travelling guideline:
1. The real and fake Nuodeng ham scam revealed:
1. Non-traditional craftsmanship: Nowadays, the output of Nuodeng salt is extremely low, so the number of Nuodeng hams actually cured with Nuodeng salt is also very small. Some of them are eaten at home or for entertaining guests. Because of "A Bite of China", most of the hams that tourists can buy now are not made by traditional methods. They are cured with ordinary salt for 8 months or a year. Vendors who sell this kind of ham will tell you the "so-called identification method", but this is nothing more than another scam. Real Nuodeng ham needs to be cured with Nuodeng salt for about 3 years, and the price is relatively high now, almost 100 yuan per pound.
2. Shoddy goods: There is another kind of ham, which tastes similar to Nuodeng ham, but the seller purchased it at a low price of more than ten or twenty yuan. Some hams even have hair on the outside, but sellers will tell you that this is only for old hams. Tourists don’t believe it!
