Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 570 551. The experience of the Mars Hotel

The waiter quickly brought over "Memories of Childhood".

What made Li Xiao dumbfounded was that what she was holding was a glass of Coke.

Not the Coca-Cola that people usually drink, but Pepsi in blue packaging.

"Is the customer satisfied?" The waiter asked Li Xiao when he brought it over.

"Don't you have Coca-Cola in your store?" Li Xiao asked curiously.

"Our boss is a Pepsi party. It is said that he has been drinking since he was a child, so he put Pepsi on the menu and wrote "Reminiscence of Childhood"."

Coca-Cola was introduced by foreigners, and Pepsi-Cola is a beverage developed by the people of the Han Dynasty based on the taste of Coke. The taste of the two is different, but the taste of the bubbles is very strong.

"I'll open it again if the guest wants it."

"Let's have one."

The waiter quickly opened the Coke and poured it into a glass filled with ice cubes.

"Please enjoy."

Li Xiao reached out to take the "Reminiscences of Childhood" from the waiter's hand, only to see that in addition to a few ice cubes, there were also two dried plums in the glass.

To be honest, Li Xiao has almost never seen the operation of talking about dried plums in Coca-Cola.

Soaked in the black cola, if it wasn't for the ice cubes, Li Xiao wouldn't be able to see the existence of prunes at first glance.

He picked up the glass and took a small sip.

Li Xiao has heard a lot about the dispute between the red and blue parties in Coca-Cola. The Red Party has always said that their Coke is the most authentic, while the Blue Party says that their Coke is developed according to the taste of the Han Dynasty. The two factions are fighting. For a long time, Li Xiao has always heard about it, but has never had a deep understanding of it.

The difference between the two is that Coca-Cola is a little sweeter than Pepsi, and Pepsi is rich in carbon dioxide, and you can burp a few mouthfuls of bubbles if you drink it in one breath.

Apart from these two subtle differences, Li Xiao felt that he probably couldn't find any other characteristics that could distinguish the two.

Looking at the cup of Pepsi in front of him, which was constantly bursting out with some fine and small bubbles due to the existence of dried plums, Li Xiao readily picked it up with one hand and took a big sip.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The air bubbles that had been suppressed by ice cubes still burrowed into Li Xiao's mouth, and Li Xiao was caught off guard for a while, but after the air bubbles passed, the sweet and sour taste from the dried plums melted into the cola, and even the cola couldn't bear it. Turned into a sweet and sour taste.

"I haven't drunk this kind of cola before. I was a little surprised when I saw it today."

"Simple cola will not have such a rich taste. If you drink too much, it will be filled with bubbles and burps, but with the addition of prunes and ice cubes, some of the bubbles will be dissolved by the ice cubes. It has the unique sweet and sour flavor of prunes, which is very unique and worth tasting.”

"Although it is not my childhood memory, I still like it very much."

"70 points is enough."

Most of the bubbles in the cup have been eliminated, and if you continue to drink, you will be full. Li Xiao rubbed her stomach, expressing regretfully that she could not continue to drink.

Studio:
"Although the anchor said so, I still think that Coca-Cola is the strongest der!"

"I don't agree, Pepsi will always drop God, I will always like Pepsi!"

"Am I the only one who focused on the host's sweet and sour cola?"

"Has anyone tried the taste of the two kinds of cola with prunes? I would spend a lot of money to watch that person drink it himself!"

"Sour cola is really drinkable! It's really like dark food."

"I've already prepared prunes and Coke, and I'm ready to taste the same style of "Reminiscence of Childhood" from the host on the spot!"

"Rush upstairs, remember to come back and tell us how it tastes after testing the poison!"

······
Outside the live broadcast room, Mo Jie was still struggling to "struggle" with the new bowl of mutton juice served in front of him, while Li Xiao lay down on the chair half paralyzed, and began to digest.

"It's time to go back after we finish eating in a while." Li Xiao said.

At this time, a man in casual clothes walked up to them.

