Liu Yifei's doubts are also what the audience in the live broadcast room wants to ask.

"That's right! When you buy it, you can't let the boss cut a few holes? ”

"The lotus roots on our side are all peeled and sealed in plastic bags, but you can see holes."

"Fresh lotus root seems to look at the skin, right? My mom taught me, but I forgot. ”

"I only know that after breaking it, the silk is the flour lotus, and the non-silk is the crispy lotus."

Looking at the different opinions in the live broadcast room, Li Yi glanced around, then walked to the stove, picked up a lotus root, and explained to the camera: "If you go to buy a lotus root, it is inconvenient to look at the cross-section, and you can also distinguish it by its appearance."

The whiskers of the brittle lotus root are generally whitish and the surface is very smooth to the touch.

If it is a face lotus, the color of the lotus root will be darker, and the surface will be rougher, and there will be some pitting.

In addition, the starch content of the lotus root is high, so the amount will be heavier.

Therefore, the two lotus roots of the same size, the heavier one is the dough lotus.

Also, the shape of the lotus root is generally short and thick, and the crispy lotus root is generally more slender, as long as you observe more, the two kinds of lotus root are still easy to distinguish. ”

Listening to Li Yi's explanation, the audience suddenly realized, and then started joking.

"Understood, the short and thick ones are more noodles, and the thin and long ones are more crispy, hehe!"

"The easiest way is not to buy it, is it cost-effective to have a pound of lotus root and a half pound of holes?"

"Oh, that's the difference between Wu Dalang and Wu Song, the ugly one is the noodle lotus, and the good-looking one is the crispy lotus."

"My sister-in-law said she wanted to eat crispy lotus root."

“……”

Looking at the more and more outrageous barrage in the live broadcast room, Li Yi shook his head helplessly.

He is so upright, why are the audience so perverted?

The pot was already filled with water, and after the two aunts poured the cut lotus root into the pot one by one, they covered the pot and simmered.

Smelling the aroma wafting from the pot, Liu Yifei swallowed her saliva and looked greedy.

Although she only worked for half a day, she also put in a lot of effort, so at noon she ate a whole lunch box bought by the film crew, and also took Li Yi's chicken legs to eat.

But by now, the food had already been digested, and she felt like she could eat a cow.

After the lotus root pieces were put into the pot and simmered for twenty minutes, the aunt lifted the lid.

The wafting aroma hooked Liu Yifei couldn't help but take a few deep breaths and exclaimed: "It's so fragrant!" ”

However, although the gluttony was on the top, she did not go to eat, but looked at the lotus root diggers who got up and lined up.

She only worked for half a day, and she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and those lotus root diggers worked for a whole day, and they must be even more hungry, so let them eat first.

The Shengwu brothers were at the front, and each of them made a big pot of vegetables.

But they didn't eat it themselves, but sent it to Li Yi and Liu Yifei.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei was surprised and embarrassed, so she hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, you can eat first!" You're tired of the day, we'll eat later. ”

However, the Shengwu brothers insisted on stuffing the food into their hands, and then pointed to the direction of the gas stove with a smile: "The rice is over there, we will call you." ”

"No, no, let's just do it ourselves."

Liu Yifei was even more embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Yi handed over the vegetable pot to Zeng Shun, and he followed the Shengwu brothers to get two meals and came back.

When he came back with a rice bowl, Liu Yifei had already started eating.

She got into the van with the vegetable basin in her arms, put the vegetable basin on the seat, squatted in the compartment, and ate sweetly.

Seeing Li Yi coming back, she shook the neatly gnawed ribs in her hand at Li Yi and cheered: "Come and taste it!" This pork rib lotus root soup is super delicious! ”

Li Yi put the rice bowl on the seat and sat down cross-legged directly.

In the two pots of vegetables, the cold lotus root slices did not move a few pieces, but the pork ribs and lotus root soup had already gone down for a small half.

"Try this soup, it's super delicious!"

Liu Yifei brought her own utensils, scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, and fed it to Li Yi's mouth.

Li Yi lowered his head and tasted it, and the soup entered his mouth, and the strong aroma of the meat and the sweetness of the lotus root occupied his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious."

Li Yi nodded in approval.

This meat is made of common large white pork, and the fragrance is not enough, but the lotus root is extremely outstanding.

"Really?"

Liu Yifei happily scooped up a spoonful, took a sip, and squinted her eyes and exclaimed: "This lotus root is so sweet, it's so delicious." ”

"The ingredients are fresh enough, and they can't be eaten no matter what."

Li Yi said with a smile, took the chopsticks out of the lunch box, took a piece of lotus root, and put it in his mouth.

The chef's stew uses lotus root, and after half an hour of stewing, it is almost stewed.

After entering the mouth, you don't need to bite at all, just use your tongue to touch it, and the lotus root cubes melt away like mashed potatoes, and the mouth is full of sweet fragrance.

This kind of taste experience is a kind of enjoyment for Li Yi.

That's the beauty of fresh ingredients.

Tasting the sweetness of the lotus root, Li Yi's mind suddenly recalled what Yi Xiang had said to Zhang Dongguan.

"No matter how exquisite the cooking skills are, in front of the fresh ingredients, it is only the icing on the cake.

The top-notch ingredients don't require too much cooking skills at all, as long as they bring out the flavor of themselves, it is enough.

The degree of sophistication of your cooking skills is unparalleled in the world, but as the so-called road is simple, when you forget all the cooking skills you know, you will be considered truly enlightened. ”

Recalling Yi Xiang's words in his mind, the sweetness of the lotus root in his mouth stimulated Li Yi's nerves.

Suddenly, a little spiritual light burst out, and his whole person suddenly felt relaxed, as if he had broken free from a layer of restraints, and as if he had jumped out of some framework, and his whole body was comfortable.

"The sound of the voice, the elephant is invisible, the ingenuity is not work, the complexity is simple..."

Li Yi muttered in his mouth, and his eyes gradually became clearer.

Those two practice aunts are just ordinary people, and it is estimated that they have never learned cooking seriously.

But just using the freshest ingredients to fill the hungriest stomach, the satisfaction brought by it has surpassed countless rare mountain and sea delicacies.

Perhaps this is the meaning of food itself, and it is also the original intention of cooking, right?

"What?"

Liu Yifei ate a full mouthful, her cheeks bulged like a hamster, and she turned around in confusion and asked vaguely.

"Nothing."

Li Yi smiled: "I just think that making this food documentary is the right one." ”

"Hmmm! It is! ”

Liu Yifei nodded in agreement: "This is much more interesting than filming, and you can eat such delicious dishes." ”

Li Yi was noncommittal, took Liu Yifei's soup spoon, and took a sip of soup.

He seemed to vaguely feel a direction, a direction that would allow him to find his way of cooking.

Jingle bells!

Liu Yifei's mobile phone rang.

She took it out and looked at it, it was Liu Xiaoli calling.

After connecting, she said a few words, and then handed the phone to Li Yi: "My mother wants to talk to you." ”

After taking the phone, Li Yi answered, and Liu Xiaoli's voice came out of the phone: "Lin Long has found me, he wants to see you and make amends to you in person." ”
