Putting away the photo, Li Xiao looked at the time, um, he seemed a little hungry.
Xishuangbanna is located in the tropics, so even in early spring, the temperature in the afternoon is more than 20 degrees, and it is still snowing in other places, but it is very warm here.
The weather was nice, with the dazzling sun hanging in the blue sky.
After leaving the Manting Imperial Garden and taking a taxi, you will soon see a large golden pagoda.
Another place Li Xiao is going to go to today is Gaozhuang.
The streets are relatively deserted during the day, with only a few scattered tourists in front of the shops on the street.
Waiting until April, the days leading up to the Water Splashing Festival, may be the peak tourist season in Xishuangbanna.
Li Xiao walked slowly on the street. The sun illuminated his face a little red, but it did not affect his appearance at all. On the contrary, this touch of red gave him a different flavor.
"Wow, wow, suddenly I feel that the anchor is so handsome!"
"As for the front, our anchors have always been handsome, okay?"
"?(*′?｀*)(*′?｀*)?Call the host!"
"Come on, please stop praising my husband for being handsome. You have no idea how long it will take for him to explain to me because of your compliments!"
A string of barrages floated by, and it was obviously Li Xiao's face fan.
At this time, Li Xiao happened to stop in front of a small stall. He looked up at his live broadcast and saw this series of barrages.
So he smiled slightly and said to the stall owner: "I want a portion of pounded chicken feet."
"Ah ah ah, please help me, the anchor smiles so beautifully!!"
"My mother asked me why I took so many screenshots, and now she asked me to give her a copy of the screenshot I just took!"
"How can I keep all the good stuff from the front? I want it too!"
"Am I the only one who cares about the taste of pounded chicken feet?"
The owner of the stall is a young Dai girl, wearing traditional Dai clothing, with fair skin, black hair tied back, and a frangipani flower on her head, which makes her look very cute and cute.
The sun was just right. Even when Li Xiao was standing in the sun, her skin was perfect, as if there were no flaws, and her pores seemed to be invisible, putting even a girl who owned the stall to shame.
She has never seen such a handsome man!
The sun was just right, and a breeze blew by, lifting Li Xiao's hair.
The stall owner blushed, accepted Li Xiao's share of the money for pounding the chicken feet, and quickly lowered her head to do her work.
"It seems that there is another young and ignorant girl who is attracted to our anchor..."
"Well, being too charming is also a kind of trouble."
Li Xiao sighed jokingly.
"Anchor! Please let me worry for you! Give me this young lady's contact information!"
"Get out of here! Anchor, don't listen to his nonsense, it's better for me!"
The more netizens talk, the more biased they become.
Li Xiao found a table and chair beside the stall and sat down.
Just at this time, Li Xiao's chicken feet were ready.
Off-white chicken feet, fiery red peppers, orange radish, yellow lemon, and green coriander make up this plate of pounded chicken feet.
Several colors appeared on a plate, and as soon as they entered Li Xiao's live broadcast, they attracted the attention of netizens.
"Suddenly I realized that although the stall owner is beautiful, she is not as attractive to me as this plate of chicken feet!"
“A local from Xishuangbanna passed by! The pounded chicken feet here are super delicious!”
"It looks delicious (′?w??`) I want to eat it too (???)"
As soon as it is served, you can smell the sour aroma of lemon, the fragrance of lemongrass and coriander, the aroma of garlic, and the spiciness of chili pepper.
The combination of these fragrances is surprisingly harmonious. The sour and spicy taste makes the mouth secrete saliva involuntarily just by smelling it in the nose.
Even if you haven't eaten it yet, you can still imagine its spicy and sour taste.
"Wow, it smells sour and spicy."
Li Xiao picked up a chicken foot with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The chicken feet are also stained with red chili peppers.
"The chicken feet are springy, it tastes sour and spicy," Li Xiao picked up another chopstick of carrots, "The carrots are sour and spicy with a little bit of sweetness, and the texture is crispy."
Netizens in the live broadcast room were all greedy.
“Sure enough, if you want to experience the most authentic traditional snacks in a place, you have to visit this kind of roadside stall.”
"Beat, pound something in a stone mortar or mortar."
