Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 639

In the stockade, the wild mushrooms freshly picked from the mountains are not so particular. If there are more mushrooms of the same species, they will be taken out and cooked separately. If there are few mushrooms, they will often be fried into a pot.

Chicken fir has made chicken fir oil and steamed chicken fir, and porcini mushrooms and Jianshouqing can also be fried on a plate.

There are chanterelles and some other bacteria in the chicken soup, and they are all cooked after a while.

"How's the food going?"

It was Fan Xiaowang's uncle who asked this question. He was holding a big sack in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it.

"It's coming soon, wait for the chicken soup to cook for a while, and then you can eat a few dishes."

"Well, if you two have nothing to do, come and help me."

help?What can I do for you?

The uncle was holding a big sack in his hand, and blinked at Li Xiao with a mysterious expression: "Are you from the city? You must have never seen this thing before."

There are not many things in this world that Li Xiao doesn't know.

The uncle put the big bag in his hand on the ground, opened it and shook out the contents.

Li Xiao looked at that thing and couldn't help but "puchi" smile.

He thought it was something strange.

Inside the sack was a large honeycomb.

Inside the honeycomb, there are white worms wriggling one by one.

It turned out to be bee pupae.

Although bee chrysalis is not a common thing, people will get it and eat it in many places.

Of course, there are also many people who are persuaded to leave in the face of these wriggling bugs.

Although this thing is high in protein, not everyone can accept it.

"Haha, I haven't seen this thing before."

The uncle was still complacent, but unexpectedly Li Xiao said: "Isn't this just a bee pupa, I've eaten it before."

The uncle who was laughing with his hips on his hips was obviously taken aback.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Fortunately, Xiao Wang came out in time to smooth things over, "Oh, uncle, you don't know, Li Xiao is a well-known anchor, and he goes to various places to eat delicious food. Of course, it's not surprising that he has seen this thing."

"Besides, we Yunnan people are not the only ones who eat insects."

"This kind of thing can be eaten elsewhere."

The uncle looked a little dispirited, waved his hands, and said, "Ahem...well...let's get these bee chrysalis out quickly."

Since Li Xiao went live on the mountain to pick mushrooms before, and then went home and was busy making chicken fir oil and other fungus, so his live broadcast has never been closed. At this moment, fans on the barrage watched that A big beehive, don't mention how shocking it is inside.

"('') Oh my god! What a big beehive!"

"∑(0дlll) Oh my god, I'm shocked!"

"People in the city said that they have never seen such a large beehive in their life."

"Can this make you see it? If it makes you see it, then you have to call the police."

"Shouldn't the one in front call the firefighter uncle? The police uncle seems to only catch bad guys."

"Large honeycombs like this should indeed be dealt with by uncle firefighters."

"('') God, look, there is something moving inside the honeycomb!"

"Oh my god, this... so many... trying to phobias have been committed!"

"The picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it."

"((|||))How can there be so many bee pupae..."

"Look, it's still moving!!"

"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore, I'm leaving first, you can enjoy it slowly, I really can't stand so many bee chrysalis wriggling in front of my eyes."

"I'm terrified of this kind of soft, boneless, wriggling bug!! Ahhh, I'm going to have another nightmare at night."

"I'm drooling, so many bee chrysalis, can you make a big plate?"

"Ah, there are so many bee pupae, it's too scary, do you still have to eat bugs at night?"

"Gosh, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to unsubscribe."

"If you cancel the pass, you will cancel it. Why do you still have to say it? Do you owe it?"

"I really don't understand what you are afraid of. These are all high in protein and very nutritious."

"It's just that if you eat too much, you may easily get angry..."

In the live broadcast, the uncle has already moved the huge bee pupa away.

Most of the larger bees were smoked to death, and most of the sacks were filled with small bee pupae.

Some of these bee pupae have stopped moving, while some are still wriggling in the hive, I don't know what they are doing.

The white bugs in front of him are really a challenge for Li Xiao...

After all, normal people probably don't like to see a large group of white worms moving around together...

But I still have to help.

