"Gardenias can still be dyed?"

Zhao Jinmai was a little surprised: "I only know Mr. He's song..."

Before she finished speaking, Wu Lei sang at the side of her voice: "Gardenia blooms!" Gardenias bloom! ”

Everyone: "......"

Seeing this, Wu Lei shrunk his neck: "I was wrong." ”

Glancing at him speechlessly, Li Yicai explained with a smile: "Gardenia is a natural dye, and many places will use gardenia to dye food and make all kinds of beautiful food."

For example, there is a colorful pilaf in Yunnan Province, and the water boiled from the gardenia is used to cook the rice, and the cooked rice is golden brown and beautiful.

It can also be used to dye tofu, and there is a golden tofu, so you need to use it to dye it.

In some places, gardenias are also used to color the braised vegetables, and the chicken wings will be yellow and bright in color, which looks very appetizing.

Including some places in Guangdong Province to make white-cut chicken, gardenias will also be used to add some color. ”

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room also discussed it in the barrage.

"I've learned, I'll buy some home stewed rice and try it when I go back."

"The people of Yunnan Province explain that that the colorful pilaf is all to deceive foreign tourists, and our locals don't eat it at all."

"Why did this Li Yi tell my secret recipe? When I was learning how to make white cut chicken, my master taught me the secret ingredient to add two yellow gardenias to the soup. ”

"Okay! No wonder I make white-cut chicken at home, it is not as yellow as in the restaurant outside, I thought the three-yellow chicken I bought was fake, it turned out to be because of the yellow gardenia! ”

"Huh? When I was a child, there was a flower that I planted near my house and I could use its petals to dye my nails, and that was gardenia, right? ”

"Is upstairs also from Yu Province? I've dyed it too! Wrapped in its leaves, my sister dyed it for me. ”

"I'm from Hui Province! I've dyed it too! Our name is henna, and when I was a child, all ten of my fingers were dyed orange, and I thought it was beautiful! Ha ha! ”

Zhao Jinmai saw the audience's barrage and said weakly: "Actually, I also dyed it when I was a child, and it was given to me by my neighbor's sister, and she also said that it was called henna, but it was not this kind of dried gardenia." ”

"That's right."

Li Yi smiled: "You should use impatiens, not gardenias."

Impatiens are dyed with freshly picked petals, and gardenias are dyed with water boiled from gardenia fruits, which is different. ”

"Yes, yes, it's dyed with flower petals."

Zhao Jinmai nodded again and again.

As he spoke, the konjac powder in the pot had become sticky again, and Sui had a little trouble stirring it with a spoon.

Seeing this, Li Yi went to the storage room, found a stainless steel bucket, smeared a layer of soybean oil on it, and then helped Sui pour the konjac powder slurry into it.

Next, you only need to wait for it to cool down and solidify naturally, and the konjac powder is ready.

On the other side, Liu Yifei also peeled the bamboo shoots and sent them to Li Yi: "Is this okay?" ”

She peeled it carefully, and every bamboo shoot was intact, and the tips of the bamboo shoots were not broken.

"Yes, it's very good, it's hard work."

Li Yi took it and said hard work with a smile.

Liu Yifei smiled, very happy, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to help with?" ”

"Not for now."

Li Yi looked at the materials that had been prepared: "Next, it's time for me to do it." ”

After speaking, he came to the pool, carefully washed his hands, and then walked back to the operation desk.

He didn't rush to make a move, just stood in place, his eyes skimming over the ingredients on the table one by one.

But in his mind, these ingredients had already floated in the void, and then they were cut by an invisible knife, turning into pieces of ingredients of different shapes, lengths, and thicknesses.

A stout fresh lotus root floats up.

Whew!

A few knife lights flashed, and the fresh lotus root was hollowed out, and in a circle on the outside, a lotus root flew up, leaving only a lifelike chicken cavity skeleton.

Then, a slender fresh lotus root floated up, and as the knife light flickered, a complete chicken skull appeared above the skeleton of the chicken cavity.

