Chapter 710 - 653 Thank You very much
The evening dinner organized by the Zhengguang Bureau took place at a Sichuan restaurant, where the taste was excellent, and the spiciness was not too overwhelming. It must be said, no matter how many cuisines exist domestically, the reach of Sichuan cuisine is definitely top-tier.
Moreover, as the penetration of Sichuan cuisine has strengthened, the prevalence of various seasonings and ingredients used in Sichuan cuisine has also increased. Many regional dishes, when taken out of their local context, might struggle to find all the appropriate ingredients. Sichuan cuisine doesn’t have this problem, though, as ingredients can usually be found unless choosing an exceptionally exotic dish, and if you consider the various fusion dishes, its tolerance for what is considered "authentic" is quite high.
The skill of Beijing chefs is even less of a concern, as evidenced by a single dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, which was stir-fried to perfection. The combined flavor of pickled chili, spring onion, ginger, garlic, and sweet and sour created a taste that was sweet, sour, hot, and salty. The vegetable used in the dish was winter bamboo shoots, also known as yulan petals. No matter what is considered authentic, Jiang Yuan would give his approval with a thumbs up.
Jiang Yuan mainly focused on this fish-flavored shredded pork, pairing it with two bowls of rice. As for the other large meat and fish dishes on the table, he tried them but in moderation.
These past few days, he had been sating his cravings with the jarred pork knuckles, beef, boiled mutton, stewed goose, roasted chicken, grilled lamb ribs, and slow-roasted brisket that his old man had sent over, so his yearning for pure chunks of meat had hit an all-time low.
Seeing his fondness for the fish-flavored shredded pork, Tao Lu asked the restaurant to serve another portion and then clinked beer glasses with Jiang Yuan, laughing, "The case this time has definitely been winding and complex. If handed to a journalist, it could fill several serialized issues. Legal Botany... it’s quite powerful, isn’t it? It should be applicable to many cases."
"There are quite a few restrictions still," Jiang Yuan replied. He did not want to treat Legal Botany as a standard tool; it was just that the case had become complicated. Under normal circumstances, he had LV5 and L6 techniques at his disposal—it didn’t need to come to this.
As for Tao Lu’s preferences, Jiang Yuan was not that concerned.
Before Tao Lu could say anything more, Jiang Yuan continued, "There are still a few doubts remaining in this case, especially regarding the corpse. Should we continue to search for it?"
After the cleaning lady had cut the body into pieces, she tossed them into the property’s large trash bin. These trash bins, made of metal with lids, had their contents removed daily by garbage trucks in an automated procedure.
