234. Dongguan Three Treasures----[Tangerine Peel]

 After closing the live broadcast, Li Xiao left the lobster restaurant under the auspices of the fat boss and the call girl.

When leaving, Li Xiao heard someone calling his name in the queue.

He was a little surprised, a little pleasantly surprised, but still a little helpless. Someone actually rushed over from home immediately after seeing his live broadcast. Isn't this too enthusiastic and too trusting in himself?

He hurriedly chatted with his loyal fans for a while before leaving [Shiyue Siege] and getting into his black Mercedes-Benz.

The acting driver watched Li Xiao walking away and turning around to interact with the fans in the team. He couldn't help but look at his guests today with some curiosity.

He secretly thought that this guy was actually a big star. He looked Li Xiao up and down. It was indeed normal for such a handsome guy to be a star.

If he was so handsome, he would have acted as a substitute driver and just made his debut on the spot.

In fact, Li Xiao didn't drink any wine, but when he ate the crayfish, he obviously smelled a strong smell of wine in the crayfish. Yes, it was the smell of wine, not the aroma of wine.

Obviously, during the cooking process of the crayfish, they did not completely evaporate the alcohol content of the crayfish, otherwise this situation would not occur.

According to the normal cooking order, alcohol is not normally included in the dishes.

Therefore, after discovering the problem, he not only called for a driver, but also reminded the audience in the live broadcast room.

After all, in the subconscious mind of many people, eating crayfish is very safe, and there will definitely be no problem of drunk driving.

As for why such a problem occurred, Li Xiao thought there could only be one reason.

That is, before the dishes are served in the pot, in order to increase the aroma of crayfish, the chef sprinkles a ring of Huadiao wine or brandy on the edge of the pot.

However, when I sprinkled the Huadiao and brandy, my technique was too heavy and I accidentally sprinkled too much wine.

This situation occurs when high temperatures cannot decompose all the wine instantly.

Sure enough, the car was stopped halfway through the journey. Although there was a driver in the car, the traffic warden from the Security Department still politely asked the driver to test his alcohol content.

There was no such thing as drunk driving, and the tester did not make any sound.

However, Li Xiao did not leave directly. Instead, he asked to take a test himself. Upon hearing his request, the traffic controller directly refused at first.

After all, Li Xiao's request was very strange and did not conform to their work procedures. However, when he saw the backend interface of Mao Mao Live shown by Li Xiao, he understood that Li Xiao was a well-known food anchor and wanted to find out.

After eating alcoholic food, will there be a situation of drunk driving, and we plan to remind the viewers in the live broadcast room.

The administrator thought about it and immediately reported the situation to his captain, who immediately agreed without hesitation.

After all, he is very aware of the propaganda power of these big anchors. No matter how much traffic controllers like him call out, it is not as good as their idols to stand up and say a few words.

After all, it is also good for drivers to clearly understand the importance of hiring a driver after drinking. Let these drunk people either take the car back or call a driver, as long as their actions can reduce the risk of even one traffic accident.

It's very good.

After getting the consent, Li Xiao turned on the video recording equipment, then put his head to the alcohol tester and tested it. It was exactly what he expected. After he blew into it, the alcohol detector turned on a red light.

I took a look at the numbers above

[Alcohol content is 25 mg per 100 ml of blood]

It just exceeded the standard of 20 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood.

If Li Xiao hadn't called for a driver, he would have been driving under the influence. He was secretly glad that he almost lost his driver's license because of a late night snack. Fortunately, he had the skills given by the system so that he could clearly feel the situation.

The smell of alcohol in the dishes, otherwise I would be in trouble this time.

Of course, in fact, if the amount exceeds a few milligrams, the driver can apply for a reexamination and ask to go to a nearby tertiary hospital for a blood test.

As long as you drink plenty of water during this period, the distance to the hospital is far enough, and the body metabolizes alcohol quickly enough, then normally, the blood test results will show that the alcohol content in every 100 ml of blood is low.

In the case of 20 mg.

[There are tens of millions of roads, safety is the first priority, never take the law by yourself!!! However, if an unexpected situation does occur, such as drinking the night before and still driving under the influence this morning, you can try this method. 】

Thanks to the help of the traffic controllers from the Security Department, the black Mercedes-Benz was back on the road.

Li Xiao quickly edited the video just now and paired it with thrilling music to remind his fans not to try the law on their own.

At the same time, he also took out the business card that the fat boss had forced into his hand just now, called the other party, told the other party what had just happened, and asked him to pay more attention.

After all, if a guest comes to your place for a meal and gets drunk and drives, that will be a big problem. After all, not everyone can have such keen taste buds.

Hearing Li Xiao's reminder, the fat boss broke out in a cold sweat and cursed his chef crazily in his heart, almost getting himself into big trouble.

After all, Li Xiao’s live broadcast just now was videotaped. If he is found to be drunk driving when he has not drunk, the responsibility must be his lobster restaurant. If someone holds a grudge and spares no effort to blackmail him later, then I guess his

There is no need to keep the store open.

