Chapter 41 Cauliflower Snake

In the afternoon, Shui Wang came with a barrel of oil.

"Why are you being polite to us?" Zhang Yaohua said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bucket of oil in Shui Wang's hand was already taken by his second brother Zhang Yaowei.

How can you be polite?
Shui Wang shrugged, having seen this young man's style for a long time.

He saw the pile of sweet potatoes and asked, "Dig the sweet potatoes so late? My family dug all the sweet potatoes in the first two or three weeks."

Zhang Yaowei looked down upon him: "How big is your family? How big is my family?"

"That's true. My family only dug out all the money, which is only about two thousand kilograms."

It was enough food for his family.

To be honest, people can’t eat much, so they basically feed chickens and ducks.In their village, every household raises about ten poultry.In addition to feeding leftovers, sweet potatoes, rice bran, etc. are the staple food of chickens and ducks.

In addition, they are also allowed to go outside to catch bugs to eat. Real free-range chickens are never fed with feed.

He asked again: "Have you finished digging?"

Zhang Yaowei was not polite to Shui Wang: "Not yet, what? Do you want to help my family dig sweet potatoes?"

Shui Wang did not refuse and nodded: "Okay!"

Zhang Yaohua changed the subject: "Has your fishing boat been repaired?"

"Not yet! We need to replace a few important parts, and I'm afraid it will have to be repaired until night."

"so serious?"

"It's not all bad. It's very old. Let's just take the opportunity to replace it." Shui Wang said.This repair cost them just over 1 yuan.

It can be described as hemorrhage.

But in order to avoid "anchoring" at sea, they still reluctantly replaced some aging parts.

When the sun was a little less fierce, Zhang Yaohua and the others set off.

"Mom, just a few of us can go." Zhang Yaowei.

It's not that he is very filial, it's just that he doesn't want to work with his mother.

So, my mother and Azhen stayed at home and did some chores around the house.

Without their elders around, both Zhang Yaowei and Shui Wang felt relaxed and much more energetic at work.They felt uncomfortable when their elders were around.

As soon as he arrived at the sweet potato field, Zhang Yaohua saw the two guys digging a hole.

How can we still not know what they want to do?
If Mom and the others come with me, I guarantee that they won’t dare to bake sweet potatoes, and I’m afraid they will ask coldly: Are you full?
This is not at all a question of whether or not we have enough to eat.

Young people!Just like playing like this.

Zhang Yaohua doesn't stop them, as long as they work and complete the task, don't worry too much about the process in between.

In fact, Zhang Yaohua himself also wants to eat original roasted sweet potatoes.More than ten years ago?I didn’t bake the sweet potatoes myself.I did it a lot when I was a kid, and I even stole from other people's homes.

When I was a child, I had a very strange mentality. Even though I had some at home, I just liked to eat other people's food, as if other people's food was more fragrant and sweeter.

Not only sweet potatoes and fruits, but even meals.

If you eat two bowls at your own home, you can eat three bowls at other people's homes.

Zhang Yaowei dug a pit, Shui Wang ran nearby to pick up some dead branches, threw them into the pit, lit them on fire, and let them burn slowly. The three of them started digging sweet potatoes.

"Just bake two for each person, don't do so many." Zhang Yaohua said.

"I told my elder brother and he will be here soon," Shui Wang said.

His brother didn’t have much to do anyway, so he might as well call him over and work together, let’s go to the battle together!

Zhang Yaohua saw that his second brother had dug up several sweet potatoes and reminded him: "You should be fooling. If you dig out so many sweet potatoes, your mother will tell you when you go back."

During normal work, my mother is not only a supervisor, but also a quality inspector. If the defective rate is too high, I will be scolded!
Zhang Yaowei didn't pay much attention. He picked up the rotten sweet potato and threw it far away, 50 meters away.

There are no leftovers now, right?

have to!Zhang Yaohua was convinced.But he didn't say anything, he had done this kind of thing before.When my mother and I were removing corn grass, we accidentally shoveled out the corn seedlings. We quickly picked up the corn seedlings secretly and buried them back.

Suddenly, Zhang Yaowei dropped the rake and rushed forward with a look of surprise on his face: "Oh! What a big snake, weighing more than five kilograms."

When Shui Wang heard this, he also put down his work and followed after him.

Zhang Yaohua, on the other hand, had goosebumps and his scalp was numb.Growing up, my biggest fear was snakes, which looked disgusting and creepy.

Such creatures should not exist on earth.

He just couldn't understand people who kept snakes as pets.

"Damn it! Don't let it drill holes." Shui Wang also pounced on it.

Zhang Yaohua is speechless, damn!Even the eels dare not catch it like this!

"You'll know you're wrong after one bite."

Shui Wang: "Brother Hua, this is a cauliflower snake, it's not poisonous."

He had already caught the snake, holding the snake's head with one hand and holding the snake's body with the other, and raised it up to show Zhang Yaohua.

If it was a Bungara snake, he would have to run as far as he could.One bite from that thing can really kill you, it's more poisonous than a cobra.

"The belly is so big. Did you just eat a mouse? This hole may be a mouse hole. If you smoke it for a while, you might be able to catch a few mice."

It is said that Guangdong and Guangxi eat rats. However, not all rats are eaten.

What they eat is usually voles in the fields, mountain rats on the mountains, bamboo rats in the bamboo forests, etc.

House mice will never eat it.

Some people are taboo about eating rats because they think rats have viruses, are unclean, and are unhygienic.

House mice, the kind found in city sewers and garbage dumps, are indeed unclean and no one dares to eat them.

But voles, mountain rats, and bamboo rats are very clean, and may be cleaner and hygienic than the chickens you raise.Moreover, the taste of field mice is also quite good. People who have eaten it will basically say it is really delicious.

You know, voles eat rice and the like, and they choose the best rice to eat.

Such a field mouse, how can you have the nerve to say that people's homes are unclean?

"It's the best to catch. I still have black beans at home." Zhang Yaowei said.

The black bean stewed rat meat is a must-have!

"You can also bake it with straw." Shui Wang added.

People in Guangdong and Guangxi are very knowledgeable about eating field mice, mountain rats, and bamboo rats.

In fact, rats are not only eaten in Guangdong and Guangxi, but also in other provinces, especially in rural areas, where dried rat meat is a specialty!

As for the "Three Squeaks" that some people call them, Zhang Yaohua has never seen them.

The so-called "three-squeak" is a newborn mouse that has not yet grown hair.

It screams when you pick it up with chopsticks, screams again when you dip it in the sauce, and finally screams again when you put it in your mouth to eat, a total of three times, hence the name.

Many people cannot accept such a weird dish, including most people in Guangdong and Guangxi such as Zhang Yaohua.

It’s not surprising that there are so many people with heavy tastes. Which province doesn’t have people with heavy tastes?But some people describe this as a famous dish from Guangdong and Guangxi, which is really a bit slanderous.

Soon, Ah Hui came.

He was also frightened when he saw the snake.

Like Zhang Yaohua, he is also a little afraid of snakes, but not that serious.

Not surprisingly, a chicken in the house cannot escape tonight.

The so-called dragon and phoenix pot is a favorite of many people.

"Still playing? Hurry up and get to work." Ah Hui slapped his brother.

Young people work quickly. As for how many sweet potatoes rotted, Zhang Yaohua didn't even notice.
