Chapter 1139 A Dumb Person Eats Coptis Root
He kicked the sack and after hearing a louder sound coming from inside, he quickly put his feet back and shuddered, and then followed him into the main room.
The rice is deliberately left in the pot, so the dishes don’t matter. It’s summer and you don’t necessarily want to eat hot food.
Ye Yaodong watched Xiao Wu wolfing down the food and asked, "There seems to be a lot of food here. It feels like it weighs more than 100 kilograms."
"Not only that, because they arrested too many, they all went out together as a family. If the village I found was not big and remote in the countryside, and everyone looked like they didn't believe it, most of them would not have moved. , otherwise it would take hundreds of kilograms.”
"Fortunately, I said it at the beginning. It only costs about 100 kilograms at most. If it exceeds 100 kilograms, I won't have the money to pay. Later, I gave priority to collecting snakes and rats. After collecting these, I only asked for toads."
"Then people caught more toads because they were too easy for children to catch. People who made money later gave them to me. After all, they also disliked the toads as they were too disgusting. , it’s useless to take it.”
"And I told them that old snakes cost a dime a pound, mice cost 5 cents each, and toads cost a penny each. Snakes and mice were given priority. In fact, only the poorer families took action."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "No wonder, I said why there are so many, the money given is not enough at all."
Originally, the whole family only lived in a small space of 20 to 30 square meters, and a few hundred pounds was too much.
"They all thought I was a liar. At first, no one paid attention to me. Some people were still crazy about poverty and kept asking me for confirmation. I said that our hometown likes to eat snake stew, dried rats, and toads. , I will explain everything according to what you said, Brother Dong.”
"Well, good job."
"Brother Dong, are you telling the truth? I know the old snake stew, and we eat it too, but isn't it too strange for a rat to do this? Are you crazy because you are poor and haven't eaten meat in your life, so you eat rats? Why? Toad...who eats these two disgusting things? I wanted to ask this morning, but I was pressed for time and you pressed me again."
Ye Yaodong laughed and started chatting with him idly, "Don't tell me, there is a place in western Fujian in our province where people specialize in eating dried rats, but they don't eat the disgusting rats at home, they eat the fields. The field mouse inside.”
"This dried rat is also known as one of the eight dried vegetables in western Fujian. I heard it is very delicious, but I have never tried it."
"I'm going to vomit. The mice in the field are also mice... How can I bite my tongue? And that toad, this one is even more disgusting..."
He just coughed and said, "The ones that can be eaten are bullfrogs, not toads, but they all look the same. The frogs also look similar to them. They were the same family about 500 years ago. Anyway, they don't understand. You tell me, they Just listen to them, as long as you have a valid reason.”
"People who can eat these two things have nothing to eat."
"In places with many mountains and forests, there is no way to farm to fill our stomachs, so we have to find other ways to get food to eat."
"You won't eat it even if you kill me."
"When you have too little to eat, or when you have too much to eat and are tired of eating, you will think about eating these weird and new things."
"Am I too full?"
"Don't tell me, that bullfrog might really be like this, so it was studied and eaten."
Ye Yaodong just said casually that he heard it was imported from abroad. Anyway, Chinese people eat everything, and they want to take a bite of anything they have never eaten before.
Things that are rampant in foreign countries are all delicacies that can be eaten in China.
He sat for a while and then sat at the door, listening to the big guy bragging to his neighbor.
He heard the movement at Xiaowu's back door just now. The others were bragging to him too enthusiastically. Even though Mandarin was awkward, it didn't stop them from communicating with the neighbors around them.
As soon as he came out, the neighbor's old lady pulled him and exaggeratedly said: "So you came to our place to be an official? Are you so powerful?"
"What do you care about?"
Father Ye took over the conversation with a red face, "He is in charge of the sea. Didn't a lot of people in the town next door die while fishing for jellyfish some time ago? Now we have set up a new unit to take care of this..."
He didn't listen to what he said, and the others also used every opportunity to talk. The neighbors were all surprised, and their eyes brightened when they looked at him.
Their neighbor turned out to be an official, and they would be proud of it. If they had any difficulties in the future, they might be able to ask for help...
Ye Yaodong felt a little embarrassed after sitting for a long time. The person involved was not suitable to listen to this. He was only suitable to listen to others talking about him behind his back.
Although it was fun to hear it in person, it was a bit embarrassing, and everyone asked him directly. He felt a little uncomfortable bragging himself, and he had to be more humble as a person. Bragging can only come from others.
After saying a few words with a smile, he went into the house, went back to tidy up his things for going out to sea tomorrow, and then went to the backyard to take a look at the living creatures.
He hesitated and made two small holes with branches. It would take several hours until midnight. It didn't matter if a few died, but they couldn't all die.
After he finished doing this, he sat in the yard to enjoy the shade. After everyone else came in, he told them that two or three people would come with him to release the food at 11 o'clock at night.
They had already inquired about the address during the day, and when the time came, they carried their things on poles to their destination.
I don't expect it to do anything to people. Anyway, it just needs to disgust them and scare them. Originally, they were just disgusted this morning.
Not everyone is not afraid of snakes, rats, and toads. After all, city dwellers living in the city don’t see so many of them, so most of them are afraid, especially snakes. When there are too many of them, no one will not feel tingling, even snake catchers.
Moreover, when there are too many of these things, it is always not so easy to clean them up. City dwellers cannot compare with country dwellers, and cleaning these things is definitely not as easy as cleaning feces.
However, these are not poisonous, they are purely disgusting. Give him a lesson, otherwise he will not do anything. They still think that he is a foreigner and dare not do anything, so they can only ask the police.
