As long as the ingredients are good, the stew time is enough, and the heat is controlled, the taste is generally not bad.

However, if you want to make the stock into flower petals, then it is not enough to have the stock, you also need to have good fish gelatin.

After putting all kinds of processed seafood into the soup bucket, Li Yi took out the white fish maw, put it in warm boiled water, and soaked it.

The fishy smell of old rubber is much lighter than that of new glue, but because it is left for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some dust impurities, so it needs to be soaked and cleaned in advance.

It takes two hours for the seafood stock to simmer, and it takes at least three hours for the fish gelatin to soak.

So after soaking the fish gelatin, Li Yi went to the storage room, took out thirty hairy crabs bought by Gaoyou, cleaned them, and sent them to the steamer to be steamed.

These crabs are what he intends to use to make [Hibiscus Crab Bucket]

This batch of hairy crabs was all contacted with the help of Deputy Director Wang, and they were not small, each about six taels.

In the farm introduced by Deputy Director Wang, there are crabs of eight taels and more than one catty.

But Li Yi didn't need such a big crab, so he only needed six taels of crabs.

The steamer was steamed quickly, and after steaming for twenty minutes, Li Yi took out the steamed hairy crab.

As soon as the steamer comes out, the umami unique to the crab spreads.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, who were still picking petals, couldn't sit still, and when they saw Li Yi put the tray on the desk, they both got up and came to the front.

"Wow! Lots of crabs! It's so satisfying to watch. ”

Zhao Jinmai rubbed his hands, looking excited.

Soon, Huang Xiaoming and Wu Lei in the storage room also smelled the smell and ran out.

They didn't eat in the morning, they worked as soon as they got up, and they were so busy that they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

"Can you try one? Brother Yi? ”

Wu Lei asked with a swallow.

"Taste it!"

Li Yi smiled: "I know that you are all hungry, but be careful when eating, and leave all the crab buckets, I will be useful." ”

"Got it!"

Wu Lei responded happily, so he drew a pair of chopsticks, took a small bowl, and took a crab out.

Looking at the faint golden yellow of the crab's abdomen, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! This crab is so full of crab roe! ”

"I picked it myself, of course it's full."

Li Yi smiled and motioned to Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai: "After you finish eating later, take out the crab roe of these crabs and put them together." ”

Liu Yifei asked curiously: "What are you going to do?" ”

"[Hibiscus Crab Bucket]."

Li Yi casually explained: "I want to fill all these crab roe into the crab bucket, and then puree the meat of seven kinds of fish and shrimp to make hibiscus flowers on the crab bucket."

After steaming in this way, the final product will be like a hibiscus flower blooming in a crab bucket, which is beautiful and delicious. ”

Listening to his explanation, several people around were stunned, and the action of peeling crabs stopped.

"You eat first, and then you're busy."

Li Yi said a word, and then turned around and went to the storage room to catch fish.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai looked at each other, Zhao Jinmai blinked, feeling a little wooden in his brain: "I just said that I want to use soup to make flowers, and now I want to use fish and meat to make flowers and vegetables, is it so exaggerated?" ”

"Make flowers out of soup?"

Wu Lei was in the storage room just now, and he didn't hear Li Yi's words, so he was surprised and asked, "How to make flowers with soup?" ”

"I don't know."

Zhao Jinmai spread his hands: "Brother Yi didn't say it." ”

Wu Lei looked at the crab in his hand and couldn't help sighing: "For so long, I have eaten so many delicious things from Brother Yi, I thought Brother Yi's cooking skills were high enough, but I didn't expect him to show real skills at all!" ”

"yes!"

Zhao Jinmai also sighed: "I have never heard of using fish to make flowers." ”

Liu Yifei didn't speak, but just took the crab bucket that Wu Lei took off, put it on an empty plate on the side, and kept it.

As Li Yi said just now, these crab buckets are useful.

In the live broadcast room, looking at the few people who were eating crabs for breakfast in front of the camera, the audience was envious.

"That's great! There are crabs to eat early in the morning. ”

"I'm hungry, I don't think I've eaten crabs since the New Year."

"Haha! This is the hairy crab from my hometown Gaoyou, which is particularly delicious! ”

"In two months, the hairy crabs here in my house will also be at their fattest, I must have a good time!"

"Crabs used to be eaten by the poor, and they had no rice to eat, so they could only eat crabs to satisfy their hunger, but now they are sold at a high price, and the poor can't afford to eat them."

"I want to go back to the old days, when I ate all-you-can-eat crabs!"

"I have a crab pond at home, and now I am recruiting a proprietress, is there a beautiful woman who loves to eat crabs?"

"Can I go on a blind date first? You invited me to eat a crab, and then because I didn't think it was appropriate, I didn't contact him. ”

"Upstairs, the abacus hit Beihai and heard it, hey!"

The audience in the live broadcast room kept laughing.

In the storage room, Li Yi was looking at the basins all over the floor and all kinds of fish in the basins.

Most of the fish are still alive, but some are dying and have even turned their bellies up.

Li Yi didn't care, just fished the belly-turned fish into a separate basin.

These fish have gone through thousands of kilometers of transportation before they arrive here, and some of them are normal wear and tear.

Looking around, he brought two pots over and began to catch fish.

After scooping several fish together, he used a net pocket to scoop up the lake shrimp in the pot and put them in another basin separately.

Returning to the kitchen with two basins, as soon as he put the fish down, Wu Lei came over.

"Do you need so many fish?"

He snorted the crab roe and looked curious.

"What kind of fish are these? And shrimp? ”

Zhao Jinmai also seemed to be a curious baby, and followed over.

Huang Xiaoming looked at the fish in the basin and tried to identify it: "I recognize that it is a pufferfish, it should be an anchovy, right?" I see you fishing on Gaoyou Lake, and it seems that this is what you fish. ”

"Anchovy, pufferfish, saury, these are the three fresh foods of the Yangtze River, we have seen them all in Gaoyou."

Liu Yifei followed and recognized three kinds of fish from them.

But looking at the remaining three fish of different sizes and shapes, and a translucent shrimp, she had no clue.

"This is a white fish, and this little strip is called a whitebait."

Li Yi pointed to the fish in the basin and explained to her: "This kind of shrimp is called white shrimp, and the sum of these three types is the three whites of Taihu Lake." ”

"Taihu Sanbai?"

Liu Yifei suddenly realized: "This is the three whites of Taihu Lake!" I've only heard of it, and it's the first time I've seen it. ”

"But it's not in vain, is it?"

Zhao Jinmai curiously pointed to the white fish in the basin and asked, "This fish is obviously silver?" ”

"Silver is white!"

Li Yi said with a smile: "Its common name is Baitiao, Qiaobai, also called Qiaozui, there is a person named Deng Gang, who specializes in fishing for this kind of fish." ”

When Huang Xiaoming heard this, he immediately remembered: "I have watched his video, and it turns out that the cocked mouth he fished is this kind of fish!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward curiously, looked at the white fish in the basin, and sighed.

"This kind of white fish that lives in Taihu Lake is called Taihu Lake White Fish, but there are also this kind of fish in other places, but Taihu Lake is more famous."

Li Yizheng explained, Wu Lei on the side suddenly exclaimed, and pointed to a slender fish floating in the basin: "Brother Yi! The fish is dead! ”
