Chapter 267: Smoked bacon

The time from the god candy to the ding is very short, only enough to judge once, so eyesight and experience are very important. Fastest updates

I saw my grandmother shouting: "Good grandson, you can start the pot." ”

The two of them began to hold a large water ladle and scoop the boiled sesame candy out of the pot and put it in the large basin next to it.

Grandma sprinkled some shredded ginger and orange peel on the little syrup left in the pot, which should be shoveled up after cooling, called "sugar pot", another caramel taste, and a little bit of ginger spicy and orange peel coolness, not only the taste is very good, but also a good medicine for the cough of the babies.

Li Junge didn't dare to eat more, otherwise a group of snacks at home would come back and find that there was no sugar pot, and they would make trouble.

The hemp sugar in the pot is waxy yellow and sweet.

Now that the temperature is still high, we will have to wait for a while to pull the sugar, just make peanut candy, sesame candy and rice candy while it is hot

This is where the wooden frame for making tofu comes in handy. There are still some small differences in the process of several kinds of sugar, such as sesame candy is a thin slice, and honey-soaked osmanthus is sprinkled on the rice candy, but in general, the sesame sugar is mixed with the main ingredient, and the tofu frame is brushed with oil, and the sugar is put in and pressed into squares, and then cooled to a certain extent and taken out and cut into small squares.

After these few things are done, it is time to pull the sugar.

This is a simple way to live, and it can only be achieved with great strength, so it can only be done by Li Junge.

Twist the hemp candy and hang it on a wooden stick erected on the grinding plate, holding a rolling stick in his hand, and as soon as he pushes it back, the hemp candy is stretched.

After putting the hemp candy back, pulling it again, repeating it a few times, and soon the hemp candy was energetic.

After the strength is strengthened, it will be pulled and twisted at the same time, and so on, the air in the waxy yellow hemp candy will become more and more mixed, and the color will become lighter and lighter.

By the time Li Junge pulled the hemp candy from yellow to white, he was already sweating profusely, and white steam began to come out of his head.

Grandma had already brought out the dustpan sprinkled with flour, and it was time to knock the candy.

Pull the white hemp candy that is still warm into thumb-thick sugar strips and put them for about 20 minutes, and after the sugar strips become hard, beat them into four or five centimeters with a wooden stick, and wrap them in flour.

At this time, my father and mother also got up and came over to help knock hemp candy.

Not a big pot of raw sugar, pull out a big pot of finished products.

Li Junge picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, it's still the taste when I was a baby!"

My mother smiled: "That is, you still have this leisure, there are so many sweets and pastries in the county, you have to make them yourself!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is different, in the future, there may be a special sugar maker in the village, and this craft will definitely be popular with tourists at that time." ”

……

"Twenty-three, bake the stove", today is the New Year, and the whole family will start to clean thoroughly as soon as they get up in the morning.

Cleaning all over the house, especially the kitchen, beams, and corners, is called "sweeping dust".

The dust is clear, sweep away Chen's, and welcome the new arrival, which is also the meaning of removing Chen Buxin.

At noon and at night, they eat dry rice, meat, and especially pig's tongue.

Eating glutinous rice with the Miao family means that dry goods can plug the mouse hole, and the mouse will not steal food next year.

Well, well, in fact, there are eight funny dogs, there have been no rats at home for a long time, and there have been rats in the countryside for a long time, and it's weird......

The custom of pig tongue is fun, the tongue is plugged, and the tongue is the meaning of plugging the rat hole.

The understanding can be understood in this way, but it cannot be pronounced in the mouth, the tongue in Shuzhou with the eclipse is a sound, there is a subsidence, the meaning of loss, so it can not be said.

If you have to say it, you have to say "turn your head", because the tongue is very flexible in the mouth, and it makes sense to call it "turn your head".

Transfer to earn, make money, that's a good mouthpiece, the ancestors really broke their hearts in order to avoid it.

There is also a joke about this, that it is said that the pig killer sells meat in the butcher's shop, and his own child comes to see it: "Wow!

If you don't say it, you will be beaten and beaten up, and you will have to educate it seriously when it comes: "This thing should be said to be a profit! Remember!"

As a result, the baby came again the next day, and swept the board with his eyes, and his tongue had been bought, so he said: "Wow!

This is that it is not unjust to be killed.

……

Gossip back, let's talk about drill stove baking.

It is said that tonight the god of the stove will drill into the heavens from the hole of the stove and report to the Jade Emperor about the situation of this family for a year.

Don't take the usual path, the god of the stove is so capricious!

Therefore, the work in the house must be done in any case, and the stove must be cleaned after dinner, and all the miscellaneous items such as kitchen knives and cutting boards must be put away and cannot be left on the stove.

Next, the statue of the Lord of the Stove by the stove was respectfully taken down and a new one was pasted, indicating that the Lord of the Stove had changed into clean clothes, so that he could go to heaven in a glamorous manner.

This matter made Li Junge in his childhood very entangled. Even if the gods can be big or small, but the children's rhyme sings "Seven are not loose, eight are not loose, cats drill the stove to bake, pull out the ash is not loose". Even if he changes into new clothes, can this stove god still look at it when he arrives in front of the Jade Emperor?

