After eating in the evening, Chengxin went home with the washed large intestine, and even forgot to bring back the camera.

I took a shower, didn't even bother to wash my clothes, and then went back upstairs, smeared some medicinal wine and went to sleep.

From morning to night, I cut meat and bent over to fill sausages, which almost made my back hurt, and the clothes are not too late to be washed tomorrow, anyway, they are all washing machines.

After waking up in the morning, Chengxin was refreshed again, and the medicine and wine were still easy to use, and after doing so much work yesterday, he didn't feel it at all.

After eating breakfast and drying clothes, Chengxin went out to the old man and got the sausages out to dry.

However, when she reached the courtyard, she saw that the sausages were already hanging outside.

"Are you afraid that the sausages will be stolen and come and guard them?" Zhong Tao looked at Chengxin who came in and asked.

"Hehe, who is going to steal the sausages?"

"I was going to come over and hang the sausages outside, but I didn't expect you to get them out for me," Chengxin explained with a smile.

"Drying sausages? If you're a little late, the sun will go down," Zhong Tao said with a disdainful look at Cheng Xin.

He didn't sleep at all, but Chengxin did sleep lazily freely, so he was resentful.

"It's so much resentment, I don't know where there is an unjust case, brother, these are also your share, but look at it, I'll go back first."

As a joke, Cheng Xin took the camera that he forgot to bring back yesterday, and then went back.

In the next few days, Chengxin had nothing else to do except make the soundtrack and release a video.

It wasn't until three days later that I helped my grandmother solve the remaining two pigs.

This time it was busier, after all, the two ends added up to more than 400 catties of meat.

Fortunately, the old man sold some, but the rest was about 300 catties.

This time there were more people than last time, and Uncle Zhang and his family next door also came to help.

In the end, a large vat of marinated meat with two large pots of meat, plus two bamboo sausages, was nearly one hundred and eighty sausages.

In the evening, with Chengxin's last pouring, the hall was filled with a large pile of sausages, making the whole room smell.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days in the blink of an eye, and in the morning, Chengxin came over with his grandmother and them, and after taking out the meat that had been marinated for seven or eight days to dry, and then preparing for the preliminary work of smoking bacon.

Signing out the big buffalo, hanging up the ox cart, the two brothers Cheng Xin and his cousin, drove the ox cart to the lake.

The essential ingredient for smoked sausages, cypress branches and leaves, is not available around the village, not for nothing.

As a mountain village, how could there be no cypresses?

Generally in the countryside, it is known that the more people who are close to people, the branches of cypress trees will be cut down by everyone, either to make a fire or to bake meat.

Around the village, almost every cypress tree, below three meters, is bare. I can't see a single branch.

Therefore, if you want to get cypress branches around the village, you have to cut down the trees and put the cypress trees to get the branches in the canopy.

However, no one would cut down a cypress tree for a few cypress branches.

If you want to get cypress branches, you either have to go to the back mountain, that is, the two mountain ranges that come out of the mountain.

Or go to the lake and look for it in the pine forest on the other side of the lake.

The two brothers chatted, and before they knew it, they were in the pine forest, and then they began to look for the cypress tree.

In the mountains, cypress trees are not at all comparable to pine trees, and in a forest, the ratio of two trees may reach tens to one.

However, it is also easy to find. Moreover, the cypress tree grew much taller than the pine tree, and within a minute or two, the two brothers found their target.

The two brothers cooperated, cut for more than an hour, and filled a cart full of cypress trees, and even people couldn't sit down.

The process was boring, there were no adventures, and no squirrel treasures were found.

As for pine nuts, there are many of them, and under the pine forest, there are pine nuts that have dried up everywhere.

However, this thing is not good to use when it is picked up and burned on fire, and it cannot be eaten.

The southern pine tree and the northern pine tree have different varieties.

Only the red pine in the north will have the kind of pine nut with the size of a fist, while the other varieties of pine trees in the south have only a very small pine nut.

Some people have also thought that Korean pine is planted in the south, but this is the same as oranges, southern oranges and northern oranges, after all, the south is really hot, not suitable for the growth of Korean pine.

However, pine trees in the south also have the advantage of growing faster than those in the north, which is more affordable for plantations.

The two brothers tied up a cart full of cypresses, after all, the dirt road was uneven. If you don't tie it up, maybe after a small pit and a small bag, it will fall down in a pile.

After tying up the cypress branches, Chengxin patted the buffalo's head and said go home, and Brother Niu walked in the direction of the village.

A cart full of cypress trees, for the big buffalo that is often opened by Chengxin, it is completely trivial, and it is easy to pull.

Not to mention, since a few months ago, Chengxin took the big buffalo and the people in the village to the Ranshi Valley to pull stones, Brother Niu ushered in the spring of his own cow.

There are cows in the village, and the last time I saw the big buffalo with big physique and great strength, and those who wanted to breed their own buffalo went to the old man to find the big buffalo.

