There is a saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Chinese is the most seasonal, 24 solar terms can best illustrate this, the ancients pay attention to what season to do, such as eating radish in winter and eating ginger in summer, turnip race ginseng in winter, the most fattened in the mother hairy crab lunar calendar in September, the fattest in the male hairy crab lunar calendar in October, what do these mean? To illustrate, for the matter of eating, Chinese has been very clear, what season to eat, what season a certain food is the best to eat, this is all exquisite.
However, this year, many people are worried that the price of pork will rise sharply by the end of the year, so many people have begun to fill sausages and marinate bacon in October of the solar calendar. So when did people usually marinate bacon and sausages in the past?
For our rural people in the mountainous areas, it is generally only at the home of the Waxing Moon that they begin to "kill the Pigs" (pigs eaten in the New Year), and they also begin to marinate bacon and sausages in the Waxing Moon. What are the benefits of cured bacon and sausage filling? The biggest advantage is that after entering the Waxing Moon, the temperature will be very low, the pork will be kept fresh for a longer time, and because the temperature is low, it is not easy for pork to breed a large number of bacteria in a short period of time.
These advantages are also the disadvantages of premature sausage-filled cured bacon. Why did I start by saying I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry? Bacon bacon, a wax word points out its characteristics, not to the cold winter wax moon, how can the bacon marinated in advance have a wax flavor? Isn't this typical of wanting to eat hot tofu?
This year many people marinate bacon in advance, sausages, the reason is also easy to understand, after all, a few years ago to the price of pork rose sharply, and even once a period of time the price of pork is higher than the price of beef, the people directly called out to eat pork, so more reluctant to marinate bacon and sausage, this year take advantage of the pork cheap, hurry up in advance to marinate bacon and sausage, so you don't have to worry about the New Year can not afford to eat sausages and bacon.
The idea is indeed good, but to know that the temperature is still relatively high at this time in January, on the one hand, the pork sold in some vegetable markets is not slaughtered on the same day, on the other hand, because of the high temperature, so even if the bacon and sausages are salted and marinated, it is still easy to have problems, the problem is that bacon and sausages are easy to taste, sour, or can not eat the taste of sausages and bacon, and may even have a strange taste, the taste will not be as delicious as the cured bacon and sausages in the cold winter.
So here also remind everyone, although the current pork price is cheap, but do not too much cured bacon and sausages, you can pickle less salted meat, less pour some sausages to taste fresh, after all, the season has not yet arrived, this time sausages and cured bacon will be a problem if you are not careful, when the time to eat strange taste is not worth the loss.
