Section 44: Smoked bacon
There were three members of the LTECH team, dressed in full armor, with thick down jackets, hats covering their heads, and masks covering their faces. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ye Mu shook his legs and asked, "Who has a lighter?" ”
"No flammable materials are allowed in mountain training, this is for you." Leite handed Ye Mu an electric heater.
"It's damn weather, I'm so unaccustomed." Ye Mu is a native of Shu Province, and he used to work in California, so it is difficult to see heavy snow in a year, and the temperature below zero is really a test for him.
They waited here for more than half an hour before Ron and the others came.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the endless stream of vehicles on the farm disappears without a trace, except for Hank and Jeff, who are free.
Ye Mu called a few skilled helpers and worked together, and soon got the wild boar meat out and cut it into strips. The moose and the white-tailed deer were sent out......
After the hard work and dirty work were done, Zhang Dongsheng was late and carried more than 20 bags of salt: "It snowed heavily halfway, so I didn't dare to drive too fast." Did you hit a wild boar? ”
"Both ends." Ye Mu said and brought the salt over, and poured more than a dozen bags into the basin: "You said about the live broadcast yesterday, I had something to do, and I forgot about it." How's that, are there many people watching your live stream? ”
"A few hundred, not a bad start." Zhang Dongsheng squatted down to help Ye Mu marinate pork, and after a while, he shivered from the cold, and said, "The fireplace in your house is an ornament." Burn the fire, I'm going to freeze to death......"
Nearly every home in Montana has a fireplace, and smaller homes can be heated by a Franklin stove. For example, the house where Ye Mu lives, the old-fashioned fireplace, is only decorative, or sitting in front of the fireplace to make a fire. Burning the fireplace does not have much effect on raising the indoor temperature. Boilers for heating, which rely on heating for heat......
"Uh, you don't know how to heat heat?" Suddenly, Ye Mu laughed gloatingly.
This guy doesn't know about the basement boiler heating, so let's say, his ranch house has no heating facilities.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Dongsheng asked puzzled.
"Damn, I guessed right, you're really a two-hundred-and-five. You don't really think the fireplace heats, do you? ”
"Huh?"
Ye Mu said that the heating method in his farm is that only a few use fireplaces for heating, and most families use heating. If the house is close to each other, the two families share a boiler, and the remote ones have their own boiler to supply heating.
"I went, I thought you were laughing at something. Lao Tzu is close to the county seat, and in winter, the air conditioner blows, and the electricity is uninterrupted. Zhang Dongsheng despised Ye Mu fiercely and said.
Well, Ye Mu gloated too early. It's close to the city. This is mainly due to the fact that the city's electricity supply network passes through the East Grasse grassland, which is not prone to power outages even in winter. However, the town of Park is miserable, the power supply system is aging, the population is scattered, and power outages are common in winter.
After the wild boar meat was marinated, the snow outside still did not stop, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger: "I have to go back." Anna was alone at home, I was not at ease. ”
"Well, you slow down. When you get home, call and let me know. ”
“ok。 Call me when you smoke bacon, I'll come over for live broadcast? ”
"Yes."
Zhang Dongsheng drove away, Ye Mu first burned firewood in the fireplace, and then went to the boiler room to burn the boiler and open the heating valve.
When they got home, Sansil and Xiaohua obediently squatted in front of the fireplace, quietly looking at the hot fire.
A couple of guys who had been running around outside for a day were lying obediently by the fireplace at this time. Even Erha, who is the most energetic, has become a quiet beautiful man again. And Xiaohua, this guy seems to have forgotten that he is a chipmunk, and he has been following them for too long, and he has learned to stick out the tongue of a dog.
The heavy snow stopped at noon the next day, and the snow outside was more than ten centimeters thick.
As soon as the snow stopped, the farm workers came out of their homes, cleaned the yard, and went outside to shovel the snow......
Winter life is like that, Ye Mu is not very accustomed to the climate of Montana, and he is in a good mood to accompany the three fools to play in the snow. More time is spent exploring space......
