After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 82 Dali's Morning Market

On the first day of recording the program, Jiang Li and his friends chose to stroll around the streets of the ancient city of Dali.

It was half past six, and there were already quite a few morning market stalls set up outside.

Dali's morning market is an indispensable part of the life of the ancient city, full of vitality and vigor.

In the early morning, when the sun just shines on the streets and alleys of the ancient city, the morning market is already bustling.

Here, Jiang Li saw a variety of stalls filled with fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and seafood.

Vegetable farmers come from all directions to sell their home-grown vegetables in the market.

Most of these vegetables are freshly picked from local farmlands and are of high quality and delicious.

At the same time, there are various wild mushrooms and special snacks that make people salivate.

Of course, in addition to delicious food, there are also many handicrafts and special products at the morning market.

Jiang Li also saw many folk handicrafts with ethnic characteristics, such as embroidery and tie-dyeing, as well as various local specialties and souvenirs.

These products not only have strong ethnic characteristics but are also affordable. You can bring some back as souvenirs when you go back.

Strolling through the morning market, everyone felt the unique charm and atmosphere of the ancient city of Dali.

The early morning sun shines on the cobblestone road, with quaint buildings and bustling stalls on both sides.

The sounds of vendors shouting and customers bargaining make you feel as if you are in a vivid painting of an ancient city.

Although the scenery was beautiful, Jiang Li and his four companions did not forget the main purpose of this trip.

That is to taste the authentic food of Dali. Jiang Li thinks there must be snack stalls in the morning market that cannot be missed.

For example, the steaming soy milk fried dough sticks, the fragrant rice noodle soup, and the unique-tasting milk fan are all specialties of the Dali Ancient City that leave you with an endless aftertaste.

Several people planned to split up and sell their favorite breakfast, and then agreed to meet at a place.

Jiang Li’s favorite place to visit is this kind of morning market. He is like a mouse put into a rice jar, running away in an instant.

The first thing she saw was a stall selling roasted milk fan, a unique dairy product produced in Dali.

The shape is like a milky white or creamy yellow thin sheet, roughly in the shape of a diamond-shaped bamboo fan, with grippers at both ends.

The milk flan here is freshly made. The lady who sells it boils fresh milk and mixes it with edible acid to refine and coagulate it. She then makes it into thin slices and wraps them around thin poles to dry.

When Jiang Li was reading the travel guide before, he saw the roasted milk fan, which is a very local delicacy.

Dairy fan is eaten after being roasted and has a special cheese flavor, but may have a slightly fermented sour taste.

This may make it a little uncomfortable for some people when they first try it.

However, for those who enjoy its flavor, milk fan is a delicious food.

Especially in the ancient city of Dali, it has become a very famous local specialty food.

After buying the grilled milk fan, Jiang Li immediately ran to the stall selling rice noodles.

How can you not eat rice noodles when you go to Dali!

Dali rice noodles are string-shaped foods made from rice and can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as boiled, fried, braised, and mixed.

In Dali, locals prefer cold chicken rice noodles, which are made by tearing the poached chicken into strips and mixing them into the rice noodles.

If you add plum vinegar and some seasonings to it, the taste will be sweet and sour and smooth, making it a great choice for whetting the appetite and relieving heat.

Some locals prefer raw skin cold rice noodles. The combination of raw skin and rice noodles makes the taste more neutral. Add shredded radish and some seasonings to form a distinctive delicacy.

What Jiang Li wants to buy at this time is cold chicken rice noodles. The chicken in the cold chicken rice noodles is cooked and then torn into shreds.

These shredded chicken not only add texture to the rice noodles, but also provide rich protein. In order to increase the taste and flavor, the uncle who runs the stall will also add walnut sauce and small powder to the marinade.

These sauces blend perfectly with the rice noodles and shredded chicken, making the overall flavor more mellow.

Just smelling it will whet your appetite. Having a bowl of it early in the morning will make you feel extra energetic throughout the day.

After selling the rice noodles, Jiang Li went to the agreed place to meet everyone.

The five people were carrying large and small bags of delicious food in their hands, and it seemed that they had gained a lot.

Back in the courtyard, Zhu Xinliang set up a table and placed everything on it.

He Anguo washed five dishes in the kitchen, as well as a number of plates and basins, which he prepared to use to store things.

There were really all kinds of delicious food on the table, including the cold chicken rice noodles and grilled milk fan that Jiang Li bought.

There are also flower cakes, raw skin, plums, rolled pig’s trotters, rice-cooked shrimps, and so on.

It was so dazzling just looking at it that Jiang Li didn't know what to eat first.

She picked up the chopsticks and chose the cold chicken rice noodles she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Cold chicken rice noodles are sour and spicy, refreshing and appetizing, and very comfortable to eat in the morning.

The rice noodles are smooth and soft, paired with tender shredded chicken, and topped with bean sprouts, leeks and other side dishes, making the whole dish rich in taste.

The special marinade and seasonings add a unique flavor to this delicacy.

In every bite, you can feel the smoothness of the rice noodles, the tenderness of the chicken and the freshness of the side dishes.

Coupled with the moderate sour and spicy seasoning, people can't help but eat one bite after another.

Then there is the grilled breast floss, which has a completely different flavor compared to the cold chicken rice noodles.

The roasted milk fan has a crispy skin, while the inside retains the tender and smooth texture of the milk fan.

When you take a bite, you first taste the crispy outer layer, followed by the tender inner layer. The contrast in taste is very impressive.

The light milky aroma of the milk fan is even more memorable.

Coupled with the seasonings that may be added during the baking process, the taste of the baked milk fan becomes richer and more diverse.

As expected, if you have time, you should go out more often and eat so many delicious foods. How can you find them in City A?

Jiang Li was becoming happier and happier as he ate. He was already thinking about the next recording location, wondering what delicious food would be there.

The rolled pork trotters on the table were bought by He Anguo. They are made with fresh pork legs as the main ingredient, marinated with a variety of seasonings.

He Anguo took a bite and his eyes lit up instantly. The meat was fragrant and tasted delicious.

He gave a piece to each of the five people. Jiang Li picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Its crust is golden and attractive. When you take a bite, the crispy outer layer and the tender inner layer form a sharp contrast, which is very memorable.

The meat inside the rolled pig's trotter is tender and juicy, with a rich taste. It has the chewiness of lean meat and the fragrance of fat, which are perfectly blended together, making people unable to stop eating.

Moreover, the rolled pig's trotter has a unique aroma, which is emitted after the spices and seasonings are carefully cooked, which increases people's appetite at the first smell.

It was the first time for Jiang Li to taste such delicious food. While eating, he gave He Anguo a thumbs up.

"Brother, you discovered this delicious food. You're awesome!"

This look made the other four people around burst into laughter.

This girl is so interesting.
