615.Xishuangbanna(1/2)
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!"
