There are white and tender tofu piled up in the clear soup, just looking at the appearance, Liu Yifei couldn't imagine that its taste would be so strong.

The aroma and slight spiciness, which made her really think she was eating mapo tofu.

But the refreshing taste without any greasy feeling reminded her that she was eating mapo tofu with a clear soup, which gave her a sense of mismatch between impression and reality.

Zhao Jinmai noticed her surprise, and curiously scooped a piece of tofu and put it into his mouth.

"Huh?"

She was also shocked by the misalignment of her eyes and mouth.

"This is really the taste of mapo tofu!"

Zhao Jinmai was amazed, but also full of curiosity: "How did this happen?" ”

Another spoon stretched out, and Wu Lei also tasted it, and was immediately convinced.

"Wow! It's so enjoyable! ”

He finished eating a spoonful, then immediately scooped up another spoonful, put it in his mouth, and exclaimed: "I can eat this dish as an indulgence, it tastes so good, and it is not greasy at all, it is perfect!" ”

"This peppercorn flavor is really fragrant."

Liu Yifei is tasting the taste of the soup.

"I tasted it too."

Wu Lei enjoyed eating: "No wonder Brother Yi would rather let the program team send someone to buy it locally, not in the market, the taste of this pepper is very strong, but it is very fragrant, and it is not choking at all." ”

Hearing his words, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but ask Li Yi: "Brother Yi, why is this pepper you bought locally so much more fragrant than ordinary peppercorns?" ”

"Because I buy fresh headstock."

When Li Yi heard this, he patiently explained: "Whether it is peppercorns, star anise, or cumin, the fresher it is, the stronger the taste."

Because the flavor compounds in these seasonings will dissipate over time, fresh products are often sold much more expensive than old products.

However, in fresh goods, there are also grades.

For example, after the ripening and harvesting of peppercorns, the first batch of selected peppercorns are called the first goods, the particles are particularly full, and each pepper is fully opened, and there are no pepper seeds.

The best peppercorns are still a few peppercorns growing on a single petal, just like plum blossoms.

The quality of the second and third batches of goods is slightly inferior.

Many merchants in the market sell peppercorns, which are not pure head goods, and are more or less adulterated.

Some are mixed with the first and inferior goods to sell, and some are mixed with aged peppercorns or soaked peppercorns.

There are also people who mix the oil of Zanthoxylum oil in those factories, and the inferior is to mix the seeds and branches of Zanthoxylum bungeanum into Zanthoxylum pepper and grind it into Zanthoxylum noodles, which is cheaper.

Therefore, I was afraid of trouble, so I simply asked people to go on a trip and go to the local area to buy pure fresh goods, saving me from looking here and wasting time. ”

After listening to his explanation, Zhao Jinmai seemed to see the other side of the world and sighed: "It turns out that there are so many doorways for peppercorns. ”

"Of course, the water in the seasoning industry is still very deep."

Laughing, Huang Xiaoming has already calculated the cost.

After calculation, he was surprised to find that although the name and appearance of the dishes made by Li Yi this time were very ordinary, the cost was not low at all, and it was even much higher than the cost of the tofu feast.

After a moment's sigh, he put away the booklet.

There are no more pieces left in the [clear soup mapo tofu], and the [dry fried eggplant strips] are also half eaten.

If he doesn't eat again, he really won't have anything to eat.

When eating, you have to rush to eat to be fragrant, and after a while, everyone swept away the dishes and rice.

There is too much work today, and Li Yi has no time to cook staff meals for the staff, so they can only watch the few people in front of the camera feasting, and they are eating ordinary three-meat and two-vegetarian lunches.

However, after they finished eating, they could rest behind the camera, but Li Yi and the others had to start to continue their work.

After putting the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, everyone began to continue their morning work.

By the time the work at hand was done, it was already late at night.

After a busy day, Chef Li lifted the lid of the soup bucket that had been boiling for a whole day, and the bucket full of water poured in the morning had turned into a small half bucket of soup at this time.

A bowl of fragrant broth is the best soothing for everyone.

Unlike vegetarian stock, meat stock made with old hen, whole duck, big bones, ham and other ingredients is something that all meat lovers can't refuse.

When Li Yi lifted the lid, the entire restaurant reverberated with the sound of exclamations and swallowing saliva one after another.

The staff looked at the artists in front of the camera, envious, and couldn't help whispering.

"It smells so good! It's more fragrant than vegetarian stock! ”

"It's definitely delicious."

"I'd love to try it!"

"Don't think about it, this is the soup stock for tomorrow's dish, there are so many of us, if we all taste it, then we won't be able to drink it all?"

"Drink it tightly with the artist! The effect of the program is important. ”

"I watched Meituan yesterday, and there seems to be a restaurant near the hotel that makes Cantonese soup, so I'll order a taste when I go back to the hotel."

Just when the staff thought that the soup stock could only smell this time, Li Yi greeted them: "Come and help me get the flavor, see what is still missing, I can adjust." ”

Hearing Li Yi's greeting, the staff were stunned before they reacted, and immediately cheered, and rushed to Li Yi's approach.

"Serve it yourself! Be careful with scalding. ”

Li Yi helped them serve the soup and reminded: "There is only half a bowl per person, if you spill it, it will be gone." ”

"Thank you, Brother Yi!"

"Long live Brother Yi!"

The staff cheered happily.

Looking at the jubilant and lively kitchen, the audience in the live broadcast room was also greedy.

But it's not just the soup stock that they crave, it's the joyful atmosphere that they crave.

"That's great! It felt like our company had a dinner party after working overtime, and it was fun. ”

"Brother Yi is really good, if it is another show, how can the staff get such a good soup to drink?"

"Actually, after watching the live broadcast for a few days, this family photo before the next broadcast every day is my favorite, and it feels very real."

"These late-stage staff are also quite hard, thanks to Brother Yi still thinking about them!"

"I am willing to work overtime to record a program in such a program, so happy!"

Wang Tian also came to the show and shared a bowl of soup to drink.

Blowing hot air with the soup, she said to Li Yi: "A reporter contacted me and wanted to interview you." ”

"Why are you interviewing me?"

Li Yi had little interest in the interview.

"Do you remember the manufacturer of the yellow sprout cabbage you talked about on the show yesterday?"

Wang Tian explained: "I arranged for someone to contact him, and then during the live broadcast today, I put his contact information on the public screen, and he sold out directly, and the production capacity until the end of the year was all booked, and there are still many people looking for him to order."

The local media thought that this was a successful case of helping farmers, so they wanted to do an exclusive interview with Ling. ”

Li Yi was a little surprised: "I just said that, so many people are looking for him to buy cabbage?" ”

"Do you think you're still having little influence?"

Wang Tian said with a smile: "If you say a word on the show, it is more effective than spending money on advertising on many TV stations!" ”

After learning the reason for the interview, Li Yi thought about it and didn't refuse again.

It is a good thing to help farmers, and if it can help local farmers increase their income, it is also a merit.

However, the media should not be here to lobby him to be the spokesperson for cabbage, right?
