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

  Chapter 77 Menu

  Student Wu Lei finally realized his disadvantage in IQ, and accepted it readily, and continued to work hard to grind soybean milk.

   And Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai had a soft spot for the delicious and refreshing tofu mixed with shallots, and they were quickly swept away, not even a piece of tofu left.

   And Huang Xiaoming pulled Li Yi to discuss the menu to be confirmed when it officially opened.

   "We are really going to open for business, so in terms of dishes, you come to order!"

  Huang Xiaoming took out a pen and paper, and asked Li Yi, "Can you make your beef noodles?"

  He still can't forget the beef noodles he ate that day.

   "Forget about the beef noodles."

  Li Yi shook his head and vetoed: "For the content of the first issue, I plan to use tofu imitating meat as the theme, so the dishes cannot contain meat.

   And the beef noodles are too troublesome to make, so let's put it in the second phase! "

   "Oh, forget it."

   Huang Xiaoming was a little disappointed, and crossed out the name of beef noodles from the paper.

   "Let's order today's fried rice with soy sauce as the staple food! All the ingredients are ready, just fry it."

  Li Yi finalized the staple food first.

   "Okay, fried rice with soy sauce is also delicious."

  Huang Xiaoming nodded, and wrote the name of fried rice with soy sauce on the paper.

   "As for the food..."

  Li Yi thought for a while, and said: "Let's decide according to the table of the tofu banquet! Four fresh fruits and four dried fruits can be bought fresh every day, and you can buy whatever is fresh. For cold dishes..."

   Before he finished speaking, Huang Xiaoming interrupted him and asked, "What do you mean by four fresh fruits and four dried fruits?"

   "It's a fruit plate."

  Li Yi explained: "It's the snacks that are placed on the table before the banquet is served, such as oranges, peaches, apricots, and plums. Dried fruits are melon seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, and red dates."

"oh oh!"

  Huang Xiaoming realized that he had asked a stupid question, and quickly explained: "I thought it was something like preserved fruit, and it needs to be made fresh."

   "No, that would be a waste of time, I don't have that time."

  Li Yi continued to talk about the dishes: "Cold dishes are four beautiful dishes, four matching dishes, individual customers can order separately, but you should write it on the menu first."

  Huang Xiaoming was a little hesitant, but he still asked: "What is this four-beauty disc and four matching discs?"

   "I need to tell you about this."

  Li Yi explained: "Simei Dish is the first four dishes of cold dishes in the tofu banquet, which are salted tofu, spiced peanuts, lettuce with mashed garlic, and fried chestnuts in sugar.

  These four dishes are homophonic, Fu, Sheng, Cai, Li, implying the birth of blessings and the arrival of wealth.

  The four serving dishes are the last four dishes of cold dishes, which are dried tofu mixed with sauce, tofu skin mixed with cold sauce, milk tofu mixed with sugar, and tofu residue mixed with green onion.

  These four cold dishes show the four forms of tofu, which can be regarded as officially entering the tofu feast. "

   "Wait a minute, I'll make a note."

  Huang Xiaoming wrote down the few dishes Li Yi mentioned on the paper, and then asked curiously: "Can tofu dregs be used for cooking?"

"certainly."

  Li Yi smiled and said: "Oya bean dregs are very nutritious and relatively healthy. The elderly can also eat them. It can be used for kneading noodles, cooking porridge, stir-frying vegetables, frying balls, and making moldy bean dregs. They are all delicious."

  Huang Xiaoming asked him with a smile: "Is there nothing bad in your eyes?"

   "Whether it tastes good or not depends on the technology."

  Li Yi took a sip of soy milk: "In my case, as long as I can eat it, I can make it delicious."

"very nice."

  Huang Xiaoming joked: "In the future, if there is a wild survival program looking for me, I will ask you to go with me. I will definitely not be hungry."

   "No."

  Li Yi smiled and said, "I can't bear that crime."

  While joking, Huang Xiaoming memorized all the cold dishes, and then asked: "What about the hot dishes?"

   "Hot dishes..."

