It is indeed a palace banquet that incorporates modern elements. After all, only men would participate in palace banquets in the past.
Therefore, the programs performed are all naturally in line with the aesthetics of the male audience, usually featuring young ladies dancing, singing, or playing music.
But now it is very different from before. It is not only men who come here to attend the palace banquet, but also a huge number of girls.
In fact, according to Li Xiao's visual inspection, there were more women than men present.
After all, this place focuses on the immersive palace cuisine experience. In addition to eating, many ladies come here to experience the feeling of eating in Hanfu.
But to be honest, it feels really great to wear traditional clothes, watch traditional dances and listen to traditional songs. At least Li Xiao has never had such an experience.
If nothing else, just based on this experience, Li Xiao is very willing to do it again, and of course she is very willing to recommend it to the viewers in the live broadcast room.
While Li Xiao was sighing with emotion, these strong men waved their torches on the stage, just like the ancestors in ancient times, using torches to drive away feared beasts.
Just listen to the host on the stage introduce:
"Torch dance is a traditional dance of the Han Dynasty. The Yi, Bai, Naxi, Jinuo, Lahu and other ethnic groups all have this traditional dance."
"Usually these ethnic groups only perform such dances on grand festivals, but the arrival of all distinguished guests today is the most important festival in the hearts of all our staff."
"So we invited eight strong young men from the Bai ethnic group to perform a wonderful torch dance for everyone."
"In addition, guests in the first row need to be specially reminded that since there will be a fire-breathing show during the show, they must not get close to the T stage."
After hearing the prompt, several young ladies who had already moved to the edge of the catwalk, ready to take pictures with the muscular man, were immediately startled.
They quickly retreated to their seats. They didn't want their beautiful decorations to be completely burned by the fire.
As the dance began, the surrounding lights slowly dimmed, leaving only the dance of 8 Bai teenagers on the catwalk.
Both hands kept waving, burning torches.
The feet continuously stepped heavily on the catwalk to make a rhythmic beat, and the torch sticks struck together from time to time to make a clear percussion sound.
The primitive and wild beauty hits the face and makes Li Xiao, a grown man, excited to see it.
It seems that in the next second he will pick up the spear at hand and rush out to fight with the ferocious prey on the grassland.
The young ladies watched with rapt attention, exclaiming repeatedly, as if they would rush out in the next second.
It's just that he didn't rush out to fight the ferocious prey on the grassland, but he fought with the warriors on the stage who were dancing with torches.
The torch dance soon reached its climax. The eight people who were dancing fiercely suddenly stepped heavily on their feet, making a neat roar on the T stage, and then the music in the venue was silenced.
From movement to stillness, it only takes a short moment.
The dancing stopped, but the torches were still burning brightly.
Just listen to the host next to the stage to remind you again
"Everyone, please keep your distance!"
As he finished speaking, eight fire dragons suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The dazzling flames instantly illuminated the hall, and everyone's attention was attracted by these eight fire dragons.
However, the fire dragon left just as quickly as it came, disappearing into the air because the alcohol was consumed by the flames.
Then the eight young men turned around and faced the other side of the hall. Eight new fire dragons appeared in Li Xiao's sight again.
It's just that this time the eight fire dragons are not on his side, so the impact of his sight is much smaller than before.
With the appearance of two fire dragons, the original background music quickly turned into rhythmic drum beats.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
Following the rhythm of the drums, the fire dragon appears and disappears, appears and disappears.
This primitive and rough dance not only aroused everyone's emotions, but also the air in the hall rose due to the heat of the flames.
Every audience in the live broadcast room was dazzled.
"I haven't seen the torch dance for a long time. I still remember that when I was a child, I could see it in the village during major festivals. Unfortunately, now all the young people in the village have gone out to work, and every festival is deserted.
It’s not fun. I decided that when I take my annual vacation, I will go there to have a meal, and if nothing else, I just want to watch the torch dance.”
"Is the young lady upstairs from the Miao ethnic group? I heard that you Miao girls can be poisoned. Is it true?"
"How old are the people upstairs and they are still poisoning me? I don't believe there is someone who can remotely poison me..."
"Wait a minute, what's the ellipsis behind the one upstairs? Has it already been tricked?"
"You're so funny. You guys are better at acting than the anchor. The reason why I go to the anchor's live broadcast room every day is just to watch you being funny."
"Dooling, these handsome guys' muscles are really well developed."
"Oh no, they're all fake muscles built by taking protein powder. They're of no use at all. They just look good."
"Please, is it enough to look good?"
"What you said upstairs really makes sense."
The drumbeat of the torch dance became more and more intense, and Li Xiao couldn't help but tap his fingers on the black walnut tabletop.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
However, after the climax, it is soon a pleasant rest time.
The host’s voice also sounded at the right time:
"Now please serve the third dish to our distinguished guest, baked cod with yellow mustard."
