Chapter 95: Teach the primitive people how to make bacon
After understanding the process of wintering in the primitive world,
Jiang Wanwan finally knew what instant noodles, a food that can be stored for a long time, meant to the primitive people.
It means that no one will starve to death in winter, and no one will even go hungry.
No wonder Li asked to exchange all the star coins for instant noodles as soon as he understood the situation!
Since he runs a supermarket and has business coming to the door, Jiang Wanwan will naturally not refuse.
But!
Eating too much instant noodles is not nutritious, especially not as nutritious as meat.
Moreover, these primitive people are so tall and strong.
Who dares to say that it has nothing to do with eating wild animal meat all the time?
If the people of the scorching sun tribe eat instant noodles for a winter.
When spring comes, whether they still have the strength to hunt becomes a big problem.
What Jiang Wanwan needs is a constant source of customers, and she is not willing to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
So, after thinking for a moment, Jiang Wanwan made a decision.
Teach these primitive people a way to preserve meat for a long time.
Among many methods, Jiang Wanwan finally chose to make bacon.
In fact, bacon may be more suitable for primitive people than bacon.
After all, the large amount of wood needed for bacon is readily available to primitive people.
But because of some selfish reasons, Jiang Wanwan still chose bacon.
First of all, salt is needed to make bacon, which can just boost the sales of the supermarket.
Secondly, the wood in the primitive world is all precious wood that is hard to come by on Earth. Using it to smoke meat is a waste of resources. It hurts to think about it!
After making a plan in mind, Jiang Wanwan raised her head.
She first comforted the agitated primitive people, and then told them her plan.
Hearing that she had a method to preserve meat for a long time and was willing to teach them, the primitive people did not quite believe it.
They did not believe that there was such a method, nor did they believe that someone would be so kind.
Jiang Wanwan was not in a hurry to gain their trust.
Instead, she slowly outlined the method of making bacon.
Then, she explained it to the skeptical people.
"I am willing to teach you this method because if you want to make bacon, you must use the salt here!"
Jiang Wanwan's words were half true and half false!
The black salt in the primitive world is all lumpy and very hard, and it is not easy to melt and absorb.
Of course, if they are willing to grind and filter it, they can use it to make bacon.
But there is no need for this, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the key is that the price is not as cheap as the salt in the supermarket.
The reason why Jiang Wanwan said this was to reassure the primitive people.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said.
The doubts on everyone's faces also increased a little more trust.
Dan couldn't help but ask directly.
"Jiang, how do you do the method you just mentioned? I didn't quite understand it. Can you say it again?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wanwan smiled and took out her mobile phone. She found a video of making bacon from the short videos and showed it to them.
There is a generation gap between the two worlds. If it is explained by language alone, it is probably not easy to understand.
But the video is different. You only need to watch it once to remember the general process.
Sure enough, after watching the video, everyone had a general idea in their minds.
The whole production process is not difficult, and the only material required is salt.
Thinking that with this method, they will not be hungry in the future, everyone couldn't help but smile.
As the team leader, Li thought more and quickly expressed his doubts.
"Can any wild animal meat be made into bacon? How much salt is needed to make bacon? Can we start making it now?"
Jiang Wanwan answered these questions one by one.
"Any meat can be made into bacon, but wild animals with more fat will taste better when made into bacon."
After all, bacon made entirely of lean meat may taste harder.
"As for how much salt is needed? You'll have to wait for that!"
Jiang Wanwan asked the other party to wait, and then she quickly checked on her phone.
By the way, the bacon at home was made by her mother, and she had never tried it before.
Fortunately, the Internet is omnipotent, and Jiang Wanwan found the answer in less than two minutes.
The best ratio for marinating bacon is 150g of salt for 10 pounds of meat.
However, although she had found the answer, when it came to describing it, Jiang Wanwan encountered difficulties again.
How should she describe to the other party how big a piece of meat is 10 kilograms?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Wanwan finally spoke.
"The weight of the meat you brought yesterday and today seems to be about the same?"
Li was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this, but still said it seriously.
"I remember that there should not be much difference."
Jiang Wanwan also remembered that the meat they brought yesterday seemed to be 440 kilograms, and today it was 448 kilograms.
Since the other party can estimate the approximate weight, it will be easy.
"Take the amount of meat you bring every day, divide it into four portions of the same weight, and put 2 packets of salt in each portion."
In this way, each portion of meat weighs about 11 or 12 kilograms, and 200g of salt is appropriate.
After all, it is the first time to do it, so it is better to be cautious.
If you put too much salt, it will just be a little salty. If you put too little salt, the meat will go bad.
The man nodded in understanding, and the problem was solved.
Jiang Wanwan talked about the last question he asked.
"Except when it's too hot in summer, you can make bacon at other times, and it's natural to do so now."
On Earth, people make bacon before the New Year, it's just a matter of habit.
In fact, bacon can be made at other times.
It's just that the higher the temperature, the more salt is needed, otherwise it will go bad easily.
Jiang Wanwan also reminded Li about this issue.
After fully understanding the matter about bacon.
Li finally decided how to spend the star coins in his hand.
"I want 1 longbow, 10 arrows, 1 iron pot, 30 packs of salt, 30 packs of instant noodles, 5 machetes, and the rest will be replaced with buns."
Compared with before, the machete and iron pot were reduced, and the salt and instant noodles were increased.
"The remaining star coins can be exchanged for 44 buns!" Jiang Wanwan said concisely.
Then, she began to take things out.
After taking the things they needed, the primitive people turned around and left.
