On Li Xiaoran's side, the cured meat had been marinated for a few days and the sausages had been hanging outside to dry for a few days. Now, they were about to be hung on the fire to smoke.
Luo Cheng followed Li Shun up the mountain with his basket and machete to cut down some cypress branches.
In order to make cured meat and sausages tasty, cypress branches were indispensable.
The leaves of the cypress tree burned with a special fragrance. They smoked the cured sausage and made it taste delicious.
Li Xiaoran stayed at home and helped her mother hang up the cured meat and sausages.
As Luo Cheng had never warmed himself by a fire in the past, he naturally didn't have a fire. Therefore, he could only find a corner at the last minute and set up a place where a fire was burning.
When the pieces of meat hung under the beam of the house, Li Xiaoran felt a sense of accomplishment.
