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

"That's right, it's indeed me." Li Yi nodded sincerely.

The white-haired old man was amused by his serious look, and then patted his arm and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, our traditional skills must be carried forward by young people like you in order to be passed on!"

"I think so too."

Li Yi smiled and said: "So I am considering whether we can cooperate with some universities to open some majors and cultivate a group of professional talents to inherit these traditional crafts."

Hearing Li Yi's words, the white-haired old man's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! You should support it!"

With that said, he turned back to the middle-aged man and said: "Director Geng, please contact the education department to help find a few reliable universities and ask Xiao Li to check them out.

Whether it is brocade or cloisonné, they are the essence of our traditional culture. We must find ways to pass them on. This is our responsibility and it is our duty to do so! "

The middle-aged man on the side heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it later."

"good."

The white-haired old man nodded, then turned back to Li Yi and said: "Xiao Li, after I have been busy for these two days, I have to have a good chat with you. You are indeed very capable. I have to let you make full use of your talents. !”

After that, he smiled and patted Li Yi on the shoulder, and entered the venue together with the greetings of the leaders.

Watching them enter the venue, Li Yi turned around and waved to the staff waiting not far away.

Just as he was chatting here, the staff came back with a tray.

But seeing him talking with the leaders, he didn't come to disturb him and just waited aside.

Seeing Li Yi waving, he came over with a tray.

"What's there to eat?"

Li Yi looked at the tray in the staff's hands with interest.

"Some cake pastries and duck fat pancakes."

The staff opened the lid and said with a smile: "The duck fat pancakes were freshly baked. They were originally left for lunch, but later the chef heard that you wanted to eat them, so he specially brought some for you to try. taste."

There is a plate on the tray, and there are all kinds of snacks on the plate, duck fat cake, plum blossom cake, thousand-layer cake, roll cake, wishful cake, two-color cake, green rice cake, water chestnut cake, bean paste rice cake, everything you want , colorful and very beautiful.

"Not bad, small and exquisite, with good shape."

Li Yi picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and looked at it.

Plum blossom cake is the most famous pastry in Jinling. It is made in a special pot full of plum blossom-shaped grooves. It is a bit like the pot for egg burgers or octopus balls, but the grooves are shaped like plum blossoms.

Its outer layer is glutinous rice paste, and the inner layer is filled with date paste, bean paste, purple sweet potato, rose and other fillings, and the top is filled with small dumplings, red dates, raisins, green and red silk and other ingredients.

After being cooked, it not only looks colorful and beautiful, but also tastes very soft and sweet, making it very popular among Jinling people.

However, the plum blossom cake made by the catering chef of this conference was obviously made with a separate special mold. It was not as big as the ordinary street plum blossom cake, but only the size of a chess piece.

Moreover, the small dumplings and red dates on the top are just right. They do not appear top-heavy, but are very regular and more beautiful.

This is understandable, after all, it is an international conference, and these snacks must be made more beautiful.

After looking at it, Li Yi picked up the plum blossom cake and took a bite.

With one bite, the thin outer layer of glutinous rice skin bursts open, and the inner layer of bean paste filling pours out.

Chewing the sweetness in his mouth, Li Yi nodded.

The quality of this plum blossom cake is quite good, the skin is very thin, the fillings are full, and the sweetness is not too high.

The only drawback is that the crust was not baked for enough time to achieve a crispy texture.

However, considering that the kitchen has to deal with so many guests and also take care of the luncheon, it is definitely not possible to be perfect. It is already good to be able to do this.

"It tastes okay."

Li Yi stuffed the remaining plum blossom cake into his mouth, chewed it, and nodded with satisfaction.

The size of this plum blossom cake is just right, so you won’t feel too much burden after eating it in a few bites.

The staff looked on and reminded with a smile: "Brother Yi, you should eat the duck fat pancake first! It will be fishy after it cools down."

"It can't be cool. I'll take care of them all in a while."

Li Yi made a joke, took out the dessert plate from the tray, and said with a smile: "Thank you, go ahead and do your work. I'll go in and take a look first."

He is a special adviser and has a place in it.

Carrying the snack tray into the venue, Li Yi walked around casually. The venue was almost full with representatives from various countries who came to attend the meeting.

Around the venue, reporters from various countries also set up cameras and prepared for filming.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't rush to find his seat, but just found an empty seat in the back row and started eating with the snack plate.

The time before the start of the conference was not very productive. All the representatives were chatting and the reporters had nothing to take pictures of. They were all waiting for the conference to start.

In order to debug the equipment, some reporters will take a few photos to see the effect.

While filming, many reporters' attention was attracted by Li Yi in the last row.

In the entire venue, he was the only one eating, which made him stand out from the crowd.

Moreover, the snacks on his plate are colorful and various, which look very conspicuous.

The most important thing is that he is not tense like others at all. Instead, he is eating delicious food and immersing himself in the world of delicious food alone.

Seeing this scene, many foreign reporters turned their cameras and took several photos of him.

Li Yi didn't take it seriously. He just tasted the pastries and analyzed the pastry chef's methods.

However, what he didn't know was that photos of him eating pastries had been conveniently posted to their respective media accounts by many reporters.

The media that can participate in the conference are all mainstream media from various countries, and the number of fans is not low.

Soon, many foreign netizens saw the photos published by the concerned media.

For ordinary people, world heritage sites are relatively far away from them and are of little interest.

But every fan has a soul in his heart. When they saw the photo of Li Yi eating pastries, many netizens were greedy and left comments under relevant reports.

"What is he eating? It looks delicious."

"This is who I am, I will never give up eating at any time."

"It should be some dim sum. I went to Chinatown to eat it once and it was very delicious."

"I think donuts are better."

As these comments increased and relevant reports were seen by more people, some Chinese on foreign online platforms discovered Li Yi in these reports and photos, and reposted the relevant information back to China.

Ever since, when the opening ceremony was halfway through, Li Yi received a screenshot from Liu Yifei.

"Why are you on the trending search again?"

Li Yi was a little confused when he saw the message. He opened Weibo and found that he was indeed on the hot search again, following topics related to the World Heritage Conference.

Under the hot search, many netizens are commenting.

"Eh? Why was Brother Yi reported by foreign media? Where is this?"

"Brother Yi went abroad to enjoy the cake!"

Looking at this information, Li Yi was confused.

What's going on? He just had something to eat, why did he get so angry for no reason?
