Chapter 3: Such a big abalone, used to make fried rice?
"It smells so good!"
"So this is the Buddha jumping over the wall? No wonder it's so expensive, it's really delicious. ”
The surrounding audience was talking curiously, and they all looked at the jar in front of Li Yi curiously.
The audience in the live broadcast room could also see the expressions of the onlookers, and several barrages quickly floated by.
"Is this asking for childcare?"
"The acting is too fake."
"I don't believe it's such an exaggeration just by smelling it."
"Old Tang said okay, it should still be a bit technical, right?"
"Old Tang won't take money?"
"It's really not, if he collects money, he will smash his own signboard, and the IP of tens of millions of fans on the Internet will cost millions of dollars a month just for advertising, and he can't smash his own signboard for that money."
Li Yi didn't have time to watch the barrage in the live broadcast room, and the mouth of the altar couldn't be opened for too long, otherwise the smell would volatilize a lot.
He quickly picked up a bamboo colander and put it into the jar, and after a few scoops, he fished out a fat abalone the size of a bowl.
The abalone is covered in maroon broth.
The soup is thick, as if it has been hooked.
But Old Tang only took a look and knew that it was the gum that had been boiled for a long time.
"What a big abalone!"
The cameraman and assistant were shocked.
They have also photographed a lot of restaurants with Lao Tang, and they have also photographed many Michelin-level high-end restaurants, and those restaurants have also served abalone.
But this is the first time they have seen such a large abalone.
"Oh no, this one is really bad!"
Old Tang's eyes were about to pop out: "With such a big abalone, the market price must be 10,000, right?" ”
Seeing this abalone, the audience in the live broadcast room was also surprised.
"! Is this abalone real? It can't be a model, right? ”
"I've never seen abalone this big in my life!"
With the appearance of big abalone, the number of people in the live broadcast room also skyrocketed, and soon came to 3,000 people.
Li Yi didn't stop the movements in his hand, he spooned one after another, and soon fished out a bunch of top-grade ingredients.
The sea cucumber with the length of a cola bottle and the soft and glutinous camel tendons, as if they didn't need money, were all fished out by him.
As he flipped it, the flavor of the fresh fragrance became a little stronger, enveloping the entire alley.
For a moment, the grunt of swallowing saliva was everywhere.
A ridiculous idea popped into everyone's minds.
If you use so many top-quality ingredients to make a fried rice and sell it for 10,000 yuan a piece, it doesn't seem to be expensive!
After taking out the same top-quality ingredients, Li Yi began to deal with them.
He took out a kitchen knife, gently pressed the fat abalone with his right hand, cut off the skirts of the front, back, left and right, and threw it back into the jar.
The top and bottom were also cut, leaving only the softest and sweetest heart.
Then he threw the skirt back into the jar and discarded it.
Cut the abalone into slices 3 mm wide, then cut into strips and dice.
Seeing this scene, Lao Tang almost didn't jump up: "Such a good abalone, you just cut it into cubes?" ”
Li Yi kept in his hand and glanced at him: "How to make fried rice without dicing?" ”
"I ......"
Old Tang almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood: "Such a good abalone, it's enough to eat it directly!" Used to make fried rice? It's too wasteful, right? ”
The audience in the live broadcast room also thought so.
"My mother! Such a big abalone, but it still needs to be trimmed? ”
"Can you deliver the leftovers that you don't want to cut?"
"The abacus upstairs is playing, and Lu Province has heard it."
"This kind of leftovers can be sold for 1,800 casually, right?"
"! I can't even afford to eat leftovers? ”
"A bowl of fried rice, but dozens of kinds of seafood to accompany it, I have seen it for a long time."
Under the watchful eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room, Li Yi also cut the sea cucumber and hoof tendons into small dices.
"What a knife worker!"
Old Tang was still distressed about the abalone, but after seeing Li Yi's knife work, he couldn't help but admire.
The assistant chimed in: "It's so fast." ”
"The main thing is not fast, it's cutting evenly."