Even though it looked a little uncomfortable, Li Xiao still helped to get these bee pupae out of the hive one by one and put them on a large plate.

Although it looks a bit disgusting now, this thing is quite fragrant after being fried.

In Yunnan, there is a tradition of eating insects.

Grasshoppers jumping around in rice fields, bee pupae twisting and turning in beehives, bamboo worms burrowing around in bamboo... these are relatively common things.

And it's easier to accept.

There are more things that are more difficult to accept.

For example, centipedes, spiders... and other bugs...

Just looking at it makes people feel scared.

I really don't know what the first person who ate these bugs thought.

But having said that, these bugs are indeed rich in nutrients...

After the bee pupae are taken out from the hive, it is time to heat the oil.

These bee chrysalis are then fried in a frying pan.

Wait until it is golden brown, then take it out of the pan.

Sprinkle with a handful of edible salt, it is a good appetizer.

After frying the bee chrysalis, the people are almost here.

As a food blogger, Li Xiao naturally took on the important task of being the master chef.

After all, among this group of people, no one can compare to Li Xiao when it comes to cooking food.

The practice of wild mushrooms is very simple.

Cut the mushrooms into slices and heat the oil in a pan.

Put the chili pepper and ginger into the oil pan and sauté until fragrant.

Add wild mushrooms, and most importantly, garlic.

Of course, you can also put some green peppers and red peppers for decoration.

When the wild mushrooms are fully cooked, they can be out of the pot.

Just put a little salt in the pot before leaving the pot, and the rest of the seasoning can be left out.

Li Xiao has the ability to distinguish whether food is poisonous, and he is also handy in controlling the temperature of food.

Therefore, when the pot of mushrooms was just cooked, Li Xiao knew it.

Take out the pan and put it on the plate, and the movement is smooth and smooth in one go.

The fan Xiaowang yelled a few times at Li Xiao's handsome actions, and successfully exchanged for a big mouth from his uncle.

"What are you looking at, hurry up and help serve the food."

"Look at how good they are, they cook so well."

"Look at you again, how old you are, you don't do business all day long, you know how to eat and sleep, and you still watch live broadcasts on your mobile phone every day."

"Look at him, he is so handsome and can cook."

"If you learn more from him, maybe our family will be able to treat guests next year."

"I don't need to worry about falling in love when I'm so old. When I was your age, my children could be soy sauce..."

The audience in front of the live broadcast screen was moved by the uncle's words, and each of them typed a series of hahaha on the barrage.

"Hahahaha I laughed so hard (*`*)"

"This is too funny hahaha*. (ˊωˋ*)*."

"Help! Why are these words exactly the same as what my parents said when they urged me to get married!"

"Ahahaha I will die laughing sooner or later in the host's live broadcast room!"

"No, no, no, I'm going to die laughing."

"Are you guys still laughing? Have you found someone? Have you bought a car or a house? Are you married? Is your child's kindergarten going to be good? Did you buy a house in the school district? How is your child's grades?"

"I'll go, you in front are simply a devil!"

"Okay, let me add... have you finished your homework?"

"Devil, you are all devils!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I haven't finished my homework yet!"

"I didn't do it either, and now I'm so panicked."

"Give me a pen, a lamp, one night, and I will give you a miracle."

"The one in front wants to help us with our homework? Report the address, and I'll go over with the homework right away."

"??? When did I say I would do homework for you?"

"I was watching the live broadcast, and now I heard what you said about the homework...so I was watching the live broadcast nervously."

"Why don't you do your homework?"

"I'm even more nervous when you say that!"

The food arrived quickly.

Li Xiao sat with fan Xiaowang and the uncle who just took the bee pupae.

"Hey, what is this?"

The uncle took out a small box out of nowhere as if conjuring a trick, and inside the box were fried grasshoppers.

Here I have to mention the eighteen monsters in Yunnan, one of which is "three grasshoppers and one dish".

Every harvest season, there will be a lot of grasshoppers jumping up and down in the rice fields. In the days when there was a shortage of food, people would catch a lot of grasshoppers to eat.

