Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Menu
Wu Lei finally realized his disadvantage in IQ, and gladly accepted it, and began to grind soy milk hard.
Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai have a soft spot for delicious and refreshing tofu mixed with shallots, and they quickly swept it away, leaving not even a piece of tofu left.
And Huang Xiaoming pulled Li Yi and discussed the menu to be determined when the official business opened.
"We're really going to open for business, so in terms of dishes, you can set it!"
Huang Xiaoming took out a pen and paper and asked Li Yi, "Can you make beef noodles?" ”
He still remembers the beef noodles he ate that day.
"Forget about beef noodles."
Li Yi shook his head and vetoed: "In the first issue, I plan to use tofu imitation meat as the theme, so the dishes can't be fishy."
And the beef noodles are too troublesome to make, so let's put them after the second issue! ”
"Oh, forget it."
Huang Xiaoming was a little disappointed and crossed out the name of the beef noodles from the paper.
"The main dish is the soy sauce fried rice made today! The ingredients are ready, just fry them directly. ”
Li Yi first finalized the staple food.
"Okay, soy sauce fried rice is also delicious."
Huang Xiaoming nodded and wrote the name of the soy sauce fried rice on the paper.
"As for the dishes..."
Li Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Let's decide according to the table of the tofu feast!" Four fresh fruits and four dried fruits can be bought every day, what is fresh, what is fresh, cold dishes..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Xiaoming interrupted him and asked, "What do the four fresh fruits and four dried fruits mean?" ”
"It's a fruit bowl."
Li Yi explained: "It is the snacks placed on the table before the banquet, such as oranges, peaches, apricots, plums, and dried fruits are melon seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, and red dates." ”
"Oooh!"
Huang Xiaoming realized that he had asked a stupid question, and hurriedly explained: "I thought it was preserved fruit or something, and it needs to be freshly made." ”
"No, that's too wasteful, I don't have that time."
Li Yi continued to talk about the dishes: "The cold dishes are four beautiful dishes, four side dishes, individual customers can order them separately, but you write them on the menu first." ”
Huang Xiaoming hesitated, but still asked: "What is this four beautiful discs, four matching discs?" ”
"I'm going to tell you about this."
Li Yi explained: "The four beautiful dishes are the first four dishes of the tofu feast, which are salted tofu, spiced peanuts, garlic lettuce, and fried chestnuts with sugar.
These four dishes are homophonic, blessing, life, wealth, and standing, implying blessing and wealth.
The four side dishes are the last four dishes of cold dishes, which are dried tofu mixed with sauce, tofu skin mixed with cold sauce, milk tofu mixed with sugar, and tofu residue mixed with green onions.
These four cold dishes are the four forms of tofu that are displayed, and it can be regarded as officially entering the tofu feast. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll take note."
Huang Xiaoming wrote down all the dishes Li Yi said on paper, and then asked curiously: "Can tofu residue also be cooked?" ”
"Of course."
Li Yi said with a smile: "Okara is very nutritious, and it is relatively healthy, the elderly can also eat it, it can be noodles, porridge, stir-frying, croquettes, moldy bean dregs, all delicious." ”
Huang Xiaoming asked him with a smile: "Is it in your eyes, there is nothing untasty?" ”
"Whether it's good or not, it all depends on the technology."
Li Yi took a sip of soy milk: "In my place, as long as I can eat it, I can make it delicious." ”
"That's good."
Huang Xiaoming joked: "In the future, if there is a wilderness survival program looking for me, I will find you to go with me, I will definitely not be hungry." ”
"Don't."
Li Yi smiled: "I can't stand that sin." ”
While laughing, Huang Xiaoming finished memorizing all the cold dishes, and then asked, "What about the hot dishes?" ”
"Hot dish..."
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Taishan tofu banquet is divided into three specifications: the emperor's banquet, the emperor's banquet and the emperor's banquet, which are six hot dishes, nine hot dishes and twelve hot dishes.
I said that you wrote, these nine dishes are Taiji Fu Shou Soup, auspicious Nafu, Fu and Tianqi, the Jade Emperor blesses, the unicorn offers blessings, blessings such as the East China Sea, Dongtian blessed land, nine turns of blessing intestines, Taishan Sanfu soup. ”
"Wow! So many blessings? ”
Huang Xiaoming exclaimed as he wrote.
"Tofu and bean blessing, take the homonym of fu, otherwise when the emperor is enshrined in Zen, why would he eat tofu feast?"
Li Yi explained, and then continued: "After the meal, let's serve two dishes first!" Almond tofu and fairy tofu, don't get too much, otherwise you won't be busy. ”
"What is fairy tofu? It sounds like a fairy feeling. ”
Huang Xiaoming was curious.
"You'll know when the time comes."
Li Yi sold it first, then wiped his hands and got up: "Okay, that's it for the menu first, I have to be busy, a bunch of work waiting to be done." ”
"Okay, I'll help you right away."
Huang Xiaoming hurriedly wrote the menu, and asked again: "How should the price of the dish be determined?" ”
Li Yi said casually: "We go out to purchase, every transaction is booked, Yifei has a record, you calculate the cost, you decide how much money to set." ”
"Oh, good."
Huang Xiaoming answered, and continued to bow his head and write.
The cameraman on the side slammed the camera to the paper in front of him, photographing the menu on it.
In the live broadcast room, barrages flew.
"This name sounds delicious!"
"It's really a season in the Forbidden City, and this dish has an aura just by hearing the name."
"The program team has really made a lot of money, and the quality of this season is so high."
"I really want to try it! If everything else is said, I just want to try that soy sauce fried rice. ”
In the amazement of the audience, Li Yi has already begun to get busy.
He opened a bag of Tianshan flour from the Western Regions Province and poured it on the desk.
25kg of flour occupies the entire desk, full of it, like a mountain in the heavenly court in Journey to the West.
Digging a hole in the middle of the mountain, Li Yi poured a bucket of water into it, and immediately created a "volcano" composed of water and flour on the desk.
After turning into a scoop of salt water and adding the "crater", Li Yi began to make noodles.
Little by little, the flour was put into the water and glued into the dough, and then, Li Yi began to push the dough from left to right.
It wasn't until the dough was pushed into a huge dough that Li Yi stopped and covered it with a layer of plastic sheeting to let it rise.
By this time, an hour had passed.
Among the kitchen equipment equipped by the program team, there is a dough mixing machine, which is a machine provided by the sponsor.
But Li Yi has high requirements for this dough noodles, so he still didn't use a dough mixer.
Although the dough mixer can quickly and economically mix the flour into a dough, it cannot be as delicate as the handmade dough.
If you cut the dough from the dough mixer, you will find that there will still be a lump on the cross-section, which is not and evenly.
Therefore, when using a dough maker to make noodles such as ramen noodles, it will be easier to break, and there will be broken areas, and the gluten of the noodles will not be comparable to that of handmade noodles at all.
This is also the reason why many machine noodles taste soulless.
What Li Yi needs is a dough that is completely and evenly mixed and sufficient, so he can't save this strength, so he can only make it himself little by little.
But the effort is always worth it, and in the end and out of the dough perfectly meets his needs.
At the end of his life, he could even feel the muscles and bones in the dough, which was a sign of the gradual awakening of gluten in the flour.
At this time, if this dough of noodles is used to make ramen, it will be Q bounced, but just eating noodles will be delicious.
But Li Yi doesn't plan to make ramen.
He and this dough are for the gluten in it.
