"For health and longevity, the ancients began to obsess over dietary therapy. Throughout history, our country's chefs have held a deep traditional sentiment towards animal hooves, viewing them as a powerful tonic for strengthening the body and a delicacy. By the Southern Song, the royal feasts naturally absorbed the influence of southern cuisine, increasing the proportion of fresh seafood from seas and rivers. The ninth dish of the Southern Song royal feast, fresh shrimp and hoof salad alongside stir-fried eel, is a classic example of the north-south combination."
Ji Yunya smiled as she placed it into Zhuang Xiyue's bowl, "This fresh shrimp hoof salad is made with local live river shrimp. The river shrimp and hoof are cooked, capturing the freshness, rolled, sliced, crispy and delicious, beneficial to health, and can also beautify and nourish the skin. Aunt Zhuang, have a taste."
The sound was as crisp as fireflies and jade streams, slow and leisurely, speaking eloquently.
