Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 697
Pick it up with chopsticks.

The sandwiched rice noodles are white and covered with chopped coriander and chives.

"Well, because of the bitter water added to this rice noodle, it still tastes a little bit bitter."

"However, these spices are added in sufficient quantities, which can well cover the bitterness."

"In fact, if you have the opportunity, you can eat more of this kind of bitter water. Bitterness, it has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification. It is refreshing and cool, so you don't have to worry about getting angry."

Li Xiao ate while talking, the rice noodle tasted smooth and refreshing, and it was sweet after bitterness.

Although Kushui can be made by himself, the taste seems to be a little different from that of Liang Kusa.

With a slight bitter taste and a very fresh taste, the rice noodles are still delicious.

As the method of making Kushui has been mentioned before, what this store sells is ordinary boiled rice noodles with beef soup.

Therefore, Li Xiao ate rice noodles silently the whole time, without saying anything.

The rice noodle here only costs [-] yuan a bowl, which is not expensive, and one bowl is enough to fill you up.

After breakfast, Li Xiao went to the tea-picking town.

Although the tea-picking season has already passed, the most authentic Icelandic tea can only be bought in the mountains.

After going up the mountain, Li Xiao, who is so social, found a villager.

After the villagers learned that he wanted to buy tea, they enthusiastically took Li Xiao around.

He even took Li Xiao to the mountain to see the tea trees.

The acre-by-acre tea fields on the mountain were neat and tidy, and the tea grower showed Li Xiao some photos he had taken before.

White camellias, green tea fields, and some tea brews.

These photos were carefully stored in the mobile phone by the tea farmer. When Li Xiao asked, he would take out the mobile phone and show Li Xiao the photos.

Because the season has passed, I don't pick tea recently, but I already have some tea at home.

The longer Pu'er tea is stored, the more mellow its taste will be.

Therefore, the price of Pu'er that has been stored for a long time will become more and more expensive.

Tea is picked and roasted every year, so every year there will be a few people like Li Xiao who come to travel and want to buy tea.

Tea farmers have long been familiar with it.

I took Li Xiao to visit the green tea fields, but Li Xiao didn't see the century-old tea.

Although precious, it is just a very old tea tree after all.

The main reason is that there is still a need for a pass to see the tea tree, so Li Xiao didn't go to see it.

After buying some tea at the tea farmer's house, Li Xiao asked if there was anything delicious nearby.

However, I learned a place worth visiting from the tea farmers.

In Cangyuan, Lincang, there is a small town where the Wa people gather.

It is said that you can have a special Wa King banquet there.

As soon as he said he would leave, Li Xiao drove the caravan with the dumpling and drove to the destination with the navigation.

The Wa King Banquet was originally a special banquet used by the leaders of the Wa people to entertain distinguished guests.

Of course, in modern times, its meaning is different from before.

Most of the Wa King’s banquets now have a commercial flavor, and in some small towns or places where ethnic minorities gather, there will be people doing this kind of banquet.

In this kind of place, you can get a closer understanding of the living conditions of ethnic minorities.

What was the banquet of the Wa king in the past like? As the Wa king, how would he entertain distinguished guests from afar?

With this question in mind, Li Xiao came to Cangyuan.

Then I entered a small town of the Wa people and booked a banquet for the Wa king in the evening.

At the same time, the people who participated in the Wa King's Banquet certainly did not know that Li Xiao was the only one, and there were some other tourists who were also arranged at the same table as Li Xiao.

In the afternoon, the dumpling was brought out to play for a while.

But because it was too hot, it was put back in the RV and turned on the air conditioner.

Tuanzi is hairy, no matter what season, the hair on the body is always thick.

Li Xiao began to think about whether to trim his hair, after all, it was too hot in summer.

But he quickly dismissed the idea, because he had never heard of anyone trimming a panda's hair.

Although we are now in the tropics, it shouldn't be a problem for Xiaotuanzi to use the air conditioner more.

At worst, don't let it go, he just comes out to play.

Or let him out to play for a while, if he feels hot, let him go back to blow on the air conditioner.

Tuanzi is probably the only panda that can blow on the air conditioner every day.

It's time for dinner in the evening.

After Li Xiao arrived, he sat on the stool.

The table of Wa King Banquet is very long, and there are rich dishes on the long table.

However, these dishes are not served on a plate and placed on top.

Instead, spread a layer of banana leaves on the table, and then pour the seasoning and dishes directly on top of the banana leaves.

This is a special way of eating.

Including chopsticks and bowls cannot be used when eating, and you can only eat with your hands.

Very authentic.

After communicating with the person in charge for a while, the person in charge finally agreed to Li Xiao's request to broadcast live.

After all, Li Xiao is a top-notch anchor no matter what.

Now that there are so many fans on the Internet taking photos for themselves, it is also a kind of publicity.

Although the name is Wa King Banquet, in fact it still has to make money.

It's just a form of eating, and the person in charge hopes that others can give him more publicity.

In this way, more curious tourists may be attracted to eat, and the store can make more money.

Moreover, there are more tourists and the tourism industry is stimulated, which is also beneficial to the local people.

After obtaining permission to shoot, Li Xiao started the live broadcast.

"Masters of the audience, I'm back again."

"In the afternoon, we went to the tea garden to buy some Icelandic tea."

"It's all Pu'er tea roasted by some tea farmers themselves."

"I also bought a big tea cake, and I plan to store it in a suitable temperature for him. Maybe it can be used as a family heirloom in the future."

"Pu'er is more valuable as time goes by."

Li Xiao greeted the gentlemen in the audience, and then made a joke.

Then Li Xiao took a picture of where he is now, so that fans can guess where he is now.

