Zhao Yubao wanted to say something else.
Wang Cunye came over with a few snakes, saying that he was making a snake stew for his old friend.
Let’s stop talking about this.
On the contrary, he laughed at Wang Cunye: "No one in Zhuangzi was watching before. You didn't even dare to move your butt, Cunye. How dare you come out today."
The father-in-law said with a smile: " Why don’t you dare? There are two big tigers watching, so I have nothing to worry about.”
In addition to tigers, dogs and eagles are also in charge.
It’s okay to leave for a while at noon.
As he said that, the father-in-law looked at Chen Ling: "These two tigers are really sensible. I cut some meat and fed them from behind in the morning, but they crawled out of the hole and licked my hand even if they didn't eat."
Before Chen Ling could say anything, Shan Mao poked his head out of the kitchen and interjected: "When Uncle Han and I were in Shennongjia, an old hunter said that tigers are more sensible than cats after they are well raised.
This is how wealth is raised. ”
Chen Ling smiled when he heard this: "The little tigers that grew up in the zoo are easy to raise if people use the right method."
Of course the lynx is right.
The tiger is more well-behaved than the cat.
Yes indeed.
Although tigers raised by humans are still wild, they like to play with people and are very clingy.
Tigers can be said to be nearly perfect beasts.
Can be fierce or cute.
Mainly reflected in the word 'receive'.
The claws can be retracted, the tongue barbs can be retracted, and the wild can be retracted.
As long as tigers have wisdom, they are no different from humans.
They recognize "cook" but not "type".
This is much better than other cats.
“Come on, if you think it’s easy to raise a tiger, it’s not difficult for you to raise it. Forget it for others.”
“When it comes to raising tigers, I’ve searched all over the country, but you are the only one to be rich. . ”
“By the way, did Lao Han tell you, it seems that I need to give you an award for the red-crowned crane matter. With this award, if it is published in the newspaper, no one will question you anymore. Holding a gun and hunting again.”
"Ah? Give me a reward? Uncle Han didn't say anything."
Chen Ling was confused after hearing this. He just called Han Ninggui yesterday and didn't mention this matter.
"Uncle Zhong, I'm here to celebrate your birthday."
At this time, a cheerful voice outside the hospital interrupted Chen Ling's thoughts.
Wang Cunye turned his head and said in surprise: "Zhenzhen, didn't you just start school today? Why did you come back?"
Wang Zhenzhen ran up the path opened between the tall grass and trees on the slope, "Sister Du Juan drove me back on a bicycle. She wants to celebrate her birthday with Uncle Zhong."
Du Juan is also a daughter-in-law, even if Helping Wang Susu in the county town, I still have to come back when I have time at noon.
"I knew I was running blindly, and I didn't know how to help your sister Du Juan push the car behind."
Wang Cunye glared at his youngest daughter.
Wang Zhenzhen’s speed did not slow down at all. As he ran, he snorted at his old father and ran into the small fenced courtyard.
"Smelly Ruirui, you know how to play with turtles, but you still dare to hide them? Bring it to me to play with... Hey, Dad, did you catch the little snake on the grape trellis? There are also green bamboo leaves, green, so beautiful."
Wang Zhenzhen originally rushed to Ruirui and the others.
As a result, before I even walked over, I saw a rope hanging on the grape trellis beside the southern fence, with several snakes tied to it, entangled together, still struggling with their tenacious vitality.
Most of the children in the mountains around Fenglei Town are not afraid of snakes or insects.
There are often groups of bear babies, catching some non-venomous long insects, hanging them around their necks as necklaces, and judging each other who catches bigger snakes and who catches snakes with beautiful patterns...
When you've had enough fun, take it back and let your parents kill it for stew.
Wang Zhenzhen, like her sister, is not afraid of snakes, but is very kind to them when she sees one. When she saw the snake hanging on the grape trellis, her eyes lit up. She knew that the green bamboo leaves were poisonous, but she was not afraid.
He reached out and grabbed its tail, pulled it out, and shook it in his hand to play with it.
As for the grass-headed snake, also known as Wang Jin snake, she knew that it was raised at home and had a strange smell. Wang Zhenzhen disliked them since she was a child and never touched them with her hands.
“Yes, I caught it in Laohewan two days ago. The grass-headed snake was raised by our own family.”
"The green bamboo leaves are much more beautiful than the grass-headed snakes. They are so beautiful and must be delicious."
Wang Zhenzhen said, almost salivating.
Old men Zhao and Zhong went out to pick up Du Juan. When they came back and saw her greedy look, they immediately came over and rubbed her head with smiles: "It's true that your father said you were making snake soup for Uncle Zhong. , Uncle Zhong won’t eat for a while, I’ll give it to you, okay?”
