Datang Nongwang

Chapter 439 Dragon and Phoenix Soup

Catch the snake.

Perhaps for Li Chongyuan, it was a little frightening.

But for Jin Naishi and the others, the opposite is very simple.

They are all people who have been on the battlefield and climbed out of the dead. Just this small scene, to them, it is a child's play.

This is not.

The cloth bag that Li Chongyuan sewed for them already looked heavy in a short while.

"Xiao Langjun, there are not enough bags, it seems that we should prepare more bags." Jin's servant came over with a half-filled bag of snakes.

Seeing this, Li Chongyuan was still a little terrified, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, "Old Qiao, go, hurry up and ask someone to sew more cloth bags, get moving, don't worry about the time."

After Qiao Su heard the words, he called a servant and hurried back to the village.

Too many snakes.

It exceeded Li Chongyuan's plan.

Li Chongyuan only sewed ten cloth bags.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is far from enough. It is estimated that at least seventy or eighty cloth bags are needed.

Jin's servant threw the snake bag away, and ran away with another bag.

In terms of the speed of catching snakes, it was several times faster than Xingba and the others holding a fork to catch snakes.

Moreover, Jin's waiter was still catching snakes with bare hands, which made Li Chongyuan really amazed at Jin's ability, and even wondered if this guy belonged to a snake catcher in his hometown in his previous life.

past life.

Li Chongyuan remembered.

There is a snake catcher in the village.

Belongs to the special snake.

As long as I have free time, I must take the bag, bring some necessary things, and go to the edge of the ditch, or to the foot of the mountain, what's more, I will go to the mountain.

Whenever he comes home.

Li Chongyuan is always curious and will ask the last question, how is the harvest today.

In the west of Jiangxi.

It can be said that there are still many snake catchers in this industry.

Although there are not so many such people in every village, it can also be said that there must be a snake catcher in two or three villages.

When it comes to the snake catcher.

Li Chongyuan thought of someone from another industry.

That is the person who fishes frogs professionally.

Frog, also known as tiger frog.

In Li Chongyuan's previous life in the west of Jiangxi.

People who professionally fished frogs were definitely the object of Li Chongyuan's pursuit when he was a child.

A bamboo pole more than ten meters long, plus an old and long silk thread.

Throw it into ponds, puddles, mountain ponds and other places at will.

The frog man held the pole in one hand, slowly shaking the bamboo pole, and covered his mouth with the other hand.

in a moment.

The sound of a frog will come out of his mouth.

Its voice is loud and pleasant to listen to.

And when the frog man's voice came out, some frogs would inevitably be lured out of the pond, competing for food.

As long as the frog man sees a frog taking the bait, he will immediately close his shot.

With lightning speed, he pulled out the prepared bag from his waist and caught the frog.

Just this method of fishing for frogs.

Whether it is Li Chongyuan, or other children, or even other adults, etc.

All envious and jealous.

The nutritional value of frogs is extremely high.

This also makes it highly sought after by the world in the west of Jiangxi. Its price can make ordinary farmers flinch, and they always hope to learn the tricks of frogmen.

but.

Just like this method of fishing frogs, don’t talk about learning it, people don’t want to say a word to you.

And this time.

The speed at which Jin's waiter caught snakes made Li Chongyuan extremely suspect that he must have learned the snake catcher's skills when he was in his hometown.

otherwise.

Regardless of the speed or technique of Jin Naishi's catching snake, it is really comparable to several moves.

This is not.

in a moment.

The waiter Jin came over again with half a bag of snakes, then threw it away, took an empty bag, and continued to catch snakes.

New Badlands catches snakes very fast.

And Qiao Hui and the others sewed bags very quickly.

and.

Qiao Su also called several women to help, trying to sew the bag Li Chongyuan needed as quickly as possible.

"It's a waste to sew so many bags for such a fine cloth." A woman babbled as she sewed a bag.

"Isn't it, such a good fabric, what a pity."

"Yeah, there are still so many cloth heads. I have to ask Mr. Xiaolang later if we can take these cloth heads away."

"Let's ask Mrs. Qi first."

Cloth, must be good cloth.

There are dozens of bolts of cloth in Li Chongyuan's place.

This was awarded to Li Chongyuan when he was nominated last time. It happened that Li Chongyuan needed some cloth from time to time, so he got some directly from Chang'an County Bo's Mansion.

This can be regarded as a crooked attack, and it has been dealt with today's matter.

Joe Su's house.

Zhang Wenli looked at the medicine powder he had prepared in front of him, and was very satisfied in his heart, "It's finally ready, as soon as the snake arrives, I can try to make it."

After Zhang Wenli finished his work, he came out of Qiao Su's house and was about to go to the small courtyard.