Old Tang explained: "If you look carefully, all the ingredients he cut, the size of each ingredient is almost the same.
The hardest part is the hoof tendons, which have to be stewed until soft to be delicious, but if they are stewed too soft, they won't be good at dicing, so they have to be stewed just right.
In this way, you can cut it into cubes while still retaining the texture of the ingredients. ”
Listening to his explanation, the surrounding audience was unconscious, and they also praised it repeatedly.
To see such a good knife work, it is worth the trip.
Soon, Li Yi cut the diced seafood.
He took out four eggs from the fridge, took out another bowl, cracked them one by one, separated the whites, and put the yolks in the rice drawer.
The four egg yolks are crystal clear, showing a gold-like color, which is very beautiful.
It took Li Yi a lot of effort to buy these eggs.
It's not that it's precious, it's purely because he has a high demand for freshness.
In such an industrialized society, the eggs that can be bought on the market are basically wholesaled in bulk from the farm.
After logistics and transportation, market distribution and sales, it generally takes at least two or three days to reach the hands of customers.
But what Li Yi wants is eggs, which must be on the same day, not overnight.
He went to several farmer's markets but couldn't get one, and finally got some from a grandmother who was selling eggs in wicker baskets on the side of the road.
Every day for a week, he would go to the grandmother to buy the freshest eggs.
Of course, the price was also given for ten yuan a piece.
However, compared to other ingredients, this egg is already very cheap.
Wearing disposable gloves, Li Yi tossed the egg yolk with rice.
He mixes it very carefully, and every grain of rice is kneaded apart, leaving no lumps.
Eventually, he tossed all the rice grains into a golden brown like egg yolks.
In this way, the fried rice will be golden brown, commonly known as gold and silver.
When he tossed the rice, everyone on the lookers swallowed almost at the same time.
When evaluating a piece of food, it is often said that it has a good taste.
The reason why color is put first is because before human beings eat, they first judge whether food can be eaten or not through their vision.
If a piece of food has an attractive appearance, such as a freshly picked strawberry, the leaves are green and there are dew drops.
Another example is a freshly roasted leg of lamb, with the fat on the surface of the roasted to brown.
So from a psychological point of view, people often subconsciously think that it is delicious.
This freshly mixed rice has an attractive and delicious color.
The golden egg wash evenly wraps each grain of rice, no more, no less.
Dotted with orange shrimp roe, like fresh shrimp jumping out of the water in a golden river, people can't help but secrete saliva.
But this is just the raw material, Li Yi has not even started to fry rice, and he has already made the audience around and the netizens in the live broadcast room hungry.
Taking off the disposable gloves, Li Yi put the ingredients in turn, and then put the wok on the stove.
He's finally going to get angry.
Laugh at!
He unscrewed the valve of the gas stove, and the liquefied natural gas suddenly spewed out of the stove.
Li Yi took out a lighter and stretched it into the stove a little.
Rise!
A burst of flames erupted!
The advantage of modern technology is that you can easily have a fierce fire that can be used for stir-frying anytime, anywhere.
In the dream, Li Yi just started the first year of learning art, and he was helping his master pull the bellows.
However, after the fire started, he reached out and adjusted the valve to let the fire go down a little before putting the wok up.
The master's voice seemed to still echo in his ears.
"Xiao Li, do you know why the right side of the fire is a small word?
When frying rice, the more vigorous the fire, the better, if the fire is too strong, it will be easy to paste, and you can't be anxious.
There is also a university question in this fried rice! ”
The wok was already hot, Li Yi gathered his thoughts, picked up the wok, scooped half a spoonful of golden chicken fat in the oil can, and buckled it into the oil pot.
Zila!
The aroma of grease suddenly exploded under the stimulation of firepower, and it was extremely attractive.
Old Tang smelled the smell and couldn't help but nodded: "Stir-fry with chicken fat, there's nothing wrong with it, pay attention to it!" ”
