Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 671

The shopkeeper skillfully took out two pieces of pine flower cakes from the wooden tray, put them in a plastic bag, and handed them to Li Xiao.

The system beep also sounded at this time.

[Ding dong!The check-in is successful, the gourmet restaurant you check-in is: [Aunt Songhua Cake]]

【Fame: 20】

[Fame introduction: 1 point of fame will allow 10 strangers to know you through different channels]

There is also a sign printed on the bottom of the store, which says "Tengchong specialty, roasted bait, rouge fruit, roll powder, pine pollen."

I have eaten a lot of baked bait before, and roll noodles are also very common.

Probably because of the wrong season, or some other reason, Li Xiao didn't see the "rouge fruit" written on the sign.

As long as Songhua cake.

Next to it was put into jars, jars of light yellow pine pollen.

Pine pollen is a good thing.

The so-called pine pollen is generally the pine flower of Pinus massoniana, which is fragrant and sweet, and contains oil and rich trace elements, as well as more than 10 kinds of minerals needed by the human body

Among them, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, zinc, and iron are the most abundant; they contain selenium, enzymes and other physiologically active substances that inhibit tumor cells, as well as hormones, enzymes, and alkaloids that regulate physiological functions.

So eating pine flowers is good for the body.

And this pine flower has been recorded in Materia Medica before, and it is recorded in "Materia Medica Tujing": the yellow powder on the flower is called Songhuang, and the mountain people brush it in time, and it is very good for soup.But it is unbearable to stop for a long time, so it is rarely used to send it far.

It shows that people have been eating pine flowers for a long time.

In many places in Yunnan, in spring, many people will go up the mountain to "shake" pine pollen.

"Shaking" is a verb, because after the pine flowers are mature, place a container for the pine flowers below, and then shake the branches vigorously, and the pollen of the pine flowers will fall.

Collect these pollen, it becomes the pine pollen for making Songhua Cake.

Of course, more people will directly take off the immature pine flowers and take them home to dry. After a period of time, these pine flowers mature, and naturally they can collect a lot of pine pollen.

Li Xiao suddenly remembered that he hadn't drawn a lottery for fans for a long time.

So he bought some pine flowers.

These pine flowers are all put in jars, but if Li Xiao wants a lot, the uncle will not be able to get them out for the time being.

So Li Xiao only drew 50 fans.

"Everyone sees that this is a pine flower."

Li Xiao picked up a can of pine pollen from the booth and introduced it to the fans.

"This is the pine flower of Masson pine, which is rich in trace elements. Eating it is good for your health. You can check it online."

"It suddenly occurred to me that I haven't held a lottery for a long time, so let's give this away today."

The list of fans who won the lottery will come out soon.

There are 50 people respectively. Li Xiao finished buying the pine pollen and made an appointment with the uncle to pick it up later.

After all, he had to find a delivery point first.

These pine pollen seem to come in big jars.

If there is a courier point nearby, it can be sent directly, but if there is no place nearby, it will be difficult to carry.

Uncle sold a lot of pine pollen, very happy.

Pine pollen is not easy to collect, so the price is a bit expensive.

Even if it is made into pine flower cakes for sale, the pastry for 3 yuan and 5 pieces is only a small piece, not as big as a palm.

So except for tourists, few people buy it.

Li Xiao bid farewell to the uncle and began to wander around the ancient town.

Eating while walking, the Songhua cake I just bought in my hand.

Songhua cake, a small piece, can be eaten in one or two bites.

But if it is eaten directly, it may be a bit dry.

Li Xiao took a bite of the Songhua cake in his hand.

"This pine flower cake smells a little like that of pine trees. If you have smelled the smell of pine trees, you will know what it feels like."

"It smells very fragrant. Let's taste what this songhua cake tastes like."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he bit down.

"It's the smell of pine flowers, a little bit like nuts."

"It's filled with red bean stuffing, which tastes sweeter, but not particularly sweet."

"Sweet and oily, probably because the pine trees are rich in oil."

"And this pine flower cake doesn't stick to the teeth at all. The pine pollen is very delicate, but it won't make you feel like eating."

