Fu Chen'an watched as his wife tied the casing's open end and then used twine to tie the sausage into individual links. Afterward, she popped the air bubbles trapped inside with a needle. He watched for a moment and copied her.
The two of them worked in silence and finally finished filling all the casings before sunset. Yao Zhi put the sausages into a large basin and cleaned the surface with warm water. Afterward, she brushed them with Baijiu.
She handed the sausages to her husband and said, "Husband, help me dry them with a clean cloth."
Fu Chen'an nodded and started working. When they were done, Yao Zhi finally stood up and stretched her sore body. She pointed at the kitchen and said, "Now, we only need to let them dry for ten to fifteen days."
Hearing this, Fu Chen'an asked, "Wife, where should we dry them?"
Typically, sausages should be dried in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. The ideal temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius.
