Chapter 215: Bacon
Hua Ming's reminder calmed Lin Qingqing.
It seems that she was a little too anxious to come up with the idea of grilling it over charcoal.
Lin Qingqing asked people to peel some plum bark again. Because it's winter, if it's not early in the morning, the woods are actually very dry.
Therefore, the freshly harvested plum bark is ready for use after simple drying. This time, Lin Qingqing was not too anxious, she gathered the bark together, gathered it into a cone, and then lit the spire.
The bark soon produced smoke. Lin Qingqing prepared a few wooden planks this time and sealed the simple smoker.
Although some smoke still came out of the cracks. This reassured the old man Rong and Xing Qianye who were tied to the chair. They thought that Lin Qingqing would let them wear smoky makeup once they failed.
"Miss Lin, what does this smell like?" Old man Rong opened his mouth first.
"It's the scent of plums." Lin Qingqing replied.
"Plum trees are scented? The old man has lived for so many years, and he has traveled to many places, and he has never heard of the fragrance of plum trees...... "Old man Rong was full of disbelief, but the facts were there, and he was also a little shaken.
"Plum trees are scented. It's not a plum tree, even the plum is fragrant. Lin Qingqing explained.
"Miss Lin is wrong, the old man once smelled the freshly picked plums himself, but there was no smell at all. As for the salted dried plums, the old man also experimented. Old man Rong began to chatter.
"That's because only ripe plums have a fragrance. And the plum wine, salted umeboshi, is only picked when it is green. So most people don't know that plums are fragrant. Lin Qingqing explained.
Her general explanation made everyone present look at her in a daze.
"What are you looking at me for? Don't you believe me? Lin Qingqing was a little unhappy and asked.
"No, Miss Lin, I just didn't know that Miss Lin was so knowledgeable. It was a lot of rudeness before. Old man Rong said with some shame.
"Forget it, Mr. Yung, everyone is like that. I'm the same kind of person as you, thinking that I know a lot more, but my heart is getting narrower and narrower. Lin Qingqing said.
The two people on the other side, Xing Qianye and Hua Ming, both looked at Lin Qingqing a little sluggishly, as if they wanted to look at Lin Qingqing more carefully.
But soon, the two of them couldn't stand it anymore. Although the re-smoked smoke was fragrant, it was also very rinsy to the nose, and everyone's eyes began to cry.
And when everyone was coughing, the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, obscuring everyone's vision.
"Tian Zhang, save me!" Lin Qingqing shouted outside the house.
……
Fortunately, with the help of Tian Zhang, everyone escaped in the smoke.
"It seems that the airtightness and smoke exhaust must be done well, otherwise it will be done." Lin Qingqing said.
"Miss Lin, can you put me down from the chair first?" Xing Qianye said.
"Nope." Lin Qingqing glanced at him. "You'd better sit down, and you'll have to test the poison later."
Lin Qingqing's sentence made the old man Rong next to him, who had already given up resistance, struggle.
"Miss Lin, did you invite the old man here under the idea of letting the old man test the poison?" Old man Rong said.
Regardless of the two people who were pressed on the chair and Hua Ming, who was half-pressed on the chair, Lin Qingqing did not answer, but looked at the room that was already occupied by thick smoke.
After an hour and a half, the smoke in the house stopped, and the plum bark inside must have burned out.
Lin Qingqing hit the door of the house and walked in.
There was a fruity aroma and a heavy smell of smoke inside, but Lin Qingqing was aiming for the contents of the smoker. Lin Qingqing opened the sealed smoker, and then took out a few strings of pork hanging from the oven.
"This is bacon?" Everyone looked at the black thing in front of them suspiciously, and said.
"Don't." Lin Qingqing said unhurriedly, and then took out a sharp knife.
The outer layer of the bacon is black, and there is a layer of oil, which does not look good. However, when Lin Qingqing's knife gently cut along the outer layer, it revealed dark red pork.
The flesh was very much like mahogany, and it seemed to be waxed, crystal clear, like some kind of red gemstone.
Lin Qingqing cut another knife and slice out a thin piece of meat. The flesh is very shiny, and it has an attractive luster through the light.
"Is this bacon?" Old man Rong said in surprise.
Even Xing Qianye and Hua Ming couldn't believe their eyes.
The bacon changed from a black piece of meat to a crystal sliced meat, the whole process was very short, and when everyone was stunned, Lin Qingqing had already slipped all the meat and put it on five plates.
Tian Zhang was also called over, five people and five plates, just enough to divide.
The first to do it was Tian Zhang, he had complete trust in Lin Qingqing, since Lin Qingqing asked him to try, he tried, that's all.
Then there was Hua Ming, who very elegantly took a small piece and put it in his mouth.
"Delicious." Hua Ming shouted. "The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt the fruity aroma and a faint smell of smoke. The pork has been smoked and has become very firm, and the fat on the pork has been completely melted, bringing all the flavors together. ”
"I never thought that pork could be made in such a way." Hua Ming laughed, a little dazzling, if those female visitors saw it, they would definitely be fascinated by his smile.
The other two said nothing. It's not that they don't want to make any judgments, it's that they're tied to chairs, and although the plates are placed in front of them, their bodies can't move.
"Miss Lin, since you invited me to test the poison, let me go, so that I can test the poison." Old man Rong looked at the plate of bacon and said.
And Lin Qingqing could only helplessly let Tian Zhang let Old Man Rong and Xing Qianye go.
"I thought it would fail, and I tied you up because I was afraid that you would run away." Lin Qingqing said. "It doesn't seem necessary now."
After being tied up for so long, the criminal relocation industry didn't have anything, just picked up the plate and tried the bacon.
"How's it taste?" Lin Qingqing asked.
"It's delicious, but the smell of smoke seems to be a little washed away." Xing Qianye said.
"Well, I have to think of a way to go back, this smoke really can't be too strong." Lin Qingqing thought with his chin under his pinch.
On the contrary, it was the old man Rong, who was choked with anger. But after trying the taste of bacon, nothing was said.
But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that Lin Qingqing doesn't say it either.
"Old man Rong, how is it, didn't you say that you haven't heard of smoked meat for so many years? How did you feel when you ate it for the first time? Lin Qingqing asked.
Old man Rong's face turned red, and finally he almost threw down the plate and said, "It's delicious." ”
