"Let me go, is this the little thing you two are talking about?"
"This horse is a nest of cobras!"
A pile of wires are placed outside the greenhouse of Wang Lixian's house Inside the pole, there was a nest of small cobras.
There are about ten little snakes in this nest, and they have grown to the thickness of a finger.
Obviously it’s a little snake that just grew up this year.
"Huh? Cobra? Over the mountain?"
Chen Xiaoer and Chen Xiaoer were startled and quickly backed away.
“It’s over the mountain. It’s a king cobra. It’s bigger than a cobra. We don’t have that thing here!” I see...it's wrong to step on a horse, Wu Fei, aren't you an animal teacher? I don't know cobras, how can you not?"
Chen Xiaoer patted his chest, his face turned pale.
"I study insects, not snakes. Besides, the big snake isn't in the nest, and the little snake hasn't grown yet. How could I recognize it as a cobra? I thought it was the homespun that is often called in the village."< br>
The two of them came here to clean up the telegraph poles. When they saw that the big snake was not there, they thought that Chen Ling's father-in-law kept several boxes of snakes at the farm, so they wanted to find Chen Ling and capture them.
It’s not really just for eating bear paws.
Who would have thought that this is a nest of cobras.
Chen Ling was also puzzled. Last year, his father-in-law put so many king snakes in the wild fields outside the village, just for fear that they would be bitten by venomous snakes while running around all day long.
Because king snakes eat snakes.
Generally, poisonous snakes will not dare to approach for three or five miles after smelling its scent.
Indeed!
Since the king snake was released, the effect has been particularly obvious.
The homespun bags that used to be common in every corner of the village have become less common in the past year or so.
Unexpectedly, a nest of cobras came to Wang Lixian's side.
"Hey, there is so much knowledge in this long worm?"
"Then according to what you said, generally poisonous snakes don't come here, they run out of the mountains?"
“I can’t say for sure, it’s possible that those big king snakes ran away and went to the mountains to find food.”
There are many poisonous insects in the mountains. Among the few sinkholes found, there were swarms of venomous snakes.
And there is more food in the mountains.
Those king snakes do not live in one place. Not only do they have to look for food, but they also have to find a mate to reproduce... Especially during the mating season, it is even more uncertain.
"What should we do now? This is a nest of venomous snakes. Do we want to kill them?"
Chen Xiaoer scratched his bald head.
"Why kill them? It would be a pity to kill these little snakes. It would be nice to go back and raise them bigger and make wine."
Chen Ling thought to himself that the Dongtian Five Poison Wine I was thinking about was lacking in raw materials.
"But snakes are very vengeful. If the big snake comes back and finds that the child is missing, it will probably follow the smell and find it in your house..."
"Fuck, don't!"
Chen Xiaoer jumped in fright: "Where is the big snake? Kill it quickly."
"Who knows where to find food?"
Chen Ling rubbed the stubble on his chin: "I'd better go back and catch a big king snake. The big snake will just fall into the trap when it comes back."
Wu Fei looked at the little snake pitifully, thinking that the big snake would not be found when he came back. The child was a little soft-hearted, so he said: "Why don't we move them to a different place, farther away from people, so that they can't hurt anyone."
The mother and child were separated, and the whole family was killed. It's so cruel.
Chen Ling sweated when he heard this: "Teacher Wu, don't make trouble... Snakes are cold-blooded animals. They won't remember your kindness. If you are not careful, someone will die. Think about how many little kids are in your class. , after school, I run and play in the fields all day long. If you accidentally bite this thing, someone will die at any time."
Wu Fei smiled sarcastically after hearing this and quickly said that he didn't think about it.
People are like this sometimes, they can't help but take on human emotions for animals.
Actually...
Animals are animals, and the gap between them and humans is not that big.
Even cats and dogs that have been domesticated for a long time can expose their wild nature and hurt people.
Not to mention these wild animals.
So the three of them took away the nest of small cobras and returned to the farm to catch two strong king snakes to deal with the female cobra that was out looking for food.
But what they didn’t expect was that when the three of them rushed back to the greenhouse, Wang Lixian was leading a few people to drive away the snakes with shovels and yelling.
Yes, Chen Ling and the others have been going back and forth for almost half an hour.
The big cobra had already returned to its nest and was bumped into by Wang Lixian and the others.
Although this cobra is poisonous, it is still afraid of people.
Being chased by so many people, I was so frightened that I crawled into the gaps between the telephone poles.
This is troublesome.
People living in the village have very simple ideas.
Poisonous insects and poisonous insects will be destroyed upon sight. On weekdays, spiders and centipedes crawling out from the corners of the room will be trampled to death upon sight.
Not to mention the poisonous cobra.
