"My grandmother's house boils lard during the New Year."

Zhao Jinmai looked at the cauldron that Wu Lei was scrubbing hard, and sighed: "At that time, the whole family went into battle together, and they boiled several pots every time.

My grandmother usually cooks at home with my grandfather, uses less oil, boils lard once, and can eat until next summer.

My mom always advised my grandma not to stay up so much, but she always wouldn't listen. ”

Listening to her description, Li Yi reminded: "Although lard can be stored for a long time, it is best not to eat lard that has been left for too long."

It's best to stay up once a week, not for more than a month. ”

Zhao Jinmai nodded: "Well, I'll ask my mother to show your slice video to grandma when I go back." ”

Hearing her say this, Li Yi also nodded and put his mind at ease.

"Brother Yi, it's done."

Wu Lei put the cauldron on the stove and turned back to report to Li Yi.

He wiped his hands and searched left and right, "What else do you have to do for me?" ”

After seeing Banyouding, he was reluctant to sit now, and he was looking for work to do.

Seeing this, Li Yi signaled: "You go and take out my stone mill, and grind the bag of glutinous rice later." ”

"This is good, this is good."

Wu Lei rushed to the storage room to move the stone mill.

Li Yi took a basin of water, poured it into the pot, and opened the fire to burn.

When the water boiled slightly, Li Yi poured the washed plate oil into the pot.

Zhao Jinmai was surprised: "Do you want to cook it directly?" ”

"It's not boiling, it's water refining."

Li Yi explained: "Lard refined with water will contain a certain amount of water.

If there is moisture, it will have an emulsifying effect, so the finished product will be whiter and softer after condensation. ”

"Huh? But my grandmother fried it in oil! ”

Zhao Jinmai was a little puzzled: "I remember that she was all added to the pot little by little, scooping it out while frying it." ”

"That's the oil refining method."

Li Yi cut the cleaned ginger that Liu Yifei had scraped and washed into thick slices, grabbed a handful of peppercorns and put them in the pot: "The oil refined by the oil refining method will be more fragrant and pure."

But because there is less moisture, it will turn yellow after condensation, and the color is not very good-looking.

However, it is also because of the lack of moisture, and it can be stored for a longer time.

I want to use this pot of oil to make pastries, and it will be better to refine the oil with water, and it will not affect the color of the noodles and puff pastry.

I will use oil refining in the next pot, which is used to adjust the filling, frying oil, and can also be used for stir-frying in the later stage. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Jinmai realized: "No wonder my grandmother's boiled lard can be stored for so long, it turns out that the oil refining method is used." ”

As he spoke, Wu Lei had already brought out the stone mill.

After setting up the stone mill, he opened the glutinous rice bag, dug out a pot of glutinous rice from it, and began to grind it.

He grinds so hard that it doesn't look like he's working, but rather playing.

Li Yi heard the sound of the stone mill snoring, looked back, and reminded with a smile: "You take it easy, don't be tired and sweat." ”

"It's okay!"

Wu Lei disagreed: "It's only comfortable to sweat a little!" ”

Li Yi shook his head: "I mean, don't sweat and fall into the glutinous rice noodles, then you won't be able to eat it." ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

Wu Lei shrugged his shoulders and slowed down.

In front of the stove, Li Yi also unhurriedly pushed the diced oil in the pot with a frying spoon to prevent them from sticking to the pan.

As the water was boiled dry little by little, the noise in the pot gradually became louder.

At this time, Li Yi took some cinnamon and bay leaves, put them in the pot, and turned them together.

Soon, the diced oil in the pan began to come out.

Seeing the oil, Li Yi took a bottle of white vinegar, poured a small half spoon, and poured it into the pot.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but ask curiously: "Do you need to add white vinegar to boil lard?" ”

Li Yi casually explained: "Adding a little bit can dissolve the greasy feeling of lard, and it will be more oily when you eat it." ”

"That's the secret!"

Huang Xiaoming smiled at the camera and said: "If you want to boil lard at home, you can try it!" ”

Hearing him say this, Li Yi also looked at the lens of his glasses and reminded: "It's okay to put a little less, but not too much, otherwise the taste will be weird." ”

In the live broadcast room, barrages flew.

"Ahh Damn it! This is my exclusive secret ingredient! Brother Yi, how did you say that? ”

"You are not allowed to learn, I have to learn, go back and open a store."

"Just go to school!"

"Brother Yi can simply open a factory to sell lard, I will definitely buy it."

"People have tens of thousands of yuan for a dish, and they can see the little money from selling lard?"

"I can see it, does anyone buy it?"

"I also have a secret, that is, add some white wine when it comes out of the pot, after boiling, the oil will be whiter and more fragrant."

Seeing the secret shared by the audience, Li Yi smiled approvingly: "Thank you for the secret shared by this audience, I'll try it for you later." ”

Laughing, there is already a lot of oil in the pan.

The oil cubes floated on the surface of the oil, sizzling.

If there is a sound, it means that the fire is too big, Li Yi turned off the stove to a slight state, and continued to stir with a frying spoon.

As the oil underneath is boiled, the oil becomes smaller and smaller, and the appearance gradually changes color and begins to turn yellowish.

Seeing that the diced oil had shrunk to one-fifth of its original size, and its appearance had turned into a brown brown like fried chicken, Li Yi took a colander and fished them out.

This kind of plate oil that has been squeezed dry is oil residue.

Scooping up the oil residue, Li Yi squeezed the oil with a frying spoon to fry, trying to squeeze the oil inside dry.

"Plates."

Huang Xiaoming on Li Yichong's side ordered.

When Huang Xiaoming heard this, he hurriedly brought a clean plate over and put it next to Li Yi.

After draining the oil, Li Yi poured the oil residue into the plate with his backhand, along with the scooped up residue.

The oil residue that had been fried and dried fell on the plate, making a light sound of hard objects colliding, like puffed food.

Glancing at Zhao Jinmai and them, Li Yi still didn't speak.

He wanted to ask them if they would eat the oil residue, which was mixed with some sugar or barbecue sauce, and it tasted very fragrant.

But correspondingly, it's also high in calories.

Listening to Wu Lei's whirring and grinding breathing, Li Yi decided not to add pressure to Liu Yifei and the others.

When you turn around, you can wrap these oil residues into buns and give them to the staff to eat.

The staff does not have to worry about body anxiety and can eat a little more.

Thinking about it, he looked back at Master Cai behind the camera and smiled slightly.

When Master Cai saw his smile, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he couldn't help but shudder.

Li Yi's smile seemed like he wanted to do something bad!

After taking a clean porcelain basin, Li Yi scooped out the lard in the pot with a frying spoon and poured it into the porcelain basin.

"I'll do it!"

Seeing Li Yi pick up the wok and pour the remaining oil in the pot into the basin, Huang Xiaoming wanted to come up and help serve it.

But when Li Yi saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't move!" ”

His voice was a little loud, and Huang Xiaoming was stunned and a little puzzled.

Li Yi put down the pot and pointed to the porcelain basin to explain: "You are serving it now, your hands are blistering, your feet are blistering, this oil is now nearly 200 degrees, it is much more scalding than boiling water, and the porcelain basin conducts heat very quickly, don't touch it." ”
