Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 656
"I just went to check the tamarind you mentioned. It really looks like a huge pod, and the shape is even weirder after opening."

"It feels like he doesn't have much water in this fruit."

"Why is it called tamarind? This fruit must be very sour, right?"

"In fact, his taste is sweet and sour, like hawthorn."

"Then you put it this way, this tamarind cake and hawthorn cake are actually similar."

"Actually, the taste is still different."

Li Xiao watched the discussion of netizens on the bullet screen, and went up to buy a small bag of tamarind cakes.

Open the wrapping paper wrapped outside, put it in your mouth, there is a sour and sweet taste.

"No wonder it's called tamarind, it's indeed a bit sour."

"This tamarind cake also has white sugar added."

"This sour taste should have the same appetizing effect as hawthorn."

Li Xiao said inarticulately while chewing the tamarind cake in his mouth.

"There's actually no additives in this tamarind cake."

"Let's take a look at the ingredient list."

"Tamar horn, high maltose syrup, white sugar, agar."

"This ingredient list is pretty clean."

"Not even a preservative."

Li Xiao sighed.

There was also a surprised expression on the barrage.

"Isn't it? How is it possible that there are still snacks without preservatives?"

"I also think it's impossible for this ingredient list to be fake?"

"This must be a fake, how could it not have any additives?"

"Not only does it have no additives, but it doesn't even have pigments. It's too fake."

"Ah, this, maybe it's true, I think if it's true, he wouldn't sell it here."

"If you say so, I really want to try this tamarind cake."

"Actually, it's sweet and sour, similar to hawthorn cake."

"No other additives and preservatives are added, probably because it is too acidic?"

"Those who have eaten tamarind pass by, this tamarind height is indeed the color of tamarind."

"Snacks with such a clean ingredient list are rare now."

"Probably because this is a local snack, so there are very few additives."

"I want to eat too, and I eat too."

"My partner has had severe morning sickness these days, so it should be okay to eat this."

"Our children don't like to eat very much recently, so I think we can buy some."

"If you put it this way, I think... If I don't go to their store to buy it, it will probably be out of stock again."

As we all know, Li Xiao's ability to carry goods has reached an outrageous level.

Sure enough, after this netizen finished speaking, he went to see that the snacks of the same style were sold out.

Netizen: "..."

Can you be an individual?

Li Xiao didn't make too much publicity, but thought that the sour horn cake was sour and sweet, and it seemed not bad to have a piece after dinner in summer.

So he continued to hang out.

Next, Li Xiao saw another stall selling Baba.

So he walked over again.

The prepared baba has two flavors, salty and sweet.

The salty one contains ham and chopped green onion, while the sweet one has bean paste and rose petals.

Different from the ubiquitous Yunnan flower cakes, this kind of cake looks rounder and bigger.

And it was crushed flat.

It should also look crispy on the surface.

There are four words written on the signboard outside, "Lijiang Baba".

Relevant information immediately drilled into Li Xiao's mind.

Lijiang Baba is a unique delicacy of the Naxi people.

Lijiang Baba and Heqing Dry Wine have always been called "Lijiang Baba Heqing Wine", which was recorded in "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" in the Ming Dynasty.

It is characterized by color, aroma, taste, and taste.

The main raw materials for making are the fine wheat noodles produced in Lijiang, and the snow water flowing down from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to knead them into dough.

Then apply vegetable oil on the marble slab and roll it into thin slices.

Li Xiao leaned over with interest.

Although I was full just now, how can there be no reason not to eat food now?

It doesn't matter, his stomach still holds it.

"Handsome, do you want a papa?"

"Our family's papa is delicious."

"Lijiang's Baba is very famous."

The proprietress saw Li Xiao coming over, and saw that Li Xiao was so handsome, she immediately introduced him enthusiastically.

"Bring me a salty one and a sweet one."

"Okay, boy, just wait a moment."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, she quietly watched the proprietress pretending for herself.

