Since there are many holes on the liver, it is more convenient for the liver to absorb the juice and flavor.
When Li Xiao picked up a piece of braised liver, there was actually a drop of red juice dripping from the braised liver.
Sure enough, after entering the mouth, there is a tough taste.
The method of making braised liver is not difficult, but it is definitely not simple.
To make braised liver, you need fresh pig liver, preferably a pig that has just been killed. Take out the pig liver and remove the gall on the liver.
While the pig liver is still steaming, put a piece of pipe into the organ of the pig liver, and then blow against the pig liver to swell the pig liver.
This is not an easy thing and requires a lot of strength and lung capacity.
Some people may say that if you make it this way, you will eat the saliva of the person who made the liver blowing. That would be too disgusting.
The method of making braised liver has a long history, and the braised liver must be sterilized with alcohol, so there is no need to worry about this.
Moreover, in modern times, some people who sell liver blowing have changed the traditional blowing method from mouth to blowing with a pump for the sake of hygiene. The purpose is to blow air into every gap of the pig liver.
Only when a pig liver is blown up and air enters every gap will the porous and tough taste of the pig liver be formed.
The preparation of condiments is also very particular. The chili peppers are grown in my own garden. They are red and smell spicy and crispy after drying.
The chives are produced locally and are purely natural and pollution-free. The pepper noodles are sourced from Baoshan, Heqing and other areas. The aged vinegar produced in traditional vinegar factories adds a different flavor to the liver.
.
Even the liquor used to make the liver blowing is the famous liquor produced in Heqing, not far away, which was named "Heqing Dry Wine" by Emperor Qianlong when he went to the south of the Yangtze River.
Chili noodles, finely chopped chives, Sichuan peppercorns, and a bottle of just-opened Heqing dry wine are stuffed into the ventilation holes of the pork liver. When the stuffing is almost done, apply it on the outside of the pig liver.
A layer of refined salt, and finally the bulging pork liver was tied with a thin hemp rope and hung under the eaves of his home.
After a winter of wind and rain, remove it from the eaves in spring, boil it in water for a few minutes, then slice it into slices and serve it cold.
A plate of braised liver with a strong Dali flavor is completed.
At the banquet, Li Xiao also drank a delicious seaweed soup.
The seaweed used in seaweed and taro soup is also called "watery poplar". Folk songs in Dali sing about this seaweed, which is a metaphor for a wandering and helpless life.
"Dali Haizi has five grasses, it doesn't float, it doesn't fall, it doesn't take root." This song is about this kind of seaweed.
Sea vegetables have extremely strict requirements for water quality and require good water to grow sea vegetables, so sea vegetables are often regarded as "water quality indicators."
In August and September every year, sea vegetables on the Erhai Lake sometimes bloom, and at that time you can see the beautiful scene of large white flowers blooming on the sea.
But Li Xiao will not stay here forever, he will travel around.
Although it was a bit regretful that we could not see the wonder of blooming sea vegetables, but after eating so many delicacies and witnessing the folk customs of Dali, this trip was not in vain.
It was getting late, Li Xiao hugged the dumplings and headed to Erhai Lake again.
The weather is fine today, and he must be able to see the legendary "Erhai Moon" scene.
"Hello, audience friends, today I will show you the Erhai Moon, one of the four most beautiful scenes in Dali."
After arriving at the beach, Li Xiao started the video and told the story about Erhai Moon.
In the lens, a white moon is shining brightly in the sky, but the moon reflected in the Erhai Lake is golden. Even the golden moon is swaying with the water in the Erhai Lake.
"It was rumored a long time ago."
Very good, standard fairy tale beginning.
The wind at night was a bit cold, but fortunately Li Xiao was in good health and was holding a furry animal in his arms, so he didn't feel too cold.
"There was a fairy daughter in the sky who fell in love with a fisherman who fished in the Erhai Lake. She envied the happiness in the world and came down to earth to get married to the fisherman. After the marriage, in order to help the fishermen live a life of ample food and clothing, the fairy would
My precious mirror sank to the bottom of Erhai Lake."
