Chapter 480 The Stunned Big Plate Chicken Boss
Looking at his system reward, Qin Yuan showed a look of satisfaction, then he got up and started washing. After washing, he turned on the sports camera and started shooting for a new day.

"Good morning everyone, it's 9 o'clock now. I was much more comfortable sleeping in the hotel than outside yesterday, so I accidentally slept until 8 o'clock.

Now it's time to continue. Next I will take the normal national highway, so the road conditions will definitely be much better than the uninhabited area in the previous two days. Therefore, the next journey will not be very rushed and I can ride slowly.

Since we have come to Hami in the Western Regions, we certainly cannot miss the delicious food here today. The food in the Western Regions is quite famous.

The well-known Dapanji is a delicacy in the Western Regions, but in addition to Dapanji, there are actually many other delicacies in the Western Regions.

Such as mutton braised pancakes, Western barbecue, hand-pulled meat, meatball soup, etc., these are rare delicacies in the Western Region.

Okay, without further ado, let me pack my luggage first. After I’m done, I’ll go straight to have a nice meal.

After eating, I will continue to head towards my next destination. The final destination of this trip is WLMQ, and I plan to complete it within 7 days.

I can't confirm the exact completion time myself, I can only give a rough estimate, OK, let's go." Qin Yuan said while packing his things and looking at the camera.

While he was talking, he had finished packing his luggage, so he picked up his luggage and left the hotel.

Then he tied everything to the bicycle. After that, he rode directly towards Turpan without any delay.

After passing through an uninhabited area once, he now has a psychological trauma about washboard roads, so he would never ride on such a bad road even if he were beaten to death.

Before leaving Hami, he needed to purchase some supplies, because the total distance from Hami to Turpan was 350 kilometers, which meant he had to ride on the road for another two days.

The entire road passes through desert areas. Although the cycling conditions are much better than the washboard roads in uninhabited areas, the overall natural environment is still quite bad.

So he still had to be prepared, including water and food, otherwise it would be difficult to survive on the road without water and food.

By the time he finished purchasing the necessary supplies, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. As he was busy purchasing, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast.

"I finally bought what I needed. I rode on washboard roads over the past few days, so my tires had to be repaired several times and are now on the verge of being scrapped. So I went to several stores today to buy new tires.

But Hami is too remote and too small, and the tire brand I want is not available there, so I can only find a decent brand to replace it and buy it when I get to a big city!
However, since it took quite a while to find the tire, I originally planned to finish it in half an hour so that I could set off at 9: in the morning.

But it actually took much longer than I planned. It's already 11 o'clock in the morning. I thought that since it's so late, I'm too lazy to rush.

Let’s find a restaurant nearby to have a meal first, and then set off! Anyway, we have to stay out today, so it doesn’t matter if we leave early or late.”

Qin Yuan was filming with his sports camera while pushing his bicycle to find something to eat. Not long after, he found a local restaurant on the main road out of the city.

Because it is a local restaurant, the restaurant's sign alone has very local characteristics and is therefore highly recognizable.

"What would you like to eat, Adasi?" When the boss saw Qin Yuan walk into the restaurant, he came over and asked enthusiastically. His accent was very distinctive, and one could tell at once that he was a native of the Western Regions.

"Do you have big plate chicken at this time?" Qin Yuan looked at the menu and was immediately attracted by the big plate chicken.

Seeing that Qin Yuan wanted to eat the big plate of chicken, the boss looked behind Qin Yuan and found that there was no one else.

So he asked curiously: "Adasi, are you alone? Don't you have any other friends?"

When Qin Yuan heard the boss ask this, he knew what the boss was worried about.

He immediately smiled and said, "Yes, it's just me, but don't worry, I have a huge appetite, I can finish a large plate of chicken by myself."

"Adasi, are you kidding? You finished a whole plate of chicken by yourself! Is this true? The portions in our house are really huge!"

"It's okay, just go ahead! Make sure to finish eating. If you can't finish it, you can pack it up. Adasi!" Qin Yuan imitated the boss and said Adasi.

