Chapter 47 Smoked bacon

The aunt handed Xue Ning the one dollar and fifty cents she had taken out in advance, "Okay, if your loquat cake can really cure coughs, I will buy it from you in the future."

"good."

After the aunt left, several more women came over and surrounded Xue Ning.

"Can eating walnuts really help strengthen the brain?" asked an aunt.

"Well, there is no harm in eating more." Xue Ning replied.

"Then give me a pound, too. My son has a hard time studying, so I'll buy some to replenish his brain."

"I want half a catty."

"I want a pound."

Soon, the five kilograms of loquat cakes in Xue Ning's basket were bought by the enthusiastic aunts and ladies.

It only took about half an hour, and the results were pretty good.

Many people who did not buy the loquat cake were very disappointed, and they all made an appointment with Xue Ning to sell it to them first next time.

Xue Ning himself was not sure what he would sell next time, so he did not agree to these aunts and ladies. He just said that if he comes again in the future, he will let it go.

After walking out of the textile factory, Xue Ning found a place to take off the straw hat and scarf.

I sorted through the pocket money I earned again.

In half an hour, she made a total of 8 yuan. In fact, she can say that she made a net profit this time. After all, she didn't spend money to buy the loquats and walnuts, and only spent a little labor cost on them.

8 yuan is a lot of money in this era. With the average urban worker earning 20 yuan a month, 8 yuan can be worth half a month's salary for those people.

Xue Ning made money through her own efforts for the first time, and she felt particularly accomplished.

I took the money and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I bought some rice, white flour and peanut oil, added some seasonings to my home, and then went to the meat store.

The most popular item in a meat shop is the big fat meat. Almost as soon as the meat is taken out, it is sold out immediately.

The most leftover items are pig offal and pork bones. Those big bones with no meat or only a little meat attached to the bone are very disliked by people.

The main reason is that there is no meat left to cook and it is useless. No one likes this kind of thing.

Xue Ning doesn't mind it, she quite likes chewing big bones.

I asked about the price of bones and ribs, and they were surprisingly cheap.

Big bones only cost 5 cents per pound, and ribs are slightly more expensive at 15 cents per pound.

This kind of price is simply surprising, isn't it?

Xue Ning directly bought all the bones and ribs in the store.

The bones totaled 50 kilograms and cost two and a half yuan.

The ribs weighed 30 kilograms and cost 4.5 yuan.

All these items together only cost seven yuan. Xue Ning felt like he had found a treasure.

After shopping, I was ready to go home.

However, it was unrealistic for her to walk back with so many things, so she found a bullock cart and gave her a dime to help carry it back.

It was only noon when she got home, and Xue Ning was sweating all over.

I didn't have time to take a shower yet, so when I got home, I poured a glass of cold water, drank it, and started processing the ingredients I bought.

All the meat, rice, flour, oil and condiments cost her a total of 10 yuan.

In other words, after she earned eight yuan, she not only failed to save a penny, but also spent two yuan on her capital. She had the illusion that she was a prodigal.

But not all the things she bought were for food. She planned to make all the ribs into cured ribs and sell them.

The cured pork ribs are not only delicious but also last a long time, so she doesn’t need to worry about them going bad.

Put all the ribs and big bones in a basin, then sprinkle a layer of salt on top and marinate.

During the pickling time, Xue Ning went to the yard and unloaded all the firewood brought back from the mountain yesterday. This cart belonged to the carpenter's house, so she had to return it!

She piled all the firewood in the corner, went back to the room, took eight yuan and put it in her pocket, then pushed the cart to the carpenter's house.

The carpenter's family was having dinner at this time, and the whole family was sitting under the eaves to rest.

Xue Ning returned the cart and handed eight yuan to Carpenter Liu.

Carpenter Liu was polite and accepted the money.

Xue Ning didn't stay long, said thank you and went home.

It was midday, when the sun was at its strongest. Xue Ning didn't do much work after returning home. He planned to go to the mountains to get some cypress leaves and smoke the ribs when the sun went down.

Don’t keep the big bones at home for too long. On such a hot day, the meat will go bad overnight, so you have to eat it as soon as possible.

However, there were fifty kilograms of bones, and she couldn't eat them all at once. The best way was to smoke the bones into bacon.

At present, this is the only method that can ensure that the meat will not go bad to the greatest extent.

Xue Ning took out a few tube bones, washed them, put them into a casserole and simmered them slowly. She was going to make a pot of soup. She would use such a pot of soup base when making noodles. It would taste absolutely delicious.

While the bones were slowly simmering on the stove, Xue Ning went to take a cold shower. After her body felt refreshed, she climbed into bed and prepared to take a nap.

When I woke up, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Xue Ning rubbed his eyes, got out of bed and went to the kitchen.

The broth on the stove has become thick and white, and the bones and the meat on them will fall off when poked, and the bones and flesh have been separated.

Xue Ning was a little hungry at this time, so he got a bone stick and ate it.

Without delaying after eating, we went to the mountain to get some cypress branches to smoke bacon.

The bacon smoked from cypress branches has an authentic taste.

There were a lot of cypress trees on the mountain. It took Xue Ning half an hour to get a big bundle.

When I got home, I didn’t dare to be idle, so I started setting up a place for smoking bacon in the yard.

Everything was done and the ribs and bones were smoked, but Xue Ning was about to collapse from exhaustion.

Although bacon is delicious, the smoking process is also very painful.

The smoking time must be at least one day and one night, and it must not be left alone, otherwise it will catch fire and burn the meat, which will be more than worth the loss.

Fortunately, Xue Ning doesn't have to work tomorrow, so she doesn't plan to sleep tonight.

While the bacon was being smoked, Xue Ning went to the kitchen to make a bowl of hand-made noodles.

The soft and chewy hand-made noodles are paired with thick soup made from big bones. They are delicious and delicious.

She felt it was a pity that if Mu Chenghe didn't reject her, she would have given such delicious food to Mu Chenghe.

That stinky man just has no luck.

Xue Ning cursed in his heart. I like the group pet of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao makes the heart of a rough guy tremble. Please save it: (https://www.xbiquge.site) The group pet of the era, Xiao Jiaojiao makes the heart of a rough guy tremble. Search Novel Network
