Chapter 19: Delicacies
In less than an hour, Xu Wenlong was covered in mud and turned back from the field, and with him a long string of fat and tender field chickens, (a kind of frog, black-brown, large in size, and delicious in flesh.) A couple of round, chubby, fat voles, and even a three-pound southern snake. The southern snake has been knocked unconscious, and is paralyzed and motionless tied to the straw rope, mopping all the way to the ground.
Xu Wenlong returned to the small river of the oil mill, raised his head and whistled happily, and carefully admired the prey he had caught, as if he was looking at a plate of fragrant, hot and delicious delicacies. After reading and seeing enough, he turned out the black dagger and carefully washed it with the clear river water. He started with the chicken, gutted it, skinned it, rinsed it and put it in a plastic bag. Then recuperate the fat southern snake, pinch the snake's head, and gently scratch it on its snow-white belly with a dagger. With a "bang", the snakeskin flipped to both sides, oozing out drops of blood. Then grasp the eversion snake skin and pull it hard, revealing the white and tender snake flesh as if taking off a coat. The last knife cuts off the head of the snake, cuts it into pieces of meat, and puts it together with the processed field chicken.
Next it was the turn of the meaty vole. The voles have been dead for a long time, and their heads hang like fat piglets. Xu Wenlong used the method of washing and cutting field chickens, first rinsed the voles one by one, carefully cut a hole in their abdomen with a dagger, dragged off the internal organs, and threw them far away to the center of the river. Then carefully close the incision and rinse it several times with the river water. Finally, find some wet mud and paste it tightly on the gutted vole, ready to put it in the fire to simmer.
After the "delicacies" were taken care of, Xu Wenlong picked them up and hurriedly turned around the oil mill, dismantled the old and strange wooden frames, collected the wooden planks scattered all over the place, and carefully built a bonfire in the corner of the house. First, the vole wrapped in mud is put into the fire to simmer, and then the clean frog meat and snake meat are slowly grilled on the fire with branches......
After a while, the color of frog meat and snake meat gradually changed, from white to yellow, from yellow to red. The fragrant fragrance wafts in the wind and permeates the entire oil mill. Xu Wenlong, who had not seen meat for a few days, was salivating, salivating, and wanted to swallow them all in one gulp. Seeing that the heat was almost over, he quickly took out the chili sauce and patiently applied it to the roasted field chicken and snake meat one by one.
That's it, and the sumptuous dinner begins.
Xu Wenlong carefully pinched a crunchy and fragrant field chicken with two fingers, admired it with a comfortable gaze, then opened his mouth and took a small bite, chewed a few chews slowly, closed his eyes and slowly savored it......
Ah, the wonderful pleasure that rushes through the whole body like electricity, the long-lost shudder that flutters like a fairy in the sky, finally comes back, and finally experiences it again. It's really indescribably comfortable, indescribably hearty, and indescribably comfortable.
Xu Wenlong ate the field chicken with the belt bones clean, followed by the second and third...... Its speed is incredible, and its gluttonous appearance makes people laugh.
It wasn't until he ate eight field chickens and two pieces of snake meat that Xu Wenlong stopped with a full burp. Wipe your mouth, pat your belly, and smile with satisfaction on your face. After a short break, he picked up another stick and pulled out the mud that had been simmering in the fire. With a gentle pat of his hand, the mud ball immediately split apart, and the rat hair fell off together, revealing the hot and fragrant vole meat inside, which looked very attractive.
Dip the remaining snake meat and rat chicken in chili peppers, wrap them carefully, and carefully put them in the bag. Xu Wenlong then walked out of the oil mill, took off his coat, plunged into the river with a thud, and swam heartily. When he was tired of swimming and washed, he jumped onto the riverbank, put on his clothes, went back to the oil mill to pick a clean place, and fell asleep soundly against the wall......
The sun rises in the east and shines brightly. The dilapidated oil mill was rejuvenated from the inside out under the sun, and suddenly became much more beautiful. Xu Wenlong slept soundly for one night, radiant and energetic. Hurriedly got up to rinse his mouth and wash his face, ate barbecue breakfast, hurriedly picked up his bag and walked to the highway, and took the bus back to Binyang.
