Chapter 59 Almond Tofu
Author: Round head and round belly
"Is it hot?"
Li Yi looked at Liu Yifei, who was holding her temples with her hands, and asked with a smile.
Seeing him teasing himself, Liu Yifei raised her head with a stubborn mouth: "Not spicy! Hiss..."
Before she could finish her words, she exposed herself.
“Is it that spicy?”
Wu Kaiyuan curiously picked up a clam and tasted it, and immediately took a cold air.
"This chili is so strong!"
He hissed and took a sip of tea.
But the tea was still a little hot, and under the stimulation of the hot tea, his face immediately squeezed together.
This taste is so sour!
"Spicy, of course it's so exciting."
Li Yi called the waiter and asked her to go to the kitchen to bring the prepared almond tofu over.
Shabu-shabu spicy is a variant of wild millet spicy. It is the spicyest chili pepper in China, no doubt about it.
As the name suggests, its spicyness is too high. Just put it in water and rinse it in the soup and it will be extremely spicy.
It is produced in Dehong area of Yun Province, and elephants often appear in the local area.
It is said that when an elephant accidentally touches this pepper with her nose, it will be in unbearable pain and runs wildly with her nose.
Therefore, this kind of chili is also called elephant trunk spicy by the locals.
The unit that measures spicyness internationally is Scoville, which is the amount of capsaicin contained in the unit sample.
The Devil Pepper in India is the hottest chili pepper in the world, with Scoville units exceeding one million.
Shabu-shabu spicy followed closely, with Scoville unit of 440,000.
I used such spicy chili to cook, and I knew it would definitely be spicy when I thought about it.
That's why Li Yi made a portion of almond tofu before fried rice.
The stimulation of natural capsaicin to the human body increases in a curve.
It is often not obvious at the beginning, but the most unbearable thing is when the momentum comes up.
Liu Yifei could no longer hold back, and tears even began to rise in the corners of her eyes.
She regretted being strong and insisted on ordering the perverted spicy hot stir-fried clams.
At this time, the waiter came over with a tray and took down exquisite small bowls from the tray.
The bowl contains milky white objects that look like liquid, but do not flow.
It looks like tofu, but it is much more delicate than tofu.
It was more like jelly, shaking gently as the waiter took it.
Seeing that Liu Yifei was so spicy that tears came out, Li Yi pointed to the small bowl and signaled: "This is almond tofu, if you eat a bowl, it won't be spicy."
Liu Yifei could not care too much at this moment. When she heard Li Yi's words, she pulled over a small bowl, scooped up a piece with a spoon, and put it into her mouth.
The smooth and tender texture of the jelly made the piece of almond tofu slip through her mouth without any hindrance, and then it was crushed by her tongue and swallowed into her abdomen.
And in the area where the "jelly" slid past, the scorching and stinging pungentness seemed to have been relieved a lot.
Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, but hurriedly dug another piece of almond tofu and put it into her mouth.
This time, after the spicy taste dissipated a little, she also tasted the taste of this piece of almond tofu.
It has a tender and smooth texture with a strong milky and almond aroma.
Because it has been frozen in the freezer, its temperature is a little cool, but it has not reached the point of freezing.
This makes its taste look like a green tongue ice cream after thawing, cool, sweet, and very sweet.
"This is delicious!"
Liu Yifei was amazed.
Although Li Yi's water fried rice is also delicious, it is not as amazing as this almond tofu.
This almond tofu is particularly suitable for her appetite.
Li Yi’s almond tofu is made on the head and each person has one.
Zhao Jinmai brought a portion, dug a piece with a spoon, put it into his mouth, but exclaimed.
"Brother Yi? Is this almond tofu?"
She asked in confusion: "But I taste milk?"
Wu Lei interrupted and replied: "The main ingredients of almond tofu are almonds and milk."
Li Yi ignored it and asked Liu Yifei: "Is it still hot?"
This time, Liu Yifei nodded honestly: "It's really not hot this time."
Then, she asked curiously: "This almond tofu is so magical! It won't be spicy if you eat it! Why?"
Li Yi explained slowly: "This is a Taoist dessert, and it is available at the Manchu and Han banquet.
In the old way, it does not add milk, and the main ingredient it uses is almonds.
Almonds have the effects of relieving cough, relieving asthma and analgesic. Although they also have certain effects on stopping spicy food, they are still not as good as milk.
Casein in milk is a very good emulsifier. It can wrap capsaicin and prevent capsaicin from contacting the body's gastrointestinal mucosa, thereby avoiding the harm of capsaicin to the human body and achieving the purpose of relieving spicy food."
"So that's what it is..."
Liu Yifei nodded ignorantly, but followed her and suddenly thought of something.
It took time to make this, but as soon as she got spicy, the almond tofu was served.
This shows that Li Yi had known for a long time that she would be hot.
She suddenly recalled that when she was hot before, Li Yi's expression was a bit strange.
He probably guessed that at that time, she would be so hot, right?
This guy is so bad, why don’t you remind her?
After thinking about it, she remembered again that Wu Kaiyuan had already advised her at that time, but she seemed very excited at that time and insisted on being perverted and spicy.
So, he knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he made almond tofu in advance to relieve her spicy food...
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei looked at Li Yi and suddenly said, "Thank you!"
Li Yi was slightly stunned, then waved his hand disregardlessly: "You're welcome, it's a good thing."
After seeing the power of perverted spicy stir-fried clams, no one dared to try it again.
Everyone had almost finished their meals. After a while, they got up and packed up and prepared to leave.
We have to continue working tomorrow, and the program crew still has a lot of things to be busy with.
However, the filming is not turned on for the time being, and artists have free time.
Wu Lei was full of energy and jumped and asked, "Who will get up early tomorrow morning to run? I will provide free wake-up service."
"I can't get up." Liu Yifei knew herself very well.
Zhao Jinmai also shook his head: "I want to read the script, and maybe I don't have time."
"Not energetic."
Wu Lei complained in disappointment, then turned to Li Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, where are you? Do you want to get up early and run?"
"OK!"
Li Yi nodded.
But he added: "Remember to wear dirty clothes and follow me to the farmers' market after running."
"Really? Yes!"
Wu Lei agreed excitedly: "I have been to the farmers' market, and it's so fun inside! There are everything!"
After hearing Li Yi's words, Zhao Jinmai suddenly spoke and said, "I want to go too."
"Don't you want to read the script?" Wu Lei came over and joked with a chuckle.
"I suddenly remembered that someone said that the combination of work and rest is more efficient."
"Tsk! Just talk about it if you want to play, and you will combine work and rest..."
"I deserve a beating again, right?"
Listening to their playfulness, Li Yi was recalling the raw materials needed for the tofu feast.
This time he returned to reality, he also took on a mission.
His mission is to replicate the complete tofu feast so that the queen can burp.