After returning home safely, Li Xiao finished washing, lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Li Xiao also woke up very early on the second day, although he went to bed after 3 o'clock the day before and worked for a full 20 hours.

But with the help of the 4-point recovery attribute given by the system, he only needs a few hours of sleep to return to full health.

I put on my running equipment, took along the chirping little blue, and started my daily exercise training again.

After checking in and gaining a few more attribute values, Li Xiao could clearly feel that his body had undergone very obvious changes.

Soon the sports watch on his hand beeped, indicating that he had completed today's 10-kilometer training session.

He raised his eyebrows. Today's speed was obviously faster than before. He glanced at the time: 28 minutes and 50 seconds.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. In just one day, his own record was broken by himself, and it was still a full minute faster. This improvement was really too scary.

Although he doesn't know much about sports, he still knows that most athletes' training progress is very slow.

Sometimes they train hard for several months, control their diet, and carry out specialized training for more than ten hours a day, and the final result is not much more than a few seconds of improvement. Some athletes who are already close to their peak state, after working hard for several months, even just a few seconds.

There can be progress in a few tenths of a second.

It seems that I have to be careful when running in front of everyone in the future and control my speed. Otherwise, if people know that I can improve by one minute a day, I am afraid that I will not be able to live in peace.

Even if he won't be dragged into slices for study, it is estimated that the Sports Bureau of the Han Dynasty will set up a tent in front of his house, so that he can become a full-time athlete and win glory for the country.

Of course, it is good to be efficient for the country, but it is absolutely impossible for him to become a full-time athlete.

After all, this is not his hobby, but there are some things that he can't help himself, once he really becomes famous in this area.

Just by refusing the invitation of the national team, I am afraid that I will be drowned in the sea of ​​​​people.

Thinking about how he would look like a rat crossing the street, Li Xiao shuddered. It seemed that he really needed to pay more attention in the future.

Feeling that his body was only slightly warm after running 10 kilometers, and the sweating on his body was not obvious, Li Xiao did not stop, turned around and ran towards the nearest vegetable market.

He doesn't plan to go out to live broadcast today. He plans to cook some side dishes at home to reward himself.

Of course, another reason is that I was in too much limelight yesterday, and staying at home today just makes my limelight a little less.

If he went out today, he was afraid that he would be recognized directly.

When he got up this morning, he discovered that his Weixin, which had been silent at first, suddenly had many red spots.

Moreover, most of these red dots were classmates and friends he had not contacted for a long time. He was a little surprised. He didn't know why these people suddenly thought of him, so he clicked on a few of the red dots.

After taking a look at the content, he immediately understood what was going on.

It turns out that he became famous due to his live broadcast yesterday. Not only did he rank first in the popularity list in the food area of ​​Mao Mao Live.

After eating, many people posted Jiugongge in their WeChat Moments, along with text. Basically, these people who came to the store were people living in the Dongguan area. Some classmates and friends who knew Li Xiao appeared in the picture.

Li Xiao was recognized.

Not to mention them, even Li Xiao found traces of himself in his circle of friends, and not just one or two, but many. This was one of the reasons why he decided not to go live today.

Looking at the noisy Xicun Market, Li Xiao felt a little emotional. He remembered that the last time he came here was many years ago.

If I remember correctly, my mother took me here to visit a relative when I was in junior high school, and stopped by to buy some New Year goods.

There is a big difference between the Xi Cun Market in front of me and the Xi Cun Market in my memory, giving people a feeling that things are different and people are different.

You know, although the market is pretty good in terms of traffic now, it is indeed not as good as before.

Moreover, due to the lack of daily maintenance, the original cement road here has become bumpy, and many places have been completely broken, exposing the foundation on the cement road, which was only filled with some gravel and sand.

Many corner shops have even been closed. You must know that today is the most popular weekend. All shops are closed today. It is obvious that the shops have closed down. Otherwise, as a merchant, you will never miss the weekend business hours.

And most of the people who come here are elderly uncles and aunts, and most of them are people of the same age as their parents.

Some young customers are mostly pushing small carts or following a tricycle. It is obvious that some merchants come here to purchase goods.

This is a market that combines wholesale and retail. Of course, it's mostly wholesale, but the boss here doesn't mind whether you are wholesale or retail. As long as conditions permit, he can even take it apart from a large piece of goods.

I'll sell you a small pack.

Of course, the price must be the retail price. The boss here knows very well that the reason why Li Xiao came here is to buy some Dongguan specialties.

There are many kinds of "Three Treasures" in Guangdong. Some people think they are tangerine peel, old ginger, and graminicola;

Salted kumquat.

Among the three treasures, the positions of two of them are very stable, while the last one has its own interpretation.

Li Xiao came here this time because he wanted to wholesale some tangerine peel, one of the three treasures of Guangdong, to take home, both for storage and for consumption.

There are many uses of tangerine peel, including making tea, making sugar water, making soup, and cooking. Basically every household in Guangdong stores some tangerine peel.

However, the most famous place for tangerine peel is not in Dongguan, but in a place called Xinhui. Li Xiao is interested in going to Xinhui after the new year.