"Because the Dai people believe that eating sour food refreshes the mind and brightens the eyes, and helps digestion. Eating more sour food can relieve heat and relieve inflammation."
"Eating sweet foods can increase calories and relieve fatigue; eating spicy foods can increase appetite and prevent colds; and eating raw foods can ensure nutrition."
"Therefore, in places like Xishuangbanna, where the Dai people gather, the most important taste is sweet, sour and spicy."
Li Xiao ate another chicken foot and started to talk about how to pound chicken feet.
"To make pounded chicken feet, you don't need to prepare many materials, but you must prepare enough spices."
"Wash the chicken feet, cut off the nails, then boil them, remove them and soak them in ice water. This will make the chicken feet more elastic and delicious."
"Peel the ginger and garlic, add lemongrass and mash it in a stone mortar, then take the chicken feet out of the ice water to drain them, put them in a stone mortar, add millet and grind them together."
"Take out the pounded chicken feet and put them in a basin, add lemon slices and lemon juice, plus fish sauce, salt, sugar, fried peanuts, and carrot sticks."
"Lastly put it on the plate, and a delicious pounded chicken feet is ready."
Li Xiao was talking as he ate, and by the time he finished teaching how to do it, he had also finished one portion of the chicken feet.
In fact, there are only four or five chicken feet per portion.
"The anchor is so awesome. He actually figured out how to do it just by standing there and watching?"
“I’ve been to Xishuangbanna before, and I really like eating these chicken feet! I can eat four or five servings a day!”
"Things ahead are warning."
"Great, I finally know how to make it, I'm going to try it now!"
"Humph, your reaction is too slow. I was already doing it when the anchor started talking. I can watch the live broadcast while eating in a while!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You are such a thief!"
"Actually, I am too. After learning that the anchor was in Xishuangbanna, I knew that the anchor would definitely eat this!"
"I'm so greedy, I'm going to order takeout! I'm fat, anchor, you have to be responsible."
"How can you be responsible and pledge yourself to me?"
"You're thinking shit in front of me."
"I've gained weight too. It's all the anchor's fault. You, the anchor, have to take responsibility."
There was a cry on the barrage.
Even the stall owner's eyes lit up after listening to what Li Xiao said.
This person is so awesome, you can actually figure out how to do it just by looking at it.
Li Xiao looked at the wailing in the barrage and expressed that he was very innocent.
How can you blame him for gaining weight?
Saying goodbye to the food stall that pounded chicken feet, Li Xiao continued shopping on the street.
"I heard that there are quite a few Internet celebrity stores on this street, but the one we are going to today...is this one."
Li Xiao stopped and pointed to a shop on the street.
"Wantai."
"In a place like Xishuangbanna, which is full of Southeast Asian style, apart from taking photos, girls should be worried about what milk tea to drink while shopping, right?"
"Then come and try this one. I heard their iced coffee is pretty good."
Probably because Li Xiao was lucky, there weren't many people lining up today.
Li Xiao ordered a perfumed coconut smoothie and Laos iced coffee, both of which are signatures of the store.
Iced coffee is packed in a bag covered with ice cubes. The bag is bulging. Just insert it with a straw and you can drink the ice-cold coffee inside.
Packing drinks in bags is a specialty here. If you want to drink while walking, there will be a square paper bag with the store's logo printed on the outside.
The ice cubes float on the coffee. If you shake the bag gently, the ice cubes inside will collide with each other and make a pleasant sound.
“Does anyone like hearing the sound of ice cubes clinking together?”
Li Xiao shook the bag again, and the ice cubes collided together again.
"Me, me, I really like to hear the sound of ice cubes clinking together!"
"I like listening to it too! But the weather is too cold these days, and I don't want to drink ice."
"It's still snowing here."
“Children passing by in freezing temperatures(????)”
Li Xiao looked at the barrage and said, "Xishuangbanna is hot all year round, so drinks like this are very popular here."
With a "pop" sound, Li Xiao punctured the bag with a straw.
The pretty mouth came up and took a big sip of the iced coffee.
Although the weather was in the twenties, it was not particularly hot, but after walking on the street for a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Li Xiao's face.
Taking a sip of iced coffee, a cool feeling spread from the mouth and flowed down the throat into the stomach.
This cool feeling immediately soothed away the heat in Li Xiao's body.
