A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

  Chapter 45 [Pearl Jade White Jade Soup]

  Hearing Li Yi's words, Mr. Huang and the young woman were dumbfounded.

"What is this nonsense?"

The young woman couldn't help retorting: "It's wrong to eat too clean? The food safety problem is so serious now, there are all kinds of viruses and bacteria outside, and children's resistance is so weak. If they don't eat clean, why should they eat dirty food?" ?”

   "It's not about eating dirty, it's about letting the child cultivate enough normal flora."

  Li Yi rinsed the tofu, then took it back to the chopping board.

   After pouring half of the pot of clean water into the pot, he turned on the stove, lit the fire, and explained: "Of course we must pay attention to food safety issues, but children still have to have some contact with normal bacteria."

   "How can that work!"

  The young woman refused without even thinking about it: "Guoguo's immune system is inherently weak, and if you don't pay attention, you will get sick.

  Every time I go back home, I have to wash her hands and take a bath, otherwise she will definitely get sick.

   Just because of this, I let her actively contact with bacteria? "

   "She has poor resistance, because the number of bacteria in her body is not enough, so she can't develop enough resistance."

  The water boiled, Li Yi held up the tofu with his hands, took out the knife from the knife box, and made a few horizontal and vertical cuts on his palm, the tofu turned into pieces of dice-sized tofu and fell into the water.

Pushed the tofu that sank into the bottom of the pot twice with the bottom of the frying spoon to prevent the pot from sticking, and then he continued to explain: "The human body is a large bacteria breeding ground, and the number of bacteria carried by a normal adult is about one hundred trillion. About 0.2 kilograms in weight, that is, four taels, almost as heavy as four eggs.

  These bacteria make up the flora in the cavity of our body surface and the outside world, which is the so-called normal flora.

  Most of these bacteria are beneficial to the human body. Some of them stay temporarily and will be excreted from the body. Some of them will form a lifelong symbiotic relationship after they adapt to the human body for a long time.

  A normal person needs enough normal flora to help him metabolize and transform substances, obtain nutrients, stimulate the immune system, and thus gain stronger immunity. "

  His series of explanations directly confused the young woman.

  The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned by him.

   "Am I taking a professional class? Why would a food stall owner understand this?"

   "Isn't this the God of Cooking studio? Why are we talking about medicine?"

   "Although I can't believe it, what the anchor said is right! I just study pharmacy, and the normal flora of the human body is really important!"

  The young woman looked at Guoguo hesitantly, and then asked, "How do you know so much?"

   "I'm a college student who graduated from a serious food major, okay?"

Li Yi smiled before explaining: "Besides, a good cook is equal to half a doctor. Haven't you heard an old saying? Don't do dirty work and eat without getting sick. This is an old saying that has been passed down. Makes sense."

   "But, isn't this scientific?"

  The young woman smelled the rotten smell from the pot and couldn't understand: "Besides, what does this have to do with eating rotten tofu?"

   "This is not rancid, this is fermentation."

  Li Yi explained: "After tofu is fermented under certain conditions, some molds with strong protease activity will be produced.

  Have you all eaten fermented bean curd? The same is true for stinky tofu. When they are fermented, they will become moldy and produce a lot of moldy mildew or rhizopus.

   During the reproduction process, these molds will produce protease to decompose the protein in tofu into small molecules of peptides and amino acids.

  Some mucormycetes can also produce lipase, which hydrolyzes fat into glycerol and fatty acids, and amylase, which decomposes starch into monosaccharides and oligosaccharides.

   This can make the nutrients in tofu more easily absorbed by the body, and the taste is more delicate and delicious. "

  Listening to Li Yi's explanation, the young woman was overwhelmed: "Our family never eats stinky tofu!"

"so!"

  Li Yi took out the colander, fished the blanched tofu cubes out of the pot, and put them in a clear water basin to soak.

Then he poured out the water in the pot, and while cleaning the pot carefully, he explained: "Guoguo's normal intake of beneficial flora is too little, and there is not enough healthy flora in the intestines, so the digestion ability is not good enough. Well, is she constipated too?"

  Hearing Guoguo's constipation issue, the young woman was a little surprised, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! How do you know? She has been suffering from serious constipation for the past two years. I took her to see many doctors, but nothing helped."

  Li Yi glanced at her and smiled slightly: "She's not serious, your constipation should be more serious, usually when you wake up in the morning, you will have bad breath, right?"

   "..."

  The young woman blushed when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to refute.

   "It's too clean to eat."

  After cleaning the pot, Li Yi poured the remaining broth into the pot from the broth bucket at the side, and brought it to a boil.

Then he took out a cabbage, a handful of spinach leaves, and a bowl of leftover rice rice from the rice cooker, and put them beside the pot: "Drink a few more bowls of my pearl, emerald, white jade Soup, take your time."

   Mr. Huang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Does this soup still use pearls?"

   "Isn't this a pearl?"

  Li Yi smiled and picked up a bowl of leftover rice rice, and poured it into the pot.

   Then he poured the blanched tofu cubes into the pot: "This is white jade."

   Followed by spinach: "Emerald."

  Finally, he took out a kitchen knife, cut the cabbage in two, and cut them vertically into long strips.

   "Pork is the only meat that is fragrant, and cabbage is better than cabbage. Cabbage can be used as medicine."

  Li Yi threw the shredded cabbage into the pot, and explained casually: "It is recorded in "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica", that yellow sprout cabbage can benefit the stomach, nourish the stomach and neutralize it, and it is the most suitable for regulating the stomach."

  Following, he shook the pot, pushed the bottom of the pot a few times with the back of a spoon, turned off the fire, and finished in one go.

   "This is Pearl Jade White Jade Soup."

  Looking at the blue, white, yellow and green soup in the pot, which still exudes a little fermented smell, Mr. Huang couldn't help muttering: "This is the pearl, emerald, and white jade soup? Isn't it..."

  He got to the point of his mouth, but didn't say it.

  But the audience in the live broadcast room spoke out for him.

   "Isn't this swill?"

   "Ranky tofu, leftover crispy rice, rotten cabbage, stinky spinach, what's the difference between this and pot water?"

   "The anchor's name is a real cow, and the pot of swill is named after a pearl, emerald and white jade soup. This is called marketing packaging!"

   "Are you kidding me? Do you really want that little girl to drink this bowl of rotten tofu soup?"

  For a while, there was a lot of complaints in the live broadcast room, and Mr. Huang and the young woman also looked embarrassed, obviously they didn't really want Guoguo to drink this bowl of [Pearl Jade White Jade Soup].

  At this time, Gao Wenlin who had been standing by the side suddenly spoke.

   "It turns out that this is the [Pearl, Emerald and White Jade Soup] recorded in the book. I have learned a lot."

  He carefully looked at the soup in the pot, stretched out his hand to fan it, and sniffed the smell of the soup.

   "It's indeed a fermented flavor, if you can accept it, it's not bad."

  He nodded approvingly, and then sighed: "But I really didn't expect that the legendary [Pearl, Emerald and White Jade Soup] would actually be made this way."

  Hearing his words, Mr. Huang couldn't help asking: "Do you know this [Pearl, Emerald, White Jade Soup]?"

"certainly."

  Gao Wenlin explained: "This is the favorite soup of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