The beak, the head, the sunken eye sockets, and the chicken neck bones at the back are all carved vividly.

In the void, the chicken neck bone floated to the chicken cavity skeleton.

At the very end of the chicken neck bone, there is a horizontal protrusion, which just coincides perfectly with the depression at the front end of the chicken cavity skeleton.

Groov!

With a muffled sound, the chicken skull and the chicken cavity skeleton were perfectly docked.

Perfect, that's it.

Li Yi nodded lightly, and his thoughts moved again.

Click!

A radish was cut at the waist, and in a flash of the knife, two lifelike chicken leg bones appeared.

Next, five more peeled fresh bamboo shoots appeared, cut from the top third, and the tips of the shoots converged to the thicker part of the back of one of the shoots.

Immediately, a chicken claw bone appeared in the void.

As soon as Li Yi's eyes turned, a cut lotus root strip came to his eyes, and it was quickly cut into a concave shape on both sides.

That's the joint where the chicken leg bones connect.

Then, the bone joints below the chicken leg bone and the bone joint above the chicken feet were inserted into the depression of the lotus root joint at the same time, and the seams were tightly closed and the docking was successful.

According to the law, the other five bamboo shoots also converged into another chicken claw, which was stuck behind the skeleton of the chicken cavity together with the chicken leg bone.

Before the thoughts stopped, several bamboo shoots floated up again, divided, and docked, turning into two chicken wing skeletons composed of bamboo shoots, which were inserted on both sides of the chicken body.

In an instant, a complete chicken skeleton appeared in the void.

In the next moment, this chicken skeleton composed of lotus root, radish and bamboo shoots came to life.

Syllable! Syllable!

Chicken feet made of bamboo shoots stepped on the void, took two steps, and shaved twice on the ground.

Then, it raised the chicken wing bone, which was also made of bamboo shoots, and shook in the air, as if flapping its wings.

"Giggles!"

It opened its beak carved from a fine lotus root, cried twice, and then lowered its head and pecked at its feet.

The first step is here and you can complete it.

Li Yi nodded secretly, and his thoughts changed.

Next, it's time for muscle tissue.

As his thoughts moved, a piece of gluten floated up in the void.

With a burst of extrusion, it was cut into countless shapes of strips, slices, cones, and other shapes.

The next moment, gluten floated up and attached to the chicken skeleton, like muscles wrapped around bones.

The cone-shaped gluten passes through the chicken leg bone and wraps tightly around the top, forming a large and sturdy chicken thigh.

Next is fat, Li Yi looked at the southern tofu.

The tender southern tofu floated up, peeled all around and at the top and bottom ends, and the most tender part of the center was pulled out.

Still flashing with knives, the tender tofu was cut into countless slices and automatically attached to the chicken.

The abdomen, buttocks, chicken wings, and yellowish and tender tofu seem to be chicken fat, trembling and trembling, wrapping the abdominal cavity of this chicken.

Next, chicken skin.

Li Yi glanced at the konjac bucket that was cooled in the refrigerator on the side.

A whole piece of konjac flew up from the bucket and came to Li Yi.

Then, a fine knife light flickered, and the konjac was soon carved into the shape of a chicken.

There was another burst of knife light, and the inside of the konjac chicken was hollowed out, leaving only a complete piece of chicken skin.

"Giggles!"

The plain chicken strode up to the konjac skin, got its head into the butt of the chicken, and then the whole chicken got into it.

It's like putting on a goosebump, and the whole chicken has a new look.

"Giggles!"

It shook its wings happily and raised its head to scream.

The last step is coloring.

Li Yi turned his gaze and looked at the gardenia.

A few gardenias flew into the pot and quickly boiled into a pot of dark yellow soup.

"Giggles!"

The chicken leaped into the pot.

Crash!

The water splashed, and it jumped out of the pot and landed on the desk.

The original white chicken skin has been dyed golden yellow, and this chicken seems to have really become a freshly cooked three-yellow chicken, holding its head high!
