Cheng Zhenzhu slowly pulled the snake cage back, and during this process, the movement inside the cage became even louder. When she lifted the dripping snake cage ashore, she looked through the small hole and found that it was densely packed with snake-like creatures.
A dozen or so strip-shaped things were wriggling around in the snake cage, twisting into a ball and slamming against the cage violently, as if they were about to break out of the cage. Seeing this, Cheng Zhenzhu got goosebumps all over her body.
She didn't need so many snakes... Cheng Zhenzhu stared at the snake cage, feeling a bit daunting. After browsing the system mall, Cheng Zhenzhu spent 699 sea coins to buy a pack of stun powder specifically for sea creatures, which made all the snakes in the cage faint.
The stun powder has a three-hour effect on most sea creatures, though it varies from species to species. However, it will still make them dizzy for a while.
Cheng Zhenzhu put on gloves and touched the thirteen snakes lured into the cage, as well as a cutlassfish that had been bitten to pieces. Her touch, of course, was to allow the online encyclopedia's system to perform a detailed identification of the snakes' species.
Finally, after careful identification and suggestions from the system, Cheng Zhenzhu selected four of the snakes: two red and two spotted.
(PS: I wanted to write a more detailed article here, but then I looked up information about snakes and saw a bunch of pictures, which immediately put me off. Forgive me for being really scared~~~)
Because she still remembered the news that a live snake was soaked in wine for three years but didn't die and even bit someone to death, Cheng Zhenzhu decisively chose to cut off the snake's head and prepare the dried snake to make wine.
With the attitude of cutting the Gordian knot, four more snake heads soon appeared in the cage. The remaining nine snakes and half of the cutlassfish were also thrown into the cage by Cheng Zhenzhu and scattered back into the sea.
Go back to where you came from. But she couldn't control who would fall prey to her dizzy self...
The preparation of dried snake takes time, but Cheng Zhenzhu isn't in a hurry. With the help of the system, she proceeds methodically. Then, in February and March, she heads up the mountain to work for a while. In April, she takes a few of her friends to pick mushrooms, dig wild vegetables, and cut mugwort.
From the end of March to April, it was the perfect season for eating these. Liu Tiao kept talking about them, so Cheng Zhenzhu would take the two little ones up the mountain every few days. They didn't go up the mountain, but just wandered around the foot of the mountain, picking a few mushrooms and digging a few handfuls of wild vegetables with the other group.
San Tiao is a year older and more adventurous than last year. He digs one up to have a look, pulls another out to have a look, his eyes sparkling as he attacks his mother with a thousand "What is this?"
On the contrary, the usually active Liu Tiao was more focused on picking mushrooms. He saw one and waited for his mother to tell him it was edible. He immediately picked it and threw it into the basket, then ran to the next mushroom...
"This is Artemisia, not Mugwort. The difference between the two is..." With the help of the Encyclopedia Boss system, Cheng Zhenzhu answered the three questions one by one.
San Tiao's eyes suddenly lit up. Mom is really amazing...
On Sunday, April 8th, just after a rainy day, Ichijo had breakfast and enthusiastically invited Erjo to go mushroom picking in the mountains. Erjo eagerly agreed.
My mom and brother have been there several times. They have to go to school, and it rained last weekend. We haven't gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms this year...
"Let's go." Cheng Zhenzhu locked the door and took the three children with her out of the yard. This time, the four children each carried a basket and a small shovel, looking ready for a big job.
"Mom, there are no mushrooms here. We have picked them all." Yi Tiao walked around and picked three small mushrooms. He was very dissatisfied.
Er Tiao also noticed it and came over with a mushroom, his festive face a little sour.
There weren't many flowers to begin with, and Liu Tiao even snatched one from him. He'd clearly seen it first! Liu Tiao kept chattering, complaining that he was slow, saying he was quick and got it first, so it was his...
"Mom, let's go up there. There must be something there!" A sharp-eyed boy saw a cut road, moved the branches and found that it was more spacious inside, so he shouted to his mother and several brothers.
"Go, go, go!" Liu Tiao ran in the front dragging the basket.
Er Tiao grabbed him. "Mom hasn't said whether I can go or not."
"Liang~" Three bright black eyes looked at his mother, waiting for the words.
"Wait a minute, Mom will take care of these branches first, so they don't get caught on you." Cheng Zhenzhu remembered this path. They had gone up it last year, but it hadn't been taken care of this year, so a lot of branches had grown sideways. Judging by the footprints on the ground, it seemed like quite a few people had gone up there...
More than half an hour passed, Cheng Zhenzhu put away the sharp knife and asked the children to follow her.
Yi Tiao watched his mother swinging a knife at the branches, thinking it looked very powerful. He couldn't help but break off a branch and swing it behind him.
San Tiao thought his brother was going to spank him, so he jumped and ran to his mother with the basket in his arms, and successfully pushed his second brother off the seat.
Huh? Two eyebrows were practically twisted into wrinkles. What was going on today? Six dared to bully him, and so did Three. Could it be that since he was usually away at school, he felt that his power was gone and didn't recognize him as the second brother anymore?
"San Tiao, who am I?" Er Tiao asked with his fist raised.
"Second brother~" San Tiao held his mother's hand without turning his head, his voice relaxed and cheerful.
"Liu Tiao, who am I?" Er Tiao was slightly satisfied and asked Liu Tiao again.
"Old Crocodile," Liu Tiao replied with a smile. He followed his third brother's instructions, but sometimes he would imitate his eldest and second brothers' calls.
The eldest brother sometimes calls the second brother "big brother" and sometimes calls him "second brother". He knows what "brother" means, so he just follows and calls "second brother", and then his second brother's fist comes.
But he is not afraid, because his big brother will help him...
"Liu Tiao, if you shout that again, I'll beat you up!" Er Tiao gritted his teeth and showed a fat fist to Liu Tiao.
Liu Tiao laughed and hid behind his big brother. Er Tiao saw his big brother walking forward and had no intention of protecting Liu Tiao. He continued to catch Liu Tiao, plucking him and then reaching out to take the hidden mushrooms from Liu Tiao's basket as a trophy.
The mushrooms were taken away, and Liu Tiao was anxious. However, he knew that without the help of his eldest brother, he would never be able to defeat his second brother, so he stayed quiet for a while and quietly thought of a solution.
After lying dormant for a while, Liu Tiao finally got the chance.
When they reached a wide area, Er Tiao put his basket aside and went to pick mushrooms. Liu Tiao picked mushrooms next to Er Tiao, and when he wasn't paying attention, he touched his brother's basket.
