The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 133 I Got You
Throughout the morning, Zhao Shihai was busy making sets on the Songbai Mountain contracted by Wang Shaodong. In the end, he managed to work more than 100 sets.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Wang Shaodong arranged for Zheng Hui to boil a piece of snake meat that hadn't been cooked yesterday, and make a snake broth for my uncle.

The lunch is the same as yesterday, and it is eaten on the wild slopes, which has a rural atmosphere.

When the food was served, Zhao Shihai frowned immediately when he saw the plate full of meat, the thick piece of snake meat.

Then he looked up and found a snakeskin hanging on the door of the house where his nephew lived, and his brows frowned even tighter.

"Snake meat?"

Wang Shaodong looked at his uncle who was excited for some reason, and nodded.

"Yellow flower snake?"

Wang Shaodong nodded again.

"At least ten catties?"

Wang Shaodong nodded again.

"oops!"

Zhao Shihai was so excited, he stood up abruptly, spun around on the spot, and then frantically grabbed his hair, messing up his already disheveled hair even more.

"When did you catch it?"

"Yesterday morning."

"Oh, oh, Dongzi, what about the snake, where is the snake meat?"

"That's all. I had a meal yesterday and sent some to Zheng Hui's family and my dad, and then that's all that's left."

Zhao Shihai patted his forehead several times suddenly, then shook his head, looked at Wang Shaodong and said, "Oh, oh, I said nephew, do you know how much this snake costs per catty?"

Wang Shaodong looked innocently at Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao who were also at a loss. He wanted to see how they reacted, but when he saw their bewildered expressions, he felt helpless.

"I do not know."

"Oh, forget it, forget it, don't say it, don't say it."

Seeing that his uncle suddenly stopped talking when he was talking about a critical moment, Wang Shaodong hurriedly said: "No, uncle, if you don't finish the sentence like this, then we won't be able to swallow our lunch at noon today."

Zhao Shihai thought for a while, then sighed and said: "As far as the snake you caught, I saw it three times and failed to catch it. This snake is the largest yellow-flowered snake in our area, and it is the only other largest snake." Half the size. This kind of snake of this size costs at least 150 yuan a catty in a big restaurant in Quancheng. This snake is 500 yuan! You, you just ruined 500 yuan. Money!"

Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao were shocked when they heard that this thing was so valuable.

On the contrary, Wang Shaodong looked at his brother-in-law's heartbroken look, and laughed out loud after he understood the whole story.

"I said uncle, since someone is willing to spend 500 yuan to buy this thing, it means that this thing is a good thing. Eating it must be good for the body. Since eating it is good for the body, why don't we eat it , but want to sell it? Let’s eat it, isn’t it very good? Didn’t you also say, uncle, that there is only one snake this big, and we managed to catch it, so why sell it so easily?”

Wang Shaodong picked up a mouthful of meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and while chewing, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Uncle, it's delicious, eat it quickly."

Zhao Shihai was a little stunned, his nephew was too generous in his attitude towards the snake.

He thinks about it himself, the nephew's family earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from that batch of chickens last year, so the 500 yuan must be ignored.

Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao saw that their brother Dong had already dropped their chopsticks, and after thinking about how much it would cost them a few dollars, they persuaded Wang Shaodong's brother-in-law to do it, while they were busy stuffing snakes into their own mouths. pieces of meat.

Zhao Shihai must have eaten snake meat, but he has never eaten such a big snake.

"Uncle, don't just look at it, it's more than 500 yuan, it's a pity if you don't eat it."

After being told by his nephew, Zhao Shihai finally let go of his thoughts and ate a piece of snake meat.

"Well, well, not bad, Dongzi, this snake meat stew is really good."

"Of course, our chef never disappoints." Wang Shaodong looked at Zheng Hui beside him while talking.

Zheng Hui scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Wang Shaodong and said, "Brother Dong, I was fooling around. When I was working for the husband, he made the snake broth so delicious."

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong also went to the South, where there was a tradition of eating snake meat, and the snake meat they made was really delicious.

"Come on, Zheng Tao, fill up the wine for my uncle, fill up the wine."

Wang Shaodong likes to drink Jingzhi Baigan. When Wang Shaodong was very young, when his grandfather held him in his arms and drank, Wang Shaodong fell in love with it.

The taste of this wine is not offensive, unlike the sauce-flavored white wine, it is spicy from the mouth to the stomach in one sip.If someone doesn't know where their stomach is, they can take a sip of high-concentration Maotai-flavored liquor, and wait until the hot feeling stops at a certain position, that is the stomach.

After the wine was poured, Wang Shaodong took the initiative to raise his glass, and said to his uncle Zhao Shihai, "Come on, uncle, my nephew is toasting you today, thank you for helping me with so many tricks, and we will come here for another drink when we catch rabbits tomorrow." ha."

Zhao Shihai finally laughed. He glanced at the snake broth in the basin and said, "Dongzi, just for this snake broth, your uncle and I will drink more."

Zheng Tao joked on the side: "Don't drink more, it's 500 yuan."

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter, even Zhao Shihai also laughed.

After laughing, Zhao Shihai also felt much more comfortable in his heart.

If you can't grasp it by yourself, who can you rely on?

"Not to mention, the game must be old." Zhao Shihai said while tasting the snake meat, nodding his head.

"Zheng Hui, Zheng Tao, if you want to talk about the taste of game, if my brother-in-law says that he is the second in Dazhai Township, no one will dare to say that he is the first."

Zhao Shihai's reputation is very good in Dazhai Township. He specializes in planing food on the mountain. No one else knows about the many ways to survive on the mountain, but he knows it like the back of his hand.

Being on the mountain all day, it is indispensable to get some game on the mountain near the water, so it is very reasonable to say that Zhao Shihai has the right to say the most about the game.

"Brother Dong, let alone Dazhai Township, our uncle is the most powerful expert on the mountain in Gangcheng County." Zheng Tao said with a thumbs up.

Zhao Shihai shook his head in embarrassment: "What kind of skill is this, it makes people laugh."

"Uncle, in my eyes, you are a capable person. By the way, have you thought about what I told you just now? For 100 yuan a day, I will hire you to be our technical consultant." ,How about it?"

Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao also admired Zhao Shihai very much. When they heard that Dong Ge wanted to hire him as a technical consultant, they immediately looked at him eagerly, hoping that he could give an affirmative answer.
