Chapter 428: Authentic Flavor

The first time he performed skull restoration, Jiang Yuan was very meticulous. He changed the water in the pot twice when boiling the skull, boiling the bones to the point where if you shook them a bit, the flesh would fall right off.

The remaining bones weren't handled with quite the same care; they were boiled vigorously in a large pot. Occasionally, the scum was skimmed off the surface, and any rotten flesh and excess grease were removed in the process.

"Boiling this always reminds me of making stew back home." Doctor Ye stirred the pot with a femur, his eyes filled with wistful nostalgia. "My grandmother's stew was unrivaled, and every year during New Year's, she would cook a lot of it with chicken, beef, and mutton, then pack it up and give it to various families to take home."

"That's a family skill passed down through generations," Wang Zhong, still young, chimed in to agree with Doctor Ye.
