"I just went to check out the tamarind you mentioned. It does look like a huge pod, and its shape is even weirder when opened."
"It feels like this fruit doesn't even have much water."
"Why is it called Tamarind? This fruit must be very sour, right?"
"In fact, its taste is sweet and sour, like hawthorn."
"Then if you put it this way, this tamarind cake and hawthorn cake are actually pretty much the same."
"Actually, the taste is still different."
Li Xiao watched the discussion among netizens on the barrage and went up to buy a small bag of tamarind cake.
When you open the wrapping paper, you will feel a sour and sweet taste in your mouth.
"No wonder it's called tamarind, it's indeed a bit sour."
“This tamarind cake also has white sugar added in it.”
"This sour taste should have the same appetizing effect as hawthorn."
Li Xiao said inarticulately while chewing the tamarind cake in his mouth.
“There is no additive flavor in this tamarind cake.”
"Let's take a look at this ingredient list."
"Tamarind, high maltose syrup, white sugar, agar."
“The ingredient list is pretty clean.”
"I didn't even see any preservatives."
Li Xiao sighed.
There were also surprised expressions on the barrage.
"Isn't it? How is it possible that there are still snacks without preservatives in them?"
“I also think it’s impossible that this ingredient list is fake, right?”
"This is definitely a fake. How could it not have any additives at all?"
“Not only are there no additives, there are no pigments either. It’s too fake.”
"Ah, this, maybe it's true. I think if it was true, he wouldn't sell it here."
"Now that you've said it, I really want to try this tamarind cake."
"Actually, it's sweet and sour, similar to hawthorn cake."
"No other additives and preservatives are added, maybe because it is too sour?"
"People who have eaten tamarind passed by. This tamarind is indeed the color of tamarind."
“Snacks with such a clean ingredient list are quite rare these days.”
"Maybe it's because this is a local snack, so there are very few additives."
"I want to eat too, I'll eat too."
"My partner has been suffering from severe morning sickness these past few days, so it should be okay to take this."
"Our kids don't like to eat much lately, so I think we can buy some."
"When you put it like that, I think...if I don't go to their store to buy it, they will probably be out of stock again."
As we all know, Li Xiao’s ability to carry goods has reached an outrageous level.
Sure enough, after the netizen finished what he said, he went to see that the same type of snacks had been sold out.
Netizen: "..."
Can I be a human being?
Li Xiao didn't do much publicity, but he thought the pickle cake was sour and sweet, so it seemed good to have one after dinner in the summer.
So he continued to wander.
Next, Li Xiao saw another stall selling cakes.
So he walked over again.
The prepared papa has two flavors: salty and sweet.
The salty one contains ham and chopped green onions, while the sweet one contains red bean paste and rose flowers.
Different from the Yunnan flower cakes that can be seen everywhere, this kind of cake looks rounder and larger.
And it was crushed flat.
It should look crispy and crumbly on the surface.
There are four words written on the signboard outside, "Lijiang Baba".
Relevant information immediately entered Li Xiao's mind.
Lijiang Baba is a unique delicacy of the Naxi people.
Lijiang Baba and Heqing Dry Wine have always been called "Lijiang Baba and Heqing Wine", which was recorded in "Xu Xiake's Travels" in the Ming Dynasty.
Its characteristics are color, aroma and taste.
The main raw materials are fine wheat flour produced in Lijiang, plus snow water flowing from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and mixed into dough.
Then apply vegetable oil on the marble slab and roll it into thin slices.
Li Xiao approached with interest.
Although I just had a full meal, there is no reason not to eat when the delicious food is available.
It doesn't matter, his stomach can still hold it.
"Handsome guy, would you like a daddy?"
"Our dada is delicious."
“Lijiang’s dada is very famous.”
The boss lady saw Li Xiao coming and saw how handsome Li Xiao was, so she immediately introduced her enthusiastically.
"Bring me one salty and one sweet."
"Okay, young man, just wait a moment."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he quietly watched the landlady pretending to be herself.
Li Xiao was very lucky. When he arrived, the landlady had just finished cooking a pot of cake.
