Chapter 178

"It reeks!" "Actually, I don't think it's that bad. Not as smelly as I imagined." "As expected of something made from intestines, it's way too pungent, right?" "To be honest, I want to say... I think it actually smells a little bit fragrant..." "That's what I wanted to say, too. Why does it smell both foul and fragrant at the same time?" The scent was truly peculiar; it was clearly foul, yet carried a strange, savory aroma. The viewers spent a long time deliberating and concluded that it must be due to the massive amount of spices used. They were certain that while preparing the pork intestines, a heavy hand with spices had been used to mask the odor, resulting in this bizarre, dual-natured scent. Having "solved" the mystery, the viewers grew bold enough to inspect the pile of pork intestines in front of Ling Miao. They looked soft and bouncy, supple and tender. They were a brilliant golden-brown. Some could even clearly see the pieces in the dish wobbling and trembling with every touch, glistening with a thin, golden layer of oil. The audience was transfixed.
