Gu Zi had just finished perfecting the broth for the soup, delicately integrating small pieces of flour, shredded seaweed, tofu skin, and wood ear mushrooms into the simmering pot. Covering it, she announced, “Spicy soup. It’s seasoned with salt and has a distinctive taste. It’s particularly rejuvenating for men after a day’s work.”
Li Hua, curious, sampled the concoction with a small spoon. The freshness of the stock was unmistakable, yet it diverged from the light soups she was accustomed to. The soup was a symphony of spicy and sour notes, enriched with fragrance, and its texture was both sticky and smooth on her palate. With just a sip, she felt a burst of revitalization.
“Where does this delicacy originate from?” Li Hua inquired, her curiosity piqued. “I’ve never eaten anything like this before.”
Gu Zi said, “I believe it’s from the northern region. It’s a breakfast favorite there. I picked up the recipe from others.”
As the soup neared completion, Gu Zi began to add sesame oil and vinegar for the final seasoning touch, then bent down to remove the firewood. The spicy soup was ready to be served.
Meanwhile, Li Hua busied herself by artfully slicing the chopped green onion meat pie into a fan shape, as Gu Zi packed both the spicy soup and meat pie into boxes.
Contemplating her earlier thoughts, Li Hua ventured, “Sister, could you teach me how to make this? I’m eager to learn.”
Gu Zi, without pausing her activities, looked up at Li Hua and reassured, “Of course, as long as you’re willing to learn. Sister-in-law, what are you planning?
Li Hua nodded slowly, sharing her vision, “With your and your brother-in-law’s help, our family could start a small business. I’ve discussed it with your brother. He works at a pig farm, and I don’t want to sit idle. I’m thinking of getting my parents to help sell some items.”
Although Su Shen was a big boss, the Lin family was determined not to rely solely on their affluent son-in-law. They aspired to use their own skills to earn a living and lead a fulfilling life.
Li Hua was aware that her sister-in-law was skilled in preparing many local specialties. Even if she learned just a fraction from her, she believed she could manage a food stall.
