Chapter 56: The Snake Feast

I saw a black and yellow, as thick as a child's arm, in the bamboo basket, raising its head, and two dark eyes staring at Mu Jincheng vigilantly, as if they were about to jump up and bite the prey in front of them in the next moment.

Mu Jincheng suddenly felt that all the hairs around his body stood up, he was a human being in two lives, and the things he was afraid of had always remained the same, full of fear of all smooth and sticky ~ greasy and cold living creatures, even a small loach could make him nauseous and sick to his stomach for a long time, not to mention the big snake coiled in front of him.

"Who brought this thing? Throw it out! Bao Ying came out one step later, saw Mu Jincheng's face pale, thought that he was about to have hysteria again, hurriedly ran over, saw the snake on the ground, was angry, flew up, and kicked the bamboo basket away.

The bamboo basket rolled all the way, the lid was opened in an instant, and the big snake that regained its freedom rushed out, swinging its tail rapidly, and swam to the nearest grass.

"Don't run!" How could Liang Mancang see the big snake that he had finally caught, so he fled, he caught up in a few steps, his big hand like iron tongs, pinched the snake's seven inches, and violently picked up the snake, this big snake was as long as Liang Mancang's height of more than eight feet.

Although the big snake is pinched, but it is powerful and fierce, the idea of survival makes it twist its body violently, a few times it wrapped around Liang Mancang's right arm, clamped hard, the top of the snake's head is golden, there are black lines like the word king, some people call it the king snake, this snake is not poisonous, but the size is large, the action is fast, very hungry, even the lamb can be strangled and swallowed, it can be seen that the strength is amazing.

"Brother Mancang!" Seeing this, Gu Qingzhu rushed up to untie the snake's tail.

But the snake was at the threshold of life and death, desperately exerting force, just untying a little, and then wrapping it tighter and tighter, until Liang Mancang's arm tightened more and more, his skin quickly became red, and the green tendons burst out.

"Quick...... Get a knife! The panicked Mu Jincheng turned his head and ordered Baoying.

Bao Ying didn't know that he was in such a big disaster, and he was frightened for a while, and rushed to the kitchen in a hurry.

Liang Mancang was calm, only to see that his left hand was not far from the snake's tail, and he used a ~ top, the snake suddenly seemed to fall apart, and immediately relaxed, and his body hung down softly, and Liang Mancang easily reloaded it into the bamboo basket.

The onlookers were originally sweating for Liang Mancang, but at this time, seeing that he easily subdued the big snake, I don't know who took the lead, suddenly burst into warm applause and happy laughter, Gu Qingzhu carefully checked his arm, and saw that he was back to normal, and he was fine, so he also laughed.

When she laughed, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, bright like the warm breeze at this time, warm and intoxicating, Mu Jincheng suddenly felt bored in his heart, and sighed unconsciously, this girl's smile has always been very stingy to him, but she gave it all to others without reservation.

"Knife ...... The knife is coming! Bao Ying carried a kitchen knife and ran out of breath.

"Don't be ashamed, people don't need it!" Mu Jincheng said angrily.

"Do you want to eat this? If you don't dare, our agreement will be written off. Gu Qingzhu walked up to him with his hands behind his back and said with the corners of his mouth curled.

"You ......" Mu Jincheng gritted his teeth, Gu Qingzhu hit it crookedly, and he was pinching what he was most afraid of.

"Do you dare?!" Gu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and asked provocatively.

Mu Jincheng was successfully provoked by her: "Joke, isn't it just a snake, you dare to kill the roasted vegetables, I don't dare to eat it!" ”

"This snake was caught by Brother Mancang in the morning, it is more than ten catties, and if you want to eat, you must give money first, not much, as long as one hundred Wen." Gu Qingzhu stretched out his pink and tender hand to him.

Her palms are not big, her five fingers are slender, and because of the long-term tea picking, her fingertips are more or less stained with dark tea juice, exuding a faint tea fragrance, which has a unique elegant charm.

Mu Jincheng has never had resistance to his slender fingers, and at this moment, he was stunned for a while, but the fly in the ointment was that the scar left by the last knife wound had not completely disappeared, which made him feel guilty and distressed.

"Lustful! Enough of it! Gu Qingzhu saw him staring at her hand, his face turned red, he retracted his hand, and scolded in a low voice.

"Ahem! Bao Ying, give him a hundred Wen! Mu Jincheng was scolded by her, retracted his gaze in embarrassment, and pretended to cough.

"This ......, master, you don't eat this again, it's a waste!" Bao Ying muttered.

"Later, Second Master Qian is coming, so let's treat him." Mu Jincheng waved his hand.

Bao Ying reluctantly took the money to Liang Mancang, and it was their turn to sell the tea in front, Gu Qingzhu sold two hundred wen today, and carefully put the money into his purse.

After what happened just now, Mu Jincheng had to allow Liang Mancang to follow Gu Qingzhu into the kitchen to help, such a big live snake, he really didn't dare to let a girl touch it.

When he entered the kitchen, Gu Qingzhu found that there were many more things than yesterday, there was a whole ham, a large piece of bacon, and a few wind geese hanging on the beam, and the board was lined up with delicate small cans of five-spice powder, pepper, pepper powder, and fine salt, and there were all kinds of large and small wine jars stacked in the corner, and there was even a chicken stewed on the stove, which was just simmered, and there was no smell.

These were all sent from Nancang County early this morning, yesterday the Lu family heard that Mu Jincheng had a bad stomach outside, and he was so anxious that he couldn't come immediately, but because Mu Shaotang was still angry, he had to endure it, and sent someone to send it here early in the morning, and also called Mama Zhao from his own small kitchen to take care of him.

