Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

"Yes, yes, this braised pork is delicious!"

"This sparerib is more delicious, sour and sweet."

"I like roast suckling pig, it's crispy..."

"What kind of meat is this? It's very fragrant, with a sticky and chewy texture. I love it so much!" This is a compliment to braised food.

Dart was extremely happy to see everyone praising today's dishes so much.

It’s not that I’m thinking about making money, but as a chef, I feel very excited when the food I make receives such high praise.

Although today's cooking was all done with Huo An's guidance, today's cooking methods and the use of various spices completely opened up Dart's thinking for future cooking methods.

Huo An was pulled aside by Datla, and the two of them whispered for a long time. It seemed that they reached some kind of consensus and both sides seemed very satisfied.

Huo An and Dart walked towards Lin Xia together, pulled her and said, "Lin Xia, didn't you build a pig pen? Are you ready to raise pigs?"

Lin Xia: "Yes, I have this plan, but I'm not in a hurry, because I have enough meat now, and raising pigs seems to be quite troublesome, and I need to consider feed.

"Alas, raising pigs is much more troublesome than raising cattle and sheep. Cows and sheep only need to eat grass, but pigs eat everything!"

Dart's smile visibly disappeared from his face, and he said with a worried look on his face, "What should I do? I see that everyone likes pork, and I want to increase the number of pork dishes in the future. If there is no meat source, this will be difficult~"

Huo An comforted him, "Don't worry about that. I can get you some pork, but the cost will definitely be much higher! But Lin Xia, who told you that raising pigs is difficult?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Xia was puzzled. In her memory, pig farmers had to cut grass for pigs, cook pig food and so on.

Huo An rolled his eyes and said, "Nowadays, pigs are raised scientifically. There are special nutritious feeds. Pigs are omnivorous animals. They eat everything. Do you understand? Feeds are also sold specially. The price is the same as forage grass. And if you want your pigs to grow faster, you can also make your own feed. You just need to buy a special feed processor. You can make any fancy feed you want. Pigs are the easiest to raise."

It seems that I still don’t understand it thoroughly enough!

Lin Xia immediately became interested: "Then do you know where I can buy piglets?"

"I do know, but I won't buy piglets. It's too tiring. I'll introduce him to Old Muchi later. He raises cattle and sheep anyway, so it won't be a problem for him to buy pigs."

"Is Mu Qi here today?" Lin Xia looked around and found that Mu Qi was nowhere to be found.

Dart asked Lin about it. Lin said, "When I went to invite Mu Qi, he said he was not feeling well today, so he did not come and said he would come to taste it later. I paid attention to it and I think his body should be fine, but his mood is not good."

"Hmm~" Dart seemed to be thinking about something. "It's okay. There's no rush for this. It's just right. I'll practice my cooking skills with the meat Lin Xia gave me today. I'll practice my skills first so that I won't be in a hurry when I have abundant ingredients in the future. Lin Xia, Huo An has agreed to teach me cooking, and you gave me so much meat. I'm so grateful to you. So from now on, I'll treat you all when you come to my restaurant to eat. You can eat whatever I have here!"

Lin Xia and Huo An both happily agreed!

"I will talk to Mu Qi about the piglets and pig feed when the time comes. As for the feed processing machine, I will also help you contact it." Huo An said generously.

To be honest, Lin Xia was a little curious. Huo An was a little too easy to talk to today.

Facing Lin Xia's curious gaze, Huo An said proudly: "Don't think too much, I am a generous person."

The food in the small town is so monotonous that I am almost bland. It is not easy for a chef here to develop new dishes. I can just play a role and give some advice on cooking. I can have free food in the future. Why not? Huo An thought happily.

"Lin Xia~" Dart said sincerely, "Although Huo An can now contact a small amount of high-priced meat, I still hope that the people in the town can taste good and cheap food. So, please raise pigs as soon as possible. Even if you can't provide them for the time being, please provide me with other prey. Don't worry about the price, I will be very generous!"

Lin Xiale said: "Okay, I will try my best!"

Dart was happy, so he happily said to the others: "Everyone, since pork is limited now, starting from tomorrow, our store will only supply pork dishes in limited quantities. Only 3 servings per day, the variety is random, first come first served!"

Wow~ I didn't realize that he is also a good businessman!

Seeing Lin Xia's thoughts, Huo An said: "Don't praise the wrong person. I taught Dart this good idea. He was so stupid that he focused all his attention on cooking. How could he think of limited supply and hunger marketing? It had to be me!"

You are worthy of being the biggest profiteer!

After hearing about this, other residents became even more interested in it and said that they would come early tomorrow to grab it.

After the tasting session, Lin Xia also left the hotel and rushed home. She put the ingredients in the space into the refrigerator and divided the prepared braised food into portions, a total of more than ten portions, ready to eat slowly later.

All the pineapples in the field have been harvested. Lin Xia cut off all the pineapple stumps before it got completely dark.

The next morning, Lin Xia got up, had breakfast, and started cooking.

Prepare to store some food. Today I will take Da Zhuang to the forest to collect Cordyceps and ginseng. Only when they are collected and put in my pocket can they be my own. Hehehe~

First, refine a large piece of pork fat that Lin Xia has been coveting for a long time. Sprinkle the browned fat residue with fine salt and it tastes delicious!

Lin Xia ate a few pieces while they were hot, and put the rest into the space while they were hot!

Braised pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, and radish bone soup are all ready!

Lin Xia also has rabbit and pheasant, both of which are made spicy!

For the staple food, Lin Xia prepared a big pot of egg fried rice, which was also divided into more than ten portions so that it could be eaten at any time!

Juice, milk drinks, especially large pieces of ice, can be made in the refrigerator and put into space!

This time, with the luxury tent, you don’t have to worry about staying outside anymore!

Everything is ready, just take Da Zhuang and lead the way!
