The work pressure of the back kitchen is with the front hall, as long as the front hall has constant guests, the back kitchen can not stop.

Fortunately, Li Yi did sufficient preparation, and one-third of the dishes were processed in advance, and only a little processing was needed to serve the dishes, which saved a lot of time.

However, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yi ushered in a hard job.

There are really guests who ordered the [Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea] with a price of 88,888 yuan.

After hearing the name of the dish reported by Liu Yifei, Li Yi went directly to the front hall and found the guest who ordered the food.

The diners who ordered this dish were several middle-aged women, all of whom were holding Zhang Guorong's records, and they were all fans of Zhang Guorong.

After Li Yi saw them, he reminded them, saying that the dish [Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea] is purely a knife dish that tests the chef's carving skills, but the taste is indeed nothing unusual, it is tofu flavor.

And the middle-aged women also said that they were not here to eat this dish.

They were to thank the program team for being able to commemorate Zhang Guorong in the program group, so they specially ordered the most expensive dish on the menu to express their gratitude.

After hearing their words, Li Yi was a little helpless.

They thanked the program team, he was tired!

But the menu is set by him, and it is impossible for him not to do it when someone orders it.

The so-called "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" is an allusion to the eight immortals crossing the sea carved out of pieces of tofu.

For this dish, the base must first be carved out of a whole plate of tofu, and then the shape of the eight immortals is carved out with eight pieces of tofu, which are combined together.

Even with Li Yi's knife work, if you want to carve this dish, you can't get it down without an hour or two.

And the reason why Li Yi set the price of this dish so high is also to avoid too many customers ordering this dish, otherwise he would not be able to do it at all.

But in the end, someone still ordered this dish.

At such a high price, everyone buys it, so Li Yi has nothing to say, so he can only go back to the kitchen and make it.

After handing over the preparation of other dishes to Dai Long, Li Yi took out the prepared tofu.

Fortunately, Dai Long is here today, otherwise he would really be too busy.

Dai Long has already seen the practices of other dishes on the menu.

For a top chef like Dai Long, you can basically learn almost everything after watching it.

The ingredients and side dishes are ready-made, and you just need to make them step by step, and there is no difficulty.

Therefore, Li Yi concentrated on carving the [Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea].

brought a new stainless steel basin, filled it with pure water, and Li Yi put a whole plate of tofu into it.

Then, he took a carving knife, reached into the water, and carved it on the tofu quickly.

The film crew arranged a separate camera to shoot Li Yi's carving, and many viewers in the live broadcast room watched with interest, guessing who Li Yi was carving.

"From this point of view, it's a bit like He Xiangu!"

"It's obviously Tie Guan Li, don't you see that arc? It must be the wine gourd of Tie Guan Li. ”

"This tip must be the tip of Lu Dongbin's sword."

"Is this side of the arc a lotus leaf? It can't be Lan Caihe's flower basket, right? ”

The audience had a heated discussion, but after Li Yi carved the tofu board out of the water, the audience realized that Li Yi was carving the surface of the East China Sea, and those waves, arcs, and hooks were all tumbling waves.

For a while, the live broadcast room was full of speechless "......", complaining for a while.

After placing the base of the East China Sea into another basin of clear water, Li Yi took a piece of tofu and continued to carve it.

As his knife flew like a fly, a graceful beauty appeared in his hand.

Seeing the beauty appear, the audience suddenly became excited again.

"It's He Xiangu!"

"Wow! It's beautiful! ”

"This carver! That's awesome! ”

"Even the details of the skirt are so strong? That's too 6, right? ”

"Can you make a figure? I really want to get into one. ”

"Look at the eyebrows and eyes a bit like Yifei?"

After carving He Xiangu, Li Yi put her on the pedestal in the clear water basin on the side.

The groove specially carved by Li Yi happened to be stuck on a wave, and it looked like He Xiangu was riding the wind and waves.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room was excited, and the rainbow farts continued.

"Handsome!"

"Precision docking! This craftsmanship is comparable to high-precision machine tools, haha! ”

"Oh! Sister who rides the wind and waves! ”

"It's really a bit like Yifei!"

Soon, one after another statues of the Eight Immortals appeared in Li Yi's hands.

There is Lu Dongbin, a pure yang real person who steps on a sword and rides the wind, Zhang Guolao who rides a donkey upside down, and Tie Guan Li who carries a gourd on crutches, each statue is vivid and lifelike.

After Li Yi fixed the positions of the Eight Immortals, the overall shape suddenly amazed the audience in the entire live broadcast room.

"Wow! It's so pretty! ”

"It's a work of art, right? Who wants to eat? ”

"It's really collectible, Brother Yi can find a piece of jade and carve it out!"

"It does look like a mutton fat jade carving, absolutely amazing!"

"Does that crutch really have a fixed effect? It's made of tofu! If he breaks, will he fall? ”

"Don't try it casually, it's the treasure that Tie Guan Li dedicated to the Jade Emperor, after breaking it, he will walk like a fly, what if he runs away?"

The audience ridiculed, but it was difficult to hide their envy.

After Wu Lei and a few people brought this dish to the front hall, it immediately aroused the admiration of the diners in the front hall.

Everyone took out their phones and filmed the shape of the dish, amazed.

The middle-aged sisters who ordered this dish also smiled from ear to ear, and repeatedly said that the dish was worth it.

After sending this dish out, Li Yi immediately deleted the [Eight Immortals Across the Sea] on the menu.

It took him an hour and a half to carve this one alone, and if he ordered another one, he wouldn't have the time and energy to carve another one.

In the end, the middle-aged sisters were not willing to taste this dish, but after taking pictures, they left it in the restaurant as it was, and then left.

Seeing them leaving, Yuan Yongyi rushed to the back kitchen, found Li Yi and asked, "They don't want that [Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea], can you give it to me?" ”

"What do you want it for?"

Li Yi was puzzled: "Do you want to eat?" ”

"If you don't eat it, I'll take it back and see it."

Yuan Yongyi praised: "I like its shape so much, it looks good." ”

Li Yi shook his head: "It's only temporary, tofu will lose water, it won't survive tonight, it will collapse, even if it survives tonight, it will be rancid." ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Yongyi was very disappointed: "Why can't such a beautiful thing be kept for a longer time?" ”

"Yes! It's like youth. ”

Li Yi sighed softly.

"Youth? I! How old are you? Yes! I'm going to you off! ”

Yuan Yongyi almost didn't come up in one breath, and glared at Zhong Zhentao, who came in with a plate on the side, and then turned around and ran back to the front hall to take a group photo with [Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea].

Zhong Zhentao looked innocent: "What's wrong?" ”

"You're so handsome! Chic brother. ”

Li Yi smiled and joked, and then greeted: "Just put it in the dishwasher." ”

Without exception, the tableware was eaten cleanly, and there were no leftovers, so it could be washed directly in the dishwasher.

Before I knew it, it was half past six in the afternoon, and the front hall had finally sent off the last table of guests.

Today's business is finally over.
