Of course, at this moment, Li Xiao has no idea how big an impact his actions will have.
He sat back on the stool and picked up the sterilized chopsticks.
Li Xiao casually picked up a piece of sausage in the bowl and looked at it carefully.
After all, it's a knockoff, so it's definitely a good idea to pay more attention to it.
The intestines were cleaned very clean, and there were no debris on them that shouldn't be visible.
The condition of the sausage was surprisingly good. It looked like it was made with fresh sausage. You must know that there is a huge price difference between fresh sausage and frozen sausage.
If the price of fresh sausage is 30 yuan per pound, then the frozen sausage is only about 10 yuan at most. If you encounter some with a thicker ice coating, you may be able to get it for 78 yuan.
But the quality of these frozen large intestines is a matter of opinion. Just forget about the quality.
Many times you don't even know where the large intestine was taken out from.
The color is quite good and the taste is not a big problem. After all, a two-star chef is in charge of such a small restaurant.
If there are still problems, it only means that the chef's level is really bad to a certain extent.
After putting the stewed sausage into his mouth and chewing it carefully, Li Xiao found that the taste could not be said to be bad, but it could not be said to be good. It was just average.
In a place like the capital, a bowl costs 30 yuan. The ingredients are sufficient and the portion is large. It is indeed not very expensive.
Normally, Li Xiao thinks that the rating for such a bowl of braised pork should actually be at least two stars.
After all, the taste is really not bad, at least as good as many so-called internet celebrity restaurants.
As Li Xiao ate, he felt a little sorry for him.
If you have such a level, you can honestly make your own signature.
It doesn't take three to five years to make a name for yourself, so why bother using someone else's name to promote someone else?
If the advertising laws become stricter by then, there will be no place for counterfeiters like them to survive. Then all the years of hard work will be wasted, so why bother?
After eating a piece of each, you nodded with satisfaction, the taste was indeed not bad.
I can't say it's delicious, but one braised portion can already serve 70 servings.
However, Li Xiao did not continue to eat, although this would be a waste of food.
However, his live broadcast room has more than 300,000 viewers, and he must set an example to the public.
Counterfeiting cannot be supported and it cannot encourage this unhealthy trend.
Others have spent hundreds of years running a brand, and you rely on sneaky means to gain access to their traffic, and then secretly count the money on the side.
He absolutely does not approve of such behavior.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Li Xiao hesitated whether to tell the truth or a lie.
He didn't think about it for long before he figured it out. Sometimes lies are not necessarily bad. After all, white lies are still necessary.
He coughed lightly, with an expression of impatience and frown on his face.
"It's really unpalatable. It costs 30 yuan a bowl for the poster to actually make it like this. It's really outrageous. If it hadn't been for the popularity and fame of Huiji Braised Small Intestines, it would have gone out of business long ago."
While shaking his head, he reminded the audience watching the live broadcast:
"Don't come, don't come, it's not worth it at all."
"It just has a salty, spicy taste, which is bitter and astringent, and the taste is strong. It was added in a mess."
"I don't recommend everyone to try here. We'd better go to the authentic one and see what's going on. Let's go, let's set off now."
As he spoke, he didn't care about the bowl of braised pork, which he only took two bites of, and walked out the door.
I entered No. 13 Xiangyang West Road on another mobile phone, and the location of the real Huiji Braised Small Intestine popped up.
This time the driver didn't lie. The real store and the fake store were indeed separated by a street.
However, the truth is also generously mixed with lies. The two roads are separated by a street, but the walking distance shown on the navigation is only 1 minute and 24 seconds.
The corner of your mouth is twitching. Good guy, this gives you a true and false false, false and false true, true and false, sometimes false and true, false and true, sometimes true and false?
Why drive a taxi if you have such acting skills? Wouldn't it be better for you to just make your debut?
Use the time you have to open a taxi to act, and after 30 years of acting, you will have become a Cannes Best Actor.
Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh to himself, this driver's road is too narrow.
It's a pity that he was originally an all-powerful actor, but because he took the wrong path, he is now reduced to a driver who relies on deceit and deception to make a living.
The one-minute journey didn't cost Li Xiao much time.
Li Xiao's mouth twitched when he saw the authentic Huiji braised small intestine from a distance.
Good guy, I thought that the number of people queuing up at the counterfeit store just now was quite large, but I didn’t expect that the number of people queuing up for this genuine one was even larger.
This authentic Huiji Braised Small Intestine is also located next to the entrance of the alley, but the queue at the door extends along the alley to the outside, extending for more than ten meters.
Without counting, you can tell that there are at least hundreds of people queuing up here.
You know, it's after 2pm on a working day, so how come so many people come here to eat braised pork out of boredom?
I stepped on my feet and looked towards the end of the queue. The genuine storefront and the pirated storefront were exactly the same.
No, it should be said that the decoration of the pirated door header is exactly the same as the genuine door header.
Even the decorations on the signboards were almost the same, at least Li Xiao didn't see anything wrong with them.
It's really a complete clone of an identical store, which is really shameless.
