Chapter 120 (2) Snakeskins worth 500,000 yuan
To kill the big snake, it is indispensable to prepare for work, this time Miao Lian'er, who followed up the mountain, to help light the fire in Yunyi's house, the cauldron was full of water, ready to be used later when the snake molted.
The blue-gray sharp knife in Miao Laowu's hand was sharpened unhurriedly under the jujube tree, and from time to time he used his fingers to test the sharpness of the knife.
The other four old hunters were busy lifting the big snake and falling on the jujube tree to start using the knife.
Chinese love to eat snakes, the research on how to eat snakes is varied, whether it is a non-poisonous snake or a poisonous snake, it can be eaten (said, please verify it yourself, the protagonist is not clear about the actual situation), non-poisonous snakes are simple to eat, cut off the snake head with scissors, and then peel the skin to cook, steaming and frying whatever you want.
However, if it is a poisonous snake, it is more troublesome to eat, because poisonous snakes contain highly venomous snakes both in snake blood and snake teeth, and the snake blood must be washed before eating, and gloves must be worn to prevent the hemolytic venom from being absorbed by the skin.
For ordinary snakes, you can cut off the head with scissors, but for the snake caught by Yunyi, it is unrealistic; This big snake is three meters long, the thickest part is more than 20 centimeters, the snake's head is nearly 30 centimeters, and the weight is almost 1670 catties.
In order to make it easier to kill the snake, several old hunters tied the snake to the jujube tree, and then hung the snake's head high.
Here a few and the old hunter hung the big snake, and Miao Lao Wu also sharpened the knife, and then walked to the big snake, in the courtyard under the eyes of everyone, the extremely sharp knife was inserted along the extended muscles on the side of the snake's big mouth, and then the small knife kept cutting back and forth along the mouth, and after a while, the skin on the snake's head was peeled off with a knife.
The flesh of the snake's skinned snake head was white, with a few bright red veins and large tendons exposed on the flesh, with a bit of a bloody feeling, which made several female tourists who were holding digital cameras a little sick to their stomachs.
"Squeak!" Wukong, who had been watching Miao Lao Wu curiously from the side, was suddenly taken aback by this scene, squeaked and ran away from here, ran to the kitchen, was held in Miao Lian'er's arms, and never dared to come out again.
"I can't imagine that this guy Wukong is so cowardly, so afraid to see a snake killed!" Among the tourists, there are male tourists who are more daring and are asked to be paid by Wukong.
"This is nothing, the burden of the monkey itself is very small, and I am very scared when I see the chicken, otherwise how can there be the idiom of killing the chicken and the monkey!" One tourist disagreed with him and shook his head in retort.
"Indeed, the monkey seems to be really timid!" Only then did the tourist remember the idiom of killing chickens and monkeys, and couldn't help touching his head with some embarrassment.
Miao Lao Wu, who was busy peeling the snake skin down little by little, couldn't help but smile slightly after listening to the words of the two, put the knife in his hand aside, and said: "This monkey's courage is not small, and he is not afraid of killing chickens at all!" ”
"Fifth Uncle Miao, the idiom says that killing chickens and hacking monkeys means that the burden of monkeys is small, right?" The tourist who retorted looked at Miao Lao Wu and said with a smile, feeling disimpressed by Miao Lao Wu's words, thinking that Miao Lao Wu had never gone to school and did not know how to learn.
"Hehe, when I was young, there were a lot of monkeys on this mountain, and there were often monkeys who came down to the village to steal things, and the people in the village caught the monkeys and killed chickens in front of the monkeys, and these monkeys were afraid at all, and they still came to steal things after they were released!" Miao Lao Wu smiled and told him about monkeys stealing things in the village when he was a child.
When Miao Lao was five years old, almost fifty years ago, the natural environment of Qingyun Mountain Village was even better than now, and there were many large beasts such as tigers, leopards, and black blind people on the mountain, not to mention monkeys and wild boars.