On the sixth day, the wild boar meat pickled in the bathtub was basically delicious, and Ye Mu called Zhang Dongsheng and asked him to come over to help.
Two wild boars, slaughtered a lot of meat. Ye Mu first took the meat to the kitchen, hot water, and then came back to clean the bathtub.
Cured meat must be washed with hot water.
You can't really do much by being busy. When Zhang Dongsheng and Anna came over, Ye Mu cleaned the small half......
"You're here. Come over and help, I'll hang the meat up. Ye Mu breathed a sigh of relief, shook off the water in his hands, and said.
Zhang Dongsheng placed the mobile phone tripod, rolled up his wrist, and said, "I have paid attention to 13,000 in the live broadcast room." ”
Ye Mu had also watched the live broadcast platform for a while, and he was no stranger to this kind of outdoor live broadcast. But one day my friends around me started to do the outdoors, and this feeling is quite strange.
"I was going to come over on a live broadcast, but there was no signal on the way, so it was turned off. Netizens are more interested in the outdoors in rural America, and when I heard that bacon was smoked today, I received three rockets and a few planes. Zhang Dongsheng smiled and continued: "I'm going to enrich my own show, are you interested in doing it together?" ”
"Okay, if you think of anything fun in the future, give me a call." Ye Mu didn't refuse or agree, it's still okay to play crazy with Zhang Dongsheng when he has nothing to do, if he does a live broadcast with him every day, it's really not where the interest lies.
Anna had already started cleaning the pork, Zhang Dongsheng turned on the live broadcast, Ye Mu went outside and took the shelf in, put it around the fireplace, hung the cleaned pork on the shelf, and turned on the electric fan at the same time......
"Lao Zhang, the cleaned meat is hanging on the shelf outside, and I'll go get two gasoline cans and come back."
"Hmm. Dear audience friends, the back of this commotion I see now is my good friend...... "Zhang Dongsheng is a very good talker, and his face is also very thick-skinned, and he is the one who talks like a river."
Ye Mu drove over, and Ron and Frank were outside to barbecue.
"Hey, boss, come over and barbecue. There are hot vodka ......"
"I'm making bacon, vodka is too easy to get drunk. Ron, do me a favor, I need two gas cans......"
"Bacon, Chinese bacon? I've eaten it before and it's fantastic. Ron said and followed Ye Mu into the warehouse, found two empty gasoline barrels, and according to Ye Mu's request, used the cutting gun to make the appearance that Ye Mu needed: "Can I follow you to learn the craft?" ”
"Of course." Ye Mu said with a smile.
Frank packed up his tools, closed the warehouse door, and came over to help carry the gasoline cans to the car.
After the equipment for smoking bacon was ready, Ye Mu brought the firewood stack over, poured some gasoline, and lit the fire. After all, it is a gasoline barrel, which has not been burned, and it is not very good if it is used directly to smoke bacon.
The firewood stack was ignited, and Ye Mu picked up the gasoline drum and put it on it.
The holes on both sides of the gasoline drum are a round pass, and there is a hole for adding firewood underneath.
The fire burned so hard that even the gasoline drums burned.
After the paint on the gasoline barrel burned off, Ye Mu went to the house to skewer the pickled wild boar meat with an iron rod.
The fire in the bucket was still very big, and Ye Mu and Ron went to the river to cut down two pine trees with thick legs, and it took a lot of effort to drag them over.
The stacks of wood burned into charcoal, giving off a scorching temperature.
Ye Mu took out the sawdust brought by Zhang Dongsheng, and there were four woven bags. It was when the lumber mill delivered him wood that he asked.
Wood chips are poured on the ground, mixed with a small amount of snow and ice, and used to cover the charcoal over an open flame. In an instant, white smoke billowed up. Only then did the bacon be put on top, and wet pine wood was added to prevent open flames
Two iron tongs, you can smoke forty or fifty kilograms of bacon at a time.
It is not easy to smoke good bacon, this is the quickest way, at least more than ten hours, and it must be baked over a charcoal fire.
