It’s Not Too Late to Meet Again After Rebirth
Chapter 20: Do the first flavor
It ’s customary to make bacon sausages for the New Year. Do n’t worry about money or money. Before years ago, you had to hang a few yellow crispy bacon and put a few sections of red sausages.
Especially in the countryside, as long as the conditions are good enough to go to other people, they will kill the pigs for the New Year, make a house of bacon sausages, keep them well, and put them in June and July of the following year, the taste can hardly be described in words.
Bacon is made by almost every household, it seems simple, but in fact it has a lot of attention.
The first is the selection of materials. Good bacon requires fat but not greasy, salty and refreshing. The pigs fed by pure grain and weeds in the countryside have excellent meat quality, and they are not uniformly produced by the slaughterhouse. Lin Mo was worried about not being able to buy ‘irrigated pork’ in the market, so he spent a lot of effort to acquire rural fat pigs and ‘supervised’ himself.
Secondly, bacon tastes better, and this process of pickling is extremely critical. There are extremely strict regulations on the amount of salt, refined nitrate, pepper, cinnamon, star anise, etc. used for each pound of meat. The curing time, ‘turning the meat’ during the curing period, washing and drying after the curing period, each step will affect the final taste.
After that, it is baking. l People in the county use bacon to cook bacon, so the meat is “baked”, the color is golden and red, and it is easy to store. On the basis of Linmo charcoal baking, many cypress sticks are added. Under high temperature baking, the cypress sticks will form smoke, and the 'roasting' will become 'smoked grilled'. In this way, the bacon is not only beautiful in color, but also the meat itself. The cypress tree has a unique fragrance 'smoked' smell, delicious and delicious.
The selection of bacon was very picky, which caused Lin Mo to have more than two hundred pounds of leftovers. The leftovers are all fat and thin, with a high proportion of fat and meat, which is just right for sausages.
He asked people to cut all the pigskin in these scraps, and then sliced the meat. He added wine, chili noodles, pepper noodles, sugar, five-spice powder and other seasonings according to his own recipe, and marinated it to make Sichuan spicy. I borrowed the sausage machine from Lao Zhao to 'load' the marinated meat into the small intestine and dry it with water vapor.
Lin Mo had good luck. The weather has been very good near the New Year. It is easy to dry the bacon and sausage.
Next, it is smoked.
Lin Mo ’s family had never used the pigsty once. The house was built relatively low. The pigsty was taller on all four sides. There was only a concrete window on all four sides, which could be blocked by fixing a wooden board directly.
Due to limited space, he didn't want to smoke a bacon to light the house, so he took the pork in two batches and smoked it.
During this period, Lin Mo asked people to use scrap fine steel bars to weld them into several large nets, which can be placed on the pigsty. Charcoal and cypress branches are placed under the steel mesh, and the meat is placed on the top. The height is just right. As long as you turn it hard, you do n’t have to worry about uneven heating. Bacon that is carefully smoked in this way not only has a good color, but also a very fragrant taste.
When everyone put the charcoal on the floor and set it on fire, and then put the cypress branches in time, the white smoke filled the whole "smoked room". When the unique flavor of the bacon slowly escaped, the big stones in the heart finally dropped.
To be honest, the villagers are not very optimistic about Lin Mo tossing these sausages and bacon. In their view, what can Lin Mo's child know? The villagers have made bacon for several lifetimes. It ’s okay to put some salting and pickling in anyone ’s home. Even if he puts so many miscellaneous spices in it, he ’s not afraid of spoiling the meat; The charcoal is roasted directly, and the smell of wet cypress sticks has penetrated into the meat. Can the meat be delicious? That smoky, don't make it black and white, but it's all over. And the sausage, with so many seasonings, it smells very fragrant, but do n’t finish it because it ’s too complicated to add sour.
When I came here to help Lin Mo, all of them were in a good relationship, and the wages were collected, but everyone hoped that Lin's family would be good. To this end, many people on the way either directly or euphemistically persuaded Lin Mo not to toss about. Lin Mo knew everyone's good intentions, but he didn't dare to fool the villagers with his mother's affairs. He only said that the bacon and sausage recipes were learned from books and kept.
Most people in Qingtong Village do not read until junior high school, there are many people in elementary school culture, and there are many people who have not studied in a day. The high level of education in the village is the slow process of “dispatching” to the village to do educated youth. When he passed away, he finished his high school and studied as a teacher Lin Jiangao.
Everyone has special respect for educated people. Therefore, Lin Moyi said that those methods were learned from books, and everyone's doubts and worries became curiosity.
The temperature in the 'smoked room' must be high, and the bacon must be turned over from time to time. Lin Mo often had to go in and look at everyone's work, because he had a good cold, otherwise the smoke method, according to his previous lung, can He went to the hospital directly.
Realizing that she had been bothered by the illness, Lin Mo happily rolled in bed several times in private.
Most of the day passed, and the first batch of bacon was finally ready. When the smoked golden red bacon was taken out of the smoke roasting room, everyone's eyes were straight. Although every family will kill pigs and make bacon as long as they can get through, no one can make such a good color.
In the evening, Lin Mo let people cook a pot of bacon, and when cut into a bowl, each piece of meat was crystal clear, thin, rosy and delicate. When it was eaten in the mouth, the bacon's unique salty fragrance spread instantly, fat but not greasy, Thin but not firewood, there is also a light scent of cypress branches mixed with various spices of the bacon itself, which is so beautiful that everyone hates to swallow the tongue together.
