Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 636
The two men had just put down the dishes when a man and a woman came out with trays.

While dancing, the two made strange faces on their faces. Their movements were humorous and funny, and their dancing postures were relaxed and graceful.

There were actually two long trays on the man's shoulders.

The woman also had a tray in her mouth and two trays in her hand.

"My God, how the hell did he bite that tray?"

"Σ(д|||) This is too powerful!"

"(д)b☆d(д) omg, how did this happen?"

"I think it takes a long, long time to train to achieve this level."

"Mommy asked me why I was kneeling to watch the video..."

"Σ(°△ °|||)︴My God, although I can't understand it, I am shocked."

"━=() My current expression is the same as this kaomoji..."

"Laughing, I can't even bite into a popsicle."

"The Yi people are indeed a hospitable people who are good at singing and dancing..."

"Apart from anything else, this way of serving food is really interesting."

"Look how lively the atmosphere is at the scene."

"Serving food in this way does have the effect of boosting the atmosphere..."

"Compatriots of the Yi nationality welcome everyone to come and visit us."

The Yi people like to cut the meat into large pieces, which they call "Tuo Tuo Rou."

The Yi people believe that the bigger the meat, the more hospitable the owner.

The method of tuotuo meat is to chop the pork, cook it in cold water without adding any condiments, pick it up after the meat is cooked, add salt, pepper, pepper, etc. to eat.

Hold the meat directly with your hands when eating.Its taste is very delicious, because it can't be stewed when it is boiled, but depends on the "heat". Once the "heat" is reached, the meat will be raw, and if the "heat" is slightly over, the meat will be hard. Therefore, most people can't cook it. it is good.And it should be eaten while it is hot.

Li Xiao took a sip. The meat was stewed with firewood. Compared with the meat made with electricity, it had an inexplicable aroma.

Moreover, in the villages on the mountain, all the stews use mountain spring water from the mountain. The meat stewed with mountain spring water and the meat stewed with tap water in the city cannot be compared in taste.

What's more, the pigs in this village of the Yi nationality are native pigs raised by the villagers themselves. This kind of pig is not the same breed as the common pigs on the market. Not only is the breeding time slower, but the pork and fat of the whole pig More lean and less meat.

So few people breed such pigs.

However, the pigs fed without adding a little feed have a strong meat aroma. Even without adding any seasoning, this local pork stewed with firewood and mountain spring water is also a delicacy.

The dipping sauce adds peppercorns and peppers, as well as garlic, ginger, green onion, coriander, and cumin.

Very common dip.

Pick up a big lump of pork, dipped in a little dipping sauce, spicy and burnt, it is endless aftertaste.

It turns out that the peppers in this dipping sauce were burnt with fire.

The locals call it "paste pepper".

It is the dried peppers, rolled in a circle of charcoal fire and stove ashes.

Then the chili was burnt and turned black, and after being taken out and crushed, it became the chili in the dipping sauce.

This kind of chili tastes not only very spicy, but also full of pepper fragrance.

It's more choking when it burns.

The dance over there is still going on.

I saw a vegetable jumper sitting on the shoulders of another vegetable jumper, and the master above had a tray on his head and hands.

And the master below is not idle, also holding two trays in his hand.

The most powerful thing is that there is a chef who jumps dishes, and even bites a corner of the table in his mouth when he comes out.

He raised that table just with his mouth...

After the banquet, the sky gradually darkened.

Li Xiao's fans dragged Li Xiao to sit in the hospitable host's house for a while.

A fire was lit in the center of the yard.

Relatives, friends and young people who are good at singing and dancing surrounded the city outside the bonfire.

They warmed up by the fire and drank wine.

They talked loudly about the interesting things they had encountered recently, and laughed together when they talked about their joy.

The wine they drink is basically their own wine.

Sorghum wine, corn wine, basically every village has a few families who can make wine.

Young Yi girls dressed in Yi costumes seemed to be waiting for something.

"Do you all gather here to enjoy the fire at night like this?"

Li Xiao looked at this scene and asked.

"It's not necessarily true. Only during festivals and when you are a guest, will you gather around the fire."

"Let's go to the fire too."