Since the queue time this time was obviously very long, Li Xiao was bored and checked the information on the authentic and fake Huiji Braised Small Intestines.
It doesn't matter if I don't check it out, I was really shocked when I checked it out.
Good guy, there are as many as 4 fake braised small intestines within 1 kilometer of here.
They are
【Hui(Yanji) Braised Small Intestine】
[(Guangjun) Ji braised small intestine]
【Laohuiji Braised Small Intestines】
[Hui Kee Traditional Braised Small Intestine]
The first two are directly splitting one of the characters in the signboard into two characters.
This kind of copycat is the most similar, because the words are directly separated and can’t even be seen on the signboard.
The latter two can barely pass the fake ones as the real ones, after all, they added the words "old" and "traditional" to their store names.
Some unfamiliar customers can easily subconsciously think that these stores are genuine products.
Li Xiao also marked these fake and shoddy shops one by one and pinned them to the top.
As for why he is so angry, it may not be that he cares about whether the braised food is delicious or not, but that these people are using someone else's brand name.
In fact, it was more likely that he gave the 100 yuan to the middle-aged Mediterranean driver out of guilt in his heart.
If the other outputs are all level A, then that 100 yuan is definitely a critical hit.
If these fake stores knew why they were being targeted, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.
After finishing this, there were actually more than a dozen people in the front team.
Li Xiao also talked about braised pork with the audience.
"Braised pork belly is a traditional snack in the capital. Originally, braised pork belly was not pork offal, but it was not called braised pork belly at that time."
"Su Zao Rou was the predecessor of braised pork. However, pork belly was too expensive, so people began to use pork head meat and pig offal instead. Over time, braised pork was born."
"In the past, this food was eaten by people living at the bottom of the capital and working hard."
"There wasn't much oil and water at that time. It was too difficult to eat a meal of meat. But it was impossible to do physical work without eating oil and water. If you don't eat oil and water when you have exerted your physical strength, you would be weak."
"So, our smart working people came up with a way to use aniseed, heavy oil, cooking wine, and heavy salt to suppress the smell of pig waste."
"But it's still expensive to just eat the pig's waste, so what should I do? It's not enough if it's less, so I can only add some other things to the bowl."
"For example, if you mix fried tofu and fire-roasted noodles and cook them like this, the fried tofu and fire-roasted noodles will become larger in size after absorbing the soup. You will eat more and it will be hotter."
"Also, the braised and roasted dishes in the past were different from the ones today. The braised braised dishes now are served in a small bowl, while the ones in the past were served in large wide noodle bowls."
"A bowl is full, and the ingredients inside are piled high. Even if there is less water for the pigs, gluten, fried tofu, and fire are definitely indispensable. A strong laborer can fill his stomach with just one bowl."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, a cheering voice came from the side. The voice was a bit old and had a unique accent of the capital. He looked towards where the voice came from.
The speaker was a bald old man wearing a gray traditional coat.
He looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, his eyebrows were completely white, his skin was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were very bright.
There was also a birdcage slipping on his hand, and inside it stood a little black pug.
Hearing the old man's praise, Li Xiao also smiled and nodded to the other man.
The old man saw Li Xiao turning around and said with a smile:
"Okay, the young man speaks quite well, but your accent doesn't sound like someone from the capital?"
Although he is live broadcasting, he still knows how to respect the elderly and love the young.
The other party greeted him with a smile, and he couldn't pretend not to see it. He responded politely:
"I'm from Cantonese, not from the capital. I'm a food anchor."
As he spoke, he pointed to the camera in his hand. He was really afraid that the old man didn't understand what a food anchor was, so he quickly added:
"I just go to different places to eat and drink, and then take pictures to show others."
Hearing Li Xiao introduce himself to his family, the old man was very satisfied. It is rare to see such a polite young man. He looked Li Xiao up and down and nodded:
"Guangdong is very nice. The old man also went there when he was young."
"There is a lot of food there, but the taste is too bland and not to my liking. By the way, do you still eat Fujianese over there?"
???
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, the old man burst into laughter.
He laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh with his free hand while laughing.
He laughed for a while before standing up straight and waving his hands:
"The old man is joking with you, just joking, don't mind."
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth twitched. This old man is really getting stronger with age. It should be getting stronger with age, but that doesn't seem right either.
It should be that he is cunning and cunning, which seems a bit too much. Well, he becomes a master with age. Yes, he becomes a master with old age, which is barely close.
Good guy, you can even joke with yourself.
Seeing the other party smiling so happily, Li Xiao put away the smile on his face and said seriously:
"I haven't eaten it recently. The Fujian people are almost eating it up for us. Moreover, Fujian people like to eat garlic now. The garlic smell is too strong."
"So now we don't eat much food from Fujian. Instead, we eat food from Sichuan. We specialize in Sichuan beauties, who are both spicy and beautiful."
Seeing how this old man liked to joke so much, Li Xiao also started chatting with him. Unexpectedly, the two of them actually got along well.
