One, chicken soup is free of water, and can be cooked directly after washing and bathing, and chicken soup only needs to be put onions and water, so as to ensure the taste of the original juice and no ginger. As they say, "Chicken is not ginger, fish is not sauce." It means, "No ginger in chicken stew; no sauce in fish." Chickens don't: 'Cause the chickens don't smell any more, and the ginger tastes are the easiest to get into the chicken's flesh, so you can't eat the ginger while you're eating, so you have to keep the chicken juice from the ginger.'
