Beef Jerky

Su Zhen took out a cloth bag from the bundle he carried with him. Under the curious eyes of everyone, he took out a piece of dried meat from the bag. The aroma of the meat instantly overshadowed that of the meat pie, indicating that there was still a lot of dried meat inside the bag.

Su Zhen first shared it with Jiang Gu, and then took out pieces to share with the others. The five of them sat around the fire, eating meat pies and gnawing on the dried meat.

Jiang Xia, with her discerning palate, instantly recognized the dried meat as beef jerky. The quality was excellent, most likely sourced from the Central Plains region's yellow cattle.

This beef jerky, in normal times, wouldn't be considered rare. There are cattle breeding bases in the Central Plains region. Mature cattle are transported to factories and processed into products like beef in sauce or beef jerky, which are then distributed to shopping mall in towns and larger cities.
