Fierce and Famished

An unexpected explosion sends food streamer Qi Huan hundreds of years into the future, into the interstellar era. Forced to adapt, he takes over a poorly reputed, nearly bankrupt little restaurant ...

Chapter 33: Scoring twice

Chapter 33: Scoring twice

Banned content? Qi Huan looked around in confusion. It was just a live food broadcast. At most, there were some minor unexpected problems. How could it be banned?

He first went over to help the flustered Quan Hai and the robot bear up, then opened the contact panel of the smart assistant. The smart assistant replied very quickly, "Dear Third Chef in the World, we detected that you were 'undressing' in the live broadcast room, which is suspected of being pornographic, and violated the relevant provisions of Article 3, Paragraph 5 of the Code of Conduct for Anchors on this platform regarding proper and modest behavior. The system automatically blocked your live broadcast room. 】

□□ Erotic? Qi Huan glanced at the apron on the ground speechlessly. The so-called stripping behavior, could it be the scene where the robot bear ripped off his apron? Artificial intelligence, it turns out that sometimes it is artificially stupid!

The newly promoted anchor looked depressed, but the live broadcast room with a black screen was full of joy.

[Can anyone tell me what happened? Why was I blocked for 44 hours after I came back from pouring a glass of water? ]

[Hahahahahahahaha, I am dying of laughter, this is indeed a funny live broadcast]

[I bet a silver coin that the scene where the anchor dropped her apron was automatically identified as a banned behavior]

[The host is so unlucky, hahahahahaha]

[The apron is the protagonist of this live broadcast room! ]

[The system is the true god! ]

[Bet a silver coin, the anchor must be drawing circles with his tail in frustration right now]

[Wake up, the anchor is holding a fox, he himself is not a fox]

[No, I just want to ask if anyone has grabbed the Nine-Tailed Crisp that was on sale for only one second? I really want to know what it tastes like.]

[Suddenly I can’t laugh anymore]

[I'm hammering, if the live broadcast room is banned, the products on the shelves will also be banned for 44 hours! ]

[System, host, you can shut down if you want, but please release my Nine-tailed Su first!!!]

Qi Huan sent a statement of defence to the system, but he was a new anchor with almost zero credit. The electronic intelligent customer service even sent the three-second video of his apron being ripped off as 'evidence' to prove that he had 'undressed', and gave a strict 'explanation' that the system was designed to prevent unknown risks, and if it had not been banned immediately, it would have been impossible to confirm whether he would continue to take off a second piece of clothing.

How can I be sure that I won't take off the second apron after I 'take it off' the first one? Qi Huan found that he really couldn't prove that the system's 'prediction' was wrong, nor could he prove whether this scene was a real accident or a 'undressing' disguised as an accident.

The system even sent a bunch of previous "cases" as auxiliary basis for predicting bans.

Qi Huan clicked on it and took a look. Indeed, there were many anchors who were doing normal live broadcasts one second, and then suddenly ripped off their clothes the next second, or transformed back into beasts and burst their clothes, and performed various indecent behaviors such as showing their bodies, lifting their tails, and hugging each other.

How should I put it? Behind every weird rule there may indeed be some weird "story" background. But when these behaviors on the screen appear in the form of lions, cats, dogs, snakes, clams, and even vines, and are righteously accompanied by those serious case fonts, Qi Huan's perception becomes a little complicated.

Baifu is a live broadcast platform for all races in the alliance, so they are naturally treated equally. But for him, it felt like using images from the animal world to crack down on pornography and illegal publications. It was both magical and funny.

In the end, Qi Huan helplessly and unknowingly accepted the 'punishment' of being banned for forty-four hours.

His feelings about this matter can be summed up in four words: speechless! Ridiculous!

Quan Hai felt very guilty about this, but Qi Huan comforted him and told him that it was not a big deal. In the early stage, he had planned to broadcast it every other day when he had nothing to do. Now it was just adding one more day. After the ban was lifted, the Nine-tailed Pastry that had been on the shelves could continue to be sold. If he thought about it carefully, it was not a big problem.

