Chapter 357 The Secret of Wild Boar’s Non-Foul Flavor
Chapter 357 The Secret of Wild Boar’s Non-Foul Flavor
“It’s a bit exaggerated to say it’s not fishy, isn’t it? How can wild boar meat not have a fishy smell? Is it because the sauce, chili and cumin cover it up?”
Yue Feng grinned, took the skewer and took a bite.
After taking a bite, Yue Feng was slightly stunned.
This wild boar meat is not as fishy as the barbecued meat I had eaten before.
To be more precise, you can hardly taste the earthy smell of wild animals.
The entrance is dense, the meat is firm, and you can taste the obvious aroma of fat.
After being mixed with cumin and chili powder, the overall flavor is very good. Even the imported meat that Yue Feng had eaten in later lives was not as flavorful as the roasted meat now.
“Eh! Damn! What’s going on? It doesn’t smell fishy at all. It feels better than the big fat pork killed at home!”
Yue Feng muttered to himself and immediately started thinking.
“Xiao Tao, don’t add any other seasonings to this grilled food except salt!”
Xiao Tao: “Oh! Good!”
Soon, the skewers of meat in front of Xiao Tao were also grilled. According to Yue Feng’s request, only a little salt was added, and no other chili or cumin sauce was added.
Yue Feng frowned and tasted it, but there was still no earthy smell.
Not only is it not fishy, but there is also no seasoning to cover it up. When the vegetarian meat is roasted, it tastes like a faint herbal aroma that is difficult to describe.
Not only that, the meat is very chewy but not tough like ordinary wild boar meat.
Judging from the taste of the first bite alone, Yue Feng even felt that it was much more delicious than the more than 200 kilograms of fatty pork slaughtered at home.
“How is it?” Guo Jianfeng asked.
Yue Feng nodded: “It really doesn’t smell like dirt! Who cleaned this pig? Which team did it?”
“We, Group 7, fought!” said a member of the forest ranger team at this time.
Yue Feng pondered for two seconds, figured out the location of Group 7, and slapped his head.
“I know what’s going on!”
“Huh? What’s going on? Don’t keep me in suspense! This wild boar meat tastes better than fatty pork, there must be a reason!” Guo Jianfeng asked immediately.
“Hehe! I’ll tell you later! There’s a story behind this! Eat the meat first, and I’ll tell you when we get back!!”
The words were on the tip of Yue Feng’s tongue, but he stopped abruptly.
Guo Jianfeng was also a smart man. Seeing Yue Feng winking at him, he did not continue asking.
After all, there are so many people around now, and it is true that they are all our team members, but we still have to keep a sense of propriety in some matters.
If the taste of this wild boar meat is no different from that of ordinary wild boar meat when roasted, it actually doesn’t matter whether it eats tree roots, tree bark, acorns or pine nuts.
But now, it is obvious that the quality of wild boar meat is much better than that of ordinary wild boar meat, and the staple food is Polygonatum sibiricum, a traditional Chinese medicine known as the immortal’s surplus food, which makes it more likely to happen.
Polygonatum sibiricum is a good thing. After pigs eat it, the quality of their meat improves significantly.
Does this mean that this thing has changed from an ordinary wild animal meat to another extremely scarce good thing?
To ordinary people, even if wild boar meat tastes a little bit better, it is still just wild boar meat.
But what about the dignitaries and the sophisticated gourmets?
There is a big gap here.
Without saying anything else, take the wild boar meat back, cut a piece with the skin and give it to Master Niu, let him taste it himself. What will be Master Niu’s reaction after he has eaten it?
You can tell it is wild boar meat just by the skin, but the texture of the meat is a level better than that of ordinary domestic fat pigs. Master Niu will definitely be very interested in it.
At this time, if you add that this thing grew up eating Chinese herbal medicine in the mountains, wouldn’t its status instantly rise?
Such good meat cannot be given to the canteen for task submission!
As the New Year approaches, the value of this meat can be even greater, and it can even be used as a top-quality gift.
For a moment, Yue Feng even thought of the expressions of his friends after eating the wild boar meat!
As long as the secret that the wild boars’ meat quality will be significantly improved after eating Polygonatum sibiricum is kept within a small area, Yue Feng will have another unique card in his hand.
Come here regularly every year to hunt wild boars and bring them back. It is a very good choice whether you want to give them as gifts or eat them yourself.
“Today’s two-year-old sow meat is delicious. Brothers, please don’t be polite and eat more!”
Yue Feng ate the meat on the skewer in big mouthfuls, ignoring the curious looks from several people nearby. When the others saw Yue Feng changing the subject, they naturally shifted their attention quickly.
More than twenty old men gathered around two big fires, eating barbecue and bragging in this icy environment, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
They are all young and strong team members, so their appetite is naturally top-notch. The meat is especially delicious, so each person needs at least several kilograms of barbecue to fill his stomach.
After eating, we got dressed, and then continued to barbecue. This wilderness BBQ started before one o’clock and lasted until after three o’clock.
In one meal, at least half of a two-year-old sow weighing 140 to 150 kilograms was eaten.
It was originally just a barbecue in the wilderness to suit the occasion, but everyone said that they had never eaten such delicious barbecue in their lives. The taste was simply amazing with just a little bit of sauce and seasonings!
Everyone was full and it was time to go back.
Yue Feng said hello to everyone, and everyone dragged the prey they had caught today and headed towards where the truck was parked. Strength lies in numbers, and more than 20 people were able to transport today’s harvest back in one trip. Even the offal of the wild boar and roe deer were not wasted, and they were all taken away!
