Chapter 79: Braised or stewed

Gu Rong quickly jumped back out of the cart and touched a large stone by the wall.

He tiptoed onto the cart and stared at the snake underneath. Seeing that it was about to swim under the wheel, he suddenly threw a stone at it.

The stone hit the snake’s head just right, smashing the snake’s head to pieces.

Just as Gu Rong was about to get out of the car to pick it up, Gu Qing said: “Uncle, wait a minute. I heard that snakes are not easy to die. Last year, I heard that someone brewed medicinal wine. There was a snake in it that had been soaked for ten years. When pouring the wine, the snake suddenly jumped out and bit the person’s mouth.”

“I heard it was a venomous snake, and the man died soon after.”

Gu Rong smiled and said: “I’ve heard about that too. Well, the snake has died a long time ago, but snakes have a grudge and will take revenge even if they die.”

Gu Qing handed him the machete: “Then make two more cuts.”

Gu Rong took the machete, got out of the car, and carefully opened the stone.

Then he picked up the stone and smashed the snake’s head several times until the snake couldn’t die anymore. Then he picked it up with a machete and hung it on a dead tree nearby: “This snake is venomous, but the more venomous the snakes are, the more their meat tastes better.”

“Let my second sister-in-law make snake soup tomorrow morning.”

The night passed peacefully.

At dawn, Old Lady Gu got up.

Old people wake up early when they get older.

Together with Old Lady Gu, Lian’er, who was sleeping with her, also had to get up. The old lady urged her to pack the bedding and asked her to collect some firewood from the surroundings.

Lian’er glanced at her mother and brother who were huddled under the wall, and silently went to collect firewood in the field.

Not long after, the women woke up one after another.

Women make breakfast in the morning and are used to getting up early.

Hongxia, the second daughter-in-law of the village chief, was going to find a place to relieve herself. Suddenly she saw a dead snake hanging on a tree and screamed.

Gu Fei was woken up immediately and sat up suddenly. What happened?

She looked through the gap in the mule carriage and saw Hongxia pointing at a dead snake and screaming.

Gu Fei quickly put on her clothes and ran over to look at the snake: “This snake is so thick. It will be delicious when it’s braised.”

Hongxia has run far away.

Uncle Ma looked at the snake and nodded: “Braised sauce is better than braised in plain broth.”

Gu Fei turned to look at Uncle Ma: “I heard it tastes good fried.”

Uncle Ma touched his chin and said, “I haven’t eaten fried food before. I don’t know if it tastes good.”

Gu Fei has never eaten fried food. Before the zombie outbreak in her last life, she had eaten several flavors in restaurants. Death was expensive, and a pot of snake meat cost hundreds.

That taste makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Gu Rong came over and said: “Xiao Fei, do you know how to make snake meat?”

Gu Fei nodded vigorously.

Gu Rong waved his hand and said: “Then you can do it. Our two families will eat it. I caught this last night.”

Gu Fei was so happy that she almost jumped up: “Uncle, then I will.”

She looked at Uncle Ma and said: “Uncle Ma, do you know how to handle snakes? If not, I will do it.”

Uncle Ma smiled and said, “I’m good at this.”

He traveled all over the country, often resting in the wilds, and ate a lot of snake meat.

Gu Fei hurriedly ran back to call Gu Erlang and Gu Sanlang to set up the stove. She ran back and forth to get the kitchen knife, the chopping board, and the iron pot and poured out the seasonings in her space.

After a while, Uncle Ma disposed of the snake on a stone slab.

All the internal organs were removed and buried in the soil. Gu Fei took the broken snake aside, secretly washed it with water, put it on the cutting board, and chopped it into pieces.

Then heat oil in a pan, add snake meat and stir-fry.

At this time, everyone got up and gathered around Gu Fei to watch her cooking snake meat.
