Sichuan-style bacon is different from bacon in other regions. It is not only smoked and dried, but also smoked. Usually lit with cypress branches and leaves for a few days. The bacon made in this way is particularly delicious, so it can be said that whether it is drunk or eaten, it can be memorable.
Every year after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the bacon on the mountain is almost dry. If you cook more at home, you can start cooking bacon.
At this time, many city people will go up the mountain to buy bacon sausages, especially in recent years, before the mountain people killed pigs, some people began to order bacon sausages and went up the mountain to buy them when they were ready.
My home is a long-distance motorcade. The route of the motorcade is mainly to the mountainous areas in northwest Sichuan, such as Pingwu, Qingchuan and Jiuzhaigou. Many drivers are familiar with the villagers in the local mountains. Every new year, we will ask familiar drivers to order bacon sausages in the mountains. In the early years, when the price of pork didn't rise, two or three families could share a whole pig. Basically, there are three people in our family, making bacon sausages for about 2000 a year, and of course there are preserved ribs, salted pig feet, preserved fat sausages and so on.
Then some people will ask: Why should we go to the mountains to buy bacon sausages? They are also sold in the city.
Many pigs on the mountain are grain pigs.
Although it is said that some people are feeding pigs now, in the early years, almost all the mountains were grain pigs, and now they are all mixed with food and feed, as well as vegetables and leaves. This kind of pig tastes delicious, pork tastes pure and has little fat.
You can hardly buy this kind of pork in the city. Now you can only buy good bacon sausages by going to the deep mountains.
cheap
The purchase price on the mountain is more than 30 kilograms. As soon as it gets to the city, the price rises to more than 50 kilograms. Of course, we don't buy much from acquaintances, and we don't have enough relatives and friends. It is almost impossible to make money by reselling. Farmers in the mountains can't raise a few pigs a year, and they don't get much except to eat by themselves. It is impossible to receive pure grain pigs if the merchants buy them on a large scale. If they receive the good ones, they will stay and eat for themselves, and will not sell them.
The bacon sausages sold in the market are basically made by factories.
It is convenient to smoke in the mountains.
Bacon is now cooked in Sichuan city. Because of fire prevention, it is forbidden to smoke bacon privately. Many people go to the mountains to find a clearing and build a shed to smoke bacon.
The villages in the deep mountains still retain the tradition of smoking, and bacon in remote places is not so easy to find.
After sending bacon to my home every year, all the freezers in the refrigerator are emptied to put bacon sausages. For this kind of food, we Sichuanese can be said to be completely irresistible. Slaughter a piece of bacon from time to time, cut two sausages, cook a plate and eat a few meals.
Today is the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Now there are many young people in urban and rural areas who can't cure bacon and cook. They must eat bacon in the new year! What shall we do? We can only buy. Therefore, some people bought bacon before the Spring Festival, and there was demand. Since there is a market, there is demand, and there is a great demand. Naturally, people buy and sell, earning the difference and profit. Buying bacon in the countryside is nothing more than selling it at a higher price. In addition, some big hotels and restaurants may have a large demand and buy and store them in rural areas for later use.
Chinese rural farmers have the custom of curing bacon in the New Year. My family used to have a large population, and 50 Jin of bacon was pickled every year during the New Year. Pork is not tight now, and there is less bacon in rural areas, with a maximum of 20 kg per household. Eating too much of this wax is not good for your health. It is better to eat some fresh meat, which is more cost-effective and healthier for your health. So we went to the countryside to buy bacon, and it was harvested, and the price was not expensive in 35 yuan/Jin. This year, the price of our local fresh pork is still in 26 yuan/kg, so farmers can sell part of it if they have more bacon. The method of curing bacon in rural areas is different from place to place. In the south of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan and other southwest regions, bacon likes to be smoked with pine branches, while our local bacon is exposed to the sun for 7- 10 days, and then hung on the beam to dry. Bacon is stored for a long time, generally stored at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and can be eaten before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day. But after Tomb-Sweeping Day, bacon often goes bad, and many people in rural areas will throw it away when they arrive in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Whether it is smoked or dried, when curing bacon, salt should be sprinkled on the surface of bacon and rubbed repeatedly to let salt penetrate into pork. Pork curing takes about 3-7 days. Then take it out, wash it with clear water, and dry it in the sun for 7- 10 days. People in the southwest may hang them in front of the kitchen to smoke, or smoke them with pine branches. We hung it on the beam to dry it locally.
