"Wash the snails, add chopped ginger and onions, add a little cooking wine, add an appropriate amount of chicken powder and ginger slices, marinate for 15 minutes."

"While marinating, put 80% of the sea salt and a handful of Sichuan peppercorns into the casserole. The sea salt needs to be stir-fried constantly, otherwise the sea salt at the bottom will burn and give off a burnt smell."

"After frying the sea salt for three or four minutes, you can turn down the heat to medium-low and wait for the marinating time of the snails to end."

"Put the pickled snails on the surface of the sea salt, cover the pot, turn to the lowest heat and bake for 20 minutes before serving."

Having said this, Li Xiao picked up the towel next to him to wipe his hands on, opened the lid of the casserole, and didn't even need to use his hands to fan it.

A strong aroma of Huadiao wine and the smell of the ocean hit my face.

The reason why we say the smell of the ocean is because after the sea salt is fried, it will emit a smell that is unique to the sea salt itself.

The smell of the ocean, to describe it specifically, is a bit like the feeling of running naked on the endless beach in the early morning sunshine.

After the snails are baked with salt, this smell will be amplified geometrically.

And because a large amount of cooking wine, sand ginger and ginger slices are added to the pickled snails, the fishy smell of the snails can be suppressed to a minimum.

However, in fact, the fishy smell of fresh snails itself is not very strong. After marinating with cooking wine and sand ginger, the fishy smell becomes lighter. As long as people are not too sensitive, they should not be able to detect it.

He picked up a bamboo stick placed next to the casserole, casually dug into the sea salt like a radish, and pulled out a flower snail.

There was still a little sea salt on the snails, and Li Xiao gently swept it with his fingers. He swept away most of the sea salt without caring, and there was still a little bit of finely crushed sea salt stuck to it.

Gently use a bamboo skewer to open the lid of the snail, and gently poke the long bamboo skewer into the meat of the snail.

Hold the shell of the snail with your hand, twist it gently, and the meat of the snail will be brought out by the bamboo skewer.

Li Xiao's technique is very good, and the meat left on the bamboo stick is very complete.

He handed the snail meat to the front of the live broadcast room.

"Although the meat of flower snails is delicious, not all of it can be eaten."

Li Xiao's finger pointed at the colorful viscera at the tail of the snail.

"Of course, strictly speaking, they are all edible, but they are not delicious, and there are a lot of dirty things in the Civil War regiment, as well as trace amounts of shellfish toxins. Eating too much may cause physical discomfort."

After speaking, Li Xiao pinched off the tail, and what was left was a complete piece of snail meat. He killed the snail meat directly into his mouth.

The salt-baked snails have a strong aroma of sea salt and sand ginger. The original fresh meat of the snails is already very firm, but after salt-baking, the meat becomes more elastic.

The firm snail meat becomes more and more fragrant the more you chew it in your mouth, and the rich snail flavor fills your entire mouth in an instant.

Li Xiao stretched out his thumb and pointed at the screen.

"It's pretty good, but there seems to be a little too much crushed ginger here, so the ginger flavor takes away the limelight of the flower snails."

This salt-baked snail comes with a small plate of ginger sauce made with ginger powder and sesame oil. However, Li Xiao likes to eat the original flavor, so he did not choose to dip the first snail in the sauce.

Now this pot of snails has a very strong taste of ginger. If I add ginger sauce, I will only taste the taste of ginger.

After swallowing the snail in his mouth, Li Xiao said to the live broadcast room,

"This snail is a bit out of standard. If I were to rate it, I would probably only give it a passing score. The taste of sand ginger is too strong. It's such a pity. The snails cost more than 120 yuan here, and they were wasted like this.

Already."

He was a little helpless, but the dishes were ready, and it was the other party's choice as to how to judge.

Li Xiao couldn't blame the other party's cooking method. It was normal to add ginger in salt baking, but the other party added a little too much.

After all, this is just a three-star restaurant, so it is normal for some minor problems to arise.

In fact, he has already planned for unexpected events. Not to mention three-star restaurants, even four- and five-star restaurants may have some flaws.

Not to mention that it only has three stars, but fortunately, the flaws are not hidden, and this meal was quite good.

The stir-fried cabbage with garlic paste was also cooked to a perfect temperature, so Li Xiao had no intention of troubling the picky opponent.

After eating the last snail, Li Xiao packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Just after walking a few steps, I heard the sound of arguing coming from the direction of the cashier.

"The Eastern Star Spot just now was so small, how could it weigh 4 and a half pounds?"