"Everyone, this is where I am now. Guess what we are going to eat tonight?"

"I believe some smart viewers have already guessed what to eat tonight."

"I went to the tea garden this afternoon to buy tea and visit the tea trees, and then I came to Cangyuan."

"Here we will witness the special banquet that the Wa king of the Wa ethnic group entertained distinguished guests many years ago."

"That is the table of food we are going to taste tonight."

"The local name is Wa King's Banquet, well, I'm going to wash my hands next, and everyone should remember to wash their hands before eating."

Li Xiao didn't look at what was said on the barrage after finishing speaking.

Just followed the person in charge, and then came to a basin.

A girl dressed in ethnic minority clothing drew some hot water from a bucket with a ladle.

The first step in eating Wa King’s Banquet is to wash your hands with hot water.

Because the next time you eat, you don't use bowls and chopsticks, but use your own hands to grab the food.

Very convenient.

After washing your hands, it's almost time to serve the food.

Before the food was served, Li Xiao sat in his seat and chatted with his fans during this time.

"Wow, the anchor is going to have the Wa King's banquet tonight!"

"Hearing the name, I think it's very grand. It's the banquet used by King Wa to entertain distinguished guests in the past!"

"I think you still think too much about the previous one. Although it was a banquet for honored guests before, you can eat now as long as you pay, okay?"

"Don't even say that. In fact, many ethnic minorities are still very hospitable. As long as you go to their villages, you are their honored guest to them, and they will treat you well."

"Of course, if you really want to travel to the villages of ethnic minorities, you must check the customs and taboos of these ethnic minorities in advance, so as not to make taboos."

"The people in front reminded us very well that if we go to villages of ethnic minorities, these must be checked."

"This is respect and courtesy for ethnic minorities, and it can also prevent us from accidentally committing taboos and being hated by others."

"If you break a taboo while eating, and then you are kicked out by the host's house in a very serious way, that would be very bad."

"Well, I think there should be very few people driving people away now."

"But if the situation you said really happens, it will be really embarrassing."

"Did the anchor inquire about the customs of ethnic minorities before coming?"

The corners of Li Xiao's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled confidently.

"I have checked the customs and taboos of ethnic minorities before I came here."

"Every time I go to a minority village, I check their taboos and customs."

"In this way, we can get along with them better."

Although he said so on the surface, in fact Li Xiao whispered in his heart, in fact, he didn't need to look up the information to know.

Because the skills given by the system can look up those materials.

As long as you think about it, those materials will automatically emerge in your mind.

It can be said that it is very convenient.

After asking this question, the fans started chatting about other things.

The current fans are really good at diverting attention.

Li Xiao thought to himself.

Anyway, he hadn't started eating yet, so Li Xiao was watching what they were talking about on the barrage.

You can talk about everything, but there are very few people who talk about food.

The more serious comments were all about where Li Xiao was going next stop.

While talking, the dishes started to be served on the table.

The attention of the audience was gradually drawn back by the people who served the dishes.

Start serving.

The system beep also sounded at this time.

[Ding dong!Check in successfully, the gourmet restaurant you check in is: [Special Wa King Banquet]]

"Ding dong! System rating. [Special Wa King Banquet] is rated as four stars."

[Money: 20000]

【Fame: 40】

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

Li Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was in a good mood.

The check-in rewards of the system have finally arrived.

Li Xiao thought to himself, and glanced at the people serving the food from time to time.

Most of the dishes are served directly on the plantain leaves.

Including the seasoning is also placed directly on the leaves.

The waiter who placed the seasonings walked up to Li Xiao, and then placed several kinds of seasonings on the banana leaves in front of Li Xiao.

Then he walked to another seat and continued to arrange the seasonings.

Others are also placing dishes one after another.

Of course not all dishes are served directly on the plantain leaves.

Some dishes are served on a small plate.

Other diners have also been in place one after another.

Sitting next to Li Xiao is a young man who looks very talkative.

He came with his girlfriend.

The young man was very talkative and chatted with his girlfriend for a while, but the girlfriend's eyes were fixed on the mobile phone the whole time, reading novels for a while, and watching videos for a while, not much time was spent on the young man.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the little girl doesn't love her, it's probably because the two of them have been together for too long, and the little girl just finds her annoying.

Seeing that his girlfriend didn't talk to him very much, the young man started talking to other people again.

First, I talked to the eldest sister next to me, but in the end I had nothing to say.

"Young man, how old are you? How is your job? Do you have a car and a house? When did your girlfriend get together? When do you plan to get married? When will you have a baby..."

The aunt first activated his talkative ability and attacked the young man.

"Auntie, I'm 25 this year. I feel that I have a good job. I have a house, but I don't have a car. My girlfriend has been with me for a long time. I plan to get married next year. It depends on her to have a baby. I like it. I have a girlfriend..."

"Auntie, do you know? My girlfriend and I are childhood sweethearts. When we were very young, my girlfriend and I played balabala together..."

"Aunt, the shoes on your feet look good, where did you buy them? Send me a link or give me an address, and I will buy a pair of balabala for my mother..."

"Auntie, how old are you this year? How much is your pension? How much is it? How much is your pension? How much savings do you have in your family? Have you given birth to a son or a daughter?"

"Does your son or daughter have a partner? How is your job? Do you have a car and a house? When do you plan to get married? Do you have any grandchildren at home..."

Aunt never thought that she would still meet an opponent in this life.

And the opposite is actually a young man who is only 25 years old.

This guy talks too much nonsense.

In the end, the aunt was overwhelmed and was left speechless by this young man.

In the end, the aunt found an excuse to go to the toilet, and then avoided the young man's verbal attack.
