"Learned."

Lin Yilun couldn't help but nod in admiration: "It's the first time I've known that there are so many kinds of fermentation bacteria in tempeh. ”

In the live broadcast room, there are also barrages.

"Shocked! The ancestor of natto turned out to be tempeh in your province! ”

"It's also the first time I've known that there are so many different types of tempeh."

"Good guy, it turns out that Brother Yi usually teaches us entry-level knowledge, communicates with peers, and talks about how to make different kinds of tempeh."

"Where did Brother Yi go to communicate with his peers? How did I not know? ”

"I only know that the tempeh in Hunan Province is made of black beans, but the soybeans in Yunnan-Guichuan are made of soybeans."

"The people of your province testify that the tempeh in our province really has a special aroma, and the tempeh from other places can't taste that taste at all."

Li Yi had already put all the tempeh into the pot and stir-fried it.

As he stir-fried and fried the lard, the special aroma of the tempeh became clearer.

Smelling this smell, even Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, who had been smoked away, came back curiously and looked into the pot.

Li Yi pointed to the tempeh in the pot and explained: "This aroma is the unique aroma of tempeh fermented with Bacillus subtilis, and tempeh in other regions does not have this taste."

However, this kind of tempeh has a disadvantage, that is, the yield is relatively low and the efficiency is slow.

It needs to be wrapped in local tempeh leaves for fermentation, which is also a necessary process to add flavor to it.

But this tempeh grass is wild and not cultivated on a large scale.

Therefore, this relatively harsh raw material standard limits its production capacity, so that the tempeh in your province cannot be fermented directly in the fermentation tank and mass-produced like moldy tempeh.

As a result, the local tempeh in your province can't keep up with the growing demand for raw materials from Lao Gan Ma.

Now the tempeh used by Lao Gan Ma is either purchased from the Shan Cheng Tempeh Factory, or the tempeh produced by her own sauce factory.

But even its own tempeh uses a moldy production process, and it doesn't have the taste of local tempeh in your province. ”

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized, and their doubts disappeared.

"It turned out to be a problem with tempeh!"

"I'll just say there's nothing wrong with my sense of taste! Obviously, the old godmother in the past was so delicious, even if there was a childhood filter, it couldn't be so bad! ”

"Your people testify! What Brother Yi said is true! My grandmother used a kind of tempeh leaf when she made tempeh! ”

"Got it! I just said why the old godmother was so delicious in the past, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, and now it is a salty tempeh flavor, which can't be compared at all! ”

Lin Yilun was also refreshed by Li Yi's explanation, and asked in surprise: "There is such a thing as tempeh leaves?" What kind of leaf is it? ”

Stir-frying the tempeh in the pot, Li Yi explained: "Its scientific name is Xisun, which is a plant of the genus Iris in the iris family.

Its rhizome is a Chinese medicinal material, the name is tempeh grass, which can eliminate the accumulation of water, invigorate blood and regulate menstruation, so it is also called Tongjing grass.

The local people in your province generally call it flat bamboo roots, which generally grow on the edge of bamboo forests, and there are relatively shady places.

Its leaves look more like enlarged bamboo leaves, and it will also bloom, and the flower color is white and purple, which is still very beautiful. ”

"Suck the grandson? I'll make a note, which one sucks, which grandson? ”

Lin Yilun took out his mobile phone and opened the notepad to remember.

"The brook of the stream, the sun of the bamboo sun."

Li Yi said, while serving the fried glutinous chili peppers, scooping them up with a frying spoon, pouring them into the oil pot, and stir-frying them together.

"Xi~Sun, remember."

Lin Yilun put away his mobile phone and exclaimed: "I really live to learn all the time, I didn't expect there to be such a thing." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Huh?" So if this tempeh leaf is so easy to use as tempeh, then why not grow it on a large scale?

Lao Gan Ma has to buy tens of thousands of tons of tempeh every year, how many tempeh leaves do you have to use?

If planting is promoted locally, won't it also generate income for farmers? ”

Li Yi stir-fried tempeh and chili peppers, and explained casually: "As I just said, the production capacity of this kind of tempeh is not enough, and there is no way to produce it on a large scale.

If it is a moldy tempeh, after making the koji, it can be directly filled into the fermentation tank for fermentation, ten tons of fermentation tanks, and there is no need to care about anything during the period.

But if you use this traditional method, you have to keep the ventilation in the black bean leaves, and you can't put it in the fermenter, otherwise the leaves will rot and the tempeh will be wasted.

If you want to keep it ventilated, you have to use a traditional rack, how many tempeh can you put on the shelf?

A fermentation tank occupies an area of several square meters, and if it is replaced with a shelf, it will have to use hundreds of square meters, and the cost will have to be doubled several times.

If the cost is high, the price of the product will have to rise, but now Lao Gan Ma sells it for more than a dozen yuan a bottle, and many consumers already feel that it is expensive.

The old godmother changed the chili pepper for this reason.

Local shrimp chili peppers cost more than a dozen yuan a catty, but with chili peppers from Henan Province or Western Regions Province, the cost can be controlled at seven or eight yuan a catty, which can save nearly half of the cost.

If you make it according to the original recipe, the price of Lao Gan Ma will be at least 30 yuan a bottle.

Thirty yuan a bottle of old godmother, consumers want to scold their mother. ”

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, there was a barrage on the display.

"Thirty dollars old godmother! That's a luxury! ”

"Back then, my godmother sold it for five yuan, and I thought it was expensive, and I couldn't afford thirty yuan."

"Good guy, I didn't expect that I would have a day when I couldn't afford to eat my old godmother."

"The old godmother who has a bottle of more than a dozen yuan, I really don't want to eat it, my mouth is heavy, and I have to eat half a bottle of noodles once, and I feel distressed to eat."

"If it really sells for thirty yuan, then I might as well go out and eat a bowl of noodles, a bowl of noodles outside is only fifteen, there are vegetables and meat, and I am full."

"In fact, if I can really make the taste of the year, I will buy a bottle of 30 yuan, but I will definitely not eat it often, and I will have to eat a bottle a week, and it will cost 12, which is enough to pay a month's electricity bill."

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Lin Yilun couldn't help but sigh: "It's still a cost problem!" There are a lot of good things, but because of the cost, it's a shame that they disappear......"

As he spoke, the aroma of tempeh mixed with chili peppers gradually spread in the pot.

Smelling this smell, Lin Yilun couldn't help but get closer, sniffed it carefully, and then said in surprise: "Huh? Don't say it! It's a bit similar to the old godmother back then! But you have lard in this sauce, which is much more fragrant than Lao Gan Ma. ”

Soon, the fragrance gradually spread, and Linghua was also attracted by the fragrance.

Approaching the pot, she sniffed the flavor of the bottom of the tempeh pot in the pot and exclaimed, "Yes! Particularly like! It's so feeling! When I was selling electrical appliances in a shopping mall, when I ate fried noodles at noon, I liked to eat them with my old godmother.

Ah! This taste suddenly brought me back to the old days! ”

Hearing her admiration, Lin Yilun suddenly thought of something, and as soon as his expression moved, he asked Li Yi, "Eh?" Li Yi, why don't we make a sauce of chili tempeh? I'll invest in it, and you will sell this kind of hot sauce with this taste, what do you think? ”
