Meng Yuan Lao used "Yin Calling Bailuan" to describe the lively and prosperity in the Tokyo morning market. New fruits, flowers and plants, fried chestnuts, and all kinds of vegetarian breakfast have emerged on the streets.

The early market is the first preface of the Song people, and the soup occupies an important position in the breakfast of the Song people, and the habit of drinking soup has continued to this day.

In the eyes of the old guests, it is not enough to go to the temple gate, and the good soup hall of Kaifeng is scattered in the corner of the small town. Most of them have been tested. For the Kaifeng people, the rich and exciting are all over the clouds, and a bowl of good soup is the bustling morning market in their hearts.

01 mutton soup

Lamb soup is the best proof of Kaifeng people. The special feature of Kaifeng mutton soup is the original clear mellow of the soup base. There is no too much spice to modify it, only the lamb, sheep, sheep oil is stewed in the water, but there is no taste.

Those who like to moisturize the taste can also let the store add a little sheep oil. (The shop will put MSG when the soup is soup. Remember to say it in advance if you don’t like it)

02 Four flavors

Siwei vegetables are famous snacks in Kaifeng. They are also base soup, but they are much more rich in content. Siwei refers to stewed beef, lily, gluten and balls. However, because of the high price of predators, many stores now change to crispy meat or others.

The soup bottom is not as fishy as expected, but it will be a bit fragrant. The large intestine is the fat intestine, the bread is covered with fat, the small intestine is thin intestine, and the taste is crispy.

The double intestine of the Zheng family of Ximen can also add some very strange parts. Such as sheep placenta, sheep's waist, and even sheep breast. The skin of the sheep placenta is similar to the taste of the sheep, but the powder of the meat ball is incompetent.