As they chatted, the two became more and more interested in each other, so Li Xiao let the people behind him go first, while he slowly moved to the old man's side and continued chatting with him.
While chatting, the two of them soon entered the store, and there happened to be an empty table for two in the store. An old man and a young man, two strangers, sat together like this.
The braised pork here is also RMB 30 per bowl, and even the size of the bowl is the same.
During the conversation in the queue just now, Li Xiao also learned the old man's name, Yang Sanxi. He was a true capital man and he was 75 years old this year.
Yang Sanxi initially wanted to pay for Li Xiao as a local, but how could Li Xiao allow an old man he had just met to treat him?
Seeing that Li Xiao refused to agree, Yang Sanxi gave up. The old man was not willing to let Li Xiao treat him.
The two were in a stalemate, and in the end they had to pay their own money.
The braised food was cooked quickly for the two of them, and the person serving it was also an elderly uncle.
Originally, the uncle's face was expressionless, but after seeing clearly the appearance of the old man next to him, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
After putting down the stewed fire, he did not leave immediately, but smiled and said:
"Boss Yang, you haven't been here for a long time"?
Yang Sanxi still looked cheerful, with a smile on his face:
"I can't help it. There are too many things going on at home, and those children are disobedient and make noises in my ears all day long."
When the waiter heard that it was a family matter, his already wrinkled face even wrinkled up:
"Who says otherwise? It is said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, but they are all of our own blood, so how can we part with our relatives?"
"But, Lao Yang, you are already old, so don't worry too much about these things. You are not young anymore. If you overwork, it will be fatal."
Lao Yang laughed and patted the old man on the shoulder:
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'm too lazy to care about their affairs. Sometimes I just can't bear to see them and say a few words. You should hurry up and get busy. I've already called you."
The waiter was about to leave when he heard Yang Sanxi say
"Ah, by the way, by the way, didn't I save a bottle of good wine? Hurry up and take it out for me. My little brother and I will have two glasses."
The uncle waiter just heard that something was wrong with the child at Yang Sanxi's house, and he didn't show much surprise.
After all, he also knows the environment at Yang Sanxi's home. If one day he hears that his family no longer quarrels, he will be very surprised.
But I heard that Yang Sanxi wanted to drink with this strange boy next to him, and it was time to drink good wine.
He was shocked, and then he turned his attention to Li Xiao.
But he didn't have any impression that he had seen the other person before.
But after all, he was just a waiter. Although he had known Yang Sanxi for a long time, he was not a gossip and had no intention of getting to the bottom of things.
After being surprised, he took it back, nodded slightly with his eyes, and promised:
"Okay, no problem, I'll get it for you right away."
Seeing that the old man really wanted to drink, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. After all, it seemed a bit too much to ask someone to treat him to a drink after meeting him by chance.
But the old man immediately straightened his face and pretended to be angry:
"You're such a shameless kid. Just now I wanted to make a host and treat you to a fire, but you didn't want to. Now I want to treat you to a drink and you said you won't. Are you looking down on the old man?"
Although Li Xiao also saw that the old man was joking, since the other party said so, he could only reluctantly accept it.
The old man worked very quickly. Despite his age, his movements were faster than those of ordinary young people. Li Xiao served the other party's wine before he even started to use chopsticks to eat.
Besides, in his opinion, the wine stored in such a small restaurant should only be ordinary rice wine.
Even if the two old men were talking about good wine, it was probably just slightly better rice wine.
However, the moment I saw the wine bottle.
Li Xiao was startled. This wine bottle seemed familiar?
Although he didn't drink often, this bottle was so deeply impressed on him that he couldn't forget it.
This bottle looks exactly like the bottle of so-called Moutai puree wine I drank at my uncle’s house last time.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and secretly swallowed.
Yang Sanxi saw Li Xiao's tangled expression and immediately laughed:
"Why did you just say you don't want to drink, and now you're greedy when you see the bottle?"
"Not bad. At such a young age, you can still tell what kind of wine the old man is holding?"
"Why don't you try and tell me, if you can really name the wine, the old man has a lot of this wine in his house. If you can tell me, I will give you two bottles."
Hearing that the old man wanted to give such a precious wine, Li Xiao's eyes lit up and he felt happy. This was a good thing that even money could not buy.
If this wine is the same as the one from Sanjiu's house, it is Maotai puree wine that is over 20 years old and close to 30 years old.
He had seen 30-year-old Moutai on the Internet before, which was worth more than 100,000 bottles, and he couldn't guarantee that it was authentic.
But then he quickly suppressed the greed that suddenly appeared in his heart. Although the old man was generous, he could not climb up the pole.
He quickly smiled and said:
"That's not possible. I know the value of this wine is not low. I can guess what kind of wine it is. But if you want to give it to me, I don't dare to ask for it. If you want to give it to me, then I don't dare to tell you."
Yang Sanxi was very satisfied with the young man in front of him, he was warm and polite and unmoved by the benefits.
However, his face did not show too many emotions, and he nodded slightly:
"Okay, if you don't want it and I'm not willing to give it to you, just tell me, what kind of wine is this?"