Now that his arm has healed, the restaurant in the human world has to prepare for normal business. According to estimates based on the peak hunting season, the unloading site will be busy for about 20 to 30 days. Qi Huan discussed with Boss Wan and decided to go and help for three or four hours every afternoon during the busiest time for unloading stone beasts. On the one hand, he has to go and select and purchase the ingredients he will use, and he also has to observe the status of the ham and bacon from time to time. On the other hand, his restaurant is still operating at a low rate, and before it has built up a good reputation, the business will definitely be slow in the early stages, and it is even possible that the business will be zero. Therefore, he has relatively ample time and does not need to prepare too far in advance.

The Human Restaurant, which had been closed for a long time, quietly reopened. On the first day of business, there was not a single table open during lunch time, but the dinner business was slightly better than Qi Huan had expected. This was mainly because some hunting teams that had eaten breakfast there some time ago became repeat customers and wanted to try his cooking skills. In addition, Lin Jian's team would definitely come to patronize his business as long as they returned to the base.

However, more people who wanted to eat a full meal were still deterred by the sign of six rotten eggs. During this period, Qi Huan also tried to ask breakfast guests to rate by offering discounts, but the effect was minimal. On the one hand, people who were satisfied with the meal were not obsessed with rating. On the other hand, the signal of the waste star was too poor, and the login to the star network was often stuck. When the signal was good, most of them had already forgotten this little thing.

The repeat customers have inspired Qi Huan. The base has a limited number of consumers, and "opening up" is blocked. It would be better to temporarily consider the route of private dishes, enrich the styles and types of dishes, ensure the taste, and continue to introduce new dishes that will surprise the customers. On the basis of maintaining the repurchase rate, we will work hard to capture new customers who come to the store and slowly build up word of mouth.

After closing the store at night, Qi Huan was busy preparing the second dish, lychee shrimp balls, which would be unveiled in the live broadcast room.

This was also a popular dish in his previous life. His cousin Zhang Chi saw it online and wanted to eat it, so he asked Qi Huan to make it. Qi Huan also liked shrimp, so he tried to make it. The finished product not only looked beautiful, but also tasted unexpectedly good, so he simply added it to the reserved menu for family banquets.

He made it once before the official live broadcast and gave it to Quanjia siblings and several people from Wanjia Food Store for tasting. It received unanimous praise from everyone. Even Quan Hai, who loves meat, loved it and almost fought with Quan Yu for the last one. Of course, due to the blood suppression, Quan Yu still got the last shrimp ball.

When he heard that he was going to live stream the making of this dish, Wan Laoer specifically asked about the specific time, saying that he would go to the communication hall to access the Star Network to boost the popularity of his live broadcast room.

As night fell, three figures of different heights were wandering on the street. The sparse lights reflected on them, and the light flickered between their steps.

"He's called Chef Yidao, but his skills are far inferior to that young chef in West City." Chen Ye casually threw away his mask and complained as he walked.

"At least it's close to where we live." Taozhe touched the blue falcon on his shoulder. He didn't care much about his appetite, as long as he could eat his fill.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes at him, turned to Jiufang Yu and said, "Boss, what exactly are you planning to do when you hand over to that Jiufang Kuang?"

He had heard that the private club Tianfeng Pavilion on the sixth floor had the only two-star chef in the entire waste planet No. 7.

"Have you finished reading the Waste Planet Management Regulations and the data of each base?"

"Uh..." Shen Ye choked, "It's almost time. I'm looking through the data of the prison base."

The potter scratched his head silently and didn't dare to say anything.

"There's no rush for the handover. Let's find out Jiufang's background first." Jiufang Yu glanced at the brightly lit command hall in the distance. A shadow flashed across the cold and hard mask of the ferocious beast. That guy will definitely find ways to dig a few pits before leaving.

"Why don't we move to West City?" Chen Ye rolled his eyes. "There are fewer people in Jiufangkuang over there, so it's convenient to get in and out. There are also many native residents in the base, so we can learn more about the situation."

"That's fine." Jiufang Yu nodded slightly. If he went to West City, he could also take care of Qi Huan and his business nearby. Si Liang had sent him a message yesterday, saying that the Renjian Restaurant was close to the base gate and it was a bit dangerous for the human race. He also urged him to pay back the debt for the crab roe sauce.

