When I was a child, the smoked bacon was hung directly on the stove, and three meals a day were cooked on the fire, and smoked and roasted for a month or two. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's much simpler now, but the smoked bacon doesn't feel like it used to be.

There are still a lot of wild boar meat at home, and Ron seems to be very interested in bacon, Ye Mu asked him to go back and bring another bucket over, and how much bacon he wants to smoke by himself.

Zhang Dongsheng and Anna cooked beer in the kitchen and came out: "Warm up." ”

On a snowy day with more than ten degrees below zero, drinking a cup of hot boiled beer, the whole person suddenly became hot.

Zhang Dongsheng lifted a stool and sat next to Ye Mu, and asked Anna to hold her mobile phone and take pictures of smoked bacon.

"Just now, a netizen gave me 20 rockets, I wondered, is it to thank him. After the smoked bacon, I want to give him two pieces. "Today is the first time Zhang Dongsheng has received rockets since the live broadcast, and there are quite a few of them. Counting the local tyrants who sent twenty rockets at a time, so far they have received a total of twenty-six, more than 10,000 yuan, unless they are shared, Zhang Dongsheng can withdraw 5,000 soft sister coins, but it is a lot.

"You've got to thank them." Ye Mu said and handed a cigar to Zhang Dongsheng, and the authentic Cuban cigar that Carl gave him tasted good, and said: "There is still a lot of white meat in it, you quickly pick a few pieces of good meat and smoke it." ”

"Depressed, do you want me to smoke it myself?"

"Or else? You rural baby, don't tell me you don't know how to smoke bacon. "Ye Mu wants to serve his own thirty pieces of bacon, planning to smoke and roast the taste of childhood, and then smoke Zhang Dongsheng, he will definitely not be able to achieve a delicate level.

Zhang Dongsheng looked a little embarrassed about the raw meat of Baihuahua, and said, "Do you still have gasoline barrels?" Give me one. ”

Ye Mo chuckled and said, "By the way, do it yourself." ”

If you want to smoke and grill golden bacon, the most important thing is to master the heat and be patient.

smoked until the middle of the night, Zhang Dongsheng couldn't bear it first, packed up the bacon that had been smoked for ten hours and loaded it onto Ye Mu's pickup truck, and took the tietong back.

Ye Mu also put away the bacon and took it back to cool it with an electric fan.

The electric fan blew overnight, and the bacon dried up a lot.

Continue to burn firewood in the iron bucket and hang the bacon on it. Now it's baking, and the heat control must be precise. An open flame was burning underneath and passed to the top of the barrel, and the temperature was already not so high.

A little open flame and dry heat make the bacon slowly dehydrate and harden, but it can lock in a certain amount of moisture.

Ye Mu worked in a barbecue shop after graduating from high school, and the boss's barbecue skills were top-notch. After smoking, it is slowly roasted over an open flame and is also the exclusive secret recipe of the boss's barbecue stall. This kind of bacon can be eaten directly if it is burned with a musket...

"Hey, boss, come and try my bacon......" Ron got out of the car, carrying an insulated lunch box containing the bacon he smoked yesterday, he wanted Ye Mu to give some advice, but he saw that he was 'roasting', and asked, "What are you?" ”

"The second process of secret bacon is dry and warm dehydration." Ye Mu took the lunch box, tasted a piece, and said, "There is too much moisture in the bacon." Also, the bacon that has just been smoked should not be used, such as the bacon that was smoked yesterday, and it should be put in a ventilated place to dry today, and when the weather is fine, it should be taken out to dry. ”

Ron nodded, and suddenly thought that the smoked bacon from yesterday was placed in the freezer, and hurriedly asked, "My bacon was placed in the freezer, can I take it out to dry now?" ”

Ye Mu rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said, "It's best not to freeze the bacon, it will make the bacon completely dehydrated and very dry to eat." What do you put in the freezer? ”

"This morning."

"Take it out right away."

Ron ran back in a hurry, and after a while, he came back with bacon and asked Ye Mu how to bake bacon.

"The flame cannot exceed ten centimeters. Otherwise, baking will become barbecue, always pay attention to the temperature...... "Ye Mu brought out a piece of bacon, which was the pork belly on the little wild boar. After several hours of low-temperature dry-heat roasting, the oozing lard gives it a sparkling appearance.

The skin of the pig is oily and shiny, the fat part is very full and golden and translucent, and the muscle color is darker. This three-finger-thick pork belly is bright in color and bright red in color. There is also a smell of lard......

Ye Mu took out the knife and cut it from the bottom according to the thickness of two fingers. Peel off the outer layer, cut it into long strips, and say, "Taste it." ”

"Can you eat it?"

"Of course." Ye Mu said that he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, the salt taste went in, but it was not salty, it was meaty, and the taste was just right.

"Well, it's delicious, with the aroma of barbecue." Ron is an unscrupulous foodie who is willing to taste food from all over the world, Chinese food, bacon is a delicacy that he likes.

"Not bad. Roasting it properly can enhance its aroma, but to master it, it is necessary to retain a certain amount of moisture...... The baked bacon still has to be dried. By the way, don't put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, refrigerated bacon is not delicious. ”

"I have thirty kilos of bacon. I heard that eating bacon often is not good for your health......" Ron spread his hands and said, "What is the best way to bake bacon." ”

"When you pinch it with your hand, you can feel the elasticity of the relaxation best. Cured, smoked, and dried bacon can be stored for a long time, a year, or even two years. Ye Mu took out the cigar in his pocket, threw one over, and said, "You should know that our China became rich only after reform and opening up. When I was younger, my family was poor. To kill a pig, the family will eat it for a year or two. I even had bacon for three years...... By the way, with proper preservation methods, bacon will not only not deteriorate, but will enhance the taste of bacon. ”

Ye Mu took down the bacon that was almost baked.

The main thing is the meat on the small wild boar, which is relatively tender, and the baking time is a little longer. Next came the meat from the boar and four large hams, which took a lot of time.

Chatting with Ron, he is very interested in Chinese food culture. Ye Mu wanted to know about his experience of serving in Afghanistan. Ron tells him that his time in Afghanistan may be the biggest demon of his life, and apart from a few psychopaths, the most important thing every Afghan soldier wants is to leave early. Ron also talked a little bit about American politics, and in his words, damn politicians should be sent to Afghanistan.

The two chatted happily, and even for lunch, they would roast meat on the fire.

"By the way, do you know Thomson or Roosevelt? They are friends I know, who also served in Afghanistan, are ground troops. ”

"Thomson and Roosevelt? They are observers and snipers......"

"Huh? You know! ”

Ron slapped his thigh and said, "I know you so well." Roosevelt, in particular, the bastard said that when I retired, he would treat me to Montana's signature roast whole beef. He said, the adult Angus cattle were roasted and buttered all over the place......"

"Roasted whole beef?" Ye Mu was too shocked, he was still an adult Angus cow, and this was too exaggerated. Fortunately, Ye Mu didn't drink, or he would have sprayed on the spot.

"You have that bastard's phone?"

"Yes, yes. I'll give you ...... right away" Ye Muhan smiled and took out his mobile phone.
