Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

"I didn't expect that the snake soup tastes so good." Deng Changyuan couldn't help but admired the dragon and phoenix soup, which was clear and reddish in color.

Deng Yuntai also praised: "The soup made from chicken and snake is really delicious. Azhen Azhu, you can really try it. It tastes very good."

Sisters Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu looked at each other with hesitant expressions. No matter what age women are, except for a few, most women will feel scared and disgusted when they see snakes. The two sisters can easily accept bee pupae, but for women She Tang was really feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, seeing that her father and brothers were drinking with gusto, Deng Yunzhen mustered up the courage and said, "Okay, then I'll take a few sips of the soup and try it."

With that said, Deng Yunzhen picked up the spoon and scooped half a spoonful of snake soup into the bowl.

Deng Yunzhu was not in a hurry to serve the soup, but decided to see if her sister could drink it.

As for Zhang Xiuping, she also looked at her sister-in-law curiously. As a woman, she also felt disgusted with this stuff. Naturally, she also wanted to see if her sister-in-law could drink it and what her opinion was of this snake soup.

In her opinion, men's evaluations have no reference value. After all, there is nothing they dare not eat.

Snakes, rats, cats, cicada monkeys, chinch bugs, anguilla larvae, etc., they can all eat them with gusto.

Needless to say, everyone knows about snakes, rats, cats and cicadas.

The spicy butt bug is the most common local bug, as shown below:

This insect is most abundant when lychee and longan trees are in bloom. They will suck the young shoots, flower spikes, and young juices of lychees and longan trees. The affected parts will turn brown, causing flower and fruit drop, and affecting the yield of lychee and longan trees.

It flies and urinates when disturbed, causing a slight burning sensation on your hands, and its skin turns yellow and is difficult to clean.

This kind of bugs is the favorite of local children to catch and play with, because they can be made into a simple toy and allowed to fly around in circles. In an era when such entertainment is lacking, they are one of the few things that children can play with. One of the toys.

This thing is used for frying and it tastes pretty good.

As for the larvae of Bougainvillea, as shown below:

This kind of insect grows in a local plant called Agu, which is very famous, as shown below:

Its leaves are only three or four fingers wide but more than one meter long. The leaves have thorns on both sides. Local people use these leaves to make rice dumplings.

This kind of larvae is used to fry shrimps. It is said to be extremely delicious (all the friends from the same village as the author have eaten it, and they all praised it. It is strange to say that the author even dared to eat mice when he was a child, but he did not dare to eat this stuff), and this stuff is not only delicious, it can also be used to treat bedwetting in children, and the effect is quite good.

Under the gaze of everyone, Deng Yunzhen picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup.

When I took the soup into my mouth, I found that it tasted really good, but I didn't know if it had a psychological effect. I always felt unwell.

Deng Yunzhu asked: "Sister, how does it taste?"

Deng Yunzhen answered truthfully: "It tastes good and is a very delicious soup. You can try it."

Deng Shirong saw his eldest daughter's behavior and knew that she had a psychological barrier to snake soup. He couldn't help but said: "You guys, if you want to have a good taste, you have to work hard to overcome the psychological barrier. There is a jingle outside that goes like this: Eat shrimps in the south, eat shrimp in the north. Eat crabs, Guangdong and Guangxi eat nature.

Is there anything that we Guangxi people don’t dare to eat?

If you don't even dare to drink snake soup, wouldn't it be a joke if you go out and come into contact with the outside world? "

Hearing what her father said, Deng Yunzhen became worried and drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp. Then she picked up the spoon and scooped out a full bowl for herself. She even put in a few pieces of snake meat and said: "Dad, you're right, it's just snake meat and snake soup. There's nothing you wouldn't dare to eat."

Seeing this, Deng Yunzhu followed the same example and scooped a bowl for herself. After taking a bite and finding that it tasted really good, she and the other brothers ate it with relish.

Seeing that the two sisters-in-law resisted from the beginning and now eat snake meat and drink snake soup with relish, Zhang Xiuping also wanted to try it. However, she was pregnant now. Her father-in-law had told her before that she didn't know that pregnant women should drink snake meat. Is this soup good? Let her not drink it for the time being. When the child is born, she can make arrangements to drink Dragon Phoenix Soup at any time.

A pot of dragon and phoenix soup was wiped out in a matter of seconds.

Deng Changyuan wiped his mouth and said: "Mr. Jiu, I will tell the young people in the village later that if anyone catches a snake or beats it to death, he will send it to you, so that they will not waste such delicious food in vain." thing."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "I don't want it if it's too small. If it weighs more than half a catty, then send it to me."

Deng Changyuan nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell them."

Deng Shirong asked: "Ah Yuan, how are you learning the big tank technique?"

Deng Changyuan chuckled and said: "Jiu Gong, Artest said that I have made rapid progress during this period, but there are still a few key technical nodes that I have not yet mastered. Once I understand those few technical nodes, I guess I can I made a qualified big tank on my own.”

Deng Shirong said: "Then study hard. You will get married soon, and you will need to support your wife and children. Although your current salary is better than that of most people in the village, you still have to live a better life. Just become a vat master.”

Deng Changyuan nodded and said: "Now that I know Jiu Gong, I will work hard to learn the big tank technology as soon as possible."

Zhang Xiuping answered and asked: "Ayuan, I told you before that you asked someone to build a wardrobe. Is this wardrobe ready?"

Deng Changyuan said: "We are already building it. We must finish it before getting married."

Zhang Xiuping said: "If you are single, it doesn't matter if you have this wardrobe or not, but if you are married and have a wife, it would be too shameful if your clothes have to be hung on bamboo poles in the house. Although my little sister didn't mention this. Requirements, but as a man, you must also consider your wife.”

Deng Changyuan said: "I understand. When I get better, I will build her a dressing table."

Zhang Xiuping said with a smile: "The dressing table can be slower. It is true to buy a bicycle first when you have money. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to go back to your parents' home."

Deng Yuntai also agreed and said: "Ayuan, this really needs to be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise Poxin Village is so far away from our Naye Village, and it will be really difficult for your daughter-in-law to return to her parents' home once she gets married. "

Hearing this, Deng Changyuan also felt that it was very reasonable. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. Let's see how much money I have left after I get married. If I have enough money, I will buy it immediately. If I don't have enough money, I will have to wait until I become a vat master to earn it." Money to buy again.”
