Chapter 6 Snakes Delicious

This scream attracted everyone's attention, and one and two of them ran towards the direction where Old Chen was holding the tools in their hands! They kept shouting in the bottom: "Where is it? What snake?"

Cen Jiahua, who has lived in the city since childhood, had only eaten snake meat in restaurants and had never seen a living snake. At that moment, his curiosity also arose and hurriedly ran behind Wu Fang.

The island is not big, but in an instant, everyone was already surrounded by Lao Chen.

"How is it? Have you entered the hole?"

"How big is it? What snake?"

…………

A group of people were asking Lao Chen in a verbal question, which made Lao Chen feel dizzy all of a sudden.

"Milk snake, it's as big as a hoe, has already entered the hole! Everyone cleaned up all the weeds around it to see if there are any other exits." Old Chen, who is worthy of being the village chief, came to his senses and explained the matter clearly. The take-out assigned everyone's tasks.

As soon as Old Chen finished speaking, the few people around him were already waving their sickles and driving towards the weeds around the snake cave, each of them agile.

Wu Fang, who was standing in front of Cen Jiahua, did not take action, but explained to Cen Jiahua, who looked expectant.

"The neem snake is very similar to the bark of the neem tree, so we call it the neem snake here. Although it is not poisonous, it is also a very annoying snake. It basically eats all living things, and sometimes even its own young snakes. If there is such a snake in the chicken farm and duck house, the loss will be great every night."

Later, Cen Jiahua learned that the so-called Neemergia snake is actually the Wang Jin snake, commonly known as the cauliflower snake, but the name of Rongshu Village is different from other places.

With just one cigarette, the weeds around 2 or 3 meters around the snake cave had been cleaned up. Old Chen began to swing his hoe and dig towards the entrance of the cave.

Once, twice, as Lao Chen's hoe continued to swing and fell, a curved hole slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This was the first time Cen Jiahua saw a snake catching scene with his own eyes. Even though the target of hunting was a non-toxic neem snake, he was still very nervous. As Lao Chen's digging progress continued to accelerate, Cen Jiahua's heartbeat showed signs of faster and sweating, and his palms began to sweat.

With Lao Chen digging hard for the last time, a relatively large space appeared in front of everyone.

A lemon snake with its feet as thick as an arm was entrenched on several milky white eggs, its head stood upright, and spitting its cores frantically at the uninvited guests around it.

Unfortunately, he met an expert today. A man named Uncle Zhang picked up a stick and kept fiddling with the snake. The IQ of the Neemer snake was not that high. He was foolishly fighting with the stick. I guess it thought it was its kind?

Uncle Zhang suddenly exerted force, and pressed the head of the Chrysan tightly to the ground with a flash of lightning. It seemed that it felt the end of the world, and desperately wrapped its whole body around the wooden stick, thinking that it could make people let go.

Unfortunately, it was too late for him to struggle at this time!

Uncle Zhang quickly grabbed the seven inches of the snake with his hands and lifted it up, allowing the snake'er's body to wrap around his arm.

"Yes, it's about two pounds. We'll take it orally tonight." Uncle Zhang quickly put the snake into the woven bag, and said loudly to the people around him.

However, Lao Chen carefully picked up all the snake eggs in the snake hole with his hands and carefully wrapped them in a sleeve.

"Uncle Fang, what are you doing in Uncle Chen? Can snake eggs be eaten?" Cen Jiahua looked at Old Chen's movements a little strange, so she asked Wu Fang.

"Xiao Cen hasn't eaten snake meat, right?" Wu Fang turned his head and said to Cen Jiahua: "The snake and soybeans were stewed together in a pressure cooker in the evening, and the taste was simply out of place. The snake eggs have just been laid in this season and have not started to hatch. They can be eaten and taste much better than eggs."

"I have eaten it a few times before, but it is expensive and it is very small, so it is not satisfying at all." Cen Jiahua thought about the delicious snake meat and couldn't help but drool.

"You can eat it often in the future. There are so many things on Lotus Mountain. In winter, Uncle Fang will take you to dig snakes!" Uncle Fang smiled heartily, patted Cen Jiahua's shoulder hard, and walked back to the position where he was working just now.

Listening to Wu Fang's words, Cen Jiahua began to look forward to the deliciousness of the snake soup in the future. This is something that is hard to eat in the city.

The majority of the population of Tianzhou County is Zhuang, and the entire Rongshu Village is basically Zhuang. The Zhuang people basically do not avoid any animals, so snakes or rats can basically be made into delicious food. It is said that it is flying in the sky, except for planes, cars, water, and steamships. There is basically nothing to eat.

A large group of people were working together talking and laughing. Time flies, and the work was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and the progress was very fast. By the time it was almost eleven o'clock, the weeds on the three small islands were basically about to be cleaned up.

A snake cave was destroyed on Island No. 2, but because the water snake nest was too small and had no potential to become delicious, everyone had to kill and destroy all humanely.

Because the island is a very simple ecosystem, there are basically no many animals. As for some bird nests, Lao Chen and others did not destroy them, but tried to keep them as they were. Because it is the time for birds to lay eggs and hatch eggs, people in the mountains naturally know how to protect animals and achieve sustainable development.

Throw all the cut weeds into the reservoir, and they will naturally decompose under natural conditions, become various nutrients and minerals, and return to the embrace of nature.

Cen Jiahua also met these uncles and brothers who came to help in this short morning. Most of them were over 30 years old, and they were even at the same age as Lao Chen. They had already started their own families, and because of their families, they did not go to Guangdong to work like those young men.

Farming at home, planting bananas, planting fruit trees on the mountains, and working short-term jobs nearby during the slack farming period. In this way, I have been busy all year round to earn money for children to study and build a house.

Through personal contact, Cen Jiahua truly had more intuitive feelings about the farmers. In the past, he only got the image of hardworking and simple farmers in books, but now he gradually entered the lives of farmers and understood their feelings for life and labor!

Cen Jiahua found that she was gradually falling in love with the simple and unpretentious life in the countryside.
