Chapter 420 The King of Vegetable Stuffing

Yang Shaoyue looked at Li Yi as if he was stacking a quilt, and looked a little curious.

So, she reached out and picked up a round meringue cut out by Li Yi, and looked it over carefully.

The surface of the puff pastry looks smooth and nothing fancy.

Apart from being a bit thicker, it is not much different from dumpling wrappers.

However, when Yang Shao looked at it sideways, he suddenly exclaimed: "Wow! It's amazing!"

Zhao Jinmai came over curiously: "What's wrong?"

"look!"

Yang Shaoyue pointed to the side of the puff pastry, and saw that on the cross section of the puff pastry, one could clearly see horizontal lines, just like the side of a book.

The extremely thin water-oil noodles are as thin as paper, one on top of the other, layer upon layer, but the layers are distinct.

"so amazing!"

Yang Shaoyue exclaimed: "I thought it was rolled together! It's actually layered!"

"Really!"

Zhao Jinmai also saw it clearly, and couldn't help but marvel: "It's so even! Layer by layer!"

Hearing what they said, the rocket girls on the side all came over and looked at them curiously.

Master Cai pointed the camera at the puff pastry that Li Yi put on the table, taking a close-up.

Under the close-up, the audience in the live broadcast room also saw the side cross-section of the puff pastry.

Seeing layers of paper-thin meringue, the audience was also amazed, and the barrage flew.

"Wow! It's really layered! It's amazing!"

"I thought it was the effect of the show, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing!"

"These stars really know how to act, a ball of noodles is so... miraculous?!"

"Before watching: the acting is too fake.

After watching: What kind of supernatural work is this? "

"How can it be rolled so evenly? It feels like it was made by a machine."

"Ordinary machines are not as fine as human beings. This is real skill!"

"It's awesome! I thought it was rolled into a whole piece, but I didn't expect it to be layered!"

Seeing a group of girls yelling and looking at the puff pastry, Liu Yifei also wanted to see it, but she couldn't get up because of her inconvenient legs.

Suddenly, a piece of meringue was handed to her.

She looked up, but it was Li Yi who handed it over.

Li Yi smiled, did not speak, turned around and handed the mold in his hand to Zhao Jinmai, and ordered: "You and Yifei come to get the puff pastry! Just like I did just now, I have to make lotus paste stuffing .”

"Oh well."

Zhao Jinmai took the mold and smiled at Liu Yifei, "I'll do it!"

As she said that, she followed the position where Li Yi had just taken the puff pastry, and picked it up piece by piece.

After Yang Shaoyue and the others marveled, they all returned to the basin and continued mixing dry pastry.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Liu Yifei watched Zhao Jinmai take out the puff pastry, so she pushed the wheelchair to her side and helped her stack the puff pastry that she had taken out.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai turned around and smiled and said, "It's fine if I come! It's okay, you can rest for a while!"

Liu Yifei paused and put the meringue back.

Pushing the wheelchair back a few steps, she looked at Zhao Jinmai busy with work, then at Yang Shaoyue and the others who were chatting and laughing as they kneaded the dried pastry, her eyes fell on her gauze-wrapped feet.

She stared blankly, in a trance.

Suddenly, a figure came up to her, blocked the light, and went around behind her.

As the wheelchair turned, Li Yi's voice came: "No, I can't do it by myself, so I need your help."

Liu Yifei looked back at him, said "oh", lowered her head, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Pushing Liu Yifei to the counter next to the stove, Li Yi put her away, went to the storage room, and put a bag of lotus seeds on the counter.

"What's this?"

Liu Yifei looked at the red lotus seeds in the packaging bag, feeling a little puzzled.

"Lianzi."

While Li Yi explained, he turned on the faucet next to the cauldron on the stove, and poured water into the pot.

"Lianzi?"

Liu Yifei asked in surprise, "Aren't lotus seeds white?"

"Those are lotus seeds that have been peeled. These are dried lotus seeds that have not been refined. They are more fragrant and sticky than processed ones."

