Chapter 281: Glistening Posturing

The major characteristic of Dongpo Pig Knuckle were its thick meat and the alluring flavor deep in the bones. During ancient times, it was even called the celestial meat.

As a literate person, Wu Hai knew something about that.

“Let me savor the taste of the celestial meat now.” Wu Hai picked a piece of pork lightly and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Then he discovered that although the pig knuckle appeared incomparably soft, it wasn’t actually easy to break. When he picked it with the chopsticks, the fat and lean meat still remain stuck together. He took it closer to himself and then found a layer of fat that wasn’t oily right under the skin.

“Suo”. With a light lick, that layer of fat directly melted in his mouth and tasted incomparably delicious. Moreover, it wasn’t greasy at all but was instead quite refreshing and pleasant, bringing with it the intrinsically typical fragrance of pork.

“Yum!” Wu Hai stroked his mustaches and then stuffed the entire piece into his mouth.

After a slight bite, he first touched the pork skin that wrapped the lean meat. It left people the feeling of a colloidal matter with a mellow texture. While munching, it tasted smooth with a barely noticeable chewiness. But when it got to the lean meat in the middle, it had a sense of elasticity. Meanwhile, it tasted neither too dry nor too greasy as if it hadn’t touched the oil at all. The lean meat just melted upon entering the mouth.

“Ba Ji Ba Ji”. Wu Hai couldn’t spare even some time to notice the plain cooked rice at the side.

As for the pork hock weighing 1 kilo, Wu Hai was never worried that he can’t finish it himself. He indicated that he could just eat up another 1 kilo. This pork hock was really too small.

Ling Hong was just one step away from holding it up with his hands and gulping it down.

“Gee? Is this edible too? Wonderful.” Just as Wu Hai got to the central part and thought it would be the bone, planning to skip it first and then lick it after eating the meat up, he nevertheless found it was actually an amber-like stuff, like a soft fruit jelly that was wrapped inside.

It would be even better if it was edible. Not having time to feel curious, he directly stuffed it into his mouth. Instantly, he felt a surge of refreshing taste. It was absolutely different from the single pork and meanwhile combined the merits of both. Incomparably delicious!

Ling Hong beside him had also gotten to this bone that turned to be not. “It’s surprisingly not the bone. What an amazing idea!” While eating, he didn’t forget to sigh with emotion.

“Look. There are no bones in the pork hock cooked by Yuan Zhou.” Other customers at the side who had been watching Ling Hong and Wu Hai eating immediately noticed that.

Although they were unable to afford it, it was no problem for them to look at it.

“Indeed. Its color is like the amber and it’s just so beautiful. Furthermore, it appears soft and smooth.” Girls were usually more attentive and careful.

“You’ll know the taste after having it in the mouth.” A confident but arrogant voice sounded suddenly.

It turned out to be said by the man who had originally caught much attention of others. Now that he got his turn, he said directly when he heard the discussion.

“What a joke! How could I afford it at such a high price?” Some customers answered dumbly in the heart.

The price was clearly marked on the price list as, Dongpo Pig Knuckle, 2080 RMB /serving.

It was even more expensive than the tea egg. Finally, the tea egg could remove the title of the most expensive dish now and retire after winning its well-deserved merits.

However, this arrogant man whose hair was standing upright was really a rich guy. He straightway ordered his dishes, “Dongpo Pig Knuckle, plain cooked rice, Translucent Beef Slices, Silk Twined Rabbit and Jinling Grass as well as a serving of Phoenix-Tail Prawns.”

“Sir, we have a rule in our restaurant that no food is allowed to waste. So?” Seeing the man order so many dishes, Zhou Jia reminded warmly.

“I know I would be blacklisted if I waste any food. But don’t worry, I can eat them up. I’m a man with many muscles,” the man said confidently.

“Alright. Payment first, please.” Zhou Jia calculated the price and reported to him. The man also chose to make the bank transfer. But his account name was a little strange. It was surprisingly an anonymous debit card.
