Chapter 17 Buying a pig's trotter, blowing out the old actors
Remove the lid from the pig's trotter.
The mellow meaty aroma, the fresh fragrance of Sichuan pepper, the spicy aroma of chili pepper, the numbing aroma of Sichuan peppercorns, and the sweet aroma of rock sugar.
Several fragrances mixed together, rising and spreading with the curling steam.
In the distance, the crisp sound of shared bicycle bells can be heard.
The closer you get, the stronger the scent becomes.
At the same time, the folding stools were full of people, eating pig's trotters with greasy mouthfuls.
Rich fat overflowed from the corners of their mouths, and the oil was shining in spots.
In front of the stall, there were old men and security guards queuing up.
See this and smell the fragrance.
How can anyone still walk?!
Groups of two or three gathered around silently and started queuing.
"Boss, I'm not that hungry. Just give me two original flavors as a token of my appreciation."
"I'll eat one now, two tonight, and one for midnight snack... plus tomorrow morning, I don't have much of an appetite, so I'll just eat one. Boss, give me two spicy pig's trotters and three peppercorn pig's trotters!"
“…”
Some people in the team have already started to think about it.
At this time, Zhou Shuzhen was under the shade of trees.
I have the last piece of DuangDuang’s original pig’s trotter in my mouth and I’m reluctant to swallow it.
When I heard the person in the queue next to me asking for several pig's trotters, I was stunned.
What's wrong with these people?
Eating so much at such a young age?
Unlike the elderly, they do not need to supplement collagen, maintain joints, and enhance bone toughness.
I saw more people walking towards Su Chen's pig's trotter stall.
Zhou Shuzhen was extremely anxious.
Different times, different circumstances.
If she wants to buy more now, she can only continue to queue.
I had to finish the pig's trotter in my mouth in a few bites.
Then, a sideways turn.
Holding the parasol tightly in my hand, I kept pushing away the people blocking my way.
"Make way, please make way!"
Zhou Shuzhen's actions were as fierce as a tiger.
Finally, I got ahead of the girls and stood in line.
She smiled smugly.
hey-hey.
The speed at which people line up to get eggs at the supermarket entrance over the years is no joke.
I watched the team move little by little, and saw them leave with satisfaction, carrying the pig's trotters.
Zhou Shuzhen was increasingly looking forward to her turn soon.
At this moment, the people in front of her were still muttering.
"Those few people bought so many at once. Won't they be left with nothing by the time we get our turn?"
"Hey, damn, why buy so much."
Seeing someone gives you a bad feeling.
Zhou Shuzhen also silently agreed in her heart.
That's what looting is like.
It doesn’t matter how much you grab yourself, but you get anxious when you see others grabbing.
She kept standing on tiptoe, trying to look forward.
It’s broken. It’s broken.
Will my daughter-in-law not be able to eat this time?
Zhou Shuzhen kept muttering to herself.
My heart is in turmoil and I just can't calm down.
at the same time.
While weighing, Su Chen looked up at the team and spoke loudly.
"No need to queue up behind. There are only five pig's trotters left."
I heard the voice of persuasion.
Except for those who just arrived, the others in the queue have no intention of giving up.
How could I bear to leave without even getting to eat the pig's trotters?!
What if the person in front of you only wants one? Then there’s still hope when it’s your turn.
For a while, the team didn't move much.
Everyone has a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
However.
Unexpectedly, the bald guy at the front of the line.
Without saying a word, he ordered five.
Bought them all???
When the bad news came, the customers behind were shocked.
Newborn! Newborn!
Some people's faces changed drastically and some screamed.
Everyone stared at the big man, feeling resentful.
what to do?
I really want to rush up and grab it!
A few people changed their strategy and swarmed towards the food outlet.
"Boss, are you sure there's nothing left?"
"Boss, can you fish in the pot again to see if there are any hooves that have escaped?"
"Right, right, right. Fish it out again. Fish it out from every slot."
Su Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
Otherwise, just let you come up and get it yourself.
He cleared his throat and said seriously.
"No more, really. I'm closing the stall today, please come back tomorrow!"
After saying that, Su Chen quickly turned off the stove.
at this time.
Zhou Shuzhen's gaze was still on the heavy pig's trotter in the big man's hand.
I watched him swagger onto the motorcycle and then it roared.
Zhou Shuzhen's remaining willpower collapsed in an instant.
Now, she felt like rushing to the stall and risking her dignity.
The urge to hug Su Chen's thighs tightly and beg him to sell him another pig's trotter.
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!
Zhou Shuzhen kept wailing in her heart.
There was a girl sitting on the bench on the left, gnawing on a pig's trotter as if no one was around.
He was smacking his lips, and there was an unopened box of pig's trotters next to him.
It was like showing off trophies, which made Zhou Shuzhen jealous.
Oh, this girl is so lucky, she still has a box left.
Then she looked at herself and wondered how an old woman like her could be so greedy.
How can I report back home now?
Zhou Shuzhen almost had the urge to slap herself in the face!
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
He approached the girl with a big smile on his face and tried to get close to her.
"Oh, little girl, look at you, you are beautiful and kind-hearted."
"Let me tell you, my daughter-in-law is pregnant and she's craving this pig's trotter. If I don't buy it back, she won't be able to eat anything."
"Could you please be so kind as to sell me this box of pig's trotters? Then someone will help you when you get pregnant."
But the girl was not moved at all.
Didn't even give me a glance.
Zhou Shuzhen did not give up and turned to another person.
"Young man, you are so young and handsome, you must be very loving."
"It's not easy for me to be a mother-in-law. I just want to buy a pig's trotter for my daughter-in-law."
"If you give me yours, I'll introduce you to someone, okay?"
The young man smiled with a red face, but still did not agree.
After all these operations, Zhou Shuzhen was completely depressed.
What kind of people are these? How come they don’t have any sympathy at all!
It seems that I have to use my trump card.
The next moment.
Zhou Shuzhen suddenly leaned against another table.
Next, take a tissue from the tissue box.
The performance began with a "Wow".
"Oh, why is my life so miserable?"
Zhou Shuzhen howled a few times first.
But he is a veteran actor after all, and tears come easily.
She cried and wiped her tears with a tissue.
After successfully attracting the attention of people around him, he began to speak with passion and emotion.
"My poor old wife has a terrible stomach problem."
"The doctor said the situation is not optimistic and that surgery must be performed as soon as possible. I may never have the chance to eat good food again in my life."
"But my husband keeps asking for a bite of this pig's trotter. How can I be so worthy of him if I can't buy it back?"
Zhou Shuzhen cried heartbrokenly.
He stamped his feet and beat his chest.
