The freshly cooked rib meat is steaming hot, a real test of your teeth. The tender pork practically melts in your mouth with every chew, and a touch of fat on the lean meat adds a finishing touch. The rich flavor, combined with the seasoned vinegar, is simply amazing.
Garlic-flavored pork belly is also a classic dish. The best pork belly is cut into thin slices and boiled. Then, a whole bowl of garlic is peeled, minced, and the cooked pork slices are arranged on a plate, sprinkled with cucumber shreds, minced garlic, and toasted sesame seeds. A sauce is made with soy sauce, chili oil, sugar, and sesame oil and poured evenly over the meat. It doesn't need any garnish or plating; it's all about the fresh and rustic flavor.
Large slices of pork, once cooked, are dipped in minced garlic to cut through the greasiness and enhance the flavor, allowing you to savor the original, fresh, and fragrant taste.
Li Ning was sweating profusely as he ate, but he still didn't forget to ask Xu Milu for advice:
"Junior Aunt, the seasoning is clearly not quite right, but I still think it tastes delicious. Why is that?"
"It's all about the atmosphere! And with such fresh pork, it's impossible for it to taste bad no matter how you cook it."
Xu Milu then set her sights on a plate of stir-fried pork intestines with garlic sprouts that had just been served. Many people don't like this dish because they think pork intestines have a strong odor, but if it's prepared properly, it can be a delicious dish.
Clean the pig intestines and cut them diagonally into small sections. Heat oil in a pot, then add ginger slices, garlic slices, and bay leaves to sauté until fragrant. When they are almost cooked, add the pig intestines and stir-fry. Add cooking wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and water and simmer. After boiling over high heat, reduce the sauce until thickened. Add garlic sprouts and stir-fry until just cooked through. Then remove from the pot.
The pig intestines I cleaned at home were spotless, with no unpleasant smell or impurities. Stir-fried over high heat, they were fatty but not greasy, offering a unique flavor. Slightly piping hot, the intestines' rich texture, combined with the flavor of garlic sprouts, made for a dish that goes perfectly with rice.
This homecoming banquet was lavish, with seventeen or eighteen more dishes served afterward, including braised pork with soybeans, spicy crayfish, mutton stew with radish, spicy beef, dry pot with crispy rice crust, deboned meat, pork meatball soup, and braised prawns...
In the end, Xu Milu finished her meal with a bowl of white fungus soup. Turning around, she saw that Li Ning, Da Yang, and Xiao Sun had already eaten their fill and were now carrying cameras around taking pictures of people to help them digest.
Her appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and Xu Milu is a little worried that if this continues, she will eventually be able to eat a whole cow by herself.

Before leaving, Tian Wen insisted that Xu Milu take the pig's head back with her, refusing to budge no matter what:
"Look at you, why are you being so polite with me? This pig's head was originally saved for you. Besides, if it weren't for your help, my Meizi's marriage wouldn't have gone so smoothly. In the past, when people heard that it was Xingning Village marrying off a daughter, they would run far away as fast as they could. Now they are scrambling to marry girls from our village."
The old village chief was beaming with joy:
"I'll work for another two years and then retire, but I'll remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"
Unable to refuse, Xu Milu had no choice but to accept the large pig's head and put it in the trunk of the car.
"Then I'll accept it. In a couple of days, I'll need to spend some more time clearing the land. I'll need to trouble you, village chief, to hire some people to help me clear the land. The wages are negotiable."
"Hey! What do you need wages for? The people in our village can clear the land for you tomorrow. The village is rich now; we've bought several machines!"
Tian Wen waved his hand: "Little Xu, how many acres of land are you opening this time?"
"Leave only 300 mu as a reserve, and put the equipment on 700 mu and open them up for me."
Xu Milu thought for a moment and said.
