Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

The reason why Luo Ding's bacon is so popular with the public is that their pork is the root cause, which is really a surprise.

The pork that Luo Dingjia uses to make bacon is all young pigs aged nine or ten months of the year, and most of them are pork with streaky parts to ensure that the bacon is fat and thin.

Those pigs were all raised by farmers in Luoding, and the food they ate was prepared according to the feed formula ratio given by Luoding every month.

Luo Ding's feed formula is what he learned from his master, and it is completely configured according to the nutrients needed by pigs for their monthly growth.

The most important thing is of course the forage grass planted in their fields. According to the growth needs of pigs, it accounts for about 50.00% to 60.00% of the total feed ratio, and some corn flour and soybean cakes are added to the rest. and other grains.

As the main feed, alfalfa has a function of improving the soil. Alfalfa planted on saline-alkali soil can use its well-developed root system to absorb the salt in the land along with nutrients into its own body.

The absorbed salt will accumulate little by little in the body of the alfalfa, and then be eaten into the body by the pig, and then decomposed into the blood and muscle tissue along the digestive tract, becoming a part of the pork.

Of course, Luo Ding and the others don't know these things. What they can perceive is that their own pork tastes firmer and springier than other people's pork, and the taste is much better than ordinary pork.

But with the research and development of bacon, everyone found that using the same method, the bacon made from their other raised pork has a more salty and delicious taste than ordinary bacon.

The salty umami taste was so delicious that even Shen Chenai was amazed after eating it. If he hadn't watched the bacon making with his own eyes, he would have wondered if there was chicken essence or monosodium glutamate added to it to enhance the flavor. something.

Of course, there is no such thing in this era, so Shen Chenai seriously suspects that this change in taste should be due to the reaction of a certain substance in the pork with the smoked fireworks during the smoking process, and it will finally Forming.

Luo Ding didn't understand what Shen Chenai was thinking. He only knew that the bacon smoked by his own family was better than other people's. Take the taste that this kind of bacon has evolved by itself, as a kind of blessing from God to him.

As soon as the bacon with this savory taste was launched, it was immediately welcomed by diners. Whether it was wholesale at the factory or retail at the butcher shop, its sales rose in a straight line.

Anyone who has eaten Luo Ding's bacon, there are few who are not conquered by the salty taste. Because of the popularity of everyone, the major restaurants in Fengcheng are now starting to buy from Luo Ding. It has become a signature dish of Fengcheng, and anyone who has been here can't help but order a new dish.

After eating, people have to look around, be sure to bring some, and give them to the family to taste after returning home.Who knew that this kind of bacon was equally popular after leaving Fengcheng, and many businessmen in other cities followed suit.

The excellent quality and excellent taste make Luo's bacon highly praised by people, and after the praise, the sales volume has exploded, so in just over a month, Luo Ding estimates that it will take a year to produce All the more than 2000 catties of bacon that were sold have already been ordered.

The bosses who couldn't buy bacon were very reconciled, and squatted at the gate of Luo Ding's bacon factory every day with their banknotes in their hands, waiting. Once they saw Luo Ding come out, they would surround him without hesitation.

This kind of scene has been going on for several days. If it weren't for the big dogs in Luo Ding's house, which made the bosses dare not approach them so fiercely, they would have already chased him to Luo Ding's house by now. up.

There was a shortage of raw materials at the bacon factory, and Luo Ding was chased by the owners of a kind of bacon who were eager to buy bacon, and there was nowhere to hide. All that can be left for the butcher shop are the limbs, ribs, and pig offal.

Such things may be more popular for people who emphasize healthy food in modern times, or people with extreme tastes, but in this era, such things with little oil and water will not be popular.

Although there were a lot of cooked food among the products sold, their income not only did not decrease, but increased, but the aunts and aunts who couldn't buy pork belly looked at Luo Ding with more and more resentment.

Luo Ding was a little overwhelmed by these things, and there was news from Wuwei that the Wuwei army was very satisfied with the taste of the pork sent by Luo Ding. After the order was over, they hoped that there would be more More cooperation opportunities.

Hearing the meaning from over there, Luo Ding's head got bigger. For the first time, he hoped that the business would not be so prosperous, and it was really going to make him overwhelmed.

Since Luoding's bacon is selling well, seeing the booming business, there are many people who want to join in.It is not too difficult to smoke bacon. If you have a room, you can do it well by yourself after a few days of learning. Therefore, there are already several shops selling bacon in Fengcheng City.