Li Xiao was very lucky. When he arrived here, the proprietress had just cooked a pot of Baba.

At this time, Baba, who had just left the country, was still steaming.

"Everyone, look at this papa, this puff pastry."

Pointing the camera at Lijiang Baba in his hand, Li Xiao said.

The Baba just out of the pan is still a bit hot, and under the street lamp, the Baba in the paper bag is shining with oil.

The meringue looks layered and distinct, and it smells like the smell of wheat mixed with other ingredients.

The sweet Baba smells like roses and walnuts and sesame.

As soon as the idle Baba smells, it is the meaty aroma of ham and the fragrance of shallots.

Li Xiao first took a bite of the salty papa.

"Well, the skin is just as I imagined, crispy and crumbly."

"The ham inside the papa is very fragrant and slightly salty."

"The presence of this shallot is not low, but it has been fried."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he took another bite of the sweet papa.

"Wow, this one is also crispy on the outside, soft and glutinous on the inside, full of oily fragrance."

"Bite down, the scent of roses bursts in your mouth."

"There are also crunchy walnuts and fragrant sesame seeds."

"As far as personal taste is concerned, I prefer this sweet one."

"The sweet Lijiang Baba tastes richer and has many layers of texture."

"Everyone, look at the lady boss is starting to make papa again."

"Boss, can I take a picture for you?"

Li Xiao asked politely.

After obtaining the consent, Li Xiao began to film the process of the proprietress making the cake.

The proprietress first took out a piece of reconciled noodles from the bucket, and then brushed a layer of oil on the marble board.

After brushing the oil, put the baba on the marble board and press it into thin slices.

Next, brush another layer of melted oil on the pressed cake, then roll up the cake, flatten it again, and brush with oil.

After repeating it several times, brush a layer of rose sauce on the top of the cake, and sprinkle some walnuts and white sugar.

It turns out that what the boss wants to do is sweet cakes.

Then wrap the stuffing inside, press the baba here to form a pancake, and then fry it on the pan.

A crispy slag, distinct layers, and delicious Lijiang Baba is ready.

The proprietress put the prepared Baba in a paper bag.

Then it was handed to the customers who came to buy it.

After eating the delicious Baba, Li Xiao decided to go back to the hotel.

After a night's rest, Li Xiao decided to go to Heqing to have a look.

I ate Lijiang Baba last night and heard the phrase "Lijiang Baba Heqing Wine". Since Heqing's wine is so famous, it has already come to Yunnan. It would be a pity not to have a look.

After driving to Heqing, the first place Li Xiao went to was Yunhe Tower.

Walking through the streets with people coming and going, you arrive at the Yunhe Tower, watching the sun shine on the layers of eaves, giving off a soft light that is reassuring.

There are naturally many shops selling various souvenirs and delicacies on the streets of the ancient city.

Of course, Heqing is most famous for blowing liver.

However, this has been tasted in Dali before, so I will not introduce it again.

Heqing is famous for three treasures: dry wine, ham, and pork anhydride.This is common sense that everyone knows.

Dry wine refers to Heqing dry wine, ham is also Heqing ham, pig anhydride vinegar is the same as blowing liver, it is a unique local delicacy, and it is pork ribs marinated in a jar.

The origin of dry wine is that the Ming Dynasty implemented "military settlements", "private operations" and "commercial settlements" in Heqing, embedding the army in the people, and immigrating to Heqing from the Central Plains during the period of immigration and garrisoning the border, and settled here.

Immigrants, represented by the Hua family, introduced the advanced wine-making technology of the Central Plains and the method of making koji with Chinese herbal medicines into the ancient "shochu" brewing in Heqing.

Originally, Li Xiao planned to find out how the dry wine was made.

As a result, when he arrived, he found that most of the steps in wine making were nothing special.

Probably because different regions have different water and soil, different wines are bred.

So Li Xiao was very confused next.

What should I do?

As long as it comes, it will be safe. In fact, the eight bowls of Heqing are very famous.

There has been a long history of eating eight bowls here.