For such disgusting things, the police come to the door every day. Some people will think that the other party is easy to bully if they don’t teach them a lesson. They will come to dump feces every day. Does he still sit there every day waiting for the cleaning?
Even if he guessed that he did it, he wanted to go to the door again to argue and make trouble during the day. After hearing the information that he is an official, he would probably have a question mark in his heart and dare not do anything to him out of fear.
Even if the couple who occupied his house were sentenced next, they would not dare to really do anything to him.
In the eyes of the masses, insignificant officials can kill people. "People should not fight officials" is a saying that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.
Ye Yaodong and his team walked for an hour or so before arriving at a place similar to a village in the city. In fact, it was much more dilapidated than Chengdong Village. There were small houses everywhere. Each household only had 20 to 30 square meters. There was no yard and nothing could be grown.
"Which one is it? So many houses look the same." Da asked in a low voice.
"This way, we have to go further in."
The few people continued to move forward and stopped in front of a house.
"This is it. After following them here in the afternoon, I piled up a few small stones at the corner of the wall as a mark."
Everyone shone their flashlights over there, and there was indeed a pile of rubble at the foot of the house.
Ye Yaodong gave a thumbs up, "Smart."
"Hurry up and find a window to pour it in, otherwise these things will keep chirping there. If they stay there for too long, they may be discovered directly. If they don't stay there for too long, everyone may think that there are only mice or frogs chirping for a while, or think it's just a dream."
"Pour it in, their windows are also iron bars, and they don't open the windows in the hot summer..."
"Shhhhh... don't say anything, hurry up."
Since they stood in front of a window stealthily, they lifted the sack together and stretched the opening into the window.
When they were ready, they untied the rope tied with the opening.
These snakes, rats, toads have been trapped in the sack for a day, and they ran all over the ground excitedly as soon as they were poured out.
The three people who just came were also excited.
"Done..."
Ye Yaodong waved at them and stood a little further away, about four or five meters away. He planned to listen to the reaction first and then run away.
After doing something bad, you always have to see the reaction of others, otherwise where is the sense of accomplishment?
They could still hear the constant croaking of toads from the house even when they stood four or five meters away. They didn't hear the sounds of old snakes and mice because there were too many toads.
After a while, several noises and cursing sounds came from the house.
"Where did the frog croaking come from..."
"Damn, why is it so noisy in the middle of the night..."
"What sound..."
The moment the lights in the house came on, several screams were heard.
"Ah!!!!!!!"
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "Go, go, leave quickly, don't stay and watch, otherwise everyone around will be woken up and turn on the lights, and we will be exposed."
"We only heard a few sounds, what a pity!!"
"Let's go, it's enough to hear it, don't get caught."
The screams became louder, and the surrounding residents were also affected a lot, cursing.
Everyone crouched down, passed under the windows of each household, and then ran out of the alley quickly.
When they ran out, more than a dozen lights were on in the alley, and they could still scream even when they were standing outside the alley.
"Oh my, you're screaming so loud!"
"You can scream even louder!"
"The louder, the better, right..."
"Hahahaha, why do I feel like you're making a dirty joke..."
"They can't be scared to death. They dared to throw feces at our house. It's not good to go to their house and beat them up, but we can fight back." Xiaowu said excitedly with a gleam in his eyes.
Ye Yaodong was satisfied, "Let's go, go back to sleep, we have to go out to sea tomorrow."
"If we all go out to sea tomorrow, what should we do if they come to our house to make trouble?"
"Just have two people to watch. No matter how they come to our house to make trouble, they will alarm the neighbors. The neighbors will persuade them not to make trouble and persuade them to go back. What's more, they have no evidence."
Seeing that they seemed to understand, he explained again.
"Didn't you guys brag about me tonight, saying that I'm an official? Who dares to fight against an official? They would definitely leave in disgrace after knowing that."
In an era when having many brothers in a family can be rampant, even a small official can crush someone to death.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Gao! You are really good. Did you think of this in advance? That's why you asked us to brag to our neighbors tonight."
"Adong is really amazing. He has a very active brain. He can not only make money but also bully people. He can bully people so much that they can't say anything and can only suffer this loss."
"It's really amazing. People say that you should look three steps ahead before you take one step. That's right. It's amazing. This has been planned long ago. It's amazing."
Ye Yaodong was very happy to be praised by everyone, but he pretended to be calm. "It's nothing. I just want to scare them. Otherwise, such disgusting things will happen in the future. Let's go, go faster."
"It's a pity that I can't see that family in chaos."
"Just thinking about it, you can imagine what will happen if there are snakes, rats, toads and toads running around in the house? There are so many of them. I guess they want to hang on the beams. . "
"It's useless to climb on the beams, rats and snakes can also climb on the roof."
"That's right, that's enough for them to drink a pot."
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "By then, the neighbors will hate them to death and scold them for ten days and half a month. So many snakes, rats, toads, will definitely run around everywhere and spread to the surrounding residents. Tomorrow, everyone will have to buy insect repellent to spray the house."
However, the surrounding residents are definitely not that serious. At most, a few will jump out of the house and they can be caught. In the first place, rats and cockroaches will inevitably run around in this kind of house.
Toads are especially easy to catch. Except that the large number will make people feel disgusted, there is no harm. It's just that the rat snake will scare most city people.
But they are all non-toxic and can't harm people. At most, they can pick up the snakes with branches and throw them into the jungle. If someone is brave enough to eat them, they will directly put them in the pot and get a bargain.
After getting away from that circle, everyone slowed down and talked and laughed while walking.
"I feel relieved now. I had to clean the gate this morning."
"I have been carrying water back and forth, and now they are bumping into me..."
It's gone tonight. I will take the bus home tomorrow. Tomorrow's update will be before 12 o'clock tomorrow night
