Chapter 1408: Chapter 1395: County Food Documentary

In the afternoon, Zhongyi Tang staff came to Wang Ya’s house and took Wang Ya’s mom to the hospital for a check-up.

After examination, it was determined that it’s nothing serious.

All that’s needed is timely treatment, relaxation, and keeping up with nutritional needs, like eating more.

Liu Hanyan pulled Luofeng to the county town to start visiting various cuisines in this small town to select subjects for filming a food documentary.

Ever since leaving Huya, Liu Hanyan’s main income has been from the popularity of these food documentaries on YouTube and Bilibili.

The local food Liu Hanyan plans to film today is quite interesting, called "Three Do-Not-Sticks."

This isn’t the basketball term "three no-hit plays."

No touching the backboard, no rim, no hoop.

This is a type of food.

The main ingredients are eggs and starch.

The reason for this name is that it doesn’t stick to the plate, chopsticks, or teeth. This dessert was once named "Three Do-Not-Sticks" by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty and taken back to the Forbidden City, becoming a Qing Dynasty imperial delicacy.

Although the ingredients of this dish are simple, achieving the true "Three Do-Not-Sticks" is quite challenging.

Luofeng, on Liu Hanyan’s recommendation, entered a shop. Although not large in scale, the decor style was somewhat vintage.

Luofeng and Liu Hanyan first chose a portion of "Three Do-Not-Sticks" to taste.

At least to genuinely know if this shop can achieve the true "Three Do-Not-Sticks."

If they can achieve it, Liu Hanyan might negotiate with the store owner.

Moments later, a middle-aged man brought a golden plate of "Three Do-Not-Sticks" to the table. He looked at Liu Hanyan for a while but then worriedly retracted his gaze and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Hello, I’m the shop owner and host, everyone calls me Chen Laosan!"

Luofeng asked, "Hello, Boss Chen!"

"I know this lady!" Boss Chen said.

"Ah?" Luofeng raised an eyebrow.

"She’s recently a popular food vlogger on Bilibili, and I heard she also has videos on overseas YouTube which are quite popular." Chen Laosan said.

"Our ’Three Do-Not-Sticks’ is a specialty, and we’ve been operating for over twenty years. I guess now Ms. Liu is here to assess our food and consider whether to make a video episode for us, right?" Chen Laosan said.

"Boss, you’re quite insightful, that’s exactly right!" Liu Hanyan nodded and said.

"Welcome Ms. Liu to evaluate our cuisine!" Knowing the situation, Chen Laosan smiled widely.

Because such circumstances.

Represent whether his cuisine can become popular.

After all, if Liu Hanyan selects it, then it will receive a large amount of traffic.

Liu Hanyan picked up chopsticks and said, "The main point of ’Three Do-Not-Sticks’ is that it doesn’t stick to the plate, chopsticks, or teeth. If these three points aren’t met, then it’s a failed ’Three Do-Not-Sticks, right Boss Chen?"

"Exactly!" Chen Laosan nodded confidently.

Then, Liu Hanyan started using chopsticks to pick up pieces from the plate.

She found it did not stick to the plate.

And the chopsticks were not sticking either.

She started putting it in her mouth.

As a result, her teeth also didn’t find it sticky.

"Big King, take a look?" Liu Hanyan indicated for Luofeng to taste.

Luofeng also tasted it.

Indeed, there was no sticky situation with the teeth.

"How is it?" Liu Hanyan asked.

But actually, Luofeng wanted to say it’s not that great.

After all, the system didn’t come up with any rewards, right?

Mainly, Luofeng didn’t have a good feeling towards sweets.

The system evaluation isn’t based on whether the food is good but rather on whether Luofeng finds it good.

"It’s okay!" Luofeng nodded and said.

Liu Hanyan knew about Luofeng’s taste, as he doesn’t particularly like sweets, but since Luofeng didn’t seem against it, it means it’s decent.

"This portion of ’Three Do-Not-Sticks’ is indeed good!" Liu Hanyan said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Liu. According to Ms. Liu’s evaluation, how many points can our shop get?" Chen Laosan asked.

Liu Hanyan thought for a moment and said, "In terms of taste, I’d give it eight points; it’s sweet but not cloying, fragrant and crispy, fitting general tastes. In terms of appearance, this semi-liquidity is very outstanding and displays good tension on the plate. With the evenly spread golden color, I’d give it eight points!"

"For the environment, I’d give six points!"

After Liu Hanyan finished speaking.

Chen Laosan also expressed understanding, as their shop is in the county town where the dining environment definitely wouldn’t be that great.

"In terms of service, I’d give six points!" Liu Hanyan said.

It’s the same phrase; in a small town, the service and dining environment cannot be expected to be too good.

Unless one is willing to spend a lot of money.

But basically, such a situation doesn’t exist.

Because in such places, after you spend so much, how many wealthy people would come to eat in the afternoon?

It’s not to say small places don’t have wealthy people; small places do have wealthy people, but the base is small.

This made Luofeng recall a saying; some netizens, when talking about where they’re from, seem to have a natural sense of pride.

Perhaps unaware of another saying: regardless of location, poverty remains, wealth remains even in remote areas.

"Ms. Liu, I wonder if you’d be willing to make a video for our cuisine?" Chen Laosan proactively asked.

"Mr. Chen, we can make a documentary about your cuisine, but during filming, we need to capture all the details. Hence, it’s possible your recipe might be leaked. Because of this, many potential foods we’ve approached refused our filming," Liu Hanyan explained.

"Our ’Three Do-Not-Sticks’ is actually simple to make; the key lies in experience, including the control of heat and so on! There isn’t any exclusive secret recipe." Chen Laosan made it clear that the exclusive recipe requires only his skill, not adding anything extra for good taste.

Liu Hanyan nodded.

Actually, most cuisines.

Don’t have exclusive secret recipes.

It’s all about the technique.

"Since that’s the case, Mr. Chen, when would you be able to record?" Liu Hanyan asked.

"I can do it anytime!" Chen Laosan said.

"So, how long does it take to make a ’Three Do-Not-Sticks’ from start to finish?" Liu Hanyan asked again.

"From beating the eggs and flour, to incorporating sugar and starting the countdown from fermentation time, generally it takes about two hours for the best texture!" Chen Laosan explained.