At present, there are not many young people who can cure bacon, especially urban youth. They may not be able to cure bacon and have to buy it. Therefore, the demand for bacon in cities may be great. At present, there are not many companies that buy bacon online and specialize in producing bacon. Therefore, some supermarkets, local specialty stores, online stores and farmers' markets only go to the countryside to buy bacon for sale to meet market demand. Only ten days before the Spring Festival, the market demand is increasing, and the sales volume is also very large. Maybe some supermarkets, local specialty stores and online stores in the city will be out of stock. Merchants don't want to give up this opportunity to make money, so they have to go to the countryside to buy bacon and sell it back. Don't underestimate the market a few days before the Spring Festival. In a small rural market, selling couplets and calligraphy and painting just a few days before the Spring Festival can earn thousands of dollars. A few days before the Spring Festival, the sales of the urban bacon market will definitely soar, and businesses will definitely make a fortune, so they will organize people to go to the countryside to buy bacon. In addition, in cities, "New Year's Eve" is eaten in restaurants and restaurants. Of course, there will be a plate of bacon when you are young. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, the demand for bacon in some hotels and restaurants will also increase greatly. Therefore, it is not excluded that restaurants and restaurants send employees to the countryside to buy meat.
In short, some people in rural areas buy bacon for eating and selling, and they will never take it back, throw it away or destroy it. The biggest possibility is sales. In order to make money, plus rural bacon, it is all local pork raised in rural areas. It tastes delicious, with the flavor of the past, home, mother and childhood, especially for rural people who have settled in the city. City people also like to eat local pork in the country. Many city people feel that it is a pity that they can't eat fresh vegetables and local pork in the countryside, so they go to the countryside to buy bacon to satisfy their appetite. Moreover, the bacon cured by local pork in rural areas is just different from the kind of pork bought in the farmer's market in the city, and the taste of cured bacon is just different.
After entering the twelfth lunar month every year, the countryside is the busiest time, and it is also the happiest time for farmers in a year, because it is time to enjoy the "harvest fruit"!
The first important thing in rural areas in the twelfth lunar month is to kill the big fat pigs kept in captivity at home, and then start making bacon and sausages, which can best represent the taste of home, because:
People in the countryside collect bacon every day, weighing 35 Jin. What is the purpose of collecting these bacon? Conclusion: 35 kg of bacon can be said to be super cheap, and the people who buy it are basically reselling! This purchase price can be said to be profitable.
Speaking of bacon, of course it is delicious! I was born in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and I will cook bacon there during the Spring Festival, so there is no shortage of meat for a year! Hard dishes for guests! With the improvement of rural conditions and people's eating habits! Eating bacon is no longer a luxury!
First of all, the bacon you buy must be cooked. There are Sichuan bacon, Hunan bacon and Jiangxi bacon. The practice is basically the same. We stew bacon with radish here, cook the bacon and then steam the fat pieces. Bacon is fried with black beans, and bacon is fried with dried bamboo shoots. Everything is delicious. Come to Sister Xia's house in Qinling Mountain for farmhouse meal when you are free!

Secondly: it is near the end of the year recently. Some families don't have smoked bacon at home, but they will come back for the New Year. It is also the ingredients for the reunion dinner of relatives who start businesses abroad! Let the family eat the taste of hometown!
