Chapter 163: Eating Hot Pot

Back in Jinjiang Community, Li Yan entered the live broadcast room, inadvertently glanced at the upper left corner, and found that the number of points had exceeded the 100,000 mark at some point, which means that he has been promoted to a third-level anchor.

The level will increase by one level, and the audience in the live broadcast room will add another dynasty.

Above the Ming Dynasty was the Yuan Dynasty, which was a relatively short-lived dynasty with a limited increase in the number of spectators. Li Yan didn't pay much attention to it.

The fourth-level anchor needs 500,000 points, and Li Yan is still 400,000 short, he calculated, even if he can increase 5,000 points every time he broadcasts, it will take at least 80 days to advance.

He only broadcasts live every day or two now, and if he wants to be promoted to level four, he is afraid that it will take more than half a year to have a chance.

"Thanks to the old irons for their great support during this time, Xiaoshuai was successfully promoted to a third-level anchor and decided to eat hot pot tonight to celebrate!" Li Yan said to Mai.

Hot pot is not new. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a way to eat hot pot, and it gradually became popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the types of hot pot ingredients were not as rich as they are now.

The kitchen is equipped with all kinds of utensils, including electric pots for cooking hot pots. Seeing that the time was almost dinner, Li Yan took out the hot pot ingredients in the refrigerator.

Zheng Banqiao: "When the old man was alive, he had to eat a hot pot every three or five days, which was really delicious in the world!"

Pu Songling: "More than 200 years have passed. I don't know what the hot pot is like now. ”

Li Yan didn't know much about how to eat hot pot, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he boiled the water, poured it into the hot pot soup base, and poured the tribute balls, crab meat sticks, hot dogs, and so on into it.

These things have just been taken out of the refrigerator, they are not easy to cook, and they need to be cooked for a while, if they are not fully cooked, it will not be good to have diarrhea after eating.

Zhang Tingyu: "May I ask what kind of food did the little handsome anchor pour into the pot just now?"

"Fish balls are called crab sticks, red and white meatballs are called gong balls, and white flakes are called fish tofu, all of which are very delicious ingredients. Li Yan rubbed his hands and said, swallowing his saliva from time to time.

In just a few minutes, he could already smell the aroma coming from the pot.

Tang Bohu: "What are the names, it's weird." ”

Hehe laughed twice. Li Yan pointed the camera at the tumbling hot pot, the lid of which was made of transparent glass, so that he could see the scene inside.

"Although the names of these ingredients are weird, they are definitely delicious and delicious, and I have time to give some to the old iron to try. ”

Gong Zizhen: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better for the handsome anchor to send this pot of food down, let me wait to taste one or two." ”

Huang Zongxi: "This is true, the anchor is eating delicious, but let me wait and watch, it's not the work of a kind person!"

Li Yan couldn't cry or laugh, he knew that he wouldn't show off in the live broadcast room, and the public was angry, so he had to admit: "In this case, when the food is cooked thoroughly, Xiaoshuai will take it into the bowl and send it to the old iron." ”

Watch the fish balls swell up when they are cooked, and they are almost edible. Li Yan opened the lid of the pot, and suddenly a white steam rose.

Put the balls into a bowl with a colander and fill a whole big bowl, Li Yan re-filled the hot pot ingredients, boiled three pots in a row, and sent them all to the underground.

There are not many hot pot ingredients left, Li Yan solved it by himself, and saw that many viewers in the comment column were praising the hot pot ingredients for being delicious.

Zheng Banqiao: "Human creativity is really strong enough to create such a delicacy. ”

Pu Songling: "May I ask the little handsome anchor, the old man just ate a round ball, and when he bit into it, the soup burst out, and his mouth was full of mellow flavor in an instant, I don't know what the ball is?"

Li Yan raised his head slightly and thought about it, and when he bit it down, it burst out of the soup, isn't that just peeing fish balls?

Raising his eyebrows, Li Yan asked strangely, "Lao Tie really wants to know the name of that ball?" I'm afraid that you won't have an appetite after you know it." ”

Pu Songling: "The anchor just said, no matter how weird the name is, it won't affect the old man's appetite." ”

Half a minute later, Pu Songling regretted asking this question, as Li Yan said. Knowing the name Peeing Fish Balls, he immediately lost his appetite.

Zhang Tingyu: "The old man also ate a peeing fish ball, don't say it, the name is apt enough." ”

Li Ershao in the capital: "Ben Shao has a soft spot for that crab meat stick, and the rich crab flavor is fragrant, but unfortunately the portion is too small." ”

Wen Zhengming: "How can you enjoy food without wine, the old man respects the handsome anchor with a cup!"

