xiao sigh with emotion.
"By the way, Brother Li, how did you first think of becoming a food anchor?" Mo Jie asked.
This question made Cheng Wei, who was sitting opposite, also curious.
"I was planning to try to be a food anchor..." Li Xiao's eyes were far away as he began to recall the first time he took the exam for broadcasting. "But he came to a store and got food poisoning after eating something and was sent to the hospital.
I went there, and later I found out that I accidentally exposed a illegal shop."
"It's probably just this kind of thing, and then I got the support of the audience all the way." And the existence of the system allowed him to go further and further in the food live broadcast.
"Both young men are people with stories." Cheng Wei took out his pocket and seemed to be planning to light a cigarette, but he immediately put down his hand after seeing his daughter sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye.
"I am just an ordinary e-commerce operator. Before yesterday, I never thought that one day I would deal with a top law student and programmer, and a food anchor."
"Perhaps, this is God's will in the dark." Li Xiao sighed softly.
The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all laughed in unison.
The barrages in the live broadcast room started to appear densely as early as when Li Xiao was doing his first live broadcast:
"With tears in my eyes, I have been accompanying the anchor until now, and I have become an old fan without realizing it!"
"At that time, I was still in the live broadcast room watching the anchor's confused expression after waking up in the hospital, hahaha!"
"I didn't expect the anchor to be such a sentimental person!"
"I'm a new fan. When I heard the anchor introduce it like this, I felt so moved. What's going on?"
"Did I discover the treasure anchor?"
As he talked, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly turned into the kind of chatter mode that should be accompanied by clinking glasses with beer and food.
A few people reminisced about their past efforts, and a large pot of "rolled chicken" that only two people could carry was brought to the dining table.
Chicken roll is a very famous delicacy in the northwest region. It is simple to make and delicious. It can be said that many families here will make this dish when they want to show off their skills during festivals or when entertaining guests.
Chicken roll is a very famous delicacy in Zhangye area, and the specific preparation is actually not difficult.
Chop the killed chicken into pieces, add ginger slices and cooking wine to the pot and bring to a boil. During this period, prepare the condiments: garlic slices, ginger slices, spicy diced millet, green pepper rings, beans, and cut potatoes into cubes.
Skim off the foam in the pot, drain the chicken into cold water, add oil, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, red pepper, and green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, then add chicken and stir-fry, add dark soy sauce, potatoes, and beans
After frying until it changes color, add a lot of water and turn to medium to low heat and start to simmer.
At this time, you can start kneading the dough to make the dough. Roll it out into a large basin-sized dough, spread it out, sprinkle with scallion oil and chopped green onions, roll it into a cylinder, and cut it into 1 cm long wide rolls. Add it to the pot with the chicken.
Stew together.
Cook the rolls until the soup completely changes color, sprinkle with shredded green peppers and onions, and a pot of chicken rolls is ready.
As soon as the chicken rolls were brought to the table and the lid of the pot was opened, the fragrant smell of the soup instantly rushed into the nostrils of several people.
Even the dumpling playing in the little girl's arms immediately turned his head to the big basin in front of him.
The rolls, chicken, and potato pieces are indistinguishable at first glance in the pot. Green, red, orange, purple, and white onions and green peppers are a very good embellishment for this roll chicken.
"Let's eat!" Cheng Wei sniffed and waved his hand.
Li Xiao picked up the serving chopsticks and put a paper roll into his bowl.
The round roll has countless thick rolls in the middle. Use chopsticks to peel it apart. Each layer is dyed the rich yellow color of the soup.
After taking a sip, Li Xiao gave a thumbs up in surprise.
"The rolls taste amazing, I almost feel like I'm eating chicken." Li Xiao nodded while eating, "It has a very rich chicken flavor, but it doesn't lose the taste, texture, and flexibility of a roll.
"
Take out another piece of chicken, this one is the thigh meat, with a thick ring of meat wrapped around the middle bone.
"It's actually difficult to control the heat of this dish." Li Xiao showed the chicken on his chopsticks in front of the camera, "Because almost the whole process is stewing. If you are not careful, it is easy to over-stew, which will cause
Let the meat come out and the texture will taste old."
"For example, the piece I have on my hand is a bit lucky. The meat has been cooked to loosen up, but it has not completely fallen off. Let's try how the chicken here tastes."
The chicken will not break when you bite into it, and the ends are still connected to the tendons on the bones.
"The chicken tastes soft and waxy. Compared with the texture of the roll, the chewy texture feels more like pasta."
Li Xiao gently pulled it with chopsticks, and a whole piece of meat was peeled off.
“The heat is controlled very well. It’s worthy of being said to be an old restaurant that has been making roll chicken for 30 years!”
After tasting the rolls and chicken, he took a spoon and scooped out some of the other things in the pot, along with the steaming soup.
"The taste of the potatoes is very soft, and it is soaked with the aroma of the rolled chicken. With a slight spiciness, it tastes comparable to Michelin mashed potatoes. Han Chinese style mashed potatoes!"
"The beans are stewed until they are soft and soft. The pods are average, but the beans inside are great."
“It’s soft and bouncy and very refreshing.”
Li Xiao was commenting while eating, and the contents of the bowl quickly reached the bottom.
A small bowl of brown soup with a little sediment.
He picked up the bowl and took a small sip.
"The soup tastes very fragrant without any fishy smell. It feels like a hodgepodge of chicken soup, onions, potatoes, and beans. The taste of these main ingredients also adds a spiciness."
"The taste of pepper is very obvious. One bowl will warm your stomach, body and heart."
"It's so amazing!" Li Xiao, who was full of surprise, gave his score: "I am willing to give this chicken roll a high score of 95 points!"

Studio:
"So greedy, so greedy, so greedy!"
"The anchor's eyes narrowed after drinking the soup. Is this serious?"
"This is a great trip for the anchor! The chicken rolls in Zhangye are the most authentic and delicious!"
"Seeing the host eating chicken so much, the m marks on my hands are no longer fragrant!"
“I felt that this store is very different from the moment I walked in. I didn’t expect that the chicken rolls are also top-notch!”
"It's so dry! I didn't know there was such a store when I visited Zhangye before. They only serve 'authentic Zhangye food' from the small stalls I saw on the roadside..."
"I understand. Next time you go to Zhangye, you must meet a Zhangye local!"
"The child is so greedy that he cries."
The barrage completely submerged the mobile phone screen, and Li Xiao was still eating happily.
"Master, master!" Li Xiao, who was immersed in eating, suddenly heard Tuanzi's voice.
Li Xiao looked towards the little girl and saw it waving its two claws towards him.
"Jiujiu, I'm hungry!" Seeing Tuanzi looking at him eagerly, Li Xiao felt a sense of guilt welling up in his heart.
He turned around and took out a basin of milk from his backpack, took the Jiujiu from the little girl's arms, took off the lid and fed the dumplings.
After finishing a basin of milk, Jiujiu made another request to go to the bathroom. Li Xiao nodded to the others and took him towards the bathroom.
"You Corgi is so spiritual!"
When Li Xiao came back, the two adults and one child looked at the dumplings in Li Xiao's arms with envious expressions.
"Just develop a habit." Li Xiao explained with a smile.
It’s impossible to say that he can understand Chiu Jiu’s words, animal language is at the nth level, right?
