Dong Haiqiang didn't say anything, just looked at Li Yi's operation.

Regarding the replacement of the stove next to him, Li Yi didn't care at all.

Seeing Dong Haiqiang coming, Li Yi nodded at him with a smile, said hello, and lowered his head and continued to get busy.

He's dealing with scallops.

The dried scallops that Shen Han bought were relatively small, and Li Yi used a knife to cut the edges, and after breaking off the old tendons on the edges, there was not much left.

Wash the scallop meat, put it in a large bowl, add green onions, ginger, cooking wine and water, Li Yi handed the bowl to Xiao Zhang, and let him put it in the steamer to evaporate.

"Pony, go get the chicken soup."

Li Yi boiled a pot of chicken soup yesterday afternoon and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate.

He took a large clay bowl, put it on the bottom with a bamboo grate, wrapped the soaked shark fin in thin gauze, and put it in the clay bowl.

After bringing the chicken soup from the pony and pouring it into the pot, adding rice wine and green onion and ginger, Li Yi put the pot on the stove and burned it over a fire.

Soon, the chicken broth in the bowl was boiled.

Li Yi asked Xiao Guo to turn on the fire in the small stove on the side, brought the tile bowl over, and simmered it over a low fire.

After turning the fire to the minimum, Xiao Guo returned behind Li Yi and couldn't help asking, "This piece of shark fin has a lot of money, right?" ”

Li Yi casually explained while processing the ingredients: "This piece is only half a catty, more than a thousand!" ”

"Shhh

Xiao Guo couldn't help but gasp: "Half a catty is a thousand? That's two thousand for a pound? ”

Xiao Zhang exclaimed: "This small piece of shark fin is worth a month's rent for me!" ”

"This is shark fin, and only emperors could afford to eat it in ancient times."

The pony looks at the shark fin in the bowl and admires.

"It's not that the emperor can afford to eat, but it's really for the rich."

Li Yi said with a smile: "This thing actually has no special effect, it mainly relies on broth, and the nutritious soup is the soup." ”

Xiao Zhang was puzzled: "Then why do you say it's a tonic?" ”

"That's the historical reason."

Li Yi chopped the washed chicken into large pieces, and put it into a pot of boiling water with the chopped elbows: "Eighty percent of shark fin is protein, two percent is fat and sugar, and the three major nutrients are all in place."

In the past, people were malnourished for a long time, so drinking a bowl of shark fin can quickly replenish nutrients, and it can indeed be regarded as a tonic.

Including other supplements, they are also similar, ginseng abalone winged belly, nest palm tendon clams, are high-fat, high-protein ingredients.

People who are suffering from diseases, postpartum pregnant women and other people who are deficient in their bodies can indeed quickly replenish their physical energy after taking these supplements.

However, the dietary conditions of modern people are much stronger than in ancient times, and even ordinary people can consume the three major nutrients very sufficiently, so there is no need to take these supplements in particular. ”

"I see!"

Xiao Zhang suddenly realized: "No wonder I spent more than 1,000 to buy sea cucumbers during the Chinese New Year, and it was useless to eat anything." ”

Xiao Guo on the side teased: "What use do you want?" ”

"Of course it's getting stronger!"

The back kitchen is full of men, and Xiao Zhang jokes unscrupulously: "That thing has thorns on its body, and it looks very fierce." ”

Xiao Guo smiled and asked, "What?" Do you want to complement the form with the form? ”

"Hey, hey!"

Xiao Zhang raised his eyebrows proudly: "If you can make up for that, it's okay!" ”

Liao Wendong appeared behind him, put a card on his head, and scolded with a smile: "Talking nonsense all day long, if you really grow like that, you will be finished!" That's called cauliflower! ”

“……”

Listening to their jokes, Li Yi shook his head helplessly.

These guys really dare to say anything!

"Master, it's the first time I know that our Hunan cuisine can still make shark fin, why haven't you ever done it?"

Xiao Zhang asked Liao Wendong with a smile.

"I want to do it, I have to do it!"

Liao Wendong rolled his eyes.

At this time, Dong Haiqiang, who had always been silent on the side, suddenly asked Li Yi: "Who did you learn this [Group Nunnery Shark Fin]?" ”

Li Yi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Since it is a shark's fin from the group, it must have been learned from the group." ”

When Dong Haiqiang heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He doesn't like hippie smiley, giggling people.

【Kumi-an shark's fin】Derived from Kumi-an cuisine, Tan-gu'an's family banquet.

And Tan Gu'an was already a person more than a hundred years ago, how could Li Yi learn this dish from Tan Gu'an?

Seeing him frowning, Li Yi also retracted his gaze and got busy with himself.

He was not obligated to answer the little old man's questions.

Seeing that Li Yi didn't care about himself, Dong Haiqiang couldn't continue to ask, so he could only return to the stove and deal with his own ingredients.

The dish needs to be simmered for at least four hours, and if you don't have time to deal with it, it's too late.

However, while he was dealing with it, he was also looking towards Li Yi.

However, he found that Li Yi's cooking technique was very professional, which was completely in line with the recipe of this dish, and even more elaborate than he knew.

It's like the chicken soup that Li Yi used to wash shark fins, obviously not only the old hen, but also duck and pig bones, as well as a few other ingredients that he didn't smell.

Before the shark fin is stewed, it is necessary to clean the impurities on it.

But it can't be washed with water, and the grease on it needs to be stewed at high temperature to wash off.

This process of simmering at high temperature is also a good opportunity to feed the base flavor.

Therefore, when cleaning shark fins, they should be stewed in chicken broth to feed the base flavor.

However, the stewed chicken soup will contain impurities washed off the shark fin, so there is no way to drink it, so it can only be discarded.

When Dong Haiqiang was making [Guan shark fin], he always used old hen soup to wash shark fin.

But Li Yi's pot of soup is obviously not just an old hen soup, there are other things in it.

After sniffing it carefully, he still didn't smell the smell of those ingredients, and could only distinguish that they were medicinal herbs.

After hesitating, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Li, did you put medicinal herbs in that pot of chicken soup?" ”

Seeing that he was willing to call Master Li, Li Yi also replied casually: "Ginseng and gastrodia." ”

When Dong Haiqiang heard this, his face, which had been flat, was suddenly a little moved.

Just washing shark fin, can you use such a high-profile soup?

That's a bit too extravagant, isn't it?

It's a chicken and duck bone, and it's ginseng gastrodia, so how high is the cost of this [Kumian shark's fin]?

As if sensing his surprise, Li Yi didn't reply, and explained casually: "Shark fin itself has no taste, wash it with broth, and the bottom taste can be fed more sufficiently."

Washing a piece of shark fin is indeed a bit extravagant, but if dozens of pieces are washed together, it is much more cost-effective. ”

Listening to his description, Dong Haiqiang silently calculated the account.

If fifty pieces of shark fin are washed together, then ten catties of broth will be enough.

The cost of ten catties of broth is only a few hundred yuan, and after apportionment, the cleaning cost of a piece of shark fin is only a dozen yuan, which is indeed not too high.

But this kind of arrogant approach really has nothing to do with the Jianghu faction!

Jianghu pie has always tried to save costs, but it has not tried to increase costs for the sake of a little bit of taste improvement.

This kind of attitude of not treating money as money is not something that a city chef can have.

Li Yi's style has to be an official chef as a foundation.

Could it be that he is the person next to the big leader?

Dong Haiqiang was silent on the surface, but his mind had already turned several times.