Wen Zhengming took the lead in rewarding a wave of wine, and other viewers also followed suit to give small gifts.

Watching the points rise gradually, Li Yan was secretly happy in his heart, these hot pot ingredients were not given away in vain, the total cost was less than fifty yuan, and he exchanged twenty or thirty glasses of wine, this business was worth it!

Meng Po: "The old woman seems to be a step late, did she miss any wonderful shows?"

Zheng Banqiao: "Meng Po did come a little late, not to miss the wonderful show, but to miss the best food. ”

Li Yan immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you're late, there are still some hot pot ingredients in Xiaoshuai's refrigerator, I will send them down to Lao Tie, the hot pot method is not difficult, everyone can play their cooking skills at will." ”

Meng Po: "The teddy dogs and huskies sent by the anchor are too toss-up. It took the old woman a long time to clean up the cold house, and these two little ancestors were really a headache. ”

Li Yan: "...; …;”

If it is really easy to change the nature of the country and difficult to change, Erha and Teddy are still that virtuous and lack of discipline when they go to the underworld.

Look at the three teddies in the family, they were managed to death by Xiaobai, and they didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Li Yan packed the remaining hot pot ingredients in the refrigerator and sent them all to the prefecture, and also came with three packs of hot pot bases with different flavors. As for how to divide it, that's none of his business.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dark, and there were still interviews for two chefs at eight o'clock, Li Yan cleaned up and rushed to the fake taste restaurant.

Seeing the real taste on the other side, Li Yan suddenly had a whim and walked in for a walk.

The business in the store is actually quite passable, and there are a few tables of diners in the hall, but it is a little more deserted than expected.

There is also a real taste branch near Funing University, and the business is much more prosperous than here, Li Yan knows that this is affected by the fake taste, and the business has been divided by more than half.

The store manager's hair is turning gray. He thought that he could hold on for a while, but he still underestimated the lethality of fake taste, and after only two days of opening, he snatched some of the regular customers of real taste.

He has no choice, unless he can poach the other party's chef, the business of Zhenwei will only get worse day by day, and he will not be able to do price reduction promotions.

Zhou Zhenye has been keeping an eye on the store's business, and its turnover has dropped by a third compared to the past. He sensed a strong sense of threat.

If you let the fake taste grow, sooner or later it will achieve the status of the real taste in the catering industry, which is what Zhou Zhenye does not want to see.

"Wang Ke, you have found an opportunity to get in touch with the fake chef in the past two days, and dig people up for me at all costs!" Zhou Zhenye ordered to Vice President Wang Ke.

"Chairman, is this really possible?" asked Wang Ke uncertainly.

Slowly got up and walked to the window, Zhou Zhenye took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, did not light it immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has a price, as long as the benefits are enough, I think he will agree." ”

After observing the real taste for a while, Li Yan Shi Shiran left and walked into the fake taste restaurant, which was another scene.

Before the dinner rush had passed, the hall was already full, and a small number of diners could not grab a seat, so they had to pack and take away.

Li Yan went straight to the back kitchen, Ma Chengyan was so busy that he didn't notice the boss coming in at all.

"Uncle Ma, go and rest for a while, I'll take care of you for a while. Li Yan snatched the spatula and smiled.

"You can count it, today's business is more hot than yesterday, listening to Xiao Xie at the cashier's desk, before half past four, all the private rooms were booked, I have been busy until now, and I have not stopped for a moment. Ma Chengyan stood aside and gasped and said.

Don't look at cooking as a physical job, turning the shovel and iron pot for a long time is also a great test of endurance and arm strength, and it is absolutely unbearable without a little strength.

Li Yan's movements are more skilled than Ma Chengyan, a plate of braised large yellow croaker is quickly out of the pot, and it is none other than Bai Suyun who came to help.

As long as she gets off work in the past two days, she will come over non-stop as a free temporary worker to repay the favors owed to Li Yan.

Waiting for her to bring the dishes over, Li Yan said while brushing the pot: "Uncle Ma, you help me persuade Su Yun to resign and help in the restaurant, and I will keep the position of store manager for her." ”

Of course, Ma Chengyan hopes to work with his daughter, but he is still worried: "Su Yun has no relevant work experience for such an important position as a store manager, can she do it?"

"Don't underestimate your daughter, although Su Yun has never been a store manager, I believe she can do it. Li Yan said with certainty.
