Chapter 50: Bacon

Feng Diehua was obviously the purpose of taking advantage, but she just said it to be generous, Chi Lingmiao listened to it, her heart was tired for a while, and she couldn't help but go out to say hello, "The third brother and sister really love the child, hey, pity a few of us, the second brother and the second brother and sister went, without the love of our father, we can only rely on us to take care of the eldest aunt and aunt." ”

"Third brother and sister, you want to buy rabbits, so that these children don't have to run to the town." Qi Jiuli looked at Feng Diehua and said with a smile, "Although they are relatives, but it is not easy for them in Jiuli, how can you take care of yourself as an aunt, the hare in the town is twenty wen a catty, how can you add one or two wen a catty." ”

"I see how this rabbit has to have more than seven pounds, count eight pounds, oh, and that gray leather, it's really good, it's not like hunting, making traps like putting sharp objects to pierce the hole is not very valuable, this skin can't be more complete, the three brothers and sisters are looking for someone to nitrate the skin, put it away, next time make a pair, can make a pair of leather boots for the child."

"By the way, I remember that the price of the skins in the town is close to 100 Wen, the third brother and sister, you can politely give a 100 Wen, by the way, how much is it in total......" Chi Lingmiao snapped his fingers, pretending to be arithmetic.

Feng Diehua didn't expect Chi Lingmiao to be there, and she could only rest her mind when she blocked it, "Hehe, sister-in-law, look at what you said, the hare is a good thing, you should keep it and sell it to the town in Jiuli, where can you afford to eat such a precious thing, just have a bite of pickles." ”

"Sister-in-law, you are busy in Jiuli, I also went to work in the field, they are in charge of the house today, I will let them go to your house to turn the ground." Feng Diehua ran away non-stop.

"It's really ......" Chi Lingmiao was angry and funny, "Jiuli, your aunt just likes to take advantage of some small advantages, and her foundation is not bad, don't take it to heart." ”

"Yes." Qi Jiuli nodded, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi pouted and didn't say anything, they had already seen through it, although it was not enough to compare, it was still slightly more than enough.

"Okay, I'll go back, you must not go up the mountain to chop firewood by yourself anymore, you want pine branches, wait, let your lobby brother bring it to you in the afternoon." After Chi Lingmiao finished speaking, he walked away, walked halfway and turned around and shouted a warning, "Remember, let your brother teach you again at night." ”

Qi Jiuli smiled, this heart-warming care is really addictive after experiencing it.

"Sister, isn't it good that we caught a rabbit?" Qi Shixiang said with some concern.

"Now the result is good, but we are too high, fortunately we didn't encounter accidents, otherwise there is no regret medicine in the world." Qi Jiuli said.

"What is the regret pill?" Qi Shiyi said curiously.

"It's that we have to think carefully before doing things, otherwise we may regret it later, and when it happens, regret is useless." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

"I was wrong about this today, I didn't think it through, I will take the initiative to admit my mistake when my brother comes back, okay, now go to the field to pull weeds, and when the pine branches are delivered, we will smoke bacon again."

"The eldest sister is right, the eldest sister doesn't remember, we forgot to remind the eldest sister." Qi Shiyi frowned and said, "And the eldest sister also caught a rabbit, so she can withstand it." ”

Qi Shixiang nodded in agreement, "Eleven is right, brother come back, we admit our mistakes." ”

Qi Jiuli's heart was warm, and he rubbed the top of the two of their hair and said, "Okay, then all three of us admit our mistakes." ”

Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi nodded when they heard this.

When they arrived in the field, Qi Shan led Qi Yifei and Qi Sansheng to turn the ground for Qi Jiuli's house, and Chi Lingmiao led the two daughters-in-law to pull weeds.

"Jiuli, Brother Lobby will go and cut pine branches for you now." Qi Yifei saw Qi Jiuli coming and asked in a low voice, "How big does it be, is it the size of charcoal?" ”

"No, as long as it's a pine tree, I'm going to use it to burn it and make bacon." Qi Jiuli said.

"Bacon?" Chi Lingmiao was a little curious, "Can the meat still be smoked?" If you smoke it, it will burn directly. ”

"With the freshly cut pine branches, they can't burn, they just smoke." Qi Jiuli explained, "I haven't done it either, I just don't know when I've heard someone talk about it, I remember in my mind that there is no need to use soy sauce, just smear the salt, and the eldest aunt is interested in coming together in the afternoon." ”

"Okay." Chi Lingmiao's eyes lit up, if bacon can be made with only salt, it is much more affordable than bacon.

"When it's done, I will taste it, and I will be able to do it next time." Qi Jiuli said.

"That's a good feeling." Chi Lingmiao pulled the weeds more vigorously.

"I'll go now." Qi Yifei was also interested in bacon, so he took the machete he brought before and went directly up the mountain.

Half an hour later, Qi Yifei came back with a large bundle of firewood, still carrying a pheasant in his hand, "I'm lucky today, I met a stupid chicken, mother, stew potatoes at night." ”

Qi Yifei threw the machete out, and just happened to hit the pheasant, and the colorful pheasant in his hand was really bleeding.

"Went to deal with it, stewed at night." Chi Lingmiao said, "Jiuli, let's go back too." ”

When Qi Jiuli got home, he cut the five-pound pork belly in the middle, cut it in half, cut it into four small strips, smeared salt on the surface, and rubbed it repeatedly to let the salt melt and seep into the meat.

After letting the meat marinate for a while, Qi Jiuli went to the backyard to find an open place that was not easy to blow to the wind, and built a simple shelf with pine branches, and the long branches were piled up into a square long shelf like a small bonfire.

"Hey, it's pretty good." Chi Lingmiao saw it and said, and also saw the order of Qi Jiuli's stacking, and helped to build it together.

Qi Jiuli peeled the skin of a moderately thick pine branch with a machete, washed it with water, and then went to the kitchen, pierced one end of the meat strip with a knife, and then put four pieces of meat into the branch, carried it to the backyard, and put it on a firmly erected pine shelf.

Qi Jiuli took out the flint, lit the straw that ignited the fire, put a lot of it, and then added pine branches to the li, because the pine branches were wet, and they began to smoke after burning for a long time, and there were more pine branches that were ignited, and the pine branches that were built also began to smoke from the bottom, and after a while, the backyard was full of smoke.

"Ahem-" Chi Lingmiao was so smoked that she was crying and coughing, Qi Jiuli was the same, the two were a little farther away, Chi Lingmiao didn't worry about meat, so she went to see it after a while.

"Can this be done?" Chi Lingmiao saw that there was something magical, there was only smoke in the pile of pine branches, and there was no spark, and the meat could be dried?

Chi Lingmiao will make bacon every year, but it takes a lot of effort to dry it, and it will be taken to the eaves every day to hang and dry, and it will take many days to make it.

"Look, it's okay, but I remember smoking it for a few days." Qi Jiuli said, "If you smoke it for a long time, the taste will be more fragrant." ”
