the rich juice makes people drool just looking at it, and I can't wait to pick up the pot and soak myself in it.
at the entrance, the duck neck can still taste a little sweet, but I don't know that the spicy taste is quietly hidden in it, until you finish eating a sudden force.
gradually, my mouth became numb and spicy, as if it had become a battle place for tens of thousands of lilliputian countries. They have a pointed gun in their hands and poke your tongue coating and palate so fiercely that you can jump up and do a tap dance at once.
