Chapter 696: Darker Than Night (Part II)

The tenderloin is the most tender muscle in the pig, which means that there is no taste, and to compensate for the lack of meat in this aspect, I left enough fat in the cut, but we had to remove the silver skin little by little......"

“...... Whether it's baked or sautéed, it ensures that the fascia doesn't break as a result......"

On the meadow outside Scamander's house, Elena dismantled the whole pig and explained it methodically.

The blades that extend from Hekate in the Polar Night are so thin that they may even be twice as thin as a common A4 printer paper in later generations, and as the blades penetrate and return, the atmospheric pressure will cause the pork to join together and remain in its original shape.

This also means that Elena and others need to manually disassemble each part little by little.

Obviously, as with the dismantling of building block toys, it is extremely important to have a proper disassembly order and a clear knife arrangement.

On the other hand, since the Yorkshire white pig that Mrs. Scamander bought had been bled and hung several days in advance, there was no bad scene of blood and blood flowing.

At least for the two little witches, Luna and Hannah, it's better than catching slugs to slice and decapitate them in Potions class...... It's even much better to squeeze the juice or something, and the wizard's psychological quality education in this regard is indeed more advanced.

As for Newt Scamander, the excitement in his heart is almost all expressed in his face and body language.

Decades passed, and it was difficult for him to meet one or two wizards who had a systematic view of anatomy.

And like Elena, there is no wizard who does not coincide with him in terms of hands-on ability, theoretical foundation, logical thinking, and research direction - in the field of anatomy, the non-magical world is obviously much more refined than the magical world.

Smooth muscles, abdominal fat, upper shoulder fascia, various bone ......

There is no doubt that for Newt Scamander, Elena's categorization is a crucial poke at the window paper, and he can't wait to rearrange his work and look at it again.

You must know that before that, most of the structures in the magical world were based on general external vision.

For example, the head, chest, internal organs, thighs, tail – not by their function.

“...... Bone-in pork, boneless loin cuts, boneless loin cuts, pork chops with spine, tenderloin, pork belly...... These are the main parts of the pork spine that can be sorted out, and they are also the most suitable parts for frying, and you should be familiar with them......"

“...... Next, let's take a look at the front leg meat or shoulder pieces left over after the pork brisket has been removed......"

In the interval when Newt Scamander was slightly distracted, Elena had already processed most of the pieces of meat in a hurry.

With the progress of the dismantling of the huge Yorkshire white pig, in addition to the simple dissection and organization explanation, some of the content that had been prepared for a long time began to appear in the girl's orderly explanation.

“...... In the magic cut, I let the blade penetrate through the skin here, and the bottom only cut into the fat layer without destroying the muscle tissue, because when I roast slowly, the fat and juice can be extracted......"

“...... In Spain, there is a type called Illyrian pork, which, in addition to the famous Iberian ham, is mainly divided into tenderloin, small tenderloin, pork belly, tender shoulder, plum meat, and pork belly. Although each type of meat is popular with foodies all over the world, I personally prefer pork belly and plum meat......"

Elena licked her lips, patted her hands on the two pieces of flesh, and whispered.

"Plum Plum Meat P is two small pork tenderloins on the shoulder of a pig, shaped like a feather, so it is also called "Feather Pluma", this small piece of meat fat snowflakes are scattered like spider webs, the taste is delicate and tender, the meat is full of juice, and even makes people have the illusion of eating Wagyu beef......

"The pork belly is the fattest meat in the essence of the pork belly, the fat proportion accounts for 32%, the fat melts in the mouth is simply intoxicating, even if it is only a little spice and pepper seasoning to fry it is already delicious, just bake it lightly until medium-rare, sprinkle with a little salt, and then gently bite into it......"

With the girl's devilish moan, all the wizards present swallowed their saliva in unison.

It was already almost time for dinner, and Newt and the little wings had just been working with them again, when they suddenly heard this detailed description, they even had the illusion that they could eat half a pig.

"Waist tip cuts, pork fillets, leg meat, femurs, loin chops, ham, meat covers, hooves, lower leg meat, joints...... All in all, these are roughly the pork we usually buy in butcher shops......"

"Well, yes! I almost forgot, and this pig's trotter forgot to deal with ......"

Elena carefully checked the various kinds of pork on the table, and suddenly picked up the pig's trotters that were placed aside.

In traditional European cuisine, they usually choose to throw away the difficult hooves, i.e. the toes, and leave only the area above the ankle for roasting and stewing, which is obviously unacceptable to Elena.

"Pig's trotters, this is a good thing, and it hides quite a good secret......"

Elena said as she took out her small cross again under the confused gazes of Newt and the others.

Smack.

Twisting lightly along the crossroads of the small black cross, the "Hekate of the Polar Night" quickly turned into a miniature version of a short sword with a slight stimulation of the magic, which would theoretically be a heavy sword if it were paired with an amplification charm.

"By cutting the trotters in half, we can expose the center of the trotters and the collagen, so that after boiling, they can easily blend into the soup and form the most comfortable white ......."

"Pigs, pigs' trotters?!Hmm, Miss Caslana, you can't be a member of the Druids, are you?"

Newt Scamander asked half-jokingly as he glanced at the full table with a strange face.

"But that's almost the end of it, isn't it? What an eye-opening trick...... I have to admit that I'm starting to look forward to the evening feast, and to be honest, I'm a little hungry after hearing all that you've said. ”

In his impression, it seems that in addition to the strange wizard school that believes in nature, most of the people he knows may have some pursuit of eating, but most of them are only limited to taste, not the utilization of ingredients.

Thankfully, Elena isn't that crazy for the time being.

After all, judging from the girl's current trajectory, the slightly hideous-looking pig's head, as well as the pile of things that exude a strange smell of pig sewage, pig urine bubbles and the like, Elena still put them on the other end and didn't touch them.

However, just when it seemed like everything was about to get on track.

"No, there's a real essence part, and I saved them for the end. ”

In the puzzled eyes of the Scamanders, Elena suddenly walked to the pig's head, which had been placed on the meadow under the table from the beginning, and the intestines and bulging skin that seemed to give people some bad thoughts.

Elena took out her wand and tapped the pile of intestines in her hand.

"Clean up. ”

Magic is so elegant and pleasant.

As a strange existence of cause and effect inversion, as long as you can clearly think about your own needs, and present them through the correct spell and spell casting posture, you can indeed avoid a lot of less beautiful and pleasant processes.

At least......

In this way......

Whether it's the Scamanders or the little wings, the resistance won't be so high......

Elena thought as she picked up the short sword in her hand and placed it on the pig's head, and solemnly began to introduce the last part of the content, which was also the most terrible part in the eyes of most Europeans—

Legend has it that only the devil will enjoy it......

Those dark ingredients that are darker than the night......

"Yellow throat, tooth stem, pig nose tendon, pig brain, pig eye ......"

"These are all good things~"