"This pine flower cake is thin and soft, not that kind of glutinous texture."

"People who may not be used to it will feel that this pine flower has a taste of Chinese medicinal materials."

"As mentioned earlier, pine flowers are recorded in Materia Medica."

"And pine flower has the functions of expelling wind, replenishing qi, absorbing dampness, and stopping bleeding, so people who are not used to it will feel a little pine flower smell."

"Generally speaking, this songhua cake is used as a dessert. It is moist and not too sweet, and it has a slight bitter taste inside. Personally, I still like it very much."

"If you have the conditions, you can come and taste it, or you can buy some pine pollen online to make pine flower cakes."

"If you want to make pine flower cakes, it is recommended that you steam them. This refers to the pine pollen you picked yourself. Of course, if you want to pick pine flowers, or want to collect pine pollen by yourself, you must prepare a strategy, because not all pine flowers are suitable. edible."

"The pine pollen that is more common in Yunnan is collected from Masson pine, which is also a relatively common pine tree."

"The method of making songhua cake has been posted on many social platforms, so I won't talk about it here."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he savored the Songhua cake in his mouth carefully.

It tasted pretty good.

Do you want to buy two more yuan later?Or get yourself a can of pine pollen.

Li Xiao thought so.

on the screen.

"I've never seen anything like a pine flower before."

"I haven't seen it before, I always thought that pine trees don't bloom."

"Me too, but I later thought that since there are pine cones on the pine tree, it is normal for the pine tree to bloom."

"I'm so lucky, Tiezi, just now the anchor drew a lottery, and I was actually drawn."

"Could it be that you are the legendary European Emperor?"

"No, I think that means he's a top, not pumping."

"You have watched too many Spring Festival Gala sketches, can this be used?"

"As soon as my pine pollen arrives, I'll make you a pine flower cake."

After punching in the card, the Songhua Cake in Shunhe Ancient Town, and strolling around the ancient town again, it is already afternoon.

Soon it was time for dinner.

Next, what Li Xiao wants to take everyone to check in is the earthen pot with Tengchong's local characteristics.

Earth pot is a very important variety in Tengchong flavor, unique to Tengchong.In addition to being in the homes of local people, you can also eat very authentic pots in the restaurant of Tengchong Hotel.

Li Xiao randomly found a shop in the ancient town, with a big sign hanging outside.

"Tengchong Earthen Pot".

Give this signboard a big close-up.

That's him.

Li Xiao checked the guide.

Then I learned that to eat Tengchong earthen pots, you need to pay attention to the order of putting the dishes.

Generally, the dishes that are resistant to cooking are placed on the bottom, and the dishes that are easy to cook are placed on the top.

And usually there are meat dishes on the bottom and vegetarian dishes on the top.

But these are not issues that Li Xiao needs to worry about.

After all, going to the store to eat, these are the business of the store.

After entering the store and obtaining the consent of the store owner, Li Xiao started the live broadcast.

"Hello, audience masters, good afternoon everyone."

"Your favorite anchor, I have appeared again."

"We've checked in before, big rescue, songhua cake, roasted pork rice noodles."

"Then why don't you come and guess what we're going to punch in next?"

"Look at the surrounding environment, maybe some careful audiences have already guessed it."

"That's right, what we're going to punch in next is the earthen pot, a local specialty delicacy in Tengchong, known as the hot sea of ​​volcanoes."

"Just now I have ordered something to eat with the store."

"Then we'll just sit here drinking tea and waiting."

In the process of negotiating with the store just now, Li Xiao had already ordered the dishes.

However, it is not recommended to eat earthen pots alone.

After all, it takes several people to finish a dish of earthen pot.

But there are exceptions like Li Xiao who eat a lot.

Sit down and take a sip of tea.

The tea in this store is tartary buckwheat tea, which has a fragrance of tartary buckwheat. It tastes a bit bitter, but it also has the aroma of grains, and finally you can taste a little bit of sweetness.

"Wow, the host has appeared again."

"Why doesn't the anchor have a dumpling with him?"

