In fact, the appearance of ham at first was only because the local people pickled and air-dried the ingredients in order to prevent the food from mildewing, which could prolong the storage time of ham, and it could be eaten slowly without spoiling for a while. But now the life of the local people is good, and the local land is also very fertile, and there is no shortage of fresh vegetables. No one wants to eat greasy and salty bacon every day, but it's ok to eat it occasionally. If you eat it every day, no one can stand it, and you will get tired of it in a few days. Therefore, locals prefer to eat fresh ingredients, so locals rarely eat ham now.
In the past, the local meat and ham that could not be eaten were pickled. Because of the terrain and traffic, there was no way to transport them even if they wanted to, and the traffic was very inconvenient. But now it's different. Now most places have access to roads, whether by car or plane, which is very convenient. These hams pickled by local people can be transported out at a very fast speed. Moreover, this Jinhua ham sold very well after going to other cities and was welcomed by many foreign friends. So the local people packed Jinhua ham. After a long time, friends from other places tasted the authentic Jinhua ham, which was also full of praise. So the name of Jinhua ham started, and the natural price went up. The local people made money from it, so they wouldn't eat it.
