Sausage is a kind of food that uses very old food production and meat preservation technology. It is a long cylindrical tubular food, which is made by cutting animal meat into strips and filling them with casings. Sausages are made of small casings (or large casings) of pigs or sheep, which are filled with seasoned meat.

After making sausages, hang them in a well-ventilated place to dry. If bubbles are found, they will be removed by needling. Every 12 cm is 1 node, and ligation is performed. Turn it over again in a couple of days.

Drying time depends on temperature, wind and other reasons. Generally speaking, 7- 10 days is almost enough. If you eat it, it will take 3-4 days. But don't be too dry, or it will taste bad. Put in plastic bags and put in the refrigerator for quick freezing or cold storage. You can also dip a cotton swab in a little peanut oil and smear it evenly on the surface, and hang it in a cool place below 10℃, which can be stored until after the Spring Festival.
