In the minds of many people, cutting cakes in the Western Regions has been equated with expensive and pitted people.

Because of the forced buying and selling of some black-hearted vendors, there have been a lot of jokes about cutting cakes on the Internet.

After Li Yi and Reba talked about cutting cakes, a ridiculous barrage suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Showing off your wealth?"

"Cutting cakes in the Western Regions, one knife in the capital and one suite."

"How do you want to cut cakes? There is no humanity in the trenches! ”

"This thing cuts one knife Brother Yun went bankrupt, cut two knives and shed tears, cut three knives Gates kneeling, cut four knives CCTV meeting, cut five knives economic decadence, cut six knives civilization regression, cut seven knives global collapse, cut eight knives primitive society!"

"Is cake cutting expensive? , don't you think? Last time I drove to buy a cut cake, I bought a large piece of only a hundred yuan, but I was a little tired from walking home! ”

Reba also saw the barrage in the live broadcast room, and hurriedly explained: "Maren candy is indeed a bit expensive, but the raw materials used are all good things, mainly because some black-hearted traders have made the reputation of cutting cakes stink, but in fact, maren candy is really a real dessert." ”

Li Yi saw that she was eager to justify the food in her hometown, so she smiled and said: "I can prove this, the cost of good maren candy is indeed not low, you can take a look at the materials I use, calculate the cost and then judge, fair and comfortable in the hearts of the people!" ”

With that, he boiled the pot dry, and then poured the prepared glucose syrup into the pot.

Pouring the syrup, Li Yi introduced to the camera: "The syrup used in authentic maren is boiled from the grape juice pressed from grapes, and nothing else is added."

I boiled these syrups out of grape juice yesterday, and I used a total of 30 kilograms of grapes, and boiled out these 5 kilograms of glucose syrup, which cost about 600 yuan. ”

Then, he slowly pushed the syrup with a spatula, so that the syrup was evenly heated, and gradually boiled until it boiled.

Seeing that the syrup had stirred up a large number of bubbles, Li Yi turned off the heat, then picked up the dried fruits that Liu Yifei and the others brought over, and added them one by one.

"There are walnut kernels here, and the selection is the corps red 185 paper walnut kernels, the cost is eighty-one kilograms, and there are two kilograms here, a total of one hundred and sixty yuan."

"Here are almonds, which cost forty-five kilograms, and here are two kilograms, a total of ninety."

"This is an extra-large cashew nut, which costs seventy-five kilograms, a total of two kilograms, exactly one hundred and fifty."

"There are also peanut kernels from Hetian, a total of two kilograms, and the cost is fifty."

"This is Xiangfei raisins, one kilogram is sixty, and two kilograms should be added, a total of one hundred and two."

"There's more..."

Watching Li Yi put all the same dried fruits into the pot and mix them, introducing the ingredients, the audience in the live broadcast room was also silently calculating the price.

It's not that I don't know, but after a calculation, the audience was surprised to find that the price of this pot of maren candy was thousands unconsciously!

In this way, the cost of cutting cakes has to exceed 100 per kilogram, that is, 50 per catty.

The cost is not low, but it doesn't seem to be as expensive as everyone thinks.

Seeing this, many viewers realized the problem.

"I haven't bought it, I just saw that netizens said it was very expensive, but looking at it this way, it is expensive and expensive!"

"The cost of fifty pounds of one pound may be eighty pounds of sales, which is indeed not cheap, but this material is really solid! It's all dried fruit! And it's also bonded with grape juice syrup, so it's really not expensive! ”

"If you buy this kind of cut cake, I am willing to buy it for a pound and a hundred, but all the food we sell here is made of peanuts and syrup, which is hard to death, sweet and expensive, too pitiful!"

"It turns out that the real cake cutting is like this! Those black-hearted vendors have really ruined the reputation of their hometown! ”

Seeing the audience's barrage, Reba also smiled: "In fact, there are bad guys everywhere, don't generalize, most people in the Western Regions are very warm and friendly." ”

"Yes!"

When Zhao Jinmai heard this, he nodded thoughtfully: "Now there are many people on the Internet who are laughing at us Northeast people, saying that we eat dumplings and pour them on the table, and a pack of sauce can eat a green belt.

There are bad people everywhere, the old family I know, they are all very enthusiastic, very simple, and very warm-hearted, some bad people do not represent all of us Northeast people, and we hate such people and phenomena as much as everyone else. ”

"So! We all need to stick together. ”

Reba smiled and spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Just like we people in the Western Regions often say, the people of all ethnic groups should hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, and the people of all places should also unite and hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, let's hug it!" ”

As she spoke, she smiled and hugged Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, hugging them together.

Liu Yifei hugged her gently, feeling a little strange in her heart.

Is it because Reba is an ethnic minority and has a more cheerful and enthusiastic personality?

Why does she want to hug at every opportunity?

"Stick!"

Reba's heart was full of joy.

If only I could hug Yifei every day!

Seeing them hugging each other and giggling, Li Yi shook his head and buried himself in his work.

The dried fruit was already tossed evenly, so he found a tray and brushed it with a layer of butter.

Then he scooped out the marline from the pot and put it in a tray.

Using a wooden shovel to press the maren candy tightly, Li Yicai instructed Liu Yifei and the others: "The work of decorating the flowers will be handed over to you, and what you want to decorate depends on your hands-on ability." ”

The mounting of marins is to glue various colors of preserved fruits to the surface of marins and put them together into a variety of patterns and patterns.

Every girl has little resistance to colorful things.

Seeing Li Yi take out a bunch of preserved fruits of various colors, Liu Yifei and the three of them happily came over and began to put together the patterns.

Let them have fun, Li Yi came to Daxin.

Daxin had already kneaded the flour into a smooth dough, but he was still kneading it hard.

"It's already possible."

Li Yi stopped him.

"Is that okay?"

Daxin stopped his movements, breathed heavily, and said with a smile: "This dough is quite effective, and the stimulation of triceps and deltoid muscles is particularly in place!" Am I addicted to all of them? ”

"Really?"

When Li Yi saw him filling the cup, he smiled and said, "Do you want to be with a bag again?" ”

"Uh... I think it's almost enough. ”

Daxin snorted, a little stunned.

This noodles are really a physical job, and with a bag of noodles, he may not be able to withstand it.

"Just kidding, enough is enough."

Li Yi greeted with a smile: "Let's go!" Go and see how the pilaf is simmering, it should already be turning the pot. ”

With that, he took Daxin back to the courtyard of the front hall.

In the middle of the courtyard, the duo is turning over the rice in a pot with a shovel.

Under the tumbling of broth and mutton fat below, bursts of rich aroma were erupting outward, and the two of them couldn't stop swallowing saliva while flipping rice.

The diners queuing outside the restaurant were overwhelmed by the smell and shouted outside, asking when they would be able to open.

Huang Xiaoming and Wu Lei were desperately trying to soothe the emotions of the diners outside, handing them milk shells, almonds and other snacks.

Li Yi heard the crowd outside, came to the door to take a look, but was startled by the crowd in line.

Is this half of the Forbidden City's visitors?