Wang Zhenzhen drooled after hearing this, and said firmly: “No, I’m here to celebrate Uncle Zhong’s birthday.” , you can’t steal Uncle Zhong’s food.”
Chen Ling raised his eyebrows when he heard this: “Huh? You really don’t want to eat?”
The little girl immediately rolled her eyes: "Well, I'll wait for Uncle Zhong to finish eating, then eat a little bit more, and I will definitely not imitate Ruirui and steal people's food."
Everyone couldn't help but look at her appearance. A burst of laughter.
On the other hand, Ruirui accompanied her friends in the corner of the yard and looked over in confusion, wondering why they were talking about themselves again.
Wang Cunye snatched the snake from his young daughter at this time: "This crazy girl should not have brought her back. It's just the first day of school and she still has class in the afternoon."
"Slightly Just a little bit, I’ll go back, I’ll go back.”
What Wang Zhenzhen is least afraid of is Wang Cunye, his father, running around the old man with a playful smile and making faces.
"Zhenzhen, don't be angry with your father, come here quickly and tell Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhong how did you do in the exam last semester?"
The two elderly people are very happy. I like the little girl's lively temperament, and when I see her, I want to call her around to tease her.
When encountering such an old man who is very kind to him, Wang Zhenzhen will be much more well-behaved. He will come to them like a kitten and chat with them.
Chen Ling, Weng and his son-in-law washed their hands at this time, took out the scissors, and began to kill the snake.
Grab the snake's neck, cut it with scissors, and cut off the snake's head. After draining the snake's blood, tear off the entire snake skin from the snake's neck.
Snakes are very tenacious and can bite people with their heads cut off, so be very careful.
I often use a shovel to dig a small hole in my vegetable garden or under a tree and bury it on the spot. This is safer.
Chen Ling and Weng’s son-in-law are both skilled in their movements.
After removing the internal organs, rinse them with water and quickly clean up several large and small snakes.
The bamboo leaf green is too thin and thin, not much meat.
The grass-headed snake is still big and weighs enough. Not only can it be made into snake soup, but the remaining portion can also be braised in braised sauce.
Leave this to my father-in-law.
Let him show off his skills.
Chen Ling continued to process the river mussels, which was more cumbersome.
But as soon as Chen Ling worked on it, everyone felt that the river mussel was fresh and interesting. People of all ages came to help, and it was handled quickly.
It also cooks the food very quickly.
Because making snake soup takes time, Chen Ling’s river clam was stuck in front. When the clams stir-fried with chili are out of the pot, it's time for Wang Cunye to make snake soup.
To make snake soup, you need to put it in a pot and cook it first, peel the meat into shreds, remove the bones, stir-fry it in a pork stew pot, and then start adding seasonings and pouring in the snake soup.
Then, put it in a bowl, put it in a steamer, and steam it over medium heat for about an hour. In this way, the parasites are gone and the snake soup is more delicious.
Everyone worked hard when cooking today.
Although Old Man Zhong acted like he was not working today, he was actually sitting there with his legs shaking. He was deeply moved and could not sit still.
Finally it’s time for dinner.
During the dinner, the old man toasted with great enthusiasm. He didn’t even eat the longevity noodles, so he drank.
Before the birthday banquet was over, he got drunk, stuck his tongue out, rubbed the wrinkles on his face, and yelled that this birthday was the best birthday he had had in the past few years. The village was so nice and he would never leave again.
He also took the opportunity to make extensive plans for Chen Ling's farm, which was a rare display of his true ability.
Seeing that Old Man Zhong was getting drunk, fortunately he was drinking Chen Ling's fruit wine.
When you're drunk, just take a nap and you won't get drunk at all.
So everyone just agrees with him and whatever he says is what he says.
After dinner, it seemed like it would rain again, so Du Juan hurriedly drove Wang Zhenzhen back to the county town.
Wang Cunye also drank a lot and went back to the farm to rest.
Only Chen Ling and Rui Rui were left here. After making tea, the father and son and Shanmao went fishing along the river down the slope with a net and a small bucket.
It has been three months since this creek was dug, and there are a lot of fish and shrimps in it.
Especially connected to the reservoir and the large weir pond, there are fish that like still water and flowing water.
"Eh? What's this? It's making noises and howling. Who is beating their children on a rainy day?"
Following the river to the east, not far from the school, the bobcat suddenly He stopped and said doubtfully.
"It's not about beating the child, this must be a fight between Uncle Yongsheng and his wife."
Chen Ling smiled helplessly: "They are very good people, the female is virtuous, the male is They are very motivated, but they just quarrel and fight over trivial matters from time to time.
There was a fight some time ago.
Uncle Yongsheng disliked Aunt Xiuhua for breaking off too many corn cobs, and after one meal, it became too old to taste.
