"Sour ant eggs are the smallest and most fragrant eggs in the world. They are rich in protein. Even the Dai people often use them to entertain relatives and friends. After tasting them, they are memorable."

As Li Xiao spoke, he mustered up the courage to take a bite of "Cold Sour Ants" and said,

"The taste of this dish is sour and slightly sweet. It may be because the yellow ants themselves are sour, so the sour taste is relatively strong. It is more appetizing."

"Of course the most important thing is the sour taste."

"Cold Sour Ants is a Dai cuisine, and most Dai dishes are sour and spicy."

"I have to say that there are countless weird delicacies, and Yunnan really accounts for half of them. You see, things like ant eggs are really, really rare in other places."

Li Xiao complained, but fortunately the taste of the cold sour ants was not unpleasant.

It's quite acceptable.

"Although the host said so, I still dare not eat it."

"Oh my god, this is really a disaster for a trypophobic patient like me."

"I don't think so. This dish looks delicious!"

"Anyone who can eat this dish is a warrior. Anchor, I will replace the wine with milk and give you a toast."

“Looks delicious!!!”

"Are you all normal people in front of you, and you actually think this thing is delicious?"

"This thing obviously doesn't look like something delicious."

"Oh my god, I have trypophobia. I regret not leaving earlier."

"Can anyone tell me why Yunnan people eat such strange things as ant eggs?"

"I've heard of a dish called Ants Climbing a Tree before, and I thought this ant egg would be similar."

"I didn't expect that he was actually made of ant eggs."

"Everyone, take a look, this Yunnanese can handle it. There are insects, and they really eat them."

"People not only eat bugs, they also eat mushrooms. If you are not careful, you may see villains."

Li Xiao looked at the barrage, put down his spoon,

"In fact, there are many unknown things in life waiting for us to explore slowly one by one. If we stop here, it will be of no benefit to you, and it will make you more timid."

"So, if you see strange food like this, but the locals like it very much, you can actually try it."

"Do you remember the saying, the first person to eat crabs?"

"It is said that a long time ago, when Dayu was controlling the floods, people discovered crabs."

"People are very disgusted with this strange-looking bug with two large pincers. It wasn't until a person tried to eat crab that people discovered that it is a very delicious food."

"Even delicious crabs were considered disgusting bugs when they were not tried many years ago."

"There are many things, if you don't try them, you will never know what they are like."

"Just like insects that were disgusting in people's minds a long time ago, haven't they also become a delicious delicacy?"

"Including the various insect feasts in Yunnan, and the sour ant eggs I am eating now. Regardless of their appearance, they are still very sour and spicy and appetizing."

Li Xiao smiled at the audience in front of the screen.

"I have heard this story a long time ago, and I think the anchor is right."

"Isn't it? No, no one ate such delicious crabs in ancient times."

"When it's not ancient times, the era the anchor mentioned should be very old, maybe even older than the ancient times you mentioned."

"There's really no need to argue like this, okay?"

"No wonder our teacher always said that the first person to eat crabs was because no one ate crabs in ancient times."

"We must also be the first to try something new. Only by having the courage to try can we discover more beautiful things in this world."

"Look, look, the composition material is here, isn't it?"

"Netizens have already typed the composition materials on the screen. I don't think anyone is saying that it is useless for us to watch the live broadcast."

"Although you have watched the previous live broadcast, do you think you can write about these themes?"

"Well, I still can't write it."

"Just because my mother saw this barrage of yours, my mother asked me to go back and write down my thoughts after watching the live broadcast."

"Don't panic, we support you."

"Hahaha, I support you too."

Netizens on the barrage are still active.

"Okay, having said all that, I hope you all can try the 'Cold Sour Ants' if you have the opportunity. Although it looks a bit scary, it really tastes good."

"Moreover, his method is also very simple."

"First we need to find a nest of sour ants that make this dish. When we find the ants' nest, we use glue to seal the entrance and exit of the ants, and then we can capture the entire nest."

As if he was afraid that the fans in the live broadcast room would reject him, Li Xiao talked about his own methods.

However, the fact is that fans in the live broadcast room will really refuse.

Everyone is not very interested in this method, after all, few people really want to eat sour ants.

Except for those who have had this custom since childhood, everyone will be put off by the appearance of this dish.

"When eating, shake the ant nest frequently so that the acid balls stored in the nest will break and stick to each other. Then break the nest and put it into a plate. Add salt and chili and stir. It is ready to use. It is sour and spicy, especially delicious!

"

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the barrage with a smile.

"I think after listening to the anchor brother's words, I want to try it even more. I will ask my mother to take me there this summer. In order to encourage the anchor, I will give you a rocket."

A rocket pattern flashed on the screen, Li Xiao frowned, and then sent the money to the little girl via private message.

This child looks like he is underage at first glance.

It’s really inappropriate to reward minors.

"If you have no earning power and are still a minor, don't buy gifts. The first reason is because your family will scold you if they know about it in the future, and as good children, we should not touch our parents without their consent.

money.”

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The second one is that I hope you can understand your parents. It is really not easy to make money now. If you want to give gifts, grow up quickly."

!I will use the money I earn to give gifts in the future, do you understand?"

"Of course I don't mean to ask for gifts. I mainly want to tell you that it's not easy for parents to make money. If you can, save it. Don't use your parents' money to reward me."

There was a wave of words on the barrage, "Love it, love it".

"Wow, the anchor has such a good outlook!"

“Applause for the host’s three views.”

"(Applause)(Applause)(Applause)"

“This deserves applause!”

"As expected, he is my favorite anchor."

"Okay, remember what I said."

Li Xiao talked about some big principles again, and then returned the content to his live broadcast.

"Speaking of yellow ants, here is another interesting little bit of knowledge."

"The Dai people also like to use it to make ant vinegar. The specific method is like this."

"Put the adult sour ants in a jar or bottle, seal it without adding water, and the sour juice in the body glands of the ants placed in the jar will be slowly soaked out."

"When mixing vegetables, pour out a little juice, put it in a bowl with some ants, pour in some cold water and stir, and it will become a sour ant vinegar with a unique taste."

"Of course, in addition to sour ant vinegar, there is also a more common vinegar in Yunnan, which is papaya vinegar."

"You must have seen it before. During our live broadcast, there were many roadside vendors selling rolled rice noodles and some cold food."

"Of course, there is also pea flour, which is called oil flour in some places. Cut it into small pieces and put it in a bowl. Add their own homemade chili, chopped green onion, and salt and MSG for seasoning."

"It's a very common snack."

“Papaya vinegar is also very common on the stalls.”

"Yunnan people usually use it as vinegar, but papaya vinegar is different from ordinary stone vinegar. Papaya vinegar is sour and sweet, not just sour."

"At the food stall I mentioned earlier, if the food is too spicy, diners will usually ask the stall owner for a spoonful of papaya vinegar."

"Then drink it deliciously. It's sour and sweet, and it helps with intestinal digestion."

"It's equivalent to drinking it as a drink, and it's said to relieve the spiciness."

"The preparation of papaya vinegar is also very simple. It only requires sour papaya and water and salt. No oil should be touched during the process. The production cycle takes about three months."

"This cycle will vary depending on the temperature. The numbers mentioned here are not standard."
