Chapter Six: Bashan Oolong()

In the early morning, a ray of golden sunshine shines into the small village in the mountains, and the mist that filled the village slowly dissipates.

On the small road, Zi Che Shenmin rode his motorcycle and ran towards Le Lang. When he came to Le Lang's house, he honked the horn wildly and called Le Lang's name loudly.

Lelang was woken up by Che Shenmin's broken gong-like voice, and felt very unhappy. He wanted to run out and punch him in the head, but he just thought about it. He had no choice but to brush his teeth and wash his face in a hurry and take Sanlang for a ride.

He drove Zi Che Shenmin's old car toward his house.

In fact, Zi Che Shenming didn't want to come over either. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep with his wife in his arms? Unfortunately, his mother called him over early in the morning to pick up Le Lang and Sanlang, so he was in a bad mood.

"Lelang and Sanlang are here. Come and sit down. We are waiting for you." Wu Ruihua, Lelang's concubine, saw Lelang coming and hurriedly greeted him to eat. On the side, Che Shenmin's wife Lin Xiuhui was feeding his daughter.

, Zi Che Xinming disappeared somewhere.

After dinner, Le Lang left Saburo at his uncle's house. It was not good to catch snakes and take care of children. I remember when I was a kid, someone came to the village to sell Dali Pills and made a few snakes for a show. During the performance, he scared the children: "Wear open crotch pants."

"Children, be careful, watch yourself, be careful, you may be eaten by a snake." The children were so frightened that they covered their crotches and backed away, and some were so frightened that they ran away without a trace.

Zi Che Jinglin, who was bitten by a snake yesterday, went to the county to receive snake venom serum and has returned. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, otherwise he would have been paralyzed at least. However, he lost so much blood this time, and he will need to be nursed back to health for at least a while. Speaking of which,

Also unlucky.

When we arrived at the place where Zi Che Jinglin was bitten by a snake yesterday, there were already a lot of people gathered there. When they heard that this morning they were going to catch the poisonous snake that bit people yesterday, everyone was very active. If they were not active, who knew this thing?

When will you run out, you might be unlucky enough to catch a snake. It's just a trivial thing for mountain people to catch a snake. However, in order to prevent being bitten by a snake, everyone still has something in their hands, some with wooden sticks, and some with others.

I also specially took out snake pliers. As long as I see a snake and clamp it on the neck, the snake will not be able to run away even if it wants to. This place is a deserted slope. It may have been alarmed by Zi Che Jinglin when he walked by yesterday.

The snake may have been accidentally stepped on, so it was bitten. Otherwise, this snake will generally not bite anyone except when it is in estrus and when it is incubating eggs and protecting chicks.

The people present took their things and searched for them in the weeds one by one. From time to time they knocked on the left and right, and when they saw holes, they poked them with sticks. From time to time, mice and grasshoppers were startled and scurryed around.

.A group of people were searching carefully, but they didn't find a black snake head emerging from a huge mouse hole. A cold light flashed in its empty and heartless eyes, looking at the people who kept searching.

Want to pounce.

At this moment, Le Lang saw the black snake head emerging from the cave. Seeing its appearance, he was startled. He immediately took three steps at a time and rushed forward. He appeared next to the snake head in an instant, and made a move like this.

Electricity, pick up the snake's head with one hand and shake it hard, the snake's bones suddenly make no sound and the whole body becomes weak. This snake is most afraid of shaking. If it shakes, the bones in the whole body will be shaken away, making the whole body limp and weak.

Le Lang slowly pulled the snake out of the hole. At first glance, he saw that the snake was more than two meters long, with thick legs, and it was really scary.

"Bashan Oolong." A group of people saw Le Lang catching the snake and gathered around. Some people exclaimed when they saw the snake in Le Lang's hand.

It’s no wonder he was there. Among the vast mountains, the Bashan Oolong is very poisonous. If it is not rescued in time, it will die. Moreover, this kind of Bashan Oolong will also take the initiative to attack people. Generally, if a mountain appears,

If there is this kind of snake, there will be no other snakes, so it is called "Bashan Oolong". This kind of snake eats snakes, rats, birds, and some smaller animals. Sometimes it will climb down the mountain to steal poultry. But it has not been there for a long time.

When they saw it, everyone thought it was extinct, but unexpectedly another one appeared to cause trouble.

It seems that this mountain Oolong bit Che Jinglin yesterday. It may have run down the mountain to look for food, but he happened to meet Jinglin. It was also his bad luck. I will give him some snake meat later and let him take revenge.

Take revenge.

Le Lang was holding the snake in his hand and felt very happy. He hadn't eaten snake meat for a long time. Thinking about the past, when summer evenings came, he would go to the stream with snake tongs to pick up water snakes and come back to eat. It was simply a delicacy in the world.

