Looking at the slender wild lotus root in the pot, Liu Yifei swallowed her saliva and introduced it to Li Yi: "This kind of wild lotus root tastes different from that kind of big lotus, the silk is thicker and not so crispy, but the stewed soup is particularly fragrant." ”

Li Yi nodded with a smile and quipped: "Yes, I have a bit of a professional gourmand now." ”

"Haha! Is that! ”

Liu Yifei raised her head proudly: "I've been recording a show with you for so long, I should watch some of it, right?" ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, shrunk her neck, and said with a smile: "But when I first recorded the show, I really didn't know anything about cooking."

At that time, I couldn't even tell the difference between keels and ribs, and I knew they were all called bones, haha! ”

While laughing, the charcoal fire under the hanging pot gradually heated the keel and wild lotus root in the pot, and the fragrance gradually drifted away.

Smelling this aroma, Liu Yifei couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"It's okay to eat, right?"

She picked up the chopsticks, smacked the chopsticks, and looked directly at the meat in the pot.

"It could have been eaten."

Li Yi also picked up the chopsticks and signaled: "Let's eat the meat first, the meat is marinated, let the lotus root simmer for a while first." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately couldn't wait to pick up a keel.

But she didn't put it in the bowl, she first pressed the keel into the soup and took a bath, and then took the bowl back to her.

After picking up and blowing twice, she lowered her head and took a bite and savored it.

has been following Li Yi to record the show for so long, and she has developed the habit of tasting every dish.

"Well, it's a standard salty and fresh taste, and the flavor of black pepper is relatively strong and mellow."

She commented decently: "This marinade doesn't seem to have our fragrance, and there are several ingredients missing, but I can't taste what it is."

The flavor of the meat is still relatively sufficient, the stew is very crispy, and it will be deboned as soon as you bite it, but it is a little too rotten, and it is not as good as the feeling that you marinate and can still maintain the taste......"

She chewed it carefully and swallowed the meat before she said to Li Yi: "If you make it, it will definitely be better than this, but it's already very good, it's delicious." ”

"You've really tasted it."

Li Yi smiled and pulled out a tissue and helped her wipe the sauce on her cheeks.

Zeng Shun on the side said with a smile: "Compared with Yi Ge with this kind of home-cooked restaurant food, it is indeed a bit of a bully." ”

"Looks like it!"

Liu Yifei thought about it for a while, and then smiled at Li Yi: "Eating your dishes all day long, my mouth is all gone." ”

"Isn't that just right?"

Li Yi joked: "After raising Diao, you can't do without me." ”

“……”

Zeng Shun and the assistant director on the side exchanged glances, and they were a little choked by dog food.

The proprietress who came to deliver the food brought them back to their senses, she took a plate of freshly cooked lotus root cakes and a plate of lotus root balls, put them on the table, and greeted them with a smile: "This is our special feature here, try it!" ”

"Lotus root cake! Lotus balls! My favorite food when I was a kid! ”

When Liu Yifei saw the lotus root cake, she immediately stretched out her chopsticks.

Picking up a piece of lotus root cake covered with glutinous rice and fried to a crispy crisp, she greeted Li Yi: "This is delicious, you can taste it quickly, this kind of lotus root is different from the batter and fried lotus root, it tastes more fragrant." ”

Seeing this, Li Yi also took a slice and looked at it.

The outer layer of this lotus root cake is full of glutinous rice, and both sides have been fried to brown, giving the appearance of a pot.

"Click!"

Liu Yifei couldn't wait to take a bite.

The crispy layer of the pot is bitten open, revealing the lotus root slices and meat filling inside.

Glancing at the cross-section she bit open, Li Yi knew it in his heart.

The principle of this lotus root cake is the same as that of the lotus root sandwich, except that the batter is replaced with glutinous rice.

However, the change of ingredients will bring about changes in taste, forming a unique style and characteristics.

This is also the charm of the special cuisine of each region.

Click!

Li Yi also took a bite of the lotus root cake and tasted it carefully.

The glutinous rice on the outside is fried crispy, but the lotus root slices on the inside are already noodles, and the deeper meat filling still has a hint of juice, which is very fragrant.

When the lotus root cake is entered, the taste feedback continues to pour out.

The glutinous rice is too watery, a little sticky, and not dispersed enough, resulting in insufficient crispiness.

The lotus root cake is fried a little too much, and the texture will be better if it has a little crispiness.

The seasoning of the meat filling is a little worse, and the pepper is a bit heavy, which covers the sweetness of the meat.

It's time to change the oil used, the taste is a bit miscellaneous...

But the feedback did not affect Li Yi's mood.

He once again picked up a lotus root ball, which was also wrapped in glutinous rice and fried to a golden brown.

The heat is a little big, the glutinous rice is a little hard, and the eating is a little toothy.

The minced meat is naturally fried a little older, and the juice is not enough.

This is also related to the high proportion of lotus root ciche mixed in it, and it would be better to reduce it by one percent.

Similarly, there are improvements to seasoning...

Although the taste feedback that was not satisfactory to him continued to emerge, Li Yi was still in a good mood.

With his current level of cooking, there are very few people in the world who can make dishes that completely satisfy him.

So taste feedback like this is the norm.

For him at the moment, he will pay more attention to how the dishes are prepared than the taste of the dishes.

Take these two dishes as an example, as long as you change the sticky rice to batter, it will become another dish.

Change the frying to steaming, and it will be another dish.

Although this seems to be a simple change in practice, it represents the inspiration of the ancients again and again.

It is also this explosion of inspiration that has made people evolve step by step from the original Ru Mao to drink blood, and finally form today's complex and rich splendid food culture.

Therefore, what he tasted was not the taste, but the whimsy of his ancestors.

This fascinated him more than the taste of the dishes.

Soon, one dish after another was served.

Liu Yifei eats very happily, these are her hometown dishes, which suit her appetite very much.

Zeng Shun and the two were also very satisfied, and half of the wild lotus root in the hanging pot was killed by the two of them.

"This wild lotus root is different! Sweet and glutinous. ”

Zeng Shun picked up another wild lotus root and ate it vigorously.

There is no separation between Hubei and Hunan families, and the tastes of the two places are different, but the good things are something that everyone can appreciate.

While the assistant director was eating, he was also observing the surroundings.

After looking around, he asked, "Director, don't we have to shoot the scene of the restaurant cooking and the diners eating?"

I think it's good here, you can take a scene here. ”

When Zeng Shun heard this, he didn't answer, but looked at Li Yi and handed him an inquiring look: "Brother Yi, what do you think?" ”

Li Yi looked around, then looked at the dishes on the table, and nodded: "I think it's okay, the dishes in this store are not bad, the master's skills are still okay, the most important thing is that there are many old customers, and I can take more shots of the locals, which makes it more immersive." ”

"That's settled, I'll talk to the boss later."

As soon as Zeng Shun answered, the proprietress took her mobile phone and came in with a smile: "Yifei, can I discuss something with you?" ”

She shook her phone: "I want to take a photo with you, go back and print it out, and hang it in our store, is it okay?" ”