So a group of people rolled up their sleeves and moved the telegraph poles away one by one.
It took more than an hour to scare the snake out and shovel it to death.
After all the trouble with the telegraph poles, they simply carried the two telegraph poles up the slope, which saved Chen Xiaoer and the two a lot of trouble.
No one wanted the dead cobra, so it belonged to Chen Ling.
Little snakes need to be raised, and big snakes can be used directly to make wine.
His five poison wines come from various combinations.
If it weren’t for scorpions, toads, centipedes, spiders, and snakes.
Or replace it with poisonous bees or other poisonous insects.
But what’s a little embarrassing is that he still doesn’t dare to drink those wines.
"Brother, are you really not here to eat bear paws? This is a rare thing, so bring your sister-in-law and children over here."
"I'm not going, I'm not going. I'm tired of cleaning up these telephone poles, and I don't want to change these dirty clothes."
"Then let Daxu and my sister-in-law come over."
"No need. Ignore them, Da Xu is playing with Rui Rui all day long, so just go if you want... Go and get Zhenzhen back quickly."
The two of them waved their hands, it was getting late, and urged Chen Ling to go and pick her up. Children are out of school.
Besides, this is not purely polite.
There are only two bear paws, how can I go over with a whole group of people? It would be such an unpleasant feeling to others.
I didn’t see that Wang Lixian and the others were not going.
I don’t have this in mind, and there will be times when I will annoy people in the future.
Seeing that none of them were coming, Chen Ling said no more.
After returning home, a special fragrance was already wafting in the yard. Shen Jiayi and her mother followed Gao Xiulan to check on the situation in the pot from time to time.
I'm afraid that there are too many ingredients in the pot, such as chicken, duck, big bones, and big elbow meat. These things are heavy and will easily burn if they stick to the bottom of the pot.
That would really ruin a good pot of soup.
Mainly there are a lot of trivial matters today, otherwise Chen Ling would not be the hands-off shopkeeper at this time.
He himself also went to the kitchen stove to take a look, smelled the rich aroma, and couldn't help but swallow.
The anticipation in my heart is almost unbearable.
"If nothing else, the stew in my pot will definitely taste better than the stuff from Lao Maozi."
Chen Ling was secretly proud, and then he pushed out the motorcycle and went to the county town to pick up Wang Zhenzhen. My second brother and sister-in-law went there.
The three of them are quite busy today. A stall was set up outside the gate of the small courtyard in the south of the city selling spicy strips.
The Xinling Middle School across the street are all senior students and have plenty of pocket money.
Every time after school, people would crowd around the spicy strips stall.
Thanks to the large number of people, the spicy strips sell out faster.
Chen Ling didn't wait long before they sold out today's portion.
Wang Zhen really wants to count the money.
This is her greatest joy every day.
Seeing that it was getting later and later, Chen Ling helped her get on the motorcycle.
She then calmed down.
On the mountain road outside the city, she became happy again.
Trailing behind Chen Ling, he grabbed his clothes and said for a while: "Why did the little green horse run into the mountains? Alas, I didn't go home for a few days, and it became so disobedient..."
It seems that when she is at home, the little green horse listens to her.
After a while, he said: "The little sheep are so timid. They are afraid of dogs chasing them while riding a motorcycle... I am not afraid of those wild dogs. If they chase me, I will climb up the wall and hit them with a slingshot!"
< br>I acted like a tomboy along the way, bragging constantly.
But, she hasn’t been home for almost two weeks, and she is indeed a little homesick.
So this chirping one is going home, and I feel happy.
“Brother-in-law, you are going to bring Afu Ashou back, can you still go to the mountains to fight blind bears?”
"That's definitely no problem. No matter how powerful the blind bear is in the mountains, he can't beat a tiger, let alone our Ah Fu and Ah Shou."
"Then you can catch a little bear for me. I want to keep them.”
“Stop it. Those sika deers will give birth to a bunch of fawns next year. Isn’t that enough for you to raise? If you go to school all day long, your parents will give them to you. Feed them, you don’t care.”
“I don’t care, I caught so many bugs for them on Saturday and Sunday, enough for them to eat for several days.”
“…”
Soon they arrived outside the orchard. Before Chen Ling's motorcycle could stabilize, she jumped off.
Running and shouting, he ran into the farm.
“Wow, the little muntjac has grown up.”
“Rui Rui, don’t run away, you stinky boy, you only know how to play with turtles, your hands will stink!”
< br>Chen Ling smiled helplessly and shook his head: "This crazy girl..."
"Huh? Dad, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhong didn't come?"
"I went home after fishing. I said I was going back to change clothes. I called again just now, but they all said they were already at home. After dinner, I won’t come.”
Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood and said with a wry smile: “Look at what happened, bear paws are just for taste, not for the sake of it. I just want to fill my stomach. I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat enough.”