"In this way, when fishermen go out to sea, they can clearly see the fish in the water and catch more fish."
Several barrages passed by.
"What did the fish do wrong?"
"Damn it, fish lovers condemn it!"
"Damn it, the mermaid is dissatisfied!"
"Let me guess, was it like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, or the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong, who were torn apart by the heaven?"
Li Xiao glanced at the barrage, rubbed Tuanzi's furry head, and said, "Congratulations on getting the answer right."
"Heaven does not allow people to fall in love with fairies, so it didn't take long for the people in heaven to capture the fairy."
"Before she left, the fairy sank her precious mirror into the bottom of the sea forever, protecting the people here from generation to generation."
"So from then on, a brilliant golden moon appeared under the Erhai Lake."
"The Bai people of Dali who live by the Erhai Lake have a custom of rowing their boats into the Erhai Lake on the night of August 15th to watch the golden moon under the sea."
"Although today is not August 15th, I think since we are already at the Erhai Lake, I should still let you see this."
Li Xiao's camera looked at the golden reflection on the bottom of the sea and said, "Look, is the moon golden?"
"Wow, it seems to be really golden!"
"The moon is reflected in the water, so beautiful."
"No wonder it is called one of the four most beautiful sights in Dali."
"A little bit of trivia to popularize. Did you know that the headgear of the Bai people in Dali actually contains these four scenes?"
"There is a bunch of white tassels on the hats of the Bai people, which will flutter when the wind blows, symbolizing wind."
"There are many flowers embroidered in the middle, which of course represent flowers."
"The shape of the hat is like a crescent moon, which represents the moon."
"As for the white tassel on the top of the hat, it represents the snow that never melts all year round on Cangshan Mountain."
"The Kopudi in front of you is really awesome, please give me a thumbs up!"
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Li Xiao's RV is not far away, and in the car is the plum wine he just bought in the store.
Speaking of carved plum wine, it is also a major feature of Dali.
Carved on the green plum, it finally takes on a flower-like shape and is soaked in wine.
The wine also has the aroma of green plums.
Li Xiao raised his cup as if toasting to the moon.
Raising glasses to the bright moon, facing each other into three people.
"Yunnan carved plums are a traditional snack of the Bai people. They require the use of fruit wine brewed using local ancient techniques. The carved plums are made from salted plums. After being soaked in clear lime water, the plums are first soaked in salt water to remove the sour taste.
, then dry it, pickle it with honey and cane sugar, and process it with white wine for several months to become a fine fruit wine."
"Diao plum wine is a kind of Dali plum wine. It is produced in Weishan, the ancient capital of Nanzhao, Dali. It is a low-alcohol sweet wine brewed from the local specialty "diao plum". Drinking it is refreshing, quenching thirst, appetizing and refreshing.
"
Li Xiao took a sip of wine and rubbed the dumplings in his arms against his chest, as if he wanted to taste what the drink with the flavor of green plums tasted like.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Li Xiao woke up to a burst of folk songs.
"Dali is so beautiful in March. It's easy to dress up by the Butterfly Spring. Butterflies fly here to collect nectar. Where does my sister put her hair and makeup on..."
It turned out that a very old movie "Five Golden Flowers" was being played at Uncle Yang's house.
This movie tells the story of a young Bai man and woman who fell in love at first sight by the Butterfly Spring, but did not lose their sense, met again the next year, and finally got married. It is full of strong ethnic colors.
Li Xiao watched the movie with everyone with great interest, and suddenly received a private message from a fan.
In the private message, he said that he was also from Dali, his city was not far from Dali, and he hoped that Li Xiao could visit them as a guest.
Fans also recommended two gourmet restaurants to Li Xiao, one is "Nanzhao Yiyi Noodles" and the other is "Big Beard Snacks".
According to this fan, these two stores are very famous with local characteristics, and one of them, "Nanzhao Noodles", even has a certain world record.
Anyway, the distance was not far. Li Xiao said goodbye to Uncle Yang's house and drove to this small county town.
When I first came here, the aunt who bought bait cubes also mentioned to Li Xiao that there was a place nearby called "Weishan Ancient City."
