Su Qingluan chewed the snake meat fried in two different ways and silently compared them - the soft-fried snake meat could retain more of the fresh and fragrant taste of the snake meat itself, but the two snakes caught were both adult snakes with bones that had already ossified and were not easy to bite.
The dry-fried snake meat segments are fried until even the bones are crispy, and because a lot of seasoning spices are added, it tastes spicy, fresh and fragrant, which is very satisfying. It is also good as a snack to grind your teeth.
It’s just that the pursuit of strong flavor has resulted in the fried snake meat tasting no different from other meats, and the seasoning has completely covered up the original flavor of the meat.
The fried vegetables and meats were clearly a hit, and by the end, only the rather chewy dry-fried snake meat remained, while the rest had been devoured.
But it was obvious that the fried snake meat slices were really delicious. Everyone, whose cheeks were sore and mouths were numb from chewing the meat, stared at the remaining snake meat slices with great reluctance, always wondering if they could have another bite.
In the end, it was Yang who made the final decision: "No more! Boss, didn't you just say your mouth was all bruised? And you two!" She turned to look at Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, who were lying on the table staring at the snake meat. "You're eating something so hard, are you going to give up your teeth?"
So even Su Guangfu, although still reluctant to leave, finally licked their lips and gave up.
Su Qingluan looked at the pitiful appearance of the whole family and couldn't help but laugh. "If you like this kind of meat, not only snake meat, but also chicken and pork can be fried like this. It's just a matter of frying them a few more times. What's more, the snakes in the back mountain are not too difficult to catch. I will catch a few more next time I go into the mountains..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Xuanhe, who had just been most resentful about being "forced to shut up," jumped up first: "How can that be possible?! Sister, what if we run into someone with a sharp tongue?"
"That's right!" Su Xueyan nodded repeatedly. "Without Snake, we're just missing one delicious food. Without Sister, we're missing all the delicious food!"
Su Qingluan: ...She suddenly felt that what her younger sister said made a lot of sense, and she was speechless!
Su Guangfu was beaten to the punch by his two sharp-tongued children, and before he could say anything, he could only look at Su Qingluan disapprovingly. After the two little ones finished speaking, he added, "How could the family be in need of a bite like this right now? Going into the mountains and risking being bitten just for this is not worth it."
Everyone talked a lot and finally dampened Su Qingluan's enthusiasm for "hunting wild game".
After dinner, Su Qingluan returned to her room, but she was in no mood to rest.
Although she was not sure how Liu Yue and Zhang Ma would convey the information they heard from her today, Su Qingluan was always accustomed to considering the worst-case scenario first, so she carefully thought about the possible attitudes of Zhang Ma and even Xie Zian and what preparations she needed to make.
Su Qingluan did not plan to use the soybean oil left over from repeated frying today to cook food.
But she couldn't tell her parents about things like "repeated frying soybean oil produces a lot of harmful substances" because they wouldn't understand. So Su Qingluan simply said that she wanted to write something at night recently and used a lot of oil lamps - although this was also true - and used the soybean oil she used tonight, which had already accumulated a lot of oil residue, to light the lamp.
She lit two oil lamps on the small wooden table in her room and borrowed the bronze mirror that her mother used to dress up as a reflector. Su Qingluan finally made the light in the room barely bright enough for her to write without being blinded.
While complaining that such light was not good for eyesight, Su Qingluan rubbed her sore eyes and wrote carefully under the light source which was still dim and unstable compared to modern lighting equipment.
It was not until the night watchman outside sounded the reminder of "It's dry, be careful with fire" that Su Qingluan rubbed her sore shoulders, blew out the oil lamp, crawled into bed and went to sleep.
The next morning, Su Qingluan did not stay at home, but got up before dawn and went to the town with her parents to set up a stall - now the dawn time was getting later and later, and the temperature in the morning was getting lower and lower.
If a month or so ago, the temperature after getting up early could be described as "cool", then now the temperature before daybreak is a bit "cold".
Although she could still feel the gentle warmth of the autumn sun near noon and in the afternoon, now at dawn, with the dim morning light, Su Qingluan could even see the mist condensed from the water vapor exhaled from her father and mother's mouths as they spoke, floating in the air.
Fortunately, Su Qingluan wasn't a real child and had the willpower of a normal adult. So before Su Xuanhe was whimpering and unwillingly being "pulled" out of bed by Yang Shi, Su Qingluan had already dressed and arrived at the kitchen.
She was checking whether the last batch of preserved eggs was cooked enough.
Knock off the lime shell on the outside and peel off the egg skin, the shiny black and slightly transparent egg white appears in front of you, and a pungent smell rushes into your nose.
Su Qingluan looked at the faint pattern on the surface of the preserved egg, which looked like water frozen into ice. She nodded and whispered, "It seems that the effect this time is even better than last time."
Muttering this, Su Qingluan put the peeled preserved egg aside and picked a few more and put them in the basket, planning to bring the preserved eggs to Liu Yunniang when she met her in the town today.
After Su Qingluan had put away the preserved egg, Su Xuanhe reluctantly came out of the quilt.
