"Give you a chance to get revenge."

Li Yi looked at Huang Xiaoming, who came back from touching up his makeup, and said with a smile: "Help me peel out all the shrimp meat of those drunken shrimp." ”

"This is okay, I have a unique shrimp peeling technique."

Huang Xiaoming readily agreed.

Wu Lei saw that no one was willing to try the drunken shrimp again, so he could only eat all the pickled drunken shrimp by himself.

Li Yi kept processing the fish meat in his hands.

This time it was a food trial, so he didn't use the poisonous wild pufferfish, but just took a farmed puffer fish out and shaved the flesh off.

Saury, like anchovy, is a spiny species.

One of the three hated things in Zhang Ailing's life is that the anchovy is spiny.

And the number of fine spines of the saury is no less than that of the spiny anchovy.

However, in Huaiyang cuisine, there is a way to de-prick the saury.

Picking up a knifefish, Li Yi cut off the meat on both sides of it with the skin.

Then, he cut off the abdominal thorns, put the meat on the cutting board, and chopped it gently and rhythmically with the back of the knife.

With the smashing of the back of the knife, the originally resilient fish meat was smashed into meat puree little by little, and the tiny meat thorns sandwiched between the meat slits also stood out from between the meat puree.

After smashing a layer, Li Yi scraped off the meat mud above with the blade of the knife and continued to smash it downward.

Layer after layer, Li Yi smashed until there was no fish meat at all, and only a piece of fish skin remained, and then he stopped.

And the small thorns between the fish are left on the skin of the fish.

Little by little, the flesh was smashed into a pulp and scraped off the skin.

The tiny thorns between the flesh of the fish are all left on the skin, like a sharp blade, pointing to the sky.

Putting away the fish puree, Li Yi put the fish skin aside, but did not discard it.

These fish skins are fried in a pan of oil and fried with fish bones until crispy, which can be used as a snack and taste good.

Anchovies can also be stabbed by smashing mud with the back of a knife, but they can't keep the spines on the skin as easily as a knifefish.

The subcutaneous fat of anchovy is very thick, so the connection between the skin and the flesh is not so tight, and the bones cannot be attached to the skin.

However, after the fish meat is smashed into a meat puree, the fish bones can still be filtered out by gauze filtration.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai had already dug out the crab roe and put it away, and went back to continue picking the petals.

But listening to the sound of Li Yi chopping the fish puree, they would still look up in Li Yi's direction from time to time.

Watching Li Yi patiently smash the fish and meat, Zhao Jinmai whispered to Liu Yifei: "How do I feel that the dishes made by Brother Yi in this episode of the show are very fine?" ”

Liu Yifei looked up at Li Yi and said with a smile: "When did he cook dishes that were not fine?" ”

"No, no, I didn't feel so fine in the last issue."

Zhao Jinmai shook his head and said: "Although the dishes in the Western Regions in the last issue are also delicious, the method is still relatively rough, mainly because the ingredients are good.

But this time, Brother Yi's dishes are not only good ingredients, but also very fine.

Not to mention using soup to make flowers, just smashing so many kinds of fish into fish puree is already very troublesome and laborious. ”

"So what?"

Liu Yifei didn't understand her point.

"So, there must be a reason why Brother Yi has put so much effort into it!"

Zhao Jinmai looked back at Li Yi, then turned his face, looked at Liu Yifei with a smile, squeezed his eyes, and swore solemnly: "I think, Brother Yi must have a purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered so much." ”

"For what purpose?"

Liu Yifei still doesn't understand.

Zhao Jinmai shook his head helplessly and reminded: "You forgot?" Tomorrow is Tanabata! ”

Liu Yifei was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Li Yi's direction.

Li Yi was still chopping fish paste, and the rhythm of the two knives in his hands was even.

Chopped a ball of fish and meat puree, he shoveled it up with a knife and put it into the basin, but Yu Guang seemed to notice Liu Yifei's sight, and raised his eyes casually.

Liu Yifei hurriedly withdrew her eyes quietly, lowered her head, and continued to pick up the petals.

But she always felt that Li Yi was still looking at her, and she always wanted to subconsciously look at her.

It wasn't until the sound of Li Yi's knife chopping fish paste sounded again that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Jinmai looked at Liu Yifei's uncertainty, laughed, lowered his voice and asked, "Did Brother Yi tell you anything?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Yifei was a little surprised, slightly stunned, and then shook her head and asked with a smile: "What did you say?" I do not know. ”

pursing his lips and laughing, Zhao Jinmai didn't ask any more questions, and sat back straight.

Liu Yifei also quietly continued to pick the petals, but her thoughts involuntarily wandered.

She remembered that in the Gaoyou Noodle Restaurant, Li Yi took her bowl and puffed up her cheeks when she ate, and the corners of her mouth also raised a slight arc.

"Tanabata?"

She whispered in a voice that she could only hear.

The petals in her hand had been plucked, and she picked up one again.

Looking at the blooming flowers, she remembered the divination scenes that many heroines have done in idol dramas.

Pluck one petal, another.

She was still doing her job, but her mind was already drifting away.

In front of the desk, Li Yi finally shaved off all the fish meat and smashed it into mud.

He put all the fish puree into a large basin, took some ice cubes, added some water, made a small basin of ice water, and set it aside.

Then, he added four egg whites, half a bowl of green onions, ginger and garlic, and a small amount of salt to the fish mud bowl.

Then, after soaking his hand in the ice water for more than ten seconds, he reached into the fish mud basin and began to whip it quickly with his hands.

After a few moments, he felt the temperature of his hand regain warmth, and he re-immersed his hand in ice water to cool down.

This is done to avoid the temperature of the hand affecting the taste of the fish puree during the stirring process, so that the fish puree is firmer, the product is firmer, and it is easier to set.

In coastal areas, when making fish balls and fish cakes, ice water is added to the fish meat, and the fish balls produced in this way will make the fish cakes more elastic.

In the process of stirring, after adding green onion and ginger water a few times, the fish puree was finally stirred evenly and the gelatinous texture was also formed.

Li Yi dug out a lump of fish puree, put it in the palm of his hand, and then flipped the palm over.

The fish puree was still stuck to his palm, not falling by gravity.

This means that the fish puree has been laid.

Then, Li Yi shouted at Liu Yifei: "Yifei, where did you put the piping bag we bought last time?" ”

"Huh? Oh, in the crisper. ”

Liu Yifei answered, got up and went to the fresh-keeping cabinet and took the piping bag.

"Whoa."

She handed the piping bag to Li Yi.

Watching Li Yi stuff the fish puree into the piping bag, she realized: "Are you going to use the method of cake decorating to make flowers?" ”

"That's right!"

Li Yi smiled: "Otherwise, do you think that I am an immortal and can turn fish into flowers?" ”

"Haha."

Liu Yifei was amused by him, and then asked, "Do you want to help?" I learned how to make pastries, and I can do a little bit of piping. ”

"That's just right."

Li Yi handed her a piping bag full of fish paste: "You try to make one, I'll see." ”
