Xiangxi bacon, spicy or salty, is favored by Changsha consumers because of its delicious taste. The practice of bacon is relatively simple and primitive. Cut fresh pork into long slices, each weighing 3 to 5 Jin. Then stir-fry the salt in the pot and add the right amount of pepper powder. Wipe the bacon piece by piece with salt; Then marinate them together in wooden barrels. After about a week, I took the meat out of the bucket and hung it on the fire pit for smoking.

The bacon made in this way can be preserved for two or three years. And the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it tastes.
