Chapter 203 Two or three catties of full moon eel
Thank you very much for the reward from "Ke'er Dad", thank you! Your support is my biggest motivation, and I will definitely continue to work hard!
For two days, the snakes were entangled tightly. Liu Chen looked at them for a long time and saw that the two snakes had no intention of letting go of each other.
Liu Chen found a branch and tried to see if he could separate the two snakes, but after several attempts, there was still no intention to separate them.
Okay, Liu Chen thought to himself, since his delicious food has arrived, he will just take the two and put them away as ordered, just in time to go home and make snake meat soup.
Liu Chen went up and pinched seven inches of one of the snakes, and put it in a snakeskin bag. After the other snake saw Liu Chen taking away his opponent, he also took the opportunity to escape. How could Liu Chen let him escape?
He stepped forward, grabbed the seven inches again, put it in a snakeskin bag, tied it to the handlebar of the motorcycle, and walked home.
There happened to be a bamboo chicken at home, and I was worried that there was no more snake meat. It was a very coincidence that I fell asleep on the pillow. It happened to be that when Zhang Xiaodong and his family came to get engaged, they could make a "dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness" soup.
No, Zhang Xiaodong really likes it.
Liu Chen arrived home soon. Youdi and Wang Mudan had not returned from work. The eldest sister's niece Li Xiaohua, the second sister's niece Zhang Xiaoli, and the third sister's Wu Yiyi were listening to the radio at home and saw their uncle coming back.
He quickly went up to greet him.
Liu Chen unloaded the things collected from Li Maogang's house into the car, poured them out, and packed them into categories. Tiger whips and deer whips will be taken to his home in the county and made into tiger whips according to the method taught by Kong Yunxiang.
Whip wine and deer whip wine are good things. By 2022, they will be a big income.
After everything was sorted, Liu Chen began to deal with the two cauliflower snakes he had just caught. Wu Yiyi and Zhang Xiaoli were not afraid, and directly watched Liu Chen deal with snake skins, snake meat, etc.
Soon, Liu Chen finished processing the two cauliflower snakes. Since he wasn't going to eat them for a while, he wanted to dry them first and then eat them when Zhang Xiaodong and the others arrived.
Everyone went to work, so the responsibility for cooking naturally fell on Liu Chen.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had scallion pancakes, and I’m not very busy today, so let’s make one.
Knead the dough, roll out the dough, cut the onions, and soon, a plate of thick noodle pancakes with green onions is ready. Li Xiaohua helps her uncle cook the pot, and several people work together, and soon, three pots of thick noodle pancakes are ready.
.
"Uncle, this smells so good." Wu Yiyi and Zhang Xiaoli lay beside the eucalyptus board and smelled it.
Liu Chen each took a piece and said with a smile: "Come on, let's each eat a piece first. This is delicious while it's hot. We'll add a few more pots later and wait for grandma and grandpa to come back to eat."
Several people each took a piece and ate it, not to mention it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, salty and delicious, not to mention how delicious it was.
Because the sisters were due to deliver loaches and eels later, these few pots were still not enough, so Liu Chen made a few more pots. Within an hour or two, Liu Chen made seven or eight pots. His head was full of heat.
It's sweat. This should be enough to eat.
Liu Chen cooked some more rice porridge and ate pancakes with the porridge. It was pretty good.
Liu Chen remembered that this scallion pancake must have something delicious, and that is Chili Lake. It would be a perfect match with this.
Liu Chen asked Li Xiaohua to take his two sisters to the backyard vegetable garden to pick some red peppers, green peppers and a tomato.
Liu Chen took out some peanuts, crushed them, and chopped two kinds of peppers.
Li Xiaohua heated up the pot and heated the oil. When the oil was hot, Liu Chen added all the ingredients to the pot and stir-fried until they were almost cooked, then added mountain spring water and boiled.
After boiling, Liu Chen added the stirred noodle lake and poured it into the boiling water. Then he stirred constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot. He stirred until the noodle lake was cooked and then it was ready to be taken out of the pot.
Liu Chen took a piece of dough pancake, smeared it with chili pepper and took a bite. The taste was extremely fragrant.
Soon, Liu Jiefang, Wang Mudan and Youdi returned from work.
From a distance, I could smell the aroma wafting from my yard. Several members who hadn't arrived home kept cursing when they smelled the aroma of scallion pancakes. Only Liu Chen could prepare the meal so early and do it well.
So fragrant.
Seeing Liu Jiefang and others coming back, Wu Yiyi and the others stepped forward to greet them and said with a smile: "Grandma, grandpa, aunt, hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Uncle is making delicious scallion pancakes and pepper lake."
As soon as she heard the scallion pancake, Youdi opened her eyes wide. She was hungry at work and there will be something delicious when she comes back. She hurriedly washed her hands, ran to the kitchen, took a piece of dough pancake, smeared it with chili pepper, and bit into it.
Taking a bite, he said while eating: "It's so fragrant and delicious."
"That's necessary. We've been working on it for several hours."
Liu Chen said with his mouth shut, there is no way, there are many people in the family, and everyone can eat, this little bit will definitely not be enough to eat, Liu Chen has made seven or eight pots. This should be enough to eat.
