Chapter 121: Fir Tree Hair
When it comes to smoked bacon, it's actually very particular.
When Yu Shu told Shen and Meng to hang the bacon on the stove to smoke, Shen wanted to hang the pork more than once and burn the fire to smoke it for Yu Shu.
"Mother, don't burn it indiscriminately, firewood is not used correctly, and the taste of smoked meat is different."
Although a long time has passed, Yu Shu still can't forget the first time her family had the conditions to make bacon in her previous life, when her mother smoked bacon with the waste wood that was demolished from the old house.
After smoking, the bacon is not only not fragrant, but also tastes very poor, and it is very unpalatable.
"And so much more? What do you want to use, we don't have it at home, but there are many in the mountains. What do you say, I'll let your dad go to the mountains and get it back! ”
Yu Shu shook his head, "I don't know what to use, so I'll go into the mountain and take a look myself." ”
So saying, he found the sickle on his back and went out.
Meng wanted to help, but Yu Shu didn't let her, and asked her to stay at home to help Shen boil the fat into oil.
Yu Chong and Yu Changming went to the town together to do odd jobs. Yu Chong went alone, his temperament was very lazy, Yu Changming went mainly to watch him, so as to save him from coming back, the two of them quarreled.
To say that this smoked bacon, the best thing is the cypress branch, the smoked bacon is fragrant, the taste is good, even if there are no condiments, do not stir-fry or boil, do not stew, only cut into slices and put them in the pot to steam, after coming out, the fat is crystal clear, the color of the lean meat is ruddy, mixed together and eaten into the mouth, the fat squeezed out of the fat just makes the lean meat not chew and does not look dry and woody, especially strong and delicious.
Coupled with the layer of pork skin that tastes crunchy after being smoked, the aroma is doubly compelling when chewed.
Well......
Just thinking about the appearance of the bacon on the plate, Yu Shu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
However, she had been up the mountain twice, but she had never seen the shadow of a cypress tree, so she said that she wanted to come out by herself, just to go a little further and find out if there was a cypress tree at the bottom, or if there were other better branches that could replace it.
These are things that you can't make clear to them without going out.
Yu Shu walked along the ditch on the mountainside with the basket on her back for about half an hour, but she still didn't see the shadow of the cypress tree, so she had to retreat and turn around to pull the fir.
There are no cypress trees in this mountain, but there are a lot of fir trees, looking at the fir-tree forests, Yu Shu couldn't help but sigh secretly while cutting the fir-tree hairs in the low place with a sickle.
"It's a pity that it's winter, if it's two or three months earlier, I'm afraid I can still pick up some fir mushrooms and eat them."
There are so many pork, there are a lot of fir tree hairs to use, and it took so far to find such a large piece, Yu Shu wants to get more back, at least tonight's one should be enough.
With this thought, her attention was focused on cutting the branches, and she forgot to pay attention to what was under her feet.
Although in winter, the leaves of the fir tree do not all fall off, but as the old and the new change, many of the fir's hairs fall to the ground and are spread like a carpet.
Yu Shu hadn't been in the mountains for a long time, and he had done similar work, and he had forgotten that the fir tree was thick and slippery.
The flat ground is better, but if there is a certain slope, it is very easy to fall.
No, she was looking at a tree, and there was a thick branch, all cut off, and her basket would be almost full.
She curled her lips and smiled, and hurriedly walked over to that side, the scythe had just been raised, and who knew that her feet suddenly slipped......