Shen Ye's eyes lit up with excitement, "Then let's go back and pack our bags now!"

In order to avoid the dinner hours, the second broadcast was delayed to 9:30 p.m. Quan Hai was working overtime and couldn't get back to help. Qi Huan was afraid that something might go wrong with the robot bear, so he directly locked him in the hall outside.

"The dish that the chef has prepared for you today is called lychee shrimp balls," after the opening, Qi Huan took out a hand-drawn picture of the dish. In the picture, there was a fruit branch hanging diagonally, with green leaves like clouds, and dotted with several round lychees, which were bright red and very tempting.

The last live broadcast was banned too suddenly. Many people missed the taste of Jiuwei Su and were afraid that they would not be able to find it next time, so they clicked to follow. Although there were only a hundred people in the live broadcast room at that time, the "retention" rate was very high. Together with Wan Laoer who just followed, the number of fans just reached a lucky number, 88.

All things are difficult at the beginning, come on. Qi Huan looked at the number of fans and silently encouraged himself.

After hearing the news of the broadcast, several people who happened to be online rushed over, and with the addition of Wan Laoer, a native "hardcore audience", the barrage immediately became lively.

[After receiving the system message, I rushed to place the order]

[Hahahahaha, I finally waited for the show to start]

[Fortunately, the trial products do not expire]

[The Nine-tailed Pastry that I've been dreaming about, if it doesn't taste good and it cheats on my feelings, I'll destroy the host's place]

[If it doesn’t taste good, I’ll ruin the place +1]

[Can this really be done? ]

【With the last experience, I believe it】

【Incredible】

"This is the final presentation of the dish. The leaves are real lychee leaves, and the lychees underneath are what we are going to make today." Qi Huan picked up a leafy branch and a prepared vase from the tray next to him for display.

Actually, his first idea was to use the metal tree at the door. It happened that the lychees from the food store arrived two days ago. They were all delivered with branches. When Aunt Wan trimmed and packed the fruits, she would only leave one or two leaves on the fruits. Qi Huan picked a branch with a beautiful shape to use as the plating for today's live broadcast.

"First we need to deal with today's protagonist, the snow shrimp." Qi Huan took the bowl of shrimps next to him and began to cut the heads and peel them skillfully.

[What I ate before was just garbage!!! The taste of Nine-tailed Pastry is amazing! ]

[It's worth it that I've been thinking about it for so long, I'm satisfied]

[I would like to call it a divine dessert! ]

[The host processed the shrimps so fast that I could hardly keep up with him]

[Can't keep up +1]

[Oh my god, host, I love you! How can there be something as beautiful and delicious as Nine-tailed Pastry in the world! ]

[With such skillful techniques, it feels like the host is at least a two-star chef]

"Wash the peeled shrimp meat, add salt, rice wine, pepper and fragrant powder and marinate for ten minutes. This fragrant powder is made by grinding and mixing more than a dozen spices such as fennel, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves, star anise, amomum, pepper, fragrant grass, shield leaves, etc. I have also spent a long time to figure out the proportions. You can try the taste when you eat the shrimp balls later.

While the lychees are being pickled, let's make the shells for the lychees. What you need to prepare is a small dish of 50 grams of lychee rice, and half a bowl of sha guo juice for dyeing. "He moved the ingredients to the camera area, heated the oil in a pan, fried the lychee rice, absorbed the remaining oil, and then dyed it evenly red with juice.

The original lychee shrimp balls are made of crispy flower grains in the shell, and it is also very simple to make at home. Use glutinous rice flour and baked pink koji powder to make a batter, then use a bamboo stick to drop the batter into the oil pan and fry it into spherical particles with a diameter of about two to three millimeters.

After failing to find baking powder, Qi Huan tried several things and decided to use fried rice flowers instead of crispy flower kernels. The size of rice flowers is about the same as millet, but its color is as white as snow. After frying, its volume will expand about twice as much. It is crispy with a rice aroma, and its taste and texture are even better than the original crispy flower kernels.