Moreover, I heard that this "Weishan Ancient City" was also the ancient capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.
So how can you not go and take a good look?
After all, I am here to travel.
After bidding farewell to Uncle Yang's family, Li Xiaobian drove to Weishan Ancient City.
Along the way, the rapeseed flowers on the roadside were in bloom in large tracts. At first glance, they looked bright yellow and the sky was blue and clear, with only a few white clouds hanging in the sky.
Because of the strong ultraviolet rays here, many people have dark skin.
Li Xiao's appearance is that of a young man with thin skin and tender flesh. People can tell at a glance that he comes from out of town.
Li Xiao got out of the car, and the little fan who sent a private message asking Li Xiao to come and visit the store was waiting at the destination early.
"Wow, you're finally here!"
The fan is a petite and cute little loli. As soon as he saw Li Xiao's RV, he rushed over and Li Xiao also started the live broadcast.
Li Xiao hugged the dumpling and gave the little girl a shot.
A large group of people instantly poured into the live broadcast room and saw a little loli rushing towards Li Xiao from a short distance away.
"What the hell is going on?"
"What did the anchor do?"
"Why did I see a super invincible and cute little loli running over here?"
"No, no, we got it right, right?"
"Anchor, tell me, what did you do? Did you do something you shouldn't have done?"
"What is the identity of this little loli?"
Li Xiao saw this fan rushing towards him and walking so fast, so he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Um...what do you want to do? I'm a serious anchor?"
What I never expected was that when the little loli came in front of Li Xiao, she suddenly stopped.
What's happening here?
"Wow! I like you so much, anchor!"
The little Loli's eyes were looking straight at the panda in Li Xiao's arms, and the thoughts in her eyes were almost written on her face.
Of course, there is no need to write it on her face. After all, not long after, the little loli opened her hands towards Li Xiao and said: "Anchor, I have liked you for a long time! I am your old fan! Before you
I followed you when you were visiting the store to buy soy milk!"
so early?
At that time, Li Xiao only had a few fans, but this little loli was actually an old fan?
On the barrage.
"Soy milk? Can anyone explain what she is talking about?"
"What kind of soy milk? Did the anchor buy soy milk when he visited the store?"
"There are so many places across the country that sell soy milk, which one is she talking about?"
"New fans are making wild guesses, while old fans have esoteric expressions on their faces."
"such as me."
"This little girl is indeed an old fan. At that time, our anchor had just started doing food live broadcasts."
"When you said that, I remembered it."
"By the way, when did you start falling in love with the anchor?"
"Is everyone here just for the delicious food? Am I the only one here to see the handsome men?"
"Oh, our anchor can obviously rely on his face to make a living, but he has to rely on his talent!"
"No, it's about exploring the food stores!"
"I clock in every day, my husband is so handsome."
…
"That's really early."
When she said this, Li Xiao remembered the time when she first obtained the system...
I never imagined that I already have so many fans...
Moreover, I also own a panda, which has many abilities, and my life is not as tight as it was back then...
In the past, I never imagined that my future would be like this.
The little Loli continued: "Um...anchor, since I am your old fan, can you let me touch your panda?"
Good guy, it turns out you are waiting for me here!
Of course, Li Xiao wasn't angry either. He knelt down and said, "If you want to touch it, you can touch it."
It's still early, and it's not yet time for Tuanzi to go to bed in the afternoon, so at this moment, Tuanzi is opening his two big round black eyes, with his furry ears standing up, as if he is listening to what these two people are saying.
.
"Very good!"
After hearing what Li Xiao said, the little girl jumped up excitedly.
I never expected that I would have the opportunity to touch a panda!
This is a national treasure! It was something that only appeared in zoos in the past!
And it’s so furry and so cute.
The little girl stretched out her hand and carefully touched the red panda's head.
Tuanzi's dark circles moved slightly, obviously not used to being touched by outsiders.
The little girl was not greedy, she just touched the dumpling's head a few times, and after feeling the furry touch, she withdrew her hand.
"It's nine o'clock now, it's still early. Host, have you had breakfast before going out?"
