I saw Jiang Zhichunfeng and his wife with disheveled hair and pale faces. Even the little wild boar in their arms had a droopy head and a listless appearance.
Xu Errui stepped forward to take his mother's basket and asked in confusion: "Mom, why do you look so ugly and pale when you pick up fungus?"
Jiang Zhi threw the basket away: "Quick, take away the things inside, I don't want to see it again!"
Chunfeng's face didn't look good either. When she saw Xu Dazhu reclining on the wooden board next to her, she pursed her lips and shouted: "Brother Zhuzhu!"
After shouting, he didn't care about anyone else in the courtyard, and immediately threw himself into Xu Dazhu's arms, crying with grievance: "That snake is going to bite my aunt... I was so anxious that I grabbed the tail and threw it to death... But this My hands, my hands smell too bad!"
Xu Dazhu put his arms around his wife and comforted him repeatedly: "What's going on? Speak slowly. Don't be anxious!"
Jiang Zhi was retching beside him: "There is a snake in the basket on my back, it stinks, it stinks so much!"
snake!
The people in the courtyard dispersed with a huff, and Xu Errui and Xiaoman came over with sticks and hoes: "Where are they? Where are they?"
Jiang Zhi was unable to answer and could only point to the basket on his back.
Xu Errui stepped forward, stretched out his hand, lifted the backpack and tilted it to the ground.
"Pah!" A piece of black and yellow soft meat rolled out!
The snake is dead!
The appearance of death is quite ugly, with skin and flesh torn apart, scales and armor peeling off...
Suddenly everyone was stunned!
After a while, Jiang Zhi drank the water poured by Qiao Yun and touched the little wild boar beside him to tell the story.
She first praised the little wild boar for its cleverness. It was the little wild boar that discovered the big snake. It also knew how to crawl next to her legs as a warning, so that people noticed that the big snake was approaching and avoided any trouble.
The reason why I felt so uncomfortable was because of the snake.
At that time, after the two of them beat the snake in a squirting style, it took a long time to calm down and just thought that the matter was over.
But while walking on the road, I felt some discomfort in my hands. I originally wanted to find a place with water to wash them, but I didn't expect that the discomfort on my hands didn't go away after being wet. Instead, I smelled a stuffy odor.
No matter how tough they are, they always dislike snakes.
At this time, the hands not only smell bad, but also have a greasy feeling that is difficult to eliminate.
This feeling makes people feel as if they have been holding a snake in their hands, so they vomited all the way back!
For people who don't come into contact with snakes on a daily basis, the smell is enough.
Now the two of them wanted to cut off their hands, and how to eliminate the snake odor became the most urgent thing.
Jiang Zhi knows about herbal medicine, but is afraid of snakes, so he doesn't know much about snake-related things. For example, he doesn't know how to clean a snake after touching it.
Fortunately, Mr. Xiaoman knows how to deal with this matter.
Mr. Xiaoman said: "The cauliflower snake smells bad, so washing it with water alone is not enough. You have to use several kinds of grass juice to wash it."
If you have touched a snake and the smell of snake is left on your hands, you can find green onion leaves, fold the branches and leaves at the root of the ear, rub the juice into your hands and rub it on your hands.
Then use stinky mud, fine sand, and coarse sand to polish and clean your hands in order to eliminate the psychological panic caused by the slippery feeling on your hands.
Otherwise, the smell on your hands will remain for several days, which will make you feel uncomfortable for several days.
Knowing the method, he used it immediately. Xu Errui quickly found several kinds of strong-smelling grass for Jiang Zhi and Chunfeng.
The two of them scrubbed their hands and polished them with sand.
The effect is excellent!
Although my hands were red, swollen, and painful from washing, as the pain in my skin disappeared, the greasy feeling also receded, and as expected, there was nothing unusual anymore.
On the other side, everyone was talking around the dead snake, and everyone was smiling.
This snake has made the two families worried for so long, worrying about people and chickens.
People didn't dare to go out, and chickens didn't dare to leave the pen. They even laid a few eggs. The hens and chicks could only be kept in the house, pooping all over the house, and the stench was overwhelming.
Now that I have killed the snake, I feel at peace.
After Xiaomanye's evaluation, the snake was at least ten pounds. It would take a lot of effort for the man to catch it alive or kill it, but he didn't expect it to be thrown to death by the woman.
