Chapter 112 Little Wild Boar
Lin Xia was unhappy: "How can this not be more than half? The total price is 195 million, and I paid a down payment of 100 million! Did you forget that I still have money for the three wild boars?"
Huo An had a blank expression: So, your big half is just a little bigger than the half!
"Then I will pay it back in 12 installments, once every 10 days. This means that for the first 8 installments, I will pay 7 each, and the last installment will be . Am I right in my calculations?"
Huo An: “...Yes.”
Lin Xia happily put the tent storage box into the space and asked, "Brother Huo, when do you have time to go to Dart's house and teach us how to deal with wild boars? We are still waiting to eat meat!"
Huo An thought for a moment and said, "In the afternoon, after dinner, take a nap, and then we'll be at Dart's house after 3 o'clock!"
Lin Xia tilted her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen, and said shamelessly: "Brother Huo, it's time for dinner, I'll stay for dinner too! Look, I took care of such a big business for you, why don't you show some appreciation?"
Huo An didn't want to talk anymore, but he didn't refuse either. He went straight to the kitchen to find Zack.
Lin Xia ran for the whole morning and was a little tired. Although she didn't do any physical work, she used her brain a lot.
I found a chair and lay down to take a rest, while thinking about what I should do in the afternoon.
Huo An wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, but he was not so lucky. His family was harvesting pineapples and peanuts, so he had to go back to help.
Soon, Zack and Huo An came out with the prepared lunch. When Lin Xia saw the large portion and quantity of the lunch, she knew that Zack had prepared it for her early in the morning, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly at Zack.
Zach also greeted innocently: "Lin Xia, you haven't come to eat for a long time, eat more at noon!"
Huo An said casually: "It hasn't been that long, Zach, your memory is worrying!"
Lin Xia ignored Huo An: "Thank you, Zach. When my wild boar meat is ready, I'll treat you to roast suckling pig!"
"Tsk~ Do you know what a suckling pig is?" Huo An started to make up for it again, "It's just a little piglet. You don't think your big wild boar can do it, do you?"
Lin Xia rolled her eyes at Huo An and said, "Of course I know! This time I not only caught 6 big wild boars, but also 9 small wild boars!"
"What?" Huo An exclaimed, "You have nine little wild boars? Why didn't you take them out? And don't you have four big wild boars? Where are the other two?"
Lin Xia calmly took a bite of the food and said, "Two of them were badly damaged, so I sold them to Dortmund." He glanced at Huo An and said, "I was worried that someone would find an excuse to lower the price if I brought them over."
"Pfft~" Zack couldn't help but laughed.
Huo An's expression split into two parts, thinking of the time when Lin Xia took back a wild boar that he had not sold because he wanted to find an excuse to bargain. However, he was shameless and continued to ask: "What about the little wild boar? No matter what the little wild boar looks like, I will buy it at a high price! Besides, you see how good I am to you, how can you not even let me look at it? If you don't show it to me, how do you know I won't pay a high price? How can you do this to me? You..."
"Stop~" Lin Xia immediately stopped Huo An's mumbling, and Huo An also knew what to do and shut up in a second.
"I didn't take it out because I didn't plan to sell it at all!"
Huo An: "What do you want to do? Keep them all for yourself?"
Lin Xia: “Yes!”
Huo An: ... I knew she was a foodie, but I didn’t expect she could eat so much!
Huo An advised unwillingly: "Lin Xia, it's better to eat suckling pig occasionally, it's fresher, it's boring to eat it often, and you're eating 9 of them, you can just keep one or two for yourself, there's no need to keep them all, isn't it a waste? Listen to me, sell it to me, I'll make sure you get a good price. 6 per one, how about that?"
Lin Xia was a little surprised. She didn't expect that piglets are so much more expensive than big pigs. The hospital only paid 6 yuan for the first wild boar she bought from him. She didn't expect that a piglet would cost 6 yuan. And there was obviously room for improvement. If she raised the price a little bit, she might be able to pay off the first installment.
Well~ I won’t sell the piglet. I’ll keep it for now. If I have difficulty in cash flow later, I can give you a pig! Hehe…
"Brother Huo, please stop trying to persuade me. I just happened to get so many piglets this time. It will be hard to come across them again in the future! So I'll keep them for myself. Of course, I won't forget you and Zack! Besides, I'm not really short of money right now!"
Seeing that persuasion was hopeless, Huo An started to scold Lin Xia again: "You are not short of money. If you have the ability, buy a tent instead of paying in installments. Pay it off in one lump sum. Come on!"
Lin Xia... Lin Xia has no skills and can only focus on eating.
She finished her meal very quickly and rushed home to work. Before leaving, she reminded Huo An not to forget to go to Dart's house to clean up the pigs after lunch.
Huo An and Zack looked at Lin Xia who was leaving in a hurry, shook their heads and continued to eat slowly.
After Lin Xia returned, she first put the lunch from home into the space to eat outside later. Then she started to use a sickle to cut the remaining pineapple plants that had been harvested.
The cut pineapple stumps are placed on the ground to dry, ready to be used as firewood in the winter, or kept for use as fertilizer when Gotz upgrades the land next year.
After working until around two in the afternoon, Lin Xia went home, took a shower, restored her strength, and drank a bottle of fruit and vegetable juice with ice cubes. She felt so refreshed!
After packing up, I rushed to Dart's house.
After arriving, Huo An had not come yet, so Lin Xia first told Dart that Huo An would come over in a while to teach them how to slaughter the pig, and Dart immediately went to the kitchen to prepare.
I remembered that today is Saturday and I can go shopping on TV again. I bought the last piece of kitchenware last week and I wonder what I will have today.
I was so busy this morning that I forgot to watch TV shopping. So I went to the counter and called to inquire. I learned that the product this time was the "Fruit of Power". It was such a surprise. The price of 10,000G was nothing to Lin Xia, so I placed the order without hesitation.
After buying things and waiting for a while, Huo An finally arrived.
Lin Xia immediately pulled Huo An to the kitchen. Huo An looked around Dart's kitchen, praised it repeatedly, and immediately began to direct the two of them to work.
Huo An is a reliable person. Once he promises something, he will do it seriously.
Not only did he instruct the two on the steps, he also told them the effects of different water temperatures on pig hair removal: "Pork is different from other animals. Its skin is also very delicious when it is cooked. There are many dishes that cook meat with the skin together, and the taste is excellent. Therefore, when we handle it, we must be careful not to burn its skin.
Moreover, the pig skin can be removed separately and fried to make pig skin tripe, which is also a good food. Lin Xia, take out the cutting tool I gave you. There is an electric hair scraper inside. This hair scraper can be used in two ways. One is to shave the hair directly, but the hair roots will remain in the pores of the animal;
The other is a hair scraper with strong suction, which is suitable for what we are doing today. First, scald the pig with water of appropriate temperature to open its pores, and then scrape the hair out, even the roots. When cooking, the food will not be affected by the taste of the pig hair. "
Huo An took a sip of water and continued, "Of course, if you don't mind the taste difference, you can just shave it. This method is more convenient."
After hearing this, Dart and Lin Xia expressed their understanding.
Afterwards, after cleaning the pig hair and other parts, Huo An began to instruct Dart to cut up the pig, dividing it into different parts according to the pig's structure - pork legs, tenderloin, ribs, pork fat, pig offal, etc., and his instructions were very detailed.
In his words, if he learns everything in one go, there will be someone dedicated to handling the meat in the future, and he can just buy it ready-made when he wants to eat it. He doesn't want to go through the trouble of doing it himself.
