Chapter 371 Craftsmanship
The perception on Shi Shangzhen's legs gradually recovered about five minutes after applying the medicine, and he could walk normally after ten minutes.
Today, the "small trip" of the two was officially over. Then, I rushed to the place where the tree tube was hung. Not to mention that it was raining, even the home that I couldn't go back before dark was unknown. So the two of them took off the tree tube and placed it here, waiting for the warmth to come tomorrow to deal with it.
Without the tree tube, Dabai and Dazhu were much faster, especially Shi Shangzhen had relatively "professional" riding equipment. One hour before the heavy rain, the two of them returned home.
As soon as he returned to the yard of his home, Wen Xu directly took out the snake, hung it on the jujube tree, tied the snake's tail with a thin rope, cut a ten-flower from the snake's head with a sharp black-shaped knife, and then began to peel the snake.
Shi Shangzhen stood beside him and looked for a while, then opened his mouth and said, "You are so cruel!"
Wen Xu replied: "Wait until you can say this when you eat tonight!"
As he said that, he didn't stop his hand, he turned up the snake skin that was pulled in his hand, and teared it back little by little.
"How to cook it at night? A dragon and tiger fight?" Shi Shangzhen stood aside, sat on a small bench far away, grabbed Dahua's fat little ears on his forehead, and asked Wen Xu.
Wen Xu said, "Where did the tiger come from? I don't eat cat meat, why don't you do this? You go home and catch your cat. I'll burn you a dragon and tiger fight tonight!"
"No, why do you always think about my kitten?" Shi Shangzhen was immediately dissatisfied when she heard Wen Xu wanted to eat his kitten.
This kitten can be said to be her little baby. She even slept on the bed when she slept. Now her body has been cleaned by Shi Shangzhen, and there are no fleas or anything else.
Let me put it this way, the kitten that Shi Shangzhen snatched from Wenxu has become Shi Shangzhen's heart. She is not happy if anyone wants to touch her.
"You said you wanted to eat dragon and tiger fighting. I don't have a cat here, so I can only eat yours. Otherwise, let's slaughter the big flower and eat bear's paw!" Wen Xu said, turning his head and looking at the big flower squatting in front of Shi Shangzhen's legs.
Dahua was lying lazily, stretching her tongue to lick her forefoot. When she heard Wen Xu calling her name, she turned her head to look at Wen Xu, and then seemed to feel something from Wen Xu's eyes. She immediately spread her legs and ran to the wall to hide. Not only did she hide, but she also stretched her head from the corner of the wall to look at Wen Xu.
"Look, you scared the big flower!" Shi Shangzhen said with a smile.
Wen Xu looked at it and said happily: "It turns out that it also has times of fear!"
The two of them were talking, and a dog figure appeared at the door! After the scum stretched lazily at the door, he swayed like a child of the Eight Banners and walked into the yard with a turtle.
"You're back early today!" Wen Xu glanced at the scum and said jokingly.
The scum looked up, stood up and glanced at Wen Xu, then looked at Shi Shangzhen, paused, then walked towards his own food bowl, stretched his head and looked in. There was nothing to eat, so he got back to his doghouse and lay motionless inside.
Shi Shangzhen looked at the scum and asked strangely: "The scum looks not in a good mood today!"
"That's really thankful to God. It's rare to be so honest. If it can be so well-behaved when it's in a bad mood, I would rather it be in a bad mood every day!"
Looking at the scum, Wen Xu couldn't help but stop the work in his hand, looked at the scum that was not as good as the scum, and then said.
Shi Shangzhen said, "Don't you find it strange?"
"I'm not a dog's psychologist. As long as it eats, I don't care much about its emotional problems!" Wen Xu continued to peel off his snake skin.
After the snake skin was peeled, Wenxu picked up the minced meat on it, and then hung it on another branch, turned around and cut open the snake's belly. Who knew that with a knife, Wenxu realized that this was a female snake, and there was a snake egg in its belly.
Wen Xu didn't have any tricks to think about it. He took out the snake eggs and put them in a small paper box. It was impossible to hatch them. Now he can only feed them to the monkeys.
Holding the paper box, Wen Xu walked outside the yard, stretched his head and looked for a while, but there were no traces of monkeys nearby. I don’t know where these guys went today.
"Khan? Khan!"
Wen Xu shouted twice, but there was no movement around him, so he had to put the paper box on the small tree branch and wait for the monkeys to show these snake eggs themselves.
Wen Xu turned around and returned to the gate of the yard. Before he could enter the yard, he heard a sound of Dalinzi: "Look, there is a paper box on that tree, Brother Daleizi!"
When Wen Xu heard Da Linzi shouting, he immediately said, "Don't touch it, it's a nest of snake eggs, I'll keep it for the monkey to eat."
As soon as he turned around, Wen Xu saw these monkeys, all of whom were bare-armed. Many of them were holding small branches in their hands. They didn't know where they were going crazy and came back. Now they were all staring at the snake eggs they had just placed on the tree.
"Oh!" Da Linzi nodded immediately when he heard Wen Xu say this, "So you put it on, uncle, we promise not to do it!"
Not only Da Linzi, but when Wen Xu's eyes swept across his face since childhood, all the little guys nodded.
Wen Xu then turned around and went into the yard and continued to deal with his snake meat.
Not two minutes after Wen Xu entered the yard, he heard the voice of Dabin's mother Xu Hongxia from outside the yard: "You guys who are debt collecting ghosts, why are you playing with snake eggs?"
"Run!"
I don’t know which little kid yelled, and it immediately became a mess outside the courtyard wall, but it became quiet again within a few seconds.
Wen Xu held his knife, paused, then sighed, and continued to take care of his snake flesh.