Seeing Qin Yuan's persistence, the boss didn't say anything more. He nodded and walked into the kitchen.

"By the way, boss, can I take a video?" Qin Yuan asked the boss.

"Adasi, are you a food blogger? If you are, I don't have money to promote you. And bloggers have to pay for their eating methods."

When the boss heard Qin Yuan asking about the filming, he immediately became alert. It was obvious that the other party must have suffered a loss in this regard.

“I can only say that I am an amateur food blogger, not a professional in this field. I just happened to come to the Western Regions, so I wanted to take some photos as a souvenir.

If I can't take the photo, that's fine. By the way, boss, judging from your appearance, have you been cheated by a food blogger before?" Qin Yuan asked curiously.

"That's right! Adasi, before, several customers who claimed to be food bloggers came to my store and said they could promote me and bring me more business.

It was the first time I met such people at that time, so I refused without thinking. However, after those guys finished eating, they said that they had filmed a promotional video for me and wanted me to waive their meal expenses.

Of course I couldn't agree to it. I clearly told them I didn't want it, but they still insisted on doing it. It was very unpleasant in the end and I even called the police. So after that, I never received any food bloggers again.

Adasi, if you are a food blogger and you want to charge me, I won’t cook for you. Go eat somewhere else!” the boss said seriously.

Qin Yuan didn't expect that the boss in front of him had such an unpleasant experience. It has to be said that no matter what industry it is, there will always be a few bad apples that spoil the whole bunch.

He had heard of news about food bloggers eating and drinking for free in restaurants in the name of promotion, but that was only on the Internet. This was the first time he had seen someone do it in person.

Although he is not a food blogger, he does occasionally shoot videos about food, so this kind of thing makes him feel quite embarrassed.

He quickly explained: "Boss, don't worry, I don't charge you, and I won't eat for free. I will definitely pay you. If you don't want me to take pictures, I won't take pictures."

"Adasi, that's not what I meant. If you are not one of those messy food bloggers, you can shoot however you want. I won't stop you." "No, absolutely not!" Qin Yuan assured repeatedly.

"That's good, then you can take pictures however you want!" Hearing Qin Yuan's sincere assurance, the boss nodded and walked into the kitchen.

Seeing that he had dealt with the boss, Qin Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then set up the sports camera on the table and started filming.

“I found a local restaurant and asked the owner for permission to shoot. I ordered a Western specialty - Da Pan Ji.

This is not the first time I have eaten Dapanji. I have eaten there before in many Western restaurants in other places, and they all sold Dapanji.

However, since I didn’t eat it locally in the Western Region, I don’t know whether it is authentic or not. Today I will try it directly in the Western Region to see what the difference is between it and the big plate chicken I have eaten before.

Before serving, let me tell you something about this Da Pan Ji! I believe most people have heard of this dish. Even if you haven't eaten it, you must have heard of it.

Western Region Dapanji, also known as Shawan Dapanji and Spicy Fried Chicken, is a specialty food of SW City, Tacheng Prefecture, Western Region Uygur Autonomous Region.

This is a Jianghu dish that originated in XJ roadside restaurants in the 20s. It is mainly made by stir-frying and stewing chicken and potato cubes, and then eaten with belt noodles.

There are two theories about the origin of this dish. One theory is that Zuo Zongtang of the Qing Dynasty won a victory in the Western Regions, and he used local chickens and chili peppers to make a delicacy to reward the troops. This is the predecessor of Dapanji.

The second theory is that Dapanji is an appetizer for long-distance drivers. In the old days, to go from WLMQ to Yili, Tacheng, Altay and other places, one had to pass through Shawan. Due to the poor road conditions, it took half a day to drive from WLMQ to Shawan, and most drivers were already hungry.

As a result, there were many small restaurants on both sides of the road in SW County that were opened for passing drivers. One of the Sichuan chefs fried chicken with dried and green peppers that stimulated the appetite, and then served it with potatoes, wide noodles, etc., which was very popular. Later, this dish gradually evolved into big plate chicken. Of these two statements, I personally prefer the latter. "

Just as Qin Yuan was watching the camera shooting, the boss had already walked out of the kitchen, holding a large plate of brightly colored chicken in his hand. That was his Western Region Big Plate Chicken.

