Ten snakes were placed on the stove, and both Hua Ziqiang and Hua Xiangfan felt their scalps tingling when they saw them.
The snake meat soup on the table exudes a fresh and fragrant aroma.
Hua Xiangfan took a sip and exclaimed, "Brother, this is delicious!"
Hua Ziqiang rubbed his hands, looked at the ten snakes, and decided to roast the snake meat.
He wants to eat the long snake and overcome his fear of snakes!
The snake meat was very thick and the skin was surprisingly easy to peel off. We lit a fire in the yard and started roasting it with a crackling sound.
The apprentices came to cut vegetables and saw a fire burning in the yard. On the fire was a wooden stick with a snake with a pointed tail stuck on it. They immediately showed great respect to their master Hua Ziqiang.
"Brother Erniu, you actually dared to kill snakes and eat them! You killed ten of them!"
"Yes, you are very brave."
"Is snake meat delicious?"
Hua Ziqiang took the opportunity to teach them the essentials of barbecue: "Come here, take this snake and roast it. I will teach you how to prepare the barbecue ingredients and sprinkle them with it."
After a period of tedious teaching, the snake meat was grilled with a sizzling sound. The flavor of the seasoning and the aroma of the snake meat had blended perfectly, and it smelled very tempting.
The disciples were drooling with greed. Hua Ziqiang said, "Ergou and I will eat one, and you can share the rest."
"Wow, great!"
"Brother Erniu, you are so generous!"
"Thank you, Brother Erniu!"
Everyone happily divided the nine snakes among themselves. They showed no disgust or fear at all and kept praising them while eating.
So fragrant and fresh!
After the distribution, everyone reluctantly threw away the bare bones and couldn't help licking their fingers.
I didn't expect snake meat to be so delicious.
When they were leaving, they happened to find a snake at the door of Hua Ziqiang's house. They immediately rushed over with hoes and sticks, and beat the snake to death.
Someone shouted, "Why don't we roast this snake and eat it!"
"Great, great!" someone quickly echoed.
One snake was not enough to eat. Hua Ziqiang had just taught them barbecue skills and wanted to let them practice, so he took out some meat and lit the stove to cook noodles.
"I've taught you how to grill, how to judge the quality, and how to mix the ingredients. Each of you must try it at least once. Whether it turns out well or not, you'll have to eat it yourself. If it gets messed up, it's not my mouth that'll be hurt."
Hua Ziqiang has a skill bonus, and he has actually practiced for a long time. This group of apprentices need to practice knife skills for at least a year, and it is not yet time to teach them specific dishes.
However, barbecue is not a very formal dish after all, and it is not complicated, so Hua Ziqiang taught him how to make it.
Everyone cheered: "Thank you, Brother Erniu, you are so generous!"
Hua Ziqiang cooked a big pot of noodles and brought it out in a large basin.
"Barbecue alone won't fill you up, so I cooked some noodles for you."
Everyone was grilling around the fire, the firelight illuminated all the smiling faces, everyone was chatting and laughing happily, and when they saw the noodles being served, there was another burst of happy shouts.
"Come and serve the noodles quickly, or the food will get clumpy!"
After a round of greetings, everyone put their meat on the table and quickly came forward to pick up their bowls and chopsticks to eat the noodles.
Then they all sat back in front of their respective barbecues with their bowls of noodles, looking at the sizzling and oily brown meat, slurping the fragrant noodles, it was so refreshing.
After finishing the noodles, the person who finished roasting first went to wash the dishes, and then returned to the front yard. Everyone else was almost done roasting and put the roasted meat on the table.
"How about we compare and see who grills the best meat?" someone suggested cheerfully.
"Okay!" This suggestion immediately attracted many voices of agreement.
Everyone looked at this and that, and started to evaluate based on the color of the grilled meat, but no one was convinced that others grilled it better than themselves, so they insisted that their own grilled meat was the best looking.
"Bullshit! Look at your meat, it's all black and you still have the nerve to say it's better than mine!"
"Where are your eyes? I baked them just right, it's obviously you who don't have enough color!"
"Then let's see whose is more delicious!"
"Yes, yes, deliciousness is the most important thing!"
Hua Ziqiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This group of people really don't accept each other.
Even if the grilled meat doesn’t look good, no one will admit it.
Everyone started to taste the food again, and naturally, the best barbecue was eaten up in no time.
There were a lot of things left that were not well-roasted and no one ate them.
Now there is nothing to say.
The one who grilled the best meat was very proud: "I told you, my grilled meat is obviously the best!"
Hua Ziqiang smiled and said, "No one is eating it, take it home and eat it yourself."
There's nothing we can do about it. It's meat after all, no one will dislike it.
If it's burnt, you can just scrape off the burnt part and eat it.
As for the snake meat, it was gone in no time.
After eating the meat, everyone left happily.
After returning home, these half-grown children could not hide the secret and told their parents how the snake meat tasted that day, and their parents couldn't help but become curious.
There are many snakes in summer, and who can avoid encountering one? In the past, people would knock a snake to death or avoid it, but now most people choose to knock it to death with tools and then take it home to eat.
As a result, most people discovered that snake meat is indeed delicious. Some people had never eaten snakes before because they were afraid they were poisonous and didn't dare get close to them, because they didn't look like they were edible, and because they weren't used to eating them.
As a result, everyone tasted it and found it delicious, and a snake-catching craze started in Dafang Village.
Of course, no one dared to mess with poisonous snakes. Everyone looked at the snakes with rough skin and round heads and boldly knocked them home.
Of course, where there are snakes, it is inevitable to encounter poisonous snakes, especially when a poisonous snake is so ignorant as to enter someone's home.
Since it has entered a human's home, we will not be polite. We will beat the snake carefully, kill it, and cut off its head.
The old man said that even if the snake's head is cut off, it is still alive and can bite people, so even if it is a dead snake, the head must be thrown away.
After cutting the snake meat and finding it unpalatable, he simply took out the snake gallbladder and sold it to a pharmacy.
The pharmacy buys snake gallbladders, each for 1.3 yuan.
Seeing that snake gall was so valuable, the eyes of those people in the village who became bold when they saw money suddenly turned red.
There was a man named Zhu Laopi in the village. He was very tempted by the price. It was just a small snake, and the only threat it posed was its head.
What is he afraid of as a grown man?
So he worked in the factory during the day and searched the village for snakes at night. If he saw a snake with a triangular pointed head, he would pinch it with his hands. To be on the safe side, he would chop off the snake's head and put the body in a basket.
The next day, the snake is taken out, the gallbladder is taken out and sold to the pharmacy, and the snake meat is sold to people who want to eat snakes but dare not kill them.
After half a month, I made a lot of money.
The pharmacist said, "What a pity, you only have one snake gallbladder. If it were a whole snake, we would offer a higher price."
Zhu Laopi asked excitedly, "What's the price?"
"Ten dollars a piece!"
Zhu Laopi's eyes were brighter than light bulbs.
