Chapter 181 Wild Fruit
Zhang Xiao is also very satisfied with the white snow chicken that he made. Although he seems to have made this dish hundreds of times in the memory of his brain, but in reality, he can really make it. first. .

"Not bad, this is the first time I have made it like this. I am very satisfied with my cooking skills. Xiaoman, you put the dishes on the table with gloves on. Be careful not to burn them. I will make the next dish. Fast."

Hearing this, Chen Xi quickly put on the gloves with a smile, and carefully brought the bowl of white snow chicken to the table.

"Okay, let's make lychee shrimp balls for the next dish. You can tell by the name of this dish. The ingredients need lychee and shrimp."

Zhang Xiao took six lychees, peeled and removed the seeds, and put them aside. The shrimps had already been thawed by Chen Xi and put them on the side plate.

This dish can actually be said to be very simple, and it is a local dish. However, some people still have doubts about this dish, but Zhang Xiao is very assured of his cooking skills, and he is not at all satisfied with his cooking skills. care.

"For shrimp, let's chop it into shrimp paste, then put salt, a little monosodium glutamate, and then marinate it together with sesame oil. I have just removed the shell and core of the lychee, but pay attention to preserving the integrity of the lychee. Don’t get the pulp in pieces here and there!”

Zhang Xiao is really not joking, this dish is really very simple, he turned his head and said to Chen Xi as if his subordinates were busy working.

"Xiaoxi, help me wash the pot, change the water, and put the steamer on."

Today, these two dishes can be said to be almost all steamed. Not only the taste is light, but the most important thing is that it is not too heavy.

Chen Xi was busy washing the pot, boiling water and putting the steamer in the steamer. Zhang Xiaocai took a small spoon and stuffed the shrimp paste into the pitted lychee pulp bit by bit, and placed them neatly one by one into a Inside the soup bowl.

Water vapor slowly appeared in the steamer here, and Zhang Xiao lifted the lid of the pot after seeing that the situation was almost the same, and put the processed lychees into the pot.

Lychees and shrimp meat are the kind of ingredients that cook relatively quickly, so it hardly takes a few minutes. Zhang Xiao has to thicken the soup before it is cooked.

Zhang Xiao directly took out another induction cooker, then heated up the oil, added starch, a little salt, and a little monosodium glutamate, and after he finished thickening the corn, the lychees and shrimps in the steamer had already been cooked by Chen Xi according to the time. out.

"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell everyone all the time. I always heard people say that MSG is added when scrambled eggs. Although there are not many such people, I still want to remind everyone.

Egg itself contains a lot of glutamic acid which is the same as monosodium glutamate, so adding monosodium glutamate to scrambled eggs will not only fail to increase the umami taste, but will destroy and cover up the natural umami taste of eggs.

And everyone should put as little MSG as possible when cooking in the future, especially those who have a strong taste, you must pay attention, and don’t always think about adding more MSG because of the momentary desire to take it orally. It is not advisable to add more salt or add more salt. "

Zhang Xiao paused, and then added: "Actually, when cooking and cooking soup, adding some monosodium glutamate properly can enhance the umami taste. However, some people put monosodium glutamate in no matter what kind of soup they cook or stir-fry, so it is unnecessary Some of the following dishes are not suitable for adding MSG: the dishes cooked with broth. The broth already has a umami taste, and the umami taste of MSG is different from the umami taste of the broth. If MSG is added to the dishes cooked with broth, On the contrary, it will cover up the umami taste of the broth and make the dishes nondescript. It is better to eat without MSG. Sour dishes, sweet and sour, vinegar and hot and sour dishes should not be cooked with MSG. Because MSG is in the It is not suitable to dissolve in acidic solution, and the stronger the acidity, the lower the solubility, sour dishes with monosodium glutamate will not get the desired effect. Vegetables stewed with chicken or seafood have a strong umami taste, adding monosodium glutamate is Waste, and it doesn't do much."

"Moreover, according to the recent research by scientists from Neon Country, eating too much monosodium glutamate can affect vision and may lead to blindness in severe cases."

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he quickly poured thickened soup on the snow-white meat, and another dish appeared from Zhang Xiao's hands.

At the same time, the two little guys who had gone crazy outside for a while came back bouncing back, maybe they should have smelled the fragrance, and rushed to Zhang Xiao's side.

Zhang Xiao looked down and found that Xiao Diao had actually picked some wild fruits. His eyes lit up at first, but then his face became frowning.

