Chapter 72 Nutty flavor
With the help of Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, Li Yi quickly filled thousands of molds for making dried tofu.
However, dried tofu and Qianzhang require a relatively long time to press, and you have to wait until at least the afternoon to press them.
While the old tofu was solidifying, Li Yi melted the gypsum powder, poured a bucket of tender tofu with the gypsum powder, and pressed it with a mold.
By the time the soft tofu is put into the mold, the brine tofu here has almost been pressed.
Seeing that half an hour had passed, Li Yi came to the mold of marinated tofu and gently poked the tofu with his finger.
The elastic texture, like fat pork, told him that the tofu was ready.
"It's ready to eat."
As he spoke, he removed the gauze covering the tofu, revealing the golden tofu inside.
"Eh? Why is it golden?"
Zhao Jinmai asked in surprise: "The tofu we usually eat is always white?"
"Because the beans used are different and the water is different."
Li Yi reminded: "How can the beans I bought for five hundred yuan a pound be the same as ordinary beans?"
Wu Lei lowered his head to the side of the tofu and smelled it. He groaned and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It smells like nuts!"
Li Yi took a thin bamboo slice, cut a piece from the tofu, and handed it to Liu Yifei who was standing aside: "Try it."
"Ah? Just eat it like this?"
Liu Yifei hesitated.
"Okay, you can try it." Li Yi stretched out the bamboo piece.
When Liu Yifei saw this, she stretched out her hands and took the tofu.
She held the tofu, lowered her head and smelled it, and was a little surprised: "It really has the aroma of nuts!"
"Fresh tofu will have this taste."
Li Yi explained: "The tofu I usually buy in the supermarket has a little bit of it, but if it is soaked in water for too long, the flavor will disappear."
"I've never smelled it before, this is the first time."
As Liu Yifei spoke, she raised her head and stuffed the tofu in her hand into her mouth.
When the soft tofu entered her mouth, she took a deep breath and her eyes widened in surprise.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Zhao Jinmai looked at her with an inquiring look on his face.
"Um!"
Liu Yifei nodded vigorously and smiled at Zhao Jinmai, but was speechless.
While chewing, she grabbed Zhao Jinmai's hand and squeezed it hard, as if she wanted to tell Zhao Jinmai how delicious the tofu was.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Zhao Jinmai cried out in pain.
Seeing this, Liu Yifei quickly swallowed the tofu in her mouth and pulled her to signal: "Maimai, try it quickly. This tofu is delicious! It really has a nutty aroma! It's a little sweet, just like eating a bite of soybean cake."
!”
When Zhao Jinmai heard this, he didn't care about the pain anymore. He turned around and stretched out his hand to Li Yi: "Brother Yi, Brother Yi! Give me a piece to try!"
Without saying anything, Li Yi cut off a piece and placed it on her palm.
Holding the trembling tofu cube, Zhao Jinmai lowered his head and smelled it, and suddenly burst into laughter: "It really smells good!"
With that said, she couldn't wait to take a bite.
The soft and tender tofu does not require the use of teeth at all. Just press it lightly with your tongue and it will quickly break apart.
As the tofu breaks open, a rich bean flavor spreads and quickly fills the entire mouth.
"Um!"
Zhao Jinmai also hummed and his eyes widened.
She knew why Liu Yifei just squeezed her hand and stopped talking. She was reluctant to speak to let the smell of beans in her mouth dissipate.
She chewed it carefully until all the tofu was chewed up before swallowing it.
Then, she exclaimed: "This tofu is so delicious! It tastes better than what I had when I was a child!"
"Is it like soybean cake?"
Liu Yifei asked her with a smile.
"Um!"
Zhao Jinmai nodded repeatedly in praise: "I feel like eating the delicious bean buns from our hometown. It's a bit like bean paste filling, but made of soybeans and not so sweet, but the nutty flavor is really strong!"
Listening to their descriptions, Wu Lei swallowed his saliva and quickly raised his hand: "Brother Yi, me! Me!"
After taking a look at him, Li Yi cut off a small piece with a bamboo knife and handed it to him: "Here."
"ah?"
Wu Lei was disappointed: "That's it?"
Li Yi said seriously: "Tofu contains soy isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens. If you want to enlarge your breasts, you can eat them all."
"..."
Wu Lei was dumbfounded.
"Haha! I'm just teasing you, eat it!"
Li Yi smiled and put the tofu on the palm of his hand: "The content is not that exaggerated. It's okay to eat less."
Wu Lei looked at the tofu in his palm and hesitated.
He doesn't want to enlarge his breasts!
But smelling the nutty aroma of the warm tofu, he couldn't resist the temptation after all. He put this small piece of tofu into his mouth and tasted it carefully.
After chewing the tofu carefully and swallowing it in one gulp, he exclaimed: "Wow! It's delicious!"
"Another piece?"
Li Yi cut off a piece of tofu to tease him.
"No, it doesn't work. Just give it a try."
Wu Lei waved his hands repeatedly.
Then, he was a little worried that he couldn't stand the temptation, so he turned around and ran out the door: "I'll call Brother Xiao Ming!"
Li Yi smiled and looked at the live broadcast screen. The audience in the live broadcast room was posting comments and the discussion was lively.
"Nani? Can you enlarge your breasts? Hurry up and click on the link! I will buy it even if I try to sell you something!"
"Please be sure to give my Mai Mai more food!"
"Haha! I have already imagined Wu Lei endorsing men's underwear!"
"God, please give me some advice. How can I let my wife see this video without leaving any trace?"
Huang Xiaoming came back soon. He had been busy all morning, running all the routes to various scenic spots in the Forbidden City, and also participated in safety training. He had not eaten a bite until now, and he was tired and hungry.
After returning to the restaurant, he ate a large piece of tofu and felt as satisfied as he was in heaven.
In the live broadcast room, AI software was used to add a pair of cartoon wings to him later, and some special effects were added.
This also stimulated the audience's playfulness, and everyone gave special effects gifts.
As a result, Li Yi and others in the live broadcast were transformed by special effects into a fat man with a runny nose, and then into a flower, and the audience had a great time.
The program team was happy to see the success, the audience had a good time, and the program team also received gifts, killing two birds with one stone.
But after playing for a while, the spectator who gave the gift was stopped by other spectators.
This kind of special effect for gifts was quite interesting the first few times I saw it, but if you give it too much, it will affect your viewing.
In front of the camera, Huang Xiaoming finished a large piece of tofu before he took the time to ask Li Yi: "How do you make this tofu? It's so delicious!"
Li Yi pointed to the camera: "It's all captured. I'll send you a backup copy when you go back. Just go back and learn how to do it."
"That's great."
Huang Xiaoming took a sip of water, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, the guests coming tomorrow have been confirmed."
"Oh? Who is it?"
Liu Yifei asked curiously.
