Dried scallops and tofu
Among the "Shandong Cuisine", there is an affordable, delicious and inexpensive dish called "Guotuantofu". Don't underestimate just a piece of tofu. There are many ways to make it, such as "crab pot collapsed tofu","crab yellow pot collapsed tofu","three delicacies pot collapsed tofu", etc., which can make dozens of kinds of pot collapsed tofu.
It is said to be delicious and inexpensive, but in fact, those Shandong cuisine masters have long divided it into three or six grades. Once you put crab roe in it, it will become more expensive. Rich people can eat this, but the cheapest one is ordinary pot ta tofu. There is nothing in it except tofu and eggs. Of course, it is much cheaper. This takes care of those who have no money. Chefs don't offend customers from all walks of life. They can get whatever they want, haha!