Li Xiao just felt comfortable all over.
"This coffee is fragrant and mellow. Although it is a little bitter, the aroma of the coffee beans itself is even better. If you taste it carefully, there is still a little sweetness. If you like coffee, you must try it."
"I don't like drinking coffee, it feels too bitter."
The barrage floated past.
"I quite like drinking coffee, I love drinking coffee so much!"
"I feel like in the summer, the sun is so poisonous. It must be very comfortable to drink a sip of ice-cold coffee like this!"
"It's snowing here. I don't know how long it will be before summer comes."
"Although it's still very cold now, looking at the host's expression... I suddenly want to take a sip of this coffee!"
"I don't want it, I'm afraid this coffee is too bitter..."
"It doesn't matter if you're afraid of hardship. You can order something else."
Everyone was discussing their own issues on the barrage, while Li Xiao focused his camera on the perfumed coconut smoothie on the table.
The container holding the coconut smoothie is a small basket made of unknown materials. There are ice cubes at the bottom and a full amount of coconut smoothie on top.
"Wow, look at this milky white coconut smoothie. When you smell it, you can smell the strong coconut and milky aroma."
Li Xiao used a spoon to scoop up the smoothie, and he could feel the smooth texture through the spoon.
The characteristic colorful leaves and frangipani are also inserted on the edge, and the smoothie is sprinkled with coconut flakes, coconut granules, and toast slices.
"!!! I love coconut! I love coconut milk!! I really want to try it!"
"My mom asked me why I was drooling all over the floor!"
"Please explain the production process to the anchor! My partner has already gone out to buy me materials!"
Li Xiao dipped the slices of bread into the smoothie and coconut chips and put them in his mouth.
"Crack, click, click."
The toasted bread slices are fragrant and crispy, and the aroma of milk and coconut bursts in your mouth, and the coconut crisps enrich the texture of the smoothie.
"Bake the bread crispy, freeze the coconut milk in the green coconut into ice cubes, scoop out the coconut meat, add condensed milk and ice cubes and smash it into a smoothie, then put it in a serving container and sprinkle coconut crisps on top.
Just make sure the bread is good."
"Isn't it very simple?"
As Li Xiao explained, he put spoonfuls of smoothie into his mouth. The fatigue and heat of the morning were swept away with the sweet smoothie.
"The handicapped party thinks he can give it a try."
"You're laughing so hard, I always do this...Mom!"
"The one who calls mom, don't leave. Me too!"
"It's so simple! I think I can do it again!"
After Li Xiao finished eating the smoothie, he reached out and took another sip of coffee.
The result was...his face was wrinkled up in pain.
Of course, this scene was turned into a meme by fans the next day.
And it was forwarded to major short video platforms and fan groups.
Because his expression was so magical, many people who didn't know Li Xiao came to watch Li Xiao's video.
It can be considered a small hit again.
"Facts have proved." Li Xiao slapped his lips and said, "I just finished eating something sweet and it's better not to drink coffee..."
Although the coffee is very fragrant, the impact is indeed a bit unbearable for him...
Li Xiao went out and continued walking: "Okay, let's see what other delicious food there is next."
"Great!"
"Great!"
"Anchor, let's go eat fried potatoes and fried tofu!"
"Fried potatoes and fried tofu?" Li Xiao made a thoughtful expression and said, "These are two delicacies that are available in many places. I wonder what the difference is between fried potatoes and fried tofu in Xishuangbanna."
Fried potatoes and fried tofu are not hard to find, but where are they better made?
Li Xiao continued to walk forward.
"Danai snacks? This is it."
Li Xiao went in: "I want a fried potato and a fried tofu."
The store is run by an enthusiastic proprietress. Li Xiao just walked into the store. The proprietress said: "Okay, honey, would you like a piece of rolled rice noodles? This is the last one today."
baby?
"Damn it, she took advantage of me."
"I know this store. The lady boss calls everyone "baby", hahaha, I'm laughing so hard..."
"Anchor is being misled. Have you not been called baby by a few people since you have grown up?"
Everyone on the barrage burst into laughter, and Li Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded, so he said: "Then I want a portion."
"We rarely have roll noodles at our house. If you come late, they will be sold out. You are so lucky today."