Maybe they think that the big buffalo is so strong, and the offspring that are bred should also inherit a little bit of the genes of the big buffalo, right?

Therefore, this year's big buffalo has been bred more times than from childhood to adulthood, and I don't know if he is happy, hahaha.

Similarly, he is not the only one who is happy, and Brother Ma is also very happy now.

Every time he opens a small stove for Brother Niu, naturally, Brother Ma is also indispensable.

So the current Brother Ma is also strong and shiny, and he doesn't look like a southwest horse pulling things and running mountain roads at all, but like a well-bred racing horse.

Such a good horse, who will you find if you don't breed him? Although the knowledge of the people in the village is not high, they are still very good at farming and raising livestock.

Moreover, these two animals are also easy to raise, which is much simpler than raising pigs.

After all, there is such a large grassland in the village, and they can just take it out every day and let them eat it by themselves, and they don't have to mow the grass every day, unless they are working.

The two brothers followed the big buffalo and took more than an hour to reach the old house.

Untie the ox cart, let the big buffalo be to the side, and eat the tender breakfast that the old man has prepared a long time ago, after all, he is working today, so he has to be treated, right?

And the two brothers of Chengxin also entered the house and started to eat, the old man and they had already prepared the meal, and they had waited for the two brothers for a while.

I didn't rush to smoke the sausages in the afternoon, after all, the bacon was only dried in the morning, and it would be tomorrow at the earliest.

Originally, according to the custom of the village, this bacon was directly put in the kitchen and hung, and then burned a piece of wood underneath. Put the wet cypress branches on it and smoke it slowly.

But Chengxin doesn't have that effort, after all, this is smoked with fire, and you have to watch it often, otherwise the wet cypress branches will burn after drying, and maybe the bacon will be burned.

In the southwestern provinces, fires caused by smoked bacon occur from time to time every year, and the light bacon burns down, and the heavy whole house burns down. Even people were burned alive.

So, he plans to smoke it outside for a day, then get it back to his kitchen and smoke it for a while when he has free time.

The next day, the two brothers had breakfast and started their work.

The large and small stones were made to the edge of the fence farther away from the house, and then a special stove for smoking bacon was stacked two meters high, more than one meter wide and more than one meter deep.

In the innermost part of this simple stove, a steel pipe is placed first, and then the meat hooked with stainless steel iron hooks is hung on top one by one.

There were eight or nine pieces hung in one row, and there were three rows of meat in total.

In fact, if they are all large pieces, two rows are enough, after all, a piece of meat is more than ten or twenty pounds, but my cousin has some small pieces, so I used one more row.

Finally, there are two rows of sausages hanging on the outermost side, and the sausages must be hung a little outside, because the fire will burn a little inside when smoking.

If you hang the sausages on the fire, you may smoke the sausages when the temperature is high.

Even if it doesn't explode, the thin layer of casing will be roasted.

In these two rows, the sausages have not been hung up, and there are still twenty or thirty sections left, which were put on top of the meat by Chengxin, that is, on a few steel pipes placed horizontally.

The one that should be hung has been hung, the one that should be placed has been placed, and finally, Chengxin has already prepared two or three layers of banana leaves on it.

Finally, a relatively large burlap pocket was placed over it, which was done to prevent the smoke from escaping.

After the burlap bag was covered, he looked at it, and there was no big gap, so Chengxin sat on the small stool prepared in front of the stove.

He took out a lighter, lit the straw that started the fire, put a few small sticks, and then grabbed a little cypress branch on the side and placed it on it.

As soon as the cypress tree was released, the fire burning in the stove was not visible at once, and a puff of smoke followed.

Finally, put a few pieces of orange peel on top of the cypress, the older generation said that the bacon would be more fragrant, and Chengxin didn't care if it was true or not, just do it.

In this way, Chengxin began the work of smoking bacon.

This smoked bacon can't be separated from people, and it will take two primers and add some dry wood. Add some cypress branches, but don't let the fire burn too much.

When the fire burns, a long wooden stick placed next to it is pressed against the cypress tree, so that the fire is extinguished.

Smoked all morning. There are three hours if there are not four hours.

After lunch, Chengxin did not add dry wood, only added a handful of cypresses.

After the meal, Cheng Xin and Zhong Tao went to the stove together, and opened the burlap bag covered on it, as well as the banana leaves, many of which were already paste.

By the time of the meal, there was no fire in the stove, and the two brothers took all the sausages and put them in a large basin on one side.

The meat doesn't need to be taken off, Chengxin plans to smoke it for an afternoon, it's only a few hours? Time is too short.

The main sausage can't be smoked like this for too long, otherwise Chengxin will wait for him to smoke it until the evening before taking it out.

After replacing the top with new banana leaves and covering the sacks with burlap, the bacon began to be smoked.

However, this time it was replaced by Zhong Taofu, Chengxin brought the smoked sausages back home, and after hanging his share of sausages in the kitchen, Chengxin returned to the old house.
