Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 553
"Come to Lanzhou to eat this potato flavor. If you are patient, young man, you can find potato snacks that you can't hear anywhere else." The boss picked up the cold cold skin and asked Li Xiao : "Spicier or milder?"

"Spicy, it tastes better."

"okay!"

A bowl of potato cold noodle with good color and fragrance was placed in front of Li Xiao.

"Very strong aroma of garlic, acetic acid, and pepper." Li Xiao lowered his head and sniffed. "What's more amazing is that the potato cold skin is easier to color than ordinary cold skin."

Li Xiao added a half-finger-thick Liangpi and put it in front of the camera. It was very obvious that the original pale yellow Liangpi was dyed translucent red by the bright red sauce.

"It's quite amazing. The appearance of this Liangpi reminds me of the kind of spicy strips that cost a few cents a pack when I was in elementary school."

"It's also a bright red color."

"It smells pretty good, but it's covered by the sauce and you can't smell the potatoes."

"It feels like another snack that goes perfectly with chili."

Li Xiao's mouth was already full of saliva induced by these smells, and he sucked the cold skin on the chopsticks into his mouth neatly.

"Well!"

"Spicy peppers with balsamic vinegar are delicious and appetizing after being dipped in cold skin. It is the icing on the cake."

"The taste of balsamic vinegar is strong, so the feeling of eating this way is that the acetic acid and garlic flavor have the upper hand."

"Taste slowly, and I can gradually taste a different taste from ordinary Liangpi."

Li Xiao picked up a cold noodle that was not stained with sauce, and put it in his mouth to taste.

"A faint potato-specific fragrance, very faint, but this taste is a little different from ordinary Liangpi."

"It can be said that the potatoes in this Liangpi are a weak embellishment, because the mixture of various flavors almost completely covers the potatoes, although the main ingredient of the Liangpi is potatoes."

"Overall, the taste is still very good."

"I can give 80 points to this potato cold skin."

"Thank you boss for your hospitality."

Studio:
"I'm so sour at this price. It's really not easy for the anchor to find such a good and cheap restaurant these days."

"It's so simple to make potato cold skin. I'm already eager to try potatoes at home!"

"Upstairs, didn't you hear what the anchor said just now? The sauce in the cold noodle is the essence."

"Although, potato buns don't look simple. This Liangpi is simply steamed, mashed, steamed and boiled, and it can be finished by cutting it open. If it is not possible, it can be put on ordinary bean paste!"

"It's really not possible to put ordinary chili sauce on it!"

"It's really not possible to put ordinary soy sauce on it!"

"What are you thinking upstairs?"

After eating the Liangpi and most of the steamed buns, Li Xiao felt that if he continued to eat, he would not be able to eat the "Potato Flour" later, so he put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Thinking of the system's comments just now, Li Xiao started chatting with the store owner.

"Boss, how long have you been making buns here?"

"It's only been two or three years, and today is the last day of business." The shopkeeper wiped the flour on his hands, and the smile on his face became a bit bitter.

"The steamed stuffed buns made by your family are quite delicious, why is it going out of business so suddenly?"

Li Xiao was a little puzzled.

"It's different, now there are takeaways everywhere, and there are very few customers who come to the store to eat in person like you." Speaking of these, the shopkeeper's face was a little lonely, "Our cost is low and the price is low. With such a high commission on the platform, we need to do extra activities to generate sales. In the long run, it will be a slow drag for a small business like ours, and it will be difficult to do business.”

"The boss doesn't plan to raise the price and try to sell it again? If the taste is good, there is no fear of sales."

"I've thought about it before, but I feel that if I raise the price on this, I can't make any money. Instead, I will be drawn into a pile by the platform, and I am tired of doing it." The shopkeeper waved his hand, intending to give the empty bowl in front of Li Xiao Filled with soy milk, but was rejected by the other party shaking his head.

After checking out and walking out of the store, Li Xiao felt that the weight on his body seemed to have loosened a lot.

Under the plaque of the Chen Family Steamed Bun Shop, a thick mist rises, and the aroma of various fillings is faintly radiated from it.

The appearance of this store is very similar to the store Li Xiao used to have when he was in middle school. It is a small store, and it is full of steaming heat when you walk in.

The shops next to it rarely have the scale and decoration of the bun shop in front of them, so such bun shops are scattered in snack bars with the same store decoration in twos and threes.

The general environment and management no longer allow these snack shops to continue to survive.

What is left to people is probably only the warm memories in their minds.

Studio:
"what a pity……"

"It's not a pity upstairs. If many shops like this are not up to the sanitary standard according to the country's random inspection, closing down is the general trend!"

"Are you a shop upstairs and you talk like that?"

"Don't tell me, many restaurants can't even compare to the food trucks on the street. What's there to say?"

"Where is the food truck so hygienic?"

"Upstairs, you are looking down on the snack cart, don't you mean?"

"What's wrong? I can't say that those stalls without business licenses are not successful?"

"Don't tear it up, don't tear it up, anyway, it's personal preference, if you don't want to, no one will force you to eat it, just don't eat it if you think it's unhygienic."

"You see, our anchor can eat high-end restaurants and go to street food, but don't treat everyone equally, say delicious ones, and comment on bad ones, why are you so entangled as you are? "

Seeing that the barrage in the live broadcast room kept crooked, Li Xiao hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

"It's okay, there's no need to argue about these things. Like the friend said just now, we don't want to go if we don't want to. It's all a matter of personal choice anyway."

