A couple of days ago, I went to some stores and intended to buy a leather coat. On my way, lunch time comes. I decided to have lunch first. I like eating box lunch so I asked somebody where the box lunch store nearby is. A street vendor told me one. This box lunch store is located in Liufang snack street and the price is ten yuan for one portion: rice, meat, vegetables and free soup. One portion is offered with three kinds of meat: braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised chicken legs. You can choose one of each or you can choose three of each. I chose two pieces of braised pork and one piece of braised chicken legs. Okay, having said that, the key point is coming: the braised pork is really delicious. Rotten, fragrant and salty taste just right. Because it tasted so yummy, I added three more pieces of it at the price of three yuan each. One box lunch costs ten yuan with the offer of three pieces of braised pork, but if you want to eat more braised pork, you need to pay the price of three yuan each, no matter how you account, it is definitely not fair, but there is nothing you can do about it, just because it is very delicious, you also want to eat it and the store owner doesn't agree at a low price.

I'm not sure what you mean by rotten. It usually means the food has gone bad. Is that what you meant to say?

Rotten, fragrant and salty taste just right.

I mean the braised meat is braised enough and it is very easy to chew. How do you phrase it in English? Thank you very much.

You can say the meat is very "tender".

A couple of days ago, I went to some stores and intended to buy a leather coat.

On my way, lunch time comes there, it was just about time for lunch.

I like eating box lunches, so I asked somebody where the nearby box lunch store nearby iwas.

A street vendor told me about one.

This box lunch store is located in the Liufang snack street and the price is ten yuan for one portion: rice, meat, vegetables and free soup.

One portion is offered with three kinds of meat: braised pork, braised pork ribs, and braised chicken legs.

RThe rotten, fragrant and salty taste was just right.

I wouldn't say "rotten" here. Rotten is the opposite of appealing in English. I suspect some word didn't translate well to English. I am not really sure what you really meant to say. Maybe pungent? I have had braised pork, but still not sure.

One box lunch costs ten yuan with the offer of three pieces of braised pork, but if you want to eat more braised pork, you need to pay the price of three yuan each, n. No matter how you account it, it is definitely not fair, but there is nothing you can do about it, just because it is very delicious, you alsoreally want to eat it, and the store owner doeswon't agree ato a lower price.

This is a run-on sentence.
