Nongmen's clever daughter-in-law: hook a general and give birth to a cub

Chapter 2 Snake Meat Soup

Du Yao was expressionless, but the little bun was frightened, and she shrank into a ball and hid behind her.It wasn't until he was sure that the visitor had left that he patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

The little bun was cute, and the series of actions just now had the bonus of being cute, so Du Yao couldn't help pinching his fleshy cheeks again.

"Are you hungry? Mother will cook something delicious for you."

Having seen the empty kitchen just now, Du Yao simply went out with a small bun, wandering around the mountain while looking for edible wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, guarding such a big two mountains, can you still starve to death?

When Du Yao was looking for wild vegetables, Xiao Baozi squatted aside and watched her busy, and couldn't help asking. "Mother, is the food in your hand really edible?"

Du Yao shook the bracken in her hand, her eyes lit up, "Of course you can eat it, these are all natural, no chemical fertilizers, no pollution!"

Her hand holding the bracken trembled slightly, God knows how long it had been since she had been exposed to such a fresh ingredient.

Then he freed up another hand to pinch the buns, "Let's go back and put some oil in the pot, then put the cleaned and picked bracken into the frying pan, and sprinkle some salt on it. It's simple, but It can perfectly lock the fresh fragrance of bracken."

Du Yao said enthusiastically, as if she had seen the steaming and fragrant bracken.

After the picking was almost done, Du Yao picked up some edible mushrooms and put them in the small basket brought out together, and walked back holding Xiao Baozi's hand.

She decided to show off her skills tonight and make a table of delicious food to buy one big and one small.

Du Yao was cleaning bracken and mushrooms in the yard, and Xiao Baozi was helping.But he was a little afraid of Du Yao, and looked at her timidly.

But it's not as alienated as it was at first.

When Zhou Yongnian came back, he saw Du Yao picking up mushrooms, and Xiao Baozi obediently accompanied him, helping him from time to time.

Seeing this scene, he was slightly taken aback.

This woman hasn't left yet?
Didn't he make it very clear before?

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Du Yao raised her head habitually, but stared at Zhou Yongnian with bright eyes, to be precise, at the prey that Zhou Yongnian put in his back!
Almost all of a sudden, he threw himself in front of Zhou Yongnian, his eyes full of stars. "Let me see, what delicious food have you bought?"

The wild vegetables in the mountains are good, but if there are wild game, it will be even better.

Zhou Yongnian looked at Du Yao with a complicated expression. Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd, he still took off the back strap, took out the contents one by one, and put them on the ground.

There are two hares, a pheasant, and a big boa constrictor in the back sling.

The moment she saw the python, Du Yao instinctively stepped back.

"Scared?" Zhou Yongnian glanced at Du Yao, not surprised. "This snake's round head is not poisonous, let alone dead. I'll take care of it later. Snake skin and snake gall are both good medicinal materials. You can exchange them for money at the pharmacy."

"Not afraid." Du Yao shook her head, she was not afraid of a dead python, but admired the man's skill.He is also really powerful, and he even hunted a blind bear before.

Straightening out his chest a little, he looked at Zhou Yongnian again. "You have to take the snake skin and gall bladder to the pharmacy to exchange for money, but what will you do with the snake meat?"

"Throw it away." Zhou Yongnian replied seriously without thinking too much. "Snake meat is fishy and smelly, can you eat it if you can't throw it away?"

"Why not!" Du Yao was in a hurry, her eyes were round and round, "Why can't you eat snake meat? You...you are so reckless!"

The snake meat is obviously tender and nourishing, how come it smells bad and fishy when it gets into his mouth?
Hearing this, Zhou Yongnian was even more puzzled.

But Du Yao didn't bother to explain, she had already brought the python into the kitchen by herself, and operated it in front of Zhou Yongnian.Peeling, chopping off the snake's head and tail, and then cutting open the stomach to take out the internal organs, the whole process is done in one go, very smooth.

She deboned the snake meat and stripped it into shreds, and briefly stir-fried it in a hot pan.After that, put in strong wine, ginger slices, and green onion strips to remove the fishy smell, fry them almost, take them out, and steam them on a steamer.

While the snake soup was still being made, Du Yao clapped her hands, and then asked Zhou Yongnian who was watching dumbfounded.

"Then how do you sell the remaining pheasants and hares?"

Du Yao naturally dropped her hand on the stove, looked at the man and asked seriously.

"Take it and sell it at the market." Zhou Yongnian didn't think too much about it, after all, he has always handled it like this.But looking at Du Yao's proficiency in cleaning up snake meat just now, she looks like a woman who knows how to live.

"You just sell it in the market like this?" Du Yao was a little anxious, "How much can you sell for that? According to me, you might as well make rabbits and chickens into processed dishes and sell them that way." It’s more expensive. You can also keep the rabbit skin and chicken feathers, maybe they can be used.”

According to the impression of the original owner, there are people who buy the fur of hares in the market. Although it is not as good as other large beasts, it is still a good income.

As for the feathers of the pheasants, they were already bigger and plump than the domestic ones. It would be nice if no one took her to be a feather duster.

Zhou Yongnian was still in a daze, but Du Yao had already made a plan.

The hare pheasant can be eaten cold, it will not affect the taste, it is also convenient to store, and it can be fresh, so it should be sold at a good price.

After the snake meat was steamed, Du Yao simply made a wet paste, threw it into the oil pan and rolled it, then added boiling water, and cooked it together with shredded mushrooms.

By the way, I boiled millet porridge, and mixed bracken in cold sauce. After packing up these things, I asked the father and son to eat in the yard.

Staring at the sumptuous dinner on the table, if he hadn't witnessed the production process with his own eyes, Zhou Yongnian couldn't believe it was made by Du Yao.

On the way to deliver the betrothal gift, he listened to the discussion among the villagers. They all said that Du Yao was lazy and lazy. Although she had a good skin, she had a weird personality.

After all, most of the women in their early twenties, the average child can play soy sauce, how could it be possible that they have not yet come out of the cabinet?

"Try it?" While Zhou Yongnian was still wondering, Du Yao put the snake meat in his bowl and looked at him with a smile, waiting for an evaluation.

By the way, I also rewarded a small bun and a chopstick.

Zhou Yongnian frowned, although he wondered if it was edible, he still put some in his mouth.

Then his expression changed.

"Delicious." Xiao Baozi's reaction was even more straightforward, and Du Yao was delighted with the compliment, and then rewarded him with chopsticks, smiling brightly.

Zhou Yongnian didn't particularly praise Du Yao, but he and Xiao Baozi ate up the snake soup.Du Yao was overjoyed. After tidying up the dishes, she went to the kitchen to get busy. She cooked the rabbits and chickens that were going to be sold tomorrow. She even chose a small portion and put it in a bowl so that she could try it tomorrow.

After finishing all this work, Du Yao began to think about a very serious question.

Where does she sleep tonight?
