Hans wanted two sauces: a smoked chili sauce and a salsa sauce Salsa sauce was ether With the addition of tomatoes—or "tomatillos"—its flavor contrasted with that of chili sauce

Li Du dipped the pork cheeks into the salsa before eating it He had never tried such a flavor before, and kept nodding his head as he ate it

In the end, Hans also ordered a Pozole soup, which was a clear soup served with several corn kernels andat all

However, Li Du’s eyes lit up after drinking it This soup had a pork stock base and had herbs, smoked chili sauce, and corn kernels The flavor was indescribable; spicy, fragrant, tasty, and with a uniquethe soup, he said, "Buddy, I underestimated this soup"
