Chapter 72: Slaughtering the Snake
The three of them took a few steps forward, and as soon as they turned a corner, they saw a large snake crawling into the open space outside the house.
Wang He asked Da Mao Ermao to stop, and he took two steps forward with a bamboo pole, and the snake heard the movement, turned his head, and one person and one snake began to confront each other.
At this time, Wang He received the task of the song title "Snake", and after clicking to start, the version sung by Wu Bai was played. This is an exotic song included in Wu Bai's "River of Dreams" album, released in 2001.
Wu Bai is a stage name, his real name is Wu Junlin, the reason why he gave this stage name is because he has been a class cadre since he was a child, his academic performance is very good, and the five exam subjects are all 100 points, so the family calls him "Wu Bai", which means 100 points in five subjects.
This is a singer that Wang He likes very much, because he has shoulder-length hair, and when filming MTV, there is a picture of long hair fluttering, especially during concerts, and the hair dryer is a necessary prop, so he is nicknamed "the man with his own hair dryer" by fans who love him, in addition to the factor of being a singer-songwriter, Wang He's good impression of him is also because he feels that he looks like the fourth uncle, and he will feel so kind when he looks at the screen.
With the fourth uncle, no, it was with Wu Bai's voice that sounded, and Wang He also sang the lyrics correctly:
"You are a graceful snake. ”
[Get a close-up look at a snake that is more than one meter long.] 】
Wang He was happy when he saw this task that appeared:
"Isn't this one in front of you just eligible? Don't say one meter, two meters is enough!"
It was a cobra, with a long and thick body, at least two meters long, with dense gray-black scales on its head, neck, and back, shining dark in the sun!
The cobra first coiled its body into a ball, then erected its neck, spit out its forked tongue, and the flattened neck began to swell to the sides, and the more it swelled, the bigger it became!
Wang He saw that the neck of the cobra was inflated like a small balloon, aimed at the part, and smashed it on its neck with a rod!
The cobra was hit so hard that its small balloon-like neck collapsed and collapsed to the ground, leaving only its tail still flicking, and its body no longer moving.
When Wang He waved the bamboo pole, the task had been completed, but he was not at ease, and used the bamboo pole to provoke the snake body, and the snake slipped softly, and after confirming that it was dead, he checked the card skills:
【Use this card to summon a snake.】 The snake can act at the behest of the card's owner. 】
【Specify the type of snake:】
[1, random; 2, cobra; 3, silver krait; 4, rattlesnake; 5, five-step snake; 6, python ......]
[Duration: 5 minutes.] 】
[How to use: Just say "You are a graceful snake" in your heart. After meditating, 100 XP points will be deducted. 】
[Note: Can only be used once within 24 hours.] 】
There are too many types of snakes, and Da Mao saw that he was pondering, and reminded:
"Second brother, second brother, third uncle asked if the snake was killed. ”
Only then did Wang He react and said with a smile:
"Killed. The danger is lifted. ”
After speaking, he shouted loudly:
"Third uncle, the snake has been killed, do you still want it?"
When the third uncle heard this, she said loudly:
"What am I going to do? I don't want to! I was scared when I saw it. ”
Wang He agreed. For the sake of insurance, he still slammed the head of the snake several times with a bamboo pole, and Da Mao Ermao also came over to join in the fun, indicating that the snake was killed by three brothers together.
Wang He put the dead snake in a snakeskin bag and carried it home with bamboo shoots. He thought very well, this snake weighed at least three or four pounds, and was ready to be slaughtered to add meat dishes to the family. He just thought about eating, but he forgot that his mother and sister were also women.
After Li Feifeng came back, he saw a large pile of bamboo shoots poured on the sunning grain flat at the door from a distance, and saw that Wang He had already peeled a small half basket of bamboo shoots.
Li Feifeng put down his hoe, took off his straw hat, and said with relief:
"Erer, where did you fold the bamboo shoots? When will you peel them little by little? You take a sickle, peel off one side of the shell, and then use your fingers or chopsticks to wrap and wrap and peel it. ”
Wang Hezheng had a headache with his fingers, and immediately found a sickle and a chopstick to come out after listening to it, and operated it according to what his mother said, and sure enough, it was fast and good to peel up, and his fingers would not hurt.
Wang Yan saw that the rice had been cooked in a pressure cooker, so she peeled the bamboo shoots together. As long as Wang He is at home, he basically cooks the rice, he puts how much water on how much rice, and the heat is in place, and the cooked rice will not be mushy, and the softness and hardness are just right.
Wang He remembered the cobra and shouted:
"Mom, is there still ginger at home?"
"Yes. Last winter's old ginger. What do you want ginger for? The bamboo shoots are just fried with the meat that your father and son bought, and then the soup is made with big bones, so you don't need to put ginger. ”
Wang He stood up and poured out the snake corpse in the snakeskin bag, and said as if offering a treasure:
"Mom, come and see, I hit a big snake, you see how big this snake is...... We've got snake meat to eat!"
Wang Yan was startled when she saw it:
"Ertwo, you hit this snake?"
Li Feifeng came out of the kitchen and was startled:
"Where did you hit such a big snake?"
After listening to Wang He's story about beating the snake, she continued:
"I thought it was where you folded the bamboo shoots. Be careful, spring snakes are very venomous. You put the serpent up. I was scared when I looked at it, and asked me to kill the snake,...... If you don't kill Abba, I won't. ”
At this time, Wang Xiangyu came back, and in the face of his son's request, he also shook his head, saying that he couldn't help, slaughtering chickens and ducks or something, all rural adults were fine, but when it came to slaughtering snakes, not many people had really tried.
In the end, Li Feifeng also felt that it would be a pity if he threw away the snake, and asked Wang He to go to the old house to find his grandfather.
After eating, Wang He called Da Mao Ermao and went straight to the old house, under the guidance of his grandfather and the operation of his uncle, he hung the snake under the big tree in the corner of the house, first used a knife to wrap around the snake's neck, peeled off the snake's skin, and then disemboweled the snake, leaving the snake gallbladder and throwing away the intestines.
Wang He saw that the snake's intestines were small and empty, and guessed that the snake might have overslept in hibernation, and when he woke up, he was hungry and couldn't do it, so he sneaked into the third uncle's house to look for food, but he didn't expect to enter the wrong house, there was no food in it at all, and finally it became human food.
Use a kitchen knife to cut the processed snake body into sections, rinse the snake meat, put it in a large aluminum pot, cut a few pieces of old ginger and put it to remove the fish, add soybeans, pour in half a pot of water, and start to cook snake meat and soybean soup.
The dark blue snake gall is ovoid when removed, and the ends are obtuse and rounded. Grandpa tied the snake gall bladder with a thin thread and hung it on the top edge of the door frame of the hall, which looked like a drop of water. Da Mao didn't know why, but Grandpa explained that it was going to be dried and swallowed with wine.