Bear paws are not eaten like pig’s trotters. They are eaten with a small spoon.
Two bear paws and a big pot of side dishes, what’s not enough?
I couldn't eat it even if I let it go.
"Forget it, I'll call them over later." Chen Ling shook his head, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen to work.
Zhao Yubao’s family is not quite the same as Chen Xiaoer’s family.
Even if the two old men had not revealed the key secret recipe for making bear paws today, they usually regarded Chen Ling as their junior.
That’s really caring.
These are not outsiders.
Don’t forget it.
"Aling, how long does it take? If it comes out later, I will send you a portion. Sister Du Juan is pregnant, so let her take some to supplement it."
"No, pregnant women can't eat this stuff blindly. It's not delicious. It's better to use our chicken and duck to make soup another day."
Chen Linggang took out the bear paws wrapped in gauze. After hearing what my wife said, I quickly reminded her: "Anyway, those old hens and ducks in our house are laying too few eggs, so they stewed them and ate them."
Wang Susu nodded and smiled: "Okay, then Zhenzhen and I will call Uncle Zhao and his family over later. You can work in the kitchen and don't worry about outside things.
Dad and Mom I just said that I was afraid that if you worked hard for a long time, you would end up cooking the dish, which would be a joke."
"Hahaha, don't worry, as long as the pot is not burnt, these ingredients alone will taste good. It can’t be worse.”
Just as he was talking, Wang Qingzhong and his wife also pushed the car in.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I exclaimed how delicious it smelled. I packed up my bike and went straight to the backyard kitchen.
At this time, Chen Linggang put his forepaws into the pot to make braised bear paws.
"It smells so good. The last time it smelled so good was when we were eating hanging pot around the firepit on a hot day with heavy rain this year."
"Haha, how does it compare with this fragrance? "
"This one must be thicker. Good guy, I really cooked a pot of something. Xinping, come over and see how much money your brother-in-law spent just to eat a bear's paw."
"Good guy, we have chicken, duck, and elbows. I'll have to eat two more bowls of rice later."
"Sister-in-law, you can't even finish eating so much meat, so don't worry about food now."
Chen Ling said with a helpless smile.
Then he started to slice the hind palms into slices, place them on a plate and steam them in a pot.
The two ways to eat it left Wang Qingzhong and two people stunned.
"What you did, wait until Kang Kang Lele is served with wine, do it again, it will be so grand, no matter who comes, it will be enough."
"Hey, don't say it yet, that's what I planned."
Wang Qingzhong and his two men smelled the fragrance, their stomachs growling non-stop. They were busy making spicy strips in the afternoon, and they were already hungry without taking a rest.
How can I bear to smell this fragrance?
He quickly went outside to set the table, and helped Chen Ling take out the chicken, duck, elbows, meat and other soup items from the big pot and put them on the plate.
This is most of the dishes on the table.
Soon the bear's paw was healed, and the remaining two procedures were very simple. Chen Ling's movements were swift and quick, and it was about to happen.
Wang Susu quickly took Zhenzhen and Ruirui to call Zhao and Zhong to come and eat.
After everyone gathered, Chen Ling put out the best fruit wine.
Before the wine was poured and the banquet started, Wang Zhenzhen and Ruirui were already too hungry to wait, so Chen Ling pulled two chicken drumsticks for them and let them eat on the small table next to them.
After taking care of the children, the adults went to taste the bear's paws.
With the rich aroma, I carefully ate it into my mouth. For a while, the table was quiet, and no one said a word.
Is it delicious?
Is it delicious?
It is full of fragrance, melts in your mouth, and the fragrance even fills your nose.
But... the taste is a bit hard to describe, I can only say it's a bit weird.
It's different from anything I've had before.
Chen Ling and the others won’t talk about it yet.
Zhao Yubao and his family have indeed had dinner.
After eating like this, I felt hungry again.
Cuckoo didn't eat the bear's paw, but she smelled the fragrance and worked up an appetite. She ate two more bowls of rice with the fragrant elbow meat.
The men, young and old, became more and more excited as they ate, changing cups and cups in high spirits.
Bear paws paired with fruit wine, delicious mountain delicacies, complement each other.
Zhao Yubao ate and drank so much that he didn't know how to feel better. He ate a bear's paw and drank a sip of wine.
I closed my eyes and was so intoxicated: "Oh, life is like this, what else can I ask for."
His appearance made the children feel very strange when they saw him, and Rui Rui was also offended. He followed him clumsily, making everyone laugh.
Zhao Yubao picked him up and said, "You brat, your father refuses to be my apprentice. When you grow up, you will be my apprentice. When the time comes, we will compete with your father." (End of Chapter)