After wandering into the city, he came to a color TV production company, and an advertisement for recruiting security guards attracted Xu Wenlong. However, if you look at the time carefully, it was posted five or six days ago, and I don't know if anyone was recruited. After thinking about it and hesitating for a while, he finally decided to go in and inquire. After all, this is a rare opportunity and should not be missed. What if you haven't hired anyone yet?
Entering the factory, looking for the leader, explaining the intention, only a few words, Xu Wenlong came out dejected. On the day the advertisement was posted, the color television company had already recruited the necessary personnel. He came late, and too late.
It seems that the reality is as Director Li said, the most important thing in Binyang City is indeed a two-legged person. But it doesn't matter, Xu Wenlong has solved his worries and is ready to prepare for war for a long time. Anyway, there is time, so let's use it as an urban survival training. Optimistically, it's okay to think of it as a bustling sightseeing tour along the ocean.
"Enjoyable sightseeing" When the sun is shining in the sky and the heat is unbearable, pedestrians on the street rush to various restaurants and restaurants. It's time for dinner again, and I have to replenish my exhausted stamina.
Xu Wenlong came to a noodle restaurant and sat down, asked for a bowl of hot and cheapest wontons, took out frog meat, snake meat and rat meat stained with chili peppers, and ate and drank with a mouthful of wontons and meat. He was reluctant to spend a penny, and just wanted to eat some barbecue on the street. Later, when I thought about it, I felt that it was inappropriate. One is that the traffic is very unsightly, and the other is tired and sleepy, and I want to find a cool restaurant to rest. It's just that if you want to go into the store to rest and rub the fan, how can you say that you don't spend money on consumption? Treat each other coldly, blow your beard and stare at it, that's an open-minded shop. If you are kicked out with a broomstick, it will be embarrassing. It's no joke.
The noodle shop is doing well, there are many customers, and almost every table is full. Xu Wenlong sat in the corner of the door, eating wonton barbecue by himself. At the next table was a middle-aged man with a ruddy face and a big belly, who asked for chicken soup and steamed dumplings. He was happy to take a bite at a time, and he was so happy to eat with a sigh of humor. Suddenly, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he sniffed hard, and reflexively stood up, stretching his neck and looking around. He smelled a strange scent, a scent that he had never heard before. Suddenly, his body shook, his whole body stiffened, and his eyes were firmly glued to the yellow, crispy and strange meat in front of Xu Wenlong.
Xu Wenlong smiled, hurriedly put away the barbecue on the table, and quickly stuffed it into his bag. Although frog, snake and rat meat are delicious and crunchy in the mouth, they are a rare delicacy. But the appearance is really not flattering, and I can't bear to look at it directly. Especially those vole meat, chubby and on all fours, just like newborn piglets. How dare ordinary people look at each other squarely? If you know the details, it is estimated that you will be nauseous and vomit.
However, the middle-aged man at Xu Wenlong's next table is just not an ordinary person. It is an authentic glutton, and it is an out-and-out delicious person. Whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water or drilling in the soil, as long as you do a good job, he dares to send it to his mouth and swallow it in his stomach without saying a word. He also often prides himself on being a "gourmet" who eats out of the ocean and eats to the world.
When the "gourmet" saw the barbecue with tender skin and fragrant meat, he was so shocked that the corners of his mouth were drooling, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't wait to grab it and swallow it in his stomach. It's just that because they meet each other, they don't know each other, so it's not good to take the liberty of reaching out and asking for it. When he saw Xu Wenlong putting away the strange meat, he was a little flustered. I didn't care about any shame or shame, so I mustered up the courage to ask Xu Wenlong: "Brother, hey, I said this brother, what did you eat...... Hey...... What are you eating? Can you ......?"
Xu Wenlong was taken aback, and hurriedly covered his bag and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm embarrassed to say it." What's this...... This is...... Alas, what do I say, you won't eat it anyway, and you won't eat it if you are killed. ”
"Gourmet", more and more itchy, eager to taste, salivating and expressing his mind: "It's okay, it's okay." Tell me about it, tell me about it, what the hell is this? It's better to let me ...... Hey, hey, hey...... Let me...... That one...... Hey, hey, hey......"