"Hello, my surname is Mu, and my name is Mu Qi. I'm the son of the owner of this store." The man seemed to be in his thirties, and when he spoke, there was a certain kind of aura unique to a few ethnic groups. kind of tone.

"May I ask you something?" Li Xiao knew the name of the chef of this restaurant through the system, and such a stranger came over suddenly, and he didn't know what request he had.

"It's like this, Mr. Li, I've paid attention to you since you arrived in Zhangye. I didn't expect that you would come to our store with such a fate and give us such a high evaluation of the products in our store. I'm really grateful Endless."

"Do you have any plans to go to Dunhuang?"

"Yes." Li Xiao nodded, "There is a high probability that he will go."

Mu Qi bowed deeply, and then continued: "If there is fate, I hope you can help to bring some things to send there. Our express delivery is out of service due to special reasons, and because of the long distance, there are still some items in the itinerary. There will be no man's land, so it will be very troublesome to find someone to take it there, I hope you can help, we will pay you, the price is negotiable."

"May I ask first what you want me to take with you?" If it was something dangerous, it would be unclear if he was detained in an accident on the road.

"It's some herbs, we will use them when cooking." Mu Qi said.

"Okay, but I can't guarantee 100% that it will be delivered. The journey is far away. I don't know if there will be any accidents. I hope you are mentally prepared for this matter." Li Xiao said bluntly.

"I understand." Mu Qi nodded, "One more thing, our store is a branch store, and the main store is in Dunhuang. If you don't mind the trouble, sir, you can go there to try again. The new products of the main store It has always been launched first, and I hope there will be dishes that you are interested in. "

"Then let's talk about it."

When they entered the store, they were empty-handed, but when they left, Li Xiao took a large bag of herbs.

Mo Jie was obviously a little bit full, and his steps were a little vain when he walked.

Sitting in the car, I couldn't help hiccupping a few times.

"Are you satisfied with your meal tonight?" Looking at Mo Jie who was rubbing his stomach with a distressed face, Li Xiao felt a little funny for no reason, "It looks like you haven't eaten anything delicious before."

After drinking a bowl of mutton juice, Mo Jie still had another bowl, which surprised Li Xiao.

"I'm going to lose Brother Li, your gourmet radar soon, how can I make up for my regret if I don't eat more." Mo Jie smiled, his face was ashamed after being teased by Li Xiao.

"It's nothing. In the future, you will be more in contact with people around you when you work and study. They will always be willing to take you to eat delicious food. Don't stay at home all day. Go outside more often, and you will have a chance to find delicious food. "Li Xiao said.

The way back was very smooth, and there were not many people on the road at night, not to mention that it was still autumn when it was getting colder, and everyone didn't like to go out very much.

Back at the hotel, the two decided to take a good tour of the hotel as a walk to digest food.

This Martian hotel is a hotel that Li Xiao saw when he was looking for a strategy on the Internet. It looks ordinary, but the inside is full of avant-garde interstellar decoration.

The guide sign on the first floor shows that there is also an aerospace-themed pavilion on the third floor.

Of course, this pavilion is based on the interior decoration and objects of the launch center and the theme of space, and the bulk is the special food there.

When the two returned to the hotel, the meal service had ended, but the pavilion was still open to the public.

Taking the "lift-off" rocket elevator, they came to the third floor.

After getting out of the elevator, a staff member reminded them that they need to take off their shoes so as not to affect the next experience.After the two took off their shoes and walked up barefoot, the staff opened the door to the exhibition hall.

As soon as he entered, a chill came over his face.

Li Xiao was blinded by the sudden strong wind, so he took a moment to look forward, and a dazzling Milky Way appeared in front of him.

Countless tiny light spots are intertwined, converging into a river of stars.

Walking a few steps forward, I felt a soft touch under my feet.

Lowering his head, Li Xiao realized that he was standing on the soft soil with potholes, surrounded by desolation.

"Are we on the moon now?" Feeling the soft touch from the soles of his feet, Li Xiao walked around comfortably.