Welcome to ask Sister Xia of Qinling Mountain to take you to eat bacon!
It's already cold winter, and it's really a good time to cook bacon. Every year after the twelfth lunar month, it happens to be the winter of solstice, which is the peak period for farmers to make bacon. In the past, farmers raised pigs themselves until the Chinese New Year, and then began to cook bacon. Salty bacon creates delicious taste buds for people.
The subject said that recently, someone came to the countryside to collect bacon every day and gave 35 yuan a catty? Can you accept a catty of bacon from 35 yuan now? You must be dreaming. Now that you don't know the price of fresh meat, I'm surprised to say so. For the sake of harmony, I still don't talk about the price, but I tell you, there is absolutely no one selling bacon today, and 60 yuan is less than a catty. 60 yuan a catty is still a gift price. So, you said 35 yuan a catty of bacon, and I really doubt the origin of this meat. Better find out.
In fact, as the subject said, 35 yuan was taken away by vendors and then sold at a high price, usually to local specialty stores. During the Spring Festival, preserved fish, preserved duck and preserved chicken were monopolized, and the business was very hot. Don't say people like the smell of their parents. Many big bosses use these local specialties as gifts or favors.
In our local area, there is a whole street selling local products. Now in the twelfth lunar month, it is the time when the local specialty shop is full of bacon and preserved fish, and the car is parked next to it, all bought by the whole car. The only explanation is to send a message.
Pay attention to farmers and learn about agriculture, countryside and farmers together.
Someone came to collect bacon. Why?
Hello everyone! I'm Moon Shadow Zhu. It's my pleasure to answer your question. I hope I can help you!
I'm from Sichuan, and I'm familiar with making bacon. The price of pork is also very expensive this year.
1, bought from 35 yuan with 1 kg bacon, and the price is unreasonable.
There are many sick pigs this year. Look out, everyone!
3. What is the purpose of collecting bacon? Selling or making processed products such as meat sauce and canned food at high prices.
I hope my video answer can help you!
I guess it must be resold at a high price to make the difference. 35 Jin of bacon is so cheap, that is, fresh pork costs about 30 Jin. I bought 55 Jin of bacon before, which is not expensive. Because the Spring Festival is coming, many people want to buy new year's goods, and some want to invite people to dinner and make family dinners. Naturally, demand exceeds supply, and it can fetch a good price.
You have to sell it at a high price to earn the difference. It's the Spring Festival. There is a great demand for bacon. Many young people can't cook bacon now. I prefer to buy ready-made bacon.
There are a lot of bacon in the countryside, especially in Sichuan and Hunan, and also in our northern region, but few people cook it. But in our local area, many people cook bacon. Basically, they cook six or seven pieces of bacon every year, and then wait until the New Year. You know, the production process of bacon is also very particular. For example, in old age, we will smoke bacon with dead branches of cypress, because the smoked bacon smells like cedar. It is also delicious to make such bacon into food, but during the period before the Chinese New Year, some people in rural areas will drive to the countryside from time to time to buy bacon, and the price is still very high. What do they usually do after taking it away?
In fact, years ago, I also asked people who specialize in collecting bacon at this stage. They said that the bacon that was generally collected was sold again, that is to say, the bacon bought in rural areas belongs to the local products of farmers and is handmade, so many people in the market, especially in cities, want to eat the handmade bacon in rural areas now.
In addition, many people collect it for themselves and give it to relatives and friends as New Year gifts. After all, handmade bacon in rural areas is hard to find in the market, so these people who buy bacon generally recycle it at a high price.
But do you know that if the bacon you cooked is only one year, or less than one year, then this kind of bacon is relatively cheap when you buy it, but the longer the bacon is, the higher its price will be, because the bacon that lasts for a long time tastes oily but not greasy, so the bacon that has been cooked for more than two years generally exceeds the price of 35 yuan per catty mentioned in the question, so you can put the prepared bacon,
