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

Chapter 83 I’m full

The rolled pig’s trotters were still a bit greasy to eat early in the morning, but luckily Tian Guizhen bought a bag of plums.

Dali’s plums are also a specialty, and they are particularly refreshing when eaten with meat.

The quality of Dali's plums is particularly high due to the excellent local climatic conditions.

Moreover, Dali has a moderate climate, providing a good environment for the growth of plums.

Therefore, Dali plums often have beautiful colors, plump flesh, and a sour, crisp and delicious taste.

The plums Tian Guizhen bought were not ordinary plums, but carved plums made using special techniques.

Dali's carved plum blossoms can be regarded as a treasure among the traditional ethnic cuisine. It is not only a kind of food, but also a display of art.

Carved plums are made from green plums, which are carefully carved and pickled. They have a moderately sweet and sour taste, a fresh and crispy fragrance, and are very memorable.

In terms of craftsmanship, Dali carved plum blossoms require precision and patience.

First, the plums need to be soaked in lime water to soften them and make them easier to carve.

Next, the craftsmen will use a special plum carving knife to draw a center line in the middle of the plum, and then rotate it in the shape of a "human" character, repeatedly carving continuous and zigzag patterns on the plum flesh.

This process requires great skill and patience, as the craftsmen have to ensure that the shape of the plum remains intact while carving out the beautiful texture.

Finally, squeeze the plum pit out of the gap. At this time, the shape of the plum is still complete. With a light press, the plum will bloom like a golden flower.

After carving is complete, the next step is the pickling process.

The plums need to be soaked in salt water to remove the sour taste, then mixed with brown sugar, honey and other seasonings, and put into sand pots to soak for several months.

During this process, the sweet and sour taste of the plums and the sweet taste of the seasonings blend together to create a unique delicious taste.

When the plums turn golden yellow, you can take them out and eat them.

Because of these, Dali carved plum not only has a unique taste and rich nutrition, but also has a profound cultural connotation in the Dali area.

When buying carved plums before, the boss also told Tian Guizhen.

In the Dali area, many restaurants and hotels offer carved plum dishes of various flavors to meet the taste needs of different tourists.

I hope they can go and try it. After all, they have come all the way to Dali, and not just to record the show.

You must experience the local customs and culture and taste the local specialties.

Jiang Li looked at the beautiful carved plum blossom in his hand and did not expect that this small thing had to be made so carefully.

She was reluctant to eat it. If it were a work of art, it would be very beautiful to take home.

There was more than one delicacy on the table, and soon Jiang Li's attention was attracted by the other delicacies.

Rice is ground into flour to make rice jelly that looks like small shrimps, and then paired with crystal clear ice jelly and sweet syrup.

The taste is rich, sweet and refreshing.

There are also dahlia flower cakes, which are famous for their unique floral fragrance and crispy texture.

The flower cake is made with fresh flower petals as the filling, and paired with a crispy outside and tender inside cake. Every bite is filled with the fragrance of flowers, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

As expected of Dali, these delicacies are simply so tempting.

As the morning went by, everyone slumped on their stools, simply because they were too full.

There was no way out. A group of people touched their round bellies, looking like they were about to be bloated.

Jiang Li stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to see if he could make something to help digest the food.

Maybe because we just moved in, the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, but there was nothing edible.

Jiang Li searched for a while and finally found a bag of barley from the innermost part. Why not make barley tea? It can strengthen the spleen and digestion, improve food stagnation, and is also a good choice for digestion.

However, the barley is still raw and needs to be fried with ginger before it can be used.

The production process of barley tea mainly includes two steps: frying and brewing.

The process of frying barley is to put it into a pot and fry it until the surface is slightly charred. The roasted barley is then brewed with hot water to produce a rich and fragrant tea.

In order to increase the taste, Jiang Li also poured a little honey into it.

Jiang Li brought the prepared barley tea out and poured a cup for everyone.

In fact, the taste of barley tea itself is also very unique.

Zhu Xinliang’s favorite drink is barley tea, because it naturally has a light wheat aroma.

This fragrance is very natural and fresh, as if making people feel as if they are in a wheat field, feeling the freshness and tranquility of nature.

In terms of taste, barley tea is soft and smooth, unlike some teas that have a bitter or irritating feeling.

Its taste is mellow yet refreshing, with a long aftertaste that leaves you with an endless aftertaste.

In addition, barley tea has a good thirst-quenching and food-digesting effect. After drinking a sip, the originally bloated stomach will feel a lot more comfortable.

Zhu Xinliang also tasted the sweetness of honey from it, which combined with the aroma of wheat was a very novel experience.

Maybe because they ate too much in the morning, several people looked for some entertainment activities in the yard in the morning.

So that we can go out for another meal at noon.

It’s a pity that it’s almost early summer and there is no hawthorn available, otherwise hawthorn would have the best digestive effect.

Although there was no hawthorn, there was barley tea made with Jiang Li. After drinking it, I felt that my stomach had digested a lot.

After exercising for a while, Jiang Li and the other four immediately said that they could go out for dinner again.

The cameraman who was following the five people was a little confused. Was he filming a food-making program or a food-eating show?

Everything was normal last night. The curry braised pork made by five people looked delicious.

How come it suddenly turned into a food show today, and it’s an food show with several people eating together.

The cameraman who was filming the scene couldn't help but swallow his saliva several times.

He didn't want to be so greedy, but their working meals always had the same few dishes, and he was tired of them.

How can it be compared with the special food here in Dali?

So, Jiang Li and his friends went to a mushroom hotpot restaurant for lunch based on the recommendations of many netizens online.

I heard online that this hotpot restaurant specializes in mushroom hotpot, and there are waiters at each table with a timer to explain.

While enjoying the food, guests can also learn about the cooking techniques of mushroom hotpot.

At the same time, Dali’s mushroom hotpot is one of the local specialties and is loved by tourists and locals.

This hot pot uses mushrooms as the main ingredient, combined with Dali's rich wild mushroom resources to create a unique and delicious hot pot flavor.

In the preparation of mushroom hotpot, the selection of ingredients is crucial.

Dali is located in a plateau area and has a unique natural environment, rich in various wild mushrooms.

These wild mushrooms are not only rich in variety but also of high quality, providing a high-quality source of ingredients for mushroom hotpot.
