The shopkeeper skillfully took out two pieces of songhua cake from the wooden tray, placed them in a plastic bag, and handed them to Li Xiao.
The system prompt also sounded at this time.

There is also a sign with text hanging below the store, which reads, "Tengchong specialties, grilled bait cubes, roux, roll powder, pine pollen."
I have eaten a lot of grilled bait cubes before, and rolled noodles are also very common.
Probably because of the wrong season or some other reason, Li Xiao did not see the "rouge fruit" written on the brand.
I only wanted Songhua cake.
Next to it, there are jars of light yellow pine pollen put into jars.
Pine pollen is a good thing.
The pine pollen we call now is generally the pine flowers of Masson pine. It is fragrant and sweet, and contains oil and rich trace elements. It also contains more than 10 minerals needed by the human body.
Among them, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, manganese, zinc, and iron are the most abundant; it contains selenium, enzymes and other physiologically active substances that inhibit tumor cells, as well as hormones, enzymes and alkaloids that mediate physiological functions.
Therefore, eating pine flowers is very good for the body.
Moreover, this pine flower has been recorded in Materia Medica before. It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that the yellow powder on its flowers is called Songhuang. Mountain people picked it up in time and made it very good for soup. But it cannot be kept for a long time, so it is used fresh and sent far away.
This shows that people have been eating pine flowers for a long time.
In many places in Yunnan, in spring, many people go up to the mountains to "shake" pine pollen.
"Shake" is a verb, because when the pine flowers mature, place a container for the pine flowers below, and then shake the branches vigorously, and the pollen of the pine flowers will fall down.
Collect these pollen and it becomes pine pollen for making songhua cake.
Of course, more people will directly take off the immature pine flowers and take them home to dry. After a period of time, these pine flowers will mature, and naturally they can collect a lot of pine pollen.
Li Xiao suddenly remembered that it seemed that he hadn't given a lottery draw to fans for a long time.
So he bought some pine flowers.
These pine flowers are put in jars, but if Li Xiao wants a lot, the uncle won't be able to get them out for the time being.
So Li Xiao only drew 50 fans.
"Everyone, look, this is a pine flower."
Li Xiao picked up a can of pine pollen from the stall and introduced it to fans.
"This is the pine flower of Masson pine. It is rich in trace elements. It is very good for the body. You can check it online."
"I suddenly remembered that I haven't held a lottery for a long time, so I'll give this away today."
The list of fans who won the lottery will come out soon.
There were 50 people, respectively. Li Xiao finished buying the pine pollen and made an agreement with the uncle to pick it up after a while.
After all, he still had to find a courier point first.
These pine pollen seem to come in large jars.
If there is a courier point nearby, you can send it directly, but if there is not one nearby, it will be difficult to transport it.
The uncle sold a lot of pine pollen and was very happy.
Pine pollen is difficult to collect, so it is a bit expensive.
Even if it is made into Songhua cake and sold, the pastry that costs 3 to 5 pieces is only a small piece, not as big as a palm.
So apart from tourists, few people buy it.
Li Xiao said goodbye to his uncle and started wandering around the ancient town.
Eating while walking, holding the Songhua Cake I just bought.
Songhua cake is a small piece and can be eaten in one or two bites.
But if you eat it directly, it may be a bit dry.
Li Xiao took a bite of the songhua cake in his hand.
"This songhua cake smells a little like pine trees. If you have ever smelled the smell of pine trees, you will know what it feels like."
"It smells very refreshing. Let's try what this songhua cake tastes like."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he took a bite.
"It just smells like pine flowers, a little like nuts."
"It's filled with red bean filling. It tastes sweet, but it's not overly sweet."
"It's sweet and very oily, probably because pine trees are rich in oil."
"And this pine flower cake doesn't stick to your teeth at all. The pine pollen is particularly delicate, but it doesn't taste too chewy."
"This songhua cake is thin and soft, not the glutinous texture."
"People who may not be used to it will think that this pine flower has the smell of Chinese medicinal materials."
