With the purchasing system in hand, he is worshipped as a god by international students

Early in the morning.

Qiu Ling took out the leftover chicken and chicken soup from last night and made a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup.

I don’t know if it’s because of the ginseng slices added to the chicken soup, but when Qiu Ling looked in the mirror, she inexplicably felt that her complexion was very rosy today.

She has fair skin, a pair of big watery eyes, rosy cheeks, and lips as moist as a peeled peach.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Qiu Ling reluctantly put down the mirror and went to open the gate.

Granny Wang and Aunt Guihua appeared at the door together, "Xiao Qiu, we are going to the countryside to buy local pork to make bacon and sausages, do you want to come?"

"Has it started so early?" Qiu Ling was still a little confused. It was already the end of the year without her realizing it?

"It's getting late. The Chinese New Year is only a month away. This year I have to make 200 kilograms of bacon and 200 kilograms of sausages. Chen Huan said he wanted to give some to the brothers in the team, so I have to prepare it quickly."

Aunt Guihua also said worriedly: "It's the same in my family. Wang He said that Yangcheng's bacon and sausage are specialties, so he asked me to buy some good meat and smoke it myself to give to customers. I also have 200 kilograms of meat as a base!

But I'm worried that sending bacon and sausages might seem a bit shabby."

"How could that be!" Qiu Ling frowned and retorted, "Yangcheng's bacon and sausages are famous, and the ones we make ourselves are even cleaner and more hygienic. It's not easy for outsiders to buy authentic ones."

"Really? Then I have to do a good job!" Aunt Guihua felt that Qiu Ling had traveled far and wide and was knowledgeable, so she believed in her words without a doubt.

Qiu Ling's words just now also made her think.

Almost every household in Guangzhou smokes this stuff, and it is a must-have for the Chinese New Year. It is even more famous throughout the country in later generations. Every year, people have to show off their homemade cured meat on certain platforms... You can definitely put it in the system and sell it.

Qiu Ling smiled and said, "I want to do it too. When are you going?"

"Leave now."

"Okay, let me change my clothes."

"..."

Qiu Ling drove a pickup truck, following Chen Huan's car, and after driving for more than an hour, they finally arrived at the county town where Grandma Wang's hometown was.

As soon as you enter here, you can see bacon and sausages hanging on the balconies of each household, crowded together like curtains.

Passing through the small county town, the car entered a wide dirt road.

After about seven or eight minutes, we entered a village.

The road into the village was bumpy, and the car finally stopped behind a red brick house.

“This is my hometown, and the red brick house is my brother’s house. Today is the best time to buy meat as everyone is slaughtering pigs for the New Year.

Most of the pigs in the village are raised for their own consumption, so the pork is good and you can buy it with confidence." Granny Wang said as she led the way.

There was no wall around the dam of the red brick and tile house, but there was a dog tied at the door.

When it sees someone coming, it barks, attracting the people in the house out.

"Sister! My nephew's wife is here too." Grandma Wang's younger brother came out to greet her with a smile and stomped his feet at the dog. When the dog saw its owner, it wagged its tail and stopped barking at the newcomer.

Grandma Wang’s younger brother doesn’t look much like Grandma Wang. I heard that one looks like the mother and the other looks like the father.

Grandma Wang exchanged pleasantries with my brother's family for a while, then got down to business.

In the village, many families have placed equipment in their dams, and white smoke is billowing into the sky.

Qiu Ling went along to select pigs. Those big fat piglets looked delicious!

It smells like a pigsty, a bit choking.

Soon, Qiu Ling chose her dream pig.

268 pounds, costing her 1474 yuan.

The owner of the big fat pig and a group of brothers started to boil water, sharpened the butcher knife with a grindstone, set up the butcher board, and prepared a large basin to hold the pig blood later...

The atmosphere of slaughtering the New Year pig suddenly became popular!

Everyone else went back into the room and closed the door to avoid being hit by the pigs.

Then six strong men went to the pigpen and dragged the pigs out. The pigs' screams echoed over the entire village.

After a shrill scream, the scene returned to calm.

