After the eight treasures are ready, they only need to take a part of each, and simmer them together with the colorful pheasant, barley, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots and ham for four hours, and stew the colorful pheasant until crispy, and the [golden phoenix soup] is ready.

Li Yi didn't have to worry about the fire and kung fu, and after the preparation was done, he handed over the soup to Hao Libao, and asked Hao Libao to arrange for someone to watch the stewing.

He himself went back and made the unfinished [Phoenix Nine Chicks].

Several apprentices have already made nine famous chicken dishes according to Li Yi's requirements.

Li Yi took a carving knife and cut off the chicken teeth in the nine chickens.

After cooking, the chicken teeth remain tender.

Li Yi cut them into extremely thin shredded meat, then smeared them with the soup and seasonings of each dish, and stuffed them into eggshells one by one.

Li Yi asked Hao Libao to do the work of stuffing shredded meat, because he had to process shredded meat into balls in eggshells.

In this step, he needs to use a bent bamboo chip and a thin bamboo needle to weave the shredded meat into a ball through a narrow egg hole.

This operation requires very stable hands, fine control, and a lot of experience.

Seeing Li Yi carefully weaving meat balls in the eggshell with bamboo slices and bamboo silk, Hao Libao couldn't help but ask: "Chop it into meat foam, stuff it into the eggshell and shake it well, won't it form a ball?" Can it be so complicated? ”

"Won't the sauce stick to the eggshell?"

Li Yi explained casually while weaving: "The effect I want is that after peeling off the eggshell, the egg white is as white as a boiled egg, and I can't see the inside situation."

When you cut it, you can find that it is minced meat.

Moreover, the meat ball made with shredded meat can control the direction of the texture, and the final effect will be very beautiful. ”

"Texture?"

Hao Libao didn't understand.

No matter how beautiful the texture of shredded meat is, isn't it also shredded meat?

He wanted to ask again, but his phone rang.

took out his mobile phone and connected the phone, he answered a few times, and then said: "Xiao Xu, the front manager of our unit, is here, and I will introduce you later." ”

As he spoke, he called a disciple over and ordered him to pick up someone.

After a while, the apprentice returned to the back kitchen with a round-faced man.

The man looked to be less than forty years old, with a warm smile, dressed in a decent work suit, and shiny leather shoes, and went straight to Hao Libao after entering the door.

"Mr. Hao."

After he said hello to Hao Libao, he looked at Li Yi, who was busy with his life, with a curious look in his eyes.

After receiving a call from Hao Libao last night, he initially thought that Hao Libao was drunk and talking nonsense.

The specifications of the state guesthouse are already the highest in the country, why do you have to go to variety shows to gain knowledge?

However, as the front office manager of the unit, he is responsible for the front-line work of the unit, and it is his responsibility to keep learning at all times.

And it was Hao Libao who made the request, and he couldn't help but give the face of the executive chef, so after going to the unit early this morning to arrange the work, he rushed over as soon as possible.

"Xiao Xu, this is the Master Li I told you, Master Li, this is Xiao Xu, the front office manager of our unit."

Hao Libao introduced them with a smile.

"Manager Xu."

Li Yi nodded back and smiled: "I will not greet you if I hold my hand, fortunately!" ”

"No, no, I'm bothering."

Manager Xu looked at the back kitchen and said with a smile: "We're not far away, I've heard that you're filming a show here, but I've never had a chance to come over and take a look, this time it's finally here, it feels really good." ”

The State Guesthouse is also 10 kilometers away from the restaurant, and the subway has to take 5 stops.

In the capital, the distance of five stations is indeed not too far, but he is obviously polite.

"Hasn't Manager Xu watched our show?"

Huang Xiaoming on the side asked with a smile.

"I didn't watch it myself, mainly because I'm usually too busy."

Manager Xu explained with a smile: "But my daughter is a big fan of your show, and she has always recommended me to watch your show, and I plan to watch your show again when I have time." ”

"Thank you for your daughter's support!"

Huang Xiaoming smiled: "In this way, we can take a group photo and give it to your daughter later." ”

"Group photo..."

Manager Xu hesitated slightly, then glanced at Hao Libao quickly, nodded and joked: "Okay!" It's just that I'm not photogenic, and I can't compare with you stars, haha! ”

Listening to their conversation in the rear, Li Yi kept weaving in the eggshell in his hands.

Glancing at him, Hao Libao stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Xiao Xu is still very good. ”

He is very familiar with Manager Xu, although he is very polite in dealing with people, but the people who come out of the State Guesthouse will be a little self-assured.

However, Manager Xu's meaning was very vague, and Huang Xiaoming didn't hear it.

Hao Libao didn't know if Li Yi understood, but for the sake of safety, he still took the initiative to explain.

"Well, that's good."

Li Yi smiled and raised his chin at him.

It is normal for people who are eating imperial food to be a little arrogant.

In the dream space, there is a casual imperial chef in the imperial dining room, and when he leaves the palace, his eyes are facing the sky and his nostrils are facing up.

Compared with the imperial chefs, Manager Xu was already very polite.

Hearing Li Yi say this, Hao Libao immediately understood that he really understood.

It's good to explain, but Li Yi is also a good person! It's really hard to fool.

As he spoke, Li Yi had already braided a chicken ball.

Sandwiching the chicken balls with bamboo slices and bamboo needles, Li Yi asked Hao Libao to take the egg white, suck out the egg white with a needle, and inject it into the egg.

Seeing that the egg white in the eggshell gradually disappeared over the meat ball, Li Yi withdrew the bamboo needle and shouted to stop.

Hao Libao stopped in response, and then asked, "Is it enough?" ”

"That's enough."

Li Yi pulled out the bamboo slices, took up a spoonful of egg whites at the elbow, and was scooped up by him and thrown back into the egg white basin.

Then, he dipped the egg white in the eggshell with a bamboo needle and smeared it on the broken part of the eggshell.

Hao Libao looked at the breach curiously, and saw that the chicken ball was suspended in the egg liquid, the position was neither high nor low, and it happened to be in the center.

"Pretty."

Hao Libao exclaimed.

The ratio of meat to egg white is just right, and it is indeed beautifully done.

What is Kung Fu? This is called kung fu.

After wiping a circle of egg whites, Li Yi cut open a set of egg carton cardboard and divided them into individual egg cartons.

Then, he took the eggshell that had been broken and put it back on it.

Pressing it gently, Li Yi put the egg in the egg carton and then placed it on the desk.

After taking a stainless steel basin and pressing it on the egg carton, Li Yi turned around and continued to make other phoenix eggs.

It took him forty minutes to finish all nine phoenix eggs.

But in Hao Libao's view, it is tantamount to a miracle.

Controlling bamboo chips and needles in holes the size of a penny coin, and weaving a ball of meat with thin shredded chicken in the center of an eggshell, is as precise as a heart operation.

And Li Yi's time to make each egg didn't exceed five minutes?

Isn't this a miracle?

But for Li Yi, this is nothing to be proud of.

Without him, only the hand is familiar.
