Chapter 184: Dragon and Phoenix Soup
When Zhao Yuanchao went back, he told Uncle Zhao about asking them to help cut down trees, and Zhao Tianzhu readily agreed this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoA lot of money is out, and I don't care about the strength of this body anymore, it's better to be refreshing and do this thing more beautifully.
And Tang Nengzhen is not very happy, the money is for them to pay, and now they have to help with this trivial matter of cutting down trees, and they really don't miss the opportunity to enslave their family.
But the old man agreed, and if she jumped out to oppose it at this time, the old man and the eldest son would definitely be unhappy. I can't help it, I have to endure it if I am not happy.
After breakfast, Zhao Tianzhu took his sons to Uncle Zhao's house, while Li Mei and the women stayed at home to finish the unfinished red lotus powder.
There is not much red lotus powder left in the family, so for Li Mei, even without the help of men, they can complete the task very easily.
Li Mei's powder hasn't finished yet, and Zhao Tianzhu and the others are back. And Zhao Yuanchao also caught a snake in his hand.
Nine out of ten women are scared of snakes. So when they saw the snake caught in Zhao Yuanchao's hand, Li Mei and the others were all frightened.
"Brother Zhao, what are you doing when you catch this thing? Now that the weather is so cold, shouldn't the snake have hibernated a long time ago?" When Li Mei saw the snake, she was first scared, and then wondered why she could catch the snake in this season. After all, snakes are the most cold-sensitive animals, and when it gets cold, they will burrow into their holes and hibernate until the weather warms up the following year.
"This is also our luck, we cut down the tree, thinking of digging up the stump buried in the soil for firewood, then we knew that not far from the tree dug a snake hole, and saw that there was a cauliflower snake in it, so I caught him. Zhao Yuanchao explained simply.
Li Mei saw that Zhao Yuanchao said with a relaxed face, but she also knew that this snake was not like this, so she simply stayed there and waited for you to catch it, and it took a lot of effort to catch this snake.
"Boss, go get some scissors and get this snake gall out. With a happy face, Zhao Tianzhu directly ordered Zhao Yuanchao to take the snake gall.
"Dad, do you want to eat this snake gall bladder?" Zhao Wenping asked curiously when he heard that Zhao Tianzhu wanted to take snake gall bladder.
"yes, what? Do you want to eat it too?"
Zhao Wenping waved his hand directly when he heard this, "I don't want to eat this." ”
"If you don't want to eat, don't talk so much nonsense. Zhao Tianzhu glared at Zhao Wenping.
And Li Mei on the side couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she heard it. Bitter gall is bitter, and I don't know what is delicious. Others don't care what Li Mei thinks. Zhao Yuanchao asked Li Mei to go back to the house and take out the scissors, wash them with water, and then directly cut the scissors on the snake, and took out the bitter gall on the snake very skillfully.
After Zhao Yuanchao took out the snake bitter gall, he handed it directly to Zhao Tianzhu. Zhao Tianzhu took the bitter gall, sent it directly to his mouth without saying a word, and swallowed the bitter gall with cold water while it was hot.
Zhao Tianzhu swallowed bitter gall alive, which made Li Mei feel quite disgusting, but Zhao Zijun's children were not afraid at all, their eyes stared at Zhao Tianzhu, but they didn't blink.
Here, Zhao Tianzhu has just swallowed the bitter gall, and over there, Zhao Yuanchao has already begun to skin the snake. Zhao Yuanchao skinned the snake, and Zhao Wenping and the others were not idle, but went to the stove house to bring out the pot, and waited to prepare to cook snake meat in the yard.
It is said that boiled snake meat cannot be cooked in the house. Because there is smoke and dust in the house, if the smoke and dust fall into the pot, people will eat it and it will be poisonous. As for whether this statement is true, no one has confirmed it. However, if anyone catches a snake and cooks snake meat to eat, they will cook the pot outside like the Zhao family.
Zhao Wenping and the others set up the pot, and Uncle Zhao came over with a chicken. He handed the chicken in his hand directly to Li Mei, and said, "This snake meat stewed with chicken will taste better." ”
Li Mei has naturally heard of this practice, it is said that snake meat is cooked with chicken, and others have also given this dish a very lofty name, called dragon and phoenix soup.
Although Li Mei has never eaten such a thing as a snake, she has heard others mention how good this snake tastes when it is made with chicken.
However, Li Mei did not pick up the chicken in Uncle Zhao's hand, although she wanted to taste the taste of this dragon and phoenix soup, but this chicken can be regarded as a big gift, if Zhao Yuanchao did not nod, Li Mei really didn't dare to pick it up.
"You go on first, I just said it, the uncle's family has a chicken, our family has a snake, and today we will have a tooth sacrifice. Zhao Yuanchao nodded and agreed to let Li Mei accept the chicken brought by Uncle Zhao. Originally, Uncle Zhao said that he was sending a chicken to the Zhao family, and Uncle Zhao originally planned to kill a chicken today to entertain Zhao Tianzhu and his family, but when he saw that Zhao Yuan caught a snake towards them, he didn't mention that they would go to his house for dinner at noon.
After all, if he mentions it at this time, it will make people think that he wants to take the snake for himself. So, he offered to give them a chicken.
Although Uncle Zhao is well-intentioned, Zhao Yuanchao and they can't accept him as a chicken casually, after all, a chicken can be regarded as an important property for a family.
But Uncle Zhao insisted, and in the end, Zhao Yuanchao had no choice but to say that their family was out of snakes, Uncle Zhao was out of chickens, and the two families had a tooth sacrifice together.
Now that Zhao Yuanchao has spoken, Li Mei will naturally not object again.
Soon the chicken and snake were cleaned up, and Zhao Yuanchao cut the chicken into small pieces, and the snake was cut into sections. Then wash it twice with water, then throw the snake meat and chicken into the pot and stew together. It was really a clear stew, and nothing else was put in the pot except for a little ginger.
After this pot of dragon and phoenix soup was stewed, Zhao Yuanchao divided the pot of soup into two parts with a basin. One was sent to Uncle Zhao's family, and one was left for his own family to eat.
Uncle Zhao's share was brought over by Zhao Wenping, and when Zhao Wenping went to deliver something, the people who were waiting to eat dragon and phoenix soup at home were about to stay.
As soon as Zhao Wenping came back, he was ready to eat.
A snake and a chicken look at the meat, but just now I gave one to Uncle Zhao's family, and Zhao Yuanchao in order to let Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao eat more, Uncle Zhao's share is obviously more than their family, and the Zhao family is also a lot, each person gets a bowl of meat and soup, and the pot has basically become clean.
Because Tang Nengzhen was not at home, everyone left a bowl for her alone. When she comes back, if the bowl of meat is cold, she can just burn it and heat it up. However, with her virtue, if she knew that everyone didn't wait for her when they ate meat, and she didn't know if she would make trouble when she came back, and she also sent meat to Uncle Zhao's house, she didn't know that she could accept this fact.
