Chapter 39: The Fragrance Is Real—Braised Pork Trotters Are Truly Delicious!


This incident can be traced back to two years ago.

That year, Jiang Han fell in love with a girl named Xiaoqin.

To pursue her,

he painstakingly prepared a gift for her.

That day, he even borrowed a BMW from a friend and drove it to her company.

Wearing a sleek suit, he leaned handsomely against the car, arms folded.

Waiting for her arrival.

"Xiaoqin..."

Seeing Xiaoqin approaching with a female colleague, he quickly adjusted his suit and flashed a charming smile.

Xiaoqin walked over with her colleague, giving him a polite smile: "Jiang Han, why are you here? Do you need something from me?"

"I have a gift for you."

"What kind of gift?"

As they spoke, he suddenly pressed a button on the car key for the trunk.

"Beep~"

With a "bang," the trunk lid popped open...

What came into view was a large red heart made up of ninety-nine braised pig trotters, shining brilliantly under the morning sun.

Causing Xiaoqin and her colleague to squint involuntarily.

But upon realizing what the fiery red items in the trunk were, a look of disbelief appeared in Xiaoqin's beautiful eyes.

While her colleague, aside from being surprised, felt more envy.

After all, there aren't many young men this thoughtful nowadays~

Still indulging in his masterpiece, Jiang Han smiled faintly, took the reddest "braised pig trotter flower" from the trunk, and handed it to Xiaoqin: "Xiaoqin, meeting you is my greatest fortune in life, falling in love with you is my greatest happiness, Xiaoqin, I love you, please be my girlfriend!"

"Wait, Jiang Han, are you sure you want to give me this thing?"

"Don't you like it? I prepared this specially for you!"

"Jiang Han, you clearly know I'm a Pig in the zodiac, why are you giving me braised pig trotters, what do you mean by this!"

"I just... thought that since you're a Pig and love food, I'd give you something special and meaningful, so I went to several stores to collect these..."

Before he could finish, he watched Xiaoqin walk away with a grim expression, leaving only one sentence: Jiang Han, don't contact me anymore...

Why is it always him who gets hurt...

What did he do wrong...

Didn't she understand his true feelings...

Jiang Han silently shed two wide noodle-like tears in his heart.

Her colleague, meanwhile, approaching with admiration, said, "Jiang Han, don't worry about feeling alone on your journey, she won't go with you, but I will, even if it means riding in the trunk, I won't regret it. How about considering me?"

"I really appreciate your willingness to come with me, but I can't deceive you; I don't have feelings for you, we're not suitable."

A heartbroken Jiang Han rejected her.

He drove the car back home in tears.

The dozens of pounds of braised pig trotters, he also stored in the freezer, to tackle alone.

An entire month!

It took him an entire month to finish those braised pig trotters.

And he paired them with three cases of beer.

On the day he came out of his retreat, he vowed, never again in his life would he eat braised pig trotters!

That's right!

He was utterly traumatized by braised pig trotters!

The kind that makes you vomit at the thought.

So, to this day, he hasn't touched anything related to pig trotters.

Now, with the strong request from his live stream audience, he's in a tough spot.

If he eats,

his stomach will suffer!

If he doesn't eat,

his fans will surely be displeased.

They might unfollow him over something trivial!

This cost, for a small blogger like him, is too high!

Considering their generous rewards, he'll have to compromise his stomach.

He donned disposable gloves, picked up the bright red braised pig trotter from the plate, and tentatively took a bite.

It was soft, fragrant, tender, and elastic, fatty but not greasy.

During chewing, the fragrance spread, gelatinous but not sticky, truly reaching the level of melting in the mouth!

With the rich collagen of the pig trotter and the combination with tendons, the mouthfeel fully revealed the complexity of tendons, bones, and meat.

With a bite of pig trotter in his mouth, it felt like all his internal organs relaxed, what else could he think of!

His mind was only on eating!

On camera, he gnawed the pig trotter bite by bite, his face full of happiness.

Utterly absorbed.

It wasn't until he had gnawed the whole pig trotter clean that he sighed with satisfaction.

And only then he realized, after eating an entire braised pig trotter, his stomach wasn't upset at all, he didn't even feel like throwing up...

I'm okay again!

I'm okay again!

I can eat braised pig trotters again!

Thanks to Boss Huang for saving me from my misery...

Jiang Han almost burst into tears of joy!

Watching his reaction, the audience in the live stream were curious about the taste of the braised pig trotters that nearly made the host cry!

The comments scrolled like crazy.

[Host, don't just stand there! Hurry up and say something!]

[Quick, tell us what these braised pig trotters taste like! I've been waiting all night, say something!]

[If the store hadn't sold out, I'd be heading over now to see what this place really tastes like!]

[Jiang, tell us how these braised pig trotters taste! Don't make me... beg you!]

[Hahaha~ Dying of laughter, my wife asked why the couch went 'bang,' did I kneel down to beg you! Jiang, hurry up and tell us!!!]

[Yes, don't dawdle, good or not, just give us a straightforward answer!]

The audience in the live stream was frantically curious, what on earth was the taste of these braised pig trotters!

Jiang Han, regaining his senses, looked excitedly at the phone camera.

"Truly delicious, the braised pig trotters are really tasty!"

"The marinade is rich and aromatic, the pig trotter skin firm outside and tender inside, pulls into strands with a bite, falls apart without sticking to the teeth."

"Especially the lean meat clinging to the bones, it's simply amazing!"

"Audience friends, if you don't come to this store to try it, it's your loss in this life!"

The audience, already enticed in the live stream, couldn't help but swallow their saliva, wanting to taste it themselves, wishing they could head to West City Old Street immediately.

But they knew, even if they go now.

It's in vain.

Because whether it's pan-fried buns, preserved egg and lean meat congee, or braised pig trotters, they're all sold out~

Gazing hungrily at the delicacies they could see but not eat, it's truly painful!

And this pain would continue until tomorrow.

This is simply torture!

Meanwhile, Jiang Han was seriously contemplating something.

He felt that the houses in West City Old Street weren't too expensive.

Perhaps, he could sell his three-bedroom apartment in the city center and buy a new three-bedroom in West City Old Street.

This way, he could enjoy Boss Huang's various dishes at the fastest speed every day.

With this, his quality of life would greatly improve!

With that in mind, he walked out of the store.