"I saw that the store recommended by my sister has opened, let's try it now."

All very modern decor.

A few naive cats are playing around in the store, looking quite cute.

Approaching the store door, it also carefully reminded those who are allergic to cat fur to enter carefully.

After entering the door, a slight warmth came over my face.

"Welcome, what do you want to eat?" The store owner looked like he had just left school, and his face was full of enthusiasm, "If you scan the QR code and order on the platform, there will be a discount."

"Then I'll take a look first." Li Xiao nodded, found a seat and sat down.

To Li Xiao's surprise, the cats who were originally sitting next to the seat were stunned for a moment after Li Xiao sat down, and then slowly moved away from the table one by one.

Could it be because the smell of Jiujiu on his body is stronger?

Li Xiao was a little puzzled, but didn't pay much attention.

"The potato snacks here are quite rich." Li Xiao moved the menu in front of the camera, which was full of very beautiful snack pictures.

At the front, under the name "Potato Flour", is a snack that looks very much like jelly.

Li Xiao scanned the QR code on the table and found that the new customer still had drinks with half-price unlimited refills, so he ordered them.

Potato flour, also known as potato flour, although the name looks like vermicelli, it is not.

The method of potato flour is not difficult. Put a spoonful of water in the pot, boil the potato starch mixed with water in the pot on high heat, and keep stirring until the potato starch is made into a paste. A serving of potato flour is done.

When Li Xiao was still serving himself happy water in the beverage area, the shopkeeper had already brought a serving of hot potato powder to Li Xiao's table.

"It looks like jelly." Li Xiao commented on its appearance in one sentence, and then stirred it with chopsticks.

"Hiss..." With the movement of his hand, the expression on Li Xiao's face became serious, "It feels a little bad."

In order to let the audience in the live broadcast room feel his own experience more intuitively, Li Xiao picked up the potato powder in the bowl and showed them.

"Can you see it? It looks like jelly, but I've never seen such a sticky 'jelly'. It feels a little bad to the touch."

"The chopsticks poke it a bit like a special snack of a minority ethnic group, but it is softer and stickier than the rice cake."

"By the way, there is a kind of toy that I don't know if you have played with. It is the kind of ball. After being squeezed in your hand, it will become very sticky, like a slime."

The more he described it, the more Li Xiao felt that it might be hard for him to swallow.

"Let's ignore the strangeness of the appearance, the smell is pretty good."

"Spicy pepper is mixed with balsamic vinegar and coriander. It smells more spicy. It feels quite suitable for eating such a hot snack in autumn and winter."

"Try to see if the taste will surprise me."

The audience in the live broadcast room only saw that the anchor who stuffed the potato powder from the chopsticks into his mouth froze.

"Ah..." A mixed expression appeared on Li Xiao's face. He frowned and pursed his lips, feeling that he had eaten some very strange dark food.

"I don't know how to describe the taste of this thing."

Almost like being defeated, he "fleeed" and dropped the chopsticks in his hand. Li Xiao stroked his throat and poured the happy water he brought just now into his mouth.

"The moment this thing came into my mouth, I felt as if my tongue and mouth were being sucked by something."

"It doesn't feel like being chewed, but it feels like something alive is wriggling in the mouth!"

"God, I've never eaten such a strange thing."

"As a feature, it's really too special. How should I put it, I can't enjoy such a feature myself."

"If you use a more appropriate description, it would be swallowing slimes."

Gudu Gudu drank most of the glass of happy water in one breath, Li Xiao felt that his mouth and tongue finally recovered.

"It's really... too scary."

"A serving of potato flour that smells and tastes and can get 70 points, but tastes so weird that it's hard to pass the mark."

"I'm not going to comment. After all, maybe someone really likes this kind of taste."

Li Xiao, who put down his chopsticks, smashed it on the chair and tasted the "washing" bubbles of happy water in his mouth. He didn't dare to think about the strange and indescribable potato powder just now.

"It's kind of scary... The expression on the anchor's face just now has changed."

"Thanks to the anchor for giving us an instant face-changing (doge)!"

"Witness with my own eyes how the anchor is overwhelmed by potato flour!"

"It's the first time I've seen a host defeated by such a horrible food. How strange is this potato flour? Does anyone who has eaten it or someone from Lanzhou tell me about it?"

"I am from Lanzhou. I was completely convinced after eating potato flour once when I was a child. I have never had a second bite since then."

"I went to school in Lanzhou. The first time I saw this thing, I was scared away by its appearance. I never tasted it. The anchor is the real warrior!"

"I'm from Lanzhou, I think potato flour is jelly, soft and sticky jelly, and it's spicy, not to mention how good it is!"

"It seems that the real warriors are upstairs!"

"I admire the upstairs upstairs!"

Li Xiao, who was a little speechless by the content floating on the bullet screen, thought carefully: "Of course everyone's evaluation is more objective, although I personally can't accept such a taste, like the one in the bullet screen just now. One of my friends likes it, so food is still a matter of personal taste.”

With that said, Li Xiao went to the drink area to help himself a glass full of happy water.

"Like me, I think happy water is already very delicious." So let's forget about potato powder, really.
