Chapter 262 A Friendly Reminder (4)
Therefore, Wang Qian's charges were settled as quickly as possible, and he became the first group of people to be beheaded.

If Wang Qian had any knowledge, he would probably crawl out to find Mrs. Wang to settle the score, but as far as Qin Shuang is concerned, she really wanted to give Mrs. Wang a thumbs up!
After chatting, Zhang Qiaoting was left by Qin Shuang to help. The Chen family's business was over, and it was time for her to get busy. It was time to pickle the wild pork that was left alone to make ham.

Ham Ham is naturally pork leg. Although there are two hundred catties of wild pork in Qin Shuang's backpack, there are only two hind legs that are suitable for making ham. Fortunately, this pig is big enough and has enough meat. It added up to more than 30 catties. In addition, Qin Shuang asked the staff of Xi Lelou to help him bring back ten hind legs of pigs. The two kinds of meat added up to about 150 catties.

The first step in making ham is to trim the legs first, scrape off the residual hair and dirt on the skin, and then use a bone scraper to cut the bones to expose the muscles, scrape off the fat on both sides, and make the pig legs into neat bamboo leaves shape.The next step is to pickle. The process of pickling is very complicated. It takes four times in total, and it takes a total of one month to successfully pickle.

Today is the first time to add salt. Put the pork leg skin down and meat up into a large basin lined with clean bamboo slices. Sprinkle one-sixth of the total amount of salt in the four times of salt evenly in six times. On the surface of the pork leg, sprinkle one leg, put bamboo slices to separate it, then stack another leg, sprinkle salt, stack again, sprinkle again, repeat until all twelve pork legs are sprinkled with salt.

Only Qin Shuang, Zhang Qiaoting and Qin Tian did the work. A Chen was in charge of recording the pickling process in detail with paper and pen, Qin Tian was strong enough to carry the pork legs, and Qin Shuang and Zhang Qiaoting sprinkled the salt by hand.

The whole process of adding salt took a total of one hour. I was not very tired, but it was troublesome and time-consuming.

"Qin Shuang, what are you doing here? It doesn't look like you're making bacon." Zhang Qiaoting asked curiously. If it's bacon, it's not limited to hind legs. In fact, the village asks Qin Shuang to buy meat. Most of the villagers in the village plan to make those wild boar meat into bacon for Chinese New Year.But Qin Shuang specially took out the hind legs to cook alone, and made so many at once, which made her a little hard to understand.

No matter how delicious bacon is, it's impossible to eat it all at once. Ten catties or eight catties is enough to eat. Can four of Qin Shuang's family eat more than 100 catties?Of course, part of the reason is that Qin Shuang's craftsmanship is very good, and the things she can make often taste delicious!

Qin Shuang seemed to see her thoughts, and said with a smile: "The thing I'm going to make is called ham. It tastes better than bacon, but it's troublesome and time-consuming to make. I'll send some to your home during the Chinese New Year. , then you can try it.”

"Really?" Zhang Qiaoting closed her eyes and stuck out her tongue a little embarrassedly, "Then I'll say thank you bluntly, I'm waiting for your delicious food, um... ham."

"Okay, but I need your help to continue marinating in a few days."

"No problem!" Zhang Qiaoting patted her chest to assure her. Originally, she was taking Qin Shuang's wages. During this time, because Xi Le Lou was busy with the opening of a new restaurant, she temporarily stopped selling beggar chickens and other food. She felt that she was in a hurry and could continue. Help her so that she can get her wages and get more peace of mind.

The salted pork legs were placed in the shade of the kitchen and covered. The second salting was three days later, and two days later, it was the opening day of Xi Le Lou's new restaurant in the county seat.

As a partner who has established a good cooperative relationship with Shen Jun, Qin Shuang had to go over to congratulate on that day, and also check the progress of the renovation in the Zhuangzi by the way. It has been a long time since she bought the Zhuangzi. How soon will it snow, and Zhuangzi's renovation progress has come to an end, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed in three or four days at most.
