Chapter 199 There is a reason why you should be expensive!

In the minds of many people, cake cutting in the Western Regions has been equated with being expensive and deceptive.

Because of the forced buying and selling by some unscrupulous vendors, many jokes about cake cutting have been circulating on the Internet.

After Li Yi and Reba talked about cutting cakes, a barrage of ridicule suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Show off your wealth?"

"Cut cakes from the Western Regions, and get a flat in the capital with one knife."

"You actually want to cut cakes? It's inhumane!"

"One cut of this thing will make Brother Yun bankrupt, two cuts will make Hua Teng cry, three cuts will cut Gates down on his knees, four cuts will cut CCTV's meeting, five cuts will cut the economy into decadence, six cuts will cut civilization into regression, and seven cuts will cut the world into collapse.

Cut primitive society into eight pieces!”

"Is cut cake expensive? Don't you think so? Last time I drove to buy cut cake, and I bought a big piece for only about a hundred yuan, but I was a little tired walking home!"

Reba also saw the barrage in the live broadcast room and hurriedly explained: "Maren candy is indeed a bit expensive, but the raw materials used are all good. Mainly because some unscrupulous vendors have ruined the reputation of cutting cakes, but in fact, Maren candy

Sugar is truly the real deal.”

Seeing that she was eager to justify the delicacies of her hometown, Li Yi smiled and said: "I can prove this. The cost of good Maren candy is indeed not low. You can take a look at the materials I use and calculate the cost before making a judgment.

, Justice is in the heart of the people!"

With that said, he boiled the pot dry, and then poured the prepared glucose syrup into the pot.

Pouring the syrup, Li Yi introduced to the camera: "The syrup used in authentic marrenola is made from grape juice pressed from grapes, and nothing else is added.

I made these syrups from grape juice yesterday. I used a total of 30 kilograms of grapes and made these five kilograms of glucose syrup at a cost of about 600 yuan."

Then, he slowly pushed the syrup with a spatula so that the syrup could be heated evenly and gradually boiled.

Seeing a lot of bubbles in the syrup, Li Yi turned off the heat, then picked up the dried fruits Liu Yifei and the others brought over and added them in one by one.

"There are walnut kernels here. The ones I chose are Xingtuan Red 185 paper-skinned walnut kernels. The cost is 81 kilograms. There are two kilograms here, and the total is 160 yuan."

"Here is almond wood. The cost is forty-five kilograms. There are two kilograms here, totaling ninety."

"This is an extra-large cashew nut. The cost is 75 per kilogram. The total is two kilograms, which is exactly 150."

"There are also peanut kernels produced in Hotan, two kilograms in total, costing fifty."

"These are Xiangfei raisins. One kilogram is sixty. If you add two kilograms, the total is one hundred and twenty."

"There's more here..."

Watching Li Yi put all the dried fruits into the pot, stir them, and introduce the ingredients, the audience in the live broadcast room was also silently calculating the price.

It was not unknown, but after calculation, the audience was surprised to find that the price of this pot of malan sugar had unexpectedly reached thousands!

After calculating this, the cost of cutting the cake must be more than one hundred per kilogram, which is fifty per kilogram.

The cost is indeed not low, but it doesn't seem to be as expensive as everyone thinks.

Seeing this, many viewers realized the problem.

“I haven’t bought it, I just saw it from netizens saying it’s very expensive, but looking at it this way, it’s expensive for a reason!”

"The cost is 50 pounds per pound, but it may be sold for 80 pounds per pound. It is indeed not cheap, but the materials used are really solid! They are all dried fruits! And they are also glued with syrup boiled with grape juice. It is not expensive at all.

!”

"If I were to buy this kind of cut cake, I would pay $100 per pound, but the ones we sell here are all made of peanuts and sugar syrup. They are hard as hell, sweet as hell, and they are also very expensive. It's so deceptive.

!”

"So this is what real cake cutting looks like! Those unscrupulous vendors have really ruined the reputation of my hometown!"

Seeing the comments from the audience, Reba also smiled: "Actually, there are bad people everywhere. Don't make generalizations. Most people in the Western Regions are very warm and friendly."

"yes!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jinmai nodded with deep understanding: "Nowadays, many people on the Internet are laughing at us Northeasterners, saying that we eat dumplings and pour them on the table. A bag of miso can eat a green belt. I sometimes see

Those comments make me feel quite sad.

There are bad people everywhere. The old family members I know are all very enthusiastic, very simple, and particularly warm-hearted. Some bad people do not represent all of us Northeasterners. We also hate such people and phenomena like everyone else."

"So! We all need to unite a little bit."

Reba smiled and spread his hands, and said with a smile: "As we people from the Western Regions often say, people of all ethnic groups should hug each other tightly like pomegranate seeds, and people from all places should also unite, like pomegranate seeds.

We should hug each other as tightly as seeds, let’s hug each other!”

As she said that, she smiled, hugged Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, and hugged them together.

Liu Yifei hugged her gently, feeling a little weird in her heart.

Is it because Reba is from an ethnic minority and has a more cheerful and enthusiastic personality?

Why does she want a hug every chance she gets?

"Tie Tie!"

Reba was elated.

It would be great if I could hold Yifei every day!

Seeing them hugging each other and laughing and joking, Li Yi shook his head and got down to work.

The dried fruits were mixed evenly, so he found a tray and brushed a layer of butter on it.

Then, he shoveled the marzipan out of the pot and placed it on the tray.

Using a wooden spatula to press the marzipan tightly, Li Yicai told Liu Yifei and others: "I leave the decoration work to you. How you want to decorate it depends on your hands-on ability."

The decoration of marren candy is to stick various colored preserved fruits on the surface of marren candy to form various patterns and patterns.

Every girl has no resistance to colorful things.

Seeing Li Yi taking out a bunch of preserved fruits of various colors, Liu Yifei and the other three happily came over and started to put together the pattern.

Let them have fun, and Li Yi came to Daxin.

Daxin had already kneaded the flour into a smooth dough, but he was still kneading it hard.

"it is ready."

Li Yi stopped him.

"Is this okay?"

Daxin stopped, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "This noodle kneading is quite effective in exercising. It stimulates the triceps and deltoid muscles very well! Am I addicted?"

"Yeah?"

When Li Yi saw him filling the cup, he smiled and said, "How about another bag?"

"Uh... I think it's almost enough."

Daxin laughed, a little frightened.

Kneading noodles is really a laborious task, and he may not be able to withstand another bag of noodles.

"Just kidding, that's enough."

Li Yi greeted with a smile: "Let's go! Go and see how the pilaf is cooking. They should be turning the pot already."

With that said, he took Daxin back to the front hall yard.

In the center of the yard, the duo was turning over the rice in the pot with shovels.

Under the tumbling of broth and mutton fat below, bursts of rich aroma were erupting outwards. The two of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva while turning over the rice.

The diners queuing up outside the restaurant were already overwhelmed by the aroma and were shouting outside, asking when the restaurant would open.

Huang Xiaoming and Wu Lei were outside trying their best to appease the diners, handing them out milk clams, almonds and other snacks.

Li Yi heard the crowd outside and came to the door to take a look, but was startled by the crowd queuing up.

Are half the visitors to the Forbidden City here?
