The smoke from the burning straw was constantly fanned into the vole hole by Cai Hongming, and after a while, a trace of smoke came out of the cracked dry hard soil on the ridge.

Cai Zhengxian, who was on the side, saw it, and hurriedly dug some soil from the field and pasted the smoke leakage.

He and Cai Hongming are experts in catching voles and are very skilled in dealing with these accidents.

When there was no longer smoke on the ridge, the smoke in the vole hole was poured into the back of the cave by the fan that Cai Hongming fanned, and it was only a moment before a little smoke came out of the back hole. As time went on, the smoke became more intense. The vole inside couldn't hold it and came out of the hole, just in the bag that covered the hole.

Cai Hongsheng saw that there was movement, picked up a baseball bat and hit it. After a few beatings, I saw that the bag was not moving, so I picked up the bag and opened it.

"Ahh

Inside the bag was a snake that seemed to be stunned by the smoke, but woke up again by his rude movements. Seeing him open the bag, he greeted him with his tongue sticking out in a friendly way.

Cai Hongsheng screamed in fright and threw the bag out. The snake was able to escape and swam swiftly to the side.

The snake is a non-poisonous grass flower snake, extremely fat, at least the skewer (longer than the flat one, about two meters, the same is to pick things) long, and I don't know how to run into the vole hole.

As soon as Cai Hongming saw the fat grass flower snake running out of the bag, he immediately picked up the hoe next to him and chased after it. Cai Zhengxian didn't have anything in his hand, and when he saw the baseball bat that Cai Hongsheng threw next to him, he picked it up and ran towards the grass flower snake quickly. Although the speed of the grass flower snake is fast, it is not as fast as Cai Hongming and Cai Zhengxian, who are full of essence when they see the fat grass flower snake.

Cai Hongming caught up first, picked up the hoe and hit the snake's head, missed it, and hit it again.

Later, Cai Zhengxian caught up, raised the baseball bat and beckoned to the snake. The grass flower snake was hit at once, and it rolled over there in pain. Cai Hongming smashed the head of the snake with a hoe again, and it was immediately flattened, and he died all of a sudden. He deliberately did not smash his body, because after smashing his body, he would have bruises on the snake flesh when he peeled off the skin, and it tasted very bad. But my friend has already called, so it's hard to say anything.

Cai Hongming grabbed the dead grass flower snake and weighed it, to say the least, it was five or six catties.

"I haven't eaten snake meat for a long time, so it's time to improve my food at night." Cai Zhengxian looked at the fat grass flower snake and said.

"I haven't eaten it for a long time, so I'll go back and catch an old hen to stew in soup." Cai Hongming said with a smile.

"Brother, there are hens at home, and they don't lay eggs when they cluck all day long, my mother has wanted to kill them for a long time, and today is just the right day." Cai Hongsheng also came over and said.

Cai Hongming saw it and slapped it, "You are very good at eating, but when you see a snake, you can slip faster than anyone else." ”

"Am I not afraid that it will bite me?" Cai Hongsheng said quietly.

"It's not poisonous, what are you afraid of."

Cai Hongming has nothing to say to this younger brother. No one can compare to him when eating, so that he has nothing to rely on. When he was pregnant in his mother's womb and didn't come out until the village for the festival in October, his mother had already predicted that this must be a glutton, otherwise he wouldn't have come out after eating. Now that I think about it, he's a prophetic emperor.

After teaching Cai Hongsheng a lesson, Cai Hongming asked him to go home to get a knife and a basin for things, while he and Cai Zhengxian continued to look for voles in the field.

By noon, they had harvested a dozen voles.

So many voles were enough to eat for a meal, so Cai Hongming stopped looking for them, and killed the captured voles and snakes with Cai Zhengxian by the ditch, and skinned them for meat.

Some people like to eat snake skin and vole skin and feel chewy, this habit is not advisable. Because after all, these things grow in the mountains and wilderness, and when they go in and out of various treacherous and eerie places, it is inevitable that they will get dirty and grow insects, so it is better to peel them off.

In the end, the two of them peeled out a pot of white flower meat, turned it home, and scooped the old hen that Cai Hongsheng had worked hard to raise for nearly three years to stew grass flower snakes.

The old hen stewed snake has a name called dragon and phoenix, and there are two ways to make this dish, and the taste and appearance are not the same.

The first one is very simple, just put the snake, the old hen, and the ginger shreds into a crockpot and stew them, and after the stew is done, you just need to add anything, because the old hen and the snake themselves are very replenished.

The second kind is a little cumbersome, first of all, the snake meat is cut into sections and marinated in rice wine and ginger slices, then the oil is put in the hot pan to put the ginger, the ginger is burst out of the ginger oil, and then the old hen and the snake meat are stir-fried until they are dry and then put the water down, and finally put some ginseng slices down and cover the lid to stew. The old hen snake soup cooked in this way, yellow with white, white with yellow, both the richness of chicken soup and the deliciousness of snake soup, can be described as "bear in the fish paw both". Oh, no, it's "the best of both worlds".

Cai Hongming used the second method, because it was only with this method that all the nutrients on the old hen and snake could be extracted.

After dealing with the snake and the old hen, Cai Hongming attacked the vole meat in the pot again.

He sliced half of the rat meat, then put green onions, mushroom slices, red dates, ginger slices, salt, soy sauce, etc., scooped well, thickened with wet powder, and steamed in a steamer. This steamed vole is the most original, fragrant and tender, and very delicious. Next, he put oil in a hot pan and put sugar, boiled out the syrup, put the rat meat down and stir-fried, then added soy sauce and other spices to simmer together, and when he was halfway through cooking, he put the cooked cone chestnut meat in it and cooked. When there is only a little thick soup at the end, this braised vole meat is a success.

The braised vole meat is bright in color and delicious, with the sweetness of the local cone chestnut in Fujian Province, and the concentrated essence of the mountain elves of the vole itself, which is very rare.

At noon, the old hen stewed snake soup and two vole meat suddenly became the focus of everyone's chase. Cai Lang, who originally only had a bowl of rice, ate an extra bowl of rice at noon. Cai Hongsheng, who hadn't eaten this delicious food for a long time, was even more full of belly fat, and after eating, he was still unsatisfied, and picked up Cai Hongming to catch voles.

Cai Hongming would listen to him, hehe directly.

Two days later, his uncle summoned him to go fishing. He took Hongsheng and called his friend Zhengxian and went directly to the harbor where the yacht was parked.

When he came to the yacht, he saw that there were already seven or eight people on it, most of them middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, and two young girls, who were talking to his cousin Qiaohong next to him. When Lu Qitian saw them coming, he introduced the people on the boat and went to sail.

"Qiaohong, why are you here?" Cai Hongsheng came to the side of a few girls and asked Lu Qiaohong without words.

"Why can't my yacht come?" Lu Qiaohong glanced at him angrily.

Among the many cousins, she didn't like the one in front of her the most. When she was in school, her grades were poor, and she often teased herself, and once she burned a new mink scarf that her mother bought for her, and she was so angry that she was half dead. However, she called her second uncle to complain, and it is said that the second uncle cleaned him up fiercely.

No one knows about this, and she just hides it in her heart, so Cai Hongsheng is still confused about who the original whistleblower was.
