Chapter 146 Memories from the 1980s

Once the message with detailed location and photos was sent in the group.

There was a burst of wows among the pig trotters.

"Wipe, wipe, wipe, my eyes are clear, right? Jin Lan Zun Shang?"

"Ahhhh! How come the boss, this old man, is setting up a stall in front of the club?"

"From what I've heard, this shop doesn't seem very white!"

"Oh? Can you elaborate? No wonder I couldn't find it. Why would a decent person like me go for a foot massage?"

"Tsk, the boss can really run..."

"Forget it, there are only six chickens left. I'm sure we can't buy any more. Brothers, you guys who live nearby should just go for it."

“…”

In just a few minutes, the number of group messages jumped to 99+.

However, Yongfu Road is a downtown area after all.

Most of the people in the group live in the northern suburbs of the city, which is not close to here at all.

Those who have the means to live nearby are mostly still working overtime in the company at this time and cannot make it back.

Besides, who can eat just six roast chickens?

It would be so frustrating if you go there with all your effort but can't even catch up with the boss's car.

I saw many people in the group give up.

Uncle Zheng's daughter-in-law was browsing her cell phone, her heart bubbling with joy.

"Dad, let's go! We've found the pig's trotter owner, just a few hundred meters from our house. There are only six roast chickens left now, and if we don't go now, they'll be gone..."

It can be said that Uncle Zheng is very lucky.

He originally lived in an old house near the park.

The son and daughter-in-law went to visit the old man for several weekends in a row and found that he was listless and getting thinner day by day.

As children, we always feel heartbroken when we see this.

Last weekend, they couldn't bear it anymore and took the old man to live with them.

So.

Every day the family of three could hear the old man talking about how delicious the pig's trotter was.

But every time at the end of the conversation, the old man would sigh and say with regret that he would never be able to eat it again.

In fact, it is rare to live to such an old age and have such a strong appetite for a certain food.

They will support it to some extent.

So, under the constant questioning of the daughter-in-law.

Only then did I realize that there are groups of diners, and the probability of finding the boss in the group is greater.

However, after absorbing the experience of the pig trotter exchange group, the pig trotter exchange group also started charging group fees.

The old man had always been frugal and was reluctant to spend the fifty yuan, so he was ruthlessly kicked out.

When the daughter-in-law learned about this, she almost choked to death on her own saliva.

It's just fifty yuan, two cups of milk tea, there's no need to worry about it.

Add! Add now!

So just two days after joining the group, I received such great news for the first time in my life.

"Dad, please run slower! I can't keep up with you."

The daughter-in-law was panting behind me.

Seeing the father-in-law in front of him walking briskly, without any sign of old age, he was completely shocked.

"dad……"

Unfortunately, no one responded and the old man ran away.

Wait until you flash to the door of the club.

"welcome……"

The two ladies welcoming guests at the door had not yet finished their welcome speech.

He swallowed the second half of the sentence back, startled.

This... this old man is here for a foot massage?

The sword is still sharp and powerful!

Who should be arranged to receive us later?

The next second, Uncle Zheng stopped in front of Su Chen's stall.

"Hey young man, it's really you! This... this is Texas Braised Chicken???"

Su Chen didn't expect that another old customer would arrive so soon.

I secretly said that the master had good taste and replied with a smile.

"Yes! Authentic roast chicken, still hot!"

"Hey! Quick! Give me one!"

The old man still knows the authentic aroma of Dezhou Braised Chicken.

Thinking back to the chicken I bought on the train back then, the taste will be unforgettable in my lifetime even after years of washing away the taste.

The five-spice flavor is rich, charming and very long-lasting.

It seems to be exactly the same as the one in front of me.

Soon, the roast chicken was obtained.

The old man didn't even wear gloves, he just tore off a chicken leg and held it in his hand.

After being soaked in the marinade, the meat feels wet and soft to the touch.

It tastes tender but not mushy. With just a sip, the shredded meat slides off the bones. The fresh, salty and sweet taste blooms on the taste buds. The thick marinade is mellow but not greasy, like a gentle rain, sliding into his long-dried stomach.

ha…

What a divine delicacy this Dezhou Braised Chicken is...

The old man still remembers this clearly.

In the 1980s, he bought a train ticket to BJ to visit his relatives.

The trains at that time were the very slow green trains.

After crossing the Yellow River, we slowly arrived at Dezhou Railway Station. It was exactly noon.

Before the train had completely stopped, vendors swarmed onto the platform.

Many passengers held 8-yuan bills in their hands, raised their hands high, and squeezed each other just to get a Texas Braised Chicken.

At that time, he was so hungry that his eyes were turning blue. It would be strange if he didn't go crazy when he smelled the roast chicken on the platform!

He struggled for a long time through the car window and finally bought a Texas Braised Chicken wrapped in oil paper.

After peeling off the oil paper, I found that the roasted chicken was not big, weighing about one and a half pounds.

The oil from the chicken had soaked through the oil paper, and the sunlight shining through the car window made the oil paper dazzling.

The head and feet of the roast chicken were relatively small. It seemed that there were no large-scale chicken farms at that time. It must have been a domestic free-range chicken. Its color was burnt yellow, and its skin was shiny and could reflect a person's reflection.

The roast chicken falls apart easily, and the meat and bones separate easily with a slight pull. It tastes salty and delicious.

After he finished eating the meat, he even ate the chicken butt.

He was still gnawing on the bones, chewing them with relish.

Finally, under the envious gazes of others, he wiped the oil from his mouth, burped contentedly, and fell asleep with a snore.

Nearly 40 years have passed, and no matter how good the cooking process is, the roast chicken today can no longer taste the same as it did back then.

I didn’t expect that today, I would taste the same flavor as when I was young here again.

No!

Even more delicious than I remembered!

Recalling the good memories on that slow green train.

The old man's eyes were almost filled with tears, he was so excited that he could hardly control himself, and then he began to eat the roast chicken in big mouthfuls.

After a while, the daughter-in-law arrived.

I saw my father-in-law’s face was covered with oil from eating.

There was very little chicken left, but he held the bone in his mouth and sucked it hard, not wanting to spit it out, and licked his fingers with tears in his eyes.

The daughter-in-law was completely stunned.

no……

Dad...you are crazy...

If others saw this, they would think that we, your children, are abusing you and withholding your food every day!

At this time, the old man also discovered who was coming.

But he didn't even open his eyelids.

He just stretched out a greasy finger, pointed at Su Chen's dining cart, and gave orders in an unquestionable tone.

"I haven't paid for this one yet, go and pay for it, there are four chickens in total!"

Daughter-in-law: ...
