Chapter 69 Oily bean skin and bean skin

"Wow! It smells so good!"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Jinmai ran to the pot and looked at the large pot full of soy milk in amazement.

"Try it and see."

Li Yi scooped out a bowl and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

Zhao Jinmai took the bowl.

Wu Lei stretched his neck: "No thank you, brother Lei? I spent the whole morning grinding before I could drink your soy milk."

"Well, thank you too, Brother Lei, thank you for your hard work!"

Zhao Jinmai said while holding back a smile, then looked around and asked, "Is there any candy?"

Li Yi heard this and asked: "Why do you want candy?"

“You have to add sugar to drink soy milk!”

Zhao Jinmai explained: "I like to drink something sweeter."

After hearing what she said, without waiting for Li Yi to explain, Wu Lei said sadly: "Silly girl, adding sugar is really a waste of such a delicious soy milk! Just drink it! This soy milk is fragrant and sweet, there is no need to add sugar.

!”

"Really?"

Zhao Jinmai doubtfully picked up the bowl and took a cautious sip. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow! It really smells good! It's a little sweet!"

Li Yi explained: "It's the sweetness of carbohydrates, which is much softer than the sweetness of sucrose."

"Where's mine? Where's mine?"

Liu Yifei urged from the side.

"You are indispensable."

Li Yi scooped out a bowl with a smile and handed it to her.

Liu Yifei took the bowl, took a brief sip, and her eyes lit up. She didn't bother to say anything more, she just gave Li Yi a thumbs up, then took a sip of the bowl and started drinking.

Seeing them all drinking happily, the live broadcast room was flooded with drooling comments.

"Ah! It makes me want to drink it too!"

"[drooling][drooling][drooling][drooling]"

"It's decided, I'll drink two bowls of soy milk and fried dough sticks tomorrow morning!"

"This fresh soy milk is the most delicious! Oh my god! My mouth is watering!"

"Is it really not fishy without adding sugar?"

"Fresh beans really don't smell fishy at all. When we make bean curd here, we only use fresh beans, otherwise there will be a fishy smell."

Li Yi turned down the fire, looked outside the door, and asked, "Where is the store manager?"

"I went out, I think I went to put up signs."

Wu Lei explained while drinking.

When Li Yi heard this, he scooped out a bowl and put it aside as a gift for Huang Xiaoming.

Then, he found a pack of paper cups, scooped some out, and motioned to Wu Lei: "Give it to everyone so that everyone can have a try."

With that said, he picked up a glass and handed it to PD Master Cai who was taking pictures of him: "Brother Cai, try it."

We have something good to share. With so many staff present, how can we let them all just watch?

Wu Lei raised his head and drank the soy milk in the bowl, then followed Li Yi and distributed the soy milk to the staff on site.

Seeing each and every staff member drinking soy milk, their faces were full of surprise, and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but praise them one after another.

"Li Yi is quite nice. He didn't forget to feed the staff some."

"I want to drink too! Is it still too late to apply for a job at Mango Station?"

Asking Wu Lei to distribute it to the remaining staff, Li Yi returned to the big pot and took a look at the soy milk in the pot.

He had just turned down the heat, and the soy milk in the pot had stopped boiling.

The surface of the soy milk gradually cools and a golden film condenses on it.

Seeing this, Li Yi took a few clean bamboo strips and built a shelf.

Then, he inserted a bamboo strip into the soy milk along the edge of the pot, and gently lifted up the film.

"Eh?"

Liu Yifei noticed this, came closer with a bowl, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"In some places it's called Youdoupi, and in other places it's called Tofuyi."

Li Yi explained casually, then picked up the peeled bean skin, turned it into a rolled strip, and placed it on the bamboo shelf: "After drying like this, it will harden and become

It will turn into yuba."

"Ah? Is this how the yuba is made?"

Zhao Jinmai came closer in surprise and looked at Li Yi's movements curiously: "I thought it was made by modern people using machines!"

Li Yi smiled and explained: "Yuba has a history of more than a thousand years and appeared during the Tang Dynasty, but it was not called by this name at that time.

It was named bean curd in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the Ming Dynasty. Later, because it looked like a bamboo branch, it was also called bean curd."

While he was talking, another layer of bean curds had condensed in the pot. Li Yi stretched out his hand and pinched the bean curds, and pulled the bean curds out of the pot.

"oops!"

Zhao Jinmai was startled and asked in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of getting burned?"

"Fortunately, the soy milk is not boiling now. The surface is only over 70 degrees. As long as the speed is fast enough, it won't be too hot."

Li Yi said and put the tofu skin on the shelf.

Liu Yifei watched him peeling the bean curd from the pot and asked curiously: "Are you making tofu or bean curd?"

"Both of these things come out of the same pot."

Li Yi explained: "Tofu skin is an oily film formed by condensation of the natural fat in soy milk. It is necessary to extract all these natural fats so that the remaining soy milk will be more likely to clump."

"So that's it."

Liu Yifei nodded in understanding.

Zhao Jinmai on the side asked again: "Then the dried tofu we usually eat is pulled out of the pot in this way?"

"That's not true."

Li Yi explained: "This is fried bean curd, and dry tofu is bean curd. The two are not the same thing.

The oily soybean skin is fat, which is condensed from boiled soy milk, just like the milk skin in milk.

The tofu skin is made from tofu, and it is made in the same way as tofu. It is pressed, but it is pressed very thin."

"Okay, I like to eat them anyway."

Zhao Jinmai stuck out his tongue and asked with a smile: "Are you going to make tofu skin this time?"

"Do."

Li Yi nodded: "I want to make vegetarian chicken, vegetarian beef, and vegetarian ham. These must be made with tofu skin."

“Is the meat also vegetarian?”

Zhao Jinmai was stunned.

"some."

Liu Yifei explained: "In some temples, some vegetarian dishes are made, including vegetarian chicken, vegetarian meat and other dishes, but they are all made of tofu."

"That's it!"

Zhao Jinmai nodded and then complained: "Since we are already vegetarians, why do we have to make it look like meat? Isn't this unnecessary?"

"This is called imitation meat dish."

Li Yi picked up bean curds and explained: "During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism began to be introduced into our country. At that time, Buddhism strongly advocated asceticism and advocated vegetarianism among Buddhists, but it was not widely promoted. At that time, even monks could eat meat.

of.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty promulgated the "Wen on the Abstinence of Wine and Meat" because he believed deeply in Buddhism, advocating that Buddhists should be vegetarians and stipulating that monks must strictly implement it.

So since then, all the monks in the country have become vegetarians.

However, there is a requirement in the "Essay on Cutting Out Wine and Meat" that all three animals used for sacrifice must be made vegetarian.

The common people had no choice. They couldn't use real meat for sacrifices, and they had to ensure that the three animals could maintain their original forms, so they tried to use soy products to make them look like meat. Later, they gradually evolved into imitation meat dishes."

Liu Yifei was curious: "Can imitation meat dishes taste like real meat?"

Li Yi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Of course. All the meat dishes you can think of can be made into imitation meat versions. I guarantee you won't be able to tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones."
