A thunderous thought rumbled through Ye Xi's mind.

, these Jiuyi people, shouldn't they be using the pine branches of Qinglu pine to bake meat, right?!

After passing through several stone houses, and then bypassing the prehistoric predator lizard that stood motionless in the road like a fossil, a circular building much larger than the stone houses of ordinary Jiuyi people appeared in front of Ye Xi.

"Lao Yan! Lao Yan! We brought guests here!"

Before the people arrived, the enthusiastic Jiuyi soldiers around them shouted loudly in their loud voices.

Lu smiled and said to Ye Xi: "It's in front!"

Ye Xi nodded and looked at the residence of this "old rock".

There are three characteristics of this dwelling, one is the shape, and he has never seen a Jiuyi person pile up houses in the shape of yurts before.

The second is independence, there is not a stone house within 100 meters of the surrounding area.

The third is that there is a courtyard, and at the entrance of this stone house, there are two high walls made of small white rocks, which together separate a large courtyard of 100 square meters.

Unlike the rough brickwork of the stone house, these two walls are made of a translucent, unknown adhesive that looks very strong.

A group of people walked to the entrance of the courtyard.

Standing at the entrance of the yard, you can see that there are many tall wooden shelves in the yard, and the bright red and well-textured huge hind leg meat is hung in the air by thin grass ropes, which is dense and quite spectacular.

On the ground were rows of rectangular stoves built of stones, and inside the stoves were charred black charcoal burning with sparks, and on top of them were clear pine branches, from which white smoke evaporated, and ethereal drifted around the hind legs.

The sparkling salt grains on the hind leg meat are gradually melted by the smoke and heat, and all of them seep into the texture of the meat.

There was a golden grease dripping down.

"Sting!"

The grease dripped onto the charcoal fire, and wisps of white smoke with a twisting and rich aroma came out.

The Jiuyi warriors, who were still noisy, suddenly quieted down, their eyes staring directly at the ham meat, licking their lips with their tongues from time to time, their Adam's apple rolling up and down, and their saliva seemed to be about to run down.

After a while.

"Oh, I really can't come to the old rock place!

A soldier said complainingly: "I don't know when my ham will be ready, it's been a long time!"

The bald soldier next to him sighed and replied, "Don't say it, I'm with you, my ham is still a month away, and yours is about the same......"

"Forget it, it's really a sin if you can't eat ham, I'll go first!"

"I'm gone, too!"

"I'm going to stay here...... No, no, this taste is too uncomfortable, I'll leave too, go back and roast him fifty catties of meat to satisfy your hunger!"

Most of the people were gone at once.

Ye Xi is ridiculous.

He finally understood why there were no stone houses within a hundred meters of the surrounding area, and his feelings couldn't stand the smell of the ham! The Jiuyi people who love food can smell and see it, but they can't eat it, so they can't feel uncomfortable and stay away!

Lu took Ye Xi through the ham array in the courtyard and walked into the big stone house.

This yurt-shaped stone house has no windows, and unlike the sunny outside, the inside is pitch black, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside is very large.

Ye Xi cast his gaze to the left.

To his left is a large rock platform.

The rocky platform was the same color as the light in the room, it was jet black, and an old soldier with one eye, skin like dead tree bark, was concentrating on kneading the flesh of his fresh hind legs with grains of salt in the dark.

From time to time, he grabbed a pinch of salt crystals from the large stone bowl, sprinkled them evenly on the hind leg like a snowflake, and then rubbed it repeatedly until the salt was rubbed into the hind leg.

Ye Xi's gaze was fixed on the salt crystals in the stone bowl.

This salt crystal also seems to be unusual, it is a good thing! It should be better than the natural rock salt in the rock salt mine cave they found in Xicheng.

Lu Xing shouted to the old soldier: "Lao Yan, my ham should be good, right?!"

The old warrior named Lao Yan stopped his movements, glanced at them with the one-eyed of a yin owl, and said nothing.

Lu didn't care, patted Ye Xi's shoulder and said, "Ah Xi Mo Wei, this old Yan doesn't like to talk, even if he beats him, he can't hear a cry of pain!"

"But ah, the ham made by Lao Yan tastes amazing!"

"If you want to eat ham, in addition to giving you enough payment, you have to bring good hind leg meat and a few catties of Qinglu pine branches over yourself, otherwise you won't have to eat it! In addition, you have to wait patiently for a few months, otherwise you won't have to eat!"

"And everyone can only order one ham a year, tsk, if you want to eat ham meat, you have to wait for a year, this old rock has a beast core and doesn't make money...... It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Ye Xi said to Lu with a smile: "Making ham is very complicated, I heard that it has to go through five steps, such as salting, smoking, drying, fermentation and drying, and if one step is not done well, the quality of the ham will decline." I don't think Lao Yan doesn't want to make more ham, but he's afraid of making it bad!"

Lao Yan's one-eyed eyes looked at Ye Xi again, but he still didn't speak.

Lu touched his big belly and said strangely: "Salting, smoking, drying, fermentation and drying?" Hey, it seems that Ah Xi knows a lot about ham, I probably know about this salted smoke and drying, but what is fermentation for?"

Ye Xi was stunned: "Uh......"

He was still thinking about how to explain it, but Lu had already abandoned this problem, and shouted impatiently to Lao Yan in a loud voice: "I said Lao Yan, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and take out my ham! I want to invite my brother to taste it, hurry up, go quickly!"

shouted, and wiped the saliva overflowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Ye Xi: "......"

Lao Yan glanced at Lu, dipped his salt-stained hands into the water tank, and then turned around and went into another room without saying a word.

Lu was still not at ease, and urged behind him like a bell: "Hurry up——!"

After a while, Lao Yan came back with a large ham that looked more than 100 catties long and was three meters long, the surface of the ham was brown, covered with some white mycelium, and it was hard.

Lu Xi took it with both hands, looked at it repeatedly, and said, "That's right, this is my leg! Lao Yan, although you are a little older, your brain is really good! After so long, I still remember that this leg is mine!"

"Eat, eat, I can't wait!"

After that, in Ye Xi's shocked eyes, Lu held the two ends of the big ham with both hands, rattled, broke the big bone in it, and then used brute force to tear the fiery red ham meat inside.

After throwing half of the ham to Ye Xi, he snorted recklessly, and couldn't wait to bury his head and take a bite.

"Yum!!"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
