Chapter 60 Yuuka? Aren’t you in class?

【The missing person returns! 】

[No? What did you do yesterday? ]

[I suspect the anchor has already flown to Neon]

[You're looking for Yuuka without telling us, right? You've already got a way to die! ]

"Brothers, long time no see. I took a leave yesterday because I went back to my hometown."

As Zhao Yu spoke, he turned the camera and then turned around to show the audience in the live broadcast room the scenery outside the side hall.

In the countryside of the three southwestern provinces, the doors of side halls are usually not completely closed during the day, even in winter. This makes it more convenient for neighbors to visit, and everyone chats while warming themselves by the fire.

Sometimes, some acquaintances passing by will be directly pulled in to drink together. This is the daily life in the three southwestern provinces.

[I made it! What a huge field! ]

[The sky looks so blue! It’s totally different from the city! ]

[I feel relieved if you don’t go to find Yuuka…]

[The guy in front is still thinking about Yuuka? They are almost getting married.]

[As long as there is no official announcement, I will have a chance sooner or later]

"The property manager should give this person a two-hour package." Zhao Yu took a look at the barrage and spoke directly.

How dare you say that in front of me? If I can't punish others, how can I punish you? Just put the ball in your mouth!

[It’s so funny, this is the fate of a dog licker]

[What a great authority anchor, I love you]

[Will Yuuka come out today? I kind of want to see Yuuka]

"Youhua should still be in class now, right? I'll ask her at noon." Zhao Yu said.

Zhao Yu had been spending some time with Yuhua this morning, and he was not sure if continuing would disturb Yuhua from doing other things.

Although he really enjoys chatting with Yuka, he can't leave her with no freedom because of this.

Zhao Yu remembered that there was a term in Japan called "heavy girls", which described girls who brought great pressure to men in love.

This usually manifests itself in behaviors such as wanting to be together all the time and requiring the boy to report wherever she goes.

If I keep clinging to Yuka like this, wouldn't that make me a 'female-oriented' person? No, if I were a male, I'd be called a 'male-oriented' person, right?

Never mind...

"The weather is pretty good today. You can see the blue sky. If it rains, we'll have to stay in the house and warm ourselves by the fire." Zhao Yu shrugged and returned to the fire pit.

[Warming up by a fire? Can you warm up by a fire at home? I thought everyone used heating in winter. 】

[What a nostalgic word. I remember that when I was a kid, we often sat around the fire together.]

"Well, in the three southwestern provinces, some villages still preserve the fire pit culture. That's it..." Zhao Yu pointed the camera at the fire pit.

The fire pit is a 1-meter square area of ​​land paved with earth in the room. In the past, there were three stones in the fire pit for making fire and cooking.

Later, they switched to using iron tripods, and the fire pit was filled with smoke all year round, used for cooking during the day and warming oneself by the fire at night.

In the past in Sichuan and Shu, fire pits were a very important part of life.

Even some ethnic minorities hold fire pit sacrifices every year, as they believe that the fire pit god blesses their family's happiness and well-being.

As Zhao Yu continued to talk, some northern viewers in the barrage also roughly understood what this thing was.

[So that's how it is. I suddenly feel a little refreshed. I can sit here, warm myself by the fire, and enjoy the scenery outside. ]

[Hahaha, yes, when I was a kid I loved sitting by the fire while watching the rain outside.]

"In fact, the most enjoyable thing is to cook wine..." Zhao Yu also joined in the conversation, recalling the scenes of the New Year when he was a child.

"Generally, people in the countryside have their own brewed wine. In the winter, you can sit around the fire and chat while warming up a pot of wine. It's such a pleasant experience." When I was a child, my father liked to do this with his friends. They would talk about astronomy and geography, and talk about love and romance, while drinking hot wine and laughing loudly.

Zhao Yu was playing with the firecrackers his father bought for him at the door. When he got tired, he sat on the doorstep and watched his father with a red face.

I didn’t understand anything at that time, I just knew that my dad would be very happy after drinking what was in the small pot.

When he grew up, Zhao Yu realized that happiness was not brought by the wine in the pot, but by having a group of friends with whom he could chat freely.

[People in the north are envious. When we were young, we basically had big courtyards. ]

[People in the city envy me. The New Year in the city is always quiet and deserted. Only my home is lively. There is no such harmonious neighborhood relationship. ]

"It's useless to just envy. The fire pit is a part of the romance of the three southwestern provinces." Zhao Yu smiled.

"But if you are interested, you are welcome to come to the countryside of Chengdu to experience it. Other places in the southwest are also OK. I remember there are special fire pit bars in Yunnan and Guizhou."

Since the purpose is to attract tourists, there is no need to be so stingy. After all, the three provinces are inseparable...

[There is a place to travel! Drinking wine and talking about heroes, it feels really romantic! 】

【Welcome everyone to come to your province after visiting Chengdu! 】

[Yunnan Province also welcomes everyone! 】

[Okay, okay, wouldn’t it be great if we could just go to all three places? ]

[By the way, what is that black thing hanging above the fire pit? ]

At this moment, a question suddenly came from the barrage.

"You are talking about this. I guess many friends from other provinces have never seen it. It is considered our traditional cooking tool and is used for cooking."

As Zhao Yu spoke, he picked up the tongs beside him and poked the tin.

"I think rice cooked in a tin can is more fragrant than rice cooked in an electric rice cooker. In addition to rice, potatoes or sweet potatoes are usually added. In Sichuan and Chongqing, they are called potato rice and sweet potato rice."

After a brief explanation, Zhao Yu stood up, picked up a towel, opened the tin, and showed the audience the inside.

"It looks like the time is almost up. Next, just put it by the fire and let it simmer slowly."

Zhao Yu lifted the tin down with force and put it aside.

"Then as long as it is heated evenly, there will be rice crusts at the bottom of the tin, which used to be my favorite snack."

[Rice crust? Is it the kind you get in restaurants? ]

[It is much better than the ones in restaurants. The rice crust in restaurants is a bit greasy, but the rice crust in iron pot is not.]

Time passed quickly as he chatted with the barrage of comments. Zhao Yu kept paying attention to the tin can, turning it over from time to time.

"Okay, I'll go serve the rice and show you the rice crust!" Zhao Yu put his phone on the bench and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, as Zhao Yu served out the rice, the rice crust at the bottom of the iron can appeared in front of him. He carefully shoveled it off with a spatula.

Because of the shape of the tin can, the rice stuck together to form a hemisphere with a beautiful brown color on it, but you can still vaguely see the original white color inside.

Zhao Yu poked it lightly with chopsticks, and the hemispherical shape was broken. The crispy feeling made the audience a little envious.

Zhao Yu broke off a piece of rice crust and couldn't help but taste it in the live broadcast room.

"Hehe, it still tastes the same as before, with a strong aroma of rice, a hint of sweetness, and a very strong aroma of paste. This is not the kind of fried rice crust, but the original flavor."

After showing it to the audience in the live broadcast room, Zhao Yu showed a smile on his face.

[This looks so delicious! Yujun! I want to eat it too! ]

A barrage of comments suddenly floated by and was instantly captured by Zhao Yu.

"Yuuka? Aren't you in class?"
