659.Aunt Songhua Cake(1/2)

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.

[Ding dong! Check-in is successful, the food store you checked in is: [Aunt Songhua Cake]]

[Pine flowers are fragrant, sweet, rich in oil and trace elements,]

[The pine flowers used to make Songhua Cake are harvested fresh every year, they are clean, fresh and nutritious]

"Ding dong! System rating. [Aunt Songhua Cake]'s star rating is two stars."

"Ding dong! You have won a check-in reward from a two-star gourmet restaurant."

[Reward: Fortune Point 1]

[Introduction to fortune points: Fortune points represent the host’s luck. The higher the fortune points, the better the luck. ]

【Money: 10000】

【Famous: 20】

[Introduction to fame: 1 point of fame will allow 10 strangers to recognize you through different channels]

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.
