A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband
Chapter 164: Smoked Meat Place
Shen Wu first went to look at the dried fish that had been dried previously. Her method of simply marinating and removing the fishy smell and then directly drying it in the sun was convenient, but since it was her first time making it, she was afraid of making mistakes, so she looked over here as soon as she came back.
Fortunately, dozens of fish were lying obediently on the bamboo frame. The part facing the sky was already a little dry. Shen Wu washed his hands and turned over the dried fish with the heads removed. Because the fish had been simply processed, marinated and cut in half, the drying speed would not be slow.
After turning over all the fish, she washed her hands and went to the firewood shed where the bamboo shoots were drying.
After being dried in the sun for a day or two, the bamboo shoots had become as dry as wood, but the thick parts of the large pieces were still a little soft. Shen Wu turned them over and let them dry for a few more days.
When she came back and went to the fields, she found that the millet had grown almost to the height of her calves. She had never grown this before and didn't know if it could be planted in this season, but since Gu Zhou said it was okay, she didn't think too much about it.
When she came back, she first divided the lard and pork belly. Since she bought so much meat, she planned to eat some first and make the rest into smoked bacon.
There are too many trees that can be cut down in the mountains, and some meat is needed for the health of the children in winter. Although she has never made bacon, she is an old aunt who has been engaged in farming and making a living for many years. Although she has never been able to eat pork, she has learned about it because her family wants to eat it. It just so happens that she has watched the video of smoked bacon countless times.
She knows not only about smoked bacon, but also smoked fish, smoked meat and many other smoked products. She actually wanted to make smoked fish at first but didn't want to do it because of the trouble, so she just dried the caught fish. But when she was at the market, she changed her mind. She still had to make smoked meat, otherwise there would be few vegetables in winter. Would she have to make pasta for the children every day?
The matter of smoking bacon was actually a bit urgent, but there was no place to smoke it at home. Shen Wu walked around the yard for several times and took a fancy to the place where chickens were raised on the left side of the gate.
She now has two pheasants, one male and one female, with clipped tail feathers tied up there. She has provided them with delicious food these days except for the lack of grain at home, but the two chickens have never shown any intention of getting along with each other, and they rarely crow.
She thought she should get some bran and mix it with some old grains or something. Could it be that the food she gave was not good enough?
Forget about the location for the chicken. She thought the right side of the door was a good choice. Although there was firewood piled in the corner, fortunately the yard of this house was big enough, so she could build a small smoking area at the door.
It's time to do it. Although Shen Wu didn't have bricks for the foundation, he had some dry grass.
She planned to get some dry grass in the afternoon and mix it with the yellow mud, use wooden boards as molds, and make yellow mud bricks in the yard.
This kind of bricks she had seen her neighbor's grandfather make when she was a child, all she had to do was dry them in the sun and use them like ordinary bricks when building a stove. However, after the stove was completed, it needed to be burned over a long period of time to dry it thoroughly before it could be used.
Moreover, the buildings made by this method will not last too long and may be washed away by heavy rain or rainstorm.
It's definitely fine for one or two uses, since you can't use it for a long time anyway, but it's definitely fine for temporary use as a place to smoke meat.
If she wanted to stay longer, she could just build a small shed above the place where the meat was being smoked.
Thinking of this, Shen Wu was a little worried. Could she really finish it before the first snow came? She could put the toilet work on hold, but she really wanted to make the bacon stove.
Looking at the little yellow soil in the yard, she thought she should build a stove first and then dig out the location of the septic tank outside the yard.
The location of the septic tank outside had been booked long ago, but the two of them only dug a very shallow layer. There was so much work to do every day that they had no time to dig deeper.
Shen Wu felt a little disgusted with himself. He was really going too far and creating some extra work for Gu Zhou.
