Foam is the fat and impurities left on the pork skin, and they are also the main substances that make the soup cloudy.

After boiling for a few minutes, Li Yi poured out the pork skin, boiled a pot of boiling water again, and completely washed away the remaining foam on the pig skin.

That wasn't all, he put the pigskin in the basin again, added some flour, and kneaded it vigorously.

After scrubbing for a minute, he rinsed with water, and the water became cloudy again because of the flour.

Rinsing the flour, he added a little more salt to the pork rind and kneaded it for another minute.

When I rinsed it again, the water that came down this time was only slightly whitish and almost transparent.

Then, Li Yi rinsed three more times, and only stopped after washing until the rinsing water was clear and translucent, without any color.

Scooping out the pigskin and putting it on the grate curtain to filter the water, Li Yi picked up a piece of pigskin silk.

The cooked pork skin is translucent, like a rubber band, flexible, clean and translucent.

Wu Lei leaned over and looked at the pigskin in Li Yi's hand, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is too clean, isn't it?" ”

Wen Song and the others watched Li Yi clean it over and over again, and finally washed the pigskin like this.

Looking at the pigskin in Li Yi's hand, Wen Song also sighed sincerely: "Oh, it's the first time I've seen someone wash the pigskin so clean." ”

Tang Jianjun looked curious, picked up one, looked at it, put it to his nose and smelled it, and then asked Li Yi: "We use flour and salt when we wash the water in Gada, and you also use flour and salt to wash pig skin?" ”

Li Yi smiled when he heard this: "I want to make the soup transparent, of course I have to wash it." ”

"It's pretty clean."

Tang Jianjun stuffed the pigskin into his mouth, chewed it creakingly, and asked curiously: "These two things are really clean when washing oil, when I wash the range hood at home, I wash it with flour and salt, and the effect of removing oil is really good, why is this?" ”

When everyone on the side heard his words, they also looked at Li Yi curiously.

Seeing this, Li Yi casually explained: "The protein in flour will form gluten, that is, gluten particles, when it encounters water.

Gluten can encapsulate larger particles of oil and impurities, and can wash away the dirt on the surface of many ingredients.

Salt can react with grease to form a hydrophilic solution, and the degreasing effect is also better.

But the best effect is baking soda, but baking soda will leave an alkaline taste, so I don't use it, or wash it with flour and salt, and the effect is also good. ”

"Oh, that's what a reason!"

Wang Xiaoli smiled: "Then these two things should be able to wash your face after a while, right?" It's all oily anyway, my oily skin. ”

"You can try."

Tang Jianjun joked on the side: "But I think it's best not to take fine salt, try to change it to coarse salt, maybe you can still practice the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt!" Ha ha! ”

Listening to their jokes, Li Yi had already fished out the boiled elbow meat, cut it into thin slices, and put it into two large rectangular glass bowls.

These two bowls can be used as molds to shape the crystal elbow.

He then put the cleaned pork skin on top of the elbow meat, boiled a pot of boiling water again, and threw a handful of peppercorns into the water.

The previous water was all about cleaning impurities.

This pot of water is the real ingredient for making crystal elbows.

Taking advantage of the boiling water, he cut some green onions and ginger slices and put them on the pork skin.

When the water in the pot boiled and the smell of peppercorns wafted away, he used a colander to remove all the peppercorns in the pot.

Take out the peppercorns, and it's time to season.

Crystal elbows are heavier than the salt mouth of ordinary cooking, and usually twice as much salt is added.

And even if you put twice as much salt, it won't feel salty when you eat it.

Therefore, Li Yi added three tablespoons of salt to the pot in a row, added another spoonful of rice wine, stirred well, and the pot of soup was ready.

Scooping the soup with a frying spoon, he poured the soup into a glass bowl and covered the pork rind.

Then, he put the glass bowl into the steamer and steamed it on the fire.

In order to increase the efficiency, Li Yi set the steamer to pressurize, so that the steaming time was shortened to 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, Li Yi took out the glass bowl and dipped his index finger in some soup.

The soup is clear and bright, no different from when it was put into the steamer just now.

But Li Yi tried to pinch his thumb and index finger, but the soup stuck the fingertips of the two fingers together, and it took some effort to open them.

This means that the gum in the pig skin has been steamed out.

The gum is evaporated, and once cooled, the soup solidifies, like jelly, and becomes solid.

In that state, it's the finished crystal elbow.

It will be at least an hour or two before it cools.

It was late at night, and Li Yi asked Wu Lei to help bring two large bowls of crystal elbows into the acid discharge room.

The acid exhaust chamber has air conditioning circulating cold air, which can quickly reduce the temperature to between 0-4°C.

By the time they come over tomorrow morning, the crystal elbow will be ready to use.

After putting the crystal elbow away, Li Yi returned to the back kitchen.

The pig's heads in the two large soup buckets have also been prepared.

But this is only a semi-finished product, and if you want to make [grilled whole pig's head], you need to simmer it in a thick soup sauce for at least three hours.

Therefore, Li Yi took out the pig's head, cleaned it, and sent it to the acid discharge room.

After putting the ingredients out, Li Yi took everyone and cleaned up the sanitation simply.

In addition to the things that had to be cleaned up, such as oil, pots, knives, ingredients, etc., other tableware, seasonings and other bottles and cans, Li Yi didn't let everyone clean up.

This is to save time.

Tomorrow morning, these things will still have to be taken out and used, so there is no need to pack them all up.

Closing the door and returning to the hotel, Li Yi and his party sat in the car, all a little tired.

Today, I worked hard all day, and after eating in the evening, I continued to be busy until late at night, and everyone was tired enough.

Li Yi felt okay, with the blessing of the mysterious power of the dream space, his physical strength recovered quickly.

After returning to the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

But Li Yi was not in a hurry to go back, but first communicated with the staff of the program team and had a small meeting.

Tonight, the program team staff is destined to stay up all night.

They have to connect with the elderly who fly in from all over the country, and they are responsible for picking up the airport, arranging accommodation and rest.

Early tomorrow morning, they will also be responsible for organizing the old people to have breakfast, gather, go to the Forbidden City, and handle tickets and various procedures.

So, after the end of the shooting, their work became even busier.

After confirming the number of elderly people who will come to participate in the show tomorrow, Li Yi went back to his room to rest.

He can't help with these behind-the-scenes docking work.

And tomorrow's banquet, he is the main force in the back kitchen, so he must be mentally refreshed.

Back in the room, there was no dream all night, and when Li Yi woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.
