Chapter 15: If you want to be healthy and live a long life, naturally...

Zhou Shuzhen appeared at the park entrance on time at seven o'clock this morning.

It's not for practicing Tai Chi sword.

He was definitely waiting for Su Chen.

Yesterday afternoon, my daughter-in-law ate a portion of pig's trotters.

I got up in the middle of the night and ate another portion as a midnight snack.

But who could have thought.

At six o'clock the next morning, the daughter-in-law was lying on the sofa.

He touched his stomach, licked his lips, and cried out that he was hungry.

As a mother-in-law, what else can she do?

Of course I buy it!

Zhou Shuzhen rushed to the park in a hurry.

I waited and waited at the place where Su Chen set up his stall yesterday.

But there was no trace of pig's trotters.

An hour passed.

She stood up anxiously again and ran to other entrances for a look.

But still nothing was found.

Finally, she returned to her original place helplessly.

Ask a stall owner who sells corn and tea eggs.

"Do you know when the pig's trotter seller will come?"

The stall owner thought that business was coming and was all smiles.

But when he heard that he was asking for information, his face immediately fell.

"have no idea!"

But Zhou Shuzhen refused to give up.

Not only did he not leave, he even sat down on the stool in his stall and continued waiting.

The tea egg stall owner was very unhappy and complained with a frown.

Zhou Shuzhen didn't bother to argue and just bought a tea egg.

It's just that when I paid, I paid fifty cents less.

However, he is such a stingy person.

The stingy old lady would pick up every fallen hair and put it back into her pocket.

When it came time to buy pig's trotters, he changed his mind instantly and ordered two big ones without hesitation.

They are sold by the kilogram, the bigger the better!

but.

At this time, Zhou Shuzhen naturally did not notice the surprised look of the tea egg stall owner.

She waited from seven o'clock to twelve o'clock, but Su Chen never showed up.

Fortunately, I was careful and asked the old security guard to keep an eye on me.

She has already figured it out.

When he got home, he took out some tea from his wife's tea box and gave it to the old security guard as a reward.

It must be said that when Zhou Shuzhen smelled the aroma of the braised food, she felt her face relax.

Like chrysanthemums blooming in autumn, every fold speaks of the joy in one's heart.

Seeing an old customer coming to the stall, Su Chen immediately began to introduce.

"Today, in addition to the original flavor, we have three more flavors: spicy, sweet and spicy, and peppercorn. Which two would you like?"

Zhou Shuzhen was stunned, then looked at the small whiteboard.

"Ah, there are new flavors! Let's go with the original and peppercorn."

She and her daughter-in-law both love the flavor of Sichuan peppercorns.

The braised food was so delicious yesterday, so the Sichuan peppercorns will taste great too.

Zhou Shuzhen paid the money and asked Su Chen when he would come tomorrow, and got the answer "it depends".

I had no choice but to carry the bag and walk back.

After all, they are selling such delicious pig's trotters, so it's normal to be a little willful.

But as soon as he turned around.

Zhou Shuzhen couldn't help but stop and sniff.

The flavor of this Sichuan peppercorn is really good, and quite a few people at the table are eating it.

Different from the braised aroma of yesterday.

It carries a stimulating and refreshing fragrance, jumping happily in the air.

It makes people feel as if they are in a lush green pepper forest.

Gulp~

I'm greedy.

Zhou Shuzhen swallowed and subconsciously opened the lid of the lunch box in her hand.

She swore she was just sniffing.

See if there is any difference between what you buy and what others eat.

Just a few seconds.

The gloves were put on her hands by themselves, and the peppercorn pig's trotters were stuffed into her mouth.

But she really wasn't the first to make a move...

hiss…

As soon as the pig's trotters enter your mouth.

Instantly, the strong numb taste exploded on the tip of the tongue.

Zhou Shuzhen felt as if countless tiny electric currents were running wildly in her mouth, causing her lips to tremble slightly.

The numbing and refreshing taste of Sichuan peppercorns and the soft and sticky texture of pig's trotters are mixed and intertwined together.

The whole mouth is immersed in numbness.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

Unconsciously.

The numbing sensation made me dizzy and I finished eating the whole pig's trotter in a daze.

"Ah! I've actually finished eating."

In the lunch box, a few bones lay alone.

Zhou Shuzhen was momentarily dazed by what she saw.

but…

In that case, the remaining one won’t be a big deal.

The original pork trotters are still as delicious as yesterday.

The meat is tender and even more chewy than yesterday's.

The tendons are also very crispy.

Every bite is a great enjoyment for the taste buds.

At this moment, next to Su Chen's stall.

Two men, one old and one young, wearing security uniforms were sitting at the table.

He devoured the pig's trotters like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food.

The old security guard held a pig's trotter tightly in both hands.

He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite.

A piece of the shiny pig's trotter meat was torn off in an instant.

His cheeks were so puffy that it looked like two small buns were stuffed in them.

He chewed hard and hummed with satisfaction.

The young security guard next to him also had a greedy look on his face.

He held a pig's trotter in each hand and chewed on it in big mouthfuls.

It's like I haven't eaten in hundreds of years.

Suddenly, the old security guard choked.

The dark face turned a little red and tears welled up in the eyes.

He quickly grabbed the ice water beside him and took a big gulp.

"Gulp gulp", the ice water flows down the throat.

The old security guard then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hiss~"

It’s not that he wants to eat so quickly.

The main reason is that my stomach has never been served anything so delicious!

He was forced to swallow the delicious food quickly.

“It’s so delicious, so delicious!”

The old security guard sighed and couldn't wait to take a bite.

The young security guard also nodded repeatedly, his words mumbling unclearly.

At that time, two elderly people heard the news and rushed to watch the excitement.

At this time, he was standing behind the two security guards, slowly waving a fan.

When they came here, they had already made up their minds to buy a pig's trotter to try.

However, I was put off by the high price.

The older generation is used to being frugal.

The stall owner is selling it at such a high price that my old bones probably can’t afford it.

But, I saw the two security guards eating so happily.

Plus the rich aroma kept penetrating into their aging noses.

Gradually, the expressions of the two old men also changed.

One of the old men took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of his mouth.

The other licked his lips, his throat moving unconsciously.

The two old men looked at each other.

"Old Li, would you like one?"

"Lao Wang, this stuff is very oily and will raise your blood pressure! Are you sure..."

Having said that, his eyes never left the pig's trotter.

"What are you afraid of? Don't you have blood pressure medication? Why keep your medical insurance card if you don't use it? Listen to me, if you want to be healthy and live a long life, don't smoke, drink, eat fatty meat, and..."

“De de de…”

In just a few words, the two old men made up their minds.

They silently put away their fans and came to the stall.

Staring at the pig's trotters bubbling in the pot, he shouted at Su Chen.

"Bring me a sweet and spicy one, young man."

"I'll have the original flavor."