"Now that the shrimp meat is almost marinated, we add a little fat and beat it into a paste. When using a machine, be careful to control the time. I personally prefer a springy texture, so I will keep the shrimp meat particles slightly larger."

The camera took a close-up of the whipped effect. Qi Huan introduced the process while adding egg white and a little starch, and began to stir manually to make shrimp balls. A little salted egg yolk was stuffed in the middle of each shrimp ball as the "core". The fat meat he used was the fat meat of the spotted beast. This shrimp ball was for his own dinner, so he chose the spotted beast, which looked whiter and more tender and tasted more fragrant. Anyway, the audience was tasting a trial product, so there would be no problem of poisoning.

[I’m so greedy, I think the red bowl is ready to eat]

[Who? Who bought out all the Nine-Tailed Snacks on the shelf? ? ? ]

[This is too much, it’s not ethical to eat! ! ! ! ]

[No way, there were only about thirty people running over when the show started. Shouldn't there be two hundred? ]

[Oh my god, it’s really empty. Luckily I bought it just now]

【Hahaha, it’s better to strike first! 】

[The anchor definitely did not set a personal purchase limit]

Glancing at the "noise" on the screen, Qi Huan was also a little surprised. There were only a little over a hundred people online in the live broadcast room at this moment, and there must be many new viewers. People who didn't watch the first broadcast might not even know about Jiuweisu. How could it be sold out so quickly? But he was making shrimp balls at the moment, and it was not convenient to click into the backstage to check, so he could only continue to put the shrimp balls into the bowl and roll them around to dip them in the red rice grains. After the shrimp balls were covered with red rice grains, they really looked like the mottled and raised appearance of the lychee shell, round and attractive.

After completing the check-in procedures at the inn, Shen couldn't wait to speak, "Boss, I'm a little hungry after all this trouble, let's go to the little chef's for a midnight snack."

So you came here for the food! Taozhe suddenly understood why Chen Ye urged the boss to move to a new place. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Ye stepped on his foot.

Potter: ...

"Finally, hang the fried shrimp balls on the tree branches, and our dish today is ready." Qi Huan strung the finished shrimp balls one by one on several branches that had been cleaned in advance. The swaying shrimp balls bent the branches, and the bright red and dark green looked so gorgeous.

[Ahhhhhh, how can it be so beautiful! Don’t let anyone snatch it from me later! ]

[I've been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the meal to start! 】

[Hurry up, hurry up, I licked the display screen clean in a hurry]

[Host, show off your hand speed in making shrimp balls just now! If you don’t come up, I will crawl along the star network to the waste planet to find you! ]

[Put it on the shelf, put it on the shelf quickly, I’m afraid you’ll be disconnected again if you say a few more words! ]

[If I can’t eat lychee shrimp balls today, I will send all my saliva to the anchor to take a bath! ]

"The freshly fried shrimp balls are a little hot inside. Please be careful when you eat them later to avoid getting burned." He reminded the audience while opening the collector and putting today's lychee shrimp balls on the shelf. The price was still 99 silver coins.

"Okay, then for today..." Qi Huan pushed the plate of prepared lychee shrimp balls in front of the camera and was about to end the live broadcast when he suddenly saw a dark little guy silently appear on the Rubik's Cube-shaped signal device in the air, staring down at him with his round eyes.

It was a furry black ball, only the size of a bowl, with smooth black fur, and a faint glint of brocade-like light. The most beautiful thing about it was its two eyes, which seemed to be golden star coins tempered in the sun, brilliant and clear, shining brightly. The two bracket-shaped horns on its head were crystal clear, with a symmetrical arc, and were cute yet inexplicably domineering.

Before Qi Huan could figure out where it came from, the little guy had already kicked away the signal device and pounced on the vase containing lychee shrimp balls on the sink like a hungry tiger descending from a mountain.

The signal device, hit hard by its claws, fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, interrupting the signal.

The camera in the live broadcast room spun around and then turned into a black screen.

A bunch of question marks floated across the dark screen.

[Broken again???]

【What's going on? 】

【Score twice】

The next second, the dark little creature opened its huge mouth and swallowed the shrimp ball vase with its branches and leaves like a whirlwind.

Qi Huan: !!!!!!!!!
