Yang Shaoyue looked at Li Yi stacking back and forth like a quilt, looking a little curious.

So, she reached out and picked up a round puff pastry cut out by Li Yi and looked at it carefully.

The surface of the puff pastry looks flat and there is nothing peculiar about it.

Except that it is a little thicker, it is not much different from dumpling wrappers.

However, when Yang Shaoyue looked at its side, he suddenly exclaimed: "Wow! It's amazing! ”

Zhao Jinmai came over curiously: "What's wrong?" ”

"Look!"

Yang Shaoyue pointed to the side of the puff pastry, and saw that on the cross-section of the puff pastry, you could clearly see the horizontal lines, just like the side of the book.

The water and oil surface, which is rolled out very thinly, is as thin as paper, stacked on top of each other, layer upon layer, but layer by layer.

"It's amazing!"

Yang Shaoyue exclaimed: "I thought it was rolled together!" It's actually layered! ”

"Really!"

Zhao Jinmai also saw it clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so even!" Layer upon layer! ”

Hearing their words, the rocket girls on the side all came over and looked curiously.

Chef Cai pointed the camera at the puff pastry that Li Yi put on the desk and took a close-up.

In the close-up, the audience in the live broadcast room also saw the side cross-section of the puff pastry.

Seeing the layers of puff pastry as thin as paper, the audience was also amazed, and the barrage flew.

"Wow! It's really layered! It's amazing! ”

"I thought it was the effect of the show, but I didn't expect it to be so magical!"

"These stars are really good at acting, and they are all like this...... Magical?! ”

"Before watching: It's too fake.

After watching: What the hell is this? ”

"How can you roll it out so evenly? It feels like a machine made of it. ”

"Ordinary machines are not as fine as manual work, this is real kung fu!"

"What a cow beep! I thought it was rolled out into a whole piece, but I didn't expect it to be layered! ”

Seeing a group of girls shouting and looking at the puff pastry, Liu Yifei also wanted to see it, but because of the inconvenience of her legs and feet, she couldn't get up.

Suddenly, a piece of puff pastry was handed to her.

She looked up, but it was Li Yi who handed it over.

Li Yi smiled, didn't speak, turned around and handed the mold in his hand to Zhao Jinmai, and ordered: "You and Yifei come to get the puff pastry!" Just like I did, I'm going to have to make lotus paste stuffing. ”

"Oh, okay."

Zhao Jinmai took the mold and smiled at Liu Yifei: "I'll come!" ”

As she spoke, she picked up the puff pastry piece by piece along the spot where Li Yi had just taken it.

After Yang Shaoyue and the others were amazed, they all returned to the basin and continued to make dry puff pastry.

Liu Yifei sat in a wheelchair, watched Zhao Jinmai take the puff pastry, pushed the wheelchair, came to her, and helped her stack the puff pastry together.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai turned around and smiled: "It's good for me to come!" It's okay, you can rest for a while! ”

Liu Yifei paused and put the puff pastry back.

Pushing the wheelchair back a few steps, she watched Zhao Jinmai busy working, and then looked at Yang Shaoyue who was talking and laughing and rubbing the dry puff pastry, and her eyes fell and fell on her feet wrapped in gauze.

She looked stunned, in a trance.

Suddenly, a figure approached her, blocking the light and circling behind her.

The wheelchair turned, and Li Yi's voice came: "No, I can't be busy alone, and I have to help you." ”

Liu Yifei glanced back at him, said "oh", lowered her head, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Pushing Liu Yifei to the desk next to the stove, Li Yi put her away, went to the storage room, and put a bag of lotus seeds on the desk.

"What is this?"

Liu Yifei looked at the red lotus seeds in the packaging bag and was a little puzzled.

"Lotus seeds."

Li Yi explained as he turned on the faucet next to the cauldron on the stove and poured water into the pot.

"Lotus seeds?"

Liu Yifei asked in surprise: "Aren't lotus seeds white?" ”

"That's the peeled lotus seeds, this is the unrefined dried lotus seeds, which have a more aromatic aroma and better stickiness than the refined ones."

