Chapter 39 Roasted Snake

Zhao Lan's eyes almost didn't fall out: "What did you say? Eat a snake? Can this snake be eaten? Isn't this a poisonous snake?"

Bai Zhi smiled and pulled Zhao Lan back to the shade of the tree: "This is a poisonous snake, but its flesh is not poisonous at all. On the contrary, it is delicious and delicious. If you don't believe it, you will know after you taste it."

Zhao Lan was dubious, although she was afraid, she could see that her daughter was so sure that she couldn't pour cold water again. She just obediently kept her daughter clean of the snake with a dagger, and took out a bamboo tube from the basket like a conjuration. water, let her take a sip first, and then rinse the snake meat with the remaining water.

Bai Zhi hung the collected snake on the branch, then picked up some hay branches nearby, lit a fire, cut the snake into four sections, and skewered them on the branches to roast.

Like fish meat, snake meat is easily cooked, and after a while, there is an attractive fragrance wafting out, which attracted Hu Bo and Hu Feng to stop their work and lean over to look at it.

"Is this snake meat?" Hu Feng asked in surprise, pointing at the snake meat that was still roasting on the fire.

Bai Zhi nodded: "Well, this snake meat is tender and nutritious. It's delicious and nourishing. You can try it." She took out the largest of the four strings of snake meat and handed it to Uncle Hu.

The closer the roasted snake meat is, the more intense the tempting aroma. Uncle Hu was already hungry. He smelled this smell, how could he say no to it.

He put down the farm implement in his hand, patted the dust in the palm of his hand, took the snake meat from Angelica, and couldn't wait to take a bite. Although he didn't add any seasoning, he didn't even put any salt. It's really indescribable.

"How is it?" Bai Zhi asked Uncle Hu.

Huber's mouth was empty, and he took another bite of the snake meat into his mouth. He only held out his thumb, and said something indistinctly delicious.

Bai Zhi took two more skewers of roasted snake meat and handed them to Hu Feng and Zhao Lan respectively, leaving the smallest string of snake tails for herself.

Zhao Lan saw that her daughter's string was too small, but she wanted to exchange it with her. Bai Zhi refused to say anything and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm not hungry at all, this string is enough. Besides, Hu Feng and I ate at the foot of the mountain. Two yacon fruits, I'm not hungry yet."

Zhao Lan didn't believe it: "What nonsense are you talking about, where can there be snow lotus fruit in a place like ours? Isn't that kind of thing only found in the Tianshan Snow Region?"

Bai Zhi said: "This snow lotus fruit is not the snow lotus. You should eat the roasted snake first, and you will know what snow lotus is in a while."

Seeing her daughter's persistence, Zhao Lan felt warm in her heart, and her daughter seemed to be more considerate and sensible than before.

There was a bunch of snake meat, and Hu Bo finished eating it after three times and five times. Obviously, he didn't have enough. He sighed: "I knew that snake meat could be eaten, and it was delicious. I have killed a lot of snakes in the fields over the years. It's a pity that it was thrown away every time."

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "If you like to eat it, let Hu Feng catch it for you. He is very powerful. In front of him, this snake is like a fly and mosquito, vulnerable to a single blow."

Hu Bo and Zhao Lan listened to her exaggerated remarks, and they couldn't close their mouths with laughter. Even Hu Feng, who has always been unsmiling, couldn't help but put a rather obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.

After Bai Zhi finished eating the snake tail in her hand, she took out two bamboo tubes from the basket, both of which were filled with cool stream water.

"We brought this from the foot of Luoying Mountain. You two have a drink, and my mother and I have a drink."
