A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot Chapter 158

  Chapter 158 Fried Qi and Soil Fried Bun

   "Lai Nang Pit."

  Li Yi gave a brief answer to Wu Lei, and then asked the boss: "Then do you know where there is clean loess? It's closer."

The boss thought for a while, and then said: "Then we have to go further to the west, to Fangfang Mountain, to Zhoukoudian, where there are scenic spots, the environment is better protected, and there should be clean soil at the foot of the mountain... that's right! "

  As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something: "I have a friend who opened a fig-picking garden on the other side of the Hancun River. He must know, let me ask for you! Just wait for my call, and I will call right away."

   After speaking, he hung up the phone.

   Seeing him lock the screen of his phone, Wu Lei asked suspiciously: "Isn't soil everywhere? Why is it so difficult to find some soil?"

   "Of course the soil is everywhere, but what I want is relatively pure loess, which has not been polluted too much."

  Li Yi explained: "The pollution I'm talking about is not pollution from excrement, but pollution from construction waste, plastic waste, and pesticides."

  Hearing what Li Yi said, Master Cai couldn't help but interject: "Is there any land that doesn't use pesticides now?"

  On the mobile phone in his hand, the audience who just came to the live broadcast room also heard what he said, and couldn't help chatting.

   "There may be some people who don't use pesticides, but there are really none who don't use chemical fertilizers. Now farming, without fertilizers, they can't keep their capital at all."

   "It is said that food safety is important, but now farming, the pests and diseases are so serious, it is impossible not to use pesticides, insects are becoming more and more resistant to pesticides, if you don't fight, you will be ruined!"

   "It's okay, people in the city eat pesticides, and we eat pesticide-free food."

   "Damn! Who are the people in the city messing with? Is it easy to earn some hard money?"

   "Don't engage in confrontation! How can there be any rural people, urban people, generations down, everyone is the same!"

Hearing Master Cai's words, Li Yi also nodded: "The main reason is that we are in the North China Plain, where there is more cultivated soil, unlike the Northwest, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many Gobi deserts, so it is easy to find clean land. loess."

   As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the armrest of the seat.

  The car under them was driving on the North China Plain.

Wu Lei remembered something and started to recite it: "The North China Plain is one of the three major plains in my country, and it is also the most populous plain in the country. Adjacent to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, it spans 7 provinces and municipalities directly under the central government, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu."

   Hearing that he came as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Yes! You know all of this?"

"hey-hey!"

  Wu Lei smugly smiled: "Didn't I tell you? I have a good memory. When I was in school, I often compared memorization with my classmates. They were not as fast as me."

"good."

  Li Yi praised with a smile, and then asked: "Then let me ask you, what are the two main soil components in the North China Plain?"

  Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, and then stumbled back: "The North China Plain belongs to the temperate monsoon climate... ah, the tropical monsoon climate..."

  He scratched his head when he recited it here: "We haven't learned about soil composition?"

   "Never learned it? Did you forget it?"

  Li Yi said with a smile: "The zonal soil in the North China Plain is brown soil and cinnamon soil, both of which belong to forest soil, but one is brown and the other is brown."

"How did you know?"

  Wu Lei was surprised.

   "Didn't the teacher tell you that in class?"

  Li Yi smiled, brought the topic back, and explained: "This time I'm going to make Uyghur meals, and I need to use naan pits.

  But most of the local naan pits in the Western Regions are made of loess, so I also need to find some clean loess to build the naan pits.

  Because the naan cakes are to be pasted in the naan pit, although there is a layer of salt to block them, they may still be contaminated with some soil, so it must be safe and clean. "

   "Why use loess?"

  Wu Lei was puzzled: "As long as it is clean, other soils should be fine too?"

   "Not necessarily."

  Li Yi explained: "Different soils have different properties. For example, central China is generally covered with yellow tidal soil, which was brought over by the Yellow River from the upper reaches of the Loess Plateau.

  It is also loess in essence, but after it arrived here in the Central China Plain, its nature changed.

  Because the groundwater here is rich in content, when the temperature drops at night, it will return to moisture, so it is called yellow tidal soil.

  It can be in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, on the Loess Plateau, where the loess will never return to moisture, and will only maintain a soft silty shape.

   Such loess can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, which can cure heatstroke, vomiting and diarrhea, dysentery, carbuncle, ulcer, swelling and poison, and injury from falls.

  But the yellow tidal soil here has no such effect. "

  Hearing Li Yi's words, the audience in the live broadcast room also launched barrages one after another, expressing their agreement.

   "The soil in our place is powdery. Before the road was built, passing a car was like dust!"

  “I used to wear cloth shoes to school and walk back and forth on dirt roads. When I got home, I took off the shoes and tapped them, and I could knock out a few taels of dirt.”

   "I came from Jin Province. When I was a child, I hated my hometown very much. I always thought there was something good about that earthy nest, but now after I came out, I was homesick in my dreams."

"Loess is really a good thing. When I gave birth to Dabao, he always had diarrhea and rashes on his buttocks. I bought him the best diapers but it didn't work. Later, my mother-in-law brought a bag of loess from my hometown and sewed it for Dabao. It's a diaper, after Dabao uses it, the rash is really gone!”

   "I'm also from Jin Province! I'm from Yuanqu, Jin Province! My family has a kind of noodles fried with soil, called fried Qi, which is very delicious! It has a kind of earthy smell! And eating it is very good for the stomach!"

   "Is that earth-fried steamed bun? It's obviously a specialty of Jiyuan, Henan Province? Why did it become Jin Province?"

   "Don't talk nonsense! We have been frying there for thousands of years."

   "Jiyuan's local fried buns were passed down from the time of King Wen of Zhou, so don't grab them randomly!"

   "Zaoqi was passed down from Emperor Shun! Funny!"

  Li Yi also noticed the audience's dispute, and immediately smoothed things over with a smile: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, we are all descendants of Chinese people, isn't it normal to eat the same thing?"

  Wu Lei was a little surprised when he heard what he said and saw the barrage from the audience: "Brother Yi, is what they said true? Do they really use soil for cooking?"

"yes!"

Li Yi said with a smile: "The method of these two kinds of things is similar, it is to heat up the clean fine soil, wait until it looks like a frying pan is boiling, after turning it over, put the gnocchi and steamed buns into it, stir-fry until they are mature .”

   "Didn't that even eat the soil?"

  Wu Lei was shocked when he heard this.

   "It's the soil that they eat."

  Li Yi smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you just now? Loess can be used as a blind medicine.

  However, this kind of directly imported soil has higher quality requirements.

   It must be made of local kaolin white clay, which is Guanyin clay.

  Eating a little less at ordinary times is especially effective in treating spleen deficiency and diarrhea. In previous famines, the hungry people would use it as food to satisfy their hunger, but eating too much would be bad. "

   "Avalokitesvara Earth?"

  Wu Lei was surprised: "I thought Guanyin clay was incense ash from the temple."

   "Ash?"

  Li Yi looked surprised: "How can that thing be eaten?"

Jingle Bell!

  The phone rang, and Li Yi connected the call.

   "Master Li, I found the clean loess you want. I'll send you a location. You go directly to my friend. I've already told him that he will take you to dig."