The fans dragged Li Xiao to sit beside the bonfire.

After sitting down, an uncle next to him asked curiously: "Where did this young man come from? He looks so fair and clean?"

"I've never seen such a handsome young man before."

"Isn't this a local?"

He spoke in a dialect, and the fans replied: "Uncle, this is my friend. I have been traveling for a few days, so I brought him here to play."

"Where is your friend from? Do you have a girlfriend? He looks so handsome."

Sure enough, as long as you meet an elder, you can't escape these problems.

Naturally, Li Xiao could understand what this uncle said and answered them one by one.

The fan who brought him here was less than happy.

"Oh, I'm handsome too, okay?"

"Young man, do you want to try the wine we brew here?" The uncle happily handed the wine glass in his hand to Li Xiao.

The Yi people are a hospitable nation, and drinking is an essential link when facing guests.

Li Xiao's drinking capacity is not bad, so how can there be any reason to shirk seeing this situation?
Li Xiao and this uncle drank a little, and the uncle's face turned red.

Li Xiao looked at the musical instrument in his arms, and said with a smile, "You can still play this."

The musical instrument in the uncle's arms looks a bit strange, on the surface it looks like nothing more than a bunch of bamboo.

However, Li Xiao, who had browsed the customs and habits of the Yi people for a long time, knew that this was not a simple bamboo.

This musical instrument composed of six bamboos is called Lusheng.

Some people have never even seen Lusheng, let alone blowing it.

The uncle was still wearing a black coir raincoat, maybe because he was happy after drinking, the uncle patted Li Xiao on the shoulder excitedly.

"I didn't expect you to know this, amazing young man!"

The uncle danced excitedly, and picked up the Lusheng in his hand to perform for Li Xiao.

Li Xiao naturally did not refuse.

The melodious tune sounded, and the uncle got up from the ground, playing the lusheng and dancing.

Seeing this, a man next to him also played the flute in his hand to accompany the man.

The little girls next to them, wearing bright Yi clothes, also stood up from the campfire.

Everyone spontaneously besieged a huge circle, facing one direction, singing and dancing.

Li Xiao didn't know how to sing, but she was dragged into the team by the fans next to her, and started circling with the crowd.

The girls clapped their hands, stamped their feet, and swayed forward.

Sometimes they hold hands and move closer to the middle, and sometimes they withdraw their hands and step back.

Sometimes I kicked my feet high, and sometimes squatted on the ground and circled.

The girls sang songs, the same tune as the flutes and reeds.

The content is some words to welcome guests from afar, celebrate today's day, and so on.

The lyrics are not fixed, you can sing whatever you think of.

All the words turned into lyrics at this moment, and the girls sang and danced one after another.

Li Xiao drank a lot of wine and followed everyone to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere.

As for the dumplings, they had already fallen asleep in Li Xiao's car with the air conditioner blowing on them.

Li Xiao lived in this Yi village for a few days.

The fan's surname is Wang, so Li Xiao calls him Xiao Wang.

The weather in Yunnan has always been changeable and impermanent.

In Yunnan, it may even happen that it rains here and the sun shines on the other side.

The show ended very late last night, and when Li Xiao got up today, it was already raining heavily.

Time flies, and it is already May.

It has been half a month since I came to Yunnan.

And from May, the rainy season in Yunnan has arrived.

Normally, May to September is the rainy season in Yunnan.

In mid-June, the Yi people in Yunnan also celebrate a grand festival, the Torch Festival.

This festival, in the village of the Yi people, is equivalent to a day worthy of attention like the Chinese New Year.

Li Xiao looked at the map again and again, but in fact, the Torch Festival is not too long away.

If he was still in Yunnan at that time, he could spend a torch festival with the Yi people.

The rainy season seems to have come very early this year.

Before Li Xiao came to be a guest, it had already rained a little.

But the rain was not as heavy as it is now.

Li Xiao and Xiao Wang looked at the rainwater falling from the eaves, almost forming a straight line.

This rain is really too big.

But rain, for Yunnan people, also means the birth of a delicious food.

That's wild mushrooms.

