She Zhuyin took a deep breath, savoring the rich, overflowing aroma of the meat. With her eyes closed, she said, "This isn't just the flavor of the braising spices. This Pig Head Meat itself has an extraordinary freshness."
"The meat is firm without being tough, and it melts in your mouth. It's definitely not ordinary pork. Even among Wild Rhinoceros Pig Meat, it would be the highest-grade kind. It probably wasn't frozen, either."
"No matter how advanced preservation technology is now, meat always undergoes some physical changes after freezing."
"Those physical changes damage the very foundation of the meat's texture, and naturally affect its flavor as well."
"But this dish has only gone through two physical states, from raw to cooked, so it retains its most original flavor."
She Zhuyin was undoubtedly a seasoned gourmet as well, able to speak at length about the virtues of all kinds of fine food.
She had eaten countless delicacies in her life, but at that moment, as every flavor blossomed on her tongue, the faint sweetness mixed into the fragrant spiciness brought that freshness to an incomparable height.
One bite was enough to make her whole body go soft with pleasure, while her heart tingled and itched, craving more.
Even deep in her heart, a certain feeling was drawn out by that flavor.
Any food, once the diner invested emotional bargaining chips in it, became an irreplaceable delicacy.
Looking at the neatly arranged thin slices of Pig Head Meat before her, She Zhuyin's appetite was thoroughly awakened. "Since you can't taste anything anyway, then these..."
Before she could finish, she saw her son—who had always shown no interest in food—drag the entire plate of Green Chili Stir-Fried Braised Pig Head Meat in front of himself and start eating in huge mouthfuls.
