Listening to Dashan's words, not only Li Yong's eyes widened, but even Aunt Ju opened her mouth curiously, although they heard Xiaozhuzi talk about this matter when they entered the village, Xiaozhuzi only watched a fragment from the sidelines, but he was not clear about the ins and outs of the matter, and he couldn't say what the parties thought.

Now that she has the opportunity to listen to the Lan family talk about this stubble, Aunt Ju has something hidden in her heart, and immediately rushes to ask, "Oh? What's going on? Li Jinrong can be regarded as the number one person in our Li Zigou, he ran a shop in the county town with his father at a young age, looking at others and being kind, but he is a good hand at doing business, and no one has ever begged for a bargain in his hands in our Li Zigou. ”

"Hehe," Dashan laughed proudly when he heard what Aunt Ju said, "It's this Li Jinrong who never suffers, but he fell a big heel in Fang'er's hands." ”

"Brother, you can't say that," Yun Fang hurriedly took over the conversation, unlike his brother, who was almost forgetful of his smugness, Yun Fang said lightly, "Then Li Jinrong wanted to 'spend' money to buy our secret recipe, because he was too greedy, and then there was a problem with his pickling method, and he didn't pickle the same radish strips, and then the coarse porcelain jar was kicked over by his aunt, which is a matter between his relatives, let alone our business." ”

Yun Fang briefly recounted what happened, but did not mention the part where she deliberately 'excited' the general in order to let Li Jinrong 'spend' money, although the excited mountain was a little unwilling, but seeing Yun Fang say these words so calmly, he finally did not force himself to come forward and elaborate on the scene at that time.

Rao is Yunfang deliberately recounted the incident in a low-key manner, which was much clearer than what Xiaozhuzi said at the time, such a thing was enough to shock Li Yonglian's mother and son, because they knew Li Jinrong's character, and how smart Yunfang, the little girl who knew that he was deflated and humiliated, could do this.

The expression on Aunt Ju's face became even more 'excited', and Li Yonglian once again quietly glanced at the calm Yun Fang with the tips of his eyes, and the look on his face became tangled.

Yun Hua had already learned about the afternoon from Yun Fang's mouth, she looked at Aunt Ju's mother and son, then at Yun Fang, and broke the silence with a smile, "Look, everyone is patronizing and talking, this meal is almost cold, let's eat first." ”

"Yes," after Yunhua's reminder, the mother also greeted with a smile, "What's Hua, let's talk slowly when we're full." ”

Aunt Ju, who had just woken up from her shock and was still thinking about saying something, listened to her mother's greeting, so she had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth, and raised her chopsticks together, "It's still Yunhua, this girl knows something, if she hadn't mentioned it, it would have been cold on such a delicious table." ”

"Hua'er is a stable child," the mother was pleased to answer, leaned over and sandwiched a large piece of braised 'meat' with jujube red 'color' and put it in Aunt Ju's bowl, and persuaded, "Come, old sister try this braised 'meat', this is what his father specially asked Wang Yidao of the fruit king to make, but it is more delicious than what we make ourselves." ”

"Okay, good, good, I'll come by myself, old sister, don't be busy, you eat, you eat," Aunt Ju said with a smile, "I have long heard that the king of this fruit king is not only good at killing pigs, but also cleaning up pig 'meat', the same pig 'meat' and ingredients, after being cleaned up by other people's hands, the taste is different." ”

"Dad, it's almost the New Year, isn't Wang Yidao busy killing pigs, how can there be an incident for us to clean up and burn the 'meat'?" Xiaoshi put a lotus root clip in his mouth, and while eating, he asked, "At this time in previous years, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep." ”

"This year is a little different from previous years," Dad took a sip of soju, drank comfortably, and explained slowly, "I don't know why there are several copies of pig 'meat' sold on the other side of the mountain, and the price is much cheaper than before. Let's take these two heads raised in stone as an example, if you sell them for 'meat', you can get back at most 150 yuan. ”

"The price is really not good, how can this be exchanged for two hundred yuan in previous years," Xiao Shi said with emotion, "But, it's not a matter if you don't kill it, just keep feeding?" But when this pig reaches a certain month, if it is fed and does not grow a catty, the 'meat' will also become firewood, which is not delicious. ”

"In previous years, there were also outsiders who came to collect pigs at this time, but this year I haven't seen any of them." Aunt Ju frowned, analyzed and said, "It seems that the pigs on the other side of this mountain are cheaper, or they all crossed the mountain and sold the 'meat' to us." ”

"Yes, it's weird this year, why are the good 'fat' pigs so cheap?" The mother swallowed a mouthful of food in her mouth and said worriedly.

