Chapter Twenty-Three: Internal Organs Are Poisonous
When I got home from the party, it was already the middle of the night.
The dragon spirit hung the meat on the wall, and he didn't care about sleeping to prepare a new plan, but he heard Cang Jizi shout: "I'm hungry, dragon spirit, can you grill some more meat for us to eat?" ”
"You just ate at the pig's house in the middle of the night, and you're hungry again? Are you rectum? ”
"It's not that the barbecue you made is too delicious, as soon as I enter your house, I feel hungry when I smell it."
"Foodie! Go, go, go, out. The dragon spirit scolded, pushed him and said, "What are you always doing with me?" Go back to your house. ”
Cang Jizi hid to the side, and said with a smile on his face: "I kind of understand, I will have good meat to eat with you, and I will follow you wherever you go in the future." ”
The dragon spirit was helpless to take this faceless and skinless hob meat, ignored him, sat by the fire and held a piece of charcoal black in his hand to write and draw on the ground.
"Dragon Spirit, what are you doing?" Cang Jizi squatted next to him and asked.
"I need a few test tubes, a couple of vats, and yeast."
"What?"
"No, the Ryuzawa Department doesn't even have pottery, and the containers used are either wooden, bamboo, weaving utensils, or naturally grown gourd scoops. Pottery firing is still a big project, so let's talk about it later. ”
"What do you say?"
"The wood is too small, you can use a bamboo tube, and the gourd scoop is big enough to make a container. The most troublesome problem is that there is no yeast, and the failure rate of natural fermentation is too high. ”
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
"Well, you can collect a lot of bad fruit, and there are a lot of yeast in the bad fruit, so it should be fine to use it for fermentation."
"Hey! What the hell are you talking about? Cang Jizi was annoyed by the ignorance, and roared in the ear of the dragon spirit.
Long Jing turned his head, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly hugged Cang Jizi with a smile and said, "This dragon son has given you an important task, and I will give you barbecue meat every day after completing it." ”
"Really? Okay, I agreed. Cang Jizi wiped his saliva.
"After dawn, you will go to the village to collect the bad fruits, and say that my dragon spirit is very useful, and ask everyone to help find more. Don't steal it, it's all carefully packed and sent to my house. ”
"Then you go find a few more large containers, and a few baskets of fresh fruit, just oranges. By the way, you also need stone mortars, stone pestles, stone axes, fences, bamboo grates and other things. ”
"No problem. Is it over? ”
"It's over."
"Then you'll have to give me a barbecue to eat right now."
“……”
After the meat was roasted, Cang Jizi grabbed it and ate it, and the dragon was carefully angry and scolded: "Hold you to death this rice bucket." ”
There was a 'bang' sound in the house, it was the winged fire snake making noise.
The dragon spirit walked into the house and carefully lifted the lid of the basket to observe the winged fire snake inside.
The winged fire snake seemed to be full of energy, and kept churning in the basket, and the dragon spirit felt strange: "It's been very quiet, why is it suddenly restless?" ”
The winged fire snake flipped a few times, saw someone through the gap, and immediately bulged into a ball ready to breathe fire. It's a pity that the halter designed by the dragon spirit is very effective, its lips can't open wide, and it can't shoot out of sparks, so it can't naturally breathe fire, and can only spew out unpleasant gas.
"Hehehe." The dragon spirit smiled and opened the lid and lifted it out, and the poor winged fire snake was still trying to squirt, hissing and squirming.
"Are you hungry again? It digests food so fast. ”
He carried the winged fire snake to the edge of the fire pit, kicked Cang Jizi again, drove Cang Jizi out, caught a lizard and came back, opened the hitch and fed it to the winged fire snake.
But this time, the winged fire snake didn't even look at the lizard, but just stretched its neck at Cang Jizi.
"What does it want to do? Do you want to eat me? Hehe, what a big appetite, you won't be afraid to eat it. Cang Jizi nibbled on the barbecue and smiled.
The dragon spirit observed it for a moment, realized it, and tore off a piece of roast meat and put it to the mouth of the winged fire snake. The snake suddenly spat out the half-digested food in its stomach and opened its mouth wide to eat the barbecue.
"Haha, it likes cooked meat." The dragon spirit laughed and put the meat to its mouth.
It's normal to think about it, the winged fire snake hunts by the flames, and the prey it eats must have been cooked, so it's not surprising that it prefers cooked food.