"Wow, what a big portion! It's even bigger than I expected at first. It will definitely be satisfying to eat such a large portion." Qin Yuan said in surprise as he looked at the big plate of chicken that the boss brought out.

You have to know that he has been to Northeast China and has seen the portions there, but even the portions in Northeast China cannot be compared with the big plate of chicken in front of him.

"Boss, are you sure this is the big plate of chicken for 128 yuan? Is this the plus version?" Qin Yuan asked seriously.

"This is the 128 yuan portion. Don't doubt the size of our portions. They have always been this big. We will never charge you a penny more."

"That's really great. Just based on the portion size, this big plate of chicken is worth the money, and it looks great too. Just looking at it makes me salivate. I'm going to start eating now."

As Qin Yuan spoke, he picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. The aroma of meat combined with the unique flavor of spices from the Western Regions made Qin Yuan feel amazing.

"The chicken smells so good and is cooked to the right temperature. It's not too soft, but it's not chewy either. It's just the right texture, chewy yet smooth and soft. It's really delicious. Great."

Qin Yuan made his comments while eating and looking at the camera. As a chef with master-level cooking skills, he is very professional in food tasting and also very convincing.

In the eyes of his fans, he is a big foodie, so they like to watch him eat and they also approve of his comments.

“I said earlier that I wanted to try the big plate chicken here and see how it differs from the big plate chicken I’ve had elsewhere, and now I can tell you.

There is still a big difference in the taste of the two, but if you force me to say which one is better and which one is worse, I really can't tell.

Because the big plate chicken I have eaten before was all very delicious. In fact, for people from the Western Regions, there is no authentic big plate chicken in the world.

If you ask a hundred people from the Western Regions, you will get a hundred ways to cook Western Region Dapanji, and each one of them will claim that theirs is the authentic one.

So if I insist that this restaurant’s big plate chicken is more authentic, I don’t think even the locals would agree, let alone you.

So we won’t worry about whether it’s authentic or not, all you need to know is that this big plate chicken is delicious.”

"Adasi, I like what you said. It is really like this in our Western Regions. The taste of the big plate chicken made by each household is slightly different.

But they are all delicious. Thank you for telling the truth, unlike those bloggers I have read before, who are full of nonsense and make no sense. "

"Boss, thank you for the compliment. Being in the self-media industry is almost the same as being in the news industry. Seeking truth and being pragmatic is the first element. If you can't even achieve this basic point, then no matter how good the other content is, it will just be eye-catching rumors. I won't do this kind of thing!" Qin Yuan said seriously.

"Okay, okay, if I had met a food blogger like you before, I wouldn't have been so angry as to call the police. By the way, Adasi, what is your account? I'll follow it and take a look at the comments from your fans."

"Boss, there's no need to follow me. I'm just a small blogger and not many people pay attention to me." Qin Yuan smiled modestly.

“What? No one follows a practical blogger like you? That’s really unfair. No, the more you say that, the more I will follow you. Bloggers like you deserve more attention. Come on, tell me your name and I will follow you now.” The boss took out his mobile phone enthusiastically.

Seeing that his boss was serious, Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh and cry, but the other party had already done this, so he naturally couldn't refuse.

So he could only bite the bullet and tell him his online name: "My name is 'Qin Yuan Wandering Dragon Country'. Brother, you don't usually watch videos online, right?"

Qin Yuan asked with a smile on his face, because as a super blogger with more than 7000 million fans, anyone who watched his videos basically knew him, but the big brother in front of him knew nothing about him.

This can only mean one thing, that is, he doesn't go online much.

As expected, the man nodded and said, "I'm usually too busy with work to have time to check my phone! I only check it occasionally, but not too often."

As the boss was talking, he searched Qin Yuan's online name. He didn't know what he was looking for until he searched. The boss was completely shocked.

"What!! 7280 million fans!!"
