Part 2
Hao Yan and his friend ate the limited barbecue yesterday and didn’t fool anyone. They came early before dawn today and were currently at the forefront.
Hao Yan was ambitious and vowed to grab the first batch. After going back yesterday, he tossed and turned thinking about barbecue skewers and couldn’t sleep at all.
His friend was the same. The two met and rushed over hurriedly.
Upon arriving, good heavens, fortunately, they ran fast.
Hao Yan looked at the time; it was almost opening time. But sweeping his eyes, he saw Young Master Bai.
Young Master Bai was Mr. Bai’s nephew, and he controlled the barbecue yesterday.
But strangely, today Young Master Bai was actually standing in front of the two newly opened braised pork shops.
They glanced at the bright red meat chunks on the sign. For some reason, at first glance, they felt it wasn’t as good as barbecue, but looking at Young Master Bai now, and his impatient frequent checking of his wristband…
Hao Yan and his friend exchanged glances. Years of friendship allowed them to quickly split up tacitly. The friend continued to line up for barbecue, while Hao Yan whoosh jumped to the first spot under the shop where Young Master Bai was standing.
Young Master Bai was indeed anxious. He dreamed all night of chasing a piece of braised pork. He chased, it flew, making him chirp anxiously in his dream all night.
But his uncle said he could only go in when it opened.
Probably afraid he would steal food.
Wuwu, was he that kind of person? No, he was.
He craved this bite, really craved it.
Suddenly his vision darkened. He looked up; it was an acquaintance.
Young Master Bai met Hao Yan’s grinning face and gave him a look saying “You’re quite smart”. Hao Yan understood; he chose right.
While the two were rubbing their hands, Ning Yunyi arrived.
Young Master Bai’s eyes lit up immediately. “Uncle, can we open the door?”
Ning Yunyi nodded. The six shops opened simultaneously with a swish. Immediately, long lines formed in front of the other four shops, while outside the braised pork shops, it was deserted.
Young Master Bai rushed in with a swish. Sure enough, he saw it was renovated like the barbecue shop, with a glass door dividing the inside of the shop into two.
He rushed to the back. Unlike the barbecue, there was no grill, only two large buckets sealed with special materials. Inside was the braised pork he had been thinking about all night.
On the counter were neatly stacked exquisite small boxes, palm-sized, with a small fork on the side.
Next to it was a clean, brand-new cutting board and a knife that cut iron like mud, as well as a hook, a soup ladle, and a colander.
Everything was ready. Young Master Bai swallowed his saliva. “Uncle, the newly trained employees may not adapt. How about opening one first? I can go to that one after selling this one.”
How could Ning Yunyi not know his little thoughts? “No need, I’ve already found someone and instructed them. As long as they know how to use a knife.”
Young Master Bai could only droop his head. “Alright.”
He could only watch eagerly as his uncle pasted the prepared price list on the side, simple and easy to understand.
[Braised Pork: 1000 Star Coins per portion.]
[Limit one portion per person.]
Seeing the limit of one portion, Hao Yan knew he was right to come early. He stared curiously at the two large buckets deep inside.
This should be the braised pork.
Wonder if the taste would be better than the barbecue? He was looking forward to it.
Over there, the aroma of barbecue had already begun to diffuse, and more and more people were lining up. Some were return customers who snatched it yesterday, some hadn’t snatched it, and some were attracted by curiosity about the queue.
Young Master Bai saw it was about time, took a deep breath, smiled at Hao Yan, and then swish opened the lid of one of the large buckets.
Because of the special material, it was still hot after being carried over in the morning. The moment it was lifted, a rich meat aroma that instantly overwhelmed the sky shocked Hao Yan on the spot.
T-This… what exactly is this smell? How can it be so fragrant?
Yesterday he thought barbecue was the ultimate, the most fragrant he had smelled in his life, but at this moment he doubted it. The completely different yet equally fatal meat aroma made him dizzy, only able to swallow saliva desperately.
“I want to eat, give me a portion quickly wuwu.” Couldn’t stand it, how could it smell so good?
His brain buzzed, suddenly remembering something, he immediately swiped his card, afraid of being beaten to it.
Facts proved he was right. The diners who were bustling and lining up at the other four barbecue shops outside suddenly smelled an indescribable meat aroma.
That kind of smell that seemed to be fragrant from the nose to every pore of the body made the surroundings quiet down instantly.
The next moment, they stiffened their necks and looked suspiciously at the braised pork shop emitting the fragrance.
Almost a few seconds later, those who hadn’t eaten barbecue rushed over there quickly.
Good guy, don’t know what barbecue tastes like, but this fragrance, I must have it!
Just as Young Master Bai hooked up a piece with the hook and placed it on the cutting board, a crowd rushed in crash.
Young Master Bai shouted at the top of his lungs: “Line up and swipe cards, limit one portion per person!”
The crowd howled ao, quickly stood in order, but their eyes stared straight at the meat chunk placed on the cutting board behind the transparent glass, which was shaking Duang Duang and trembling.
Clearly familiar exotic beast meat, but that emitted charming meat aroma was completely different!
Sounds of swallowing rose and fell. As Young Master Bai raised the knife in his hand, he quickly divided a large piece of braised pork into four square portions.
He accurately placed one portion into a box, then poured a little soup with a spoon. Immediately, the exquisite white box formed a sharp contrast with the rich braised pork chunk coated in bright red sauce.
Someone swallowed saliva, almost arching their head behind the glass.
Hao Yan took it carefully with trembling hands, afraid he would cry to death if he dropped it.
He didn’t even use the small fork, biting off a piece on the spot ah woo. The moment it entered his mouth, his eyes widened. A texture completely different from barbecue.
But it was just one word: fragrant; two words: soft and glutinous; three words: soul lost!
Soft and glutinous in the mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on lips and teeth. Soaked all night, the whole piece of meat was saturated with soup. It melted in the mouth, yet wrapped in thick juice. Reluctant to swallow, but couldn’t stop it sliding down the throat before recovering.
Wuwu, too delicious!
The crowd behind swallowed saliva in unison. The second person who recovered immediately squeezed Hao Yan away, swiped the card and stretched out a trembling hand: “Mine! Give me a portion quickly!” Ahhh if I don’t eat this bite, I’m gone!
Just as Young Master Bai handed it over, that person impatiently buried his head and took a big bite. Entrance, eyes shining, buried head again crunch crunch two bites, actually finishing the meat chunk a bit smaller than a palm in three bites.
The whole process took less than two seconds.
After eating and looking at the empty small box, that person’s eyes reddened: “Gone, gone… how come it’s gone?”
