Chapter 69: Oily Bean Skin and Bean Skin

"Wow! It smells so good! ”

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Jinmai ran to the pot and looked at a large pot full of soy milk in amazement.

"Taste it."

Li Yi scooped out a bowl and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

Zhao Jinmai took the bowl.

Wu Lei stretched his neck: "Don't you thank you, Brother Lei?" I grinded all morning before I had your soy milk to drink. ”

"Well, thank you Brother Lei, Brother Lei has worked hard!"

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but smile and said, then looked left and right, and asked, "Is there sugar?" ”

Li Yi heard the words and asked, "What do you want candy for?" ”

"You have to put sugar in soy milk!"

Zhao Jinmai explained: "I like to drink something sweeter. ”

Hearing her words, without waiting for Li Yi to explain, Wu Lei said bitterly: "Silly girl, putting sugar is really a waste of such delicious soy milk!" You drink it directly! This soy milk is so fragrant and sweet, there is no need to put sugar at all! ”

"Really?"

Zhao Jinmai picked up the bowl suspiciously, took a sip carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Wow! It's really fragrant! And a little sweet! ”

Li Yi explained: "It is the sweetness of carbs, which is much softer than the sweetness of sucrose. ”

"What about mine? What about mine? ”

Liu Yifei urged on the side.

"Yours are indispensable."

Li Yi smiled and scooped out a bowl and handed it to her.

Liu Yifei took the bowl and tasted it lightly, but her eyes lit up, she didn't care about saying more, she just gave Li Yi a thumbs up, and drank it in small sips.

Watching them drink sweetly one by one, the live broadcast room of the show has been swiped by the drooling barrage.

"Ahh I want to drink it too! ”

"[drooling] [drooling] [drooling] [drooling] [drooling]"

"It's decided, tomorrow morning soy milk refueling strips, I want to drink two bowls!"

"This fresh soy milk is the best! Damn! I'm drooling! ”

"Is it really not fishy without sugar?"

"Fresh beans are really not fishy at all, and we use fresh beans to make bean curd here, otherwise it will smell fishy."

Li Yi turned off the fire, looked out of the door, and asked, "Where is the store manager?" ”

"I'm out, I think I'm putting up signs."

Wu Lei explained while drinking.

When Li Yi heard this, he scooped out a bowl and put it aside, as a leave for Huang Xiaoming.

Then, he found a pack of paper cups, scooped some out, and motioned to Wu Lei: "Give it to everyone and let everyone taste it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a cup and handed it to Master Cai, the PD who followed him: "Brother Cai, you taste it." ”

Good things to share, how can it be possible for so many staff members to watch them all?

Wu Lei raised his head and drank the soy milk in the bowl, and then followed Li Yi to distribute the soy milk to the staff at the scene.

Seeing the staff drinking soy milk, their faces were full of amazement, and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but admire.

"This Li Yiren is quite good, and he didn't forget to feed some to the staff."

"I want to drink it too! Is it too late to apply for a job at Mango Terrace? ”

asked Wu Lei to distribute it to the rest of the staff, and Li Yi returned to the cauldron and looked at the soy milk in the pot.

He had just turned off the heat, and the soy milk in the pot had stopped boiling.

The surface of the soy milk gradually cools, and a golden yellow film is formed.

Seeing this, Li Yi took a few clean bamboo strips and built a shelf.

Then, he used a bamboo stick to insert it into the soy milk along the edge of the pot, and with a slight pick, he picked up the membrane.

"Huh?"

Liu Yifei noticed this, came to the front with a bowl, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

"Some places call it oil bean skin, and some places call it tofu clothes."

Li Yi explained casually, and then picked up the peel of the bean skin, making it into a strip rolled together, and put it on the bamboo shelf: "After drying it in this way, it will become hard and will become yuba." ”

"Huh? That's how yuba is made? ”

Zhao Jinmai came to the front in surprise and looked at Li Yi's movements curiously: "I thought it was made by modern people with machines!" ”

Li Yi smiled and explained: "Yuba has a history of more than 1,000 years, and it appeared during the Tang Dynasty, but it was not called this name at that time.

In the Ming Dynasty's "Compendium of Materia Medica", it was named tofu bark, and later it was also called yuba because it looked like a branch of bamboo. ”

While speaking, another layer of bean skin condensed in the pot, and Li Yi directly reached out and pinched it, and directly lifted the bean skin out of the pot.

"Oops!"

Zhao Jinmai was startled and asked in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of being hot?" ”

"Fortunately, the soy milk is not boiling now, and the surface is only more than 70 degrees, as long as the speed is fast enough, it will not be too hot."

Li Yi said, and put the bean skin on the shelf.

Liu Yifei watched him keep peeling the bean skin from the pot, and asked curiously: "Do you want to make tofu or tofu skin?" ”

"Both of these are in one pot."

Li Yi explained: "Soybean skin is an oil film formed by the condensation of natural fats in soy milk, and it is necessary to extract these natural fats so that the remaining soybean milk is more likely to clump. ”

"I see."

Liu Yifei nodded as if she didn't understand.

Zhao Jinmai, who was on the side, asked again: "Then the dried tofu we usually eat, is it also uncovered from the pot like this?" ”

"Not really."

Li Yi explained: "This is oil bean skin, dried tofu is bean skin, these two are not the same thing.

Oily bean skin is oil, which is curled from boiled soy milk, just like the milk skin in milk.

The tofu skin is tofu, which is similar to the method of tofu, it is all pressed, but it is pressed very thinly. ”

"Well, I like to eat anyway."

Zhao Jinmai stuck out his tongue and asked with a smile: "Do you want to make tofu skin this time?" ”

"Done."

Li Yi nodded: "I want to make vegetarian chicken, vegetarian beef, and vegetarian ham, all of which have to be made with tofu skin." ”

"Is the meat still vegan?"

Zhao Jinmai was stunned.

"Yes."

Liu Yifei explained: "In some temples, some vegetarian dishes are made, including vegetarian chicken, vegetarian meat and other dishes, but they are all made with tofu. ”

"That's it!"

Zhao Jinmai nodded, and then complained: "Since they are all vegetarians, why do you have to make it look like meat?" Isn't that redundant? ”

"It's called imitation meat dishes."

Li Yi explained while picking up the bean skin: "During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism began to be introduced to China. At that time, Buddhism strongly advocated the practice of asceticism and advocated a vegetarian diet for Buddhists, but it was not popularized, and even monks could eat meat at that time.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang of the Southern Dynasty promulgated the "Text on Breaking Wine and Meat" because of his belief in Buddhism, advocating that Buddhists should be vegetarian and stipulating that monks must strictly enforce it.

So since then, all the monks in the country have been vegetarians.

However, there is a requirement in the "Broken Wine and Meat Text" that all the three animals used for sacrifice must be changed to vegetarian.

The common people had no choice, the sacrifice could not use real meat, and they had to ensure that the three animals could maintain their original form, so they tried to use soy products to make the appearance of meat, and then gradually evolved into imitation meat dishes. ”

Liu Yifei listened curiously: "Can imitation meat dishes make the taste of real meat?" ”

Li Yi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Of course you can, any meat dish you can think of can be made into an imitation meat version, ensuring that you can't tell the real from the fake." ”