Turn on the stove, turn it on to the maximum, let the water boil, Li Yi cut open the lotus seed packaging bag with a knife.

Liu Yifei's angle was just right enough to see the place of origin on the packaging bag, and she whispered: "Xiangtan? Are these lotus seeds from Xiangtan?"

"right."

Li Yi explained: "To make lotus paste, it is best to use Xiangtan lotus seeds that are not more than one year old.

Xiangtan lotus seeds are big and plump, and the lotus flavor is delicate. The quality of the lotus paste produced is relatively high in gelatinity, viscosity and transparency. "

While talking, he put the frying spoon into the pot, stirred the clear water in the pot, let the hot water near the bottom of the pot merge with the cold water above, and accelerated the temperature rise.

The hot stove boiled water very quickly, and the clear water in the pot was boiled and boiled in a short while.

Seeing this, Li Yi directly poured the whole bag of lotus seeds into the pot.

Then, he went to get a bag of edible alkali, dug out a few spoonfuls, and poured it into the pot.

"What is this doing?"

Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"Peel the lotus seeds."

Li Yi explained: "The thin wall between the skin and pulp of lotus seeds is mainly the middle cells composed of pectin and other substances.

Under the action of high-temperature lye, this layer of gelatinous layer will dissolve, and the peel will easily fall off. "

"Can it still be like this?"

Liu Yifei was surprised.

"It's very common."

Li Yi said with a smile: "The canned food in the food factory uses lye to peel apples, peaches, and pears. Otherwise, how much effort would it take to peel them manually?"

"so amazing."

Liu Yifei suddenly thought of something, and asked: "In ancient times, lotus seeds were peeled in the same way? Did you use the ash and alkaline water you mentioned?"

"Yes, do you still remember?"

Li Yi smiled and nodded: "That kind of water is scientifically called soap water, but it is no longer allowed to be used, only edible alkali is allowed."

While speaking, he pushed the lotus seeds in the pot with a frying spoon.

After the lotus seeds entered the water, the water in the pot was quickly stained black, as if it had become a soy sauce stew.

After turning off the fire, Li Yi covered the pot and let the lotus seeds simmer.

It took fifteen minutes to simmer, Li Yi covered the pot, and went to get another bag of dried red dates back.

Reboiling a pot of boiling water, Li Yi cleaned and scalded red dates while chatting with Liu Yifei: "Do you like lotus seed paste or jujube paste?"

"like it all."

Liu Yifei snuggled up on the back of the chair, watched Li Yi busy, and said with a smile: "However, I haven't eaten any particularly delicious lotus paste stuffing, the lotus paste egg yolk stuffing is okay, but I've had jujube paste stuffing that was delicious. "

"There are very few lotus paste fillings that are well-made, and there are many fake ones. If someone mixes them with winter melon, it will definitely not taste as good as pure lotus paste.

Lotus paste stuffing is known as the king of vegetarian stuffing in pastry. The well-made lotus paste stuffing tastes very sweet.

Red dates are also adulterated, but the taste of red dates is relatively strong, and it tastes easier to fool.

However, the pure jujube paste stuffing is also delicious. In the pastries of the northern school, the jujube paste has a very high status, and it is a must-learn entry-level taste for the northern school. "

While talking, Li Yi picked up a spoonful of hot red dates, put it in a basin, and brought it in front of Liu Yifei.

He took a one-handed rolling pin from the wooden box, and Li Yi took a red date, knocked it on the chopping board a few times until it was flat, and then broke it lightly, revealing the date core inside.

"Look, this will take out the date pit."

Li Yi handed her the rolling pin, and explained: "Your task is to help me take out these date pits."

"okay."

Liu Yifei took the rolling pin, followed Li Yi's example, and picked up the date stone.

It is not difficult to get the date stones, and Liu Yifei can get started after only a few.

Da da da!

The rolling pin in her hand struck the date stones, and the sound was very regular.

Wow!

Li Yi poured another bag of red dates into the pot, cleaned and scalded them.

Liu Yifei looked up at him, and quickly looked away.

She kept her hands in her hands, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

She suddenly felt that this was quite warm.
