Chapter 372 Children's Empathy

Li Yi stood in front of the furnace door, half of his body was brightly illuminated by the fire inside.

These ovens are open flame ovens that Li Yi bought specially for the show, which are common roast duck ovens.

[Roast suckling pig] appeared longer than roast duck.

As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was already a delicacy of [Roast Suckling Pig].

"Zhou Li·Tianguan Zhongzai" has a cloud: food medicine, palm and king's six foods, six drinks, six meals, a hundred delicacies, a hundred sauces, and eight delicacies.

[Roast suckling pig] is one of the eight treasures, and the name at that time was Paotun.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jia Sixie also recorded [Roasted Suckling Pig] in "Qi Min Yao Shu", saying that it "is the same color as amber, and it is like real gold, but it disappears when it enters the mouth. also."

[Roast suckling pig] is a big dish, which is at the same level as the best ingredients such as bird's nest and shark's fin.

Even in the Manchu Banquet, this dish can occupy the position of the main course.

[Roast suckling pig] There are three roasting methods: hanging oven roasting, braised oven roasting and spit roasting.

Each of the three baking methods has its own characteristics.

Roasted in a hanging oven is full of fragrance, the skin is crispy, but the meat is slightly woody.

The roasted meat in the braised oven is tender and juicy, but the skin is not as crisp as it was roasted in the oven.

Fork grilling is the oldest roasting method, the skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant, but it is too time-consuming.

In ancient times, these three baking methods each had their own advantages.

But in modern times, the skill of [roast suckling pig] has combined all three roasting methods.

The roast pig master needs to roast the pig on a fork first, and dry the pig body. This step is called roasting the body.

Afterwards, honey juice and crispy water are used to coat the suckling pig with sugar, and then baked in an open oven until the skin is crispy.

Finally, it needs to be baked in a stewing oven until the meat inside is cooked and juicy, and a [Roast Suckling Pig] is completely completed.

With this method, it takes at least seven or eight hours before and after to roast a suckling pig.

Li Yi didn't have so much time and energy to roast suckling pig by hand, so he used modern technology.

The roast duck oven he asked the program team to buy is a modern technological oven invented by combining the advantages of the three roasting methods.

Both sides of these roast duck ovens have small nozzles similar to the mouth of a gas stove, which can spray open flames to roast the ingredients in the oven.

The sealed furnace body can concentrate the heat in the furnace, so that the suckling pigs can be heated more evenly.

This is what the oven does.

The translucent glass on the outside of the oven allows you to observe the situation of the roasted pig inside and adjust it at any time.

This is also the characteristic of the open furnace.

In addition, the suckling pig in the furnace is fixed on the iron skewer, and the iron skewer is connected with the rotating motor, which will automatically rotate after roasting, so that the inside and outside of the roast pig are evenly heated.

This is the hallmark of a spit grill.

Such an oven can save 80% of manpower.

As for the other 20% of the details, it can be adjusted at any time through the chef's own professional experience.

For Li Yi, this is definitely a good thing to save time and effort.

Putting on heat-insulating gloves, he reached directly into the oven, grabbed the handshake of the iron skewer, and pulled out a roast pig that was roasted golden and attractive.

Carrying the roast pig, he came to the desk, and Wang Gang had already brought a tray over with a wink.

Li Yi put the roast pig on the tray, and then used pliers to untie the wire that fixed the roast pig.

Just as he was dismantling it, everyone in the back kitchen had gathered around, staring in amazement at the golden roasted pig on the tray, admiring again and again.

"Oh my god! This little pig is roasted, it looks too delicious!"

Hu Ling took out her mobile phone and snapped a quick photo of the roast suckling pig.

After taking a few photos, she was still not satisfied, so she turned on the small video shooting mode and took pictures of the roast suckling pig while dubbing.

"Family and friends, look, what a beautiful roast suckling pig? The skin is shiny and crispy!

Do the family want to eat? This is the craftsmanship of our Chef Li, awesome! "

Zhao Jinmai stood aside, shaking his head helplessly.

People of their generation seem to post like this on Moments.

Liu Yifei also pushed the wheel of the wheelchair and came to the front.

Looking at the shiny skin of the suckling pig, she asked curiously, "Why is the skin of the suckling pig roasted so bright?"

"Because of the crispy skin water."

Li Yi explained: "It's mainly the maltose in the crispy skin water that is at work. In the oven, the maltose in the crispy skin water will melt and turn into an amber syrup, like sugar, that adheres to the pig's skin.

After hanging the sugar skin, the pig skin is like candied haws, wrapped in a thin layer of sugar shell, it will look very shiny.

This kind is called light-skinned suckling pig, which is a Cantonese style. There is also a kind of hemp-skinned suckling pig in the north. "

"ah?"

Wang Gang on the side was stunned.

Seeing him stunned, Li Yi knew that he, a Sichuan native, had misheard, so he smiled and reminded: "It's a suckling pig with sesame skin, not with sesame skin, but the pig skin on the surface has been baked into particles, which looks like sesame skin." The same, so it is called Mapi suckling pig."

"Oh well, I..."

Wang Gang smiled without explaining.

But in the live broadcast room, the audience in Sichuan Province in the barrage understood what he hadn't said.

"Haha! Mapi! Abbreviated as Hamapi!"

"Wang Gang's expression made me laugh so hard just now! It seems that I can't believe that Brother Yi is swearing in public."

"Hahaha! If I was there, I would have heard it wrong too."

"It is strongly recommended that Brother Yi roast a hemp-skinned roast pig alone, it will open the eyes of us people in Sichuan Province!"

In front of the camera, Chenchen is the only one who is fully focused on the roast suckling pig.

He stretched his head, looking at the roast suckling pig on the tray, drooling.

"Want to eat?"

Zhao Jinmai asked him with a smile.

"Want to eat."

Chen Chen raised his head and asked curiously, "Why is this pig so small?"

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled at him and said, "This is a baby pig."

Chen Chen was taken aback: "Why do you want to eat pig babies?"

"Because it's delicious!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Baby pig meat is the most tender and tastes the best."

Chen Chen was a little frightened, so he turned around and ran to Hu Ling's side, buried his head in her waist, and wiped away his tears with his hands.

"Why are you still crying?"

Hu Ling smiled and rubbed his head.

"I don't want to eat baby pigs anymore."

Chen Chen's voice was full of tears.

Hu Ling was a little embarrassed, and patted him on the back, but didn't know how to comfort him.

Seeing this, Li Yi smiled, stepped forward, and asked Chenchen, "Why don't you want to eat baby pigs?"

Chen Chen just wiped away tears and refused to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai said to Li Yi: "Brother Yi, leave him alone, after he tastes it later, he will definitely eat three bowls of it with tears in his eyes."

Hearing this, Li Yi shook his head: "No, this question is very important. This is the stage when children are just developing empathy. Parents need to guide them correctly. Otherwise, when they grow up, they will easily fall into extreme and unipolar thinking. model."

After speaking, he turned his face, looked at Chen Chen and asked with a smile, "Do you think this roast suckling pig smells good?"

Chen Chen hid behind Hu Ling, showed half of his face to look at him, and replied in a muffled voice: "Xiang..."

"Then do you think it's delicious?" Li Yi continued to ask with a smile.

"tasty."

Chen Chen nodded.

"Then why don't you want to eat it?"

Li Yi looked at him and asked a crucial question.

Chen Chen glanced at the roast suckling pig on the desk, and muttered, "I think baby pig is very pitiful, it definitely doesn't want to be eaten..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help wiping away his tears again.
