A thunderous thought flashed through Ye Xi's mind.

Damn, these Jiuyi people, shouldn't they use the pine branches of Qinglusong in the bacon? !

After passing through a few stone houses, and then around the prehistoric prehistoric crocodile lizard that stood still in the road like a fossil, a circular building much larger than the ordinary stone house of Jiuyi people appeared in front of Ye Xi.

"Laoyan! Laoyan! We brought our guests here!"

Before people arrived, the enthusiastic Jiuyi fighters around them spoke loudly, yelling at the front in a rough voice.

Lu Xiaohehe said to Ye Xi, "That's it!"

Ye Xi nodded and looked at the residence of "Lao Yan".

There are three characteristics of this residence. One is the shape. He had never seen a house in Jiuyi piled up in the shape of a yurt before.

The second is independence. There is not a single stone hut within 100 meters.

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

Different from the rough barrier method of the stone house, the two walls use a translucent, unknown adhesive, which looks very strong.

A group of people walked to the entrance of the yard mightily.

Standing at the entrance of the yard, you can see that there are many tall wooden shelves in the yard, and the bright red, well-textured huge hind legs are hung in the air by thin straw ropes, densely densely packed and quite spectacular.

On the ground, there are rows of rectangular fire stoves built with stones. Inside the fire stoves are charred black charcoal burning sparks. On top of them are clear dew pine branches. White smoke constantly evaporates from the pine branches and drifts away mysteriously Around the hind leg meat.

The crystal salt grains rubbed on the hind leg meat were gradually melted by the smoke and heat, and all penetrated into the texture of the meat.

The golden grease dripped down.

"Stab!"

The grease dripped onto the charcoal fire, and a twisty white smoke with a strong aroma emerged.

The Jiuyi warriors who were still noisy suddenly became quiet, staring at the ham meat with all their eyes, licking their lips with their tongues from time to time, their apples were rolling up and down, and the saliva seemed to be flowing down.

After a while.

"Oh, you really can't come to Laoyan! This fragrance is really tormenting!"

A soldier said bitterly, "I don't know when my ham will be ready. It has been a long time!"

The bald warrior next to him replied with a sigh, "Stop talking, I'm with you, my ham is still a month away, and yours is almost the same..."

"Forget it, I really suffer from not being able to eat ham, I'm leaving now!"

"I'm leaving too!"

"I want to stay here... No way, no way, it tastes too uncomfortable, let me go too, go back and roast him 50 catties of meat to relieve the greedy!

Most of the people left at once.

Ye Xi laughed and laughed.

He finally understood why there were no stone houses within 100 meters around here, and feelings couldn't stand the smell of smoked ham! People in Jiuyi who love to eat can smell it but can’t eat it. It’s not uncomfortable to stay away!

Lu led Ye Xi through the ham formation in the yard and into the big stone house.

This yurt-shaped stone house has no windows. It is different from the bright sun outside. The inside is dark and the temperature difference between inside and outside is very large. As soon as you walk in, you will feel a chill.

Ye Xi cast his eyes to the left.

On his left hand is a large rock platform.

The color of the rock platform is the same as the light in the room, and it is jet black. A one-eyed veteran soldier with a skin like withered tree bark is rubbing fresh hind legs in the dark with salt.

From time to time, he grabbed a handful of salt crystals from the big stone bowl and sprinkled them evenly on the hind legs like snowflakes, and then repeatedly rubbed them until the salt was rubbed into the hind legs.

Ye Xi focused on the salt crystals in the stone bowl.

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

Lu Xing rushed to the veteran soldier: "Lao Yan, my ham should be all right?!"

The veteran soldier named Lao Yan stopped his movements and glanced at them with the one-eyed eye of the yin bird, without saying a word.

Lu didn't care, patted Ye Xi's shoulder and said, "Axi, it's no wonder this Lao Yan doesn't like to talk. Even if you hit him with a stick, you won't hear a cry! Haha!"

"But, the ham made by Laoyan is really delicious!"

"If you want to eat ham, in addition to paying enough money, you have to bring good hind legs and a few catties of dew pine branches, otherwise you won’t have to eat it! Besides, you have to wait patiently for a few months, otherwise you won’t get it. eat!"

"And everyone can only order one piece of ham each year. Hey, if you want to eat ham, you have to wait for a year. This Lao Yan has beast cores and doesn't make money... What a shame, what a shame!

Ye Xi smiled to Ludao: "Making ham is very complicated. I heard that it takes five steps of salting, smoking, drying, fermentation and drying~lightnovelpub.net~ If one step is not done, the quality of ham It will decline. I think Lao Yan doesn't want to make more ham, but he is afraid of doing it badly!"

Lao Yan glanced at Ye Xi again, but still did not speak.

Lu touched his belly, and wondered: "Salted, smoked, dried, fermented, and dried? Hey, it seems that Axi knows ham very well. I probably know this salted, smoked, dried, dried, but fermented What is it for?"

Ye Xi was stunned: "Uh..."

He was still thinking about how to explain it. Lu had already abandoned the question over there, speaking with a loud voice, and shouting to Lao Yan impatiently: "I said Lao Yan, what are you doing in a daze? Get my ham out quickly! I want to invite my brother to have a taste, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

After shouting, he wiped the saliva that overflowed from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Ye Xi: "..."

Lao Yan glanced at Lu, immersed his hands with salt grains in the water tank, then turned around and went into another room without saying a word.

Lu was still worried, and urged in the back like a Hong Zhong: "Hurry up!"

After a while, Lao Yan came back with a three-meter-long ham that looked like a hundred kilograms. The surface of the ham was brown, covered with white mycelium, and it was hard.

Lu Xizi took it with both hands, looked at it repeatedly, and said, "Yes, this is my leg! Lao Yan, although you are older, your brain is really good! You still remember this leg after so long. its mine!"

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

After all, in Ye Xi’s shocked eyes, Lu held the two ends of the big ham in both hands, cracked the big bones inside with a creak, and then used brute force to give the red ham inside. Ripped apart.

After tossing half of the ham to Ye Xi, he made a loud noise and couldn't wait to take a bite.

"good to eat!!"
