Chapter 079: Sausage, Bacon, Ham

After Mu Tong learned the method by herself, she carefully collected a lot of the ingredients and seeds that could be found in the tribe, and the medicinal materials found in the forest were also collected by her. Can she say that after finding a thousand-year-old ginseng the size of hundreds of thighs, she found a lot of cordyceps sinensis and cicada flowers?

Cordyceps sinensis and cicada flowers are both tonics, but one is warm and the other is cold, and the suitable people are basically the same. Due to the different medicinal properties, there is a saying that Cordyceps is used for body cold, and cicada flowers are used for body heat.

This otherworldly cordyceps sinensis and cicada flowers, Mu Tong was afraid that the medicinal properties were different, so he specially asked Xiaoqiang to test it. Unexpectedly, in addition to being big, the medicinal properties of these two medicinal materials are only good or bad.

In fact, in addition to these precious Chinese medicinal materials, Mu Tong also found many other medicinal materials. Regardless of whether it is expensive or cheap, as long as it can cure diseases, Mu Tong put it away and made it into various Chinese medicine pills.

The usage and production of these medicinal herbs and pills, Mu Tong did not hide anything at all, and taught them all to the two masters and apprentices of Houyi. For Mu Tong, the production of these ordinary medicines is really not a big deal, and she does not have the hobby and time to treat everyone. Therefore, it is the best choice to teach those two masters and disciples to serve all the fallen people.

In the yard of Mu Tong's house, the flower pots dug out of stones are not only planted with medicinal herbs, but also planted a lot of flowers and plants that can repel mosquitoes.

Living in the valley of the mountains, the air is fresh enough, but there are too many mosquitoes. It is necessary to plant flowers and plants in your yard that can repel mosquitoes. Of course, there are also antidotes to treat the bite of various poisonous snakes and insects, and drugs to stop bleeding, etc., which are also indispensable.

Because all kinds of seeds that were collected before, including the seeds of medicinal herbs, were in the sealed storage space. Therefore, Mu Tong also collected a lot of various medicinal herb seeds found in the twilight forest. Now that she has the new Chunhua Autumn Technique, she no longer has to worry about making various potions without medicinal materials.

Autumn arrived, and Mu Tong began to prepare to make sausages, bacon and ham.

There are many types of meat that can be used to make sausages, such as wild boar, pheasant, beef, horses, and animal meat. No matter what kind of meat, it must be accompanied by an appropriate amount of fat, otherwise the sausage will be too hard after drying and affect the taste.

Mu Tong taught everyone to make Sichuan-style spicy sausages and Cantonese-style sweet sausages.

The preparation of sausages is not complicated, the meat is cut, put an appropriate amount of salt, chili noodles, peppercorns, liquor, sugar and other seasonings, and marinate for a while. The meat is then poured into the washed animal's small intestine and tied with a thread. After the filling is completed, the intestines are pierced (deflated) with a needle, and finally the filled sausages are tied with a rope to their favorite length, hung up, and placed in a windy place to blow for five or six days before eating.

The production of Cantonese sausages is the same except for the different seasonings.

In addition, it is the production of bacon. Including preserved chicken, preserved rabbit, preserved fish or something, the production method is almost the same.

Meat cut strips, chicken and rabbit or something is not needed, the pepper and salt that have been fried and scalded until warm are kneaded, and then put into the porcelain basin, the skin is down, the meat is up, layer by layer, and the top layer is pressed with a heavy object. Flip over once every 2 days, after 10 days of pickling, change to turn over once a day, marinate for another 4 to 5 days, take it out, put it on with a rope, and hang it in a ventilated place to dry until it is semi-dry.

Then comes the smoking. Smoke with a fragrant branch (such as a cypress branch, or add orange peel to the firewood) over low heat, so that after the smoked bacon is steamed, it is mellow and fragrant, fat but not greasy, thin but not stiff, and has an endless aftertaste.

Another is the making of ham. Take the hind legs of the animals with thick flesh and thin meat, rub them vigorously with salt repeatedly to make them penetrate into the meat, and then marinate them to let them ferment naturally, and it will take half a year to mature. The best time to make ham is before the frost falls to the beginning of spring the following year. Of course, this otherworldly solar term is different from that of Earth, so it can be made when the ambient temperature is about the same.

Sausages, ham and bacon were loved by the tribe as soon as they were popularized in the tribe. No matter which one it is, the people of these primitive tribes are full of praise, and they sigh that it is worthy of the food method brought by the gods, which makes Dorjee have a lot of bragging capital among his friends.

Mu Tong didn't have time to pay attention to the praise of the clansmen, and after teaching everyone how to make pickled food, she was busy going to the twilight forest to find materials to make storage bags.

That's right, it's about making storage bags.

In fact, there are not many materials to make storage bags, and it is not difficult to find. Of course, it is not easy to find on Earth. However, Mu Tong actually found materials that could make storage bags in the twilight forest.

To put it bluntly, the person who found it was still Xiaoqiang. If there is nothing to do, especially at night, Mu Tong will let Xiaoqiang out, firstly to warn the safety of the tribe, and secondly, to find various materials.

One of the materials needed for the storage bag was found in the twilight forest.

It is said that Mu Tong has enough storage equipment: four storage earrings, a storage ring, and a storage bracelet with nine separate spaces. Each has a volume of 1,000 cubic meters, and the total storage volume is tens of thousands of cubic meters.

The reason why he wanted to refine the storage bag so much was mainly because after Mu Tong learned the basic method of space magic, he opened up a carry-on storage space of about ten cubic meters. Space mages have storage space to carry around, and that's no secret in the wizarding world.

Ten cubic meters of storage space naturally could not make Mu Tong so happy. She was happy that this storage space, like the separate storage space she had sealed, could fit into storage gear.

In other words, the storage bag she refined, after it was filled with things, could be stored in this carry-on storage space. This means that even though the carry-on storage space is only 10 cubic meters, it can hold an infinite number of items that are larger than 10 cubic meters - just put them in the storage gear and put them in the storage space.

And in Mu Tong's ring, there happened to be a high-grade demon beast skin for making storage bags, which was given to her by the fat sister-in-law as a compensation price. Of course, Mu Tong didn't understand why the fat sister-in-law gave her so many high-grade demon beast skins, but after thinking about it, she understood. It's just that she still doesn't understand why the fat sister-in-law is so scheming to get her here.

If you don't understand it, Mu Tong can be regarded as a desperate rebirth: not only did he regain a good relationship with Shen Kai, but he also found another way to cultivate magic and returned to the road of pursuing the Great Dao. Mu Tong was even secretly happy in her heart, looking at the test results of the crystal ball that day, her magical cultivation talent was only afraid that it was stronger than the five spirit roots of cultivation. In other words, she has the potential to break through the magician and advance to the Great Magician (equivalent to the Jindan stage).

Let's go back to refining storage bags. To refine the storage bag, in addition to the need for high-grade animal skins, it also needs sticky silk threads, and in addition, it is to condense the space circle on the finished storage bag.

The sticky silk thread, found in this twilight forest, is a kind of silk spit out by flower spiders. Mu Tong didn't understand either, why it wasn't the silk spit out by the spiritual object, but it would have a trace of aura?
