Chapter 51: Bacon

When I returned to the Ranran tribe, it was not dark yet, so I just took the time to process the fish, that is, to remove the scales, gills and internal organs, and then smeared with salt and salted, and it could be taken out to dry in about three days, without smoking.

Of course, it is only to deal with relatively large fish, and the rest of the small fish will be eaten in the past one or two days, and the chaotic tribe can't finish eating, isn't there still a rock tribe.

The scales are also deducted from the nails, and they can also be scraped with bamboo chips, which is very fast, but there are too many fish.

There is no excess fat to fry the fish at dinner, but you can grill it and eat it, or you can boil the fish soup, which has high nutritional value, and you don't have to worry about eating fish bones, and the meat is all boiled and melted into the soup. There is a saying that the meat tube is three days and the soup tube is seven days, and it is easier to hang your life by drinking soup.

Su Yang drank to his heart's content, and after teaching everyone how to pickle fish, he went to sleep first.

When he woke up the next day, it felt a little colder again, and his leopard skin still needed to be dried before he could wear it, and now he had to make do with it. And the leather that he got back from the ruins last time, he didn't even drop half of it, so he could only find a way to save himself.

There was still some leopard meat left, so he packed it and took it away, and the merchant girl followed him to the Rock Tribe. She didn't go before, because she thought that sooner or later she would return to Jiuli, but now that she is in alliance with the rocks, she does not have to vote for other tribes, she belongs to the kind of people who have strong ideas.

The day after tomorrow, I should set off to catch up with the ruins, and time flies really fast.

Back at the Rock Tribe, the elders held a ritual again, and there were fish every year. And Su Yang hurriedly went to check the marinated meat, the first batch was almost two hundred catties, and after taking the meat out of the clay pot, there was a little blood water in it, mixed with salt.

Because he wanted to wash the meat, he simply mixed the water of the meat washing with the blood water and boiled it again, and he could get a lot of salt, so he didn't eat it himself, and it was completely feasible to take it out and exchange it for other tribes at a discount.

The washed meat is all hung up and left to dry for a day before it can be smoked.

"Merchant girl, do you understand?" He asked, because when the merchant girl returned to the Chaos Tribe, bacon would also be marinated there.

The merchant girl nodded, she had salted the fish last night, and she had also washed the meat today, and the steps had already been understood.

Then he took the merchant girl to visit the tribe, and even the pottery was not shy about it, if no one explained, it was difficult to copy it just by looking. Because people nowadays don't have so much knowledge accumulation, and they don't have much insight, it is impossible to see it at a glance.

There is also the matter of pottery burning that has been handed over to the Rong family, Su Yang does not need to be personally present to command, and he does not need to take care of the entire pottery making process. Rabbits are also raised, and there is a special team for boiling salt, and he is basically in a state of idleness.

However, bacon is a technical job, and it is estimated that he will have to teach many times before he can be a shopkeeper.

The next day, the warriors went out hunting again, and this time, half of the warriors would go with him to the ruins, and the other half would stay in the tribe, even if it was resting. So in addition to Prabhu, he would take a few warriors who had stayed in the tribe before out.

Today, he is not out of the tribe, he is specifically building a bacon shelf, and he will definitely smoke meat many times in the future, so he will simply get it at one time, which is simple and trouble-free.

The shelf of bacon is actually very simple, there is a meter high, there must be support on both sides, bamboo sticks and wooden sticks can be used in the middle, and the area of almost a dining table can be smoked two hundred catties of meat at one time.

In addition to this shelf, it is the firewood for preparing the smoked meat, which is the key, and the taste of the meat is very different depending on the materials, and the harmful substances contained in it are also very different. He has been paying attention to this matter for a long time, and he has already chosen it, and today he just brought someone to collect it, and by the way, let his two aunts learn how to smoke meat.

When everything was ready, he looked at the sky, and then at the dried meat, and simply smoked it. It's not much, smoke a hundred catties first, and let the two aunts smoke the remaining half in two days. Anyway, they have to eat meat, even if they don't smoke well, just eat it first, there are so many people in the tribe, except for Su Yang himself, the rest of the people are not picky eaters.

If you have a tin bucket or something, it will be more convenient to smoke meat, and now you can use this humble rack as well.

In fact, Su Yang himself is also smoking meat for the first time, but he has rich theoretical knowledge, so he shouldn't be able to make mistakes.

"Ignition!" He waved his hand, then moved out of the way, and one of the elders came forward to pray, and then drilled wood himself to make a fire.

Primitive people were actually afraid of fire, and also believed that fire was a sacred thing, and fire could not only warm and roast meat, but also drive away wild beasts.

The marinated meat is already stacked on the shelf, and there must be a little gap between the meat, otherwise the smoke will not rise and the upper part of the meat will not be smoked. At the same time, in order to keep the smoke for a while longer, the meat is covered with large freshly picked leaves.

If the bacon wants to taste good, it must be smoked for four or five hours, and it is almost a moment inseparable from human care, because the smoke cannot be broken, no one takes care of it, and the firewood will easily burn, and then the meat will become charcoal.

At this time, after the fire was ignited, Su Yang hurriedly grabbed a branch that was cut back in the morning, a bit similar to a cedar tree, which is evergreen in all seasons, as long as this branch is burned by the fire, a large amount of smoke will come out immediately, and at the same time, this smoke has no strange smell. If you change the pine tree or something, it will not work, the smell of the branches is too strong, as long as you smoke the meat, it will become a pine nut flavor, which seriously destroys the original aroma of the meat.

In fact, it is best to use cypress for smoke, the smoke is greater, there are relatively few harmful substances in it, and the smell is also very good, with a faint fragrance. However, he didn't find this kind of tree for the time being, but the cedar tree or something is also a close relative of the cypress, and the effect is not much different.

Weeds are going to be used for the rest, and a lot of weeds, fresh or dried, are immediately smoke when thrown into the fire, just be careful to extinguish the open fire at any time.

It can be said that bacon is a process of repeatedly igniting and extinguishing fires.

In fact, after the meat is salted, it is okay not to smoke, but the taste will be much worse, and it will become moldy after not being stored for a long time. And smoked meat, if there is also mold, as long as you wash it with hot water and dry it, you can't see it at all, and you can't eat the moldy taste on the taste.

"Su Yang, it's on fire." The merchant girl shouted.

Isn't it, as soon as he gets distracted, the fire rises. Hurriedly beckoned everyone to extinguish the fire with fresh branches, and at the same time he turned the meat on it. To achieve the best taste, it is best to smoke the meat to the point where the oil is about to drip out, which is very difficult to control, unless you smoke it many times before you can find a trick.

The color of the meat should be smoked beautifully, a little yellow and bright, and the braised meat looks similar, which is smoked with wood powder and peanut shells, which is not allowed by the current conditions.

When it was almost dark, the hundred catties of meat on the shelf finally reached the ideal level, and the reason why it took so long was to smoke it to the extent of transcendence for the first time and continue to enhance his prestige in the tribe.

"Okay, wash the two pieces of meat and cook them in a clay pot." Su Yang swallowed his saliva, in this period without seasoning, bacon can already be considered delicious, and he is ready to overeat tonight!

PS: It's a bit of a carvin, I met the legendary rookie wall, I heard that it would be good to wait a few days. Ask for a collection, wonderful in the back!
