零北本來是要去正合興買橄欖片，雖然還沒耗菇早餐，但是已經快中午了，本來不想吃的，但是正合興前的幾個歐巴桑熱情有勁的招呼，讓我凍未吊想交關他們的生意。在大統被火燒之前，這一帶原是高雄市的首善之區。雖然現在沒落了，但是附近的商家都還保有全盛時期的自慢與古意。本來打算小砸20元喝完餛飩湯了事，但有賣餛飩的阿桑剛巧今天沒餛飩。我今天因此沒關照她的生意。她不但沒起呸面，還很誠意的道歉。這是現在功利的社會裡難得一見的古意。
I was heading to Zhenghexing for dried fruits. Although I had not had breakfast, I did not plan on eating anything, as it was almost noon. However, I was intercepted by some ladies' invitation right before Zhenghexing. Before the fire at President Department Store, this area used to be the centre of the universe. Despite the passing of the time, the pride and honesty of the shoppes remains. I was planning on getting a NT$20 Wonton broth, but the lady did not have it today. So I patronized her neighbour for Pork Blood Jelly and Intestine Broth. The Wonton lady was not upset. Instead, she was being very apologetic. This type of behaviour is typical of Taiwanese good old days.
賣豬血大腸湯那攤沒有標價。通常我會問清價錢再點菜，但今天感覺實在對勁，就小賭了。
The price was not marked. Normally, I would enquire about the price before ordering, but I felt lucky this morning.
The serving was generous/這麼大一碗：
裡面還有菜頭。味道很濃醇甘甜，火候很夠，但調味是現代式的，比古早味少鹽。
After finishing the bloody jelly, I discover the ridiculously generously serving of pork intestine/把豬血吃完後，發現大腸是如此誇張地多：
一碗50元是行情價，但這種分量要坐時光機才找得到。
At NT$50 a bowl is the "fair" market price. However, the serving at this place is much more generous than others.
後記：後來跟女人去吃，兩人分一碗。結帳時，她們要60元。說是看到我們兩人吃一碗，給我們大碗的。但是零北不覺得有比較大碗。為了避免爭議，建議點餐時先問清楚價錢。
Note: Later, I revisited this establishment with my woman. We shared a bowl. The bill came to NT$60 instead. They said they had given us a large portion. However, I did not feel there was any difference. I would recommend confirming the price when ordering.