"As mentioned earlier, Songhua is recorded in Materia Medica."
"Furthermore, pine flowers have the functions of dispelling wind, replenishing qi, absorbing moisture, and stopping bleeding, so people who are not used to it will feel a little pine flower smell."
"Overall, as a snack, this songhua cake is refreshing and not too sweet, and it has a slight bitter taste. Personally, I like it very much."
"If you have the conditions, you can come and have a taste, or you can buy some pine pollen online to make pine flower cakes."
"When making pine flower cakes, it is recommended that you steam them. This refers to the pine pollen you picked yourself. Of course, if you are going to pick pine flowers or want to collect pine pollen yourself, you must prepare a strategy because not all pine flowers can be used.
edible."
"Pine pollen that is more common in Yunnan is collected from Masson pine, which is also a relatively common pine tree."
"The method of making Songhua Cake has been posted on many social platforms, so I won't go into it here."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he savored the songhua cake in his mouth.
This tastes pretty good.
Do you want to buy two more pieces later? Or get yourself a can of pine pollen.
Li Xiao thought this way.
On the barrage.
"I've never seen anything like pine flowers before."
"I've never seen it before. I always thought that pine trees wouldn't bloom."
"Me too, but then I thought that since there are pine cones on the pine trees, it is normal for the pine trees to bloom."
"I'm so lucky, you guys, the host just drew a lottery and I actually got it."
"Is it possible that you are the legendary European Emperor?"
"No, I think this means that he is a top and needs to be whipped."
"Have you watched too many Spring Festival Gala skits? You can get into trouble with this?"
"As soon as my pine pollen arrives, I will make you a pine pollen cake."
After checking in, I went to Shunhe Ancient Town for Songhua Cake, and then strolled around the ancient town. It was already afternoon.
Soon it was time for dinner.
The next thing Li Xiao will take everyone to check out is the earthen pot with Tengchong’s local characteristics.
Earthen pot is a very important type of Tengchong flavor and is unique to Tengchong. In addition to local people’s homes, you can also eat very authentic pots in Tengchong hotel restaurants.
Li Xiao found a random restaurant in the ancient town with a big sign hanging outside.
“Tengchong Earthen Pot”.
This sign was given a big close-up.
It's him.
Li Xiao checked the guide.
Then I learned that when eating Tengchong earthen pot, you need to pay attention to the order of putting the vegetables.
Generally, vegetables that can withstand cooking are placed at the bottom and vegetables that are easy to cook are placed at the top.
And usually there are meat dishes on the bottom and vegetarian dishes on the top.
But these are not issues that Li Xiao needs to worry about.
After all, when you go to a restaurant to eat, these are the business of the store owner.
After walking into the store and obtaining the store's permission, Li Xiao started the live broadcast.
"Hello, gentlemen in the audience, good afternoon everyone."
"Your favorite anchor is here again."
"We have already checked in before, big rescue, songhua cake, and roasted pork rice noodles."
"Then do you guys want to guess what we're going to check in next?"
"Look at the surrounding environment. Perhaps some attentive viewers have already guessed it."
"That's right, the next thing we want to check out is Tengchong's local specialty earthenware pot, known as the volcanic hot sea."
"I have just ordered something to eat with the store."
"We can just sit here and drink tea and wait."
During the negotiation with the store just now, Li Xiao had already ordered the food.
However, it is not recommended to eat earthen pots alone.
After all, one earthen pot dish will take several people to finish.
But there are exceptions like Li Xiao who eat a lot.
I sat down and took a sip of tea.
The tea in this shop is tartary buckwheat tea, which has the fragrance of tartary buckwheat. It tastes a bit bitter, but it also has the aroma of grains, and you can taste a hint of sweetness in the end.
"Wow, the anchor appears again."
"Why doesn't the anchor have any dumplings with him?"
"Today is also a day to miss Tuanzi."
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, do you still think so?"
"Don't you want dumplings? The dumplings are so cute and the dumplings are so fluffy."
