Everyone is welcome to visit us, please remember the address of this site:,, so that you can read the latest chapters of "Maoshan Academy" at any time...

The fat man then complained:

"Why haven't you done it yet, is this going to starve me to death!"

But because of the principal's identity, it's not easy to have a seizure.

At this moment, the principal walked out of the dining room with two plates of dishes, shouting and shouting as he walked, and pulled a long voice:

"Up...... Cuisine...... Finish! ”

Then after putting the two dishes on the table of me and the fat man, he turned around and walked into the dining room.

The principal is still wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat, and he is more neat than in the morning, more energetic on his body, and more like a chef.

Coupled with the excited and satisfied look on the principal's face, it made me suspect that being a chef was his regular profession, and that the principal was his part-time job.

Then the headmaster went in and out, back and forth, and brought out seven plates of identical dishes, which were placed in front of the seven of us.

Indeed, it was a dish that I had never seen before.

I don't know what is wrapped in a layer outside, it has been fried, golden and crispy, and the thumb is long and long, like a hairtail, but it is not like it.

The hairtail is flat, while this one is round, and there is no fishy smell, but an earthy smell.

But with the cumin powder sprinkled on top, it smells fragrant, and in terms of taste alone, it is really delicious.

As soon as the fat man smelled such a delicacy, he naturally couldn't wait, and quickly picked up the chopsticks to eat.

"Don't worry! Hold your horses! ”

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the principal all his life.

The fat man put down his chopsticks with great reluctance.

The headmaster simply took out a stool from the dining room, sat down across from us, pointed to the dish on the table, and said:

"Deep-fried snake meat!"

When I heard this, I immediately retreated in fright and retched.

Since I was a child, I have a pair of yin and yang eyes, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, I don't take any demons and monsters in my eyes, but I am only afraid of snakes.

No matter what kind of snake it is, let alone seeing them, even if I hear them, I will be so scared that I don't want to do it.

And the reason why I am so afraid of snakes is because of a legend that has been passed down from us since childhood.

Of all the things in the world, apart from people, the most spiritual ones are foxes, snakes, and weasels.

They absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and over time, they have spirituality, and they have cultivated for thousands of years, or become essences, or become demons, or even become immortals.

Nie Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is cultivated by a fox, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing in "The Legend of the New White Lady" are pythons who become essences, and Wong Tai Sin is countless.

And among the three, the snake is the most powerful.

In our village, there is a small river that surrounds it.

There is a river and there is naturally a bridge, and this bridge is located at the junction of the houses and fields in the north of our village.

The old people said that under this bridge, it is the place where the snake cultivates.

They don't take the initiative to attack people, and they don't show up easily.

But whenever someone passes under the bridge, or if there are children playing under the bridge, the snakes will hide in the shadows, spitting out letters and secretly counting the hairs of those people.

Count them one by one.

Count one, and that hair will turn white.

Count as much as your hair turns gray.

Wait until the person's hair is counted, that is, when all the hair turns white.

That person would die immediately.

When I was a child, a group of us often played under the bridge, and at that time, we didn't know what fear was, and occasionally pooped under the bridge.

Sometimes we even see a small snake scurrying away in front of us, but we are still as calm as ever.

Until one day, we heard this legend.

Such nonsense.

But we just believe it.

We don't dare to play under the bridge anymore.

That's when I was scared when I mentioned snakes.

And when a person walks on the road, especially when he crosses that bridge, he will unconsciously scratch his head with his hands, and keep playing with his hair, so that those snakes can't count my hair, and save my life first.

Especially, when we went to elementary school.

There was a male teacher in the school, in the middle of the black shiny hair, there was a touch of white, the size of a walnut, and on closer inspection, there was indeed a handful of silver hair, which was incompatible with the long black hair.

This casts a layer of mystery over that legend.

We are even more convinced of this.

We asked the teacher more than once about the reason for the tufts of gray hair on his head, and each time he remained silent and terrified.

This deepens our fear of snakes.

I'm afraid it's not just me, but the children in our village will have weak legs when they see a snake, let alone eat its meat.

I looked away from the dish, but I happened to see the fat man's greedy expression.

The saliva almost flowed out.

The fat man picked up the chopsticks again and said:

"Wow, I've eaten pork, mutton, beef, chicken, but I haven't eaten snake meat, Lord Headmaster, you're really our reborn parent."

The fat man was about to clip a piece of snake meat as he spoke, but he was unexpectedly stopped by the principal again:

"Slow down, don't eat yet, listen to me first."

The fat man wept and muttered:

"Why don't you let me eat it, it's cold for a while, it's not good."

The headmaster looked at all of us and said:

"The snake is the loneliest animal in the world, and after it was hatched, it left the mother snake and began its lonely life.

Whether it's foraging or hibernating, they never go together.

Have you ever talked about two snakes appearing at the same time?

I'm afraid that except during mating, there will not be two snakes at the same time.

However, it is precisely because of its loneliness that it has honed its independent character, and it has advantages that other animals do not have, such as after predation, the snake will not consider having its own kind and it to grab food, let alone share the food with the same kind, so it will swallow the prey into its stomach and digest it slowly.

So snakes are never short of food.

And after entering hibernation, there is no disturbance of the same kind, and the snake can always hibernate through the cold winter, and will never wake up in the middle.

Therefore, the lifespan of snakes is much, much longer than that of other animals.

It is precisely because of the loneliness of the snake that the meat of the snake is delicious, chewy, and praiseworthy, and after people eat it, it has the effect of relieving fatigue and prolonging life. ”

The principal talked eloquently for about ten minutes.

The fat man on the side kept staring at the snake meat on the plate, the principal didn't speak, he couldn't eat, he didn't listen, he didn't stop, that expression, how aggrieved he was.

I also wondered how it felt like I was in class after eating.

But how do I feel like I'm in an oriental cooking school?

But I'm at Maoshan Academy.

Principal, can you take it easy?

Pay attention to your identity, pay attention to your identity!

You are the principal of the dignified Maoshan Academy and the authentic head of Maoshan.

Instead of studying Maoshan techniques, you have studied recipes instead?

After the principal finished speaking, before we could react, he left a sentence:

"There are two more dishes, don't eat them yet, wait until I make the remaining two dishes and eat them together."

Then he stood up and hurried into the restaurant.

We didn't dare not listen to the principal's words, so we could only wait.

In the meantime, I brought the plate of snake meat on my table to the fat man, who was so excited that he almost knelt down for me:

"Comb, you're interesting, I'll let you eat one more bun when I go back."

"Get out!"

After waiting for five or six minutes, the principal came out with two more plates, which were also placed on the table in front of me and the fat man, and returned to the dining room, back and forth, one plate per person.

I know this dish:

Steamed fish!

But it's a fish I don't know.

The fish is not large, only the length of the palm, and the head is extremely flat. The eyes are large, the mouth is also large, and the snout is long and pointed, triangular in shape.

But have you ever seen a milky fish?

What surprised me even more was that this fish was not only silvery white, although it was covered with soup, I still saw the body of the fish, and the whole body was transparent!

I could even see through the body of the fish and clearly see the neat rows of fish bones inside the fish's body.

But after seeing it clearly, I hehehe

Growing up, I ate all kinds of meat, pork, chicken, beef, and even smelly mutton, but I didn't eat fish.

Not only do I not eat fish, but I don't eat any aquatic products!

I won't take a bite of fish, shrimp, crabs, or even kelp.

I can't stand the fishy smell.

After serving the last plate, the headmaster sat down again.

Yes, it's going to start again......

Thank you for your votes and rewards! Thank you so much. Tomorrow's Qingming Festival, there will be a blast change......
