"According to ancient cooking methods, what you make is not really an eggplant dish; it's more of an eggplant-flavored condiment, considered a seasoning."
"So at the beginning, it's mixed with chopped chicken as the main ingredient to make it a tasty dish."
"However, after several attempts to improve it, the dish is now best served fresh, which enhances its flavor."
"Actually, the main reason for the change is that the dish wasn't ordered often, and eggplant alone doesn't store well, so we refined it into the current cooking method."
"As for replacing chicken with pigeon, it was to increase the price. Otherwise, with labor and ingredient costs alone, we wouldn't make much, if not lose money."
Yao Shi finished speaking, and everyone around him fell silent.
So the eggplant dish is actually made using a cooking method described in ancient texts.
They thought it was Qianlima's family secret dish!
But the most important thing is, was it really okay to bluntly say all those truths?