"Old sister, you don't have to worry about it this year," Aunt Ju said with a smile, "The pig's 'meat' is cheap, and it just happened to kill the pig for a happy event." ”

"No," the mother waved her hand, "The pig killed this time was raised by stone, and I also raised two heads, thinking about selling it at the end of the year, just rich and prosperous for the New Year, this is good, such a cheap pig 'meat', how willing to kill it, but it has become a heart disease." ”

"That's right,......"

……

……

While everyone was eating, they were talking about the cheap pig 'meat', the fact that every household was reluctant to kill, and that the New Year was not good, but Yun Fang's thoughts drifted away from their dilemma.

I remember that when she was still in Lan Danxi, she watched a very popular documentary - "A Bite of China", in which a special section was talked about: the gift of hiding in the mountains - Nuodeng fire 'legs'. After reading those mouth-watering 'lust' introductions, she mail-ordered one on the Internet to eat, praised it after eating, and then frantically collected information about the 'ham'.

The marinated pig 'meat', especially the back 'leg' and 'meat', after cutting the aroma, the face 'color' is red like fire, so it is called the fire 'leg', Yunnan has 'Nuodeng fire ''' and 'Xuanwei 'fire' leg "" two kinds of fire 'leg', they have their own special 'color', but they are all famous at home and abroad.

Nuodeng fire 'leg' refers to the fire 'leg' produced in Nuodeng Village, Yunlong County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Bai nationality settlement, as early as the pre-Qing Dynasty through the southern "Silk Road", exported to Myanmar, India, Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. Nowadays, the annual grand and unprecedented March Street Market in Dali, Yunnan Province, "all merchants gather, the mountains of goods are accumulated", and people of all ethnic groups are vying to buy Nuodeng fire 'legs'.

It is a famous local specialty of Yunnan and a popular delicacy of ethnic folk. The ingredients of Bai Nuodeng fire "leg" are unique, the production is "fine" and fine, the quality is worrying and delicious, the incision "meat" and "color" are tender and red, and it has a strong local flavor and the style of pickled products of Bai compatriots.

The Nuodeng fire 'leg' has a very good quality, which has a lot to do with the climate and material conditions of Nuodeng . The rainfall there is moderate, the climate is mild, the frost period is relatively short, the people there raise pigs mostly to 'jade' rice, soybeans and green leafy plants as feed, the 'meat' is fine, the fat is thin, the lean 'meat' is more, the pig breed is very ideal, and it creates the best conditions for the pickling of excellent pig fat 'meat'.

Every year, on the eve of the 'Spring' Festival, on the occasion of the midwinter wax moon, the local Bai compatriots are busy slaughtering the 'fat' pigs and making the fire 'legs', and the fire 'legs' made at this time are called "the winter 'legs'".

Xuanwei fire 'leg' is a bacon 'meat' and 'fine' product created by the Xuanwei Han nationality in the practice of curing 'meat' for hundreds of years.

Xuanwei fire 'leg' is named because it is produced in Xuanwei, Yunnan. Its main characteristics are: the shape is like a pipa, only the big bones are small, the skin is thin, the flesh is thick, the fat, and the thinness is moderate; the section is cut, the aroma is rich, the color is bright and bright, the lean meat is bright red or rose, the fat" and "meat" are milky and white, the bones are slightly peach, and the blood is still moisturizing. Its quality is excellent, enough to represent the Yunnan fire 'leg', so it is often called "cloud 'leg'".

Xuanwei is located in the northeast of Yunnan, with a cold climate in winter, which is suitable for marinating cured meat. The curing time of Xuanwei ham 'thigh' starts from the frost to the end of spring every year, and is mainly concentrated in the winter solstice to the cold period. The pickling method is to slaughter the local pigs, squeeze out the blood, and put salt to 'knead' and rub. Then it goes through the process of pickling, fermentation, air drying, etc., and pickles after the Dragon Boat Festival the following year.

After that, use a rope to hang the fire 'leg' in a 'shade' cool, ventilated place for more than half a year, the longer the storage time, the stronger the fragrance.

Those fire 'legs' that have been stored for three, five or even ten years are called old fire 'legs', and the taste of pig 'meat' soaked in special salt for so many years is rich and mellow, which is really indescribable.
