"BOOM!"

Lin Feng never imagined that eating Goldmoney tripe could explode with juice!

The small honeycombs on the Goldmoney tripe seemed to store flavorful broth. A bite would cause these honeycombs to burst, filling the mouth instantly with rich broth.

The intense fragrance and rich taste of the broth made Lin Feng chew enthusiastically, and the crispy, springy texture refreshed his perception again.

Goldmoney tripe is thicker than ordinary tripe, making it more chewy, yet the honeycombs are thin, which adds crispness and tenderness. The precise control of heat brings a perfect balance between crispness and toughness, neither too soft nor hard to chew, truly a mix of strength within softness, and softness within strength.

The most important thing is the incredibly fresh taste.

The broth is rich in fragrance but doesn't overshadow the inherent freshness of the Goldmoney tripe. With each chew, the tripe's own fresh taste would harmonize with the fragrant broth, creating a flavor Lin Feng has never tasted before.

Swallowing a bite, Lin Feng impatiently grabbed another piece of Goldmoney tripe, dipped it in a small pile of chili oil, and stuffed the whole thing into his mouth.

Chili not only removes odors but also excels at enhancing flavors.

A piece dipped in chili has a different taste from before; the original mild, smooth flavor is disrupted by the spicy kick, Lin Feng felt a fiery blaze igniting on his tongue.

The spiciness of the chili and the freshness of the tripe dance in the mouth, teasing the taste buds. The change in texture seems to open a gateway to a new world of culinary delights for him.

"Delicious, absolutely delicious, boss, I'm impressed with your skills. I can't think of any place in the Northeast where the braised meat tastes better than yours."

Lin Feng kept giving Wang Fan a thumbs up, lavishly praising him with every word.

Wang Fan smiled and said thank you, while the second uncle beamed and replied, "If you like it, buy more; after this village, there might not be this shop."

Lin Feng burst out laughing, "That's a must! Give me 20 pounds each of Goldmoney tripe, pig's hock, and pig's ear. Slice one pound of pig's ear for me to eat now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fan fished out a pig's ear from the braised meat pot. The large pig's ear resembled a small fan, trembling slightly, capturing attention.

"Do you need it seasoned? Seasoning costs an extra 5 cash."

Lin Feng confidently replied, "Yes, plenty of vinegar and chili, just right for my hunger."

Wang Fan flattened the pig's ear on the board, first cutting off the tip, then slicing it in half, dividing it into three parts, weighing it before slicing each part into strips.

Placing the sliced pig's ear into the food box, Wang Fan picked up a fresh cucumber, a red bell pepper, a large piece of scallion, and a cilantro stalk to prepare.

The slices were laid in order: cucumber strips, red bell pepper strips, cilantro stems, scallion strips, minced garlic, and dried chili, layered on the pig's ear strips.

The pig's ear already had a base taste, so Wang Fan simply added soy sauce and aged vinegar.

Then he lit the gas stove, picked up the oil ladle, added some peppercorns, followed by some peanut oil and sesame oil.

After heating the oil until the peppercorns turned brown, Wang Fan placed a small strainer over the pig's ear box.

"Sizzle..."

Hot oil poured from the strainer onto the dried chili, instantly releasing a rich aroma.

As the hot oil seeped downwards, the garlic aroma exploded again, followed by the scallion fragrance wafting out.

An expert is recognized by their touch.

Just by watching Wang Fan arrange the toppings, Lin Feng knew Wang Fan's craftsmanship was top-notch.

Making cold dishes looks simple, but it's not easy; a small carelessness could mean the difference between 10 points and 100 points.

The toppings may look like simple stacking, but there's craft hidden within.

On top were dried chili, minced garlic, and scallion strips. Combining with dried chili, garlic, and scallion, the hot oil was no longer scorching.

This way, when it contacts the cucumber strips, they won't become watery, which greatly affects the texture. The squeezed out moisture from cucumbers would also affect the pig's ear absorbing the sauce, deducting points repeatedly.

Receiving the mixed pig's ear, Lin Feng was full of anticipation.

This dish was always close to his heart; wanting it as a child was unreachable, but now having grown up and earned money, he indulges whenever, never tiring of it.

Lin Feng used chopsticks to pick a strip of pig's ear, placing it into his mouth.

"Crunch crunch..."

With every bite, the pig's ear strip collided with his teeth, producing sound.

The pig's ear has a unique texture, crispy yet soft, soft yet resilient. Its thin, elastic skin gives a distinctive chew, accompanied by a "crackling" sound, one reason Lin Feng loves it.

When teeth break the pig's ear skin and reach the inside, the texture changes.

Lin Feng could distinctly feel the tender, juicy, soft meat within, melting in the mouth, contrasting with the outer skin's texture.

Delicious!

Extremely delicious!

Taking another chopstickful, this time more abundant: scallion strips, cucumber strips, minced garlic, red bell pepper strips, pig's ear strips, all gathered together.

The appearance alone ignites appetite, leaving taste aside.

Soft white scallion strips, vibrant green cucumber strips, bright red bell pepper strips, maroon pig's ear strips mixed together, showcasing rich color and layers.

Lifting it close to the nose, taking a deep breath, rich garlic and onion scent, refreshing cucumber and red pepper, hearty meat fragrance, blended with the soy sauce's umami, vinegar's tang, and sesame oil's richness, it's captivating in a second.

In the mouth, the tongue first senses a rush of sourness, followed by vinegar's aroma quickly spreading, creating an appetite-whetting sensation.

Soon, the spice arrives, igniting the tongue, intertwining with the vinegar aroma, urging him to chew something immediately.

With each chew, the cucumber and red bell pepper's refreshing taste breezes across the tongue, merging with the fiery sensation.

"Crunch crunch..."

"Crunch crunch..."

Two distinct crisp textures issuing contrasting sounds, playful and delicious.

Some folks wandering the streets were soon drawn over.

"What's this guy eating, it looks so tasty?"

"This crunchy sensation seems so interesting!"

"Honestly, this meat smells divine, is it sold at this shop?"

"Hey, now that you mention it, I remember seeing Di Renjie streaming about this shop yesterday; he gave it five stars! Since I'm here, I gotta buy some to try."
