At this moment, Jack brought Xiao Ding out. With Jack's help, Fatty and I didn't have to go into the tent to remind them to have breakfast.
It was already completely light outside at this time. Xiao Ding might be a little tired from last night. Even though he came out, there were still traces of sleep on the corners of his mouth and Yan Jiu's, and he even looked a little tired.
"What are you doing? Xiao Ding and I smelled this fragrance from inside." Jack looked at the pot that I hadn't opened the lid yet and asked curiously.
Xiao Ding was also curious and excited.
Seeing how much they were looking forward to it, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
I opened the pot and said to Jack with a smile on my face, "This is snake meat. I originally wanted to make it into snake soup, but the ingredients are limited, so I can only make it this simple. You guys just have to make do with it."
As I said this, I left a bowl for each of them.
However, as soon as I said it was snake meat, Jack's expression changed. The disbelief on his face was particularly obvious. He glanced at the ground and found that only half of the snake demon's body was left.
Seeing the snake meat I handed over, Jack took a step back, not daring to take the food from my hand. He also shook his head hard, playing while wanting to take action to express his refusal.
I was stunned by his reaction and suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask them if they were all okay with eating snake meat. But seeing that he accepted it, and that he usually eats everything, I thought he wasn't picky about food!
"This discovery has just been tested and confirmed to be non-toxic. You can use it with confidence."
To prove what I said, I gestured to Jack.
The color on the silver needle is still white.
In fact, the reason why I tried so hard to recommend it to him was simply because I wanted him to try my new menu. Besides, we don’t have access to snake meat every day, so I tried even harder to persuade Jack to try my new creation.
"It's okay, believe me, snake meat just sounds a little scary, but it's actually very delicious, really. If you don't believe me, try it?" I said as I pushed it to him.
"No, I don't eat snake meat, thank you, and I don't recommend you eat it either!"
Jack is worthy of being Jack. He can say these words so calmly at any time. It really makes me feel angry and funny.
"Are you going to give up this pot of snake meat? No way!" I held the bowl in my hand, ready to pass it on to the next person. There's only so much for breakfast anyway, so if you can eat it, eat it. If you can't, there's nothing you can do about it.
Jack saw that no one was paying any attention to him, so he started talking to himself.
"I've heard from the elders before that snakes are actually spirits and shouldn't be killed lightly. If you accidentally kill one, be careful not to eat its meat, because they hate it most when someone kills them and leaves their body uneaten."
Our curiosity was instantly piqued by Jack's words. After all, snakes always play the villainous role wherever they go. When did they become so-called gods? "Really? Then tell me, do you have any evidence to support what you say?"
When I heard this, I immediately found it funny. After all, it was rare for Jack to tell me something so seriously, so I was naturally very curious about what Jack would say.
Jack glanced at me, as if knowing I was just curious, but he continued talking anyway.
"There is indeed such an example!" Jack paused for a moment before continuing, "There was once a child who was alone at home. He was the only one in his village who was afraid of snakes and would not eat snake meat."
As soon as I heard Jack's rhythm, I had a feeling that this was going to be a protracted battle. My first reaction was to eat the snake meat first, but the next second I still gave it to Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding took it without any reaction.
Jack glared at me for this behavior, but he couldn't do anything about it.
He glared at me, but I wasn't afraid. Instead, I smiled and looked a little arrogant.
Although Xiao Ding took the snake meat from me, he was more curious about the story that Jack told him. He held the bowl without thinking and looked at Jack with anticipation.
"So what's next?" Xiao Ding saw that Jack and I had been staring at each other for so long without any reaction, so he took the initiative to ask.
Jack was reminded by his words that he had not finished his story. I raised my eyebrows and looked at Jack, waiting for his next words.
"Next..." Jack started to say, but I interrupted him and said, "Can I have a bowl first? It won't taste good if it gets cold!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Jack glared at me and said harshly from his thin lips, "No!"
Considering that it was a rare occasion for Jack to tell a story, I was polite and didn't drink this bowl of breakfast in front of him.
"The child was home alone that day when he suddenly saw a brightly colored snake with a triangular head appear at the door. He was terrified. Just then, the snake hissed at him."
As Jack was talking, I complained in my mind, as if this could relieve my hunger. At the same time, I looked around and suddenly noticed Xiao Ding's expression.
Xiao Ding seemed to be affected by Jack's words, and his face was covered with fear, as if he was the protagonist.
And Jack's story continues.
The snake slowly approached the child. The child took a step back, and the snake immediately moved forward. Finally, it rolled over in front of the child, acting like a spoiled child. The child had never seen this scene before.
The child was scared and thought he saw a ghost, so he looked around and finally found the hoe at home. His first reaction was to separate the snake's head from its body. Just as he thought, he hit the snake with the hoe and the head and body were separated.
The child was very happy at this time, as he had finally overcome his fear and was no longer afraid of snakes. But at this moment, he saw that the snake's head seemed to be shedding tears, and the child felt scared.
Just when the child was scared, he seemed to see the snake's ferocious expression, as if it hated the child a little because it was hurt in this way.
At this point, Jack stopped his narration and looked at all of us, but found that only Xiao Ding was listening to his story attentively, while I was looking around and not paying attention to what he was saying. As for the fat man, he couldn't help but start eating.
When Jack saw the fat man eating, his face suddenly turned bad, but it was too late. He had already started eating. After thinking about it, he decided to focus on Xiao Ding. After all, he could convince as many people as possible, so he began to continue telling his story.
But because I was hungry, I rubbed my stomach from time to time, thinking to myself, if I had known earlier, I would have made myself a bowl.
