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

In the front hall, Yuan Yongyi, who had been busy all day, sat on a chair and rubbed his legs: "I am so tired. Being a waiter is really hard. I will definitely tip the waiters more when I go out to eat in the future. Alas, my legs are so sore... "

In the back kitchen, Li Yi was still busy in front of the stove.

He is preparing the staff meal tonight.

He also prepared the ingredients for the staff meals in advance, and the same processing did not take much time.

Coupled with Dai Long's help, a table of sumptuous dishes was brought to the front hall half an hour later.

After seeing the food, Yuan Yongyi's eyes were shining. After picking up the chopsticks, he stared at the [Sea Dragon Pearl] closest to him and swallowed his saliva.

But she didn't lose her mind after all. She clutched her chopsticks and didn't do anything.

On behalf of the program, Huang Xiaoming expressed a welcome to the flying guests and food connoisseur Dai Long, and thanked everyone for their help.

After he finished speaking, Yuan Yongyi couldn't wait to ask: "Can you eat it?"

As a native of Lu Province, Huang Xiaoming looked at Dai Long, the oldest person at the table, and greeted with a smile: "Teacher Dai, please use your chopsticks first!"

Hearing this, Yuan Yongyi retracted the chopsticks he stretched out, looking at him with a resentful look, and a hungry spirit almost appeared behind him.

Dai Long picked up the knife and slashed the belly of the [Soup-filled Yellow Croaker]. After letting the soup in the belly of the yellow croaker gush out, he immediately put down the knife and said, "Eat all of them, I'm hungry too."

Yuan Yongyi was waiting for this sentence. After hearing this, he stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a fish ball, and stuffed it into his mouth.

After the Q-bomb fish balls were bitten, turbulent juices gushed out.

Tasting this taste, Yuan Yongyi almost burst into tears.

"too delicious…"

She muttered vaguely, and the chopsticks in her hand were already stretched out towards the [Wealthy Elephant].

Dai Long looked at the table full of delicacies, looked around, and then his eyes fell on [Walking in the Snow to Look for Bears].

Among the dishes on the table, he was the most curious about the texture and taste of this dish.

So, he waited patiently for "Looking for Bears in the Snow" to come to him, then picked up the spoon and scooped out the "bear paws".

The spoon cut into the "bear's paw" covered with fish roe. Just like what he had observed before, the spoon cut into the "bear's paw" with almost no obvious obstruction.

This is the feeling... With a trace of expectation in Dai Long's eyes, he dug gently, and a crystal clear, jelly-like "bear's paw" was dug out by him.

Picking up the spoon, he looked at the "bear paws" in the spoon and admired it.

The pale white gelatinous body was trembling, as if it were fish oil, and it was very tempting.

On top of it, there is a fine layer of caviar, exuding a hint of fishy saltiness.

Turning his eyes, Dai Long took the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, cleared his mouth, and then put the "bear's paw" in the spoon into his mouth.

When entering the "Bear Paw", the soft fish jelly melted instantly when it met the warm tongue, turning into a slightly thick soup.

The soup is full of the aroma of sturgeon meat, but not salty enough, making it seem a little bland.

But then, as the soup melted, the caviar on top was mixed into the soup, and the salty and umami flavor burst out instantly.

The burst of flavor is like a bomb exploding, instantly stimulating the aroma of the sturgeon in the soup and multiplying the aroma several times.

The delicious taste made Dai Long couldn't help but lift his tongue and sip the caviar in the soup.

Guji!

He swallowed the soup mixed with salty flavor, but the distinct fish roe remained on his tongue.

Gently bite it with your teeth, and the fish roes are like water balls, bursting out streams of salty juice.

The sturgeon soup dilutes the salt in the caviar, making its own umami flavor more prominent, and even brings out a hint of sweetness.

With the squeezing and rejection of the teeth, the fish roe continuously bursts out with salty and fresh juice, and the taste is wonderful.

"Hmph~!"

Dai Long exhaled through his nostrils.

When he inhaled again, he felt that even his nostrils were filled with the delicious taste of fish soup and caviar, which was extremely enjoyable.

Finally, he swallowed all the caviar in his mouth.

He wanted to take another bite, but [Walking in the Snow to Seek Bears] had already been transferred away.

Dai Long looked at Li Yi as he smacked the taste in his mouth with unfinished thoughts.

Li Yi turned [Walking in the Snow to Look for Bears] closer and motioned to Liu Yifei beside him: "Try this."

Liu Yifei picked up the spoon, scooped up a piece, took a bite, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Yi smiled softly, raised his eyebrows at her, then picked up a piece of pork slices, dipped it in the sauce, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"Ayi."

Dai Long looked at Li Yi, pointed at him [Walking in the Snow to Search for Bears], and asked curiously: "Who taught you how to cook that aspic?"

Li Yi said casually: "No one taught me, I figured it out myself."

"impossible."

Dai Long shook his head: "The control of this kind of heat is definitely not something that one person can try out casually."

Hearing this, Li Yi looked back at him, smiled, and then asked, "Do you know the exhaustive method?"

"What exhaustive method?"

Dai Long was stunned.

"It's similar to the complete induction method in mathematics, which is to list all possible permutations and combinations, and then try them one by one."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "It's like if you forget the three-digit password of your suitcase, just start trying from 001 to 999. There will definitely be a number among them that can open the suitcase.

Therefore, the same is true for aspic. As long as there are enough test samples and regular observations and summaries, all its states can be collected.

It’s not difficult to cook a pot of pork skin, take a sample every minute after the water boils, and register the status of each minute, right? "

Dai Long was speechless after hearing Li Yi's words.

After a moment of silence, he finally asked: "You mean, you used this stupid method to make this kind of aspic?"

"Stupid way?"

Li Yi shook his head: "This is not a stupid method, it is a very scientific and effective experimental method. Many biological and material laboratories use this method to find new substances and new materials.

Modern food technology can also use this method to crack spice formulas. In the face of this method, there are no secrets to the secret formulas that have been passed down for hundreds of years, or the hot pot ingredients that were passed down by one line hundreds of years ago.

Making aspic is the simplest application of this method. It is not difficult. As long as you are willing to try, you can always try it. "

Dai Long fell silent after listening to Li Yi's explanation.

He subconsciously felt that Li Yi did not use this method to make aspic, but he also felt that what Li Yi said made sense.

Thinking about the booming prepared food industry in recent years, various food flavors, and even relevant essential oils for wok gas, he couldn't help but feel worried.

If technology really develops in the future and completely cracks the relevant principles of cooking, will the profession of chef, which has lasted for thousands of years, disappear?
