Add star anise, cinnamon, pepper, sugar, etc. Until the salt is reached, stir-fry until the fried salt and pepper are completely cooled, apply them inside and outside the fish, meat and poultry, repeatedly knead until the color of the meat turns from fresh to dark, and liquid oozes from the surface, then put the meat and the remaining salt into a jar, flatten them with stones, and place them in a cool and backlit place;

Take it out after half a month, put the marinated marinade in a pot and add water to boil, skim off the floating foam, add the air-dried poultry meat, put it in the jar layer by layer, pour the brine, press it on a big stone, take it out ten days later, and hang it under the Chaoyang eaves to dry it to welcome the New Year.
