After preparing two sets of ingredients, Xiaoguo carefully went through every step of the recipe with Xu Ruyi, who was listening attentively at the side. They started working on the soup base first.
After putting the lid on the pot, Xiaoguo lit the fire and instructed, "If you want the soup to taste good, there's only one word for it. Simmer!" Xu Ruyi nodded in all seriousness.
Xiaoguo continued, "Usually, the base soup used in restaurants is always kept simmering above a flame. That's why their soups are always so rich."
Xiaoguo taught her how to make starch next. "This step is very simple, but it requires patience." As she spoke, she patiently taught her each and every step. "It needs to be washed, peeled, crushed, rubbed, and precipitated."
Xu Ruyi followed her demonstration carefully, and went through every step seriously. In the end, the two of them came up with six basins of starch water.
