Every small shop will add their own secret recipe, Ning Xiaoxian tasted the spicy flavor in this bowl of soup, which comes from a seasoning very familiar to the Huaxia people: pepper seeds. Besides removing the gamey taste and enhancing the aroma, the flavor of pepper is also indescribably wonderful. This shop did not grind the pepper seeds; instead, they dry-fried them in advance, fully releasing their fragrance. It seems that pepper, as a major flavor weapon, has also been developed in this world and is used to perfection.
Ning Xiaoxian also identified another taste in the soup, which is hawthorn. The sweet and sour flavor of hawthorn can perfectly neutralize the greasiness of sheep and cattle fat, making the soup taste fresher. Moreover, it plays a crucial role: when cooked with beef and mutton, it makes the meat tender much faster.
