Chapter 73: The Snake Affair of Ma Sibao's Family
Ma Sibao said that day that the black snake was brought back, and Ma Sibao's father Ma An and Liu Yuehong also praised his cub's great achievements. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info think how powerful their cubs are. But something was wrong that day, and the snakes around the village went crazy and rushed into their house. Ma An also ignored the persuasion of the old people, and did not care about the old tradition that the snakes in the house could not be beaten.
Ma An usually catches snakes and sells them in the town, and he specializes in sending snakes to several restaurants in the town. The people of the town love to eat snake meat. In one morning alone, Ma'an will pack a dozen in snakeskin bags. The snakeskin bags were full.
Ma An hung the snakeskin bag on the rack of the load bicycle and was about to go to the town when he was stopped by his father, Ma Changzhi.
"Why are you going?" asked Ma Changzhi.
"What else can I do? I caught more than a dozen snakes at home today, and I'm going to put them in town to sell. Not to mention much, a snake gives two dollars, and here there are more than twenty dollars. It's much better than going to work as a sideline. Ma'an put the stand down and prepared to go.
"Don't go. If you listen to me, let them all go. You don't want to think about it, why are so many snakes rushing to your house today?" Ma Changzhi hurriedly stopped Ma An.
"Dad, what else can there be? I don't care why they broke into my house. I wish I could have more. That way I can catch a little more. This snake is a good thing, and its whole body is full of treasures. The people in the city love to eat a lot. Ma An said nonchalantly.
"Bastards! They rush to your house because your family must have done something to provoke them. If you offend them to death now, they will go crazy for revenge. Did Sibao come back with a big snake today?" asked Ma Changzhi.
"yes. Sibao is really capable, at such a young age, he dares to fight such a snake. This one is like me. Ma An laughed.
Ma Changzhi's eyes did turn black when he heard Ma An's painting, "It's over, it's over." Got into trouble. ”
"What a catastrophe. Dad, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Forget it, I'll tell you when I come back from selling this bag of snakes. Yuehong catches snakes at home alone, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it, Dad, if you are free now, go over and help him. Ma'an saw that the sun was already overhead, and if he didn't hurry up, he would almost be scattered in the town.
"I'll help you with a hammer!" Ma Changzhi hurriedly went to the side of the road to pick up a stick, preparing to use the stick to hit this guy who didn't eat oil and salt.
Ma An hurriedly kicked his feet and stepped on the pedal quickly, and the black permanent bicycle immediately rushed out with him.
Ma Changzhi threw the stick in his hand, but there was no target, and the stick fell on the infrastructure road in the village and jumped several times. Ma Changzhi sighed a few times, the eldest son, I can't control it! But although the family has been separated, this son is still his own son. Ma Changzhi had to worry about his children's affairs a lot. This eldest son usually likes to engage in some crooked ways, catching snakes, catching frogs, going to the mountains to put wild boar traps, beast traps, and fried fish...... As long as you can get money, there is nothing Ma An doesn't dare to do. Ma Changzhi knew that this kind of thing was wrong, and there would be retribution one day. But he couldn't stop it.
Ma An's brain is working, and he has several sons, and he does it best. First of all, I bought a TV and a permanent truck. The road in the village is rough and muddy when it rains. Even on a sunny day, such a road can only be passed by a walk-behind tractor. Sitting on it is more bumpy than riding a boat in strong winds and waves. But it's very convenient to ride a bicycle, it's really hard to get by, and you can still carry the bike. The road only leads to the entrance of the village, but bicycles can be ridden to the house.
On Ma'an's trip, more than a dozen snakes were sold for fifty yuan. He laughed with joy. When I came back, I deliberately went to the trading ground to cut a pound of meat, and Sibao shouted to eat meat for many days, and he was reluctant to spend money. I earned forty or fifty a day, and I was finally willing to cut a pound of meat. Because it was someone else who picked the leftover meat, the price was cheaper by two cents, and two bobbin bones were also given.
But the discovery was completely beyond Maan's expectations, and by the afternoon, there were more and more snakes. couldn't be caught at all, and when Ma An returned home, his mother-in-law Liu Yuehong had already caught a few snakeskin bags. When catching a snake, I was accidentally bitten by a snake, and although it was a non-venomous snake, it was still very swollen.
"Boss, something is wrong. There are too many snakes. They all only drill into our house. What should I do?" Liu Yuehong's face was already full of fear.
"What's the panic, what's the panic? The more you come, the better. Boss Zhang in the town, they also said let me send a little more. No matter how much they can eat, they can eat. In fact, they don't just sell them in the town, they collect snakes and sell them in the big city, so they make more money, but unfortunately we don't have their way. Our house is a snake catcher. What are such snakes afraid of? Not to mention that they are all non-venomous snakes, even if they are all poisonous snakes, I am not afraid. The price of poisonous snakes is higher. Ma'an sensed something was wrong, but he was more enthusiastic about the five new cards of unity in the bag.
"Is it really going to be okay?" Liu Yuehong worried.
"What's going to happen? You go and cook. There's still meat on the frame, and you make a hearty meal. There are many snakes that are not afraid, and the more snakes come, we eat meat every day. Ma An laughed.
The joy of pork slightly diluted the atmosphere of terror that had coalesced in the house.
The big black snake was dead, and it couldn't be sold for a lot of money in the town, so Ma'an was ready to get it for himself. When he went out, he peeled the skin of the snake and rubbed salt on the meat so that it could be kept longer at room temperature. After stir-frying the water in oil, you can eat it for a long time.
When Ma Sibao went home, he had not yet entered his yard when he smelled a strong smell of meat in the kitchen. This taste made the joy in the teenager's heart soar to the top at once.
"Dad, mother, do we eat meat today? I smelled it before I even entered the yard. Don't fry the fat meat, the fat meat is the best. When Ma Sibao talks about eating meat, his eyebrows are flying.
Ma An counted today's harvest and calculated how much income he would have tomorrow. Tomorrow I should be able to cut another pound of meat and come back. There is meat to eat every day!
Ma An's eyes were quick, and he quickly grabbed a figure who had just entered his house. But after catching it, Ma An was a little stunned, the snake he had just caught was no longer the previous cauliflower snake and black snake, but a highly venomous snake - the silver krait.
Did the vipers come in too?