"Also, didn't I just say that lobster costs 368 yuan per catty? Why did it become 668 yuan per catty at checkout? A lobster costs more than 3,000? It's a money grab!!! Is this a black shop? I've already

Call the police and wait."

Li Xiao quickly stopped leaving and hid next to a pillar.

The camera peeked out secretly.

The live broadcast room immediately exploded.

"Good guy, good guy, I didn't expect there would be an extra program after dinner, I almost missed it."

"You guys are too young. When the anchor debuted, he was called Detective Li Xiao. It would be too strange if you don't show one or two things every time you broadcast."

"That's right, that's right. The anchor is now a little more popular and doesn't cause trouble everywhere. He used to be very wild."

"Are you playing very wildly? Does anyone have a video and send it to me? I have a network disk."

"Yes, yes, I have a friend who also wants those very wild videos. I'll help him get the seeds."

Li Xiao was speechless looking at the scenes in his live broadcast room.

The people who quarreled with the store were the three middle-aged men he saw when he walked in. They looked like big bosses with big bellies.

He sighed and they must have been slaughtered, but their performance was too good. If they don't kill such top-notch sheep, the boss probably won't be able to sleep.

However, the opponent was not a bully and immediately started to counterattack.

Li Xiao has no plans to leave. After all, watching the excitement is everyone’s favorite thing to do.

If you can earn a lot of popularity and rewards by doing nothing, why not? If you don’t add fuel to the fire, it doesn’t violate any moral integrity.

I just heard the argument continue over there.

"Also, why do our [Sea Urchin Steamed Eggs] only have eggs but no sea urchins, and each sea urchin is so expensive at 38 yuan? You said a [sea urchin steamed egg] is 38 yuan, but there is no sea urchin, so I'll forget it. You are now

[Sea urchin steamed egg] is 38 yuan per customer. Our table of 10 people ate 380 yuan just for this steamed egg. Isn’t it a bit outrageous?”

There was an uproar from the people around. Indeed, 380 yuan for a steamed egg is a bit expensive, regardless of whether it contains sea urchin or not, it is very outrageous.

Li Xiao secretly clicked his tongue, the boss's machete must have cut too deep.

"Hey, boss, what you said is outrageous. The sea urchins worth 38 yuan each were hand-picked by you. We opened them on the spot. You ladies saw them before we steamed them."

The pot-bellied boss frowned. It was indeed his secretary who personally supervised them. He frowned and asked the woman wearing red down and heavy makeup beside him.

"Xiaojie, are you sure he opened all the sea urchins we picked?"

The secretary known as Xiaojie nodded,

"Indeed, a total of 10 were opened. I watched him open them with my own eyes."

Xiaojie was a little scared. How could she have time to read this thing? He had been sending messages to other people just now and didn't see what was going on at all.

However, she would definitely not dare to say it. If she did, she would probably be scolded, or even whipped in the evening.

The fat boss was about to say something else, but the boss standing behind the cashier immediately spoke first.

"And the bosses can't say that we are asking for arbitrary prices. We have made it very clear. You are looking at the à la carte prices. Every variety of seafood here has a clearly marked price, and the chef of our seafood pool

But after asking you several times, you agreed before we fished it out. You watched us weigh it with your own eyes, how can you say we weighed it less?"

"And how can such a big Eastern Star Spot weigh more than 4 and a half kilograms? You have to know that for a 4 and a half kilogram fish, it is good to kill more than three kilograms."

The fat boss's eyes widened and he gestured with his fingers to indicate the size of the fish plate.

"The problem is that even after you kill the fish, it's not more than three kilograms. Look at how small the plate is, and the fish still won't be able to hold it. It's up to you to see for yourself."

"Boss, you're telling us the fish is small now that you've finished eating. Isn't that right? If you think it's small at first, we'll weigh it immediately as soon as it's served. If it's really small, then there's nothing to say. I'll give you a free order directly.

, now you have eaten all the food and then you tell us less, how can you do that?"

The dispute between several people reached a fever pitch. At this time, several officers from the Security Department hurried in from the door.

As soon as he entered the door, the smile on the boss's face became even brighter. He reached into his pocket and took out a handful of cigarettes, ready to distribute them to the three security department officers who came in.

The leader of the security division operator raised his hand to block

"No, no, no, no. I can't smoke cigarettes. Who can call the police?"

He looked around and his eyes quickly fell on the people in front of the cashier.

According to his many years of experience in handling cases, these people must be the ones who reported the case. He glared hard at the boss who wanted to hand him a cigarette.

Then he walked up to a few middle-aged bosses and asked

"Did you guys report the case?"

The middle-aged fat boss nodded quickly
