"Is it spicy?"

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

Seeing him teasing her, Liu Yifei raised her head and said, "It's not spicy! Hiss..."

Before she finished speaking, she exposed herself.

"Is it that spicy?"

Wu Kaiyuan curiously picked up a clam and tasted it, and immediately took in the cold air.

"This chili is so strong!"

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 and refreshing!

“The shabu shabu is spicy, of course it’s strong enough.”

Li Yi called the waiter and asked her to go to the kitchen and bring over the cooked almond tofu.

Shabu shabu spicy is a variant of wild millet spicy. It is one of the hottest chili peppers in China.

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

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

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

So this kind of chili is also called elephant trunk spicy by the locals.

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

The Indian devil pepper is the hottest pepper in the world, with over one million Scoville units.

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

If you use such spicy chili peppers to cook dishes, you can tell with your feet that it will definitely be spicy.

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

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

It is often not obvious at first, but it is the most unbearable when the strength builds up.

Liu Yifei couldn't hold herself any longer, and tears even began to appear in the corners of her eyes.

She felt a little regretful that she had tried to be brave and had to order the abnormally spicy fried clams.

At this time, the waiter came over with a tray and took down each exquisite small bowl from the tray.

The bowl contained a milky white object that looked like liquid but was not flowing.

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

It was more like jelly, trembling slightly as the waiter took it.

Seeing that Liu Yifei was so spicy that she burst into tears, Li Yi pointed to the small bowl and said, "This is almond tofu. Eat a bowl and it won't be spicy anymore."

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

The smooth and tender texture like jelly allowed the piece of almond tofu to slide through her mouth without any hindrance, and then was crushed by her tongue and swallowed.

And in the area where the "jelly" slid over, the burning and stinging pungency seemed to be relieved a lot.

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

This time, after the spiciness dissipated a bit, she also tasted the 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 slightly cooler, but not to the point of freezing.

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

“This is delicious!”

Liu Yifei was amazed.

Although Li Yi's fried rice is also delicious, it is not as amazing as this almond tofu.

This almond tofu is particularly to her liking.

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

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

"Brother Yi? Is this almond tofu?"

She asked in confusion: "But it tastes like milk?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lei interrupted and replied: "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."

Then, she curiously asked: "This almond tofu is so magical! It doesn't get spicy after eating it! Why?"

Li Yi explained calmly: "This is a Taoist dessert, it is served at the Manchu and Han banquets.

In the old way of making it, no milk is added, and the main ingredient used is almonds.

Almonds have the effects of relieving coughs, asthma, and analgesics. Although they are also effective in relieving spicy food, they are still not as effective as milk.

The casein in milk is a very good emulsifier, which can wrap capsaicin and prevent capsaicin from coming into contact with the gastrointestinal mucosa of the body, thus avoiding capsaicin's harm to the human body and achieving the purpose of relieving spicy food."

"So that's it..."

Liu Yifei nodded ignorantly, but then she suddenly thought of something.

It takes time to make this, but as soon as her side was spicy, the almond tofu was served.

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

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

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

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

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

Therefore, he knew that he could not 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 stunned for a moment, then waved his hand indifferently: "You're welcome, it's just a matter of convenience."

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

Everyone had almost eaten, took a short rest, and got up to pack up and prepare to leave.

We have to continue working tomorrow, and the program crew has a lot of things to do.

However, since the camera is not turned on for the time being, the artists have free time.

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

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

Zhao Jinmai also shook his head: "I want to read the script, but I may not have time."

"It's boring."

Wu Lei complained bitterly, 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 he then added: "Remember to wear clothes that are resistant to stains, 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! It has everything!"

After hearing what Li Yi said, Zhao Jinmai suddenly said, "I want to go too."

"Don't you want to read the script?" Wu Lei came over and teased with a smile.

"I suddenly remembered that someone said that combining work and rest is more efficient."

"Tch! Just tell me if you want to play, and we can combine work and rest..."

"You deserve another beating, don't you?"

Listening to their play, Li Yi was recalling the raw materials needed for the tofu feast.

When he returned to reality this time, he also had a mission.

His mission is to recreate a complete tofu banquet so that the Queen will hiccup after eating it.