Turn on the stove, turn it to the maximum, let the water boil, Li Yi cut the bag of lotus seeds with a knife.

Liu Yifei's angle just happened to see the origin on the bag, and she whispered: "Xiangtan? Is this the lotus seed of Xiangtan? ”

"Yes."

Li Yi explained: "To make lotus paste filling, it is best to use Xiangtan lotus seeds that are no more than 1 year old.

Xiangtan lotus seeds are large and full, the lotus flavor is fragrant, and the quality of the lotus seed is relatively high. ”

As he spoke, he put the wok into the pot and stirred the water in the pot, allowing the hot water near the bottom of the pot to merge with the cold water above, accelerating the temperature rise.

The stove boiled water quickly, and after a while, the water in the pot was boiled and boiled.

Seeing this, Li Yi directly poured the whole bag of lotus seeds into the pot.

Then, he went to get a bag of edible soda again, dug out a few spoonfuls, and poured them into the pot.

"What is this doing?"

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"Peel the lotus seeds."

Li Yi explains: "The thin wall between the peel and pulp of lotus seeds is mainly a meso-layer cell composed of pectin and other substances.

Under the action of high-temperature lye, this colloidal layer will dissolve, and the peel will easily fall off. ”

"Can it still be like this?"

Liu Yifei was surprised.

"It's very common."

Li Yi said with a smile: "In the food factory, canned food is peeled with lye, so how much effort does it take to peel apples, peaches, and pears by hand?" ”

"It's amazing."

Liu Yifei suddenly thought of something and asked: "In ancient times, when lotus seeds were peeled, this was also the case?" Do you use the kind of ash alkali water you said? ”

"yes, do you remember?"

Li Yi smiled and nodded: "That kind of water is called Scoop Water, but now it is not allowed to be used, only edible alkali is used." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the lotus seeds in the pot with a frying spoon.

When the lotus seeds are added to the water, the water in the pot is quickly turned black, as if it has been turned into a soy sauce stew.

turned off the heat, Li Yi covered the pot and let the lotus seeds simmer.

It took fifteen minutes to simmer, Li Yi covered the pot, and went to get another bag of dried red dates.

After boiling a pot of boiling water again, Li Yi cleaned and blanched the red dates while chatting with Liu Yifei: "Do you like to eat lotus paste filling or jujube paste filling?" ”

"I like them all."

Liu Yifei snuggled up to the back of the chair, watched Li Yi busy, and said with a smile: "But I haven't eaten a particularly delicious lotus paste filling, the lotus paste egg yolk is okay, but I have eaten the jujube paste filling is very delicious." ”

"Lotus seed paste stuffing is rarely done well, and there are more pretends, some people use winter melon to dope, and it will definitely not taste as good as pure lotus seed paste.

The lotus paste filling is known as the king of vegetarian fillings in pastries, and the well-done lotus paste filling tastes very sweet.

Red dates are also adulterated, but the taste of red dates is stronger, and it is easier to eat and fool.

However, the pure jujube paste filling is also very delicious, and in the northern pastry, the status of jujube paste is very high, and it belongs to the introductory flavor type that must be learned in the northern white case. ”

As Li Yi spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of scalded red dates, put them in a basin, and brought them to Liu Yifei.

took a one-handed rolling stick from the wooden box, Li Yi took a red date, put it on the board and knocked it a few times, knocked it flat, and then gently broke it, and the jujube core inside was exposed.

"Look, that's how the date pits are taken out."

Li Yi handed her the rolling rod and explained: "Your task is to help me take out all these jujube pits." ”

"yes, okay."

Liu Yifei took the rolling stick, followed Li Yi's example, and picked up the jujube pit.

It is not difficult to take the jujube core, only a few are taken, and Liu Yifei will get started.

Da-da-da-da!

The rolling stick in her hand struck the jujube pit, and the sound was very regular.

Wow!

Li Yi poured another bag of red dates into the pot, cleaned and blanched them.

Liu Yifei glanced up at him, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

She kept in her hands, and there was an indiscernible smile on the corner of her mouth.

She suddenly felt that this was quite warm.
