Nostalgic for stir-fried bacon with green peppers

In July of 2007, I was transferred to a large hydropower station construction site in central Guizhou, when I first arrived, I didn't like the diet here, every day and rice bars, rice noodles in the morning, noon and afternoon were rice, for people who grew up in the northern countryside, they were not suitable for this side of the diet for a while, they always wanted to eat steamed bread and pasta, but there was no way, more than a hundred people on the construction site, most of them were people from the southwest provinces, plus the chefs were also local people in Guizhou, so they could only adapt to the eating habits of this side.

After the winter solstice, there is a delicacy on the construction site - green pepper fried bacon, which often makes me very nostalgic. Every time at this time, many residents and canteens began to make bacon, the locals slaughtered the pigs that had been raised for a year, most of them were made into bacon and sausages, and the remaining part was made into "soaked meat", on the day of the pig killing, the relatives and friends who helped the feast were invited, everyone got together, ate meat and drank wine and chatted, it was very comfortable. So after the winter solstice, every day you can see the smoke between the mountains, that is, the pine smoke of making bacon fills the air. Making bacon is not complicated, guizhou locals will make it, and as a northerner, you will only enjoy it. When I started to eat green pepper fried bacon, I felt a little salty, but the spicy taste of green pepper can cover up some of the salty taste, the color red and green combination, but also pleasing to the eye, and later mixed with rice, I think it is very delicious. So much so that later, when I came home from a visit to my relatives, I would buy some for my family to taste, and there was very little bacon in the north at that time, and many people had not

Seen. When I left the unit at the end of 2009, Dongge, who had a good relationship, gave me a piece of bacon, which was made by herself, which made me remember deeply, and thanked Dongge again for the delicious food.

Nowadays, you can see bacon sold in supermarkets everywhere, but you can't taste the taste of that time.