"I love Tuanzi. Of course, I also love the anchor. The anchor is my favorite anchor."
"New fans are all crazy about expressing their love here, but we old fans are different. Old fans are either preparing ingredients or preparing to order takeout."
"It would be too miserable if you don't have anything to eat while watching the anchor's live broadcast."
"That's what the brother in front said, so I've already ordered takeout."
"Wouldn't it be even worse if I happened to be hungry while watching the anchor's live broadcast? For example, I am still rushing to get off work."
"Oh my god, are you actually watching the live broadcast while waiting for the bus? Then when you get on the bus, are you also watching the host's food live broadcast? Are you sure you won't drool all over the subway?"
"I don't know how to do this. Moreover, when I took the subway to watch the live broadcast, I met several people who were watching the same live broadcast as me."
"Yes, I met him when I was driving last time. Then we happily became friends and even acted out the cooking methods taught by the anchor."
"I was walking on the road after get off work while watching the live broadcast of the anchor, and then I met a brother who was a cook. He said that the things taught by the anchor were very practical, so now he is my boyfriend."
"The anchor has unknowingly pulled another wave of red threads."
"This reminds me of the little brother who stepped on the wild flowers on the roadside when I was catching insects."
"Ah, yes, I remembered it too."
"My partner and I also met through watching the host's live broadcast. We were on a blind date that day, but I didn't want to go. After we went there, I was playing on my phone and watching the live broadcast, and I found that the other person was the same as me."
"So he and I started chatting. We will get the certificate in two months. Everyone is welcome to come over for a wedding banquet."
"Anchor, go and work part-time as a Yue Lao, hahaha."
"The same goes for my girlfriend and I. We were originally chasing stars. He liked to watch handsome guys and I liked to watch beautiful women. But one day I suddenly came across this treasured live broadcast room."
"So he and I had no differences, and the two of us watched the anchor's live broadcast together."
"Is it so magical? Am I the only one watching this all the time?"
"You are not alone in front of me."
"He called you in front of you and told you that you are not a human being."
The live broadcast room is still as active as ever.
So Li Xiao started to introduce Tengchong’s earthen pots.
"I just checked the relevant information and found that the Tengchong people eating earthen pots seems to be related to ancestor worship."
"People in Tengchong eat earthen pots mostly during the Qingming Festival, October, and during the Chinese New Year."
"After they cooked the earthen pot, they would first offer it to their ancestors so that they could eat it first."
"It means worshiping the ancestors, and then I invite my relatives and friends to sit around in a circle and start eating earthen pots."
"Some people will make the earthen pot and take it to the cemetery, then set out the bowls and chopsticks, and invite the ancestors to serve the earthen pot dishes together."
"Some people also put the earthen pots on the table at home after making them, and dedicated them to their ancestors."
"After you offer it, you can eat it."
"The pot used in this earthen pot is usually made of clay."
"Many people in the local area can make earthen pots."
"It is said that Tengchong's earthen pot dishes are more troublesome to make, because these dishes need to be laid out layer by layer."
"Usually, vegetables that can withstand cooking are placed at the bottom, and vegetables that are easy to cook are placed on top, or meat and vegetables are placed on top."
"Then put a charcoal fire in the middle of the earthen pot and cook slowly."
Just when I said these words.
Li Xiao's dishes are ready.
Usually, this kind of shop will prepare dishes and pots in advance. If someone orders food, they directly put the broth in the pot and put on the charcoal fire.
It’s time to serve.
A pot that looked a bit like a hot pot was brought up.
But this pot is different from hot pot.
The pot is high in the middle and low on the outside.
There is a tall circle in the middle with a lit charcoal fire inside, and the outside is round and covered with a layer of ingredients.
After the charcoal fire in the middle is ignited, the pottery has a strong heat preservation effect, which will increase the temperature in the pot. When the stock boils, the food in the pot will be cooked.
The food cooked slowly in clay pots like this is extremely delicious, and there are usually dishes of different colors on top, which are also pleasing to the eye.
