"The most important thing about the dish is the soup. Only by making the soup base can the noodles be delicious," Liao Ning emphasized, highlighting the significance of the broth.
Upon her arrival at the farm, Liao Ning noticed the presence of chickens, unlike her previous visits. However, she learned that the Interstellar Alliance had recognized the similarities between the meat of the "cooing bird" and chicken. As the cooing bird was larger in size, about two to three times that of a chicken, the raising of chickens had gradually been reduced. People also began to favor the more manageable meat of the cooing bird.
As a result, Liao Ning requested an old hen from Zhang Ting to create the soup base, utilizing the thigh bone and ham.
"This is a processed old hen. Once the water in the pot comes to a boil, we'll add it whole, along with the femur of the beast and sliced ham, to simmer the soup base," she explained.