……

Incense and candles were lit on the stove, money paper was burned, and offerings were placed.

It means that the family will reimburse the travel expenses for this trip, and ask him to say more good things in front of the Jade Emperor and report on good things.

The hemp candy made the day before must be put on the table, so that the stove god's mouth is sweet, and if he wants to say anything unpleasant, he can't say it when his mouth is stuck with sugar.

After this chase is at the mercy of everyone, everyone can go to sleep and rest.

When it comes to the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, it is time to smoke bacon sausages quickly.

The production of Sichuan bacon is actually not complicated, and I don't know why it didn't reach the north. In fact, the pork is washed, naturally placed overnight to drip dry water vapor, Sichuan salt, pepper, kaempfera, star anise and other spice powders are fried together to heat and fry until fragrant, and then dipped in wine with a brush, dipped in fragrant salt and brushed on the surface of the meat.

This is to sterilize the meat and avoid the presence of harmful microorganisms during curing.

Then grab the hot and evenly fried salt with your hands and spread it evenly on the meat, and rub it vigorously, especially where there are bones, and increase the amount of salt.

Layer upon layer of meat is placed in the vat, such as bones and chunks of thick legs, at the bottom of the vat, and the melted brine allows them to soak and marinate to taste.

After marinating for three or four days, turn it over, add a little salt, and the meat can be lifted in about seven to ten days.

Wash the meat in boiling water for one to two minutes, wash off any excess salt water on the surface, and let the water dry.

Then you can hang it on the beam above the stove, and let the smoke from the usual firewood fire slowly smoke into bacon.

The sausages are stuffed and hung under the eaves, dried for one to two weeks, and hung above the stove for smoking.

However, if you want to follow this method, you can't eat delicious bacon until before the Qingming Festival.

Of course, you can eat it before, but the name can only be called salt meat, because it lacks that smoky taste.

Li Junge's family is a little special, grandma is the longest elder in the family except for the fourth grandfather, many relatives in the city have to come to visit during the New Year's holidays, and the best gift when leaving is the farmhouse-style smoked bacon and sausage.

Therefore, it is not possible to wait for the stove to be smoked slowly, and it must be smoked before the Spring Festival.

That's where professional equipment comes in.

When he got up early in the morning, Li Junge worked with his father and nailed out a smoking shed on the roof of the building with thin plates.

The smokehouse is like a huge box, with four branches closed at the top, leaving a quarter to smoke.

On all four sides of the vertical side is a loose leaf, which can be opened, and a relatively wide opening is left at the bottom, which is used to refuel.

The other three sides are not at the end, leaving a small gap of seven or eight centimeters high for air intake.

Long nails are attached to the inside to hang the meat and sausages.

Then use the back basket to carry the bacon sausage back to the back basket, tie the hemp rope and hang it layer by layer.

After hanging on all sides, the meat rope is threaded with steel bars and the meat is hung inside like a clothes pole, so that more can be smoked at a time.

However, it should not be too close to the middle, because the temperature of the fire in the middle is high, and if you don't pay attention to the smoke, it will become a barbecue.

After arranging the smoking shed, the hemp head flew up and looked at the shed curiously.

Si Xingzhun's technical team has been on vacation and will not come back until after the seventh day of the new year, so the hemp head has also been open in the past few days.

As soon as he saw that Li Junge and his father were doing something in his former residence, he hurried over to check the situation.

Li Junge bombarded it: "It's smoky and burning for a while, what are you doing here? Do you want to be a roast chicken? Hurry up!"

Dad looked at the pockmarks with a smile: "Our family's pockmarks may be enduring, they can herd geese, they can also shoot TV, and they can catch a pheasant and rabbit from time to time to give us a tooth sacrifice, which is more resistant than you!"

This is a typical parent-child grandson, Li Junge rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them.

Continuing to work, the next thing is to carry a few baskets of fresh cypress branches, peanut shells, sawn face, straw shells, and some fine firewood to prepare for the fire.

First burn a small fire in the middle of the shed with fine wood, then add fresh cypress branches, and after the fireworks come up, cover the peanut shell, and then cover the sawed face and the shell, and the smoke will roll out immediately.

Seeing this battle, Ma Tou was immediately frightened and flew away, originally thinking about what good it would be, but it turned out to be a monster that could breathe smoke!

Li Junge laughed: "I'm still thinking that you are really the Monkey King! Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace is not afraid!"

Dad laughed and followed.

Li Junge turned over the basket and sat on it, took out a historical record, and watched the fire while reading the book.

After two days like this, the fire was extinguished overnight, and when the shed was opened the next night, a smell of smoked bacon greeted me.

The bacon has become a series of hard strips of meat, all black and gray on top, the nails are scraped, the lean part is red, and the fat part is shiny and translucent at the edge.

My parents began to take down the meat and carry it downstairs, and Li Junge also carried a basket downstairs, climbed up to the stove in the kitchen, and hung up the meat strips, pork ribs, buttocks, pork liver, and pig's head sausages one by one.

Grandma looked at the door with a smile: "This is called the New Year! If you don't kill pigs or smoke meat during the New Year, you won't be able to have a good New Year!"
