Chapter 425 As far as the eye can see
The pig-slaughtering banquet might be a joyous feast for others, but it was not the case for Jingyin. She couldn't eat so much food, so two dishes were prepared for her at noon, which was considered a unique dish.
There is no special rule that Jingyin doesn't eat pork, but because she has been taking care of Tuntun for many years, eating pork will make her feel like she is eating Tuntun meat.
This is just like people who keep dogs but don’t eat dog meat. After years of living together, they are no longer pets, but friends with whom we have deep feelings.
What about Lady Tsunade?
People are heartless and don't notice such delicate things.
Now, Tuntun is at Nohara Lin's house and dares not show up at all.
In addition to Jingyin being treated specially at noon, the same thing happened to the mink hat loli Huoshao. She liked light food, or in other words, she couldn't eat salt at all. So, she was also given some light food.
The rest of the people didn't have any dietary restrictions, they ate to their heart's content, mainly for fun. Even Zero and the others, Li Qing served them a large table of virtual version of pig-killing dishes, they also did it for fun.
After the meal, Huo Xie curiously asked Li Qing: "What is bacon?"
"You can't eat that. That's meat smoked with bacon. There's a lot of salt."
Li Qing explained.
"profound!"
After hearing his explanation, Huoshou gave up his plan to do the same as Lady Tsunade.
In the afternoon, Li Qing organized everyone to make bacon together. In order to facilitate drying, Li Qing took everyone to the floating island.
"Qing, what are these?"
When Huo Xie saw the floating island, his eyes lit up and he asked immediately.
"This is the floating stone I found in outer space. I'll use it as the foundation of the Sky Island. If you like it, I'll move it to the Wet Bone Forest when the time comes."
Huoshou suddenly understood and nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you then!"
I salute you and express my gratitude in advance.
The main reason was that she felt that her clones would definitely like it, and as old friends, she wouldn't be polite.
From Li Qing's perspective, he had only known many people for six or seven years, but in the eyes of others, Li Qing was an old friend whom he had known for more than ten years. During the years when he was asleep, he continued to influence many people.
This bacon is divided into smoked and unsmoked types. Li Qing plans to make some of both, and the same goes for the sausage.
The front leg meat is used to make sausages, the hind leg meat is used to make bacon, and the rest of the offal is used to make smoked bacon.
The first step is to stir-fry the salt. The ratio of meat to salt is usually 3 taels of salt for every 10 jin of meat. Li Qing has to do quite a lot, so he needs about 10 jin of salt. In addition to salt, he also adds some spices to stir-fry.
While Li Qing was frying the salt, Tiantian and the others started cutting the meat. Strength lies in numbers. By the time Li Qing finished frying the salt, the meat for the sausages had already been cut. Li Qing used a ratio of 30% fat and 70% lean.
The casing was quite troublesome and the girls were reluctant to touch it, so Li Qing had to do it himself. When Li Qing was dealing with it, they all stood far away and even Li Qing was disliked by them for a while.
"Can't you just use magic? Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Nohara Lin was speechless.
"vomit--"
After saying that, she even dry-heaved.
Their sense of smell is extraordinary, so naturally what they feel is more real. This makes them feel that having a very good sense of smell is sometimes not a good thing.
"Tao follows nature! Everything should be left to nature!"
Li Qing just replied with a smile and continued to deal with those things.
Different people have different understandings when hearing this sentence. Nohara Lin felt that she didn't like the smell, so she covered her nose and just let it go.
"Qing, let me help you!"
After saying this every day, he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work.
In her opinion, her way of life is to do whatever Qing does, and follow Qing's footsteps, which means letting nature take its course.
Huo Xiao simply wanted to help, but was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it well and would end up making things worse, so she just watched quietly from the side.
Speaking of being unscrupulous, it has to be Kun Xiaoman, who dares to do anything. Right now she is adding salt to the fresh meat, or else she would play with the pig intestines.
"Angie, does it look like you?"
Kun Xiaoman picked up a pig's head and asked with a smile.
"Master Tianjun, Xiaoman scolded me! She bullied me!"
An Qi was totally unacceptable now and started to complain immediately.
"whispering sound--"
Kun Xiaoman sneered, pretended to be disdainful, and rolled his eyes.
Then, she continued with her work. In her opinion, doing these things was very interesting. She had already thought clearly that the Lord of Heaven had learned to make spiritual food for them, so what she was doing now was equivalent to making food for herself. She was very excited to do it.
Li Qing heard An Qi's complaint, but just turned around and smiled at An Qi, without saying anything, neither saying anything good about her nor bad about Kun Xiaoman. Let them experience these little interactions for themselves!
At this time, Zero had already built a shed for smoking bacon using several tree trunks. Once the pork was marinated, it could be hung on the shed and smoked. In addition, she also led people to build a large row of racks for air-drying bacon.
After Li Qing finished processing the casings, he went over there to season the meat fillings for the sausages. Soon, the meat fillings of several flavors were all mixed evenly with seasonings.
While stuffing the sausages, Kun Xiaoman used too much force and caused them to burst.
"I'm sorry, Lord Tianjun!"
Kun Xiaoman looked at the Big Devil a little guiltily, and when he saw that she didn't show any expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It doesn't matter. We have extra of this stuff prepared to prevent something like this from happening."
Li Qing comforted softly.
The ones that need to be smoked have a heavier taste, while those that do not need to be smoked have a lighter taste. Some strong liquor is also added to this part of the sausage.
Normally, it takes several days to marinate meat, but Kun Xiaoman and her colleagues used a special technique when applying salt, which shortened the time it took for the meat to absorb the flavor to just one or two hours.
After Li Qing and his team hung up the sausages that needed to be air-dried, the meat was almost thoroughly marinated. They took out the part that did not need to be smoked and hung it up, and then hung the part that needed to be smoked in the shed built by No. 0.
In his previous life, Li Qing’s hometown used cypress branches to smoke bacon. This time, Li Qing found better materials in the Wet Bone Forest. In addition to these, Li Qing also added some orange peels to it.
When smoking bacon, you cannot use open flames, otherwise it will turn into barbecue. Therefore, someone needs to be watching over the smoking of bacon, both to prevent fire and to prevent the bacon from turning into barbecue.
It was enough for one person to guard the shed, so Li Qing naturally took on this role. The rest of the people were having fun on the floating island, playing games, chatting, or even playing chess in pairs.
In short, wherever Lord Tianjun is seen, there is laughter and joy.