"Okay, Xiaoxi, take this wild fruit and wash it first, and we'll make it dessert after dinner."

Then Zhang Xiao angrily ignored Xiao Diao, turned his head and started to cook the next dish.

And Chen Xi also obviously noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Xiao, but she didn't ask, anyway, she reckoned that Zhang Xiao should tell her after finishing the dishes, and it should be because of the wild fruits brought back by Xiao Diao.

The two little guys are a little unclear, so I don't know why Zhang Xiao is suddenly angry, and the little mink stretches out his little claws to scratch his head very depressed, looking very confused, I don't know why he took some wild The boss was a little unhappy when he came back.

In fact, Zhang Xiao was not happy at all, he was just depressed, the kind of depression that he couldn't eat after seeing delicious food.

Immediately, he stretched his waist and said to the people in the live broadcast room.

"Okay, these two dishes are done, let's talk about something off topic, but it also has something to do with what we ate tonight."

After taking off the apron, Zhang Xiao sat down on the sofa after washing his hands. While talking to the people in the live broadcast room, he also glanced at Chen Xi.

"Everyone must be wondering why Xiao Diao came back with this wild fruit. I feel a little depressed. When it comes to this matter, I don't blame Xiao Diao, but the wild fruit. Do you know what it is? This stuff It's called Nanzhu, and it's not suitable for me to eat at all, but it's delicious, so I'm struggling."

Some people don't understand the term Zhang Xiao said, and what's even more unclear is why it's not suitable for Zhang Xiao to eat.

"???? I'm a black question mark face."

"Why? I've never heard of Nanzhu."

"Is there such a wild fruit? Why does it look a bit like a blueberry?"

"Don't tell me, it really looks like a blueberry."

Zhang Xiao looked at the plate of Nanzhu that Chen Xi had washed clean, with a tangled expression on his face, he wanted to eat it but dared not eat it.

"Nan Zhu, a few friends just said that it is very good. This thing is actually wild blueberry. The flowering period is about June to July, and the fruiting period is August to September. We just caught up with the fruit of this wild blueberry. period."

Hearing Zhang Xiao said that these are wild blueberries, Chen Xi, who was a little worried when he saw Zhang Xiao's expression before, was relieved, and gave him a helpless look.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier, I thought I couldn't eat it, and I was so scared that I was always careful when I washed it."

As he spoke, he took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and was immediately overwhelmed by the sweet and sour taste.

However, Zhang Xiao looked so happy eating with Xiao Xi, although the saliva was already secreted quickly, he really didn't dare to stretch out his hand.

"In fact, blueberries are still very beneficial to the human body. It contains a lot of anthocyanins, which can be said to be very beneficial to human eyes, especially for relieving eye fatigue and strengthening vision.

Among them, the protection of eyes and enhancement of vision are because the anthocyanins in blueberries can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and improve vision.At the same time, it has the ability to accelerate the regeneration of rhododendron, which is indispensable for good vision. "

"Then, it's about strengthening immunity. Blueberry berries can enhance the body's resistance to infectious diseases. Blueberry berries are also a high-fiber food and can be used as a good source of fiber in the daily diet. Blueberries contain quite a lot of potassium, which can help Maintain fluid balance in the body, normal blood pressure and heart function, but the calories are only 80 calories. Blueberries are effective in resisting free radicals, especially active oxygen and various diseases such as cancer, congenital immune system diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. close relationship."

"It is especially suitable for children and office workers. Those who often use electronic products can buy some to eat. This thing is very useful to you. It has a very good effect on relieving fatigue and is much better than your eye drops. .

It's a pity that blueberry is a kind of berry with high nutritional content, which has the effect of laxative, but for me who has a little diarrhea this morning, it is not so friendly, and it can even be said to be a disaster. Eating this stuff will aggravate the condition. I don't want to have diarrhea anymore. "

After speaking, Zhang Xiao glanced at the plate of wild blueberries reluctantly. This kind of wild blueberry is not something that can be eaten, but in the end he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"What? Brother Xiao, did you have diarrhea this morning?" Hearing this, Chen Xi was a little surprised.

"Yeah!" Zhang Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head, "Maybe because I ate too many snacks like spicy sticks and popsicles before going to bed last night."

"Fortunately, I didn't miss Boss Lin's big meal today!!"

Then he got the food for the two little guys, and then he returned to the dining table, pointing to the plate of lychee shrimp balls and said.

"Actually, there have always been two opposing views about lychees and shrimps. One is that they can be eaten, and the other is that they cannot be eaten together."