Nagging at the dinner table.
There’s so much in the field, it’s great to eat and break whatever you want.
I was so anxious that I threw all the corn in the steamer into the pig pen.
As a result, Aunt Xiuhua also lost her temper. She turned over the table and ate everything.
That guy, the grape trellis finally collapsed. "
"Oh, good guy, how powerful is he in combat? "
Shanmao was dumbfounded, "Fortunately Du Juan is not like this, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear it. "
After saying that, he listened carefully again: "No, Fugui, this doesn't look like a fight, there is a woman crying, don't think something happened. "
Chen Ling was stunned and quickly went to listen: "Eh? Aunt Xiuhua was really crying. Was the beating harsh this time? ”
He picked up Ruirui and quickly walked around the bridge with Shanmao.
In the alley near Chen Yongsheng's house, Wang Xiuhua was sitting on the ground crying.
A pile of bricks and stones collapsed behind the woman.
Chen Yongsheng and his fourth grandfather, Chen Gannian, were also anxious and were dragging someone's tabby dog home.
This situation confused Chen Ling, "What's going on, Fourth Grandpa, Uncle Yongsheng? What's going on at home?"
"Oh my god, Fugui, you came just in time. The pig pen here in the old house collapsed due to the rain, and all the pigs ran away."
As soon as Chen Gannian saw Chen Ling, he hurried forward. , said anxiously: "Can you let your dog search for you? We have searched for a while, and we have no idea where these pigs have gone."
What if Chen Ling hadn't moved here yet? When outside the village, they would definitely go to Chen Ling as soon as possible.
But Chen Ling was outside the village and sometimes returned to the county seat.
No one but Chen Ling can control the dog left at home.
So now that I see Chen Ling coming here on his own, it's like seeing a savior.
"Yes, I will call the dog over right now, but Grandpa Fourth and Uncle Yongsheng, when you were looking for the pig, didn't you look for it by following the hoof prints left by the pig?"
Chen Ling looked around and asked in confusion.
Since the death of the fourth grandmother, Chen Gannian moved out of the old house and lived in the yard of the boss Chen Yongsheng.
When the old house was vacant, a pig pen was built to raise pigs.
It is estimated that the pig pen is not very strong. It collapsed when it rained and the pigs ran away.
“Oh, it’s hard to find even if there are no hoof prints left.”
Chen Yongsheng pulled the dog chain and pulled the black tabby dog to him. The dog was very kind to Chen Ling. Very.
But from the looks of it, it would be difficult for him to look for pigs in the rain.
“No, how come there are no hoof prints left?”
Chen Ling frowned and looked at each other with Shanmao: "Did he run away when the ground was dry before it rained?"
Chen Yongsheng sighed: "That's not true. This is mainly your aunt's fault. You were angry with me yesterday because you didn't come to feed the pigs at night. The pigs had been hungry for two days. If the pig pen collapsed, they would be running around."
Wang Xiuhua stopped crying immediately after hearing this, wiping her tears and staring. He wanted to stand up, but when he saw outsiders like Chen Ling and Shan Mao were there, he immediately stopped, snorted and turned his head and stopped talking.
But no matter how angry the couple was, they thought about how those pigs could be sold for more than 2,000 yuan after being raised. They all ran away and they felt very sad.
As soon as she finished humming, Wang Xiuhua couldn't help covering her face and crying.
Chen Gannian couldn't control his son and daughter-in-law, but said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the pig ran up the mountain, which would be difficult."
There are many wild animals on the mountain this year.
If the pig runs up the mountain, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.
"Then I'll call the dog over quickly. It's starting to rain lightly again. Alas."
Hearing this, Chen Ling gave Rui Rui to the lynx and whistled the little green horse away. Slope called over and hurried back to the outside of the village to call Erhei and the others.
It's just that when I returned home, not to mention Erhei, Afu and Shou, who had slept well, also came out.
In addition to Ah Fu and Ah Shou, there were also little weasels that jumped up and down and ran towards Chen Ling along the horse's legs.
"Okay, you are back too. At least you can die and see the body."
Chen Ling showed the side pockets of the horse, and the little guys jumped obediently one by one. Go in.
Then he turned his horse's head and led Erhei and Ah Fu Ah Shou back to kill them.
It was raining and there was no one outside. Few people could see the spectacular sight of a black dog and two tigers running into the village after a horse.
Grandpa Fourth and his family were also worried about the pigs at this time. They were in a state of confusion and had no intention of watching the tigers.
After Erhei and Ahfu Ahshou were all approached, they each put on their raincoats and rain boots, picked up their shovels and steel forks, and headed out of the village.
Going outside the village and looking in the direction led by the dog and tiger, come on, this pig really ran up the mountain. (End of this chapter)