For Yunnan people, wild mushrooms are a fatal temptation.

When you come to Yunnan, if you don’t eat a meal of wild mushrooms, it’s almost nothing.

But eating wild mushrooms is also risky.

On the Internet platform, the magical song of "red umbrella, white pole, lie on the board after eating" is sung everywhere.

Every year when the rainy season comes, people in Yunnan will receive reminder text messages on their mobile phones.

They all remind everyone to pay attention to safety when eating wild mushrooms.

When eating wild mushrooms, several principles must be followed.

Don’t eat the bacteria you don’t know, don’t eat the bacteria that haven’t been fried, don’t eat the bacteria you haven’t eaten, and don’t eat the bacteria you’re not sure about.

Oh yes, and if you are not familiar with the way to the hospital, it is best not to eat wild mushrooms.

Although this sentence has a little bit of a joke, however, wild fungus poisoning is not a joke.

After being poisoned by wild fungus, they may be sent to the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea, or hallucinations and coma.

Some fungi are hallucinogenic, but after eating they will "see the villain".

This sentence comes from a netizen who was poisoned by eating fungus. After eating the hallucinogenic fungus, he saw many "little people", as if he saw people from Lilliputian.

There are also those who saw elves, monsters, and all kinds of strange-looking fairies.

All due to eating fungus poisoning.

"It's raining a lot. After a few more days of this, we can go begging for fungi."

In the stockade, "looking for mushrooms" is called "discussing mushrooms".

There is also the saying of going up the mountain to "beg for wild vegetables" similar to the saying, which is all about going up the mountain to find it.

Xiao Wang looked at the rainwater that formed a line and sighed, with a strange light in his eyes.

The village is located on the mountainside. The mountains in Yunnan are very high, and most of the houses built on the mountains are earth tile houses.

When building a house, soil is mixed with straw and put in a mold to make adobe bricks. After drying, they can be used to build a house like bricks.

The pillars and beams in the house are also made of thick and straight wood.

There are tiles on the roof, and the rain falls on it, and it flows down the grooves between the tiles.

Such earth houses are not uncommon in rural areas.

Looking at the rain in the yard, Li Xiao also looked forward to it.

"How many days will it take for this fungus to grow?"

"This fungus grows very fast. As long as it rains, it will pop up the next day."

"Some fungus, in the same place, there was nothing when I went to see it on the first day, but a nest grew out when I went again the next day."

A nest means a follower in dialect.

It rained heavily all day and all night.

The next morning, the heavy rain was still falling.

By noon, the rain finally stopped.

Rainy days are colder, so everyone’s daily life in rainy days is to gather around the stove to warm up.

The old man was by the fire, putting an earthen jar into the fire to dry.

Then put a handful of tea leaves in it, and turn the tea pot a few times from time to time.

The tea leaves were roasted to produce a tea aroma, and then the old man poured some boiling water into it.

Isn't this approach exactly the same as the first tea "bitter tea" among Dali's three courses of tea?

This kind of tea is called "roasted tea" here.

Roasted tea has a strong tea flavor and a delicious burnt aroma.

But also because there will be a lot of tea leaves in a small pot, and the tea is boiled, so it will be very bitter.

Most people can't drink tea that is so bitter.

A pile of charcoal fire was pulled out from the stove, and a few white glutinous rice cakes were placed on it.

The glutinous rice cakes are baked soft and the skin is golden brown.

Take out the baked glutinous rice cakes from the charcoal fire, pat the dust on them, dip some honey from the mountains, and you can eat them.

Sweet and soft, in this rainy day, the whole body is warmed up.

Glutinous rice cake dipped in honey is usually eaten during the local winter solstice festival.

However, it can also be eaten as a staple food.

Some people don't like to eat glutinous rice cakes dipped in honey, so they pour a little chili noodles and dip them in.

The plum tree in front of Xiaowang's house is already full of big and green plums, but this kind of plums will not turn red and mature until autumn.

But the children couldn't wait, picked the green plums, mixed with chili noodles, and couldn't wait to eat them.

The green plums are sour and the chili noodles are hot. When mixed together, it tastes sour and spicy. It is a very common snack in the village.
