"Could it be you who caught this?" Yu Sheng still couldn't believe that the little roe deer in the forest would foolishly run into the tribe, and was so strong that he crashed to death on the big rock that he pressed the animal skin tent.

Mo Qi turned around Yu Sheng pretending to be relaxed, and finally jumped into Yu Sheng's arms, rolled into a cat ball, and let out a soft "meow".

Yu Sheng looked down at the black cat ball in his arms, those big round and innocent eyes seemed to say to him: "I am such a small cat, how can I catch such a big prey?"

"Cunning thing." Yu Sheng flicked the forehead of his own black goods, no matter whether it was made by it or not, its eyes showed an undisguised desire for roe deer meat.

"Want to eat meat?" Yu Sheng began to reflect on whether he had failed too much, letting black people follow him to be a vegetarian every day, eating so much that his eyes glowed green when he saw the meat.

"Miwu!" What should I put...the cumin kind!Mo Qi jumped off Yu Sheng, hopped to the jar where the cumin was stored, pressed the pink meat pad on the jar, and signaled for this.

Ever since he ate barbecue with cumin before, Mo Qi has become a little addicted to the smell.

This guy is getting more and more lazy to hide his shrewdness and thieves.Yu Sheng shook his head helplessly, followed the "instructions" of the cat owner, and roasted part of the little roe deer.

After all, they only have one person and one cat, so they can't eat a whole head, and roasting it all is a waste.

Winter is coming, when the animals hibernate, hunting will be more difficult, and food acquisition will become a big problem, so the orc hunting team in the tribe will work extra hard during this time, wanting to get more prey, and then make it into jerky, Help the tribe survive this winter.

However, due to the limitations of cooking techniques, the jerky baked by these primitive beasts can only be stored for more than a month at most. Usually, half of the winter is over, and many jerky have turned green and long hairs and cannot be eaten.For the remaining half of the time, everyone can only endure hunger and resign themselves to fate.

The relatives or friends who could greet you a few days ago died silently in winter because of hunger and weakness. This is the cruelest thing, but it is also the reality that every primitive beast star has to face.The harsh living environment and low productivity make them run around almost every day for food, clothing and survival.

Yu Sheng felt that the taste of jerky was too dry and hard, even if it was boiled, it would be hard to swallow. As a modern person who pays special attention to diet, this is unacceptable, so he wanted to try to make some bacon, which is convenient for storage , and has a different flavor.And if the bacon is stored properly, it will be fine for more than three months, which is enough for the winter.

The remaining roe deer meat after roasting is his test product.

Yu Sheng first used a small fire to burn off the small stubble on the roe deer skin, so as not to affect the taste later.It doesn’t need to be too mushy, just slightly charred, which can reduce the fat content of the skin and taste more delicious.

Afterwards, Yu Sheng scraped off the slightly burnt place, and cut the meat into long and thin strips of suitable size.This is very particular, can not be cut too thick, can not be cut too thin.If it is too thick, it is not easy to pickle and taste, the taste is not good, and the storage time is not up to standard.If it is too thin, the bacon will be dry and woody, and the smoked meat will be too old and lack the taste.

Many spices used in making bacon in modern times have not been found by Yu Sheng, so I can only make a simple version, marinate it with salt, a few dried spices, and the honey sent by Husi.I am ashamed to say that after the little salt left in his pot has cured the roe deer meat, there will be nothing left. It is estimated that before the tribe divides the salt next time, he and the black goods will have to rely on the white wolf for their living salt. The family helped out.

Yu Sheng crushed the marinade, spread it evenly on the meat strips, massaged and kneaded, so that the meat could better absorb the seasoning.The marinating time should not be too short, three to four days.When modern people make bacon, they usually put it in the refrigerator. Now the conditions here are too bad, and there is no way to put it in the refrigerator. Fortunately, it is almost the end of autumn, and the temperature is quite low. In addition, a lot of salt is used, so it can be marinated for three or four days. no problem.

During this period of time, the weather was pretty good, the sky was clear, and there were almost no rainy days. It was a godsend, and it would be a waste not to make bacon.

After marinating, Yu Sheng went to the forest to pick up a lot of dry fruit tree branches, smoked them over a low fire, and roasted them slowly at low temperature.Fruit wood bacon will give the smoked bacon a unique aroma and a better flavor.

When the meat is smoked, the fat of the bacon slowly flows along the meat strips. The light yellow/colored clear fat, with the fragrance of fat and fruit wood, gathers at the bottom of the meat strips, and finally falls into the fire below. Burned at high temperature, the burnt fragrance is overflowing.

That craving, oh no, the smell of cats aroused Mo Qi to walk around the fire every day, just wanting to kiss the fragrance of bacon as soon as possible.

"Meow meow meow meow!" When can I eat it?Mo Qi successfully became the supervisor of meat-watching stone, watching the progress of smoked bacon every day.

After three days, under the uninterrupted smoking and roasting, the bacon showed an orange-red color, with a seductive oily luster on it. Yu Sheng twisted a few thin but strong straw ropes, and hung the meat in the tent. In front of a big hole.

"Well, it's quite suitable. It can be hung in a ventilated place and can keep out the wind." Yu Sheng is quite satisfied with the position he chose. Of course, the most important thing is that it is high enough that his cat can't reach it.

Mo Qi was very dissatisfied with this. After waiting for almost a week, he didn't even give him a taste.

After a few days of smoked bacon here, people in the tribe smelled the meat for a few days. Someone came over to ask, "Yusheng, what are you doing here? Why do you keep smoking and doing this?" fragrant?"

Yu Sheng didn't respond positively, but just smiled, saying that he had a new inspiration under the teaching of the Dawu, and was trying a method that would allow the meat to be stored for a longer period of time without being as unpalatable as jerky.

Those who have tried Yusheng are all looking forward to it, and sincerely hope that Yusheng will succeed, so that they will have another practical and delicious dish.In terms of cooking, Yu Sheng never kept secrets, which also made his reputation in the tribe soar, Die Chi and the others hated it.

After hanging the bacon, Yu Sheng cut a little bit and tasted the taste. I feel that it is not bad in general. It’s just that I didn’t know the amount of salt because I made it for the first time. It’s too salty, but the effect is not big, it’s a big deal They are all used for stewing soup, and the salt is saved.

He cut a small piece of bacon and sliced ​​it into thin slices. The meat of the smoked bacon is firm and tough, and even the skin and fat parts that some people don't like are no longer difficult to swallow, but they are easy to swallow. Different flavors.

The inherent flavor of the bacon is enough, there is no need to add anything else, Yu Sheng simply stewed a pot of bacon soup, filled with a lot of self-grown vegetables, and then went to his nominal master—Da Wu’s Tent, invite him over.

"What new discoveries did the messenger have?" The blue-eyed witch knew that Yu Sheng would come to the door easily, since he was looking for him, he must have made a new discovery.

"Um... Great witch, you should just call me by my name. It's awkward for an emissary to come and go, and it's easy to become suspicious if someone else hears it." Offer up.

"I listen to the messenger... Yusheng you."

"Da Wu, how would you like the soup I made?"
