"Brother Yi, the bear's paw is here."

Wu Lei took the soup bucket and sent it to Li Yi.

Hearing his words, in the live broadcast room, many viewers made jokes and launched a barrage.

"What? Paws? ”

"Is it a real bear's paw?"

"Hello? Is the police a man? I'm going to report that there are people here who eat bear paws. ”

"Bears are so cute, why do you eat bear's paws?"

After Zhao Weizhuo, who was cutting the pig's arch mouth, heard it, he also joked to Xiong Xinxin: "Brother Xin, be careful when you cut, be careful of your bear paws." ”

"Believe it or not, I'll give you a slap?"

Xiong Xinxin scolded with a smile.

They were also helping with the preparation of ingredients two days ago, and they all knew that the bear paw that Li Yi said was actually pig's trotters.

Bear's paw is one of the eight treasures in ancient times, and it is also the most famous one among the eight treasures.

The sentence in "Mencius" "Fish, I do what I want; The bear's paw is also what I want, and I can't have both, and the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw. The preciousness of the bear's paw was successfully engraved in the depths of the memory of future generations.

When King Chu Cheng was dying, he still wanted to eat bear's paws again, "although he died, he didn't hate".

But like elephant paws, bear paws are also a forbidden ingredient and can no longer be cooked.

However, like elephant paws, bear paws can also be replaced with pig's trotters to make imitation dishes, and you can also eat the feeling of bear paws.

Li Yi opened the plastic wrap wrapped around the outside of the soup bucket, lifted the lid of the soup bucket, and a rich fragrance of Huadiao wine gushed out.

Wu Lei got closer, sniffed it, and immediately turned red.

This high concentration of alcohol vapor is very easy to get on the head, and people with poor alcohol consumption may get drunk after smelling it.

Smelling the aroma of wine, Dai Long also came close and glanced into the soup bucket.

There is a layer of oil floating above the braised soup in the soup bucket, and in the black braised soup below, crimson pig's trotters are soaked in it, looming.

Sniffing the wine, Dai Long nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The bear's paw is to use flower carving, and you must be willing to use it." ”

"Yes."

Li Yi responded: "If you don't let it go, you can't suppress that fishy smell." ”

Dai Long was stunned when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Have you ever made a bear's paw?" ”

"Nope."

Li Yi immediately denied it: "That's what I read in the book. ”

Long before he was born, black bears were listed as protected animals and were banned from being traded.

If he says he's ever done a bear's paw, then there's really something wrong.

Hearing his explanation, Dai Long didn't ask much.

Li Yi's age is placed here, and it is impossible to be a bear's paw.

"I've ever been a bear's paw."

Dai Long said with a smile: "When I was young, I worked as a chef in a hotel in Southeast Asia, and it was no problem to make bear's paws there.

It is very troublesome to deal with bear paws, you have to send it first, then steam, pluck the hair, peel the skin and remove the bones, and then stew it over low heat until the gum is stewed, so you must order it at least a week in advance to eat. ”

Listening to his narration, Wu Lei on the side swallowed his saliva and couldn't help asking: "That bear paw... Is it tasty? What exactly does it taste like? ”

His question also aroused the curiosity of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Although I don't have much interest in eating, I do have a little curiosity, I heard that bear paws can stick teeth down, is it true?"

"Actually, it's the taste of pig's trotters, maybe not as delicious as pig's trotters!"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you can still eat bear's paws before the 80s! Bear's paws are much thicker than pig's trotters. ”

"That has to be the right forefoot of the wild bear blind, the bear blind man survives by licking the right palm in winter, and the saliva of the blind bear will penetrate into the right palm, making the right palm fatter, so the right palm is the most expensive."

"And what if the bear is left-handed?"

"This bear's paw tastes like fat, but it's not so greasy, and it's like the rotten tendon of a thick-lipped fish.

But there is one piece, you must wipe your face with a hot hand towel after eating, otherwise your mouth will be glued and you won't be able to open it. ”

"Braided Liu: Just hair it for two whole days, plucking it for a whole day, simmering it on a low fire for two days and one night, I don't dare to close my eyes, I'm afraid it will burn dry."

"I heard that in the neon country, it is legal to eat bear paws, are there many bears in the neon country?"

"The Neon Nation is not a lot of bears, it's to protect the local aboriginal hunters.

There is a traditional winter hunter in the Neon Country, called Youoni.

They are the Ainu people, the indigenous people of Neon Country, who live mainly in the Shirakami mountain forests between Aomori and Akita prefectures.

They make a living from farming and hunting, and live in small villages in mountain beech forests.

They engage in agriculture in the spring and summer, and hunt bears in the forest in groups in the winter and early spring.

In modern times, they still have a tradition of hunting, but they have given up hunting serows, but they continue to hunt bears.

They have a quota for hunting bears, and they can hunt thousands of bears every year, and the bear's paws eaten by Neon come from the bears they hunt. ”

"! Big guy cow beep! ”

"And this kind of thing? When I have money, I'll go to the neon country for a bear's paw. ”

"A bear's paw seems to cost five or six thousand."

"Sorry to interrupt me."

Dai Long looked at the barrage on the display screen, smiled, and then raised his hand and pointed to the pig's trotters in the soup bucket: "The taste of bear's paws is very similar to pig's trotters, but eating them is not as enjoyable as pig's trotters, so it's not cost-effective." ”

Li Yi fished the pig's trotters with a colander and did not speak.

Dai Long is a human spirit and knows what to say on what occasions.

This is in China, and he will definitely not say what the bear's paw tastes like, only how it tastes.

But children know that the reason why those rare ingredients are listed as treasures is naturally unique.

There is no difference between the taste of the ancients and modern people, and it is natural to distinguish what is delicious and what is not.

It's just that those ingredients were rare and expensive in ancient times, and they are even rarer today.

It is absolutely reasonable for the state to introduce laws to protect species diversity.

But when it comes to taste, bear's paws and pig's trotters are indeed different.

The taste of lamb and pork is completely different, not to mention bear meat?

Bear's paw does have the special taste of bears themselves, but when cooking, in order to suppress this fishy smell, a large amount of rice wine and spices need to be used to remove the fishy flavor and enhance the flavor.

So when you eat it, the taste itself is already very light, and it is more of a wine aroma.

This kind of dish cooked with a lot of spices is really not that different.

If cooked in the same way, the taste of bear's paw can reach 95 points, and the taste of pig's trotters can definitely reach 85 points.

But this 10-point gap represents 1 in 1,000, 1 in 10,000 in terms of acquisition, hundreds or thousands of times the price difference, and irreparably high costs.

So compared to the two, eating bear's paws is definitely not worth the loss now.

Even if it is legal, it is not cost-effective to spend a bear's paw to buy hundreds of pig's trotters.

Unless one day the bear farming industry becomes developed and the price is lowered, maybe bear paws will be on the table of every household like other meats.

However, even one day, Li Yi would rather eat pig's trotters than bear paws.

Because as Dai Long said, making bear's paws is a trouble, and you have to have experience, otherwise you can't deal with it cleanly.

Besides, he does it alone, and eats it with a bunch of people, rely on!

With that effort, stew a few pots of pig's feet, and dozens of people are full, so why waste that time?
