Lao Geng loves fishing. When he has free time on weekends, he and a few fishing friends will go fishing in remote suburbs. Sometimes some farm aunties will sell them fruits and vegetables grown by farmers. Sometimes he will go to the local market to buy some meat or something. This pig's trotter was brought back from the suburbs. It is a big one. Well, it is really fragrant and has a lot less meaty smell!