However, the secret of Luo’s delicious bacon lies entirely in their pork. There is no such thing as pork that has been raised with alfalfa for a long time. Unless those people can come up with other fresh methods, the taste will not be the same as that of Luo Ding’s. There is no way to compare the bacon.

Some bosses shook their heads and walked away after tasting other people's bacon.If you really come across something that tastes pretty good, you will begrudged to buy a few dozen catties, saying that you will go back and try it out, see if it sells well, and then continue to bring a lot of silver tickets, at the gate of the bacon factory Waiting for Du Luoding.

Luo Ding was about to be driven crazy by those people. He was more anxious than anyone else because he had no raw materials, but there was nothing he could do. He had already transferred all the pork that could be used. Do it, piggies, if you do that, you will never find meat again.

Luo Ding was really at a loss what to do at this time, thinking he was capable, it was impossible to conjure up a bunch of alfalfa pork out of thin air, right?

That night, after dealing with the vendors who blocked him at the gate, Luo Ding returned home with a tired face.In the room, Shen Chenai had already boiled a pot of hot water for him, and when he came back, he would warm his face with a hot towel and let him relax.

With a hot towel on his face, Luo Ding rested on the kang head with his eyes closed. Shen Chenai and Yue Gui went to the kang table to serve food and dishes and picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

After resting for a while, Luo Ding felt that his spirit was much better, so he threw the cold towel back into the copper basin on the ground, and then grabbed the hill that had been hovering near the edge of the kang back into the kang.

Today's dinner was cooked by the new Mrs. Qian. To be honest, Mrs. Qian is indeed better than her cousin in terms of cooking skills.

At the dinner table, Shen Chenai looked at Luo Ding's embarrassed look, and asked, "Are those caravan bosses blocking the gate again today?"

Luo Ding nodded listlessly when he heard the words, and replied: "Why can't you say that these people can't make sense? I said that there is no goods in the market, and it's not that I don't want to sell their things. I am also in business. How can there be a businessman? The customers push it out, I don’t think I’m biting my hand because of too much money.”

Shen Chenai poked rice with chopsticks into her mouth, chewed and said, "I guess most of those bosses are afraid that the price of our bacon will increase, so they want to sign the order early. come down."

Because the supply was too short of demand, Luo Ding was forced to increase the price of bacon when he realized that there were too many orders.But even so, it didn't scare away those traders, but made their interest even higher. I was afraid that Luo Ding would raise the price again, so I kept an eye on him even tighter.

Shen Chenai was also helpless at this time. Although the phenomenon of buying up and not buying down is strange, it does exist, and no one can tell how the public's mentality is formed.

Luo Ding over there was already very distressed at this time, and Shen Chenai couldn't bear to see him like that, so he thought for a while and said: "We have already tried it before, and we can only feed it with the livestock grass that we planted. Only the pork that comes out can have that special taste. Right now we can’t find that kind of pork anymore. If it’s really not possible, we might as well take a look outside, maybe we can find a substitute. meat."

Luo Ding was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked Shen Chenai: "I didn't understand just now, please explain more clearly."

Seeing that there were no hints, Shen Chenai expressed her thoughts simply: "You have so much land planted with alfalfa, and the pasture produced is not only for your own use, but also for sale every year. .Although most of the people who come to buy grass are to feed the cattle and sheep raised at home, but what we are looking for is just materials that can be used to make flavored bacon. Is pork really that important? ?"

Shen Chenai's words seemed to open a window for Luo Ding who had walked into a dead end, making him feel suddenly enlightened.

That's right, there is no pork, isn't there other meat? There are many cattle and sheep near Fengcheng who grew up on the pasture he planted since they were young.Although there is not so much fat in cattle and sheep, it may be more difficult to smoke, and the price of meat is much more expensive than pure pork belly, but as long as the raw materials can be found, the remaining problems are all But try to remove it bit by bit.

Thinking of this, Luo Ding immediately regained his energy. He turned over and hugged the bowl, poured rice into it with big gulps, and ate the whole bowl full of rice in just a few mouthfuls.

After hastily eating dinner, Luo Ding put the bowl on the table, put on his clothes and was about to go out.

Seeing this, Shen Chenai hurriedly asked loudly: "You haven't finished your meal yet? Where are you going so late?"

Hearing this, Luo Ding put on his coat, walked out, turned his head to Shen Chenai and said, "I'll go to the factory and ask Xiao Cao if beef and mutton can be made into bacon. If it's too late and I haven't come back, you can Don't wait for me, sleep with the kids first."

As he spoke, he had already walked out of the gate, and his tall figure quickly disappeared into the darkening night.