"I'm cooking snake porridge tonight, and everyone must come and eat it." Le Lang grabbed the snake and announced happily to the people on the side.

Everyone was sweating when they saw such a big mountain oolong. Fortunately, they found it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. They ate it as a way to eliminate harm to the people. Who hasn't eaten a few snake meat in the mountains?

At that time, Lelang hung the snake on the tree, peeled off the skin and opened the belly to get the meat, and gave the rest to the people watching the fun. This snake gall can cool the eyes, detoxify, and is derived from traditional Chinese medicine. The wild snake gall of such a big snake

, it can be worth at least one or two hundred yuan in the city, but Le Lang was not that interested, so he gave it to others. There is also snake skin, which can also be eaten. It is also a delicacy when made, but it is quite troublesome to make.

Le Lang simply gave it to others. Such a large snake skin would be worth a lot of money if dried and sold.

Le Lang took a bag and packed the white snake meat. After checking that nothing happened, he walked back, not forgetting to let everyone eat snake porridge at home in the evening.

It's quite troublesome to cook this snake porridge. First, you need to boil the snake meat, then tear it off, then add water to the bones and put it into a clay pot to simmer slowly. It's best to add pullet and lean meat.

, then the taste will be even better. After the thick soup is boiled, put the cooked rice down and cook it into porridge, season it, and add shredded ginger, chopped green onion, and pepper when eating. Don’t mention the taste. If you can

If so, it’s best to add cat meat, the taste will be great, haha.

Although Lelang doesn't like cooking, he still makes some effort to eat good food. In the past, in order to eat dog meat, he would go to the village more than ten miles away to catch dogs. In order to eat good food, he would go to the market specially.

I studied cooking for several months, and I am barely a master chef, but I am lazy and don't really like cooking.

He came to his uncle's house and cut out a piece of the white snake meat. He also cut a piece to give to the person who was bitten by the snake yesterday so that he could relieve his pain.

When he came back, his brother-in-law Che Xinming had already called a master who renovated the house to wait for him at home. So he called Sanlang and the group hurried to the old house.

The master who renovated the house was from the village next door and had been doing this all his life. He was very experienced. This was not a big project for Lelang. He just renovated the exterior walls and roof, and replaced some rotten roof beams. In addition, Lelang

Lang also wants to build a water tower so that he can divert spring water from the mountain to the garden for watering, saving the trouble of having to carry buckets every time he fetched water.

Everything was finalized. The old man who renovated the house was also a veteran, so he didn't have to waste time and effort by contracting out the work and materials. We agreed to start work early tomorrow morning.

Lelang also wanted to take the opportunity to dig a pond in the back garden to raise fish and so on. In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't dare to mess around when his grandfather was around. In addition, he also wanted to dig a biogas digester.

Dig it next to the house so that all toilet contents can be drained inside. When you don’t want to burn firewood, you can use biogas. It saves energy, is environmentally friendly and hygienic, and saves people a lot of worry.

The small courtyard in front was full of fallen leaves and branches, which were moldy and rotten. Since coming back yesterday, Le Lang had no time to clean it. He had to invite people to his house for porridge in the evening, so he had no choice but to clean it hard.

Le Lang swept the fallen leaves on the ground, and Sanlang was also holding a broom to help. Le Lang looked at the two old longan trees in the courtyard that were more than ten meters high and were hugged by two people. This tree was said to be his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather.

The wild longan tree dug from the mountain has been blooming every year for some reason since it was planted, but it has never produced a single longan. His grandfather's grandfather tried to cut down these longan trees many times.

But then I thought it would be good to plant this tree here to protect it from wind, rain and sun, so I kept it.

Le Lang thought it was okay if there was no result, otherwise how would he pick such a tall longan?

The old roots of the old longan tree are exposed on the ground, and the cracked cortex seems to be telling the long time all the time. It is not good for the roots to be too strong. If you are not careful, you will trip and fall, and you will have to look for rocks.

It will look better if you surround the tree, and it will be more perfect if you pave it with red bricks on the ground.

After cleaning up the remaining branches and rotten leaves, and carrying more than a dozen buckets of water to rinse it thoroughly, the rotten smell in the yard was finally gone. After cleaning a few rooms, I found that my stomach was rumbling. The ferryman

Naruto just came over and brought a lot of things, some of which Le Lang asked him to buy, and some of which he brought from home. Le Lang stopped to fry a few dishes and had a good time.

.

After finishing the meal, he put the snake bones into the pot, and then put the little hen brought by the ferryman Naruto and some lean meat into it and cooked it together.