But Li Xiao had eaten these eight bowls before.

Then just wander around.

Eat what you see.

After starting the live broadcast, Li Xiao greeted the fans in the live broadcast room.

"Masters of the audience, hello everyone, that's right, it's me again, and I'm starting the live broadcast again."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?"

Li Xiao, who was carrying a selfie stick and was broadcasting live, stood under the sun. The sun fell from the top of his head, illuminating his hair clearly, making him look sunny and handsome.

on the screen.

"Ah, long time no see, my husband! (ω)"

"Ahhh my husband, my husband (*з)(ε｀*)boo~ My husband is so handsome!"

"Call(*｀*)person(*｀*) for the host"

The first to appear is still this group of female fans.

She is Li Xiao's girlfriend fan.

Naturally, there are old fans who are paying attention to when Li Xiao starts broadcasting every day.

"I still say the same thing, I failed to lose weight again today, let's see what the anchor wants to eat today."

"I'm already ordering takeaway food. I suggest that the host should post a preview before the next live broadcast, so that the group of takeaway merchants can think about what to prepare next time."

"I hope today is not a weird food."

"Same upstairs, I hope today's food will not be bugs or something like that."

"If you wish, I hope you don't say it. As soon as you say it, I feel that this matter is over."

"Honey, have you heard of Murphy's Law?"

"The less you want something to happen, the more likely something will happen."

"I'm even more scared when you say that. Is it possible that I'm going to eat bugs again today?"

"How many episodes did the anchor broadcast in Yunnan? This bug has been eaten three times, right?"

"Grasshoppers, bee pupae and bamboo worms, right?"

Good guy, I really don't know what to broadcast today.

Isn't this material here?

Li Xiao smiled very kindly in front of the camera, and then said the last sentence to the fans in front of the camera that they didn't want to see.

"Eating worms is a good idea. There are so many worm delicacies here in Yunnan, and they are all here. Of course, you have to try it."

"Let me see if there are any fans near me. If there are any, let's meet by chance."

"There are too few strategies in Heqing, and it happens that I don't know what to eat."

"I think we can go eat something weird or local."

Immediately, fans sent barrage.

"I, I, the anchor, I happen to be on this street."

"I passed by here just now, why didn't I see you, the anchor."

"God, if I knew I shouldn't be walking and looking down to play with my phone, I would have missed it."

"Stand there and don't move, wait until I go back to find you."

I never expected that there are actually fans who happen to be on this street.

And they all missed it.

What does this mean?This shows that the skill that Li Xiao's system gave him is really useful.

Even if fans passed by him, they didn't notice him.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he scanned the environment around him with his live broadcast camera, and then stood here waiting for his fans to come over.

Not long after, a little brother with a sunny face but a little dark came running over, panting heavily.

The first time Li Xiao saw this little brother, he instinctively felt that this should be his fan.

However, after this fan got to his side, he actually looked around and kept looking at his phone.

Finally found Li Xiao in the corner.

Dang even rushed over, intending to give him a bear hug.

Li Xiao stepped back silently and stopped him.

"Don't hug me, we are both big men, so many audiences are watching."

"It's not good to be misunderstood, and I have a girlfriend."

"Friends in the audience, everyone has to testify for me. I didn't know this little brother before. I definitely don't have that tendency."

Li Xiao joked to the fans in front of the camera.

Then I saw a barrage floating past silently.

"Do you remember that you had a girlfriend?"

What followed was a series of barrages with the font changed to pink.

"Yes, the anchor absolutely absolutely does not have that tendency."

"As we all know, important words are said three times."

"As we all know, there is a word called not calling yourself."

"As we all know, we broadcast very unscrupulously."

"Ah, no, it's a typo, it's very serious."

"Fifty cents, remember to delete the brackets."

Li Xiao was speechless.

So he threw the topic to the male fan who just ran over.

"What food shall we eat next?"

"Or do you think there is any delicacy that is worth trying, which netizens have basically never seen?"
