Chapter 7: Nine Immortals and Ten Evils
Although a cat and a dog want to eat snake meat, but unfortunately Xian Hongye doesn't seem to want to give them this opportunity, the most "excessive" thing is that she can't control a cat and a dog, she has to take care of me, even if they eat it, they don't let me follow it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe scene was a little stiff for a while, and everyone couldn't get off the stage.
Seeing this, I quickly pulled Miss Xian aside and said to her, "You are accommodating, if I don't make snakes for the two of them, these two will definitely die." ”
Xian Hongye glanced at me and said with great distrust: "If you don't become a snake, they will definitely die?" By whom? Tell me why? …”
I patted her on the head and told her, "Do you know how disgusting this snake meat is, if I don't handle it the right way, these two will definitely eat it to death." ”
Seeing Xian Hongye puzzled, I further told her that wild snakes are actually very spoiled, and every snake has a large number of parasites, especially a disgusting insect called "Schizocephalus", which is common in snakes, which is more numerous and deadly, and if the snake meat is not treated correctly, it is easy for people to be infected with Schizocephalus.
At this point, I further described: "Once the fissurehead enters the stomach and intestines, it will use knife-like teeth to penetrate the mucous membrane, enter the organs, and then parasitize in the muscles, brains and even the eyeballs......
"Alright, don't say it! ~" Xian Hongye's face turned white when I said it, she retched, waved her hand, and pointed to the dog and cat who were carrying the snake not far away: "Let them throw the snake away!" ”
"No way, they won't lose their lives and snakes! I shook my head.
"Why can't it?!" Hyun Hongye pouted.
I waved my hand and said, "Do you think they don't know that snakes have disgusting bugs, but they're Thai, and if you know what Thai people eat, then you understand what snakes mean to them." ”
In fact, I don't say this because I look down on anyone, but because this Thai recipe is too "dark".
In Southeast Asia, Thais are known for their love of food, and Thais, like China, pride themselves on their unique food culture.
However, compared with the breadth and profundity of Chinese cuisine, the preparation is delicate, and this Thai food is superficial and crude.
But even so, Thai food still has its own unique characteristics, and among them, the biggest and the most incomparable feature of Chinese food is "dark".
Because Thailand is located in Southeast Asia, its biodiversity and hot weather have made Thai people develop the habit of eating fish sauce, insects, sour and spicy tastes, and especially raw food. If an ingredient can be eaten raw, people will never cook, one is troublesome, and the other is "not fresh", especially in northern Thailand such as cats and dogs, the hobby of raw food has reached the point of fanaticism, as long as it can be eaten, people are estimated not to let go, let them put the "golden snake python" such a big meal and do not eat, that is no different from killing them.
Speaking of which, I excused "A Cat and a Dog": "Xiao Yezi, think about it, if I don't make snake meat for them, I will secretly eat these two goods, and they will be full of parasites at that time...... Let's not look at it, you force them to let go of the snake, isn't that tantamount to taking their lives? There is still a long way to go, and this is not conducive to united front work. ”
My words made Xian Hongye angry, but the lady was generous, and finally waved her hand and didn't care about it anymore, I smiled and responded.
I know that after all my clever arguments, this snake meat feast will not be able to run, and now it is a few questions about how to make this delicious snake meat.
It is no exaggeration to say that on the way back, I kept discussing the details of eating snakes with Ah Dog and Baturu.
Snakes are a very precious delicacy in China, especially in Wuling Temple, where snakes are called "Voldemort Dragon", and Huogong is also called "Sailong Wei", which means "delicious taste comparable to dragon meat".
Since ancient times, the practice of snakes is varied, roasting, stewing, burning, boiling, frying, how to eat have a taste, the four major factions of the five visceral temples, each faction has a unique way to eat, and among them, it is still the most unique way to eat in the Wuling Temple of Cantonese cuisine, and has formed the unique "snake dish" characteristics of the Wuling Temple.
Of course, now is the wild environment, we can use the ingredients and accessories are limited, so there are not many choices of eating, after thinking about it, everyone agreed with my decision, or take care of the majority, the case of the northern way of eating, do a "snake three eat" finish.
The so-called one snake and three eats is actually a general term, that is, the same snake is made into three different dishes to eat, which can be made from local materials and can also be simple and delicious. As far as this python is concerned, the way I planned to eat it was to roast snake meat, stir-fry snake backbone, and stew snake bones, of course, I had to do it myself, because I was really afraid that the dog and cat brothers would steal half-cooked snake meat and be infected with parasites.
But even so, I still didn't feel at ease about this, so I agreed with cats and dogs about additional conditions, specifically saying that snake meat can be eaten, but the snake skin must not be touched, it must be burned, and nothing can be left.
In this regard, Baturu asked me puzzled: "Old soldier Tian, why is the snake skin not allowed to be eaten, is it poisonous?" It's a pity that such beautiful gold scales burned. ”
I shook my head and said helplessly: "The snake skin is not poisonous, and it is delicious, and it can also be seen, but our conditions can't be handled, so forget it, as for staying, it is looking for death." ”
I further told Baturu that although the skin was delicious, it was also deadly, because 80 percent of the parasites on the snake's body grew between the skin, and all of them were the deadliest species, like I said, the schizocephalic larvae.
Therefore, it is very dangerous to eat snake skin, although snake skin is delicious, especially cold snake skin is even more tempting, but for safety, it is still not to eat.
As for why we didn't leave the golden snake skin, it involved the taboo in the doorway of our five internal organs temple.
According to ancient legends, there are many creatures that can be cultivated into refinement, and these animals are divided into five immortals and ten evils according to their different spirituality! Among them, "tiger, bear, eagle, leopard," is called the upper five immortals, the lower five immortals are more miscellaneous, in the north, mostly to "fox, yellow, often, python, gray" called the lower five immortals, in the south, then to "fox, wear (pangolin), snake, wolf, cat" for the next five immortals, but whether it is the south or the north, the upper five immortals plus the lower five immortals are collectively called "ten evil", the cooks in the temple of the five organs generally believe that the nine immortals and ten evils (excluding mice), are very spiritual creatures, they are killed for no reason, there will inevitably be resentment attached to it.
Because of these rumors, the cooks in the Five Organs Temple are careful when handling the ingredients of these creatures, usually speaking, they have to ask the monk to recite the mantra of the past, and if they can't recite the mantra, they must burn the leftover things to the end, so that there is no room for resentment to attach.
Of course, this is a superstitious statement, and I don't know if it's true or not, but I feel that since I am the cook of the Five Organs Temple, I should respect the tradition, and more is better than less, and it is better to be careful in everything.
As we spoke, we walked back to the vehicle guarded by Wang Roar.
