Spring-like soft tofu

The tender tofu lies in the white porcelain bowl, like jade soaked in a spring stream, trembling and shaking with fine waves when touched by fingertips. The aroma of soybeans exposed to the summer sun is hidden in the texture. A sip is as refreshing as autumn dew, and swallowing it is as sweet as the melting water of winter snow floating in the throat. With a light pinch of chopsticks, it turns into half a pool of clouds, mixed with the green of chopped green onions, as if the four seasons are crushed and gently fed into the mouth
