Chapter 4: Egg Cake and Fish Congee
The next day, after Ruan Tang got up and washed, he used his optical brain to log in to the background of the live broadcast, transferred yesterday's earnings to his account, and then went to the shopping mall to buy some new ingredients .
He has never been a person who treats himself badly. Even if it is breakfast, he doesn't want to settle for it. Anyway, the cooking process can be broadcast live, which can not only fill his stomach, but also use it to make money.
This time he bought fish, chives, ginger, flour, soy sauce, and a bag of sugar, which cost him more than two hundred renminbi at once, but he didn't feel distressed at all, and he would earn it back soon anyway.
He is going to make sashimi porridge and scallion omelette today. The porridge is for himself, and the omelette will be given to the audience as a gift.
The speed of Interstellar Express was still as fast as ever. Ruan Tang checked and found that the ingredients were all fresh, so he put all the ingredients that might be used in a while on the cooking table, then put on the invisible live broadcast glasses and entered the live broadcast room.
"Good morning, everyone. I'm the anchor Ruan Tang. Today I'm going to make sashimi porridge and scallion egg pancakes." Ruan Tang made a simple opening speech as usual, and was about to start cooking. The scene made him stunned.
[Little Transparent Ming: Wow! It's on! It's on! I have been waiting for a long time!]
[Qibao: Although I haven't eaten what the anchor said, I somehow think it's delicious! [Saliva.jpg]]
[Baomu can't hold it: qwq, I would say that I started squatting early in the morning?]
[Jiu Yue: While the boss is going to a meeting, watch the live broadcast secretly for a while]
Ruan Tang subconsciously glanced at the number of people online at the bottom left, there were more than two hundred, and it was still increasing. I was worried that there would be no audience at this time, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people. Did something happen after he fell asleep yesterday?
[I am addicted to eating and broadcasting and can't extricate myself: I came in from the recommended position, won't the anchor make potatoes today?]
Recommended place?
There are a lot of recommendation spots on the homepage of the Jinjiang live broadcasting platform. The different channels at the bottom are mainly ranked by popularity, while the scrolling advertisement column at the top is manually recommended. Ruan Tang remembered that when he logged off yesterday, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a system message, but he was in a hurry to drink porridge at the time, and thought it was a usual welcome text message, so he didn't care. Now it seems that it may be because he made potatoes yesterday. New ingredients, so the website made a recommendation for his live recording.
Quickly figuring out where this sudden increase in popularity came from, Ruan Tang explained to the questioning audience: "I don't make potatoes today, what I'm going to do is sashimi porridge and scallion egg pancakes." He slightly Turning around, he directed the audience to look at the ingredients on the cooking table, "The main ingredients to be used are fish and eggs."
[Meow doesn't eat fish: Oh my god! fish? Is this stuff really edible...it tastes horrible! Look at my name! I hate fish!]
[Fenghua Xueyue: That's right, the fish is really fishy, and there is a bunch of slimy things inside, it's disgusting. And I heard that a one-star chef was cooking fish at home a few days ago, but got stuck in his throat with a fishbone and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.]
[Addicted to eating and broadcasting and can't extricate himself: Yesterday was potatoes, today is fish, didn't they deliberately engage in these things to cheat the recommendation?]
The homepage of Jinjiang Live has always liked to recommend these niche and novel things, especially in terms of food. Now the government is vigorously promoting the use of natural foods instead of synthetic nutrient solutions. Those who dare to challenge new ingredients are given special treatment. The website naturally likes to recommend these things. Therefore, there have also been a group of people who took risks for the sake of popularity and deliberately picked chefs. Food anchors who use the ingredients they make to attract attention, but without exception, they all failed in the end.
[Mixia: Challenged difficult ingredients for two consecutive days, I hope the host is not just sensationalizing.]
Although the words were blunt, the audience named "Mixia" still smashed a crystal flower. In yesterday's live broadcast, she also smashed six crystal flowers at once, which brought a lot of benefits to Ruan Tang.
Seeing the crystal flowers blooming on the screen, Ruan Tang suddenly became motivated. He smiled slightly: "Is it a sensationalist? You will know when I finish." Be attentive to the fish in your hand.
Ruan Tang bought only the most common grass carp. Grass carp is relatively delicate in texture, large in size and has fewer intermuscular thorns. It is quite good for steaming or boiling, and it is more than enough for porridge.
The grass carp he bought was relatively strong, with a bulging body. When it was taken out of the crisper, it was still wagging its tail, making water splashes, which immediately caused panic among the audience in the live broadcast room. Ruan Tang comforted them in a gentle voice, holding its body firmly with his left hand, pressing it to the cutting board, and then slapping it with the kitchen knife, knocking it out neatly, and then began to scrape the scales.
Everyone in the live broadcast room had obviously never seen this battle before, watching the fat grass carp that had fainted being caught in the host's thin palm, the blade stabbed and slashed, and the scales flew away one by one When I came out, goose bumps all over my body, and I couldn't help shivering a little.
[Qibao: Damn...I...I feel sore.]
