Ye Qiu's knife skills dazzled Ye Xue and Li Qianqian. The two women believed that if Ye Qiu didn't practice frequently, there was no way he could have achieved this level of expertise.
Ye Xue knew her brother too well. Although Ye Qiu often helped at the congee and noodle shop before his car accident, there was rarely a need to cut so many different types of meat and vegetables there. So, the idea that Ye Qiu mastered his knife skills at the shop seemed unlikely to both of them.
After Ye Qiu had prepared all the meats and vegetables, he began to make his first palace dish.
It consisted of 2 pounds of premium pork belly, one bunch of scallions, five slices of old ginger, two tablespoons of Shaoxing yellow wine, two tablespoons of salt, two tablespoons of rock sugar, one tablespoon of red yeast rice, and so on.