Xu Wenlong found that the other party was not disgusted and disgusted, but the monkey panicked and wanted to taste it. He then froze, lowered his voice and said with a proud face: "Well...... This is field chicken, grilled field chicken. Ever heard of it? Dare to come to one? The taste is actually not bad. ”
"Tian chicken?" The "gourmet" laughed, foaming at the mouth and commenting, "What a field chicken, the meat is delicate and slippery. It is used to make soup, the color is milky and white like milk, and the taste is delicious chicken soup, and the key is pure natural. Delicious, so delicious. After speaking, he smacked his mouth, as if he had just finished drinking a big bowl of field chicken soup, and the aftertaste was endless, hearty, "But this is the first time I have seen roasted field chicken, and it is estimated that the taste is not much worse." What else? What other baby meat do you have? Tell me as well! ”
"Roast the southern snake, roast the vole. What do you think? I haven't seen it before. ”
"Ah, snake meat? Vole meat? It's amazing, it's amazing, today is an eye-opener. The "gourmet" became more and more bright, and the corners of his mouth drooled, "Snake meat, dragon meat, and a stew with a hen, that is the famous 'dragon and phoenix soup'." There is also vole meat, which you actually got on. Absolutely lean and not fatty, stable and flexible but not hard, comparable to yellow mutton. Hey, I said man, you can really eat, you can eat, you can eat a hundred times better than me. ”
Xu Wenlong shook his head with a wry smile, and told him helplessly: "I'm really sorry to let you laugh." In fact...... Actually, I can't help it, I really can't help it. When I first came to Binyang, I had no fixed place, no job, no place to stay, and even eating was a problem. Who else would eat something like that? Who wants to eat something like that? ”
"What? What did you say? Eating such a rare delicacy and saying that there is no way? You, you, you, you ......" "gourmet" was heartbroken when he heard this, and shouted that Xu Wenlong was violent and neglected the delicacies. Without saying a word, he took out a wallet, took out a big red ticket, put it on Xu Wenlong's table, pointed to the barbecue in his bag and said, "One price, one hundred yuan, sell all these meats to me." After speaking, he didn't ask the other party to agree or not, and grabbed the barbecue and hugged it tightly to his chest, as if he would be snatched by someone else.
Xu Wenlong was taken aback, and it took a long time before he puffed out his eyes and stammered: "This, this, this...... How can this be ......?"
"Is it too little?" The "gourmet" changed his face, and he added another hundred, and looked directly at Xu Wenlong, "How is it?" It's going to sell now. ”
"No, no, no......" Xu Wenlong shook his hand, gently pushed the money back to the "gourmet" and said, "It's not that I'm reluctant to sell, it's really this...... This one isn't worth that much money. ”
The "gourmet" breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and hugged the bag of barbecue and said, "Hehehe...... Value for value, it's just worth it. Great value for money, don't be fooled, hello me, hello everyone. ”
Xu Wenlong shook his head and replied sincerely: "It's really not worth so much money, it's all wild things, it's easy to get, how can it be worth a few dollars?" If you really like it, you can just take it away without a penny. ”
"What? Don't want a penny? The "gourmet" was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand again and again and said, "Forget it, thank you for your kindness." You're working hard, and I don't want to take advantage of it. After saying that, I didn't want the chicken soup dumplings in the bowl, and I paid the bill and left. He was afraid that Xu Wenlong would change his mind and regret it.
Xu Wenlong stared blankly at the distant figure of the "gourmet", pinched the two big red bills for a long time, and froze like a dream for a while. Is he crazy? Or are you stupid? Or are both both crazy fools? Only five roasted frogs, three simmered voles, and seven or eight pieces of southern snake meat are worth two hundred yuan? And that's how you took it? It seems that this business is quite cost-effective, and it can continue to develop and continue to grow bigger and stronger. I just want to meet such a happy and straightforward madman again, and I guess I can't find it with a lantern.
