Chapter 684 - 627: Eliminate Unhealthy Practices
Liu Cheng had a quite pleasant stay in Ningtai County.
As the captain of the criminal police squad, Liu Cheng’s daily work was busy and came with tremendous pressure, and this pressure and busyness weren’t passive; there was a proactive element to them. After all, if current cases weren’t solved and became cold cases, it was still his responsibility. If the performance assessment tasks weren’t completed, the whole team would be affected.
Dozens of brothers followed him through thick and thin, and in the end, if they were inferior to others in every aspect, as a captain, he would lose face.
But in Ningtai County, Liu Cheng was responsible for communication, and this work was particularly simple; it was just too easy.
To say he should now go back and let someone else take over was certainly unnecessary. The travel expenses alone were not negligible. With a "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" attitude, a bit of work, and the occasional supply of delicious food, Liu Cheng was almost too content to think of home.
Speaking of home, one couldn’t help but mention hot pot... The local beef from Ningtai, sliced so thinly, dropped into the hot pot, briefly poached for a few seconds, and it was scorching hot in the mouth, unstoppable.
There was also tripe, omasum, duck blood, duck intestine, chicken, gizzards, goose intestines, goose feet, and a full set of pork belly slices, large cuts of kidney slices, pork intestine, pig stomach, pig’s trotters...
Liu Cheng now understood the concept that every part of the animal is precious, more clearly than he did in Beijing.
In Beijing, to specifically have food from a certain ranch would come at what price? Liu Cheng couldn’t be sure, but he’d only heard of it, never tasted it.
Moreover, there is one problem with the food in big cities: it is great for trying new things, as there is always a variety of flavors to satisfy everyone, from the tastes of obscure small towns to a collection of world-famous delicacies. But those that can truly focus and delve deeply are very rare.