"Third master, the ginseng chicken soup is not good yet." Mama Zhao was in the wing room next to her, and when she saw a group of people coming, she hurriedly came out.

"Mama, you come here the first day, rest first, and this girl will make dinner tonight." Mu Jincheng nodded at her.

"This ...... How can this be, Madame sent the old slave to serve you. Mama Zhao shook her head again and again.

"Today's ingredients are unusual, so it's better not to mix them." Mu Jincheng pointed to Liang Mancang's bamboo basket and said.

Mama Zhao looked at his fingers, and saw a wriggling golden snake belly, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes and called Amitabha, she didn't dare to look at it anymore, Baoying saw the eyes of her master, and helped Mama Zhao down knowingly.

"You can go too, otherwise, you won't dare to eat for a while." Gu Qingzhu rolled up his sleeves and said.

"You can only use the ingredients here, I'll ...... If I don't leave, I'm not afraid. Mu Jincheng held on and sat down far away.

Liang Mancang didn't care whether he was afraid or not, he took out a bowl, pinched the snake's head, took out a special narrow knife from behind his waist, and cut off the snake's head in one fell swoop, and blood splashed into the bowl.

The big snake didn't seem to have time to struggle, and it had already convulsed and died, and Mu Jincheng's scalp was numb when he saw it.

Liang Mancang skillfully peeled the snake's skin, striving to be intact, because it was freshly killed, the flesh under the skin could still see a slight tremor, he carefully removed the snake gall, rinsed it with soju, and soaked it in half a bowl of wine.

In a few moments, the black and white serpent took off its flower clothes, washed it, cut it in half, and turned it into a white and tender strip of meat.

Gu Qingzhu boiled two pots of water, and after a while, the water in one pot boiled, put the snakeskin to blanch the water, and when a large amount of white foam rolled out in the pot, she immediately fished out the snakeskin, and Liang Mancang spread the snakeskin in the shower on the entire board, slowly scraping the scales.

As soon as the pot was washed, the water in the other pot was also boiled, Gu Qingzhu picked the plump front part of the snake meat and put it in the water, added soju, ginger, and green onion as ingredients and boiled together, boiled over high heat, and simmered slowly over low heat.

This meat has to be simmered for half an hour, taking advantage of this time, Gu Qingzhu soaked some fungus mushrooms and took a little ham meat, at this time, the chicken soup on the stove was filled with a fragrant taste.

Cut off the remaining half of the snake meat, add shochu, green onions, ginger slices, garlic granules, refined salt, pepper and stir and marinate thoroughly, and take more than a dozen salted duck eggs to cook, take the salted duck egg yolk and mash it for later use.

Shred the fungus, blanch it and set aside, shred the mushrooms and ham, and Gu Qingzhu took off the chicken breast on the whole chicken in the wind stove.

After Gu Qingzhu finished doing this, Liang Mancang just cleaned up the snake skin, he turned to the fire, and Gu Qingzhu cut the snake skin into small pieces half a finger width, steamed a cup of tea on high fire in a steamer, and took it out to cool.

Stir-fry a handful of white sesame seeds, boil chili oil with dried chili peppers, chop minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped coriander, add salt, vinegar and sesame oil, mix well with snake skin, and finally sprinkle sesame seeds to decorate and increase the fragrance, so that a plate of black and white mixed with bright red and emerald green cold snake skin is ready.

The snake segment in the pot is almost cooked, take it out and dry, Gu Qingzhu first tears the chicken breast into very fine shreds according to the texture, and then tears the snake meat into fine shreds, in another pot, pour half a pot of chicken soup, add the snake soup just cooked, and pour all the prepared snake meat, chicken, ham, fungus, and mushrooms into it to boil.

took another small bowl and hooked the thin root with kudzu powder, Gu Qingzhu saw a box with a large dried golden chrysanthemum, so he took one and soaked it in cold water.

About half a pillar of incense, the extremely fresh taste fills the kitchen, Gu Qingzhu beat the thin thick evenly, poured it into the boiling pot, soon, the original light soup became slightly viscous, she sprinkled the petals of the dried chrysanthemum on the soup, stirred with a spoon, the floating and heavy petals steamed out of the elegance of the autumn breeze, the more fragrant the kitchen became, and the nourishing snake soup in a pot was perfectly presented.

Start another oil pot, when the hand feels the heat, put the previously marinated snake segments into the pot and fry them, stir the spatula in time, and when the surface is slightly yellow, they will scoop up and drain the oil, and those snake segments are enough to fry two large plates.

The oil pot was hot again, Gu Qing fried a plate of snake duanfu again, this time it was going to be fried until golden and crispy, and after it came out of the pot, it was directly sprinkled with the mixed pepper and salt.

In a small pot, pour oil to boil salted duck egg powder until the bottom of the pot bubbles, then pour the remaining plate of fried snake segments into it, stir evenly, so that each snake segment is completely covered with golden salted duck egg powder.

After this meal was cooked, Mu Jincheng was stunned, almost forgetting that he was afraid, he was not only amazed that Gu Qingzhu could make the dishes colorful, flavorful, and delicious, but also envious of Liang Mancang's cooperation with her without communicating and discussing, just a stunned, a pause, he could hand her what she wanted in front of her.

How many years does it take to get along with each other to develop such a tacit understanding, and what kind of relationship is it between them?

Mu Jincheng was jealous, very jealous!

It's just that he doesn't know what this emotion is that makes him extremely unhappy but has nowhere to vent.
