"Take, for example, this West Lake Beef Soup. It's a traditional famous dish in Hangzhou Cuisine, originating from the spicy soup of the Central Plains during the Southern Song Dynasty migration. It's generally served first as a throat-soothing and appetite-whetting soup, and is deeply loved by the common folk.
This soup is fresh, sour, and unique in taste. Although it has undergone a long period of evolution and improvement, pepper is still an indispensable seasoning. Without it, it just doesn't have that flavor."
"The school has already specifically emphasized that no dish can contain pepper. I certainly can't prioritize taste over the athletes' safety, can I?"
Jiang Yu turned to look at Jia Dequan, a confident smile on his face, and said with a laugh,
"Besides, even if we don't use pepper, the taste might be a bit different, but as long as the dish remains fresh and delicious, isn't that what really matters?"