Around the village, wild boars often came to plague the village, and many monkeys did the same, often coming to the village in groups to steal, and stealing things in a very orderly manner.
For example, during the day, when the villagers go to the ground, these monkeys will go into the village to steal, such as salt, bacon, enemas and other things in the villagers' homes to steal the most, such as the clothes that the villagers dry and so on, because some old monkeys are very envious when they see humans wearing clothes, and they will steal clothes and go back to wear.
As for the evening, after the villagers have returned to the village, these monkeys go to the fields to steal things, such as corn, peanuts, potatoes, etc., and the monkeys are very fond of eating, and often come in groups, and steal a lot at a time.
Compared with the fruits and the like in the mountains, crops such as peanuts that have been domesticated by humans taste much more delicious, and the same is true for fruits such as apples and peaches, which are not just wild and delicious.
Although the villagers of Qingyunshan Village are very simple, and the hunters also abide by the rules handed down by their ancestors not to hunt large animals at will, but the villagers can't stand stealing like this, so they think of a way.
It just so happened that there was a teacher sent by Qingyun Commune in the village at that time, and after hearing about this, he also actively offered advice, and came up with such a way to kill chickens and monkeys for the villagers.
The villagers followed the instructions of the young teacher, and after a few hunters caught a few monkeys, they chopped off the head of a chicken in front of the monkeys, and the blood sprayed all over the ground.
However, this method is not easy to use at all, although these monkeys were startled at the time, but after the release of the second photo, the second photo was stolen, which disappointed the villagers very much, and made the young teacher unbelievable.
After listening to Miao Lao Wu's words, these tourists suddenly felt extremely surprised, and they couldn't imagine that these idioms that have been rumored for countless years are not true, and it is really a lot of news.
After gossiping, Miao Lao Wu, who had rested enough, beckoned Yun Yi and a few hunters to come over, and several people stepped forward to grab the peeled snake skin together, and tore it hard together.
Tearing off twenty or thirty centimeters of snake skin, the action of everyone tearing down was not very smooth, so they tied the rope hanging from the body of the big snake a little higher, and then continued to tear it hard.
After tearing like this for less than half an hour, the snakeskin was finally completely peeled off before dark, and the snakeskin, which was more than three meters long and cylindrical and flattened more than forty centimeters wide, looked very amazing, especially after the snakeskin in turn exposed gray-white scales, it looked very different.
"Yunyi, sell me this snake skin, I'll give you 50,000 yuan!" A tourist about forty years old was very moved when he looked at this snake skin, so he said to Yun Yi.
"Fifty thousand!" The villagers of Qingyun Mountain Village were taken aback when they heard that Yunyi's snake skin could be sold for 50,000 yuan, which was a great amount in their eyes.
For a while, for Yunyi's good luck, these villagers sighed.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to keep this snake skin for myself" Yun Yi smiled slightly, shook his head and refused the tourist's request.
"100,000 yuan, how about it?" The tourist said unrelentingly, it seems that the snake skin of this big snake is not an ordinary thing, and the snake scales are even rarer.
"I really don't sell it, I'll keep this snake skin useful, don't you bid!" Yun Yi still shook his head and refused, he was not short of money, and this snake skin was a really good thing, how could it be sold?
"500,000, Yunyi, if you are willing to cut your love, sell it to me, if you don't want to, I won't mention it!" This tourist seemed to be a little reluctant, but he was still ruthless to Yun Yidao.
"Five hundred thousand!" The onlookers were also taken aback, although 500,000 is nothing in the city, even a house can be sold for 100,000; But they were amazed that this seemingly useless snake skin could sell for 500,000 yuan.
"This gentleman, I will never sell this snake skin, even if I give 10 million!" Yun Yi reluctantly spoke again, and said in a very resolute tone, so that the onlookers really confirmed Yun Yi's determination not to sell it to death.
Seeing that Yunyi still didn't sell the snakeskin in the end, the onlookers were full of emotion, sighing for Yunyi missing this opportunity to make a fortune
