Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

This wild boar is really big. The hairy pig weighs about 350 pounds. After it is completely cleaned up and the internal organs, head and trotters are removed, it still weighs about pounds.

Lin Xia gave most of the meat to Dart. How much could she eat by herself? So she only asked for a piece of pork fat, 10 kilograms of the best pork belly, a pork bone with meat, and 20 kilograms of pork ribs, and gave the rest to Dart.

Dart didn't like the pig's internal organs, heads, feet, tails, etc., but Lin Xia took them all and asked Huo An to help him clean them up.

Dart didn't know, but Huo An knew that once the pig's internal organs were cleaned up, they would taste much better than meat!

Lin Xia first put the meat and ribs allocated to her into the space, so that she could cook them at home whenever she wanted to eat them.

But after cleaning the pig's internal organs, heads and feet, I borrowed Dart's kitchen utensils and rich seasonings and asked Huo An to teach me how to make them.

Anyway, he also wants to teach Dart how to cook pork dishes, so I might as well join in, hehe.

Following Huo An's instructions, Dart cut the pork, ribs and other ingredients into pieces and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. Today, he only took out a part of them to learn how to make some of the most common pork dishes. He also wanted to see whether the pork dishes taste good and whether he could win the recognition of the town residents.

So, Dart decided to invite everyone in the town to try it today, and asked Lin to invite them.

Lin Xia assisted from the side and strongly hoped that the residents of the town would like it, because this was directly related to the success of his future pig farming business!

So we decided to give out some of the stewed meat we made today for everyone to taste, so as to change their prejudice against animal offal.

Dart’s main dishes include braised pork, lion’s head, twice-cooked pork, steamed egg with minced meat, sweet and sour spare ribs, and pork ribs stewed with radish soup.

The radishes were kindly provided by Lin Xia. They are spring radishes, which are not available in the small town in summer!

Considering that people in the small town might not be able to eat spicy food, Lin Xia’s favorite boiled pork slices were not made.

However, the above-mentioned ones are considered the hardest dishes among pork dishes, and they are quite demanding and time-consuming to make.

Moreover, the quality of wild boar meat is definitely not as good as domestic pork. Huo An has come up with many ideas for this, using a pressure cooker and adding a lot of spices to marinate it.

After Lin Xia cleaned the pig's head, tail and trotters, she added the corresponding seasonings according to Huo An's exclusive secret recipe, including some uncommon spices that Huo An kindly provided. Half an hour later, the aroma began to dominate the kitchen, attracting Lin to come in and look in frequently.

After Lin Xia cleaned the pig liver, pig stomach, pig kidneys, and pig large intestines, she put most of them into the space and cooked them herself. She only took out a small portion of the pig stomach and pig large intestines and put them into the braised food pot.

She has already thought about it. After the braised food is ready, the remaining braising liquid and the pot can be stored directly in the space. Whenever she wants to eat the braised food in the future, she can just take it out and put the vegetables in to cook.

After smelling the overbearing braised food, Dart began to have some ideas, but he hadn't tasted it yet, so he didn't say anything for the time being.

"It would be great if we had lotus root, dried tofu, and bean curd skin. They would be delicious if we put them in the stew!" Lin Xia muttered as she looked at the stew pot.

Huo An was watching Dart cooking. Hearing Lin Xia's grumble, he rarely refuted her and agreed, "Yeah, the food in the small town is still too monotonous. Many ingredients are not available."

After hearing this, Dart was really curious. Where did these two people get these ideas about diet? In the future, he would ask these two people for advice. He could no longer be satisfied with his current level. Learning never ends!

After several hours of hard work by three people, the finished product was completed.

Because this time we are just inviting everyone to taste new dishes, and not inviting the whole village to a banquet, there won’t be many of each dish, and everyone can only try one or two bites!

Lin Xia only contributed a large plate of braised food platter, and put the rest into the space. Oh, of course, in order to thank Huo An for his hard work, she gave him a large portion.

Not only that, Huo An had always been coveting the little wild boar that Lin Xia had killed. Seeing that Lin Xia was hard-hearted and unwilling to give it up, he strongly requested that she treat him to a roast suckling pig, and even went so far as to teach her how to make it.

So Lin Xia could only offer a little wild boar. This dish was the most beautiful one in the whole place and it was very impressive!

However, Lin Xia also took the opportunity to grab Huo An and deal with the remaining wild boars. He put them all into the space and could just take them out and cook them later.

As for Huo An's suggestion of leaving a few behind in case he needed to cash out in the future, Lin Xia had completely forgotten about it after seeing the finished product of the roast suckling pig.

Nothing is more important than food now. As for lack of money - that is impossible. With Da Zhuang as a living guide in the back mountain, there will be no problem catching any prey we want in the future.

Da Zhuang: Listen to me, thank you~

And I have to build my own pigpen. If the pork dish is successful this time, then raising pigs is definitely a must. It is definitely unrealistic to rely solely on hunting to provide pork. And wild boar meat is fun to eat occasionally, but if you eat it often, domestic pork will definitely taste better.

The guests invited by Lin also arrived at the hotel lobby one after another, because Lin made it very clear that this was a tasting event for new ingredients and new dishes, and the emphasis was on tasting rather than filling up the stomach, so everyone came after having dinner at home.

Some people are not even very interested in pork and just come to join in the fun.

After the dishes were ready, the people in the kitchen tasted them all and drank a bowl of pork bone and radish soup. They all ate until their bellies were full and felt extremely satisfied.

After completing the delivery, Zack came over to enjoy the food at Huo An's call. After all, he had Huo An and Lin Xia as his backers, so he was guaranteed to have enough to eat.

In the opinion of Lin Xia and Huo An, who have tasted various homemade pork dishes, wild boar meat dishes are actually quite good. If it weren't for Huo An's unique recipe and superb cooking skills, these dishes would definitely be mediocre.

But to Dart, Lin and Zack, who had never tasted them, these dishes were already amazing.

Of course, a few people did not taste the roast suckling pig. After all, it was a whole piece and it would not be appropriate to taste it in advance. Of course, they had to wait for the townspeople to taste it together!

Sure enough, when all kinds of dishes were served on the table, everyone was amazed at the colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes on the table, as well as the golden crispy roast suckling pig in the center of the table.

This kind of amazement reached its peak when each person could only taste one piece of meat, and when they wanted to pick up another piece to savor it, they found that it was gone.

This made me feel that the dishes I had just tasted were extremely delicious, unforgettable, and I couldn't help but want to try them again.

Dart had one of his most exciting moments as a chef—

"Dart, when will these dishes be available? Can we eat them tomorrow?"