He planned to buy some tangerine peels in large quantities there. After all, the older the tangerine peels were, the more effective they would be and the higher their value would be.

During the citrus harvest season, pick the citrus skin when it turns from green to yellow. Take only the peel of the citrus, cut the citrus open with three or four knives, take out the citrus peel, dry it in the sun, and store it for a certain period of time.

A good piece of tangerine peel.

In addition, tangerine peel is used in making many Cantonese dishes. It is not a big problem to store it at home, and it is also quite easy to store. It does not need to dig a cellar for low-temperature storage like red wine.

As long as things like tangerine peel are not placed in a humid place and don't let it grow mold, it's fine.

And even if there is mold, as long as the mold spots are not red or black, it can still be eaten. As long as it is exposed to the sun for a period of time, the mold spots on it will automatically fall off.

And it is very convenient to use. The most important thing is that the medicinal properties of tangerine peel are very mild, so both the elderly and children, sick or not, can eat it.

Li Xiao's eyes kept scanning over the shops with a sense of age, and he hesitated whether to start his own live broadcast.

However, after thinking about it, he still rejected the idea. Although there is a wholesale business here, the price will not be much lower if he comes here to get the goods as a newbie.

If you really want to bring you some good products, it’s best to go to the local area.

Besides, I need to start a live broadcast later when I'm cooking, so I'm not in a hurry.

Li Xiao took a look at the price. He had never bought anything like this before. After all, it was his mother who did the grocery shopping at home, and after he left, he rarely saw things like tangerine peel outside.

Normally, tangerine peels that are less than three years old do not appear on the market, because there is a paradox here. Tangerine peels that are less than three years old are not called tangerine peels, and those with a shelf life of less than three years can only be called peels or orange peels.

Only when the storage time reaches the wonderful point of three years can tangerine peel be called tangerine peel, and as time goes by, the longer the aging time, the higher the value.

This is similar to abalone. The longer the storage time of abalone, the better.

The price of three-year-old tangerine peel that is just ready for consumption here is very low. You can get a pound for 100 yuan. If you want more, the boss will give you some appropriate discounts, but once the time goes by, the price will increase.

will start to soar.

Li Xiao has no intention of looking at some tangerine peels of relatively small vintages. After all, he is not short of a hundred or dozens of dollars now. He is targeting tangerine peels with a storage period of more than 10 years.

Although tangerine peel is easy to preserve, because it is used in large quantities, the older it is, the smaller the inventory on the market is. However, the inventory of tangerine peel that is about 10 years old is still very large.

Li Xiao looked at a few stores, and basically they all fluctuated between 600 and 800 yuan per catty.

As for why there is such a price fluctuation, it mainly depends on the quality of the tangerine peel.

Since there is a kind of weather called Hui Nantian in Guangdong, tangerine peel, which seems to be very easy to preserve, is actually very dangerous in Guangdong.

Because once we return to Nantian, the humidity in the air will be very high. Many times, the ground and walls will be covered with water droplets. In some serious cases, you need to turn on the dehumidification function of the air conditioner at home 24 hours a day, otherwise there will even be water droplets on the ground.

Stagnant water, yes it is stagnant water!!! You read that right!!!

This also leads to the fact that tangerine peels can be obtained only if they are not stored in a humid place. It is very easy to become damp and moldy due to the influence of Hui Nantian. This may cause the entire batch of tangerine peels to be unusable, which is why the quantity of tangerine peels is small.

One of the reasons.

However, as mentioned before, if mold appears, it can still be used as long as it is dried in the sun, but this will reduce its medicinal value and its appearance will be seriously affected.

In some serious cases, it may even be necessary to break off several leaves before they can be preserved.

It needs to be mentioned here that tangerine peel usually has three, four or six leaves. As for how many leaves come out, it depends on the number of pieces peeled off when making tangerine peel.

The number of leaves will not affect the efficacy of tangerine peel, but it will affect its appearance. In order to prevent the leaves of tangerine peel from falling off, it is usually made into the shape of three leaves.

In this way, the joints of the leaves will be thicker, and the tangerine peel will not break due to excessive dryness.

Once the leaves of tangerine peel break, the price will plummet.

Because normally, leaves will not break. Breakage usually occurs because of improper storage, resulting in mold or insect infestation.

So those moldy, spoiled, and insect-eaten leaves were artificially pulled out, which led to his missing arms and legs. This can also explain why the appearance affects the medicinal value.

The price of 800 per kilogram seems high, but it is not. After all, the longer the tangerine peel is stored, the lighter it will be. Ten years ago, there might be one kilogram, but 10 years later, there may be only seven or eight taels left. In addition, there are storage costs and losses.

The costs, as well as labor finishing costs are also there.

It’s not that there aren’t tangerine peels that are older and more effective in the market.

But Li Xiao does not have the relevant skills to tell whether those tangerine peels that are said to be 20 or 30 years old are genuine. Although the Cantonese Cuisine Skill Mastery contains some information on the use of tangerine peel, it is only incidental knowledge after all, not detailed. He just

I can only tell which tangerine peel is better to use.