Grasshoppers are also locusts. A large number of locusts can be a devastating blow to crops. Therefore, catching and eating grasshoppers can not only protect the crops, but also supplement nutrition to fill the stomach. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Grasshoppers are rich in active substances such as protein, carbohydrates, and insect hormones, and contain vitamins A, B, C, and trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, and manganese. I heard that grasshoppers are not only a delicacy, but also a good medicine for curing diseases , has the effect of warming the stomach rib yang, invigorating the spleen and eliminating food, dispelling wind and relieving cough.

my country's "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that locusts can be used alone or in combination to treat a variety of diseases, such as tetanus, convulsions in children, fever, asthma, fever, cormorant plague, frostbite, tracheitis, and prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. disease etc.

"Hey, you still have this, it's not the season for grasshoppers, did you catch them last year or did you buy them on the street?"

Li Xiao saw the small box of deep-fried grasshoppers and said, "Isn't it expensive to buy these now?"

"Oh, we don't catch so many grasshoppers in the fields now, and many people in the fields are using pesticides. I dare not eat them. These are farmed grasshoppers."

While talking, the uncle picked up a grasshopper from the box with chopsticks and put it in the air, and started chewing it "click-click".

"It costs dozens of yuan a catty. If I hadn't heard that there were guests, I wouldn't have given it."

"This grasshopper is good for drinking, young man, do you know how to drink?"

Most of the men of the Yi nationality can drink, and the amount of alcohol is not bad.

"Of course I will."

Anyway, there was nothing to do at night, so Li Xiao planned to have a drink with this uncle.

Nowadays, wild mushrooms are also eaten, and jumping vegetables are also seen.

Tomorrow, I can't be so idle.

Li Xiao has not forgotten that he still has a system.

It's a serious matter to check in and visit the store.

But since they have all come here to play around and experience the local customs and ethnic customs here, it is not a bad thing.

If he hadn't experienced it, then Li Xiao might feel that his trip was in vain.

But before drinking, I have to taste the dishes I have worked so hard to cook.

Li Xiao first picked up a piece of steamed chicken fir with chopsticks.

"Well, the taste of this chicken fir mushroom is so delicious. Although it is a wild mushroom, it tastes like meat."

"It tastes sweet and salty, and it also contains the fragrance of ham..."

"It's simply the best ingredients."

"You don't need fancy cooking methods, you just need to add a few slices of ham on the plate to bring out its original sweetness."

Li Xiao sighed.

Next, of course, try the fried wild mushrooms.

Li Xiao picked up a few pieces of mushrooms and put them into his bowl.

When frying the mushrooms, Li Xiao also put a few slices of bacon in the pot, and the mixture of lard and rapeseed oil was also used for frying the mushrooms.

Because Li Xiao thinks that a single oil tastes relatively simple, and the aromas of lard and rapeseed oil are different, and only by using them together can the advantages of the two be well combined.

Putting a piece of fungus in your mouth is an unspeakable umami taste.

Originally, it smelled like ordinary mushrooms, but the second he ate it, Li Xiao understood why people in Yunnan, knowing that eating wild mushrooms would cause poisoning, persisted in picking wild mushrooms year after year.

Just because the fungus is so delicious.

The soft and tender mushrooms are paired with the slightly spicy pepper and the aroma of Chinese prickly ash. The handful of garlic that has just been put in becomes especially obvious at this moment.

The aroma of lard and bacon is mixed with the mushrooms from the mountains and forests.

It's as if there is a mountain wind, with the aroma of other spices passing through the nose.

The fragrance overflows.

This is Li Xiao's evaluation of this plate of mushrooms.

Thanks to Li Xiao's cooking skills, the heat of this plate of mushrooms is just right, and the taste of salt is just right.

No need to thicken, this plate of mushrooms comes with a thick and mellow sauce.

Smooth and delicate, it seems to slide directly from the mouth to the throat.

Li Xiao swallowed the wild mushrooms in his mouth, and suddenly felt that it would be a pity that such a thick sauce would not go with a bowl of rice.