They didn't know that the crazy woman's fighting power was beyond the limit.
And the snake probably felt that its death was unjust. It would either be thrown to death or trampled to death by the frightened women.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone is not interested in women killing snakes, but how to deal with ten pounds of snake meat.
Snake meat soup is a good thing, and snake gallbladder is also a good thing!
Mr. Xiaoman peeled off the snake skin with a knife and took out the snake gall inside: "Er Rui, this is a good thing, swallow it quickly!"
Snake gallbladder can clear the liver, improve eyesight, and dispel wind. It has always been believed by the people to be a great tonic, and the way to eat it is to swallow it raw.
Xu Errui looked at the snake gallbladder that was handed to him, which was as big as a pigeon egg and was green and black in color. He recoiled and vomited: "I, I don't dare to eat it! Uncle, let Xiaoman eat it!"
Seeing that he was cowardly, Mr. Xiaoman scolded: "Idiot, this is good food for you to eat. Close your eyes and swallow it in one bite!"
There were four men in the courtyard at this time. Mr. Xiao Man first thought of giving it to Xu Errui, but this guy didn't live up to his expectations.
Jiang Zhi said: "Uncle Chang Geng, forget it if Er Rui doesn't dare to eat it, let's share it with brothers Dazhu and Xiaoman!"
Snake gallbladder is usually swallowed whole. You can also mix the bile into good liquor of about 50 degrees and mix it evenly before drinking it. Now there is no condition, so you can only take it raw.
Although the effect is good, not everyone can take it. Since Xu Errui can't accept it, there is no need to waste it.
Xiaoman didn't eat either and gave it to his eldest brother Xu Dazhu.
Xu Dazhu did not refuse and asked Chunfeng to bring him cold water and swallowed it in one gulp.
Take out the snake gallbladder and get the snake meat. Cut the raw snake meat into small pieces, add wild ginger and green onion knots, and fill a big pot full of it.
After a while, firewood was moved to set up the stove, and a pot was set up in the yard. The boiling snake soup began to steam, and the special umami flavor also filled the yard.
Snake soup must be cooked outdoors.
Because it is said that snakes and centipedes are natural enemies, the smell of snake soup will attract centipedes to spit on the rafters.
If it accidentally drips into the pot, the snake soup will become poisonous, and people who don't know if they eat it will be poisoned to death.
This is an ancient rumor that Jiang Zhi heard. He didn't expect that it was also said here in Xujiacun.
The weather is cool at night, so it would be nice for two families to sit around the fire and eat snake soup.
The snake soup is very fresh, just add a little ginger slices and salt, and no other seasonings are needed.
The snake meat is also very delicate, with large chunks of snake oil floating directly on the surface of the soup. Drinking it in one sip will make your stomach even more lubricated even if it is no longer hungry for meat.
Jiang Zhi was afraid of snakes, so he ate a few pieces of meat and drank the soup with his eyes closed.
Living in the present has no right to be picky about food. If you don’t eat this or that, you will die.
Besides, snake ointment is the best skin care product. Eating snake meat is particularly good for the skin and prevents acne. Eating meat is always better than taking medicine.
In addition to the snake meat, there are also several mixed cold dishes on the side, which relieve the greasiness and satisfy the craving. When mixed with fat, it adds another flavor to the mouth.
Xiaoman and Xu Errui wolfed down their food again. Xu Errui touched his belly filled with snake meat and said, "You have grown so big and you have already gone up the mountain. This is the second time you eat meat until you feel like vomiting!"
Xiaoman also said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future!"
Although I just received hundreds of kilograms of dried meat, it is a rare opportunity to eat snake meat like this.
Xu Dazhu also had a bulging belly this time.
The first time I ate meat was when I picked up dead rabbits and pheasants that had been burned in wildfires.
Although it could be eaten open, Xu Dazhu was weak at that time and couldn't swallow the meat, so he could only drink some soup.
Everyone ate snake meat, except Chunfeng who didn't want to eat it. After Xu Dazhu's persuasion, he reluctantly took a few sips of soup.
What everyone didn't expect was that Nini suddenly stumbled over with a bowl of water: "Mom!"
Chunfeng opened her eyes in surprise: "Nini, what did you call me?"
