"At that time, the roasted pork from various restaurant owners tasted bad, displeasing the nobles. Whenever Taifeng Building made a new flavor of roasted pork, Boss Lu would call me over to taste it. I always felt the flavors were almost indistinguishable, but it seemed Boss Lu could only be at ease if there was no difference."
Qin Huai insightfully commented, "It's because having no difference is the safest. Previously, the noble was satisfied with this flavor, and if the flavor changed, it might cause trouble with the nobles."
In turbulent times, even a chef is not safe.
"So, Sister Hong, do you know why the chefs at Taifeng Building can make roasted pork of different ingredients taste the same?" Qin Huai asked.
