The next day, He Fanke pulled the third brother up without any courtesy.
There are also hundreds of Qinghe pig trotters waiting to be pickled!
The production process of authentic Spanish ham is complicated, including fermentation, smoking and air-drying. In short, the craftsmanship is very delicate!
However, curing ham in the countryside is no different from curing bacon. Just put a few layers of salt on it and it¡¯s done.
However, the method of applying salt is a little bit particular. You have to feel all the salt and penetrate it into the meat to prevent the meat inside from rotting.
Salt is the key to keeping ham from spoiling.
He Fan is also confident that the meat quality of his Qinghe pig can produce the best finished product even with the simplest craftsmanship!
But neither He Fan nor Lin Guo knew anything about this method.
Fortunately, there are still parents at home. These two elders are the absolute authority in curing ham and bacon.
Naturally, the two elders took matters into their own hands. The main task of He Fan, Lin Guo and the others was to go up the mountain to search for smoked ingredients!
"If this bacon is dried by air alone, the taste will be too simple. It needs to be placed in a special room. A charcoal fire is lit below to burn sugarcane peels, orange peels and other things.
These are the smoked ingredients!
These smoked materials will be burned into particles and adhere to the hams. Over time, they will automatically penetrate into the hams, adding a lot of flavor to the hams!
There are over a hundred hooves here, and the fumigation materials needed are not small. Therefore, He Fan and Lin Guo are each equipped with a hatchet and rope.
When the time comes, you have to go up the mountain to cut down some pine and cypress wood and carry it back in bundles. To smoke the ham, you have to use the pine and cypress wood to light it.
When pine and cypress wood are burned, they have a unique pine aroma, which is perfect for these cured meats!
He Fan took a few guys up the mountain, and Da Huang followed happily. This guy hadn't gone up the mountain for a while. As for Xiao Jin, naturally he wouldn't be alone.
The task this time is simple. Pine and cypress trees are everywhere on the mountain. There is no need to search deliberately. You can find quite a few by just walking a few steps.
¡° Moreover, they are all good materials with thick trunks. Soon, under the leadership of He Fan, the brothers each obtained a bundle of pine and cypress wood for fuel.
But this is not enough. In addition to pine and cypress wood, there are many natural aromatic materials in the mountains and forests, which can be used to smoke cured meat.
Therefore, He Fan also planned to search again.
"Dahuang, go and clear the way!"
The mountains behind this mountain are extremely dense, and the trees inside are all growing like crazy. Sometimes, you just walked through it a few days ago and found a way. It may take a few days, ten days and a half to When I came back, I couldn't find them anymore. They were all covered by nearby shrubs and weeds!
Therefore, even He Fan may not be able to recognize the entire road behind the mountain.
But with Dahuang, it¡¯s different. This guy is walking on equal ground here and there.
????????????????? And look at how brave this guy is, he¡¯s made of steel and iron, and with his huge size and weight, he can even overwhelm many low shrubs and forcefully carve out a path when he steps into those bushes!
He Fan and the others can just follow and be done, and they don't have to waste energy on using a hatchet to open the way.
¡°Great rhubarb!¡±
Looking at Dahuang¡¯s heroic appearance, Lin Guo and the three people behind him were also filled with admiration.
The brothers followed Rhubarb and opened roads in the mountains. After wandering and searching for a while, even He Fan didn't know where Rhubarb had been brought to the brothers. However, there was really something to gain!
As soon as he stepped out of a bush, He Fan smelled a pungent smell in his nose.
It has a somewhat similar taste to ordinary coriander and celery sticks.
But they are not the same, but the same strong and pungent smell, the aroma is obviously coming from some kind of plant!
"What makes it smell so strong?"
"Don't tell me that although the smell is strong, there is still some strange fragrance in it if you smell it carefully."
"It's true! Fatty, I smell it too."
Lin Guo and the other two people also smelled the smell and were mumbling.
As expected, after He Fan glanced around, he found a large cluster of green plants next to an open space ahead.
He Fan also recognized this plant - Artemisia annua??
The shape of fragrant grass is in clusters, with branches and leaves densely distributed in a symmetrical shape, and the overall color is extremely green. The smell that He Fan and Lin Guo just smelled was exactly emitted by this fragrant grass.
At the moment, He Fan walked over, squatted down and picked up the wormwood growing in clusters:
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there is such a piece of wild wormwood growing here. Don¡¯t be stunned and pick it all up quickly. It¡¯s also good to use it as smoked ham!¡±
Usually Actuament, although not a rare thing, there are growth in the field of rural roads on the roadside roads. He Fan still thought, and went back to Tianyu to find it.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: I encountered such a cluster of wild wormwood in this deep mountain, and saved myself the trouble of spending more time.
Although the three Lin Guo people at the back couldn't stand the smell of the fragrant wormwood, they could only pinch their noses due to He Fan's power.
Although the smell of wormwood is pungent, it is suitable for smoking bacon. The pungent smell can neutralize the decadent smell in the bacon. After being absorbed by the bacon or ham, the pungent smell will also change. It has to be softened and turned into a light fragrance.
Experienced people in the countryside, in addition to pine and cypress wood, will always use this fragrant wormwood to smoke bacon!
"Let's work together! Go back to my islands and pick some spices to use for smoked ham!"
In the new area of ????Hefan Fishing Ground, on the islands where spices grow, cinnamon, cloves and the like can also add a bit of flavor to the cured meat when thrown into the charcoal fire.
After picking the entire cluster of wormwood, Lin Guo and the other three smelled the lingering smell on their hands and shouted:
"Brothers, hurry up and find a place with water. Let us wash our hands. This smell is too strong!"
¡°It¡¯s true that ugly people often cause mischief, but you guys really sound delicate!¡±
After He Fan cursed, he ordered Dahuang:
"Listen, please find a place with water for these gentlemen!"
Following He Fan¡¯s instructions, Dahuang jumped out with Xiaojin riding on his back, galloping in one direction without looking back.
Behind him, He Fan and his brothers naturally followed quickly!
There is really no shortage of water sources in the deep mountains and old forests of this endless stretch of mountains. In some special terrains, such as where a mountain spring flows, a mini stream will appear.
In some low-lying areas, a lot of rainwater will accumulate on rainy days.
These water sources have also become the source of life for countless living creatures in the entire mountain range. However, if ordinary people step in, it will be difficult to find them if they are not lucky!
But with rhubarb here, this problem does not exist at all.
There is no place in the surrounding mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles that Uncle Dahuang doesn¡¯t know about!
As expected, after the brothers followed Dahuang for a while, they soon saw a water source.
The terrain of this place is low-lying, surrounded by several hills. It is rare to find such a small flat land in the middle, so the rainwater on rainy days and the springs from several surrounding mountain streams gather here, forming a swamp. A wetland-like area!
There are many plants growing chaotically inside, which is really strange.
In this mountain, there is a land where aquatic plants grow, which is a wonder!
Because there are no human traces to set foot in, basically some nearby animals have stepped in, and there is no pollution. Therefore, the water in this swamp wetland looks very clear and clean, which is valuable. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