At this time, I saw a group of people coming from outside. From a distance, Wu Yiyi saw his parents, brother, aunt, and uncle coming.
Just in time, people are here. It will be fine if everyone is here. We can eat right away.
Although Liu Chen also ate two pieces just now, the two pieces were only enough to stuff between his teeth and he didn't feel full at all.
Soon, the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister and their whole family came. Several nephews ran to the front, their bodies and faces covered with mud. Several brothers-in-law jumped with buckets, and several sisters carried buckets. Everyone smiled when they saw it.
’s face, it seems that I have gained a lot today.
"Uncle, we are here, look what we caught today?"
I saw Zhang Xiaobing and Zhang Xiaojun from my second sister's house carrying a wooden bucket. Inside the bucket was a strange, bright red fish that was as thick as a child's wrist and weighed about two or three pounds. Apart from the color, everything else was exactly the same as an ordinary eel.
Liu Jiefang walked forward to take a look and said that this was a very special eel. Its name was the Moon Eel. Normally, one would not appear for hundreds of years. He said it was so special and spiritual. If the person who got it didn't treat it well.
, something will definitely happen.
In this age without much science, everyone was shocked when he heard this. Wang Mudan quickly poured the eel into the big basin. After all, the wooden barrel was too small, and the eel could stretch out in the big basin.
Wang Mudan brought some incense and candles, burned incense and worshiped the place, praying for the blessings of the gods.
Wang Mudan told everyone that although the shape of the moon-watching eel is similar to that of an ordinary eel, it is particularly spiritual. On the 16th day of every lunar calendar, it will come out of the hole and look at the moon. But this kind of eel is
It cannot be eaten because it is said to be highly poisonous. If caught and not treated well, something will happen to that person.
When Liu Chen looked at it, he thought of a piece of news he saw when he was looking at his mobile phone some time ago. The eel mentioned above seemed to be like this. This one is not as scary as Wang Mudan said. This is a blood eel. It's just the color of the eel.
The reason for the deep red color is not only related to the environment in which it grows, but also related to its own genetic mutations.
In fact, this is because this kind of eel has adapted to the local wild environment. At the same time, it may have been stimulated by the external environment during its growth, resulting in a genetic mutation, which turned its whole body into bright red.
Liu Chen took a look and saw that this blood eel was indeed not small. Normal eels were two to three taels, or five to six taels, but this one actually weighed two to three kilograms. This was indeed not small.
Liu Chen is now explaining the blood eel to everyone, but he won’t be able to explain it for a while. After all, everyone’s knowledge is still limited.
But Liu Chen told everyone that this moon eel is very good. As long as you catch it and raise it well, it will bring blessings to the family. I decided to prepare to raise it well. I hope our family
From now on, "good luck will come".
After Liu Chen finished speaking, Liu Jiefang and Wang Mudan were very happy. After all, Liu Chen was now the director of the health center, so his level of knowledge was there.
Anyway, Liu Chen can just dig a mud cellar later to store the moon-watching eel. After all, he still has a giant eel at home. It doesn't matter if he keeps one more.
Liu Jiefang weighed all the eels caught by his daughter and son-in-law. Not to mention, there were quite a few caught.
Liu Jiefang took out the bill and did the calculations. Not to mention, during this period, each of these girls sold their homes for nearly a hundred yuan. This is comparable to the income of a year of working, and some even have no income for a year.
So much income.
Anyway, now Liu Chen has given the money to Liu Jiefang and asked him to distribute money to everyone, so he can feel more relaxed.
Each of the girls took another ten yuan, some with five or six yuan, and they were all smiling from ear to ear. It will be August 15th, and it will be a good year.
Everyone washed their hands and came to eat. Liu Chen put the scallion pancakes and chili pancakes he made on the eucalyptus board. Everyone ate one piece at a time.
Liu Chen asked everyone again if they had planted all the vegetable seeds he brought. The sisters now obey Liu Chen's instructions and have completed all the tasks he handed over.
Although the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law are still a little worried about whether they can finish eating so much cabbage, they still listen to Liu Chen's advice. He feels that this little brother is different from others, as long as he can earn whatever he says
If you have money, you will definitely be able to make money.
Liu Chen said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about anything. If I ask you to plant it, you can plant it boldly. When the time comes, I will be here, so you can rest assured."
With Liu Chen's guarantee, everyone's confidence became even stronger. They all felt that Liu Chen was the savior of their family and the best gift God had given them.
Liu Chen changed the subject again, saying that Zhang Xiaodong would come to propose marriage in a few days, and asked Youdi to be prepared. Then Wang Mudan would take Youdi to make some new clothes and dress them up beautifully.
Everyone looked at Youdi. Youdi lowered her head and smiled sheepishly, her face turning red.
Liu Chen took out some cloth tickets, put them on the eucalyptus board, and said with a smile: "These tickets are enough for each of you to make a new set of clothes. You divide them, and each of you makes a new set of clothes."
Everyone looked at the cloth stamps on the eucalyptus board and their eyes widened. My little brother actually had so many cloth stamps. Oh my God, in this era, just having money is not enough. You must have cloth stamps. This will be good.
No need to worry about new clothes.
"Uncle, I also want to make new clothes."
"I want it too."
"Okay, everyone will make one set, and the adults and children will make a new set."
Chapter completed!
