A one-meter-five silver snake costs only two hundred yuan?

After hearing the price quoted by the old farmer, Rao was stunned for half a minute before coming back to his senses with Li Yu's heart.

Then he slapped his head, hey, why did you forget that the ban on meat in this world has just been lifted!

The decades-long lifting of the ban on meat has caused a large number of recipes to be lost, and the other has greatly affected the price of various ingredients.

Especially for wild snakes, which are unpopular ingredients that have no breeding costs, in the absence of a price benchmark, sellers like old farmers can only quote according to their own valuations.

After thinking about this, Li Yu no longer hesitated, and spent two hundred yuan to buy this silver krait, the old farmer was also quite satisfied with this, this silver krait was an unexpected gain when entering the mountain, and after taking the money, he put the silver ring into a big bag and handed it to Li Yu.

Li Yu took the bag and walked back to the car quickly.

As soon as he got into the car, Wang Tao said, "Xiaoyu, why did you buy the snake? If it is a poisonous snake, isn't it harmful to eat it?"

In the past few minutes just now, he saw the whole process of Li Yu buying snakes through the car window, and now that Li Yu is back, he said the doubts in his heart.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry," Li Yu smiled, pointed to the bag containing the snake and said: "The venom glands of poisonous snakes will not affect snake meat, I was back then... Eh, I learned to make snake meat in the Demon Capital and Lei Qilian Lei Seventh Section a while ago, and tonight I will show you a good hand, so you can free up your stomach and prepare to eat it!"

Regarding Wang Tao's doubts, Li Yu didn't want to explain too much, so he directly moved out of the mountain of Lei Qilian. Sure enough, after learning that Li Yu and Lei Qilian had learned to cook snake meat, Wang Tao didn't ask any more.

There were still some ingredients at home, so Li Yu didn't stay too much in the central market and drove straight back to Wang Tao's house.

After arriving home, Li Yu first took Wang Tao to see his room (guest room), and then asked the little girl to take Wang Tao back to the master bedroom to clean up the mattress, and he himself selected a few low-cholesterol ingredients from the refrigerator and came to the kitchen with a bag containing a silver krait.

Simply cleaned up the slot, and then Li Yu carefully poured the snake out of the bag, and at the same time the person also pushed it half a meter outside the slot, and after ten seconds or so, he saw that the slot did not move, and touched the snake's jaw, side and abdomen with a spatula, and saw that the snake was still motionless, so he put his mind at ease and walked to the side of the slot to deal with the snake meat.

One might wonder, isn't this snake already dead, and why be so careful?

This involves common sense: snakes still move when they die.

Snakes belong to the lower animals, and the nerve centers of the lower animals are distributed in various organs, and with the evolution of organisms, the higher nerve centers of animals are concentrated in the brain. Therefore, once a high-level animal like a human is brain dead, all the action instructions will stop, and it is impossible to do any action.

The snake is different from humans, its nerve center is distributed not only in the brain, but also in its whole body, and each part of its body can maintain the original motor function for a period of time after it is separated from the whole.

Therefore, within a few hours of death, the snake may burst out and injure people.

Taking Guangdong Province as an example, there are no less than 100 chefs in Guangdong Province who are bitten to death by dead snakes every year, and even experienced chefs will be recruited if they are not careful. Once a chef is bitten by snakes such as the Silver Ring, the Five Steps, and the Eye Snake, the survival rate will not exceed ten percent unless the hospital is lucky enough to be nearby.

Because of this, the annual salary of the top chefs who cook poisonous snakes in Guangdong Province starts at two or three million, and some snake soup restaurants will even give the chef a certain share.

Like some snake soup with a price of tens of thousands or more, the hotel will pack a big red envelope for the chef after the dish is cooked.

Li Yu touched the three sensitive points of the silver ring with a spatula, so he was 100% sure that the silver ring was dead.

There was only one bloody wound on the snake's body at seven inches, and the rest of the body remained intact... Seeing this situation, Li Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly cut off the snake's head first, and then cut open the snake's abdomen.

Sure enough, the snake had a ... Snake gall!

Snake gallbladder is the gallbladder that stores bile sweat in the snake's body, which is cool, bitter and slightly sweet, has the effect of dispelling wind, dehumidifying, cooling and brightening eyes, detoxifying and removing prickly heat, and can adjust and replenish the human nervous system, endocrine system and immune system, and delay the aging of the body.

In particular, the snake gall of the wild extreme type silver krait! The value of this one starts at least 500 yuan! In some cases, it is not impossible for a single snake gall to reach 1,000.

However, although snake gall bladder has high medicinal and edible value, there are often parasites in it, which must be prepared and disinfected by liquor, and then swallowed directly.

With this snake gall alone, the little girl doesn't have to worry about prickly heat in her life.

Putting the snake gall aside, Li Yu put his mind back on the snake meat processing.

The venom glands of the poisonous snake are very clear, and after chopping off the snake's head, Li Yu slashed twice at the snake's neck, and then gently pumped, and the two extremely resilient venom glands were pulled out like this. Then Li Yu put the two venom glands in a bag and sealed them, and then threw them directly into the trash can outside.

This is followed by peeling, chopping, and after a few moments, the cutting board is covered with snow-white snake segments.

After the snake body is processed, it is time to cook.

There are many ways to make snake meat, for example, in Guangdong Province, cat meat is often stewed with snake meat, which is the famous dragon and tiger fight, or stewed with chicken, which is dragon and phoenix fight.

Speaking of dragon and tiger fighting... Li Yu looked at Xiaobai who was surrounded by his feet and smiled...

Xiaobai: ???

However, after thinking about it again, Li Yu still gave up the plan to fight the dragon and tiger, after all, if he did the dragon and tiger fight, the little girl would find an opportunity to poison him with drugs...

Jokes aside, the cooking method prepared by Li Yu is... Stewed.

That's right, stew, just add water and a little salt, even if you don't even add the fishy ginger slices.

This is the simplest method, but it is also the most reflective of the snake meat 'fresh' method, the more venomous the snake, the better the taste of the stew.

Li Yu put the snake segment into the pot and simmered slowly over low heat.

The poisonous snake makes soup, but there is a hidden easter egg.

Two hours later, Li Yu estimated that the time was almost up, and moved the soup pot out.

As the lid of the pot was lifted, an easter egg also jumped out - a piece of turquoise snake soup.

That's right, the soup changes color, this is a little easter egg of poisonous snake soup! Even if you wash the snake meat cleanly, as long as it is a highly poisonous snake, the soup will definitely change color, this soup does not have any toxins, it is indeed a real tonic!
