Li Yi didn't act as a shopkeeper, he had already soaked the second plate of eggplant strips in broth, and then put them in the steamer to continue steaming.

He bought ten catties of dried eggplant, thinking that it would be enough.

But after learning that he was going to make [eggplant], not only Huang Xiaoming and the others wanted him to make more and bring it back to his family to try it.

Even the staff of the program team secretly begged him to do more, and they were willing to spend money to buy it.

After recording the show for a few days, Li Yi and everyone are familiar with it, and Li Yi is not easy to refuse their request.

So, he simply called the market boss again and asked him to send another forty catties of eggplants to dry.

After the eggplant is fried, it can be stored in the refrigerator for half a month, and it is not bad to make a little more and give it away.

However, it is not much trouble to make so many eggplants, but if you want to dry them quickly, you have to use an oven with an air-drying function.

The sponsor provided only two ovens, which was completely insufficient.

Therefore, Li Yi directly asked Wang Tian to find a sponsor and send a few more ovens.

The sponsor was also very happy and immediately transferred four ovens from the store in the capital.

A total of six ovens work together, and the pressure of drying the ingredients is much less.

Li Yi handed over the work of drying eggplant strips to Wu Lei, and then began to pickle the chicken chicks himself.

The chicken chicks he bought this time were all used to make [clear soup noodles].

One of the raw materials of [clear soup noodles] is the chicken powder made by baking the chicken chicks at low temperature at low temperature until they are completely crispy, and then grinding them.

But this work will take at least three days.

One day pickled, one day air-dried, one day baked and ground.

Therefore, Li Yi was not in a hurry, and after smearing the fried five-spice salt on the chickens, he put them in the refrigerator and pickled them.

By this time tomorrow, you can take it out and put it in the oven to air dry.

Looking at the time, it was already noon.

Li Yi came to the stove and began to prepare lunch.

Seeing Li Yi standing in front of the stove, Wu Lei suddenly swallowed his saliva.

Goo!

He swallowed a little loudly, and the others suddenly looked up.

"Hey, hey!"

Wu Lei scratched his head and said with a smile: "I found that I have developed a habit now, and when I see Brother Yi moving the pot, I drool." ”

Hearing him say this, several others were amused.

Zhao Jinmai quipped: "You are a conditioned reflex, just like my dog, as soon as I hear me open the bag of dog food, it will immediately rush over no matter where it is." ”

Wu Lei feigned anger: "What's the matter? Am I a dog? ”

"I'm just giving you an example."

Zhao Jinmai explained with a smile.

Li Yi in front of the stove said with a smile: "If you want to give an example, you should also give an example of Wangmei quenching your thirst?" ”

"That's right! It's the feeling of quenching your thirst! ”

Wu Lei slapped his palm and said with a smile: "I suspect that in a few days, I will have to subconsciously drool when I see you." ”

"What? Do you still want to eat people? Li Yi made a joke.

"Hey, hey! Dinner, of course! ”

Wu Lei smiled and put the arranged eggplant strips into the oven, set the time for drying, and then ran to Li Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, what are we going to eat today?" ”

Li Yi took a plate of steamed eggplant sticks, and said casually: "Stir-fry these eggplant sticks, and then fry the bean sprouts that Yifei and the others have worn, and then make a mapo tofu, and the whole rice is enough to eat." ”

"Okay!"

Wu Lei was already a little impatient, rubbing his hands and asking, "Can you use me to help?" ”

"Not at this time."

Li Yichong signaled in the direction of the oven: "Your main job is to help me make all those eggplant sticks, which is the top priority." ”

"Okay! I'll get it now. ”

Wu Lei happily ran back to the oven: "Then I'll wait to eat!" ”

"Brother Yi, the bean sprouts are ready."

Liu Yifei took a plate of dressed bean sprouts and sent it to Li Yi for him to check.

Li Yi picked one up, looked at the shredded ham that passed through the bean sprout stem, and nodded: "Yes, this kind of bean sprouts is relatively thin, you can all wear it like this, and when our bean sprouts come out, it will be even more fine, our bean sprouts are thicker than this." ”

"Really? That's great! I'm worried that I'm not dressed well enough! ”

Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what will I do next?" ”

Li Yi instructed: "Go and bring those Erjing chili peppers that I dried the day before yesterday." ”

The day before yesterday, he dried some Erjing chili peppers and put them in the open space behind the imperial dining room.

"Okay."

Liu Yifei answered, turned around and went to the yard, and after a while, she came back with a dustpan of white-dried Erjingtiao chili peppers.

Picking up the white two wattles in the dustpan, Liu Yifei asked in surprise: "Brother Yi, why did this pepper turn white?" When I took it out to dry that day, it was still green? Is it broken? ”

"It's not bad, that's what I want."

Li Yi picked up a chili pepper, looked at its white and slightly translucent chili meat, and explained with satisfaction: "This is a local practice in Hunan Province, which is made by blanching it with boiling water before drying it."

The high temperature destroys the chlorophyllase in the epidermal cells of the peppers, which are then exposed to the sun.

When exposed to sunlight, the chlorophyllase in the pepper will undergo photooxidation, begin to fade, and finally become this white pepper. ”

"Can it still be like this?"

Liu Yifei was surprised.

At this time, in the barrage in the live broadcast room, some viewers had already come out to testify for Li Yi.

"It's true! People from Hunan Province are passing by, and the fried beans with white peppers are super delicious! ”

"I used to grow peppers in my yard, and they turned white after a few days of falling on the ground."

"With absolute ethanol, acetone can also be decolorized."

"Isn't there a white pepper anywhere else? We have it everywhere in Hunan Province, and I thought there were all over the country! ”

"Pickled peppers are also white, right? Isn't the pickled pepper in the pickled pepper phoenix paw white? When I eat pickled pepper chicken feet, my favorite thing to eat is the pickled pepper inside. ”

"In the past, there were pickled peppers in the pickled pepper phoenix feet, and now the pickled pepper phoenix feet are printed on the pickled peppers."

"Wouldn't it? No one really eats the pickled pepper in the phoenix paws, right? Isn't it too spicy? ”

"Eat spicy food, no one in Hunan Province has served anyone!"

"The people of Gan Province just smiled and didn't speak."

"There are people everywhere who can and can't eat spicy food, right? Although I am in Guangdong Province, I can still eat spicy food. ”

"Hahaha!"

"Laugh to death!"

"You said that you can eat spicy, do you put two packets of ingredients when eating braised beef noodles?"

"Hahaha!"

"[Angry]"

Liu Yifei also noticed the spicy competition in the live broadcast room, and eagerly joined the discussion, saying with a smile: "Actually, I'm quite good at spicy food." ”

Li Yi looked at her, and a voice seemed to echo in his ears: "Hey, it's not spicy..."

Without saying anything, he glanced at the peppers in the dustpan and silently took out two more.

Then he ordered, "Go and steam the rice, and you can eat later." ”
