Chapter 710 Bird’s nest = IQ tax?
Li Yi prepared two bear paw dishes, which are the ones in the movie [Walking in the Snow to Seek Bears] and [One Palm Can Determine the World].
The pig's trotters marinated in the soup bucket are used to make "One Palm Determines the World". After Li Yi took out all the pig's trotter bones, he put them on the plate one by one.
Before putting it in the pot, Li Yi made a cut in the center of the two toes of the pig's trotter.
After marinating, the skin of the pig's trotters is rolled inward due to the heat, and after the toe bones are picked out, it is rolled into two parts.
In this way, the whole boneless pig's trotters seem to have four toes.
Then, Li Yi made a cut behind the inner finger of the pig's trotter, turned out the deboned inner finger, and a vivid "bear paw" appeared on the plate.
The photographer took a close-up and recorded this scene in the picture.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was all amazed when they witnessed this scene.
“It’s really a bit like it!”
“If I hadn’t seen how it was made with my own eyes, I would have thought this dish was bear paws when I first saw it!”
“That’s great! Why did you think of all this?”
While the audience was admiring, Li Yi had already placed the deboned pig's trotters on a plate, then made thirteen cuts across the top of the pig's trotters, then placed the prepared honeycomb honey on top of the pig's trotters and sent it to the steamer. The box is steaming.
The processing of this step is the same as in the movie. The purpose is to steam the honey out of the hive and penetrate it into the meat.
However, the symbolic significance of this method is greater, and it does not change the taste of the ingredients much, because the amount of honeycomb honey is too small, far less than pouring a spoonful of honey syrup directly.
But this dish is wine-flavored and salty. Too much sweetness is not a good thing, so honeycomb honey is almost enough.
While steaming the pig's trotters, Li Yi took out the fermented blood swallows and prepared them for steaming.
Seeing the crystal clear appearance of Xueyan after it was haired, the audience in the live broadcast room was curious.
“Is this a blood swallow? It looks really red!”
“I heard that blood swallow is the best among bird’s nests, it’s a great supplement!”
“When I was working as a nanny for a boss in a magical city, after his wife gave birth to a baby, the boss asked me to stew blood swallows for his wife every day, saying it was to replenish the blood.”
“It is said that blood swallows build three nests every year. The first time is the thickest and whitest, the second time is almost the same, and the third time is when the blood swallows lay eggs.
At this time, the blood swallows are on the verge of giving birth and will work hard to build nests.
But because the body's physical strength and saliva could not be replenished, and the young swallows had to be fed, they had to work hard to build the third blood nest. This blood nest is the raw material of the blood bird's nest. "
“Wow! That sounds a bit cruel!”
“I am the blood swallow base in Indonesia. They are all the best first-hand blood swallows. If you are interested, you can click on my profile picture.”
Li Yi rinsed the bird's nest and glanced at the barrage.
Seeing someone advertising in the barrage, he reminded sternly: "Be careful, if you see someone advertising, don't buy it casually. 99% of the blood swallows on the market are fake.
Blood swallows are actually the nests of Thai swiftlets. Because of their red color, they are believed to be made by the swiftlets vomiting blood in order to build their nests.
But in fact it is just because swiftlets eat seaside algae and insects from deep mountains, flying ants, so their saliva cups contain more minerals.
In addition, some swiftlets will build their nests in dark and humid caves. When the nests get damp, they will react and turn the nests red.
So, only these bird's nests built in caves will produce blood swallows.
The nests in other places, even if they are built by swiftlets, do not appear blood-colored, but are all gray-white.
Nowadays, many manufacturers deliberately use nitrate-containing substances to pollute the living environment of swiftlets, making the nests appear red.
There are also unscrupulous traders who add nitrates and other chemicals into the swallows' feces, smoke ordinary bird's nests red, and sell them as blood bird's nests. These are all fake blood bird's nests, and eating them is not good for the body.
The reason why blood swallows are so expensive is actually caused by some bird's nest merchants in Hong Kong and Taiwan teaming up with merchants in Southeast Asia.
Everyone should think carefully and not be deceived by profiteers. ” ˆ ˆ Hearing Li Yi’s explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized.
“So that’s it, where is the blood swallow seller just now? Catch that profiteer!”
“Oh my god! I almost placed an order, but I was in danger of not turning off the live broadcast, and I almost got deceived by a profiteer.”
“Today’s profiteers are really hateful. They just sell fake goods and use chemicals to make the price. Nitrate is a carcinogen! I wish these profiteers will have children without buttholes!”
“Fortunately, I can’t afford to eat blood swallow, and profiteers can’t deceive me at all.”
In the barrage, the account that was advertising just now has disappeared.
But after a while, a barrage of complaints suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.
“There are still people who eat bird’s nests to replenish their health? This is ridiculous.”
“Bird’s nest is just a pure IQ tax, it has no nutrition at all.”
“How stupid do you have to be to eat swallow’s saliva?”
“It’s so stupid. Eating bird’s nests and bear paws. When will this barbaric custom disappear?”
Seeing these comments, Li Yi smiled.
"What? I'm blocking your way to make money, so you're looking for navy troops to set the pace?"
In the barrage, the barrage of complaints is still raging.
“Pull it down! Don’t you dare to respond directly? Do you dare to say that bird’s nest is nutritious?”
“Seeing how you make medicinal meals and fool people, you will know that you are also a leek cutter.”
“Should I say it or not, bird’s nest does have a bit of an IQ tax.”
“Scientists have tested that the main component of bird’s nest is protein. Eating bird’s nest is worse than eating eggs!”
“If you have the guts, respond positively. Do you dare to say that bird’s nests are more nutritious than eggs?”
Looking at these rhythmic barrages, Li Yi shook his head slightly.
These guys have been cut off from their way of making money, and they have indeed fallen into madness, and their way of making money will also be cut off.
But their rhythm was still effective, and some viewers were persuaded and started barraging.
“I seem to have read reports that the nutritional value of bird’s nest is indeed not as high as that of eggs.”
“When I was in biology class, the teacher said that bird’s nest is the IQ tax.”
“When it comes to nutrients, there must be a bit of an IQ tax. After all, it’s swallow’s saliva, but this thing, there’s no harm in drinking it. It’s good to buy it to cheer up my wife.”
“Brother Yi, can you explain it to me? Is bird’s nest an IQ tax?”
Looking at the barrage that was brought to a rhythm, Li Yi looked at the camera and said sternly: "It's okay if you are selling real blood swallows. I will definitely take care of those who are selling fake ones to deceive people.
From the perspective of modern chemistry, the nutritional value of bird's nest is indeed not high.
However, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is indeed a medicinal material.
From the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, saliva is body fluid.
"Lingshu·Jueqi" explains that when the joints are vented and sweat comes out, it is called fluid.
When the grain is filled with Qi, the Naoze is injected into the bones. The bones are bent and stretched, and the water is released to replenish the brain and marrow. The skin is moisturized, which is called liquid.
Why is bird's nest said to be good for women? This is because women will suffer from body fluid loss and dehydration after childbirth or menstruation, and need to replenish body fluids, qi and blood.
Bird's nest plays this role. "
