Chapter 59: Almond Tofu

"It's spicy, isn't it?"

Li Yi looked at Liu Yifei, who was holding his temples, and asked with a smile.

Seeing him teasing himself, Liu Yifei raised her head stiffly: "It's not spicy!" Hiss..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she exposed herself.

"Is it that spicy?"

Wu Kaiyuan curiously picked up a clam and tasted it, and immediately inhaled cool air.

"This pepper is strong enough!"

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 suddenly squeezed together.

This tastes so sour!

"Shabu Shabu, of course it's strong enough."

Li Yi called the waiter and asked her to go to the kitchen and bring the finished almond tofu.

Shabu-shabu is a variant of wild millet spicy, and it is one of the hottest chili peppers in the country.

As the name suggests, it is so spicy that just put it in the water and dip it in the soup, it is already incredibly spicy.

It is produced in the Dehong region of Yun Province, where elephants are often seen.

It is said that when an elephant accidentally touches this chili pepper with its trunk, it will run away in pain and run wildly with its nose.

So this pepper is also known as elephant trunk spicy by the locals.

The international unit of measurement of spiciness is Scoville, which is the amount of capsaicin contained in a unit sample.

India's devil pepper is the hottest pepper in the world, with more than a million Scoville units.

Shabu Shabu followed closely behind, ranking second with 440,000 Scoville units.

If you use such a spicy chili pepper to cook, you know that it will definitely be spicy if you think about it with your feet.

That's why Li Yi made an almond tofu before frying rice.

The stimulation of natural capsaicin to the human body is curved upward.

It's often not obvious at first, but when the stamina comes up, it's the hardest to bear.

Liu Yifei was already a little nervous, and even tears began to bloom in the corners of her eyes.

She regretted a little that she was reckless, and she didn't order the perverted and spicy spicy fried clams.

At this time, the waiter came over with a tray and took down the delicate small bowls from the tray.

The bowl contained a milky white object that looked like a liquid, but it didn't run.

It looks like tofu, but it's much more delicate than tofu.

It's more like jelly, fluttering gently as the waiter takes it down.

Seeing that Liu Yifei was so spicy that tears came out, Li Yi pointed to the small bowl and signaled: "This is almond tofu, eat a bowl, it won't be spicy." ”

Liu Yifei couldn't take care of it too much at the moment, and when she heard Li Yi's words, she pulled a small bowl over, scooped up a piece with a spoon, and put it in her mouth.

The jelly-like texture allowed the piece of almond tofu to slide through her mouth without hindrance, and then it was crushed by her tongue and swallowed into her stomach.

And in the area where this "jelly" slipped through, the scorching and stinging pungency seemed to have been really relieved a lot.

Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, but hurriedly dug up another piece of almond tofu and put it in his mouth.

This time, after the spiciness had subsided a bit, she also tasted the taste of this piece of almond tofu.

It has a tender taste with a rich aroma of milk and almonds.

Because it was frozen in the freezer, it was a little cold, but not to the point of freezing.

This makes it taste like a thawed green tongue ice cream, cool, sweet, and very sweet.

"This one is delicious!"

Liu Yifei exclaimed.

Although Li Yi's water fried rice is also delicious, it is not as amazing as this almond tofu.

This almond tofu is especially to her liking.

Li Yi's almond tofu is made by the head, and each person has a serving.

Zhao Jinmai took a copy, dug a piece with a spoon, and put it in his mouth, but sighed.

"Brother Yi? Is this almond tofu? ”

She was puzzled and asked, "But I taste like milk?" ”

When Wu Lei heard this, he interjected and replied: "The main ingredients of almond tofu are almonds and milk. ”

Li Yi was noncommittal, and asked Liu Yifei: "Is it still spicy?" ”

This time, Liu Yifei nodded honestly: "It's really not spicy this time." ”

Then, she asked curiously: "This almond tofu is amazing!" If you really eat it, it's not spicy! Why? ”

Li Yi explained unhurriedly: "This is an old dessert, and it is available on the Manchu and Han banquets."

In the old practice, it does not add milk, and the main ingredient it uses is almonds.

Almonds have cough suppressant, asthmatic, and analgesic effects, although they also have a certain effect on spicy, but they are still inferior to milk.

The casein in milk is a very good emulsifier, which can encapsulate and keep capsaicin from coming into contact with the gastrointestinal mucosa of the body, so as to avoid the harm of capsaicin to the human body and achieve the purpose of relieving spiciness. ”

"That's ...... so"

Liu Yifei nodded ignorantly, but then she suddenly thought of something.

It takes time to do this, but as soon as it was spicy on her side, the almond tofu was served.

This shows that Li Yi has long known that she will be spicy.

She suddenly recalled that when she was ordering hot spicy before, Li Yi's expression was a little strange.

He guessed that at that time, he had already guessed that she would be spicy, right?

This guy is so bad, why don't you remind her?

After thinking about it, she remembered again that Wu Kaiyuan had already persuaded her at that time, but she herself seemed to be in high spirits at that time and insisted on being perverted.

Therefore, he knew that he couldn't persuade himself, so he made almond tofu for her in advance...

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei looked at Li Yi and suddenly said, "Thank you!" ”

Li Yi was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand disappreciatively: "You're welcome, it's a good thing." ”

After seeing the power of the perverted spicy fried clams, no one dared to try it again.

Everyone had already eaten, and after a short rest, they got up and packed up and prepared to leave.

I have to continue to work tomorrow, and the program crew still has a lot of things to do.

However, if it is not turned on for the time being, the time of the artists is free.

Wu Lei was full of energy, jumping and jumping along the way, while asking, "Who is going to get up early tomorrow morning to run?" I offer a free wake-up service. ”

"I can't get up." Liu Yifei knows herself very well.

Zhao Jinmai also shook his head: "I want to read the script, and I may not have time." ”

"It's boring."

Wu Lei complained stupidly, then turned to Li Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, what about you?" Do you want to wake up early for a run? ”

"Okay!"

Li Yi nodded.

But then he added: "Remember to wear dirt-resistant clothes, and follow me to the farmer's market after running." ”

"Really? Yes! ”

Wu Lei excitedly agreed: "I've been to the farmers' market, it's fun inside!" Everything! ”

After hearing Li Yi's words, Zhao Jinmai suddenly interjected: "I want to go too." ”

"Aren't you going to read the script?" Wu Lei came over and laughed and teased.

"It occurred to me that someone said that it is more efficient to combine work and rest."

"Cut! If you want to play, just say it, and combine work and rest..."

"Beat up again, didn't you?"

Listening to them frolicking, Li Yi was recalling the raw materials needed for the tofu feast in his mind.

He returned to reality this time, and he also came with a mission.

His task is to reproduce a complete tofu feast so that the queen mother can eat hiccups.
