MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 59 Almond Tofu

  Chapter 59 Almond Tofu

   "Is it hot?"

  Li Yi looked at Liu Yifei who was holding her temple, and asked with a smile.

  Seeing him teasing herself, Liu Yifei raised her head stiffly: "Not spicy! Hiss..."

   Before she could finish her sentence, she exposed herself.

   "Is it that spicy?"

  Wu Kaiyuan curiously picked up a clam and tasted it, and immediately took a breath.

   "This chili is strong enough!"

  He hissed and took a sip of tea.

   But the tea was still a little hot, and under the stimulation of the hot tea, his face suddenly squeezed together.

  This taste is so sour!

   "Shabu Shabu is spicy, of course it's strong enough."

  Li Yi called the waiter and told her to go to the kitchen and bring over the prepared almond tofu.

  Shabu-shabu hot pepper is a variant of wild millet pepper. It is the hottest pepper in China, none of them.

  As the name suggests, its spiciness is too high, just put it in water and rinse it in the soup, it is already extremely spicy.

  It is produced in the Dehong area of ​​Yunnan Province, where elephants often appear.

  It is said that after an elephant accidentally touches this kind of pepper with its nose, it will be in unbearable pain, and it will run wildly with its nose.

  So this kind of pepper is also called elephant nose spicy by the locals.

  The international unit for measuring spiciness is Scoville, which is the amount of capsaicin contained in a unit sample.

  India's devil pepper is the hottest pepper in the world, with more than one million Scoville units.

   Shabu Shabu followed closely behind, ranking second with 440,000 Scoville units.

  Using such hot peppers to cook, even if you think about it with your feet, you know it will definitely be spicy.

  That's why Li Yi made almond tofu before frying the rice.

  The stimulation of natural capsaicin to the human body rises in a curve.

  It is often not obvious at the beginning, but when the stamina comes up, it is the most unbearable.

  Liu Yifei couldn't hold back any longer, tears even started to well up in the corners of her eyes.

  She regretted being brave, so she insisted on ordering the abnormally spicy fried clams.

  At this time, the waiter came over with a tray and took off delicate small bowls from the tray.

  The bowl contains a milky white substance that looks like a liquid, but it doesn't flow.

   It looks like tofu, but it is far more delicate than tofu.

  It is more like jelly, trembling slightly as the waiter handles it.

   Seeing that Liu Yifei was so hot that tears came out, Li Yi pointed to the small bowl and said, "This is almond tofu. If you eat a bowl, it won't be spicy anymore."

  Liu Yifei couldn't care too much at the moment. Hearing Li Yi's words, she pulled a small bowl over, scooped up a piece with a spoon, and put it in her mouth.

   The jelly-like texture made the piece of almond tofu slip through her mouth without any hindrance, and then it was crushed by her tongue and swallowed.

   And in the area where this piece of "jelly" slides, the scorching and tingling pungentness seems to have really been relieved a lot.

  Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly dug another piece of almond tofu and put it in her mouth.

   This time, after the spiciness dissipated, she also tasted the taste of this piece of almond tofu.

  It has a tender and smooth taste, with a rich milky and almond aroma.

  Because it has been frozen in the freezer, its temperature is a little bit cold, but not to the point of freezing.

  This makes it taste like thawed green tongue ice cream, cool, sweet, very sweet.

   "This is delicious!"

   Liu Yifei was amazed.

  Although Li Yi's water fried rice is delicious, it doesn't surprise her as much as this almond tofu.

   This almond tofu is especially suitable for her appetite.

  Li Yi's almond tofu is made per head, and everyone has a portion.

   Zhao Jinmai took a portion, dug out a piece with a spoon, and put it in his mouth, but he let out a sigh.

   "Brother Yi? Is this almond tofu?"

  She asked puzzledly, "But I taste like milk?"

  Wu Lei heard the words and interjected to answer: "The main ingredients of almond tofu are almonds and milk."

  Li Yi was noncommittal, and asked Liu Yifei, "Is it still spicy?"

  This time, Liu Yifei nodded honestly: "It's really not spicy this time."

  Following, she asked curiously: "This almond tofu is amazing! It doesn't feel spicy after eating it! Why?"

  Li Yi explained in an unhurried manner: "This is an old dessert, and it is served at the Manchu banquet.

  In the old way, it does not add milk, and the main ingredient it uses is almonds.

  Almonds have the effects of relieving cough, relieving asthma, and relieving pain. Although it also has a certain effect on relieving spicy food, it is still not as good as milk.

  The casein in milk is a very good emulsifier. It can wrap capsaicin and prevent capsaicin from contacting the gastrointestinal mucosa of the body, thereby avoiding the damage of capsaicin to the human body and achieving the purpose of relieving spicy food. "

   "It turns out that..."

  Liu Yifei nodded ignorantly, but suddenly thought of something after following her.

   It will take time to do this, but as soon as her side is spicy, the almond tofu is served.

   This shows that Li Yi already knew that she would be hot.

  She suddenly recalled that Li Yi's expression was a little strange when she was ordering spicy food before.

   He probably guessed that she would be hot at that time, right?

   This guy is really bad, why don't you remind her?

  After thinking about it, she remembered that Wu Kaiyuan had persuaded her at that time, but she herself seemed to be in high spirits at that time, and she insisted on being abnormally spicy.

  So, he knew he couldn't persuade himself, so he made almond tofu in advance to relieve her spicy...

  Thinking of this, Liu Yifei looked at Li Yi, and suddenly said, "Thank you!"

  Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands indifferently: "You're welcome, it's a matter of convenience."

  After seeing the power of the abnormal spicy fried clams, no one dared to try it again.

  Everyone had almost eaten, so after a short rest, they got up and packed up to leave.

  I will continue to work tomorrow, and the program crew still has a lot of work to do.

   But temporarily shut down the machine, the artistes have free time.

  Wu Lei was full of energy, jumping up and down along the way, asking: "Who wants to get up early for a run tomorrow morning? I will provide free wake-up service."

   "I can't get up." Liu Yifei knows herself very well.

  Zhao Jinmai also shook his head: "I want to read the script, maybe I don't have time."

   "Boring."

  Wu Lei complained angrily, then turned to Li Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, what about you? Do you want to get up early for a run?"

"OK!"

  Li Yi nodded.

   But following him, he added: "Remember to wear clothes that are resistant to dirt, and follow me to the farmer's market after running."

   "Really? Yes!"

  Wu Lei agreed excitedly: "I've been to the farmer's market, it's so fun! There's everything!"

  After hearing Li Yi's words, Zhao Jinmai suddenly interjected: "I want to go too."

   "Don't you want to read the script?" Wu Lei leaned over, laughing and teasing.

   "It suddenly occurred to me that someone said that combining work and rest is more efficient."

   "Cut! If you want to play, just say so, and combine work and rest..."

   "You owe a beating again, don't you?"

  Listening to their frolicking, Li Yi was recalling the raw materials needed for the tofu banquet in his mind.

  He returned to reality this time, also with a mission.

  His task is to recreate a complete tofu feast, so that the empress can burp.