Try the smoked and grilled sausages with the remaining fire. They are medium fat, spicy and fragrant. The mouthpiece is tender and crispy. It is not as old as its own sausage. Everyone has lived for decades and has never had such a delicious sausage.
"Served, served, I'm considered a service. The talents are the talents. The things they make are different from ours. This taste is absolutely exquisite." The middle-aged man even ate three big chopsticks and bacon sausages.
"Xiao Mo, I bet you can make a lot of money by selling these sausage bacon!"
"That's what you want me to say, Xiao Mo, you have to get this early, you will definitely make more money."
"My son's daughter-in-law works outside the province and brought me a letter to say that he will work overtime in the factory this year and I can't go home for the Chinese New Year. I also plan to send them some sausage and bacon in the past few days. I will buy it for you, How much do you sell others, and how much do you count me? "
Lin Mo smiled and said: "Three aunts are too polite, you have helped me so many days, how can I make you money. So, I only charge you the cost price. Brother Hu Zi and sister-in-law are not easy outside, just It ’s my heart. "
The fat woman smiled and said: "Ouch, I said Xiao Mo's kindness. Yes, all three aunts listen to you."
Next, two other families who did not kill the pigs asked Lin Mo to buy some bacon sausages. Lin Mo agreed to only charge them the cost price. Everyone happily ate dinner, and then smoked and baked half of the bacon sausage at night.
Until two o'clock in the morning, it took a total of five days to make all the bacon sausages.
Wait for all the bacon sausages to be taken out to dry in the empty room, and the charcoal fire in the smokehouse will be extinguished. Lin Mo settled the wages for everyone, because they worked overtime tonight, each of them paid six days of wages, and each family gave them a piece of bacon and six sausages. The guys were happy. He said that Lin Mo was too polite, and said that if there is something he wants them to help in the future, he says.
Lin Mo smiled and inherited one by one.
It's three o'clock in the evening to send everyone away. Lin Mo fell asleep, and as the alarm sounded at seven o'clock in the morning, he had to crawl out of bed.
Wash your mouth and stuff yourself a simple breakfast. I pulled out the tricycle from the overhaul two days ago, took 50 bacon, loaded two boxes of sausages on the car, brought them from someone else's house, and last night I left a lunch box full of cut bacon sausages Take it together, bring enough change, and rush to the county vegetable market in a tricycle.
At this time, there were only two big vegetable markets in L County, one west and one east. Lin Mo chose the west one, which was closer to the hospital. The old lady helped him. Guan Linmo felt that it was unnecessary, but he couldn't hold back the elderly. The stall was an old lady who spent a lot of time renting it out in the past two days. Leaning against the front door entrance, the location is very good, but one hundred dollars a day makes the old lady feel distressed.
At eight o'clock, Lin Mo finally arrived at the vegetable market, and the old lady was already waiting there. As soon as she looked at the color of bacon in the car, and then smelled the scent, her face suddenly showed a big smile, and she had put it down in the past few days.
With the approaching of the Chinese New Year, there are especially many new year buyers. People in the city are no more than those in the countryside, and there are few people who kill pigs for the New Year. Many people are too lazy to make their own bacon sausages.
It's just that everyone is worried about the price increase of pork during the Chinese New Year. They have already bought Chinese New Year's bacon sausages early in the morning. Although there are many vegetable sellers in the vegetable market, few people visit Linmo stalls.
"Sister, how do you sell bacon?" A customer came over and asked when Lin Mojia's bacon was so attractive. Because Lin Mo was tender, everyone regarded the old lady as a master.
The old lady smiled and said, "Twenty dollars for bacon and one catty, and sixteen sausages."
"Your price is too expensive. The previous ones only sold for fifteen, cheaper. I will buy you more."
"It's all made of good pigs, and the cost is there, not less."
Because Lin Mo has missed the best time to make bacon, the pork is expensive, the materials are sufficient, plus labor costs, the cost of a pound of bacon is not less than twelve, and the sausage is about ten yuan. The old lady said that the price is already his Accept the bottom line.
"But your price is too expensive. Forget it, I'll take care of another house." The mother-in-law said he was going, but she was hesitant. She buys vegetables all the year round, and at a glance, she can see that Lin Mo's bacon sausage is indeed different from other homes. Just looking at that, she knows that it is enough.
Lin Mo opened the lunch box and arrived in front of her and said, "Mother-in-law, you are busy walking first, try our bacon first. After you taste it, you know that we haven't sold you expensive."
When the grandmother heard that there was free bacon to taste, she was so happy that she took a big one and bit her bite, and her expression changed instantly. When she subconsciously wanted to take the second piece, Lin Mo had already taken back the lunch box.
"Your sausage smells very fragrant, let me try it. I will buy some delicious things together."
Lin Mo laughed: "Okay."
After eating the sausage again, the old lady immediately bought two pieces of bacon and returned three pounds of sausage. She is a retired veteran and does not lack money, but she is afraid that Lin Mo ’s car does not sell ‘samples’ delicious, so she buys less and wants to go back and taste the taste first.
Going home at noon, she cut a piece of bacon, washed a few sausages and boiled it. After eating, she immediately asked her son to accompany her to buy it for dozens of pounds and come back for the New Year so that she could buy another big pig head. The mother-in-law just thought about the smell of the pig's head, and she could not help but rush out.
As a result, when she and her son arrived, there was still someone on the Lin Mo stand. When she asked the vegetable seller next to her, someone told her that the Lin Mojia bacon was not only sold out, but also had many reservations. She wanted to buy something, and she had to hurry early tomorrow. ## $ l & amp; & amp; ~ * _ * ~ & amp; & amp; l $ ## & lt; / p & gt;