As a result, Zhang Xiao said that those who saw the lychee shrimp balls as simple as they thought they were going to try it themselves, but now they are a little afraid to do it.

"Is it edible or not?"

"As far as I know, shrimp should not be eaten with fruits rich in vitamin C, right?"

"It seems to be the same as I heard from people. Shrimp is rich in protein, and if eaten with vitamin C, it will be poisonous or something."

"But brother Xiao has already made this dish, so it should be edible, otherwise why did he make it?"

On the other hand, Zhang Xiao directly took action to express that this dish was edible, and directly picked up a piece of lychee pulp with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well, the delicious and sweet lychees combined with the unique umami flavor of shrimps, the taste is really good, Chen Xi, try it."

Seeing that Zhang Xiao had already eaten, Chen Xi hesitated when he saw this guy's expression of enjoyment. He selectively ignored what Zhang Xiao said just now, and quickly put one in his mouth. There was an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Well, it's really delicious, but brother Xiao, what are the two theories you just said?"

Zhang Xiao stuffed one into his mouth again, and then said while chewing.

"There is a saying that shrimp meat contains a high concentration of pentavalent arsenic compound, which itself is harmless to the human body, but if a large amount of vitamin C is taken at the same time, the pentavalent arsenic will be reduced to trivalent arsenic, that is, arsenic trioxide, which will cause human body Acute arsenic poisoning can even be life-threatening in severe cases.”

Hearing what he said, it really frightened some people. After all, there are a lot of sayings about food incompatibility in today's society, saying that some foods are easy to be poisoned when put together. eat.

"I am still more inclined to the second statement, of course, from the perspective of a foodie, that is, the two can be eaten together. Shrimp is rich in nutrition, soft and easy to digest, and it is good for the weak and after illness. It's excellent food for someone who needs recuperation.

Litchi is delicious and sweet, with a soft and tough taste, rich in sugar, protein, multivitamins, fat, citric acid, pectin, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients.

Moreover, lychee is warm in nature, and it is easy to get angry if you eat too much, while shrimp is generally cold in nature, which can just neutralize the heat of lychee. "

"Lychee tastes sweet, sour, and warm, and penetrates into the hearts of the people, the spleen, and the liver meridian; it can stop hiccups and diarrhea, and is the top food therapy for intractable hiccups and early diarrhea. Spleen has the function of promoting appetite. Therefore, especially those of us with poor spleen and stomach, we often take lobster and lychee together in daily life, which is very helpful for promoting our body's gastrointestinal health. But all of us can’t take too much, or it will cause symptoms of getting angry.”

"Adults generally don't need to eat more than 300 grams of litchi per day, and children don't need to eat more than 5 pieces at a time.

The protein content of lobster is very high, and the meat is soft and easy to digest. It is a good food for people who are weak and need to be recuperated after illness; shrimp also contains magnesium, zinc, iodine, selenium, etc. Magnesium is good for the heart. Exercise has an important buffering effect and can protect the endocrine system. It can lower blood cholesterol levels, prevent arteriosclerosis, and at the same time expand coronary arteries, which is beneficial to prevent high blood pressure and myocardial infarction.Lobster contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant. "

"Scientists at Osaka University in the Neon Kingdom found that astaxanthin helps to eliminate the "jet lag" caused by the time difference reaction. It can be seen that the nutrition and health care functions of lobster and lychee are very good, If we have the conditions to eat lobster and lychee together, it can not only play a good health care role, but also prevent and treat some symptoms, especially for helping us relieve cough and phlegm symptoms. very good."

The two points of view he said sounded like they were well-founded, but just because they were both well-founded, but the two points of view were in opposition to each other, it made many people entangled all of a sudden.

Is this edible or not?
If you say you can't eat it, Zhang Xiao has already made this dish, and even ate it in your stomach, but the reason he said before that you can't eat it makes many people still have lingering fears.

However, at this time Zhang Xiao suddenly said something, which made many people even more confused.

"But the first statement also has to be vigilant, that is, the pentavalent arsenic in shrimp meat can really be reduced by vitamin C to trivalent arsenic, that is, arsenic trioxide, so haven't you seen it? I just made six Lychee shrimp balls, and there are not many shrimps, almost all of them can be tasted."

The people in the live broadcast room were about to be driven crazy by Zhang Xiao. They said they could eat it, and they said they couldn't eat it. They also came up with so many professional terms, but they didn't make it clear whether they could eat it.
