After thinking about it carefully, Chen Zhiyong said, "I understand now. The soup base is made by cooking crayfish to extract their flavor, which makes the soup more delicious. So when making the soup base, we don't add crayfish directly, but use the shells and roe instead."

At first, the little girl was a bit confused, but when she looked at her father face to face, she seemed to recognize him and immediately ran into his arms with a smile.
