Chapter 47 Secret Bacon



After waiting for a few days, the educated youth and their parents did not arrive, but the day came when Shi Peng was about to return to the team.

Alas, I have been home for more than 20 days, working at home every day, and I haven’t spent enough time with him. It’s a pity. I must spend enough time with him next time I come back... I feel a little sorry for him when I think about it.

But why do I feel a little excited in my heart?

The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, the sky is high enough for birds to fly...freedom!

With such a big secret hidden, it is inconvenient for the man to do anything at home. He can only enter the space at night to plant crops and check on the small animals raised in the fields.

The rabbits in the forest are obviously big and small. In such a short period of time, the second generation of rabbits has begun to grow up. But looking at the large and small holes is a bit speechless...

Should we build a fence between the grassland and the forest? Otherwise, the grassland will be plagued by rabbits. The destructive power of rabbits on the grassland is astonishing.

They have no natural enemies here. Wolf cubs occasionally come in, but they are still too small and have never caught a rabbit.

There also seemed to be a lot more pheasants that practiced flying from time to time.

These were picked from the mountains a few days ago. There were too many of them, so I put them in a free-range space and they reproduced quite quickly.

There are also chickens and ducks on the grassland and in the river, and their scale seems to have grown a lot.

By the way, I harvested the crops on the black soil and planted some potatoes and sweet potatoes. Well, these are my favorites and the easiest to handle in this era. The only reason is that I’m starving!

Haha, things are getting better and better...

What else can I do? After all, he is my man. I can't eat meat every day. He can't even drink soup.

Well, there is so much room for meat, let’s get some bacon.

After being pickled, the pork has a stronger flavor. It is very delicious whether it is stir-fried with peppers or other vegetables. It can be stored for a very long time. Generally, the pickled bacon will not go bad until next year.

Smoked rabbit, smoked bacon, smoked chicken, smoked duck... I'm drooling just thinking about it.

What if Shi Peng couldn't carry that much? Well, that's a good question. Of course, he would keep it for himself...

Or if parents know the addresses of other relatives, they can send it to them.

There are two ways to smoke bacon. One is to air-dry the bacon in a dry and ventilated place, and the other is to smoke the bacon, which is more commonly used in rural areas.

Seeing that Shi Peng was leaving in two days, he had no choice but to use smoke.

She did it right away. While Shi Peng was going back to the old house, she ran to a high mountainside and looked at the graceful cypress trees. Not bad, you are the one that pleases her eyes.

A sharp blade in space flew over silently, and in an instant the tree was divided into 6 sections of 2 meters each. The cypress branches were also divided and placed directly into the space.

I was just about to turn around and go home when I suddenly felt that it was a little too little. Well, since I was already here, I might as well cut some more.

So he did the same thing and cut down more than a dozen straight and tall cypress trees. These were good materials for building houses and furniture, but because they were too close to the mountains and the altitude was too high, no one came to cut them down.

On the way back, I also came across two nests of rabbits and five or six pheasants, which I collected and felt very happy.

I started smoking the meat as soon as I got home.

First, rinse the fine meat in the space into the magical spring water and soak it for a while. This is spring water with fitness wall function. You can't drink it when you leave home, so replenish it here.

Then cut it into small strips with a knife, pour enough salt into the pot, stir-fry slowly over low heat, then add dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, Amomum villosum, white button, cinnamon, star anise, galangal, bay leaves, etc., put them all in the pot and stir-fry until fragrant, then remove all the seasonings and let cool.

Then put the drained pork into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of white wine and stir it, then put the cooled seasoning into the bowl, use your hands to evenly apply the seasoning to the surface of the pork, and then seal the bowl.

Originally, it would have taken a few days to marinate, but time waits for no one. So Chu Xi tried putting the meat in the black soil, and it really worked. It was marinated in less than an hour. He took it out and put it in the sun to sterilize and dry the surface moisture.

Then take out the dried pork, put a layer of tin foil in the pot, put tea leaves, dried orange peel, sawdust, and sugar in it, put the bacon on the grate, cover the pot, and smoke until the meat turns golden yellow.

Just like that, from last night to tonight, Chu Xi finished it in less than 24 hours with the help of the cheating tool.

I also made some similar dishes such as smoked rabbit, roast duck, and roast chicken, which I could eat on the way.

Looking at the golden and translucent bacon, the greedy Chu Xi, Xiao Shitou and the little wolf cub "Xiao Hui" started drooling.

Why bother to spoil yourself? Just start cooking. Soon, a dish of fried snow peas with bacon that is fragrant, fatty but not greasy, and has a unique flavor will be ready.

The fragrance spread everywhere. If her house wasn't so remote, it would probably attract a lot of children. In these days when people can't even get enough to eat, they would definitely be noticed for eating such delicious food.

"Hmm? What smells so good?" Shi Peng, who had just said goodbye to the old house early, came back soon. Of course, this place is now the new home, and the place where Old Man Shi and Old Lady Shi lived has naturally become the old house.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, fried snow peas with bacon, stewed pheasant with mushrooms, pumpkin with scallion oil, cabbage with green peppers, and braised rice, the aroma of the food is everywhere.

She still has some conscience. She knows I'm leaving tomorrow, so she made something delicious. But why are there so many weird seasonings?

But his wife is really good at eating! She's also a big spender! Shi Peng smiled helplessly. His wife could only earn more money for them.

Amidst laughter and joy, the two adults, one child, and one wolf cub finished their dinner, though they felt a little full.

Looking at the two people and the wolf stroking their bellies, Shi Peng and Chu Xi smiled happily. This is what a home should be like.

Chu Xi was even more determined that she must live a good life in this life, protect the people around her, make money, make a lot of money, let her family live a happy life, and not leave any regrets!
