Chapter 136: The Three Realms of Food

The next day, Li got up early and prepared to start his food tour in Qiongzhou Coconut City.

Li Cai didn't even wear sunglasses today, so he was ready to go out.

Among the four bodyguards who accompanied him, the leading bodyguard was called Wang Chao, and when he saw Li Cai, he was ready to go out without hiding anything, thinking that Li Cai had passed the night, so he didn't remember.

Wang Chao hurriedly reminded: "Li Shao, you haven't worn sunglasses, masks or anything like that to hide your identity, it will cause trouble later!"

Li Cai waved his hand, shook the black ring in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there won't be trouble, it's inconvenient to eat while wearing a mask." ”

Seeing that Li Cai didn't forget to wear something, but deliberately, the dynasty could only give up, but he knew in his heart that it would be very hard to wait. However, as a bodyguard, the person who collects money to do things can only listen to Li Cai's opinion.

After leaving the hotel, Li Cai and his entourage were ready to go to breakfast, and when they came to Qiongzhou, they naturally wanted to eat the famous local breakfast - Qiongzhou noodles.

Because it is a local specialty food, it can naturally be seen everywhere, Li Cai and his party came to a noodle shop that looked good, and entered to eat Qiongzhou noodles, and Qiongzhou noodles gave Li Cai the feeling that they were as white as snow and as fine as silk.

Qiongzhou noodles are made from rice and fanci flour as raw materials, mixed with dark soy sauce, garlic paste, peanut oil, or sesame oil, boiled black bean sprouts, shredded beef, fried shredded squid, fried peanuts, fried sesame seeds, crispy fried dough sheets, crushed coriander, bamboo shoots and sauerkraut.

After the Qiongzhou noodles are served on the table, the steaming steam, the tangy fragrance makes people uncontrollable, and in the whole bowl of noodles, the five colors of red, black, green, yellow, and white give people a very appetizing feeling.

In Li Cai's view, there are three realms of eating, namely foodies, gourmets, and gourmets.

Foodies just like to eat, can eat anything, don't pick anything, can taste good and bad, and distinguish the system.

Gourmets, on the other hand, have personal preferences and enjoyment, are more picky, have unique insights into taste, and have a deep understanding of ingredients, but they don't necessarily cook.

As for foodies, you don't necessarily need to know a lot of cooking skills, but you must know how to cook, and the most important thing is to be able to understand the flavor of ingredients in different cooking methods. A gourmand must be able to accurately express the characteristics of a food, give feedback to the chef, and give the listener three or four points of taste just by words.

Just like top foodies, many of them have obsessive-compulsive disorder, they don't give a good review when they think a dish is acceptable, but eat every bite in a targeted manner. When gourmets eat Western food, the first bite of the taste, to see if there is any taste that is covered up or what taste is particularly obvious, the second bite of texture, such as a piece of steak, from the moment you get off the knife, you can feel the softness, you can feel the fat content in the mouth, even if you only look at the lines, you can easily identify the position of the steak, the third bite is to look at the wine pairing, to see if the tannins of the wine have cut off the fat of the beef.

In short, a foodie is highly professional and knowledgeable, and is as different from a foodie as a race car driver and a taxi driver.

Generally speaking, a gourmand eats a chopstick, stops, even if he does not have an appetite, but still eats a few bites for an overall evaluation; As for foodies, as long as the taste is gone, eat one chopstick, eat another chopstick, eat another chopstick, eat another chopstick, eat another chopstick, eat another chopstick, eat another chopstick, and then finish eating.

Now Li Cai is in the late stage of food, ready to enter the early stage of gluttony, although the understanding of ingredients is still very shallow, but there is already a glutton's pickiness, many foods are not eaten, just like pork belly, because the pork belly is fat, looking at the greasy appearance of the fatty meat, Li Cai feels very uncomfortable, can't eat, for Koreans like pork belly so much, Li Cai feels very incomprehensible. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the so-called Korean beef in South Korea is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to eat it, so they can only eat cheap pork belly.

When he went to South Korea to compete in the past, Li Cai felt that Korean beef was expensive and tasted average, which was completely inferior to the domestic Inner Mongolia beef, let alone the Wagyu beef in the neon country.