"Today is also a day to miss Danzi."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, do you think so?"

"Don't you guys want dumplings? The dumplings are so cute, and the dumplings are so fluffy."

"I love Tuanzi, of course, I also love the anchor, the anchor is my favorite anchor."

"New fans are here to confess their love, but our old fans are different. Old fans are either preparing ingredients or ordering takeaway."

"When watching the anchor's live broadcast, if there is nothing to eat, it will be too miserable."

"The brother in front said yes, so I've already ordered takeaway."

"Wouldn't it be even worse if you were hungry while watching the anchor's live broadcast? For example, I'm still catching the bus from get off work."

"My God, are you actually watching the live broadcast while waiting for the bus? Then when you get on the bus, are you also watching the host's food live broadcast? Are you sure you won't drool all over the subway?"

"This is not true, and when I was watching the live broadcast on the subway, I met several people who watched the same live broadcast as me."

"Yes, I also met it when I was driving last time, and then we happily added a friend, and played the cooking method taught by the anchor together."

"I used to watch the anchor's live broadcast while walking on the road when I got off work, and then I met a brother who was a cook. He said that the things taught by the anchor were very practical, so now he is my boyfriend."

"The anchor has drawn another wave of red lines invisibly."

"This reminds me of the little brother who stepped on wild flowers on the side of the road when I was catching insects."

"Ah, yes, I remembered too."

"My partner and I also met because of watching the live broadcast of the host. We were on a blind date that day, but I didn't want to go. After I went, I was playing with my mobile phone and watching the live broadcast. It turned out that the opposite party was just like me."

"So I chatted with him like this. We will get the certificate in two months. Everyone is welcome to come and have a wedding wine."

"The anchor, hurry up and work part-time as an old man, hahaha."

"The same goes for me and my girlfriend. We were chasing stars separately. He likes to watch handsome guys, and I like to watch beautiful women. Then one day, I suddenly came across this treasure live broadcast room."

"So I have no disagreement with him, and the two of us watch the live broadcast of the anchor together."

"Is it so amazing? Am I the only one who always watches it alone?"

"You are not alone in front of you."

"He in front scolded you for not being human."

The live broadcast room is still as active as ever.

So Li Xiao began to introduce Tengchong's earthen pots.

"I just checked relevant information and found that Tengchong people eat earthen pots, which seems to be related to ancestor worship."

"People in Tengchong eat earthen pots mostly during Qingming, October, and Chinese New Year."

"After they cook the earthen pot, they will dedicate the earthen pot to their ancestors first, so that they can eat it first."

"That is to worship the ancestors, and then I invite relatives and friends to sit in a circle and start eating earthen pots."

"Some people will make this earthen pot and bring it to the cemetery, and then set up the dishes. Please let everyone buy earthen pot dishes together."

"There are also some clay pots that are made and placed on the table at home to dedicate to their ancestors."

"You can eat it after offering it."

"The pot used in this clay pot is usually made of clay."

"There are many local people who can make earthen pots."

"It is said that Tengchong's earthen pot dishes are more troublesome to make, because these dishes have to be spread layer by layer."

"Usually put the hard-to-cook dishes on the bottom, and the easy-to-cook dishes on the top or the meat and vegetables."

"Then put a charcoal fire in the middle of the earthen pot and cook slowly."

While saying these words.

Li Xiao's dishes are ready.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of shopkeeper will prepare dishes and pots in advance. If someone orders food, they will directly put broth in the prepared pot and then put on the lit charcoal fire.

It's ready to serve.

A pot, a bit like a hot pot, was brought up.

But this pot is different from hot pot.

This pot is high in the middle and low on the outside.

In the high circle in the middle, there is a lit charcoal fire inside, and the outside is round, covered with a layer of ingredients.

After the charcoal fire in the middle is lit, the pottery has a strong heat preservation effect, which will increase the temperature in the pot, and the food in the pot will be cooked when the broth boils.

The food that is slowly cooked in clay pots is very delicious, and dishes of different colors are usually placed on it, and the colors are also pleasing to the eye.
