The next day

The weather finally improved, and the sky was clear early in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly.

Seeing that the weather was so good, Zhang Feng hurriedly carried the bacon and sausages at home to the yard to dry, and after a while, the yard was full of bacon and sausages.

As soon as the bacon was dried, my cousin walked in with a smile.

"Big brother, I heard that Uncle Butcher's family slaughtered a local cattle today, do you want to go and have a look??"

"Oh, really a local scalper?"

"It should be, I also heard what Uncle Er Niu said!" Zhang Yi nodded and said.

"Alright, let's go check it out!"

Local cattle are not the same as beef cattle from other places, because the cattle raised by local old farmers are generally not fed with auxin antibiotics and those messy things, so the quality of local beef is very guaranteed, and such beef is very popular even if it is expensive three or five yuan per catty.

When Zhang Feng and his brothers arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already full of villagers and tourists.

Everyone, you are three catties and I am five catties, and the beef that I am usually reluctant to eat is very generous today.

"There are too many people!" Seeing so much heat in the stall, Zhang Yi was a little worried, not knowing if there was still beef when it was the turn of the two of them.

"It's okay, look at me!" Where do you need to queue up at the stalls in the countryside, everyone is you squeeze me and I squeeze yours, whoever squeezes fiercely, will buy first.

Coincidentally, Zhang Feng's physical fitness was good, and he followed behind the villagers, and squeezed into the innermost part in three or two clicks.

"Uncle Butcher, bring me fifty catties!"

"Damn, Xiaofeng, you buy so much, what else do we buy?"

"Yes, brother, please be merciful, you see that we still have so many people!"

Hearing that he bought fifty catties, the villagers and tourists behind him were boiling, and seeing that the opinions of the people behind him were getting bigger and bigger, Uncle Butcher also smiled and persuaded him: "Xiaofeng, or you buy less, I will kill one tomorrow, how about leaving you a few dozen catties at that time?"

"Tomorrow's meat is still the same??" Zhang Feng asked suspiciously.

"Of course, I found a good source, and I killed one every two or three days before the Chinese New Year, all of which were our local yellow beef!" said Uncle Butcher with a smile.

Hearing his words, not only Zhang Feng was relieved, but even the villagers and tourists behind him breathed a sigh of relief, even if they couldn't buy it this time, they would still have a chance next time.

So in the end, Zhang Feng only bought 30 catties, 15 catties of his own family, and 15 catties for Yiyi's family, I believe that the old man must like it very much, the beef ganba made by his old man tastes amazing, and he made dozens of catties last year, which is very popular with everyone, and he was eaten clean just after the New Year.

Seeing that the eldest brother bought so much, Zhang Yi didn't seem to be excited, he bought twenty catties at once, and saw that he and his brothers bought fifty catties at once, and the tourists and villagers behind were very helpless, fortunately, today's cow is very big, and there are seven or eight hundred catties of beef alone, otherwise everyone will definitely can't help but kill the two brothers.

"You kid also buy so much?" Zhang Feng didn't expect his cousin to also buy more than 20 catties.

"Hehe, didn't I buy it when you bought thirty catties?" Zhang Yi said embarrassedly.

Hearing his words, Zhang Feng couldn't help but shake his head, he bought thirty catties by himself, and he had to give half to Yiyi's family, and he only got a dozen catties.

"Okay, you can't eat it all for a while, you can put me somewhere, I'll help you make a cow dry!" Zhang Feng shook his head and said.

"Hehe, that's great!" Hearing what the eldest brother said, Zhang Yi was overjoyed.

Cow ganba, the cow ganba made by the eldest brother, it must be delicious, think about when I was a child, I could eat a mouthful of beef ganba at home, it was simply beautiful, even now, Zhang Yi is not greedy.

Then the two brothers carried the meat and walked to the old man's house.

"The old man is feeding the birds!"

"Yo, what are you carrying?" the old man heard the voice, scratched his head, and saw Zhang Feng and his brothers carrying a big plastic bag.

"The local yellow beef I just bought at the entrance of the village, why don't I take it and learn how to make beef ganba with you!" Zhang Feng said with a smile after putting the beef on the stone table.

"Local yellow beef??Did you kid buy some for me??" The moment he heard the local yellow beef, the old man's eyes lit up, he liked the best ingredients very much, and he was also very sensitive.

"I bought it, you see I bought a total of thirty catties, all for you, if you don't agree, I'm ready to buy fifty catties!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Who doesn't agree???Do you kid want others to agree to buy things?" The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked dissatisfiedly, because in his opinion, thirty catties is indeed less than bought, and if he is here, it is estimated that it is possible to buy hundreds of catties.

However, after listening to Zhang Feng's explanation, the old man shook his head, he didn't say anything, after all, it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, and if you eat meat yourself, you have to give others some soup, right?

"Yiyi, help me take out our big basin!"

"Got it, grandpa!" After a while, Yiyi took out the big basin at home.

"Xiaofeng Xiaoyi, the two of you cut the beef into small pieces of four or five catties, and marinate it later. ”

While giving instructions to everyone, the old man prepared all kinds of spices, such as peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, salt, chili peppers, etc., more than 20 kinds of spices.

"Hehe, this beef is good, it is worthy of free-range yellow beef, such hind leg meat tastes the best when made into beef ganba" The old man introduced it to everyone with a smile while marinating the beef.

Beef ganba, which is generally made in winter,

It is a kind of beef food that is processed by selecting high-quality beef from the hind legs and other parts of fat beef cattle, supplemented by an appropriate amount of salt, pepper and other seasonings, and using kneading, pickling, drying, air drying, and other processes.

In the winter of Aoyama, there is generally no snow, but it is also relatively cold, and the beef gan processed in the cold is the best, and the temperature is high in other seasons, and the processed beef gan is easy to spoil.

Put the cut beef into a large basin, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of salt and peppercorns, and knead carefully to make the salt and peppercorns evenly penetrate into the beef.

Then, put the kneaded beef into a clay vat, place it in a cool place, and seal the marinade for about 10-15 days. After the marinade is completed, it is opened to dry.

On a sunny day, take out the marinated beef, pierce it with a sharp knife at one end, thread a string into the hole, knot the loop, and put it on an iron hook.

Then, hang the worn beef iron hook on the roof or in the yard, nine days and nine dew, which lasts for about one month, that is, it becomes a cow ganba. This kind of beef dry meat, soft and tough, preserved for many years without changing quality, and the most important thing is that the taste is good enough.

"Okay, as long as you put it in the jar and marinate it for ten days, you can dry it!"

After marinating fifty catties of beef, the old man was also a little tired, but he was very happy, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

After watching the whole process, Zhang Feng has completely learned, and is ready to buy dozens of catties tomorrow and learn to do some by himself.
