If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

"Holy crap!"

Old Zhou shouted it out!

Anyone who's tried this braised pork knows how incredibly fragrant it is!

Its domineering nature is simply indescribable!

The rice is coated in a rich, flavorful sauce. Is it very salty?

There is indeed a little bit.

What braising sauce isn't salty?

But!

The braised pork rice in front of me has obviously been prepared to be even more perfect, with a hint of sweetness from rock sugar in its saltiness.

It effectively masked all the saltiness, making it not at all jarring!

In my mouth, it felt as if there was a very warm and moist tide, filling the entire mouth completely, turning it into an ocean of braising liquid.

Bite down with your teeth.

The braised pork wrapped around the rice melted right in your mouth.

However, it's very chewy!

The lean and fatty parts seemed to blend together, and the rich aroma of oil exploded instantly.

It not only ensures the taste, but also flows down the throat layer by layer.

Old Zhou's eyes widened. Was this really braised pork rice?

The texture...it's amazing!

The lean meat is very firm, and every fiber of it is coated with the braising sauce. Eating the meat is like drinking piping hot braising sauce, and eating the braising sauce is like chewing the meat. The two have been perfectly blended together.

Take a bite.

The juices were gushing out with a squelching sound. If you don't wipe your mouth with a tissue, you'll look terrible while eating!

"My God!"

Ah Zu had become a glutton, and he picked up the braised egg and ate it in no time.

No wonder he was rude!

Who could resist this smell?

He didn't like eating individual eggs; he always felt they had a strange taste and a slightly astringent feel when chewing them.

Only the egg white is slightly tastier.

But it's only a little bit.

The braised egg in this braised pork rice is absolutely amazing!

It is smooth and rich, yet not at all dry, with a subtle sweet and salty taste.

It was perfectly soaked in the piping hot braising sauce, and I ate it with braised tofu at the end.

It's so juicy, I can't even imagine!

My mouth is filled with the rich aroma of braised meat!

"It's delicious! It's so delicious!"

Ah Long's eating manners were equally unseemly; he picked up a large spoonful of greens and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The scalding heat of the braising sauce was completely replaced by the crisp and refreshing taste of the green vegetables!

It's not only very refreshing, but also appetizing!

I thought I would never be able to finish this big bowl of braised pork rice!

nonsense!

I'm not Liangzi, who can eat a hundred packs of instant noodles in one meal.

But!

You only know who this bowl is enough for once you actually eat it.

I didn't enjoy the meal at all!

We'll have to refill it after we finish eating!

Otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable!

Neither of his teammates were reserved, and Lao Zhou couldn't keep up the act any longer, so he simply started eating freely.

He would never have acted like this when he was on duty before!

Never before!

So happy!

Old Zhou scooped up another large spoonful of braised meat and stuffed it into his mouth. As he chewed, he suddenly felt an urge to cry!

This braised pork rice is so delicious!

He suddenly remembered the meals his grandmother used to cook when he was a child.

My family was extremely poor back then.

We only eat meat during holidays and festivals.

Grandma stewed a big pot of meat in plain water with few ingredients.

But it is precisely this simplicity that fills the whole yard with the aroma of meat, which smells wonderful.

It tastes absolutely amazing.

It's the pure, natural flavor of meat; without any embellishment, you can enjoy it with gusto.

That was simply the happiest and most joyful time of his life!

After his grandmother passed away, he had long forgotten that taste.

Since I started working.

He's so busy every day that he barely has time to eat a nice meal. Sometimes he goes to big hotels and restaurants for gatherings.

Even if you eat the most expensive food, it always feels like something's missing.

Well, how should I put it?

It's just that I'll never have that feeling from my childhood again, when even a pot of plain water with meat could make my mouth water!

And now.

Old Zhou never expected this.

I actually rediscovered this sense of happiness during a routine duty shift.

He picked up the enormous pig's trotter and took a big, hard bite.

That's right!

Same feeling!

Without relying on any seasonings, the broth is used to bring out the most essential collagen-rich texture of the pig's trotters.

With one bite, the tendons between the flesh and bone instantly snap, and the rich, savory juices burst forth in your mouth, soaking every taste bud.

good to eat!

too delicious!

"Captain... how can there be such delicious braised food in a place like this!"

Ah Zu was about to cry!

His cheeks were bulging from eating, and he was gnawing on a braised pig's trotter, his mouth dripping with oil.

This pig's trotter was better than any other delicacy he had ever eaten!

The skin and flesh could easily separate from the bone with a gentle touch, the tendons connecting them were so soft and tender that they were almost half-transparent, and the collagen was simply superb.

It's so thick it can be pulled into threads.

The satisfaction from just one bite is indescribable.

It was stuck to the corner of my mouth, and I didn't even bother to wipe it off!

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Ah Long mumbled something indistinctly as he ate.

"I've never eaten such delicious braised pork rice in my entire life!!"

"It smells so good!!"

The way they look now is absolutely outrageous!

It's unbearable to look at!

"Ugh! I was just thinking I could pack it up and take it home!"

Old Zhou looked at the braised pork rice, half of which he had already devoured, with a very complicated expression.

That's a big appetite, but it's definitely not enough!

I haven't even had a few bites yet.

Is it almost gone?

Do I usually have such a big appetite?

Old Zhou touched his stomach, his face filled with suspicion.

But no matter how you look at it.

He really enjoyed the meal!

good to eat!

If only we could have a meal like this every time we went on a call, that would be wonderful!!

"Captain...should we still investigate?"

While eating pig's trotters, Azu asked in a low voice.

"No? What's there to investigate?"

