Chapter 39: Roasted Snake
When Zhao Lan heard her daughters words, her eyeb.a.l.l.s almost drop on the ground: What are you talking about? Eat the snake? Isnt snake poisonous?
Bai Zhi smiled and pulled Zhao Lan back into the shade: There is a poisonous snake, but this one is not poisonous at all . On the contrary, it is delicious and nutritious . You will not know it unless you try .
Zhao Lan still has some doubt . She was afraid of it, but she could see that her daughter was so sure about it . She even saw her pouring water on it and cleaning . Bai Zhi took out the bamboo tube on her bamboo bag . She took a sip first and then rinse the snake meat with the remaining water .
Bai Zhi hangs the cleaned snakes skin on the branch . Then, she burned a pile of dry branches nearby . She cut the snake meat into four sections and stick them on small branches .
The snake meat was like a fish . Its meat was very easy to cook . In a short while, a seductive scent made Hu Changlin and Hu Feng stopped their hands from working and turned to look .
Is that the snake meat? Hu Feng asked with amazement while staring at snake meat burning on the fire .
Bai Zhi nodded her head: Mmm, this snake meat is fresh and delicious . Its nutritious, so it will nourish your body . You try it . Bai Zhi took the largest one and handed it to Hu Changlin .
As the roasted snake meat getting closer and closer, its seductive scent was getting richer and richer . Hu Changlin was already hungry, so when he smelled it, he couldnt refuse .
He put down the farm tool and patted away the gray soil in his hands before he took the roasted snake that was handed over to him . Hu Changlin couldnt wait any longer, so he took a bite . Although there was no seasonings, nor salt . The taste has no any difference .
How is it? Bai Zhi asked Hu Changlin .
Hu Changlins mouth was full . He bites the roasted snake meat right into his mouth . So, he could only raise his thumb and vaguely said that it was delicious .
Bai Zhi took another two sticks of snake meat and handed it to Hu Feng and Zhao Lan . She left the smallest part to herself .
Zhao Lan saw her daughters food was too small, so she wanted to change with her . But, Bai Zhi didnt agree . Bai Zhi smiled and said: Niang, Im not hungry at all . This stick is enough . Besides, Hu Feng and I ate at the foot of the mountain . I ate two yacon fruits . Im not hungry now .
Zhao Lan didnt believe her: What nonsense are you saying? Where in this place could you find yacon fruits? Isnt that something only grow in a snowy mountain like Tianshan?
Bai Zhi replied: This yacon fruit is different . You eat the snake meat first . You will know what yacon fruit Im saying later .
Seeing her daughter keep insisting on this, Zhao Lan felt warm in her heart . Her daughter seemed more intimate than before .
After the large snake meat was eaten, Hu Changlin obviously was still not full, so he sighed and said: If I knew that snake could be eaten and taste delicious, I should have killed a lot of snakes in this filed . But, its a pity, I threw them all away .
Bai Zhi smiled and said: If you like to eat a snake, you can ask Hu Feng to give you a hand . Hu Feng is amazing, he can grab the snake as if only grabbing a mosquito . The snake couldnt fight at all .
When Hu Changlin and Zhao La heard Bai Zhis exaggerated words, they laughed and laughed . It was only Hu Feng who stayed silent, but his lips have a pretty smile .
After eating the snake tail in her hand, Bai Zhi took out two bamboo tubes from her bamboo bag, which was filled with a cold water from the stream .
This is what we brought from the foot of the Luoyang Mountain . You two drink this, me and niang will drink the other one .