Along the way, Guo Jianfeng seemed to be hesitant to speak. Yue Feng knew which side was more important, so he naturally would not talk about these sensitive topics in public.
It was not until the team members who went up the mountain returned to the forest farm and disbanded that Yue Feng came to Guo Jianfeng’s own office and started talking.
“Share these cigarettes with the brothers who are going up the mountain!” Yue Feng took out five packs of Ginseng brand cigarettes with cigarette holders from his bag as he entered the house.
“Let’s put the cigarette issue aside for now. What’s the matter with this wild boar meat? There’s no one in the room now!” Guo Jianfeng asked with a smile.
“Hehe! Actually the truth is very simple! I’ll just tell you briefly, and you just need to figure it out. Don’t speculate or talk nonsense!!”
Yue Feng chuckled and got another vaccination in advance.
“Row!”
“The big gentle slope on the wild boar nest side is yellow mud! Compared with black soil, yellow mud has some special differences!
For example, many special plant medicinal herbs are different from those grown in black soil!
These wild boars ate some things that grew on the yellow mud land, and the quality of their meat underwent a positive change!
So, as we eat it, the quality of this wild boar meat will get better!”
Yue Feng didn’t want to tell Guo Jianfeng more details, but he didn’t want to lie to him either, so he mentioned it in a subtle way and didn’t tell him directly about the Huangjing.
After hearing this explanation, Guo Jianfeng shook his head slightly: “This… is there such a big difference?
Wild boars are not only found in Northeast China, why don’t other places have this saying? “
“The textbook says that oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are called oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are called tangerines! The same orange tree can produce different fruits in different places!
For example, Chinese medicine is most particular about its origin. The same medicine may have obvious price differences in different origins!
It’s the same ginseng, but there’s a huge difference in efficacy between the one grown in the old forest and the one grown by artificial intervention by sowing seeds!
There are many reasons for this, and I can’t explain the specific principles! ”
When Yue Feng talked about the example of the orange tree, Guo Jianfeng was still a little confused, but after hearing the example of ginseng, he began to understand it a little.
“There are a lot of people and a lot of gossip on the mountain. Do you have any other plans?” Guo Jianfeng continued to ask.
Yue Feng smiled and nodded: “Whether this thing tastes good or not, it doesn’t really matter to ordinary people like us. No one will care about the little details that are different!
But if this wild boar meat is given as a gift or used to do business, it would be very valuable, after all, rare things are valuable!
I didn’t say this in front of everyone because I think there are so many people and they may talk too much. What if the news gets to the ears of the forest farm leaders and Director Zhou asks me for the wild boar meat?
We don’t need to talk nonsense, I can trust you, Brother Guo, but I’m not familiar with those players!
Brother Guo, you can’t find fault with me for my little trick! “
After hearing Yue Feng’s explanation, Guo Jianfeng nodded repeatedly. So that’s what happened.
“Don’t worry, I’m not the type to eat alone! I’ll give you one of these 16 wild boars today! You just need to help me keep this secret!”
“How can I do that? You’ve already taken so many cigarettes!” Guo Jianfeng said he was sorry, but his eyes showed great excitement.
“The cigarettes are distributed to the team members! After all, everyone has helped. If I don’t give them some benefits, they will be in a bad mood next time when we gather everyone to go up the mountain!” Yue Feng said with a smile.
“Okay, then I won’t be polite to you!”
“Hey! Let’s take a day off tomorrow. I’ll study the new venue. As long as the weather permits, we’ll continue later!”
“No problem! There’s fun to be had, benefits to be gained, and no boring work to do. These people are very motivated!!”
“Alright!! That’s it for now, I’ll take my people back first! If there’s any change, I’ll call you using the village office’s phone!”
“No problem! Let Master Sun take you back!”
……
Yue Feng came out of the office, strode to Master Sun’s car window and knocked.
“Master Sun, I’ll have to trouble you again to send us back!”
Master Sun also said quickly: “Get in the car!”
Yue Feng climbed onto the truck bed holding onto the fence, and Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen came over immediately.
“Brother, I just discussed with Xiaowen, Xiaowu and the others, there’s something wrong with the wild boar meat today!
This meat is simply roasted and is much better than the roasted wild boar meat we had before. What’s going on?”
Facing Guo Jianfeng and the temporary members of the forest protection team, Yue Feng would naturally be reserved, but now that there were only his brothers in the car, Yue Feng had no need to hide anything.
“Before coming here to check out the place, I went to Uncle Chen’s house! He told me about this place!
On this side of the wild boar den, there are several long slopes covered with yellow mud.
Yellow mud is not as loose as black soil. When the Polygonatum odoratum grown on this kind of soil freezes in winter, wild boars can only eat the top layer.
Therefore, instead of being completely dug up and eaten by wild boars, the surface layer of Polygonatum sibiricum will be loosened, which will accelerate the spread of the population in the next spring!
In recent years, these Polygonatum sibiricum have grown all over the hillside, and can now support even more wild boars!
Polygonatum sibiricum is a traditional Chinese medicine. The reason why wild boar meat is so delicious is because it eats a lot of Polygonatum sibiricum!
This is a rare thing! I was just wondering what to give to my friends during the Chinese New Year!
Let’s collect the wild boar meat, taste them one by one, and keep the delicious ones for ourselves, and don’t give them to the forest farm!”
