Gu Man picked up a dish that looked like eggplant but it was not eggplant. She thought to herself: This salad alone is worth 8,000 yuan?
Bai Yun explained the dish, "This dried eggplant dish is very particular. The newly grown tender May eggplant is plucked, and the skin and seeds are removed. Only the flesh is kept, it is cut into thin threads and dehydrated, before it is placed on the steamer. Chicken broth is placed in the bottom of the steamer and used to steam it. The taste of the chicken broth is infused into the shreds of the eggplants and then it is dehydrated again. It will be steamed and dehydrated like this nine times before it is mixed with the marinated crystal chicken feet.
Gu Man thought to herself: Alright, it was indeed worth it for so much effort.
Gu Man had a habit of "not paying attention to the outside world" no matter what she did, even when she was eating.
