Xiao Qiulan suddenly found that it was a small silver snake, which was bigger than chopsticks.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she remembered that the silver krait that her grandparents had raised, and the young snakes that had just hatched seven to thirty days ago would be made into dried snakes.

This dried snake is a precious medicinal material, it is said that doctors used it in ancient times, and it is expensive in modern times, so it should be possible to exchange it for silver here, right?

In any case, making this dried snake is simple and easy to make, and if you do it first, you won't believe that no one will know the goods.

As soon as he told his brother about his thoughts, Yao Zhiqiang was skeptical, and Xiao Qiulan said nonsense that the last time her father took her to the big pharmacy in the town to buy medicine, she had seen such a snake dry.

At that time, I asked the pharmacy guy a lot, and the guy said that this is called the Money White Flower Snake, and briefly told her how to make it.

Yao Zhiqiang didn't believe her words very much, Xiao Qiulan was as timid as a mouse in the past, and she bowed her head when she saw a living person, where did she dare to talk to a pharmacy guy?

However, now he looked at her bright eyes, and his face was bright, and he believed her for no reason, and took out the knife he had with him, cut open the belly of the snake, and entrailed it, and spread it on the stone.

Then he picked up the water with both hands and poured it into the stone crack, and a miracle appeared, there was a snake coming out of the stone crack, and it was a small silver snake!

In this ridge, it is cloudy and wet enough, and it has become a hotbed for the little silver krait to hibernate?

One morning, I dried six small silver kraits.

At the end of work, Xiao Qiulan instructed her brother to take the snake's head two inches as the center, coil the snake's body into a small circle and continue to dry.

Xiao Donglan looked at it from a distance and didn't participate, can these disgusting snakes be exchanged for silver? The fourth sister soaked in the fish pond once, not afraid of snakes?

In the afternoon, two more were posted.

Xiao Qiulan's four sons worked hard all day to finally clean up the ridges of the three seedlings paddy fields.

At the end of the evening, Yao Zhiqiang carefully put the silver snake in the dustpan and brought it back.

Liu Chunhua saw it from a distance and scolded: "What are you doing with so many dead snakes coming back?" It's disgusting! ”

Yao Zhiqiang was very calm: "Grandpa said, roast some snake meat for the dog to eat, and recover faster." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard that it was the old man's idea, she swallowed the scolding words, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to take it back to the house, roast it outside!" ”

Yao Zhiqiang agreed: "I know." ”

Xiao Qiulan secretly gave a thumbs up, her brother is so smart and knows how to use the easiest way to gag their mouths.

It's better to bake outside the house so that no one knows her and her brother's secrets.

Xiao Qiulan only said that she would roast the snake dry, and Yao Zhiqiang quickly thought of a way.

He picked up a small branch and lit a fire, and roasted the little silver-krait on the rubble, and threw two other snakes into the fire.

The smell of snake meat wafted away, Xiao Donglan couldn't help but come over to take a look, and Xiao Meilan also leaned forward, not afraid at all.

Yao Zhihua and Yao Zhijian, two brothers, naturally came to see the excitement, strange snakes roasted for dogs, why do you want to look so good?

Xiao Qiulan explained: "It won't burn when it's coiled. ”

After drinking the gruel in the evening, he continued to roast until the little silver krait was roasted hard and there was no moisture at all, and Yao Zhiqiang secretly took it back to the room and spread it in the basket.

Afraid that the cats would steal food, he simply hung the basket on the beams of the house.

The weather in spring is unpredictable, the first day is sunny, the next day it rains, cold wind and cold rain, no one goes out to do farm work.

The women sew and mend the soles of their shoes at home, while the men mend doors and windows, inspect farm tools, and nail loose hoe handles and sickle handles to a strong one.

Yao Erbao and Yao Tianbao had a bitter face, moved a long ladder, put on a coat, put on a rain hat, and climbed to the roof to repair the place where the rain would leak.

Liu Chunhua and Liu Qunxiang helped to escalate the ladder, picked up the broken tiles, and handed over the new tiles.
