How to choose bacon for Chinese New Year? I heard that some of them are smoked from sick pork. How to tell?

It's best to go to the market to buy pork belly and cook it at home. When you buy it, make it clear to the boss that it is dried bacon, and the boss will know how to cut you into big strips. The steps are simple: wash the meat bought home, then spread the edible salt evenly on the surface of the meat by hand (with disposable gloves), put it in a basin for three or four days after all the salt is spread, and then wash the remaining salt on the surface of the meat with warm water, so that you can put on a rope and take it outside every day. When the sun is dark and hard, it is similar to that bought in the supermarket, but it is more delicious than that in the supermarket.
