In the front hall, Yuan Yongyi, who had been busy all day, sat on a chair and hammered her legs: "I'm so tired, it's really hard to be a waiter, I must tip the waiter more when I go out to eat in the future, alas, my legs are so sore..."

In the back kitchen, Li Yi was still busy in front of the stove.

He's preparing tonight's staff meal.

He also prepared the ingredients for the staff meals in advance, and the same processing did not take much time.

Coupled with Dai Long's help, half an hour later, a table of sumptuous dishes was brought to the front hall.

After seeing the food, Yuan Yongyi's eyes were shining, and after picking up the chopsticks, he stared at the [Sea Dragon Pearl] closest to him, swallowing his saliva.

But she didn't lose her mind after all, holding the chopsticks and not using her hands.

On behalf of the program, Huang Xiaoming made a speech to welcome the flying guests and food connoisseur Dai Long, and thank everyone for their help.

After he finished speaking, Yuan Yongyi couldn't wait to ask, "Can you eat it?" ”

Huang Xiaoming, who is from Lu Province, looked at Dai Long, the oldest person on the table, and greeted with a smile: "Teacher Dai, you move the chopsticks first!" ”

Hearing this, Yuan Yongyi's outstretched chopsticks shrank back again, and he looked at him with a resentful face, and a hungry spirit was about to float out of his back.

Dai Long picked up the knife and cut the belly of the [Yellow Croaker in Soup], causing the soup in the yellow croaker's belly to gush out, and then put down the knife and greeted: "Eat it all, I'm hungry too." ”

Yuan Yongyi waited for this sentence, and when she heard this, she directly stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a fish ball, and stuffed it into her mouth.

When the fish balls of the Q bomb are bitten, the juice gushes out.

Tasting this taste, Yuan Yongyi's tears almost soared.

"It's delicious..."

She muttered vaguely, and the chopsticks in her hand had already reached for the [Rich Elephant].

Dai Long looked at the table full of delicacies, looked around, and then his eyes fell on [Treading Snow and Finding Bears].

Of the dishes full of dishes, he was the most curious about the texture and taste of this dish.

So, he patiently waited for [Treading Snow to Find the Bear] to turn in front of him, then picked up the spoon and scooped it towards the "bear paw".

The spoon sliced into the "bear's paw" covered with fish roe, and as he had observed before, there was almost no obvious obstruction, and the spoon sliced into the "bear's paw".

That's how it feels... With a hint of expectation in Dai Long's eyes, he dug it gently, and a crystal clear, jelly-like "bear paw" was dug down by him.

Picking up the spoon, he looked at the "bear paw" in the spoon and sighed in admiration.

The pale white gelatinous body trembles and trembles, as if it is fish oil, which is very attractive.

Above it, it is covered with a fine layer of caviar, which exudes a hint of saltiness.

With a turn of his eyes, Dai Long took the water cup on the table, took a sip of water, cleared his mouth, and then put the "bear paw" in the spoon into his mouth.

In the mouth of the "bear's paw", the soft and smooth fish jelly meets the warm tongue, and it melts in an instant, turning into a slightly thick soup.

The soup is full of sturgeon meat, but it is not salty enough, and it is slightly bland.

But then, as the soup melts, the caviar spread on top is mixed into the soup, and the salty and umami flavor bursts out instantly.

The process of the explosion of flavor is like a bomb explosion, and the aroma of the sturgeon itself in the soup is instantly stimulated, and the aroma is more than multiplied several times.

The delicious taste made Dai Long can't help but push his tongue up and sip the caviar in the soup.

Goo!

He swallowed the salty and umami soup, but the clear grains of fish roe remained on his tongue.

Gently biting with his teeth, the roe burst out with salty juice as if they were water balloons.

The sturgeon soup dilutes the salt in the caviar, making its own umami more prominent, and even bringing out a hint of sweetness.

With the squeezing of the teeth and the rejection, the fish roe burst out with salty and fresh juice, and the taste is wonderful.

"Hmph~!"

Dai Long exhaled through his nostrils.

When he inhaled again, he felt that even his nostrils were full of the deliciousness of fish soup and caviar, and he enjoyed it incomparably.

Finally, he swallowed the caviar in his mouth.

He wanted to take another bite, but [Treading the Snow and Finding the Bear] had already been turned away.

Still smacking the taste in his mouth, Dai Long looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi turned [Treading Snow and Finding Bears] to the front, and signaled to Liu Yifei beside him: "You try this." ”

Liu Yifei picked up the spoon, scooped up a piece, tasted it, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Yi smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly at her, and then picked up a piece of pig pulling slices, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"Ah Yi."

Dai Long looked at Li Yi, pointed at him [Treading Snow and Finding Bears], and asked with some curiosity: "Who taught you to boil that meat jelly?" ”

Li Yi said casually: "No one taught me, I figured it out myself." ”

"Impossible."

Dai Long shook his head: "This kind of heat is definitely not something that a person can try casually. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi glanced back at him, smiled, and asked, "Do you know the exhaustive method?" ”

"What brute-force method?"

Dai Long was stunned.

"It's like a complete induction method in mathematics, which is to list all possible permutations and combinations, and then try them one by one."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "It's like if you forget the three-digit password of your suitcase, just start from 001 and try until 999, and there will definitely be a number that can open the suitcase."

Therefore, the same is true for meat jelly, as long as the test samples are enough, only regular observation and summary are needed, and all its states can be collected.

It's not difficult to boil a pot of meat skins, take samples every minute after boiling water, and register the status of each minute, right? ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Dai Long was speechless.

After a pause, he asked, "You mean, you used this stupid method to make this kind of meat jelly?" ”

"Stupid way?"

Li Yi shook his head: "This is not a stupid method, this is a very scientific and effective test method, and many biological and material laboratories use this method to find new substances and new materials."

Modern food technology can also be used in this way to crack the spice formula, in the face of this method, what is a hundred years of secret recipes, hundreds of years ago a single vein of hot pot ingredients, there is no secret at all.

Making meat jelly is the simplest application of this method, there is no difficulty, as long as you are willing to try, you can always try. ”

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Dai Long was silent.

He subconsciously felt that Li Yi should not have made meat jelly in this way, but he felt that Li Yi was very reasonable.

Thinking of the prefabricated food industry that has been in full swing in recent years, all kinds of food flavors, and even woks have invented related essential oils, he can't help but be a little worried.

If technology really develops to the point where the relevant principles of cooking are completely cracked in the future, will the profession of chef, which has lasted for thousands of years, disappear?
