    <span style="font-weight:400">"We caught a few of them," Keith wiped the sweat off his face again. He had been sweating ten times more thanst time. However, it was all worth it. All of that running and dashing had gotten them three extra pigs.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Seesh, these guys are way too slippery." Never did he think he would have such a hard time. From crazy orcs? That was a yes. But these were pigs. That was a hard no!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Since we fought so long, we should do some testing." Keith cracked his neck. The only reason why he decided to chase these things was because he needed to do some testing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hoo!" Aria screeched as she watched Keith get to work.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith quickly took all the spices he had in his arsenal. Yes, arsenal. He was about to go to war!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let me think about this. I should use some rose herbs and dill to help out." After analyzing the situation, Keith incorporated some herbs with salt and pepper. This would help with the meat''s aroma and taste.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Once Keith finished massaging the meat. It''s loose. It wasn''t firm like a brick fromst time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith ced the meat on the pan. I should use a lower heat. Last time, he used high heat. Going at it slowly should be the right way. When he did that, the meat didn''t smell rotten. It was the same pleasant smell.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see! The problem with this meat is it needs to be brought up slowly." Keith thought he got it. But,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Darn it!" A rotten smell came from it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is it because it needs to be cooked perfectly?!" Keith thought. This was getting interesting. Keith took out another piece of meat and started to cook again.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And the pleasant smell happened again. Keith slowly brought the fire up, cooking it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The meat slowly became perfect! The aromaing from it was attractive. Instead of smelling potatoes, it was fried potatoes and meat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This feels more like a stew than a steak," Keith noted. After some time, it was done cooking. As he stared at it, Keith''s eyes were filled with excitement.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s try it!" Aria''s eyes were saying the same thing. She wanted to try it as well!


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two didn''t hesitate to take a bite! But the moment they did, it was overflowing. A stew? It tasted like a pork broth was poured down his throat. Not only that, it was smooth as it went down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">A meat that had the taste of a stew? Who wouldn''t be interested in something like that?!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I feel so full from eating one bite." Moreover, he felt full. It was simr to eating an entire pot of stew! He turned to Aria, and thetter was the same as him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This feeling is nice. Maybe I could throw this to Carolyn and Cadmus." Those two were gluttons. This could fill them up in an instant. However,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The vor isn''t there." Keith realized the discrepancy. The smell and taste didn''t match. The aroma was more potent than the taste.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I wonder if making a stew would be easier." Keith stared at the meat. He diced it into cubes before tossing it into a pot of water. That did it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What in the world?!" Keith blinked his eyes as he stared. The meat was slowly turning the water ck.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?!" Keith didn''t hesitate to throw the pot of water away. You can''t make it into a stew? As he thought about it,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What if I cook the meat first and then toss it in." Tossing raw meat into the pot was a no-go. But cooked meat should be fine, right?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Okay! Let''s do it!" Cooking the meat again, Keith tossed it into the pot.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That did it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" In two seconds, the meat dissolved into the pot!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Something like this was impossible. But what made it even more interesting was the smell! The aroma intensified!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So it''s supposed to be made into a stew!" It hit Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hoo," Aria called out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"On it!" Keith knew what Aria wanted. More vegetables and meat into the pot! A slew of different ingredients entered the pot.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This soup is so beautiful. It''s shining!" It was a beautiful yellow color. It looks like gold! Keith scooped some for him and Aria. And when they sipped,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"WOAH!" The vor wasplex. It was as if he was drinking a rich bone broth made from the bones of many different types of animals. Not only that, there was no scum or disgust from the top.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The soup was incredible!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We did something amazing, Aria!" Keith turned to Aria with joy.
