Chapter 396: Cured meat

The entrance of the white bread bread, the outer layer of the baked brown crust, crumbled under the squeezing of the teeth.

The next moment, fragrant juice gushed out, filling Wu Lei's entire mouth.

However, this juice not only contains the oil soup formed by the melting of the braised meat, but also the juice overflowing from the lean meat, and more of the spoonful of braised soup that Li Yi poured in.

Li Yi's brine is specially formulated with 28 kinds of spices.

In addition to the eight basic spices, there are also 20 spices with different effects and flavors, but they are extremely harmonious.

These braised pork have conquered all the diners at yesterday's banquet.

At last night's staff meal, the staff were also extremely satisfied.

The compound fragrance created by the blend of 28 spices impresses everyone.

And this time, Li Yi directly poured the braised soup into the meat, which stimulated the braised meat that was soaked in the taste of the brine itself, making its taste reach the extreme.

Munching on the meat, Wu Lei felt the pleasure of oozing the juices, and he was extremely satisfied.

The rich gravy soaks the dough and softens the bun inside.

However, the outer crust remains crispy, creating a wonderful taste experience that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Mom! It's so fragrant! ”

Wu Lei exclaimed: "Is this an authentic meat bun?" The taste of this white bun is simply amazing! The meat is also delicious, 10,000 times better than a burger! ”

Li Yi smiled, and while continuing to make meat sandwich buns, he explained: "Steamed buns are indeed authentic buns, but the meat is not so authentic. ”

"Huh?"

Wu Lei looked at the meat bun in his hand in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this the meat bun?" I've eaten it a few times, and it's not as delicious as yours, but it looks the same, huh? ”

"The meat I use is braised pork, not bacon meat."

Li Yi sandwiched a cake, crossed Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Jinmai, and handed it directly to Liu Yifei, explaining in his mouth: "What is made with Baiji bun is bacon and pork bun, and bacon and braised meat are different." ”

Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Jinmai watched Li Yi deliver the meat bun to Liu Yifei, the two glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Yi with resentment in their eyes.

"What?"

Li Yi saw their eyes and disagreed: "This is to take care of the wounded." ”

"Oh~!"

Zhao Jinmai sighed meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "Then why did you give Wu Lei the first one to eat?" ”

Li Yi spread his hands: "He is thick-skinned, what can I do?" ”

"Huh?"

Wu Lei was stunned with a mouth full of freshly bitten meat buns, looking puzzled.

Liu Yifei took the meat bun, pulled down Zhao Jinmai, and handed it over with a smile: "You eat first." ”

"No, I'm kidding."

Zhao Jinmai pushed back with a smile: "Eat it quickly!" I won't tease you! ”

Huang Xiaoming glanced at the chopped braised meat on the board, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't cured meat just braised meat?" I've been to Chang'an, and the authentic meat buns over there are also marinated in braised soup? ”

"That's an improved version."

Li Yi explained: "There is still a difference between cured meat and braised meat, and the practice of cured meat is older.

If you have to make contact, it should also be considered white brine, not red brine.

Because traditional bacon meat is not colored with sugar or soy sauce to color, and there is no green onion, ginger and cooking wine.

The red bacon meat sold in the market now is a modified method later.

The most traditional bacon is colored by the color of the spices themselves.

Therefore, the meat it cooks is white, only faintly yellowish, not as ruddy as red braised meat. ”

In the live broadcast room, some viewers from Shaanxi Province heard Li Yi's explanation, and they all launched a barrage.

"I asked my dad, the bacon he ate when he was a child was pale in color."

"Brother Yi is okay, there is no pretending to understand if you don't know how to understand, many people from other places think that cured meat is braised meat, and they have to explain for a long time every time."

"In fact, now the cooking techniques in various places are integrating with each other, and the sugar-colored meat buns are also very delicious, and they have to keep pace with the times!"

"Cured meat and braised pork are indeed different, I heard the older generation call it cold meat."

Li Yi saw the barrage in the live broadcast room and nodded in agreement: "Cold meat is a saying in the Warring States Period, when South Korea was located in the Qin-Jin-Henan Triangle, and the locals would make this kind of bacon meat."

Later, after Qin destroyed Korea, the production process spread to Chang'an and has been passed down to the present. ”

The audience who mentioned cold meat, but didn't expect that this name would have such a long history, was also taken aback.

"Handed down from the Warring States? I don't know. ”

"Haha! We are all descendants of the Qin people, and many dialect words are ancient words that have been passed down for thousands of years. ”

"In ancient times, the Guanzhong dialect belonged to the official dialect and was called Yayan, and the "Book of Songs" and "Tang Poems" had to be read in the Guanzhong dialect to have a taste."

"I memorized Jing Ye Si in Guanzhong dialect, it's so funny, haha!"

"You will enter the wine again and see if it is funny?"

While the audience was chatting, Li Yi had already made two more meat buns and handed them to Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Jinmai.

And Wu Lei had already finished eating the meat bun and was licking the soup stained on his fingers.

Seeing that he was still satisfied, Li Yi asked, "Do you want to make another one for you?" ”

"No need."

Wu Lei hurriedly shook his head: "I'll save some stomach and eat fresh meat mooncakes later." ”

"It's really a good eye!"

Li Yi sighed with a smile, and then came to the desk and made himself a meat bun.

He hasn't eaten yet.

There was still a lot of meat left, Li Yi added some more meat filling, scooped another spoonful of soup, poured it on the meat, and took a bite.

Savoring it, he could distinguish the subtle changes in the aroma of oil, meat, braised soup and noodles.

The meat is good meat, and the bun is also a good bun, and the only thing that is almost meaningful is the braised soup.

The newly prepared brine is still incomparable with the old soup in terms of taste, and can only be won by the quality of the meat itself.

Seeing Li Yi eat carefully, Wu Lei couldn't help it.

The meat bun I just ate seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, and I didn't feel it at all.

After hesitating, he still stepped forward and begged: "Brother Yi, you can make another one for me!" ”

"Didn't you stop eating?"

Li Yi smiled and asked: "I'm full of another one, and there will be no place to eat the fresh meat mooncakes when they are ready." ”

"It's okay, I have such an appetite, there's no pressure to eat an extra meat bun."

Wu Lei patted his belly: "At most, you should indulge in a meal, and go back to practice for an hour in the evening!" ”

Aren't you indulging in meals one day? ”

Li Yi smiled and complained, but still helped him make another one.

Maybe the meat bun is too delicious, and after Huang Xiaoming finished eating one, he also asked for another one.

He is still very strict in his control over food, and he is also the one who eats the least when he usually eats.

But today's meat bun is obviously fragrant to him.

After making another one for him, Bai Jibao still had five left.

Li Yi simply made them all into meat buns, stuffed the rest of the meat into them, and gave them to the staff to taste.

He cleaned up the desk and began to prepare the ingredients for making fresh meat mooncakes.