And right now.

Holding the sewn bag, a man rushed to the wasteland in a hurry.

Coincidentally, he bumped into Zhang Wenli.

"Why are you in such a hurry, you don't know the way." Zhang Wenli, who was bumped, scolded the servant.

The servant hurriedly picked up the bag from the ground, "Doctor Zhang, something serious has happened. All the snakes have come out of the wasteland. There are many, many. Mr. Xiao Lang said there are at least a thousand of them."

"What! So many?" Zhang Wenli was taken aback when he heard the servant's words, and then rushed towards the wasteland.

As soon as he came to Li Chongyuan's side, he saw that there were already ten cloth bags on the ground, and his heart skipped a beat.

And far away.

Waiter Jin and the others had no choice but to start tying the snake with a rope without a cloth bag.

This made Zhang Wenli anxious, "Don't kill me, I want to live."

Li Chongyuan, who had been nervously watching Jin's waiter and others catching snakes, turned his head when he heard Zhang Wenli's voice next to him, "Mr. Zhang, why are you here? Aren't you dispensing medicine?"

"The medicine has been prepared, but judging from the situation, the medicines prepared are a little short, and I have to trouble you to go to Chang'an to buy some more medicine. There are so many snakes, Mr. Get rich." Zhang Wenli happily replied.

Li Chongyuan was a little puzzled.

Are you going to get rich?

What kind of money are you making?

Make a fortune?
present.

The snake can really not be sold for a few dollars, not even enough to pay for meals and travel expenses.

Just Chang'an West City.

Very few people sell snakes.

Even if there is, few people care about it.

but.

When Li Chongyuan remembered that Zhang Wenli was an imperial doctor, he said that he was going to get rich, and then he thought that Zhang Wenli was going to concoct snake medicine.

Immediately.

Li Chongyuan also happily replied: "I'll have to trouble you, Imperial Physician Zhang. But don't worry, if your concocted snake medicine can sell for a high price, I will share half of it with you."

"Haha, little man, you said this, I didn't force you." Zhang Wenli laughed loudly after hearing that he divided him in half.

Li Chongyuan was not stingy, so he naturally responded, "Of course, that's what I said, every spittle nails."

"Forget it, don't share the other half with me, just serve me a jar of good wine, and keep the other half for yourself." Zhang Wenli looked at Li Chongyuan with a sinister smile.

Li Chongyuan looked at Zhang Wenli.

It turned out that he was waiting for himself here.

Ask for a drink.

Drunkards are not easy to serve.

Up to Li Yuan, a drunkard, down to Zhang Wenli.

There is also the chief manager Wang Liwang who comes to my place from time to time to play the autumn wind.

If Li Chongyuan didn't tell Xingba and the others, maybe Xingba and the other little drunks would have stolen all his wine already.

Just the wine stored in Qiao Su's house.

Not much at all.

But now these days, there is less and less wine.

Recently, Li Chongyuan wondered whether Zhang Wenli drank his own wine secretly when he was in Qiao Su's house for consultation.

For this matter.

Li Chongyuan didn't bother to ask.

Anyway, it's just a few jars of wine, and if it's gone, it's gone.

As long as there is a lot of wine in the cellar of the new warehouse, that's fine.

When Zhang Wenli looked at Li Chongyuan, he also looked at Li Chongyuan, and even raised his eyebrows, as if to signal himself.

Li Chongyuan smiled awkwardly, "Okay, it's just a jug of wine, and it's not a big deal. When this matter is over, you can find Qiao Su to move it."

"Haha, it's rare to see you being generous, so I'm going to get really drunk today." Seeing Li Chongyuan's acceptance, Zhang Wenli was overjoyed.

Catch the snake.

With the cloth bag, the speed also started to get faster and faster.

As the cloth bags were delivered one after another.

The snake shadows that could be seen everywhere on the wasteland in the distance disappeared after an hour.

And Jinnai waited on them.

It has also started to go in the direction of the snake's nest, and started to catch the snake's nest.

Another half an hour later.

Under the leadership of Jin's servant, they searched the surrounding area for a mile or two, and after confirming that there was no trace of the snake, everyone gave up.

"Fourth brother, there are a lot of snakes. Fourth brother, can snakes be eaten? I heard from Dadu that he often ate snakes, and he said they tasted good." Wan'er looked at the nearly a hundred bags on the floor, standing still. Watch from afar.

When Li Chongyuan heard the girl mentioned eating snake meat, his face tightened, "If you don't eat it, if you can't eat it, you will be poisoned to death."

It's not that Li Chongyuan is afraid of eating snake meat.

It's just that he, Li Chongyuan, was a little apprehensive.

