Chapter 122 [Dongtian Paradise]
Li Yi's words made the audience in the live broadcast room become serious.
"Really, it's only been a few years since we had enough to eat. My dad was often hungry when he was a child!"
"Don't talk about the past. Now some places still don't have enough to eat!"
"Last time I saw a girl buying a cup of milk tea for more than 20 yuan. She took a sip, took a photo, and threw it in the trash. I only had more than 20 yuan for a day's meal!"
"I have a habit. When eating rice, I must eat every grain of rice in the bowl. If I leave even one grain behind, I feel bad."
"When I was a waiter, many customers ordered a table of food, only ate a little bit, and then left. Then we all went in and ate together, closing the door, and no one felt embarrassed!"
At the dinner table, everyone started chatting after hearing Li Yi's words.
Zheng Jun, the oldest person at the table, was particularly touched by this: "I had just graduated from college at that time and had no job. I came to the capital to play rock music and I really didn't have any money in my pocket.
At that time, I only ate one pancake fruit every day, and every time I asked the boss to spread it bigger for me, just so I could have one more bite.
That pancake fruit is so delicious, I can't bear to leave any crumbs.
If you are young, you may not know what it feels like to be hungry.
Therefore, in my family, my son is absolutely not allowed to have leftover food, not even a single noodle is allowed to be left, otherwise he will not be allowed to eat for a day.
Wasting food will increase karma. What Li Yi said just now is right. Every porridge and meal are hard-earned. It is really hard work for every grain."
After listening to his words, everyone slowed down a little.
There is a display screen on the wall beside the dining table, and you can see the audience's comments.
A passing barrage suddenly caught everyone's attention.
"Is it really okay for you to sit in the restaurant of the Forbidden City, eat such expensive food, and talk about saving food?"
Seeing this barrage, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing this, Sui looked at the camera and explained seriously: "Let me tell you, the purpose of our program is to use such a platform to show everyone the charm of extreme cooking skills, which have condensed countless people over thousands of years. The chef's hard work and creative dishes let everyone know about our top-notch Chinese cooking skills and food culture.
Although these dishes are expensive, everyone can see the cost here. The raw materials used are the best, so the prices are certainly not cheap.
More importantly, the technology and cooking skills required to make these dishes are the most precious and scarce."
As he said that, he looked at Li Yi and sighed: "To put it seriously, if Li Yi didn't make these dishes, they would really be lost."
"You picked on me again."
Li Yi joked with a smile.
"This is not a joke, I am serious."
Sui then said seriously: "If I hadn't come here today, I really wouldn't have seen such top-notch cooking skills. I probably wouldn't have even thought about it, let alone made it.
You are someone who is really passing on these things, and I admire you for this alone!"
When Huang Xiaoming heard this, he also interjected: "So I really want to thank Brother Yi. If it weren't for Brother Yi, we would never have the chance to eat such delicious food in our lives."
Wu Lei heard this, picked up the teacup in his hand and shouted: "Brother Yi, I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine!"
"No need."
Li Yi smiled and said: "If you do more work for me later, you will be considered as helping me."
"no problem!"
Wu Lei patted his chest and promised: "Leave any strenuous work to me! I will definitely help you do it obediently!"
His pretending to be bold made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere became joyful again.
"Brother Yi."
Liu Yifei pointed to the purple clay pot shaped like a mountain and asked, "What is this dish?"
Others also noticed this strange-looking dish and their curiosity was aroused.
Liu Yun asked in surprise: "Is this also a dish? I thought it was just a decoration!"
"It's a dish, it's the Cave of Paradise on the menu."
Li Yi explained: "The shape of this purple clay pot is a mountain peak, and the soy milk inside symbolizes the milk in the stone. The ancients believed that the milk in the stone is a tonic that prolongs life, so this dish is called [Dongtian Blessed Land]."
With that said, he stood up and picked up the purple clay pot, revealing the candle that was still burning underneath.
"The preparation of this dish is a bit like ginger and milk, but it is derived from the preparation method of tofu curd and can be prepared and eaten immediately."
As he spoke, he took out a small bowl next to the teapot and placed it on the table.
There were some water stains at the bottom of the bowl. He pointed at the water stains and explained: "It's not that it's not cleaned, it's some specially prepared lactone solution.
The full name of lactone is gluconolactone. Like the brine and gypsum used to make tofu, it is also a coagulant.
However, the chemical properties of brine and gypsum are salts, while lactones are acids.
The tofu made with lactone will be smoother, more tender and taste better."
While he was talking, he took the purple clay pot and poured the soy milk in the purple clay pot that was kept above ninety degrees by the candle flame into the small bowl.
The soy milk disperses the lactone solution at the bottom of the bowl and quickly blends it together.
Li Yi conveniently closed the lid of the small bowl and signaled to Liu Yifei: "Take it over and wait for three minutes, then open the lid and eat."
Liu Yifei stood up and took the bowl, looked at it curiously, and then said with a smile: "Looking at it this way, it really looks a bit like ginger hitting milk!"
"If you like your drink sweet, put some sugar in it later."
Li Yi made another bowl and handed it to Zhao Jinmai.
Zhao Jinmai took it carefully and then realized: "Oh, I understand, this is actually a bowl of tofu, right?"
"If you understand it that way, it's almost the same."
Li Yi smiled and nodded, and then pointed to the circle of ingredients around the purple clay pot and explained: "But this tofu noodle dish has a complete set of ingredients. You can adjust whatever flavor you want. There is also a marinade that I made with broth." Juice, you can try it."
"Is this ground coriander?"
Zhao Jinmai saw a pile of green leaves behind the purple clay pot: "I wonder why there is a plate of coriander here! It turns out it is served with tofu curd."
"ah?"
Wu Lei was shocked: "Do you also need to put coriander in the tofu curd?"
"let it go?"
Zhao Jinmai was puzzled: "Aren't you going to let me go?"
"Of course I won't let it go!"
Wu Lei couldn't understand: "Just put sugar in the tofu brain! Why put coriander?"
"Of course I have to add coriander, but also marinade, sesame oil, vinegar, and I also like to add a little fermented bean curd juice. It's especially delicious."
Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"heresy!"
Wu Lei shook his head repeatedly and shouted: "I unilaterally declare that drinking anything other than tofu and sugar is heresy!"
"You are the heretic!"
Zhao Jinmai curled his lips: "If you drink tofu curd with sugar, will it taste better?"
Their bickering soon caused a scuffle among the audience in the live broadcast room, and the barrage was already crazy.
"What the hell is putting coriander in? Can you drink it?"
"Tofu brain sweet party gathers!"
"Down with the sweet party! The salty party will win!"
"Those who have never tried salted tofu pudding have no right to speak. Once you have, you will know that salted tofu pudding is absolutely YYDS!"
"Ah? Aren't all tofu puddings spicy? Do you want to eat them dipped in water? Isn't that the case at your place?"
"???"
"???"
