"...Pork tenderloin is the most tender muscle on a pig, which also means it lacks flavor. To compensate for the potential lack of savory aroma, I left a sufficient amount of fat during the cutting process, but we must remove the silver skin bit by bit..."

"...Whether for roasting or stir-frying, this ensures that the fascia won't rupture..."

On the meadow outside the Scamander house, as she dissected the whole pig, Elena meticulously explained with great organization. The blade extending from [Nyx Hecate] was incredibly thin, possibly even thinner than a standard A4 sheet of paper. As the blade pierced and returned, atmospheric pressure would hold the pork pieces together, maintaining their original form.

This meant that Elena and the others needed to manually separate each part, bit by bit.

Clearly, just like disassembling a building block toy, a rational order of disassembly and a clear approach to blade placement were crucial.

On the other hand, because Mrs. Scamander had bought a Yorkshire pig that had already been bled and hung for several days in advance, there were no messy scenes of flying blood and gore.

At least for Luna and Hannah, the two young witches, this was much better than slicing and dicing slugs, or even juicing them, in their potions class. The psychological education of wizards in this area was indeed quite advanced.

As for Newt Scamander, his excitement was almost entirely expressed on his face and through his body language.

After decades, he rarely encountered a wizard with a systematic understanding of dissection.

And someone like Elena, whose practical skills, theoretical foundation, logical thinking, and research direction were all unique in the field of dissection, was unprecedented. The non-magical world was clearly more detailed than the magical world: smooth muscles, abdominal fat, shoulder fascia, various bones...

Undoubtedly, for Newt Scamander, Elena's classification method was akin to piercing the crucial window paper. He was eager to reorganize his findings and observe them anew.

Before this, the magical world's understanding of animal anatomy was mostly based on a general external perspective.

For example, head, chest, organs, thighs, tail, rather than organizing based on their function.

"...Bone-in pork, boneless loin chunks, bone-in loin chunks, bone-in pork chops, tenderloin, pork belly... these are the main parts that can be extracted from the pig's back, and they are also the most suitable for grilling and frying. You should be familiar with them..."

"...Next, we will prepare the foreleg meat, or upper shoulder meat, remaining after removing the pork breast..."

While Newt Scamander was slightly distracted, Elena had already quickly processed most of the meat.

As the dissection of the large Yorkshire pig progressed, in addition to simple dissection and tissue explanations, some pre-prepared content naturally began to appear in the girl's methodical explanations.

"...During the magic cutting just now, I let the blade penetrate from the skin here, cutting only into the fat layer without damaging the muscle tissue. This is because when I slow roast it, it can extract fat and juice..."

"...In Spain, there is a type of Iberian pig, known mainly for the famous Iberian ham, but it is also divided into tenderloin, small tenderloin, pork belly, tender shoulder, plum meat, and pork belly. These meats are very popular among foodies around the world and have a great reputation, but personally, I prefer pork belly and plum meat..."

Elena licked her lips, patted the two pieces of meat, and said softly.

"Plum meat is two small pork fillets on the pig's shoulder, shaped like a feather, hence the name 'pluma'. This small piece of meat has snowflake-like fat marbling like a spider web, with a delicate and tender texture, and is full of juice. It can even give people the illusion of eating wagyu beef..."

"As for pork belly, it is the fattest and most tender lean meat in the essence of the pig's abdomen. The fat ratio is simply intoxicating. Even if you only use a few spices and pepper to season it before searing, it is already delicious. Just lightly grill it to medium-rare, sprinkle with a little salt, and then gently bite into it..."

Accompanied by the girl's devilish whispers, all the wizards present swallowed their saliva in unison.

It was already almost dinner time, and Newt and the little critters had just finished working together. Hearing such a detailed description at this moment, they even felt like they could eat half a pig.

"Tip of the loin, pork slices, eye of round, femur, sirloin, ham, meat cover, pig knuckles, lower leg chunks, joints... In short, these are roughly the pork cuts we can usually buy in butcher shops..."

"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot, there's also this pig trotter that I forgot to process..."

Elena carefully checked the various cuts of pork on the table and suddenly picked up the pig trotter placed aside.

In traditional European cuisine, they usually choose to discard the difficult-to-process trotter, that is, the toe part, leaving only the area above the ankle joint for roasting and stewing, which was clearly unacceptable to Elena.

"Pig trotters, these are good things, hiding quite a good secret inside..."

As Elena spoke, she took out her little crucifix again under the confused gazes of Newt and the others.

Click.

Twisting the black crucifix lightly at the intersection, with a slight stimulation of magic, "Nyx Hecate" quickly transformed into a miniature short sword. If combined with an Enlargement Charm, theoretically, it would be a greatsword.

"Just cut the pig trotter in half, and we can expose the center and collagen of the pig trotter completely. This way, after simmering, we can easily integrate them into the soup, forming that most comforting white..."

"P-Pig trotters?! Uh, Miss Kaslana, you wouldn't happen to be a follower of the Druid faith, would you?"

Newt Scamander glanced at the full table with a strange expression and asked half-jokingly.

"However, that should be about the end of it, right? Truly an eye-opening skill... I have to admit, I'm starting to look forward to the evening feast. To be honest, after hearing you say so much, I'm actually a little hungry."

In his impression, it seemed that apart from that group of strange wizards who believed in nature, most of the people he knew might have some pursuit in terms of food, but most of them were only limited to the taste, rather than the utilization rate of the ingredients.

Fortunately, Elena was not yet that crazy of an existence.

After all, judging from the girl's current trajectory, Elena still put the slightly ferocious-looking pig head, and that pile of offal and pig bladder that smelled strange on the other end and didn't touch them.

However, just when everything seemed to be getting on track.

"End? No, there is still a real essence, I specifically saved them for last."

Under the puzzled eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Scamander, Elena suddenly walked to the pig head and those intestines and bladders that looked a little troubling, which had been placed on the meadow under the table from the beginning.

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

"Scourgify."

Magic, that's just so elegant and pleasurable.

As a peculiar existence of inverted cause and effect, as long as one can clearly think about their needs and present them through the correct spells and casting gestures, it can indeed save a lot of less beautiful and pleasant processes.

At least...

That way...

Neither Mr. and Mrs. Scamander, nor the little critters, would have such a high resistance...

"W-Wait... you wouldn't be planning to..."

Newt Scamander's face suddenly turned a little green, looking at Elena in disbelief.

"Don't worry, Mr. Scamander, please give me a few minutes, let me introduce you to the door to a new world..."

Elena smiled slightly, picked up the short sword in her hand, placed it on the pig's head, and solemnly began to introduce the last part of the content, which was also extremely terrifying in the eyes of most Europeans.

Legend has it that only demons would enjoy...

Those ingredients darker than night...

"Windpipe, jaw tendon, pig nose cartilage, pig brain, pig eyes..."

"These are all good things~"