Li Chongyuan can eat ticks, but for snakes, Li Chongyuan is really not good at it.

to this end.

When Li Chongyuan heard Wan'er's words, he directly refused, and even said it was poisonous.

Come on.

Li Chongyuan was also tangled in his heart.

There is a saying.

The most delicious soup in the world, wouldn't Li Chongyuan want to try it?

The name of Longfeng soup is very famous in the southern Guangdong.

One or two snakes, one chicken.

A little bit of other ingredients.

You can make a delicious and nourishing dragon and phoenix soup.

But the problem is that Li Chongyuan is frightened.

"Fourth brother, didn't doctor Zhang just say that the snake's venom is only around the head, and the snake's body is not poisonous. Moreover, Lao Jin also said that the snakes in these bags are not poisonous. Seeing that her fourth brother refused to agree to her request, Wan'er continued to trick her fourth brother.

Li Chongyuan looked at Zhang Wenli who was nearby, and stared at him with a sentence in his eyes, you have so many mouths.

Followed.

Li Chongyuan glared at the servant Jin again, and there was another sentence in his eyes.

Whether Wan'er's proposal is good or bad.

It depends on Li Chongyuan himself.

But come on.

Li Chongyuan himself wanted to try it, to see if it could relieve his fear of snakes.

Even if there is no disease, it must be cured.

Li Chongyuan didn't reply, and after confessing a few words to Qiao Su, Qiao Su went to order some helpers.

Shortly after.

Numerous cloth bags were mentioned in the open space on the south side of Lizhuang.

"Xiao Langjun, I don't need these non-poisonous snakes, what do you think about it?" Zhang Wenli approached Li Chongyuan in a timely manner to inquire.

At this time, Wan'er, who has been nagging non-stop, is full of interest, "Fourth brother, eat snake meat, I want to eat snake meat. Doctor Zhang said snake meat is very nourishing, and uncle also wants to eat snake meat."

"Go and go, you're everywhere, don't drag uncle into the water if you're greedy." Li Chongyuan seemed to see this girl endlessly.

Just when Li Chongyuan was thinking about what to do with those bags of non-poisonous snakes, Li Yuan came over. "Yuan'er, have you finished catching all the snakes?"

"Back to Uncle, I've caught them all, without missing any." Seeing Li Yuan's arrival, Li Chongyuan responded quickly.

Li Yuan looked at the bags full of snakes on the floor, and nodded, "I think back then, when we were fighting, we were trapped for a month, and we ate whatever we saw. Thinking back to those years, the snakes did not eat less, It tastes really good too.”

Okay.

Another foodie has been opened.

Immediately.

With the beginning of Li Yuan's words, the girl Wan'er looked at Li Chongyuan eagerly, "Fourth brother, just do it once, I know you will definitely do it, and it must be delicious."

Li Chongyuan saw this big and young couple who were foodies.

Immediately speechless, he sighed, "Forget it, I'll try it once, if it doesn't taste good, don't blame my craftsmanship."

Li Chongyuan actually knew it too.

People in the north don't eat this stuff.

It is only eaten in the south, that is, in the southern Guangdong area.

Even in this palace, Li Chongyuan had never heard of snake soup.

After hearing this, Wan'er yelled and clapped her hands happily.

But Li Yuan, as if he got something good, narrowed his eyes, smiled without saying a word, turned around and left.

Li Chongyuan saw this.

She knew that Li Yuan's arrival must have been instigated by this girl.

There is a saying.

Be a snake in the south.

It must be impossible to enter the house.

Only outside the house.

This caused everyone to see Li Chongyuan setting up a stove outside the house, and after hearing Li Chongyuan's explanation, they all shook their heads in confusion.

Also really.

Li Chongyuan couldn't tell why.

Why are you afraid that the kitchen god will not like it, why are you afraid that insects will fall from the roof of the stove and enter the pot, making this soup a poisonous soup and so on.

In short.

No one thought Li Chongyuan's words were correct.

And Li Chongyuan really couldn't come up with convincing words.

"Fourth brother, what's the name of this soup? There must be a name, right?" Wan'er, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, saw her fourth brother busy, and asked for the name of the soup.

Li Chongyuan said bluntly.

But when I think of the current era, it must be inappropriate to call it Longfeng Tang directly.

Immediately.

Li Chongyuan looked at Li Yuan in the courtyard, walked over and asked, "Uncle, I use snakes and chickens for this soup. Snakes are similar to dragon statues, and chickens are similar to phoenixes. I want to name it Longfeng soup. Uncle, do you think it is possible?"

"Why not? It's just a soup, you can call it whatever you want." Li Yuan said indifferently when he heard Li Chongyuan's words.