But after Li Cai uses the tongue of the gods, he will become at the level of a gourmet, and even surpass a gourmet, after all, he can accurately say the advantages and disadvantages of food, and can completely restore the production method of food, which is a big bug, but Li Cai does not have the cooking skills of a gourmet. Like Zhao Kuo on paper, theory is powerful, but practice is not good.

began to taste Qiongzhou noodles, Li Cai only felt that Qiongzhou noodles were rich in flavor and fragrance, soft and smooth, stimulating appetite, and eating more was not greasy, especially when there was a small amount of noodles left at the end, adding a small bowl of hot mussel soup to eat together, it was full of fragrance and endless aftertaste.

After Li Cai and his entourage had breakfast, they began to go to the famous scenic spots of Coconut City to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

And along the way, the bodyguard dynasty was very worried, afraid of attracting the attention of others and making people pay attention to the famous star Li Cai.

Li Cai was carefree, not worried at all, and compared to the nervous bodyguards, he enjoyed the scenery of the coconut city alone.

Because it is in the morning, the dawn of dawn lifts off the light veil of night and spits out the golden morning light, which makes the coconut city very beautiful.

Along the way, Li saw all kinds of trees on both sides of the road, especially the tall coconut trees, shaking their leaves, as if nodding their heads to say hello! At the same time, breathing in the air without haze, he felt that his whole person was purified.

Came to the arcade old street in Coconut City, looking at the hot and lively old street, full of people, this is still the off-season for tourism, Li Cai dare not imagine that when it comes to the tourist season, how many people will be there, isn't it crowded with people, sticking to it.

There is no way to do such a thing, there is too much population in China, even if it is the off-season for tourism, it makes people feel that there are too many people.

Qilou Old Street is one of the most characteristic streetscapes in Coconut City, Li Cai looked at the arcade and found that most of those buildings are full of elegant and meticulous sculptures and Western-style decorations, which are very baroque.

As for why he came to Qilou Old Street, Li Cai planned to do so, because Qilou Snack Street is not far from Qilou Old Street, as long as you walk, you can go there to eat snacks after shopping.

Seeing Li Cai wandering around without covering anything, the dynasty wondered.

"It's strange, Li Shaoke is the most famous tennis player in China, and he is basically a household name, especially during this period of time, Li Shao's news, the news of defeating the neon country Nishiki Kei Kei, there should be many people who know it!

Just when the dynasty was puzzled, a group of young people passed by him, and they were still discussing Li Cai.

"Have you watched Li Cai's tennis game, which neon devil cried, it's really happy!"

"Of course I did, I'm a die-hard fan of Li Cai, I want to go to the scene to see it, and then ask him for an autograph. ”

And at this moment, Li turned around, came face to face with the young man who claimed to be a die-hard fan, and took a look.

"Oh no, it's been discovered. ”

The dynasty immediately became nervous, and was ready to take Li Cai with him, and the province would be surrounded by the others, and it would be difficult to get out.

I remember that after Li Cai's game ended, those fans were surrounded outside, which was terrible.

At that time, Li Cai stayed for a while, and it was crowded with people, if he hadn't walked fast, Wang Chao felt that he had been squeezed to death, and hundreds of people rushed over, it was simply terrifying!

But what the dynasty didn't expect was that which fan saw Li Cai and left.

Wang Chao couldn't believe it, and sighed in his heart: "Could it be that the people in Coconut City are blind? I can't find my idol so closely, and I still say that I am an iron fan, really!"

Although it is not clear why, no one found Li Cai along the way, and they all treated Li Cai as an ordinary person, which made the dynasty feel strange.

But at the same time, it also made the dynasty breathe a sigh of relief, and he didn't have to work hard to escape for his life.

After slowly finishing the old arcade street, Li Cai and his party came to the arcade snack street and began to eat.

In a short period of time, Li Cai put the famous local snacks, such as Baoluo Noodles, Qingbuliang, Anti-Sand Taro, Durian Crisp, Coconut Rice, Papaya Snow Clams...... Tasted them all.

In this way, Li Cai's day in Coconut City was like this, looking at the scenery, eating and drinking.