Li Yi thought for a while, and said: "Taishan Tofu Banquet is divided into three specifications: imperial banquet, imperial banquet and emperor banquet, which are six hot dishes, nine hot dishes and twelve hot dishes respectively. Since it is made in the palace, then Nine hot dishes!

  I told you to write, these nine dishes are Taiji Fushou Soup, Auspicious Nafu, Fu and Tianqi, Jade Emperor's Blessing, Qilin Blessing, Blessings like the East China Sea, Dongtian Blessed Land, Jiuzhuan Blessing Sausage, Taishan Three Blessings Soup. "

   "Wow! So many blessings?"

   Huang Xiaoming was amazed while writing.

   "Tofu, Doufu, is the homonym of Fu. Otherwise, why would the emperor have a tofu banquet when he enshrined in Zen?"

  Li Yi explained, and then continued: "For dessert after dinner, let's serve two dishes first! Don't make too much almond tofu and fairy tofu, or you will be overwhelmed."

   "What is fairy tofu? It sounds like a fairy."

   Huang Xiaoming was very curious.

   "You will know when the time comes."

  Li Yi made a fool of himself first, then wiped his hands, and got up: "Okay, that's the menu for now, I have to get busy, there's a lot of work waiting to be done."

   "Okay, I'll help you right away."

  Huang Xiaoming wrote the menu in a hurry, and asked again: "How should the price of the dishes be set?"

  Li Yi said casually: "We went out to purchase, and everything was recorded. There is a record in Yifei. You can calculate the cost, and you can decide how much to pay."

"okay."

  Huang Xiaoming responded, then continued to write with his head down.

  The cameraman on the side turned the camera to the paper in front of him, and took pictures of the menu on it.

   In the live broadcast room, bullet screens were flying.

   "This name sounds delicious!"

   "It really deserves to be held in the Forbidden City for a season. This dish has an aura just by hearing the name."

   "The program team has really spent a lot of money, and the quality of this season is very high."

   "I really want to try it! Everything else is easy to say, I just want to try the fried rice with soy sauce."

  Amidst the amazement of the audience, Li Yi has already started to get busy.

  He opened a bag of Tianshan flour from the Western Regions Province and poured it on the counter.

  25kg of flour occupies the entire table, full of flour, like the mountain of noodles in the heaven in Journey to the West.

   A hole was dug in the center of the noodle mountain, and Li Yi poured a bucket of water into it, immediately creating a "volcano" made of water and flour on the desk.

  After dissolving another scoop of salt water and adding the "crater", Li Yi began to knead the dough.

   Dip the flour into the water little by little, and stick it into flour flakes. Then, Li Yi began to push the flour flakes vigorously from left to right.

   Li Yi didn't stop until the flour wadding was pushed into a huge dough, and covered it with a layer of plastic sheeting to let it rise.

   At this time, an hour has passed.

  Among the kitchen equipment equipped by the program group, there is a dough mixer, which is the machine provided by the sponsoring manufacturer.

  But Li Yi has relatively high requirements for this dough, so it is still useless to use the dough mixer.

   Although the dough mixer can quickly and cost-effectively knead flour into dough, it cannot be as delicate as handmade dough.

  If you cut the dough out of the dough mixer, you will find that there will still be lumps one by one on the cross section, which are all places that are not and uniform.

  So, when using a noodle mixer to make noodles such as ramen noodles, it will be easier to break, and the gluten of the noodles will not be comparable to that of handmade noodles.

  This is also the reason why many machine noodles taste soulless.

  What Li Yi needs is a dough that is completely blended to an even level, and to a sufficient amount, so he has no way to save this effort, he can only blend it bit by bit.

   But the effort is always worth it, and the dough that comes out in the end is exactly what he needs.

  When he was kneading to the end, he could even feel the strengthening of the bones in the dough, which was a sign of the gradual awakening of the gluten in the flour.

  At this time, if this ball of noodles is used to make ramen, it will bounce too much, but just eating noodles will be delicious.

   But Li Yi didn't plan to make ramen.

  He and this dough are for the gluten in it.

   Brothers, the editor notices that it will be on the shelves on May 1st. Don’t say too much, I’m going to get some flavor in the next few days. I hope brothers will support a wave and hold hands!
