"Mhm, we've memorized it all." Gu Daya and her daughter had been helping Gu Jinli with the braising spices for the past few days and had already memorized all the spices she matched.
Gu Jinli nodded: "Then let us start simmering the braising sauce."
Simmering braising sauce is difficult—it takes at least two hours to simmer and develop the flavor.
Six types of braising sauces need to be simmered. Since there aren't enough stoves at home, they can only set up three small stoves with stones under the kitchen corridor and simmer the braising sauce together.
Gu Jinli threw the six packets of prepared braising spices, one by one, into the pot: "Auntie, this one is for the vegetarian sauce, this is for braising chicken, duck, pork, this is for pig's trotters, this for mutton, this for beef, and this one is for braising river delicacies. You must remember which braising sauce is in which pot, don't mix them up."
"Ah." Gu Daya and her daughter replied.
