"All of them are made into bacon? You can finish eating so much?" my uncle asked in surprise.

"Half bacon and half sausage.

I didn't eat so much meat myself.

Keep some of them yourself, and entertain guests in the future and occasionally satisfy your cravings.

Most of them are prepared for friends.

I have many friends, and I can only share a few thousand kilograms of pork, but I can’t share a lot of houses.” Zhang Yan explained with a smile.

Making bacon is a solution that Zhang Yan has figured out in the past few days.

I originally planned to secretly store thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms of pork in the inventory, but the system accepted the opinions of many handsome readers, and no longer rewarded the bills, but changed to physical rewards.

In this way, if you buy food through your uncle, there is no need to eat meat.

However, the words have been said, so I have to complete this transaction first.

Just so I can make thousands of kilograms of bacon, which can be used as a gift at the end of the year, and I can keep a part of it and eat it slowly.

The method of making bacon in the north and bacon in the south is different.

Southern bacon is usually made with salt and air-dried, or smoked.

As for the northern bacon, the first step is to apply salt.

The second step is different. You must first place it in a jar and marinate for about seven days, then take it out and hang it in a sunny and ventilated place outside, and dry it for three or four days.

In the south, most bacon is hung for a long time to store, but after drying in the north, it must be packed and sealed.

Because the climate in the north is dry, if it is not sealed and stored in time, the bacon may be completely dehydrated and turned into bacon stone.

Of course, this is the most common and simplest way to make it, and there are some more complex methods, such as adding pepper and star anise when marinating with salt, which makes it more delicious.

The bacon made is turned into five-spice bacon.

"Okay, after I go back, I will ask your beauties and the others to start making bacon and sausages.

There are so many things, but I have to do it for a while." When my uncle heard that he was preparing for his friend, he stopped talking.

"Uncle, you can buy a whole pig and kill it yourself. Make good meat and bacon sausages, and make some blood sausages or something.

Other pig heads, ribs, leg bones and pigs are stored, so you can keep them for eating.

Just treat it as reward for you." Zhang Yan continued.

"How can I finish eating this!"

"Eat slowly, don't worry about it being broken this day." Zhang Yan said with a smile.

The winter of this era is much colder than the winter of later generations.

In later generations, there were not many times when it was completely sub-zero, and in this era, early winter, that is, November of the Gregorian calendar, the temperature was several degrees below zero.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the average temperature was around minus ten degrees Celsius.

When the wind blew, it cut out small bloody mouths on the face and hands like a knife.

Basically, the temperature difference is not much from the later generations of Northeast Liaoning.

There is no need to worry about the meat breaking in winter, and it is a natural refrigerator outdoors.

He took his uncle to the station, bought him a ticket, and delivered it to the train, and Zhang Yancai rode his bicycle back to the infirmary.

"How is it? I'm not here during this period, are there any patients?"

"There was an external trauma and the palm was scratched. I debride, suture and bandage him." Zhao Shenglihui reported.

"Yeah!" Zhang Yan nodded, picked up the teacup, and brewed a cup of tea again.

Then start reading and studying.

The afternoon was good, and there were not many patients, so Zhang Yan could read and study quietly.

Although Zhang Yan's harvest was also very good when there were patients, the system now gave him great rewards.

However, in comparison, Zhang Yan still likes the days without patients.

Full, yet quiet.

Can study happily.

He is a person who loves learning, not a plain person who simply pursues systematic rewards.

As get off work was about to get off work, Qian Hongying and Liang Yan and other girls suddenly came to the infirmary.

"Why are you here?"

“We went out shopping in the afternoon and just came back.

Brother Zhang, this is my gift for you!" Qian Hongying took out a pair of leather gloves and handed it to Zhang Yan.

"Brother Zhang, this is mine!" Liang Yan took out a leather baseball cap with fur inside.

"Brother Zhang, this is mine!" Xiao Li took out a white scarf knitted with wool.

"Brother Zhang, this is mine!" Xiao Yuan took out an earmuff and said embarrassedly.

Her things are the least valuable, so she feels a little embarrassed.

"Oh, you are going shopping and you are still thinking about giving me a gift!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, you ride a bicycle to and from get off work every day. Now it's getting colder, so the four of us discussed and bought you these things so that you won't be colder when you get off work in the morning and evening." Liang Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Zhang Yan took the gift with a smile.

Girls are meticulous and thoughtful.

The gloves are made of sheepskin, and the ones with fur inside are so you can tell that they are very warm.

Baseball caps are a very popular hat in this era. They look much better than big-ear caps, but they are not as warm as big-ear caps.

However, the gifts from the four people gathered together, perfectly solving this problem.

It's both stylish and warm.

In fact, his success in writing books has made his physical fitness several times that of ordinary people, and his resistance to cold is several times that of ordinary people.

Although it cannot achieve the insemination of cold and heat in martial arts novels, this day, even if you wear a velvet coat, you won’t feel cold.

Although he is not afraid of the cold, Zhang Yan still happily accepted the feelings of Qian Hongying and the other four girls.

"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much.

To express our gratitude, we will call your sister-in-law tonight and let’s go eat mutton together!” Zhang Yan said with a smile.

The four little girls prepared cold-proof items so thoughtfully, how could he ask for their things for nothing?

I happened to take this opportunity to introduce them to Tong Mei.

"Okay! OK!

I have long wanted to eat mutton hotpot, but it is too expensive and I am reluctant to eat it." Xiao Li agreed excitedly.

Xiao Li and Liang Yan only earn more than ten yuan a month, so they naturally don’t want to eat mutton hotpot.

A meal can take half a month's salary.

"You have eaten open today to make it a great time for you to have a good meal."

"Brother Zhang, it's too expensive to eat in a restaurant. Otherwise, we can buy mutton and go home to eat it, which will be much cheaper." Xiao Yuan suggested.

"It's better for us, Xiao Yuan, to live a life, so let's follow Xiao Yuan's advice and go home to eat.

I will buy mutton first and dip sauce, and you will then go to my house.

Do you know where I live?" Zhang Yan glanced at the dozens of pounds of mutton in his inventory, nodded and smiled.

"I know!" Liang Yan and Xiao Li nodded.

They all knew that Zhang Yan lived at Tong Mei's house. Tong Mei was a celebrity in Xicheng District and knew where she lived.

"Okay, you guys go there yourself, I'll take the lead." After Zhang Yan said that, he picked up the hats and gloves given by Qian Hongying and the others.

Dress well.

"It's really warm. With these equipment, it won't be cold even in the twelfth lunar month." Zhang Yan praised with a smile.

Leaving the infirmary on a bicycle.

I rode my bicycle to Liubiju, Dashilan, and bought sesame paste, leek sauce, fermented tofu, sugar and garlic and other things to make dipping sauces.

By the way, I bought a copper hotpot of cloisonné and some charcoal.

I first bought a few sheep bones, then turned into an alley where no one was around, took out ten kilograms of lamb and five kilograms of beef from the system inventory, and carefully wrapped them with oil paper prepared in advance.

In this era, there were no plastic bags, and meat was basically wrapped in oil paper.

Of course, raw meat is rarely wrapped in oil paper, and most of them are wrapped in oil paper only if cooked meat is wrapped in oil paper.

Raw meat is usually directly covered with hemp rope and lotus leaves. First wrap the meat with lotus leaves, and then tie one end with hemp rope, so that you can carry it and not be contaminated by the dust on the road.

Zhang Yan used oil paper, mainly carrying ten kilograms of mutton and five kilograms of beef home, which was too eye-catching.