Not long after, Xu Hongxia stood in front of Wen Xu and saw Wen Xu peeling the snake. She opened her mouth and said, "Uncle, it turns out that you are peeling the snake. She is not small, she must be five or six kilograms, this snake!"
"Would you like to divide you into one part? We will only have three of us tonight, and we may not be able to finish our meal," said Wen Xu.
Xu Hongxia thought for a while, nodded without politely and said, "Then I will thank uncle first!"
After saying that, I remembered the serious business I had, and said to Wen Xu: "Uncle, there is a strange color tomato growing in our greenhouse. Didn't you tell you that there is a strange color to notify you, and I'll just sue you for this."
"What color?" Wen Xu asked.
Xu Hongxia said: "Purple, snow purple and snow purple!"
Xu Hongxia, the snow in the purple snow, is in the hometown dialect, which means the kind that is particularly purple.
"Oh! Then don't let people pick this one. Wait until it's ripe and then tell me," Wen Xu said.
"Why don't you go over and take a look now?" Xu Hongxia said.
"No need now, wait until it's ripe before going," said Wen Xu.
At this time, the snake in Wen Xu's hand was almost taken care of. He turned to Shi Shangzhen and said, "Director, go and get me a basin!"
Seeing Shi Shangzhen stand up, he immediately remembered that he had to give Xu Hongxia a piece of it, so he said again: "Pick two!"
Waiting for Shi Shangzhen to take the interlude, Wen Xu had already taken the snake off the tree, and he carried the snake's body and started to cut it with a knife. Each section was five or six centimeters in size, and then one portion was given to Xu Hongxia.
“How to do it?”
Wen Xu said: "Fry first, then braised to make a fresh and spicy flavor."
Xu Hongxia held the basin and said thanking her. She turned around and had not left yet. She looked at the jujube tree in Wenxu's courtyard and said, "Uncle, the dates in your courtyard are good. It's time to ripen, right? I've seen Hong Shan'er!"
Wen Xu looked up and said, "It's probably just these few days!"
Generally speaking, the dates should be ripe in July, but I don’t know why the dates on this old tree are a little late. So far, there are not many red ones. The dates on the trees are all green and not lost, but they taste good, crispy and sweet!
If the tree had been put outside, it would have been picked by a group of naughty children or monkeys, but in the courtyard, there would be little squirrels coming back to climb this tree from time to time. For the descendants of the demon king in the village, this jujube tree represents their childhood memories. The jujube and monkeys in the village were very afraid of squirrels, so these jujubes could survive until now. Otherwise, I would not know that the year of the monkey, the jujube on the tree would be gone.
Xu Hongxia mentioned it just like that, and then went back with the snake flesh.
Shi Shangzhen heard Xu Hongxia mention the jujube tree, so he asked, "So this jujube village is not owned by all the public?"
"It was shared by the whole village for more than ten years ago, but now it belongs to me. Why, can anyone hear anything? "Wen Xu asked curiously.
Shi Shangzhen shook his head and said, "I just asked, the jujubes on the tree are quite a lot of pounds. Even if it belongs to you, how do you plan to eat it? You can't eat it if you hold it down."
"I can't make candied dates if I can't eat them?" Wen Xu said.
Shi Shangzhen said: "How can you do this?"
"I underestimate me, right? I told you that I not only know how to make candied dates, but I have more things to do. You and I follow me are your blessing!" Wen Xu said proudly.
After hearing this, Shi Shangzhen smiled and replied to Wen Xu with a word: "Ph!"
"I think you can do one, it's almost the same if you can brag! It's so amazing to be able to make a candied date. Are you talking about another skill that you haven't shown yet?" Shi Shangzhen said.
Wen Xu thought for a while and felt that he really didn't think he could have any skills, but he was about to cover up this matter, but he found that he knew something: "I'm also making wine, not only that, but I'm going to do it right away!"
At this time, Wen Xu remembered that he had planted a lot of grapes on the hillside. If Shi Shangzhen hadn't shown it, Wen Xu would have almost forgot about this matter. Thinking of this, Wen Xu decided to take some time tomorrow to see what the grapes were like.
He brought the snake meat back to the kitchen, turned on the fire, put oil in the pot, threw the snake meat into the pot, fryed it until the snake meat changed color, took out the drained oil, put it on the operating table, and kept it for a while.
I went to the greenhouse to get some vegetables and came back. Wen Xu saw that Teacher Ma had already come.
"Eat snake meat tonight?" Teacher Ma asked with a smile.
"Well, it's a coincidence. This thing bit Shi Shangzhen so hard," Wen Xu said.
"You can't see such a big snake?" Teacher Ma saw the snake joke and knew that the snake should be almost as big as it should be, so he asked Shi Shangzhen in surprise.
Shi Shangzhen was not in the mood to see the road at that time. His eyes fell on Wen Xu's body. He was afraid that he would catch him, so his little face turned slightly red: "I didn't pay attention, the grass is too high."
"No wonder!" Teacher Ma asked casually, just chatting.
"By the way, when will Mr. Chi come back?" Shi Shangzhen changed the subject.
Teacher Ma said: "Tomorrow, it will be either in the morning or in the afternoon. There is nothing wrong with him. Old Man Jia has made trouble and what should be troubled, and there is nothing left to worry about."
"I heard that the old man mentioned the protection area. Is there any progress in this matter?" Wen Xu asked.
"It was Lao Jia, but what's the use of his mention? Some people oppose it in school, let alone discussing it. Not to mention discussing it, it's a problem if you can attend the meeting, let alone attending the meeting, and it's just a video now, no one has seen it."
Obviously, Teacher Ma is not optimistic about Mr. Jia’s proposal, at least he is not optimistic about it now.