Ah Long took a big bite of braised pork and felt his scalp tingle from the aroma.

"The boss didn't do anything bad or disrupt the order; he just made the braised pork taste a little better."

"They just set up their stall in this godforsaken place, how can we possibly investigate them?"

"I can't find it!"

Azu nodded in agreement.

He's too embarrassed to even state his purpose now!

Otherwise, people will laugh at us to death!

"Have Xiao Liu contact the person who called the police later and explain things clearly."

Old Zhou nodded in agreement.

Clearly, they don't want to reveal their identity.

Otherwise, if others knew that he came here to do something important, but ended up happily eating a pig's trotter in one hand and the other in the other.

How will he ever face anyone again?!

The three of them chatted and ate, showing absolutely no signs of being police officers!

at this time.

The Zhang Qingyao family at the next table had already started their second round of eating!

My third aunt was holding a big pig's trotter, her mouth was drooling, and she was gnawing on it so hard her eyes were almost slits!

The fragrance was so strong I couldn't even open my eyes!

"Qingyao! You're absolutely right!"

"This boss is simply a god descended to earth!"

"These pig's trotters... are amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

My aunt ate while wiping away tears.

"Look at this meat! How did you stew it like that...? It's so tender and delicious!"

"It smells so good!"

Zhang Qingxue sat in the corner.

The two empty bowls in front of me were already stacked together.

Her face was filled with disbelief.

I ate two bowls so quickly, that's outrageous!

He just called his sister a pig!

What is she anyway?

Wild boar!

As Zhang Qingxue pondered this, she took a large bite of the freshly cooked braised pig's trotter.

The skin and flesh burst open right inside, revealing oily, scalding hot collagen that slid down the throat without any resistance.

The warmth brought a lump to her throat again.

But this time she finally held back and didn't shed any more tears.

I just chewed it a few times.

Great-grandfather.

We're eating properly now...

"Sis! Eat slowly! Be careful not to choke!"

Zhang Qingyao, who was a major contributor to the family's success, was clearly smiling happily.

As she spoke, she scooped a large spoonful of rice for herself.

Just eat and eat!

"Eat slowly, or there won't be any left!"

Zhang Qingxue sniffed and pointed to a spot not far away.

Zhang Qingyao looked over and was startled.

The chefs they had hired each had several bowls placed in front of them.

Not only did they eat everything clean, but they also ate it all up!

They were all still shoveling rice into their mouths, showing no sign of stopping!

It's like wild boars have invaded the city!

......

"My goodness!! The family is so kind!"

"Yeah, is this braised pork rice from a roadside stall?! Even a high-end restaurant wouldn't make it this delicious!"

"That's right! I've been a chef for thirty years, and I've never had this skill!"

"Nonsense! Don't even mention you, even my dad, who's been doing this for fifty years, doesn't have this skill!"

"Haha, this trip was worthwhile! By the way, where's your dad? Is he still refusing to eat?"

"Holy crap, he's already passed out from eating!"

"She even rolled her eyes!"

"......"

Zhang Qingyao: "..."

That's terrifying!

Why are they all eating like gluttons?

So, I'm actually one of the ones with good table manners?!

But my older sister is right!

If you don't eat now, there won't be any more!

Zhang Qingyao quickly joined the fray, holding a pig's trotter in one hand and a spoon in the other.

Eat like crazy!!!

.......

Just as Lao Zhou was gnawing on his second pig's trotter, his phone rang.

He was startled.

My hands were covered in oil, and it took me ages to finally get the call connected, which I then held to my ear.

"crooked?"

"Hey! Captain Zhou! What's the situation over there?"

The operator, Xiao Liu, spoke through the receiver.

"Has the backup arrived yet? Was it a false alarm or is something really wrong?"

"It's alright, sir, you've misunderstood. There's nothing wrong here at all. Call back and ask for details."

Old Zhou mumbled something while chewing.

"I already asked!"

Xiao Liu's tone was full of doubt:

"When I called back, he said he was eating... I forgot what he was eating, anyway it was a bit noisy and I couldn't hear him clearly. Could something have happened?"

Old Zhou: "......."

He tentatively asked, "Are you having braised pork rice?"

"Why?!"

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up immediately:

"Yes! It's braised pork rice!"

"Why did he suddenly go to eat braised pork rice? Wasn't he supposed to be at the morgue entrance? There's no braised pork rice there! Isn't that ridiculous!"

Old Zhou: "......."

Listening to Xiao Liu's serious analysis, he really didn't know what to say.

"It's alright, sir. He misunderstood. I've already investigated and found out."

"What? You've figured it all out?"

Xiao Liu was incredulous, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, it's good that everything's alright!"

"...Wait a minute? Why is it so noisy? It sounds like a market!"

Old Zhou took a big bite of the pig skin and slurped it down.

"Hmm... I'm telling you, there really is a braised pork stall outside the morgue... do you believe me?"

Xiao Liu: "..."

???

No? Really?!

He was stunned.

"I'm not kidding, it's a complicated situation, but I'll handle things here, so don't worry. But let me tell you! This braised pork stall is incredibly delicious!"

Old Zhou suggested, "Do you want to come over later? You know where it is."

???

Xiao Liu even doubted that he had misheard.

Could Old Zhou have been drugged?

It's working hours now!

Did he go and eat braised pork?

Where did you eat?

Is that correct?

Old Zhou hung up the phone, then shoveled another mouthful of rice into his mouth, leaving Xiao Liu still bewildered.

Just then.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

At the entrance of the alley.

A bread truck stopped, and eight or nine young men in uniforms filed out!
