"I plan to make a dish called Osmanthus Abalone with salted egg yolk."
"That's an old dish. Twenty years ago, I went to Zhongyuan Province city with my master to participate in a culinary competition. I saw an old master make it, and the egg yolk was cooked to look just like osmanthus. At that time, someone had their dish overlap with others, so they switched to salted egg yolk, making it into Golden Sand Abalone, and it turned out surprisingly well."
In the past, local governments often held culinary competitions to increase attractiveness.
During the competitions, the participating chefs were very hardworking, willing to use every trick in the book to win the championship.
Xie Baomin learned a lot of what he saw and heard back then by following Master Gao Daya around as a judge.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Since you've mentioned it, I'll just add a dish of Golden Sand Abalone. With two egg yolk dishes, eating them might skyrocket my cholesterol."
