Chapter 079: Cured bacon
"Congratulations to the host for improving and getting a chance to draw a lottery. 35xsā
Qin Fei was now at the seventh order of the Force Realm, feeling the surging power in his body, he was confident that he would face those two old women again, and he would not hit the ground with his face first when he was beaten away.
Having said that, he is a snack bar owner in a small county, why can he always meet particularly powerful people, can't he be like in the routine, every time he rises to the door, there are almost some fools who come to the door and be slapped in the face?
Qin Fei didn't have much joy, he just ordered, "Let's start the lottery." ā
"Ding Dong, the lottery was successful, congratulations to the host, get a ton of iodized salt. ā
Qin Fei was drinking wolfberry soaked water and almost choked to death.
Shouldn't a normal upgrade lottery be a recipe? What is a ton of salt?
Qin Fei protested to the system: "Did you grab the salt in 2012 and didn't finish it, so you wanted to use it to perfunctory me?"
"To be exact, it was snapped up in 2011. The system replied.
The system admitted it so simply, Qin Fei didn't know what to say, looking at the edible iodized salt piled up on the ground, he couldn't eat it as a meal.
In these years, it is not allowed to sell salt without permission, and it is easy to get damp if it is not well preserved.
Qin Fei slapped his head, just use it to make bacon.
Many young people may not like to eat bacon, and even think that bacon is unhealthy.
In fact, the production of bacon is a great initiative of the ancestors. Flash Dance
In an era of low productivity, food was very difficult to preserve, and our ancestors pioneered the use of salt to marinate meat and eat it all year round.
I remember when I was a child, every time I killed pigs during the New Year, I left the part needed for the feast, and the rest was salted up, and the family gathered together, talking and laughing, showing the atmosphere of the festival.
With the progress of society, although fresh meat can be eaten at any time, there are still many people who like to eat bacon, because its unique flavor is a reason, and more importantly, it is the taste of home in the memory of many people.
In China, bacon is also divided into many genres, cloud leg is one of the best, its shape is like a pipa, the meat is more and less bone, the fat is moderate, the lean meat is bright red or rose, the fat is milky white, the bones are slightly peach, and the blood is still moisturizing. (Note: Cloud leg is another name for Xuanwei ham)
What Qin Fei was going to do was this cloud leg.
When learning to make cross-bridge rice noodles, Qin Fei would marinate cloud legs, and the soup was authentic with cloud legs, before Qin Fei was lazy and replaced with ordinary bacon.
Qin Fei returned to the vegetable market and found the familiar Zhang butcher to buy pork, this butcher was to supply the pig to the snack bar, and when he saw Qin Fei, he hurriedly greeted, "Boss Qin, the pig will be sent to you in a while, why not go to it in person?"
"I'll buy some pork. Qin Fei looked at the meat stall, the good pork leg was sliced into several sections by Zhang Butcher, although it can still be made into cloud legs, but the quality will be reduced. 35xs
At this time, Zhang Butcher was unraveling half of the pork, and Qin Fei hurriedly shouted, "Don't move, put the knife down." ā
Zhang Butcher was confused: "What's wrong?"
"I bought all this half of the pork, and I'll solve it myself. Qin Fei said.
When Zhang Butcher heard it, it was a big order, and said happily, "Boss Lao Qin will do it, how do you say it, I'll help you." ā
But Qin Fei refused to let him live, snatched the bone chopping knife in Zhang's butcher's hand, and did it himself.
Zhang Butcher looked a little unhappy, what's the matter, don't you still believe in my skills? Although Qin Fei is a chef and should be good at knife skills, this reconciliation pork is two different things.
Only by being familiar with the bones, textures, and old tendons of pigs can they be solved, and laymen may not be able to touch the door after working for a long time.
However, before Zhang Butcher could finish his thoughts, Qin Fei cut off a pig's hind leg, and he didn't even use cutting skills, just lightly slashed along the texture of the flesh and bones, and then opened it down.
If this is the case, forget it, the key is that the hind legs of the pig are fat and thin, and the shape is very good, like a pipa.
Immediately, Qin Fei's knife was like electricity, and it didn't take a moment to perfectly decompose half of the pork into pork belly, large chops, small chops, etc., Zhang Butcher secretly said, if he can cut it so beautifully, I'm afraid the pork will sell better, right?
"Boss Qin, did you also kill pigs before?" asked the butcher Zhang.
Qin Fei packed the pork on the scales and replied, "The pig has not been killed, but the bamboo rat has been killed, almost it." ā
Zhang Butcher secretly remembered it in his heart, and he also went to catch two bamboo rats to practice knife skills another day.
......
Qin Fei brought the pork back and began to make bacon.
First, the pork leg is washed of blood, repaired, and then salted, and a handful of salt is grabbed in the hand, and it is constantly coiled to make the pig skin moist.
Then stack and turn over for a period of time, that is, the cured bacon is stacked together, squeezed out the excess water, and turned over every once in a while.
In principle, this process takes half a month, and Qin Fei entrusted it to the system, and it was completed in less than half an hour.
After stacking and pressing, the muscle surface and bone seams turn from bright red to slab-colored, and the blood is drained, which can be washed and dried.
Finally, hang it indoors and wait for it to ferment slowly.
The reason why cloud legs are called cloud legs is actually mainly related to the local climate, and in other environments, the taste of fermented cloud legs will be a little different.
Qin Fei used the system to simulate the right environment, but he didn't have to worry about the flavor.
This fermentation process is as short as one and a half years, and as long as three or five years, the longer the year, the better the taste, even if Qin Fei entrusts it to the system to accelerate, it will not be able to eat it for a while.
Qin Fei marinated the other meats in an ordinary way, not as complicated as cloud legs, smeared with salt, hung in the kitchen at will, smoked and roasted, and after a long time, it will become a delicious farmhouse bacon.
After all this work, lunch arrives and diners begin to call out.
"Boss Qin, I didn't eat the rice noodles you made in the morning, and I didn't have the strength to work. Qin Fei opened the door, and the diners complained while helping to lift the table and the bench, "A bowl of family portrait rice noodles." ā
"I'm going to cross the bridge rice noodles. ā
"Boss Qin, can the hot pot strings be neat?"
Qin Fei smiled and began to make food, and a hungry man was lying on the kitchen vent, pulling his throat, "Boss Qin, add more meat, add more, add it fiercely!"
Qin Fei glanced at him, "Did you get an extra pig?"
The hungry man is also thick-skinned, "If you dare to add it, I dare to ask for it." ā
Diners at noon rarely drink alcohol, after all, they have to work in the afternoon, but one of the noodle diners drank a lot of beer, and after a while, he began to cry.
Qin Fei frowned, "This guest, what's wrong with you?"
"Boss, why do you think a man can't control his lower body when he drinks a little wine?" asked the diner.
Another man with a story, Qin Fei thought for a moment and said comfortingly, "Man, it's understandable." ā
The diner nodded and stood up, "Thank you boss for your understanding, can you lend me a pair of pants?"
Only then did the diners who shared the table find that there was a big puddle of water on the ground, and they were lying down and avoiding the distance.
