A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

There are white and tender tofu piled in the clear soup. Just looking at the appearance, Liu Yifei could never have imagined that its taste could be so strong.

The spicy aroma and slightly spicy taste made her think she was eating mapo tofu.

But the refreshing taste without any greasy feeling reminded her that what she was eating was mapo tofu in clear soup, which made her feel a sense of dislocation between impression and reality.

Zhao Jinmai noticed her surprise, scooped up a piece of tofu curiously, and put it into his mouth.

"Eh?"

She too was taken aback by the dislocation of the eyes and mouth.

"This really tastes like mapo tofu!"

Zhao Jinmai was amazed, but also full of curiosity: "How did this happen?"

Another spoon was brought over, and Wu Lei took a sip, and was immediately impressed.

"Wow! So enjoyable!"

He finished eating with one spoonful, then scooped up another spoonful, put it into his mouth, and praised: "I can eat this dish as an indulgent meal, it's delicious, and it's not greasy at all, it's perfect!"

"This prickly ash is really fragrant."

Liu Yifei was tasting the soup.

"I tasted it too."

Wu Lei enjoyed the meal: "No wonder Brother Yi would rather let the program crew send people to buy it locally than buy it in the market. The pepper has a strong taste, but it's also very fragrant, and it's not choking at all."

Hearing his words, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but asked Li Yi: "Brother Yi, why is the peppercorn you bought locally so much more fragrant than ordinary peppercorns?"

"Because I bought fresh first-order products."

Hearing this, Li Yi explained patiently: "Whether it's pepper, star anise, or cumin, the fresher it is, the stronger the taste.

Because the flavor substances in these seasonings will dissipate over time, fresh products are often much more expensive than old ones.

But in fresh goods, there are also grades.

For example, after the peppers are matured and harvested, the first batch of selected peppercorns is called the top product. The grains are particularly full, and each peppercorn is fully opened, and there are no pepper seeds.

The best Zanthoxylum bungeanum is still a few Zanthoxylum bungeanum growing on one petal, just like a plum blossom.

The quality of the second and third batches was slightly inferior.

The prickly ash sold by many merchants in the market is not pure top quality, and is more or less adulterated.

Some are mixed with first-class and second-class goods, and some are mixed with aged peppercorns or soaked peppercorns.

There are also people who mix the oil peppers that have been extracted from the pepper oil in those factories. What's more, the pepper seeds and pepper branches are mixed with peppercorns to make pepper noodles, which is cheaper.

Therefore, I was afraid of trouble, so I simply sent someone to go to the local area to buy pure fresh goods, so as to save me from looking around here and wasting time. "

After listening to his explanation, Zhao Jinmai seemed to have seen the other side of the world, and sighed: "It turns out that there are so many ways in peppercorns."

"Of course, the seasoning industry is still very deep."

While joking, Huang Xiaoming had already calculated the cost.

After calculation, he was surprised to find that although the name and appearance of Li Yi's dishes were very ordinary, the cost was not low at all, even much higher than the cost of the tofu feast.

After sighing for a moment, he put away the pamphlet.

[Ma Po Tofu in Clear Soup] Seeing that there are not a few pieces left, and the [Stir-fried Eggplant Strips] is half eaten.

If he doesn't eat anymore, he really has nothing to eat.

It is delicious to rush to eat. After a while, everyone swept away all the dishes and rice.

There was too much work today, and Li Yi didn't have much time to make staff meals for the staff. Therefore, they could only watch the few people in front of the camera feasting, while they ate the ordinary big box lunch with three meat and two vegetables.

However, after they finished their meal, they could rest behind the camera, but Li Yi and the others had to continue to work.

After packing the dishes and dishes into the dishwasher, everyone started to continue their work in the morning.

By the time the work at hand was done, it was already late at night.

After a busy day, Master Li lifted the lid of the soup bucket that had been simmering for a whole day. The bucket full of water that was poured in in the morning had turned into a small half bucket of broth.

A bowl of fragrant broth is the best comfort for everyone.

Different from vegetarian broth, the meat broth cooked with old hen, whole duck, big bone, ham and other ingredients is irresistible for all meat lovers.

When Li Yi lifted the lid, exclamations and swallowing sounds echoed throughout the restaurant.

The staff looked at the artist in front of the camera, envious, and couldn't help whispering.

"It smells so good! It smells even better than vegetarian broth!"

"It must be delicious."

"I really want to try it!"

"Don't even think about it, this is the broth that we are going to try tomorrow. With so many of us, if we try all of them, why don't we finish it?"

"Drink next to the artist! The effect of the show is important."

"I looked at Meituan yesterday, and there seems to be a Cantonese-style soup restaurant near the hotel. I'll order some when I go back to the hotel."

Just when the staff thought that the broth could only be smelled this time, Li Yi greeted them: "Come and help me get the flavor and see if there is anything missing, so I can make adjustments."

Hearing Li Yi's greeting, the staff were stunned for a moment before they realized it. They immediately cheered and rushed to Li Yi.

"Hand it yourself! Be careful it's hot."

Li Yi helped them serve the soup, and reminded: "Each person only has half a bowl, if you spill it, it will be gone."

"Thank you Brother Yi!"

"Long live Brother Yi!"

The staff cheered happily.

Looking at the jubilant and extremely lively kitchen, the audience in the live broadcast room were also envious.

But what they are envious of is not only the soup, but also the joyful atmosphere.

"That's great! It feels like our company having dinner together after working overtime. It's fun."

"Brother Yi is really nice. In other programs, how could the staff get such good soup?"

"Actually, after watching the live broadcast for a few days, the family portrait before the broadcast every day is my favorite, and it feels very real."

"These post-production staff are also working hard, thanks to Brother Yi who still thinks about them!"

"I am also willing to work overtime to record programs in such a program group, so happy!"

Wang Tian also came to the show and shared a bowl of soup.

Holding the soup and blowing on the hot air, she said to Li Yi: "A reporter contacted me and wanted to interview you."

"Why are you interviewing me?"

Li Yi was not interested in the interview.

"Do you still remember the yellow sprout cabbage manufacturer you mentioned on the show yesterday?"

Wang Tian explained: "I arranged for someone to contact him, and then during the live broadcast today, I put his contact information on the public screen. As a result, he sold out directly, and all the production capacity until the end of the year has been booked, and now There are still many people looking for him to order.

The local media thought this was a successful case of helping farmers, so they wanted to do an exclusive interview with you. "

Li Yi was a little surprised: "I just said that, so many people asked him to buy cabbage?"

"Do you think your influence is still small now?"

Wang Tian laughed and said, "You say a word on the show, it's more effective than spending money on advertisements on many TV stations!"

After learning the reason for the interview, Li Yi thought about it, and did not refuse again.

It is a good thing to help farmers, and it is also a meritorious deed if it can help local farmers increase their income.

However, this media is not here to lobby him to be the spokesperson of cabbage, right?
