There is an old saying in the countryside: "You haven't seen a pig leave before you've eaten pork"? Let’s talk about pork, but it is involved in our daily lives. There are very few people who have never eaten pork, right? Now the consumption level of the people is not low.

But what about the "golden six taels" mentioned by the rural elderly? Is there something more valuable in the pig? Which piece of meat from a pig can be worth the price of gold? Obviously not and impossible. Rural elders say that a piece of pork on a pig is "golden six taels", which means that this piece of pork is particularly delicious and has more flavor than other meat on pigs.

What exactly is "Golden Six Liang"? To put it bluntly, it’s no mystery, it’s the essence of pork neck meat. But in my opinion, there is not just one piece of pork neck meat called "Golden Six Liang", but two pieces! Therefore, the "golden six ounces" mentioned by rural elders specifically refers to the soft meat on both sides of the pig's neck, also called "snowflake pork neck meat". In fact, it has a very nice name, called "Song Ban" Meat".

Yes, "pine meat" is "golden six taels". Rural elders are very experienced. According to them, a 200-pound pig has less than six taels of pine meat, which is very rare and precious, so it is called "golden six taels." If the pine meat is sold separately, the price will naturally be very expensive. But pork buyers are not that stupid. They will not sell them separately, because pork neck meat is not valuable and tastes bad. Only when all the pork neck meat is sold will anyone buy the pork neck meat.

In our hometown, pork neck meat is called pig meat, which means junk meat, because it contains a lot of lymphoid tissue, which is not very good for people to eat. But what’s amazing is that there is delicious pork hidden inside the pork neck, which is snowflake pork neck pine meat. Pine meat is the best meat among pork. The fiber of pine meat is soft and has a lot of fat, but not much connective tissue. It is more delicious than pork belly. It looks like pork belly, but more like snowflakes, so it is also called snowflake pork.
