Seems to notice the slight fear in Catherine's eyes.

Hannibal smiled slightly and said:

"It's a pity. It seems that this lady has some wrong understanding of our association."

"...Then it depends on what your so-called correct understanding is."

"Haha, indeed, the philosophy of our association is somewhat difficult for ordinary people to accept. After all, it is too profound."

Having said this, Hannibal took out a silver watch from his breast pocket.

He stroked the outer shell of the silver watch with his hand, as if he were stroking his lover.

If you look carefully, you will find a line of strange writing engraved on the outer shell of this silver watch.

"We walk in the light, but we willingly serve the darkness."

"When you look up at the stars, remember that everything is empty."

"When you're frying fish and chips, remember, anything is allowed."

……

What the hell? You’ve got a Creed? You’re not an assassin?

For a moment, I caught a glimpse of the association’s creed on the silver watch.

Jiang Jin didn't know what kind of expression to show for a while.

It seems that he noticed that the expressions of the two customers in front of him were unnatural.

Hannibal smiled slightly, picked up a few good sweet potatoes, put them in his pocket and handed them over.

"Just two silver orchids, please."

"...Well, thanks."

"I should be the one thanking you. It's great that I've saved more for the investigation now."

I saw this guy showing a weird smile.

Catherine seemed a little uncomfortable.

Then he secretly tugged at the corner of Jiang Jin's clothes and signaled him to leave quickly.

Now that the pork and sweet potatoes have been bought.

There is no point in staying in the market, so go back quickly.

Although Jiang Jin is still a little curious about this special investigator of the Fog City Culinary Association.

But this curiosity is not enough for him to take certain actions.

However, just when the two of them turned around and were about to leave.

Hannibal seemed to say to Jiang Jin inadvertently:

"I will stay here for another week. If you need any rare ingredients, please feel free to come and pick them up."

"..."

When Jiang Jin heard these words, he didn't respond.

Instead, he silently pulled Catherine away from the scene.

When the two finally arrived outside the market carrying a bag of pork and a bag of sweet potatoes.

Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And patted his plump chest with his hand and said:

"What a weirdo, it makes me feel so uncomfortable."

"...It's true, it's really strange."

Judging from the first impression, Hannibal is a somewhat reckless businessman.

But after talking to him carefully for a while, Jiang Jin could feel the strange atmosphere.

There was a strange look in that man's eyes.

It makes people feel like... like a frog nailed to the experimental table.

The most critical thing is that the fog Jiang Jin saw with the "Eye of Truth" also showed obvious abnormalities.

The mist on ordinary people is "holy energy".

Usually it shows golden brilliance under the gaze of the Eye of Truth.

But the mist on Hannibal's body... is dark.

That deep color is different from the holy energy stage in a normal human body.

Whenever I see that dim tone.

They all give people a strange feeling as if they are staring into the abyss.

So far, Jiang Jin doesn’t know what this means.

It's just that he instinctively felt that something was not right about the "Fog City Cooking Association".

I'd better avoid dealing with those people in the future... I always feel like they have some strange purpose.

With such fear, Jiang Jin first sent Catherine back to her home, and then returned to his own home.

They say it’s my home, but it’s actually Uncle Taiqiong’s home.

It's just that Jiang Jin has been living here since she was picked up, and she is considered a boarder.

At this time, Uncle Taiqiong had already sat comfortably on the chair and was drinking tea and chatting with his wife.

Seeing Jiang Jin enter the door, the uncle also greeted him and said with a smile:

"Have you bought the pork? If not, I'll go find someone to get some wild boar meat."

"Now that I've bought it, you'd better buy less of the wild boar meat you hunted in the wild. It tastes too strong."

"Tch, you're being hypocritical. We've been eating that meat since we were young...although we're still a little bit uncomfortable eating it now."

As he spoke, Uncle Taiqiong also curled his lips.

Ever since Jiang Jin came here more than two months ago.

Their family has very picky tastes, and many of their dishes are unappetizing.

But fortunately, Jiang Jin is back now...there will be delicious food again in the evening.

Just like that, under the earnest gaze of Taiqiong and his wife.

Jiang Jin returned to the familiar little kitchen and started to work.

......

Unknowingly, time passes slowly.

As night fell, a young and beautiful figure rushed home.

"Braised pork, braised pork! My braised pork!"

Poof! Little sister Charles banged open her door after get off work.

He looked at the dining table like a poor hungry man who hadn't had a full meal in countless years.

When she saw the large bowl of shiny pork belly on the dining table, her eyes radiated a strong light.

Seeing Xia Er standing there drooling, Jiang Jin, who came over with bowls and chopsticks, also quickly invited her to sit down and eat.

If you look carefully, the food on the table today is extremely rich and mouth-watering.

Large pieces of braised pork look rich in red sauce and golden in color.

When stewing, Jiang Jin also likes to pair with some radishes, potatoes and the like.

Although the pure braised pork is slowly simmered with only fresh soy sauce and rock sugar.

Originally it was not suitable to add any side dishes, just to enjoy the pure meaty aroma.

But after the juicy white radish is added and stewed together, the radish will absorb the meat juice and reduce the greasiness, making it more suitable for home meals.

At the same time, there is a large plate of tall cauliflower with local characteristics placed next to it, making the combination of meat and vegetables more reasonable.

This tall cauliflower combines the iconic corolla of broccoli with the tender and juicy long stalks of kale, and its taste is very close to that of asparagus.

When stir-fried with minced garlic, it tastes very crisp and refreshing. This alone can make a big bowl of rice.

Such a rich meal coupled with hot white rice really made Taiqiong's family's faces glow.

"Oh! This meat is so delicious, I can't stop eating it."

After starting to eat, Sister Charles picked up a piece of braised pork that was fat but not greasy, had a slightly sweet taste, was soft and melted in the mouth, and put it into her mouth.

Just bite it with your teeth and taste it with your tongue, and a look of extreme happiness appears on your face.

Good braised pork is soft and moist in the mouth, and has a slight resistance to bite, but it becomes crispy and crumbly after a little chewing.

Those red, shiny, and trembling square pieces of meat should be eaten while they are hot.

The first bite you take is the red fleshy skin with full gelatin texture, which is soft, glutinous and has a very cute texture.

The lower layer is crystal clear fat, which is stewed to give it a jelly texture and will melt quickly in your mouth.

The next layer is lean meat, which melts in your mouth, is soft and glutinous, and exudes a strong meat flavor.

Pork skin, fat meat, lean meat, followed by another layer of fat meat, and finally a layer of lean meat.

Five-flowered and three-layered, with distinct layers of fat and thin skin, and no sharp edges.

A strong meaty aroma with a hint of caramel and spices.
