Chapter 166 Herbal Tea
Author: round head and round belly
An impromptu karaoke event didn't end until two o'clock in the morning.
After Li Yi's performance of "The Empty City", everyone got a little excited and sang one song after another, whether it was a nostalgic hit or a hip-hop rap song.
Had a lot of fun.
The audience in the live broadcast room also stayed with me until two o'clock, and only left the live broadcast room after they ended the broadcast.
The data of this live broadcast shows that since the start of the karaoke event, the live broadcast room has occupied the top of all lists on the platform, attracting tens of millions of people to watch.
After the live broadcast ended, topics related to this live broadcast also directly hit the hot searches on major platforms and became a hot topic among netizens.
Countless viewers who watched the live broadcast commented on the relevant posts to other viewers.
"Everyone go watch this live slice! It's so fun!"
"Huang Xiaoming's singing in person is too much! If you don't watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Brother Yi is so awesome! He can even sing a few lines in a play!"
"Haha! This season of "Chinese Restaurant" has almost reached the ceiling of variety shows in my mind. Can you believe that a group of celebrities went to KTV to sing songs all night?"
However, at this time, Li Yi and others were unaware of the heated discussion on the Internet. They were sitting in the car returning to the hotel, still not recovering from the afterglow of the carnival just now.
Wu Lei was sitting in the front row, raising his hand and gesturing: "Look ahead, the dark hole must be the thief's nest!"
This is a chant he pestered Li Yi to teach him.
After hearing his words, Huang Xiaoming also started to read: "When I catch up, I will kill him completely!"
Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai in the back row followed up with laughter: "If you follow the right path, you won't get the tiger's den!"
Seeing them chanting enthusiastically, Li Yi smiled and said: "You are poisoned?"
"I was brainwashed by you!"
Liu Yifei looked at him with a smile.
Shaking his head, Li Yi joked: "You guys, be careful that you will dream about riding a pulley with Gao Chong tonight."
"Haha! That's better!"
Wu Lei smiled and said: "From today on, Gao Chong is my idol!"
Hearing this, Li Yi asked deliberately: "Isn't your idol me? Why did you rebel so quickly?"
"There are many idols!"
Wu Lei chuckled: "At most, you can be the big idol, and Gao Chong can be the second idol."
"..."
Li Yi shook his head speechlessly.
This guy really lined up for him.
Liu Yifei looked at him and asked: "Brother Yi, what shall we do tomorrow?"
"The main work tomorrow is to make rice noodle sauce and receive the goods."
Li Yi had already sent the list to the staff in the afternoon. The goods would be shipped to the plane tomorrow and picked up in the afternoon or evening.
The meal this time is relatively simple, unlike [imitation cheap cuisine] where it takes several days to prepare just the raw materials.
Therefore, Li Yi said: "Everyone can sleep a little longer tomorrow. We can go there at ten o'clock and it's totally time."
"Very good!"
Liu Yifei was very happy to hear that she could sleep a little longer. She raised her hands and cheered: "Long live Brother Yi!"
Karaoke singing was more physically demanding than working in the afternoon. After Li Yi returned to the hotel, he took a quick shower, went to bed, soaked the pillow, and it was the next morning when he opened his eyes again.
Although he slept all night, Li Yi still felt a little tired.
When he met several other people, he found that he was not the only one like this.
Wu Lei had a pair of sleepy eyes and looked like he hadn't woken up.
Huang Xiaoming was even worse than him, with extremely clear black circles under his eyes.
When he saw Li Yi, Huang Xiaoming complained angrily: "Wu Lei, I live next door to him, and I heard him shouting about dark holes and dens of thieves all night long. The noise kept me awake most of the night."
Wu Lei rubbed his eyes and muttered: "I can't help it. These words Brother Yi taught me are too brainwashing. The more I shout, the more addictive I become. Once I get addicted, I can't stop."
"No matter how enjoyable it is, you can't sacrifice my sleep, right?"
Huang Xiaoming looked at him helplessly, wanting to cry but without tears.
"It's okay."
Li Yi comforted him with a smile: "When you get to the restaurant, you can relax for a while. Today's work is not busy."
When Huang Xiaoming heard this, he gave up and immediately asked: "Where are Maimai and Yifei? They haven't come down yet?"
Just as he was talking, the elevator door opened, and neatly dressed Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai walked out.
"morning."
Liu Yifei feels refreshed.
"canal…"
When Zhao Jinmai opened his mouth, his hoarse voice startled everyone.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Huang Xiaoming asked with concern.
Zhao Jinmai explained in a hoarse voice: "I blew the air conditioner too hard last night, and I caught a cold. I sang and shouted too loud, and my throat couldn't bear it."
Listening to her explanation, Huang Xiaoming sighed: "It's my fault, I asked you to turn down the air conditioner by two degrees yesterday."
"fine…"
Zhao Jinmai waved his hand: "It would be better if I spoke less."
Seeing this, Li Yi said, "When you get to the restaurant later, I'll make you some herbal tea. You'll be fine soon."
"Okay, thank you Brother Yi."
Zhao Jinmai looked at Li Yi gratefully.
Li Yidian said: "Okay, try to speak as little as possible. If you want to say something, you can use gestures."
Hearing this, Zhao Jinmai seemed to have thought of something, and gestured to Li Yi to wait a moment, then reached into his pocket for something.
Li Yi thought she had something to give him, so he was waiting for her.
In the end, she took out a few times, took out her hand, and made a heart sign to Li Yi with her thumb and index finger.
"..."
Li Yi glanced at her, then at Wu Lei, and asked, "Did you teach me this?"
Wu Lei felt guilty and shouted: "Why do you teach me all the embarrassing jobs?"
Sighing and saying no more, Li Yi greeted: "Let's go! Go to the restaurant!"
Soon, the group returned to the restaurant.
After the carnival last night, when we returned to the restaurant, everyone felt like they were going to work on Monday.
Li Yi went straight to the kitchen, rummaged through the spice cabinet, and quickly found what he needed.
Platycodon, Pomegranate, orange, Ophiopogon japonicus, licorice, lotus seeds, dandelion, honeysuckle, lily, mint...these are all herbs used to make herbal tea.
Herbal tea is a beverage drunk by people in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
Strictly speaking, it should be a medicinal drink because its raw materials are all traditional Chinese herbal medicines.
And the combination of different herbs will give herbal tea different effects.
For example, the herbs Li Yi found were all used to help Zhao Jinmai relieve his throat symptoms.
After putting all these ingredients into a casserole and throwing two pieces of rock sugar into it, Li Yi turned on medium heat and started cooking.
Zhao Jinmai was surprised to see Li Yi bringing out so many medicinal materials, and gestured to Li Yi to ask.
After watching her gesture for a long time, Li Yi didn't even understand what she wanted to say.
Fortunately, Liu Yifei understood her and helped her ask: "She wants to ask you, why do you have so many herbs?"
"oh."
Only then did Li Yi understand, and then explained: "In traditional dietary culture, many condiments are originally herbal medicines, such as cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, nutmeg, and many more, which are all Chinese herbal medicines.
These herbs can actually be used in vegetables.
Licorice can be used to stew chicken, lily can be used to make soup, lotus seeds can be used to make porridge, dandelion can be used in cold dishes, and mint can also be used for seasoning.
That’s why some people say that a good cook is as good as half a good doctor!”
