Bacon is a kind of cured meat in China. What is its origin?

Bacon originated in BC, when the ancestors of Hakkas moved from the Central Plains to the south. They use salt to keep pork fresh.

Bacon is a traditional food in China, and each place has its own characteristics. Bacon is made in many places and is generally preserved in the lunar calendar, so it is called "bacon". Bacon is a specialty of Hubei, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu, Longxi and Shaanxi, with a history of thousands of years. This is a meat preservation method. After the pigs were killed all over the country in June and February, 5438, the meat could not be eaten.

According to records, as early as 2000 years ago, Zhang Lu, known as King Hanning, went south to Bazhong after being defeated by the army. When he passed by Hongmiaotang in Hanzhong, Hanzhong people entertained him with fine bacon. Bacon has a long history. At least when Confucius lived, his ancestors knew how to make bacon. It is said that Confucius especially likes bacon. He once said that I can teach anyone as long as I have ten pieces of bacon. It is a habit of students to send bacon to teachers, but it is a habit. In the old saying, it is called "sparse show", which means a bundle of dried meat.

Bacon should be cooked all over Sichuan, and every family should cook it in winter. Buy fresh leg meat and pork belly, wash them, fry them with salt, and then add spiced powder and pepper. The seasoning powder made by this method is more fragrant. First, evenly coat the pork with white wine, then evenly coat the meat with seasoning, hang it in a ventilated place, light it with cypress branches, and then add a little. After the shell of the dried fruit is lit, the cured bacon is smoked and colored, and the bacon is very fragrant.

Now there are bacon in all regions of our country, which is an indispensable food for us. Not only can you eat in the twelfth lunar month, but you can also eat it at ordinary times.