"The feeling of stepping on this lunar soil is really good."

The two continued to move forward and came to a large square window.

Climbing up the steps and moving forward, in the endless darkness, the blue planet occupying only one-fifth of the entire window area appeared in their field of vision.

"This experience is quite novel."

After entering the live broadcast room, it was difficult to see clearly due to insufficient light. However, Li Xiao did not want the audience to miss this simulated scene of looking at the earth from space. He specially adjusted the focus, trying to let the audience see his most restored scene.

"Now I have a sense of déjà vu of stepping on the moon and using a telescope in the spaceship to see the earth."

The live broadcast room also made a lot of sighs because of this scene:
"It's so beautiful! Although it's so dark that you can only see the Milky Way, it's the first time I've seen the Milky Way at such a close distance!"

"Although, it is still not as shocking as seeing it with the anchor's own eyes."

"We can only see the screen, and we can't experience the feeling that the anchor is on the moon. It's a shame!"

"I want to experience it for myself!"

"I want to experience it myself +1!"

"I want to experience it myself +2!"

"I want to experience it myself +10086!"

Seeing the fans' demands, Li Xiao couldn't bear to refuse, so he simply opened a prize-winning interaction: "How about this, it's already late today and the restaurant here is closed, wait until tomorrow morning when I go out to eat to experience this. For the food next to you, why don’t you guess what is on the legendary astronaut’s recipe of the same style?”

"I will randomly select a lucky one from the guessed friends to experience this hotel for myself, so today's live broadcast is almost over here, and we will see you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to the audience, Li Xiao got off the live broadcast, and put the rest of her thoughts on the "space" in front of her.

"Speaking of which, this hotel is called Mars Hotel, but there is no Martian element in this exhibition hall, which is a bit surprising." Li Xiao looked for a long time, but could hardly find the existence of "Mars" in the name of the hotel.

Compared with Li Xiao, Mo Jie found more information: "I heard that there is a Mars camp in no man's land, and the landforms and scenery over there are the most similar to Mars. There are still more people here, and there is nothing to see. It feels barren, so it lacks a little flavor.”

"But after all, it's closer to the launch center, so it's reasonable to take this name."

The two walked around while talking, and soon finished browsing the small exhibition hall.

Back in the room, Li Xiao first put the sleeping dumpling on the bed, and went straight into the kitchen to start tinkering.

He bought a lot of things at the pet supply store, and he was very satisfied with a visual backpack, which solved the problem of constant movement caused by holding it in his hands.

This backpack has a lot of space, making it easy for Jiujiu to roll around 360 degrees while chewing on a molar stick.

As for the dumpling when it grows up...then we have to think of a way.

Mo Jie finished washing first, and when he came out, he found that Li Xiao was still in the kitchen, and the sound of ping-pong-pong was still heard from time to time.

"Brother Li, is it convenient for me to go in and see what you are doing?" Mo Jie, who was afraid that he would intrude on Li Xiao's privacy, knocked on the door ahead of time.

"It's okay, come in."

"Brother Li, what are you doing?" Seeing Li Xiao burying his head in handling the mushy things in the big basin in front of him, Mo Jie looked curious.

"Preparing dry food for Jiujiu." Li Xiao said.

While visiting the exhibition hall, he helped buy a lot of materials on the errand app, and planned to prepare more teething sticks and dry food suitable for Jiujiu.

Right now, he's stirring the batter.

This trip to Dunhuang is more than 300 kilometers. It is not a small fight before. A series of things must be prepared on the way to deal with possible problems in the future.

His own food can be casual, but he doesn't want to treat the dumplings badly.

Mo Jie could only stare dumbfounded at Li Xiao's skillful handling of mountains of ingredients, and then his jaw dropped to the ground when he saw the swift movements of his hands when he was handling the big beef bones. In the battle, compared to some so-called chefs who show off their skills on the Internet, Brother Li's skill is completely crushing, right?

If he used one word to describe his evaluation of Li Xiao, it would be: awesome!
