The next day, Mu Yuan sent Jiang Qi back to the academy, and the academy was about to be on vacation, and it would be time for the New Year in a few days.

Mu Yuan got up early in the morning to prepare the things for the New Year, there were a lot of things in the space, and she took out the meat to make bacon.

Remove the fur of the pork belly with skin, wash and control the water, cut it into a general thickness, put it in a basin, slowly chop the star anise and peppercorns with a knife or break it with a crusher, cut the ginger into minced pieces, add various marinating accessories to the meat and rub it well by hand, seal the basin, put it in a cool place to air dry, add a small handful of millet and a little sugar to the iron pot after air drying, evenly spread the dried orange peel on it, put it on the stainless steel grate, and put the air-dried meat.

Cover the pot and turn on the slight heat to start smoking, about 1 hour or so, during which open the lid every 20 minutes to observe, avoid smoking, if the fire is small, then turn on the highest. Smoke until the skin is red and shiny.

She made a lot, the pork in the space was bought in the supermarket, and many of the pigs she raised should also be killed, but she won't kill herself.

She took a piece of the finished bacon and sent it to Lao Chen.

The place where Lao Chen lives is a small alley, a small courtyard one by one.

Lao Chen originally had a daughter-in-law and children, and in the early years, his daughter-in-law ran away with the same person and took away her own children, so he never married, and they mixed with each other every day, anyway, now one person eats and the whole family is not hungry.

This house was a house he sold and bought a small house, just a room, a kitchen and a small yard.

There was nothing planted in the small yard, and the withered grass was wanton.

"Boss, why are you here?"

"I'm not here to see you." Mu Yuan followed Lao Chen into the courtyard.

"I'm a big old man, and I don't usually have anyone at home, so I don't have any good tea, so I'm going to buy some tea, boss, you wait for me." Lao Chen scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"No need, don't be busy, I'm not here for tea." Mu Yuan pointed to the bacon in the basket and lifted the cloth on it, "This is bacon." ”

"What is bacon?"

"A kind of marinated meat will be the specialty of our restaurant in the future."

"I need you to sell this."

"Since it's a specialty of our restaurant, why do we sell it?"

"I naturally have my reasons, you can just sell it."

"Okay, don't worry, boss, since it's meat, it's easy to sell."

"I'll give you 100 catties, and the family is limited to 2 catties." Mu Yuan was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he explained: "The purchase restriction means that each family can only buy more than two catties and don't sell it." ”

"That's how they can be few."

"Yes. I have a lot of pigs here, you help me find a pig to kill, and in ten days I will have people put the live pigs and bacon in the open space where you kidnapped me before, and you can bring people. ”

"Okay, boss."

Lao Chen wanted to refute the last few words Mu Yuan said but couldn't find an excuse, although he really kidnapped her, but he didn't know that he would become his top boss in the future, and he wanted to cry without tears.

Mu Yuan left after explaining to Lao Chen, since he said that the delivery time was good, he had to go home to prepare the goods, and the bacon was too time-consuming to make.

Mu Yuan smoked it alone at home for several days before it was smoked, sorted out the bacon and put it in the space, said hello to Chen Yuniang and went to the open space alone.

She searched around the clearing and didn't see half a person or animal, and it was good that she arrived first.

Mu Yuan put the bacon in the space first, and then it was the pig, it was not easy for the live pig to resist it, and she was not strong, she asked Lao Chen to enclose a fence here in advance, and she stood directly in the fence, silently releasing the pig in her heart.

A total of ten pigs were released, each of which was fat.

Lao Chen: When they came, Mu Yuan had already gotten all the pigs out.

"Boss, this pig is so fat, I'm drooling." Lezi imagines that the pork becomes braised pork, and the feeling of a mouthful full of oil is really beautiful.

"Look at how you haven't seen the world." Lao Chen patted Lezi's head and then walked towards Mu Yuan.

"Boss, the pig killers have all brought."

"That's okay, a hundred catties of bacon is here, don't sell the bacon all at once, it's best to sell ten catties at a time, I only give you so much bacon, if you live pigs, I will let people get ten days every three days, everyone has been hungry for so long, and now don't sell it too expensive."

Bacon is fifty wen a catty, pork fifteen wen a catty, and the other pigs are up to you, this is the price I set, you add a little bit of the price, don't be too high, and the price will be shared by yourself. ”

"Thank you boss"

Lao Chen thought that ten taels of silver a month was already a lot, but he didn't expect that there would be additional income, which made Lao Chen and Lezi full of energy.

Even Lao Chen, who killed the pig, may promise to give him a little money, Lao Chen gave him a piece of silver before, and the family heard that a few pigs have one or two silver, and they were all happy, but they didn't expect to get the money this time.

Mu Yuan explained clearly and left, she was not interested in watching people kill pigs, not to mention that this pig was still raised by herself, so she looked a little unbearable.

Pork asked Lao Chen to sell it, although Mu Yuan was not worried about them, but she still wanted to see if there was a market for bacon, she didn't have to worry about pork, not to mention that there were many people in the village and even in the town who hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

So there is no need to worry about this meat, but no one has eaten this bacon in this era, and I don't know if anyone has bought it.

They went to sell pigs and told her that at the entrance of the market, there were many people who were noisy and shouting before Mu Yuan entered the market.

Mu Yuan looked at so many people on the periphery, and was a little worried that something should have happened, Mu Yuan squeezed through the crowd and squeezed next to the fun.

Lao Chen is explaining what to people.

"What's going on?"

"Boss, you're here." Lezi was smiling, and the folds on his face were almost able to clip things.

"Well, what's going on, why are there so many people?"

"It's not like we bought meat here, this live pork is cheap, and everyone is afraid that they won't be able to buy it." Fun collects money while explaining.

"It's not okay, it's too messy, let them line up." Mu Yuan looked at the chaotic crowd and couldn't even hear the voice clearly.

"But they won't listen."

"Calm me down." Mu Yuan took the knife in the pig killer's hand and knocked it on the cutting board.

People stopped when they heard the sound, and even Lao Chen didn't notice that Mu Yuan was coming.

"You guys are lined up, there are a lot of people for meat, and everyone can buy what you need."

"How can you prove that what you little girl says is true?" An old woman said.

"If you don't want to queue up, you won't sell it, and if you want to cut the queue, you won't sell it, if you don't sell it until tomorrow, this year will definitely let everyone have a good year, if you are worried about not being able to buy it, then I will put the words here, there is a lot of meat, and it is fresh, but if you don't want to queue, you don't have to buy it from us."