The winged fire snake swallowed the cooked meat in one gulp, and couldn't wait to eat the meat with its mouth wide open, so the dragon spirit tore the meat apart and fed it piece by piece.
Cang Jizi looked distressed, and kept complaining: "You are a waste of feeding such delicious meat to the snake." Okay, don't feed it anymore, there's not much left, and I haven't eaten yet. Alas, if you feed it again, I'll eat your share too. ”
The Winged Fire Serpent ate a piece of cooked meat the size of two fists before it stopped eating.
The dragon spirit took the snake in his hand, and saw that it seemed to be very satisfied, lazily and softly, and there was no hostility at all, and scolded with a smile: "Have a virtue with Cangjizi." ”
After teasing for a while, he put on the halter and closed it back in the cage.
The next day, Long Jing got up early and went to the council hall and asked about the situation of the pig-bone jian wild boar first. Knowing that this fang was very generous, he could still eat and sleep in the prison without any discomfort, so he told him to watch carefully.
Gou Gong also thanked Long Jing and told about Long Zi's rescue from the hands of the invisible water ghost, several elders were shocked, and the great wizard also used the theory of ghosts and gods to explain it seriously.
Today is mainly to make barbecue, several elders have prepared the necessary manpower, fish, meat, dry wood and tools, the barbecue place is the large platform in front of the door.
The first attempt was not suitable for a big deal, so everyone decided to conduct a small-scale experiment first, discussed the implementation methods, and several people immediately went out to do it.
Three fat pigs have been slaughtered on the platform, and there is a bunch of big fish, which are provided by the pig family and the Gou family. Some men are setting up firepits and barbecue grills, a few men are cutting meat, and a group of women are cleaning up fish and stinking offal.
Shi Pan saw the woman who cleaned up the internal organs pinching her nose and rubbing slowly, and said angrily: "Those lazy women, don't you quickly clean up the filth!" ”
When the women saw that the Great Elder was angry, they didn't dare to be lazy anymore, picked up the soft organs on the ground, and walked to the edge of the platform.
Seeing that they were about to throw them down, Long Jing hurriedly stopped: "Slow, those things can be eaten, and they can't be wasted." ”
"Offal can be eaten too?" Those on the platform were amazed.
"Of course you can eat it, and it's delicious." The dragon spirit licked his lips and tempted everyone.
Several elders were stunned, looked at the Great Wizard with their mouths open, and asked, "Wu Crow Gong, didn't you say that animal internal organs are poisonous and can't be eaten?" ”
"This, this ......" The Great Wizard's face turned red and asked the dragon spirit, "Isn't it poisonous?" ”
"It's all meat, how can it be poisonous?"
"But I've seen a lot of people who can't stand eating offal because they're hungry, and they're all poisoned."
"Impossible!"
"Well, it's not all of it, it's a part." The great wizard was weak-hearted, twisted his mouse whiskers and rolled his eyes, and stammered, "Me too...... Well, I also heard from the previous generation of wizards, and all generations of wizards said that animal internal organs ...... Ahem, there are plague ghosts living in it, so ...... Uh......"
"You're right." The dragon spirit suddenly said loudly: "The internal organs of animals are inhabited by plague ghosts!" ”
"Whew! Thankfully, yes. The Great Wizard secretly let out a long sigh and secretly wiped his forehead.
Long Jing said: "However, the plague ghost resides in the filth of the internal organs, not the internal organs, otherwise the animal would have died long ago." ”
"People who are poisoned by eating internal organs are poisoned because they have eaten filth or smelly internal organs. As long as you clean up the dirt in the internal organs, you can eat it with confidence. ”
Everyone on the platform hesitated, no one moved, and no one would eat poison that had long been considered disgusting because of someone else's words.
The dragon spirit was helpless, took out a stone knife and cut a piece of pork belly, cleaned it, and then used a branch to fork it and roast it on the fire, and it was baked after a while.
"Since you don't believe me, I'll eat it for you first." He took a bite and nodded with great enjoyment and hummed: "The pure natural and unpolluted roast pork belly tastes good!" ”
"How? You guys try? He chewed in his mouth and extended the pork belly to the onlookers.
"I don't try." Everyone looked frightened and avoided one after another.
"Haha." The dragon spirit chased a few people and ran away, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, took another big bite, and said to everyone while chewing: "Who will try it bravely?" ”
No one spoke for a long time, leaving him alone in the middle of the platform.