[Xiao Qingming: I am also... scared, but the scales on the fish should not be eaten, they are very hard and have a weird taste. It should be ready to eat after shaving the fish scales.]
[Fenghua Xueyue: Oh my god-what is this for? ]
They saw Ruan Tang cut open the belly of the fish neatly, and took out all the internal organs of the fish.
[Flying at low altitude: Oh my god! Even a combat madman like Major General He would not do such a cruel thing! The fish is already dead, is it interesting to torture it like this!]
Ruan Tang was amused by this barrage, and couldn't help but said, "I didn't mean to torture it. The internal organs of the fish contain a lot of impurities, especially the fish gallbladder. If it is broken, the whole fish will become bitter and fishy, so It must be removed."
With his movements, a little mucus flowed out from the grass carp's body, and Ruan Tang washed the blood and black film in the belly of the fish with warm water, and did the initial deodorization, and then put the fish back on the cutting board.
Because he was going to make fish fillet porridge, he cut off the unused fish head, then pressed the fish body with his hands, sliced off the two flaps of the fish, and removed the large thorn in the abdomen, then put the fish tail on the left side, and put the right hand on it. Holding the knife, the sharp tip of the knife dipped into the fish lightly, and a thin protrusion was pushed out of the fish skin, but it did not pierce it. Instead, the blade was turned around again, and the sliced fish was thin and transparent, in the shape of two pieces. Like the wings of a butterfly, it is called a double fly piece.
He moved skillfully, raised and lowered the knife without any hesitation, and quickly sliced out half a bowl of thin fish fillets.
"Okay, after this treatment, you don't have to worry about the fish bones." Ruan Tang added shredded ginger, cooking oil and salt to the fish fillets, stirred them to taste and put them aside.
Fish porridge is not difficult to make, it's just a simple porridge for warming the stomach. Ruan Tang scoured a small bowl of rice, boiled it with water, put it in sashimi, and left it alone.
"Fish fillets are easy to cook, so let's just cook them for a while." Ruan Tang set the cooking time, and then took out another pan, "Next, let's make scallion egg pancakes."
He took four and break the eggs into a bowl and stir well, then put the chopped shallots in. The golden egg liquid is paired with green onions, and it looks quite attractive before it even enters the pot.
Ruan Tang took a larger bowl, filled half a bag of flour, added warm water and stirred it into a paste, then dipped some batter with chopsticks and explained to everyone: "Don't put too much water, the batter should be dripped continuously like this. It's better to make a batter, otherwise it may affect the taste of the omelet."
Then he poured the egg liquid and salt into the batter, and stirred it until it was completely integrated before starting to heat the pan.
Brushed a layer of oil on the pan, and after the pan gradually heated up, he poured in two more spoonfuls of egg batter, and then turned his wrist to spread the batter evenly on the bottom of the pan.
The mellow aroma unique to eggs gradually spread out, making all the audience in the live broadcast room impatient to get closer.
[Meow Meow doesn't eat fish: It smells so good! My saliva is about to flow out, it seems to be more delicious than yesterday's potato pancakes!]
[Baomu can't hold it: And it's much bigger than potato pancakes!]
[Fenghua Xueyue: Can I eat it? Is it ready to eat?]
"Wait a little longer..." Ruan Tang said, using the shovel in his hand to scoop up the omelet that was stuck to the bottom of the pan along the edge, and then flipped the omelette over with a flip of the spoon. On the front, the neat movement immediately caused the barrage to scream again.
[Xiao Qingming: What did the anchor do just now? Is it the legendary kung fu of the ancient earth era?]
Ruan Tang laughed: "It's not kung fu, it's just the basic skills of cooking."
Mi Xia said: [Basic skills? In the restaurants I went to, I didn't see any masters who would do this.]
Eggs are easy to cook, and Ruan Tang's cakes are spread thinly, so the egg cakes are cooked quickly. In order to make the egg cakes taste the best, Ruan Tang has been keeping an eye on the heat.
When both sides of the omelette were slightly browned, Ruan Tang immediately took action, quickly cut it into several small pieces with a shovel, and then shoveled it into the plate next to it.
"Okay, everyone can try the omelette now."
In fact, it would be best if you could sprinkle a little sesame on it, Ruan Tang thought regretfully. However, the current omelette has greatly satisfied the audience staying here. The scallion oil omelette has a slight burnt aroma. The outer layer is burnt and crispy, and the inner layer is soft. It also has a little sweetness of flour. When you bite down, you can even feel the sticky noodles being torn apart. The pulling force instantly refreshed their views on the two ingredients of eggs and green onions. .
[Qibao: delicious, delicious, delicious! Simply can not stop!]
Before they could make more comments, another lighter but richer scent swept their nostrils again. The fish porridge had already been cooked, and Ruan Tang gently lifted the lid, and the sweet smell of fish meat and rice fragrance immediately permeated.
The audience's expectations for fish porridge are not as high as egg pancakes. After all, Ruan Tang's cooking techniques are too cruel for these interstellar people who don't even know how to scrape the scales when eating fish, causing them to look at the pot now The eyes are a little wary. But when the rich aroma rushed out along with the heat, everyone couldn't help but put down the egg pancakes in their hands, and swallowed desperately in the direction of the fish porridge.