At this time, the daddy who had just left the country was still steaming.
"Everyone, look at this daddy and this puff pastry."
Li Xiao pointed the camera at the Lijiang Baba in his hand and said.
The freshly baked cakes were still a bit hot to the touch, and under the street lamp, the cakes in the paper bags shone with oil.
The puff pastry looks like it has distinct layers, and when you smell it, you can smell the aroma of wheat mixed with other ingredients.
The sweet cake smells like roses and walnuts and sesame.
The first smell of the Xian Baba is the meaty aroma of ham and the fragrance of spring onions.
Li Xiao first took a bite of the salty cake.
"Well, the skin is just as I expected, crispy and crumbly."
"The ham inside the cake is very fragrant and slightly salty."
"The presence of the shallots is not low, but it has been fried until soft."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he took another bite of sweet cake.
"Wow, the outside of this one is also crispy and crumbly, and the inside is soft and waxy, full of oily aroma."
"When you take a bite, the fragrance of roses bursts into your mouth."
“The walnut kernels are also crunchy and the sesame seeds are fragrant.”
"As far as personal taste is concerned, I prefer this sweet one."
“Sweet Lijiang cake has a richer taste and has many layers of texture.”
"Everyone, look at the boss lady starting to make cakes again."
"Boss, can I take a photo for you?"
Li Xiao asked politely.
After obtaining the consent, Li Xiao began to film the process of the boss lady making papa.
The proprietress first took out a piece of mixed noodles from the bucket, and then brushed a layer of oil on the marble slab.
After brushing with oil, place the cake on the marble board and press it into thin slices.
Next, brush a layer of melted oil on the already pressed cake, then roll up the cake, flatten it again, and brush with oil.
After repeating several times, brush a layer of rose sauce on the cake, and sprinkle with some chopped walnuts and white sugar.
It turns out that the boss wants to make sweet cakes.
Then wrap the stuffing inside, press the cake into a thin pancake, and then fry it on the pan.
A crispy Lijiang cake with distinct layers and delicious taste is ready.
The boss lady put the finished cake in a paper bag.
And then handed it to the customers who came to buy.
After eating the delicious cakes, Li Xiao decided to go back to the B&B.
After a night's rest, Li Xiao decided to go to Heqing to have a look.
Last night I ate Lijiang Baba and also heard the phrase "Lijiang Baba and Heqing Wine". Since Heqing's wine is so famous and has already come to Yunnan, it would be a pity not to take a look.
When driving to Heqing, the first place Li Xiao went to was Yunhe Tower.
Walking through the busy streets and arriving at Yunhe Tower, you can see the sunlight shining on the layered eaves, giving off a reassuring soft light.
There are naturally many shops selling various souvenirs and delicacies on the streets of the ancient city.
Of course, Heqing is most famous for liver blowing.
However, I have tasted this in Dali before, so I won’t introduce it again.
Heqing has three famous treasures: dry wine, ham, and pig anhydride. This is common sense known to children.
Dry wine refers to Heqing dry wine, ham is also Heqing ham, and pig anhydrous vinegar is the same as braised liver. It is a unique local delicacy, which is marinated ribs in a jar.
The origin of dry wine is that the Ming Dynasty implemented "military settlements", "private settlements" and "shang settlements" in Heqing to integrate the military with the people. During the period of immigration and border guarding, people moved from the Central Plains to Heqing and settled here.
Immigrants represented by the Hua family introduced the advanced brewing technology from the Central Plains and the method of making koji using Chinese herbal medicine into Heqing's ancient "shaju" brewing. The brewed wine was mellow and sweet, which was called "Qinjiu".
Originally, Li Xiao planned to find out how this dry wine was brewed.
As a result, when he arrived, he found that most of the steps involved in making wine were nothing special.
Probably because different regions have different soil and water, different drinks are produced.
So Li Xiao was very confused next.
What should I do?
Take what you've got, take care of it. In fact, Heqing's eight bowls are very famous.
The tradition of eating eight big bowls here has been around for a long time.