The young lady who served the food was much more agile this time. They danced, dragged the tray, and rotated to the front of Li Xiao.
What appeared in front of him was a gray plate with a square piece of silver cod placed on it.
The cod is topped with a layer of cheese and yellow mustard, and some red chili crumbs are sprinkled on the surface.
He gently stirred the cod with chopsticks. Sure enough, this piece looked like a large piece of cod, but in fact it had been cut into 4 pieces by the chef.
It's just that it's covered with thick cheese and yellow mustard sauce, and the cut marks on the cod are hidden.
He picked up a piece of cod wrapped in thick cheese and yellow mustard sauce and held it up to the camera.
"You can tell it is a real piece of cod at a glance. Many restaurants claim to sell cod, but they use cod that is 10 times cheaper."
"After all, a pound of silver cod sells for as much as 500 yuan, while a pound of cod usually only costs 40-50 yuan."
"Although these two fish sound different by one word, they are indeed two completely different fish. One can be directly cultivated artificially, while the other can only be found in the cold Arctic and Antarctic states."
"In order to avoid the audience, the gentlemen were framed by unscrupulous profiteers."
"Now I will teach you a very simple way to distinguish it, that is, use chopsticks to pick up the cod fish pieces and gently press them with the chopsticks."
“If it has a lot of oil pressed out, it’s a cod fillet, if not it’s a cod fillet.”
"This is because the oil content of cod is much lower than that of cod."
In the live broadcast room.
"It turns out that all I have been eating is cod, so I asked myself why cod is sold so cheap here."
"The price difference between the two kinds of fish is 10 times. No one can bear the temptation."
"My family supplies these restaurants. I can guarantee that 90% of the cod on the market is made of cod. After all, the price of cod is too high. If you remove the corners, a pound of cod costs almost
At 600 yuan, a portion of silver cod costs two to three hundred yuan, and no restaurant can afford it, except those very high-end restaurants."
"Restaurant: Got it, we're going to absorb the oil right away and suck out the oil from the cod so it looks more like silver cod."
"Brother upstairs, are you going to laugh me to death and then inherit my flower monument?"
"Good guy, is this a cheating trick you'll be introduced to every day?"
...
Seeing that comment, Li Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded. He quickly explained:
"There's no way to wash off the oil from this cod, because its oil saturation is too high."
"There is no way to squeeze out the fat before frying."
"After frying, if you squeeze out the oil with force, it will cause the entire cod to deform. Therefore, it is impossible to fake it using this method, and it can be seen at a glance."
"Okay, now that I've told you how to tell the difference between real and fake, I'm going to show you how delicious this cod fish is."
The silver cod, which was only the size of two thumbs, was stuffed into the mouth. The strong yellow mustard and cheese immediately gave a huge impact to the taste buds on the tongue.
Chinese yellow mustard sauce is made by grinding mustard seeds into powder and then adding vegetable oil, sugar, MSG, refined salt, etc.
Although yellow mustard sauce has the word mustard in its name, it tastes completely different from mustard.
Yellow mustard sauce, spicy but not pungent.
Yellow mustard is much softer than green mustard. Even if you put a large circle of yellow mustard on a hot dog, ordinary people can eat it.
If it were replaced with green mustard sauce, the same amount would probably burn people to death.
The originally soft yellow mustard sauce is combined with the rich milky Chechen cheese. This posture has a high fat content, and after three fermentations, the flavor is particularly rich.
The two blend together to complement each other, and the Chechen affair further masks the spicy taste of yellow mustard while providing it with a rich taste.
The strong and impactful smell instantly fully opens the taste buds of the tongue. After opening the tongue, what the tongue feels is the delicious and rich pan-fried cod.
Fresh, very fresh.
Silver cod is indeed one of the most delicious fish in the ocean.
Even after a long period of freezing in the refrigerator, a lot of its umami flavor has been lost.
However, its delicacy is comparable to the freshly caught seafood on fishing boats, and the sweetness in the mouth is like a hurricane from the ground, blowing away Li Xiao's mental construction.
He closed his eyes and mouth tightly, fearing that the fibers from his mouth would flow out through his seven orifices.
Chewing and swallowing slowly with teeth and tongue, it took half a minute for a small piece of silver cod to disappear completely.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.
"It's so amazing. If nothing else, the combination of yellow mustard sauce and Chechen cheese is so strong that I have nothing to say."
"Together, the two cover up each other's shortcomings while infinitely magnifying their respective advantages."
"Although cod has an extremely strong umami flavor, the other flavors are very bland, so using the strong yellow mustard cheese sauce as its seasoning is perfect."
"The two are simply a match made in heaven, and neither one is perfect without the other."
"The content of inosinic acid contained in cod is extremely high, and it has a strong umami flavor. It is completely worthy of the price of 500 per pound. It is so delicious."
"90 points, surprisingly amazing!!! Even more amazing than the boiled cabbage at the beginning!!"
Thanks for the rewards and monthly votes, thank you.