Ruan Tang took out a small white porcelain bowl and scooped some fish porridge into the bowl with a spoon. The fish fillets that were still a little flesh-colored just now had turned pure white, and the white rice had been boiled until soft and tender. A thin layer of rice fat floated on top.
The audience in the live broadcast room swallowed their saliva one after another.
[Qibao: I feel...it might be delicious.]
[Miaomiao doesn't eat fish: I have a hunch that I may have to change my name... I, my mouth is a little out of control...]
Sprinkled some green onions on the porridge, Ruan Tang brought the porridge bowl to the table, Slightly smiled and said, "Okay, let's try the fish porridge together. I just ate egg pancakes, and drinking a bowl of porridge can help remove oil. It's very comfortable."
[Meow doesn't eat fish: I Can't help it!]
She couldn't help howling in grief and indignation, and then rushed forward swiftly, not even bothering to pick up the spoon, and directly picked up the bowl and started to eat.
[Miaomiao doesn't eat fish: ah-it's delicious!]
[Baomu can't hold on: Oh my god-the tongue is about to fall off qwq The more you eat, the hungrier you get, please the anchor to open a shop, blah blah!]
Smooth and tender fish fillets melt in your mouth, paired with soft, glutinous and fragrant rice porridge, it will leave your teeth and cheeks fragrant, especially the small layer of black fish skin sticking in the middle of the fish fillets is incredibly smooth and tender. The moment the tip of the tongue licks is simply mesmerizing.
Everyone was indulging in the delicious taste of fish porridge, and the live broadcast room was quiet for a while, and no one spoke. It wasn't until a minute later that someone gradually came to their senses and started throwing gifts at the anchor. Dozens of crystal flowers bloomed one after another in this small live broadcast room, and some people buried their heads back to eat immediately after casting flowers.
[Miao Miao doesn't eat fish: I decided to change my name to Miao Miao loves to eat fish! How could it be so delicious? Woooooo...]
While everyone was fascinated by the charm of fish porridge, Ruan Tang picked up a piece of egg pancake and tasted it. Although the taste was very good, he always felt that there was something missing. The omelets sold on the street that I have eaten before will be coated with a thick layer of sweet noodle sauce, but the future world does not sell them. If you want to eat them, it seems that you can only make them yourself.
Ruan Tang took out another bowl, poured an appropriate amount of flour into it, added water and mixed thoroughly, then added soy sauce and sugar, poured it into a frying pan that was still warm, heated it at a low temperature, and stirred quickly at the same time.
When the sauce boiled until small bubbles appeared, he tasted the sauce with chopsticks and found it was still a bit bland, so he added another spoonful of sugar and half a spoonful of soy sauce.
[Xiao Qingming: What is the anchor doing?]
[Miaomiao doesn't eat fish: This slimy color looks so ugly, is it also a cake?]
[Qibao: Can this be eaten too? It seems that there are no eggs.]
"I made this dipping sauce. You can spread it on egg pancakes and eat it later. The taste will be even better." Ruan Tang kept stirring in the pot with chopsticks until he felt that the taste was about the same. It finally stopped.
He found a small spoon, poured a spoonful of sweet bean sauce on the egg pancake, and signaled everyone to taste it again. This time, the taste is more intense than the scallion pancake just now, with a different kind of salty, sweet and waxy taste, which makes people want to swallow their tongues together.
[Baomu can't hold it: delicious, delicious, delicious!]
[Miaomiao doesn't eat fish: This sauce looks ugly, but it tastes too delicious! Better than the tomato sauce sold outside!]
Ruan Tang said: "Thank you for the gifts everyone gave. Today, three lucky viewers will still be drawn, and each will be given an egg pancake and a small dish of sweet noodle sauce." It can't be compared, whether you can win or not depends entirely on luck.
Ruan Tang directly activated the lucky draw function in the background of the live broadcast, and the names of all online users in the live broadcast room were flying around Ruan Tang like snowflakes. Tang's eyes suddenly flew out, with a golden shimmer, while the other names were hidden again.
"Congratulations to Flying Low, Qibao, and ID72648. I'll make three fresh egg pancakes and deliver them to you later. Please remember to check."
[Flying Low: Thank you, the host! Bury colorful fireworks and blast the host out!]
Gorgeous fireworks exploded on the screen, looking very beautiful, after the fireworks fell, they turned into crystal clear crystal beads and fell to the ground.
A pink translucent system prompt appears in the center of the screen, "The user flies at low altitude to give the anchor a colorful firework, click here to go to live broadcast room to pick up a small crystal!"
The colorful firework is a gift worth 1,000 GM coins. A large number of small crystals worth 2 GM coins and a crystal heart worth 500 GM coins will be dropped when gifting, and trigger a full-channel announcement. Click on the announcement to go directly to the live broadcast room, which is an effective tool for accumulating popularity.
The number of people online in Ruan Tang's live broadcast room skyrocketed again.
