After leaving the training ground, Xu Jian patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder and said to him: "Go, follow me to the kitchen, I will treat you to something good, and you can tell me about your affairs in the UK." ”

Zhang Xu replied, "Teacher Xu, let me invite you." ”

Who knew that Xu Jian's face changed, and he said, "You are hanging me on the high-voltage line!" The school stipulates that faculty and staff cannot accept any gifts or meals from students, otherwise they will be expelled. Not even a boiled egg. ”

Hearing Xu Jian say this, Zhang Xu gave up the idea of having a treat.

Due to the fact that there are often unexpected situations such as explosions, large explosions and violent explosions on the training ground, it is somewhat far from the main complex of the school.

On the way from the training ground to the cafeteria, you pass through a large field field, and the straight ridges divide the fields into neat squares like a chessboard.

It's late spring and early summer, and the plants grown in the fields are thriving.

Looking out into the fields from the main road that is much higher than the farmland, colorful plants are distributed in small patches of farmland, like a bunch of pixels of different colors huddled together.

When he walked to the edge of the field, Xu Jian stopped, looked at the direction of the farmland, and then said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, why don't you go pick something to make cold vegetables?" ”

Zhang Xu looked at the farmland for a while, and said to Xu Jian with a "hehe" face: "Teacher Xu, don't give me any more personal experience counseling, I believe that as soon as I walk to the field, those defensive formations will not know what will make me look like." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xu was not fooled, Xu Jian said to him with a smile: "You can do it, you can see the doorway inside." ”

Zhang Xu smiled and said nothing, he wouldn't say that when he returned to his hometown when he was a child, he wanted to run into the medicine field behind the village to plant precious medicinal herbs, but after the defensive formation on the edge of the field was activated, he was tied into zongzi by the inconspicuous weeds on the ridge. Later, when he was ridiculed by a group of elders, he heard that the formation in the field was specially arranged by the teachers of the school, and the school also made the same arrangement in order to prevent the students from secretly picking something in the field. After all, the distance between the two places is less than 20 kilometers, and some of the medicinal materials used in the school are purchased from the village.

On the next road, Xu Jian roughly explained to Zhang Xu some of the situation of the defensive formation in the field.

Not long after, Zhang Xu followed Xu Jian to the vicinity of the cafeteria, and then Xu Jian took Zhang Xu halfway around and walked towards the back of the cafeteria.

"Let's go to the kitchen to find Lao Cai, he has a lot of good things there." Xu Jian said.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, there was a sound similar to a cow's barking from the back door of the cafeteria.

Suddenly, Zhang Xu and Xu Jian's eyes lit up, and then they glanced at each other, and both of them saw the word "joy" in each other's eyes.

"Listen to the sound should be that."

"yes, it must be that."

When the two of them arrived at the kitchen door, they saw a group of people around a cage, happily discussing something.

After greeting the surrounding principals, directors and teachers, Zhang Xu carefully looked at the contents of the cage.

It was an arm-thick, almost three-meter-long snake, its body was white, its head was red, and it was from its body that the cow-like cry came from.

And the temperature around the cage is frighteningly high, like standing by the boiler.

But for the people around him, such a temperature can be solved with a small spell.

"Where did you get this snake?" Xu Jian asked.

"Boss Zhang from Fuhu Village brought it when he came to deliver the medicinal herbs just now, and they caught it in Fangchenggang the day before yesterday, and then sold it to us." Principal Li Jiuxi said.

"It's so big, but it took a lot of work." Xu Jian sighed.

The bare-headed and white-bodied snake is not an ordinary snake, it is one of the alien beasts. When it stays underground for a long time, the heat emitted by it will evaporate the water in the surrounding soil, causing local drought.

When they gather and multiply in large numbers, it can even cause widespread drought in some places.

If they hide near a spring, the spring will turn into a hot spring. Seriously it will heat up the surrounding fish.

It is recorded that there was once a nest of snakes that once turned all the sweet potatoes under the ground of a sweet potato into roasted sweet potatoes.

Therefore, it is a pest that is seriously destructive to agriculture and is not on the protection list.

In ancient winters, they were often caught and raised as heating machines at home, and stewed in spring.

At this moment, a little old man with half white hair came out of the cafeteria, holding a wooden box in his hand.

After Principal Li saw him coming, he said to him: "Lao Cai, you have to show your hand today and take a good look at Zhang Xu who came back from the UK." ”

After Lao Cai saw Zhang Xu, he hurriedly put down Zhang Xu in his hand, came up and shook hands with Zhang Xu warmly and said: "It turns out that you are Xiao Zhang's boss, you are welcome to come to eat every day like last night, and the year-end bonus of our canteen is counting on you!" ”

Zhang Xu: (ーー; )

The heat on the snake is its self-protection measure, and when it encounters danger, the heat will explode, so that predators cannot bite it. Even if it is killed, the temperature of the residual heat is not low for a short time, and the corpse without the protection of its own spell will even be heated by its own temperature.

This also makes it necessary to solve the problem of heat insulation and fire prevention when people slaughter it.

The easiest way to deal with it is to starve the snake for a while to empty its stomach, throw it into a pressure cooker with the ingredients and a large pot of water, and then close the lid and shut it down. When the snake is drowned and cooled down, the bones and gall bladder are removed by methods such as bone separation, and a large pot of snake soup is ready.

But the snake caught today is too big to fit in a general pressure cooker, so I have to choose another way to eat.

Because the temperature of the snake is too high, if it is handled in the kitchen, it will trigger the fire alarm, so the cafeteria chooses to handle it outside.

Soon, Zhang Xu knew what the principal meant by letting Lao Cai "show his hand".

Lao Cai walked to the box he had just brought and stretched out his foot and kicked it, and the lid of the box was opened, and there were neatly erected knife handles inside.

Zhang Xu counted it, and there were thirty-six in total.

Then Lao Cai waved his hand, and the lid on the top of the cage that closed the Peng snake was lifted.

In the next second, a shadow burst out of the cage, and at the same time, the temperature in the air rose a few points.

At this moment, a silver light flashed, and a pointed kitchen knife was accurately inserted into the snake's jaw, and the tip of the knife pierced the snake's head and peeked through the back of the head. Then the kitchen knife lifted it into the air and hung it in the air.

Immediately after, another silver flash lit up on the snake's abdomen, and another kitchen knife slipped open its belly without any delay.

At this time, several kitchen knives flew over, propping open the belly cavity of the snake, and then the kitchen knife that had just cut open its stomach cut off the leaking snake gallbladder, and it happened to fall into a flying saucer.

After disposing of the other internal organs, all the kitchen knives in the box flew up, except for the one that held the snake's head in place, the remaining thirty-five kitchen knives flew around the snake like bees around the flowers.

In less than a minute, the almost three-meter-long snake turned into a steaming slice of meat on a huge plate.

Finally, Lao Cai poured a large spoonful of sesame oil with ginger, coriander, chives and pepper on the snake slices on the plate, and the fragrance suddenly exploded like a bomb, filling every corner of Zhang Xu's nose.

Principal Li took the steaming plate and greeted everyone around, "Let's go, go up to the box on the third floor." ”

Xu Jian patted Zhang Xu, who was stunned by Lao Cai's imperial kitchen knife technique, which made him come back from the shock.

Zhang Xu, who came back to his senses, followed Xu Jian upstairs to eat.
