Chapter 5: Shocking!

"It must be to increase the umami flavor of fried rice."

Lao Tang said his guess: "Did you see it? His actions of adding broth are very particular."

"Yeah?"

The cameraman took Li Yi's movements and gradually saw the trick.

"I saw it!"

He said excitedly: "When the boss adds the stock, he always stirs the fried rice and then throws the stock into the bottom of the pot!"

"Hey! You're using the right words."

Lao Tang affirmed his observation: "The moment the stock touches the bottom of the pot, it evaporates by the high temperature of the pot and turns into fog, just wrapping the falling rice grains.

In this way, all the umami flavor in the broth is attached to the rice grains, so even if you only use white rice to stir-fry, it will be so fresh that your eyebrows will lose."

The female assistant couldn't help swallowing and added: "Is that equivalent to adding MSG?"

“Yes!”

Old Tang nodded with a smile: "In the past, chefs did not have MSG, and they all rely on stock to improve freshness. The stock is pure natural MSG, and it is fresher than MSG."

"very nice."

The female assistant asked curiously: "How is the broth made? My mother doesn't eat MSG, so I will cook some broth for her when I look back."

"The broth is much more expensive than MSG. It uses chicken, duck, fish, and delicacies to make it taste delicious."

Old Tang sniffed the fresh fragrance in the air and thought about it: "The broth he used should contain fish, whole chicken, whole duck, and ham, and the rest could not be smelled."

While they were talking, Li Yi had added soup to the pot twice and added chopped green onion in the middle.

The delicious smell in the broth continued to permeate the air, gradually attracting passers-by in the alley.

After seeing the signboard at Li Yi’s food stall, the new passers-by couldn’t help but be shocked.

But after smelling the fragrance in the air, they were a little shaken.

If it is such a delicious fried rice, it should be more expensive, right?

Only the little black guys in the live broadcast room are still complaining.

"It's too fake, too fake. It's obvious that it's a script, it must be a character designed by the live broadcast company."

"How many extras have you invited? Old Tang has also invited him. This anchor is very rich!"

"I don't believe that a bowl of fried rice can taste delicious to the sky. No matter how good it is, it is just a bowl of fried rice. Why should it be sold for ten thousand?"

"I don't care, it's fake if I can't eat it."

But the more complaints, the more audience there will be in the live broadcast room.

Before we knew it, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had exceeded 4,000+.

In front of the stove, Li Yi was still swaying the pot at a constant speed and steadily.

At this time, the pot, rice and ingredients were already weighing five pounds.

But he seemed to feel the weight, as stable as a robot.

Under his turbulence, the rice in the pot seemed to turn into a ball of rice waves that kept jumping and rolling in the pot, and no grain fell out of the pot.

The cameraman saw the best of his skill in pulling the spoon.

Under the camera, Li Yi's actions seem to be a superb art, completely natural.

In the face of this kind of skill, even if you don’t eat, just watching him scoop it is a kind of enjoyment.

Finally, Li Yi is going to add the last spoonful of soup.

Before adding the soup, he took out a small bowl, put a ball of white silk into the soup bowl, and poured it into the pot together.

The female assistant noticed his movements and asked curiously: "Teacher Tang, what did he add just now?"

Old Tang rubbed his nose: "If I read it right, he should be the best official Yan."

"Bird's nest?"

The female assistant exclaimed: "So much good stuff!"

"yes!"

Old Tang sighed: "This boss is really willing to lay out the ingredients. Such good ingredients are all used for fried rice...tsk tsk!"

"I haven't eaten bird's nest..."

The female assistant looked expectant.

"Then you eat a few more bites later to beautify and nourish your skin!"

Old Tang said, and couldn't help but add: "But bird's nest has no smell. Generally, broth is used to borrow flavor for it. Can it be delicious if it is put in fried rice? Let's see later!"

"What's the meaning?"

The female assistant asked in confusion: "Are you saying there is a risk of a crash?"

"How to say it?"

Old Tang carefully said, "Cooking is not about adding. Just throwing a bunch of good ingredients into it can make delicious food. It's not necessarily true.

This little boss is good at craftsmanship, you can tell by looking at the spoon, but if you put all the good things together, can the taste be unified and coordinated, well... I can't say it anyway, I'll take a look after it later!"

The audience around him also heard his words and followed them to discuss.

"I think so, putting so many things together will make you stew it all over?"

"Don't waste good things!"

"It shouldn't be that right? I smell it very fragrant!"

"It's hard to say before it's out of the pot. I used to fried rice and it was fine before it was almost out of the pot. Later, I wanted to add some soy sauce and add some color, but it was wrong and it turned into vinegar. Good guy! I can't eat it."

Their voices did not reach Li Yi's ears, and his attention was on the rumbling rice li in front of him.

After seeing that the last time the broth was added was all wrapped on the rice grains and there was no more soup in the pot, he finally added all the supplementary ingredients to the pot.

Diced abalone, diced sea cucumber, diced camel tendon... all the auxiliary ingredients were added to the dance of rice grains and rolled together in the pot.

After about 13.2857385 seconds, Li Yi sprinkled the remaining green onion leaves into the pot.

One, two, three.

After three times of flipping the pot, he closed the valve and put down the wok.

All the rice fell into the pot. When heated at the bottom of the pot, the rice grains below were still beating from time to time, as if they were still being stir-fried.

Li Yi leaned over and took out a golden rice bowl from the cupboard below, and placed it on the desk.

The inner wall of this golden rice bowl is full of pure gold color, which can be seen by people.

Its outer abdomen is full of blue-bottomed lotus patterns, with smooth glaze, which is integrated with the bowl body.

At the mouth of the bowl, it has a circle of Kuilong patterns embedded with golden wire. The four golden characters Wanshou Wujiang, also embedded with golden wire, are arranged on the front, back, left and right sides of the belly of the bowl, which looks very grand.

Putting the golden bowl on the tray, Li Yi picked up the wok again and used the method of stirring the fried rice.

He held the fried spoon in his other hand and placed it at the bottom of the pot.

When the fried rice fell, it just fell into the fried spoon.

After receiving a spoonful of fried rice, he turned his hand and put the fried rice into the large golden rice bowl.

His movements seemed to be fast, but they were as steady as Mount Tai. The fried spoon did not even touch the rice bowl. Just shook the air and the fried rice fell into the bowl.

The round fried spoon makes the fried rice form a round curved surface, which looks very beautiful.

Then, Li Yi took out a golden spoon with jade handle, a pair of chopsticks with the same gold inlaid jade, as well as a spoon holder and chopstick holder, and placed it on the tray.

He picked up the tray and came to the small dining table slowly and placed the spoon holder, chopstick holder, golden spoon, jade chopstick, and a bowl of fragrant fried rice in front of Lao Tang one by one.

"Supreme Emperor fried rice, please taste it."

After saying that, he didn't stop at all, and went back to the back of the snack cart and washed the pot and spoon.

As a classic meal, no matter when, the kitchen utensils must be clean. This is the most basic quality.

At the small dining table, Lao Tang subconsciously swallowed the fried rice with a lingering heat and a scent of extreme fragrance.

The onlookers around also stretched their necks and looked at him expectantly, wanting to know how this bowl of rice tastes.

Old Tang looked up at the camera guy and signaled: "Come on! Eat the camera first, take a close-up first!"

The camera guy couldn't wait and immediately pushed the camera in front of the bowl.

The assistant also called the fill light board and illuminated the surroundings.

The cameraman exclaimed while taking pictures: "Damn it! It looks so good! It's so good at any photo! It's so attractive!"