But Li Xiao had already eaten these eight bowls before.
Then just take a stroll.
Eat whatever you see.
After starting the live broadcast, Li Xiao said hello to the fans in the live broadcast room.
"Hello, audience gentlemen, yes, it's me again, I'm starting the live broadcast again."
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Did you miss me?"
Li Xiao, who was carrying a selfie stick and was broadcasting live, stood under the sun. The sunlight fell from the top of his head, illuminating his hair and making him look sunny and handsome.
On the barrage.
"Ah ah, long time no see, husband! (??????w????)??????"
"Ah, ah, hubby, hubby? (*′3)(e｀*)Boo~? Hubby is so handsome!"
"Call for the anchor?(*′?｀*) person(*′?｀*)?"
The first ones to appear are still these female fans.
She is Li Xiao’s girlfriend.
The next step is naturally the old fans who are paying attention to when Li Xiao will start broadcasting every day.
"I'm still saying the same thing. I failed to lose weight again today. Let's see what delicious food the host will eat today."
"I'm already ordering takeout. I suggest the host put a preview before the next live broadcast, so that these takeout merchants can think about what to prepare next time."
"I hope there won't be any weird food today."
"Same upstairs, I hope today's delicacies won't be bugs or the like."
"If you wish, I hope you don't say it. As soon as you say it, I feel that this matter is hanging in the balance."
"Dear, have you ever heard of Murphy's Law?"
"The less you want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen."
"I'm even more scared when you say that. Are you going to eat bugs again today?"
"How many episodes has the anchor broadcast in Yunnan? I've already eaten this bug three times."
"Grasshoppers, bee pupae and bamboo insects, right?"
Hey guys, I really don’t know what I’m going to broadcast today.
Isn’t this material already here?
Li Xiao smiled extremely kindly in front of the camera, and then said the words to the fans in front of the camera that they least wanted to see.
"Eating bugs is a good idea. There are so many bug delicacies here in Yunnan, and they are all here. Of course you have to try them."
"Let me see if there are any fans near me. If there happen to be any, we can meet by chance."
“There are too few guides in Heqing, and I just don’t know what to eat.”
"I think we can go eat something weird or local."
Immediately, some fans posted comments.
"I, I, I, the anchor, I happen to be on this street."
"I passed by here just now, but I didn't see you, the anchor."
"Oh my God, if I had known earlier I shouldn't have lowered my head and played with my phone while walking, but I missed it."
"Stand there and don't move, wait until I come back to find you."
I never expected that there would actually be fans on this street.
And I actually missed them all.
What does this mean? This means that the skill Li Xiao's system gave him is really useful.
Even if a fan passed by him, he didn't notice him.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he used his live broadcast camera to scan the environment around him, and then stood here waiting for his fans to come over.
Not long after, a little brother who looked sunny but a little dark ran over panting and huffing.
The first time he saw this guy, Li Xiao intuitively felt that he must be his fan.
However, when this fan came next to him, he actually looked around and kept looking at his phone.
Finally I found Li Xiao in the corner.
Dang Ji rushed over and planned to give him a bear hug.
Li Xiao silently took a few steps back and stopped him.
"Don't hug me, we are both grown men, and there are so many spectators watching."
"It's not good to be misunderstood. Besides, I have a girlfriend."
"Friends in the audience, please bear witness for me. This guy and I didn't know each other before, and I definitely don't have that tendency."
Li Xiao joked to the fans in front of the camera.
Then I saw a barrage floating past silently.
"Do you remember that you have a girlfriend?"
What follows is a series of barrages with the font changed to pink.
"Yes, the anchor absolutely does not have that tendency."
"As we all know, say important things three times."
"As we all know, there is a saying that you don't blame yourself."
"It's well known that our broadcasts are very unseemly."
"Ah, no, that's the wrong number. It's very serious."
"Fifty cents, remember to delete all the brackets."
Li Xiao was speechless.
So he raised the topic to the male fan who just ran over.
"What food should we eat next?"
"Or do you think there is something worth trying that most netizens have never seen before?"
