Chapter 173 Spicy Fish and Shrimp Pot (2)
The essence of food is a culture.
Xia Tian has always agreed with this statement, especially when she traveled to this strange world and faced unfamiliar ingredients, this experience became even more profound.
On Earth, as a female anchor of wilderness survival, she cannot often return to China, and her childhood experiences have made her have a weak attachment to her family, but this does not affect her formation of her own unique food memories.
For example, the bowl of handmade wontons I ate in the neighborhood downstairs when I was little, the fried noodles next to my first job, and the spicy crayfish I ate late at night while working overtime...
After accidentally entering the live streaming industry, the strange foods she had seen and eaten were deeply imprinted in her mind, and together constituted her understanding of food.
Xia Tian has always believed that no matter where you are, pursuing more delicious and exquisite food is human instinct.
The saying “never tire of fine food, never tire of delicate meat” is exactly about this principle.
But many times, people's yearning for specific foods often comes from their inability to let go of specific situations and specific memories.
Are the dishes my mother cooks really that delicious?
But that is the feeling in everyone's heart.
Just like the fish and shrimp stew in front of you.
In fact, how delicious can it be made in such an environment? The proportions between the various ingredients are also biased. If we only consider the technical and nutritional aspects, we can find many problems.
However, for Xia Tian, being able to create such a familiar taste from her hometown in such an unfamiliar place... To be frank, she was so moved that she wanted to cry.
This is why she couldn't stop eating once she started, and she didn't stop until she finished eating and was satisfied, and she was somewhat reluctant to leave.
This familiar spicy taste makes people feel as if they are still on Earth.
The people in the live broadcast room also felt the girl's strong affection for food.
Although they didn't know the truth and therefore couldn't understand it, the feeling of being immersed in it was truly conveyed -
It tastes delicious and people who see it want to eat it too.
It's that simple.
[Honestly, Xia Xia's eating was so real that I could even feel that extraordinary emotion]
"Yes, I've done other things before, but this is the first time... how should I put it, I've felt emotional?"
[I am becoming more and more curious about the taste of this thorny fruit]
[I have a bold guess. Could this be the flavor of the host's hometown?]
Coincidentally, Si Ye outside the screen thought the same thing.
He had never seen a dish using prickly pear as a seasoning, nor had he ever seen Xia Tian devote herself so wholeheartedly to eating a certain food.
There is no doubt that this method, or this dish, must have some extraordinary meaning to her.
But what this meaning is cannot be determined yet.
He began to show great curiosity about this dish, and also filled a bowl to try it.
Sure enough, the taste did not disappoint him.
Indeed... very fragrant, very fresh and very delicious.
While eating, he was thinking about this female Xia Tian. Where did she come from? What was her identity? And how many surprises did she have that he didn't know about?
"What do you think? What I made... is it to your taste?" Xia Tian watched Si Ye finish the fish and shrimp in the bowl without changing his expression, and asked him what he thought while choosing her words carefully.
Si Ye nodded politely and finished all the spicy soup in the pot. "It's delicious, this is the taste."