The pig smell was a bit strong, so Qiu Ling hurried back to the car and sniffed some gardenia perfume to calm down.

Soon, the pig was slaughtered.

The owner of the little fat pig was dividing the meat into small pieces, and his wife wrote the names of different parts of the pork on plastic bags for easy packing.

This is a one-stop service, and they will help you wash the pig intestines.

The smell was so strong that Qiu Ling had no choice but to sneak away to watch Grandma Wang and Aunt Guihua buy meat.

The quantity they wanted was too large to be met by buying one or two pigs. They could only go door to door asking when others were slaughtering pigs, and then scrape together some money from here and there.

In the end, Aunt Guihua bought 180 kilograms of meat, and Grandma Wang only bought 300 kilograms, which was a bit insufficient. They both planned to go to the town’s vegetable market to buy some more to make up the number, and then keep it for themselves instead of giving it away.

After the meat is packed, it has to be carried to the side of the dirt road in a grand manner.

The trunk of Chen Huan's car was full of meat, but there was some extra space in Qiu Ling's car, so Old Man Wang went to cut some cypress branches and asked Grandma Wang and Aunt Guihua to take them back to smoke the meat.

It was already noon when we finished.

Old Man Wang’s wife prepared a pig-killing dish.

Qiu Ling also specially presented the large intestine and some internal organs of her own big fat pig.

Braised pork intestines, stir-fried pork liver with pickled peppers, spicy and sour pork with red peppers, twice-cooked pork with sharp peppers, shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried lotus root, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and refreshing and greasy radish soup.

The table is full and smells delicious!

The pork raised at home has no fishy or smelly taste at all. Qiu Ling can eat a few pieces of the glutinous fat meat in the twice-cooked pork. The pig blood is as tender as tofu, which is completely incomparable to the cold duck blood used in hot pot in later generations!

Not to mention the pork liver and pig intestines, in two words, delicious!

After a full meal and some chatting, they were ready to leave.

It’s best to marinate the meat this afternoon while it’s still fresh.

Qiu Ling is fine, but Grandma Wang and Aunt Guihua have a heavier workload.

When leaving, Old Man Wang also gave away some vegetables that he grew himself. They couldn't fit in the trunk, so he had to stuff them into the back seat of the car.

Now Grandma Wang and Aunt Guihua had no choice but to ride in Qiu Ling's pickup truck.

Shangtang Street.

After the meat was divided up, each family went back to work.

Qiu Ling still had goods to collect in the afternoon, but sausage stuffing and smoking were extremely time-consuming, and she had no time to do them. So she asked Grandma Wang and Aunt Guihua which restaurant made the best bacon and sausages.

“You can go ask Sister Hong first,” Aunt Guihua recommended.

Grandma Wang also nodded. "Her mother used to smoke bacon and sausages for others, but she stopped because she got sick. Xiaohong inherited her skills. The bacon and sausages she makes taste really good. We can't even make them taste that way!"

Grandma Wang and Aunt Guihua would definitely not lie to me.

They are all from Guangzhou and their tastes are similar. They all highly recommend it, so it must be good.

Qiu Ling immediately took the money, but felt it was not enough, so she picked up a three-pound piece of pork belly and fresh ribs and went to Sister Hong's store.

Aunt Hong was in the store, knitting a sweater.

Hearing footsteps, he greeted without even looking up: "Take whatever you want to buy. The prices are on the shelf below."

Qiu Ling walked up to her and said, "Aunt Hong, it's me."

Hearing the voice, Aunt Hong guessed who the person was. She raised her head with a smile, and suddenly saw the meat and fresh steak in Qiu Ling's hands. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"I heard that Aunt Hong is the best at making bacon and sausages in the whole Shangtang Street, so I would like to ask you for a favor." Qiu Ling started by giving a little flattery.

I thought it was something else, it's just here?

Aunt Hong said generously, "Just these two pieces of meat? No problem, you stay here. My family will start smoking bacon in the next two days. I will make it for you then."

Aunt Hong knew that her mother liked to collect paper shells and mineral water bottles from everywhere. Qiu Ling was also thoughtful and always left these things to her mother. With her kindness, she did her job well.
