Siheyuan: Rebirth of Shazhu, Many Children and Blessings

"..."

He Yuzhu stood in front of Jia Dongxu and looked down at him.

This guy was sleeping very soundly. He stood for a long time but showed no signs of waking up.

He Yuzhu smiled silently. It was really wrong for him to compete with such a person.

He Yuzhu stepped over Jia Dongxu and went directly to Pigeon City.

It’s getting late now and I don’t know what’s left.

Sure enough, when He Yuzhu entered the Pigeon Market, he found that many vendors had closed their stalls, making the place seem a bit empty.

The stalls where many people usually sell eggs, live chickens and ducks have almost all been closed at this time.

There were still some items left that had not been sold, so He Yuzhu went forward to take a look and ask some questions.

Either the quality is not good enough, or the price is too high.

Although He Yuzhu is not short of money, he is not a sucker and is unwilling to spend extra money to buy meat of not very good quality.

The aunt selling chickens looked at He Yuzhu and asked, then turned and left, feeling a little anxious for a moment.

She had been at the pigeon market for such a long time today but had not sold any pigeons yet. In fact, she was a little panicked.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the aunt didn't want to take the chicken back anymore, so she gritted her teeth and decided to sell it to He Yuzhu at a lower price.

Seeing that the aunt had relented, He Yuzhu did not refuse and put the old hen in his pocket.

Apart from this chicken, He Yuzhu didn't gain anything on the journey.

Until I came to a corner and found a place selling mountain products.

There was a sign on the stall saying they were selling snakes.

He looked towards the stall and saw that the entire stall was covered with a black cloth, and from time to time he could hear the hissing sounds of snakes.

Perhaps because the things he sells are so scary, there are basically no adjacent stalls around.

If He Yuzhu hadn't gained anything today, he probably wouldn't have come to such a remote place.

"Brother, is this long worm poisonous or not?"

"We have both. Which one do you want?" The elder brother raised his eyelids and glanced at He Yuzhu, then said, "But they have all been processed, so there's no need to worry about them biting people."

"how?"

"More than ten, how many do you want?"

"I want them all."

"All?" This time it was the eldest brother's turn to be surprised, but he was happy.

After being surprised for a moment, he smiled and said to He Yuzhu: "Since you want them all, I'll give you a cheaper price."

"Okay." He Yuzhu did not refuse, and then said to his elder brother: "Brother, give me the cage and the black cloth."

"You want it alive?" The eldest brother looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Can you handle it?"

"Yes." He Yuzhu nodded with a smile.

"Okay." The eldest brother thought that since the snake's fangs had been pulled out, it didn't matter if he didn't kill it.

So the two of them happily exchanged money and received the goods.

I originally thought that I wouldn't gain anything today, but I didn't expect that I would get something good unexpectedly today.

He Yuzhu found a place to put the snakes in the cage into his personal space.

If he took this thing back like this, he was afraid that Lou Xiao'e would be scared.

After putting away the snake in the cage, He Yuzhu took the bicycle out of the space and went through the alley where Jia Dongxu was squatting.

When He Yuzhu saw that Jia Dongxu was still sleeping soundly, he made some noise when passing by.

He wanted to see why Jia Dongxu was following him today.

When he saw that Jia Dongxu showed signs of waking up, He Yuzhu deliberately slowed down his bicycle riding and then rode slowly past the entrance of the alley.

After that, he didn't care whether Jia Dongxu had discovered him or not and went straight home.

However, the next day, He Yuzhu waited all day but there was no movement from Jia Dongxu.

"What's going on?" He Yuzhu frowned. Could it be that Jia Dongxu, the bastard, still hasn't woken up from last time?

Since Jia Dongxu has not taken any action for the time being, He Yuzhu plans to try to hook him again in a few days to see if he will continue to follow him.

He Yuzhu checked the condition of these snakes in his personal space.

I found that these snakes were basically edible, so I took three snakes to the canteen kitchen.

When Director Li asked He Yuzhu to cook tonight, He Yuzhu asked him to ask his leader if he wanted to eat game.

Anyway, the canteen has a dedicated buyer, so it’s the same as long as you buy from him.

"Director Li, you just need to tell your leader that this dish is called Chrysanthemum and Three Snakes Soup." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

This is an authentic Cantonese dish made from the meat of three kinds of snakes: cobra, bungarus and banyan snake.

Director Li became excited just by hearing the name.

This kind of game is usually hard to come by, and most importantly, there is a lack of chefs like He Yuzhu to prepare it.

So he quickly reported to Deputy Director Li, and after getting his approval, he hurried to the canteen kitchen to ask He Yuzhu to prepare early.

"Sister Lan, you have to stay today."

"Where did you get so many snakes?" Liu Lan was not afraid of snakes. She looked at the snakes in the cage without changing her expression.

"I came across it by chance in Pigeon City." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "I will stew more later. You can bring some back for Ziyi and Ziheng to try. It's good for nutrition."

"Okay." Liu Lan nodded with a smile.

This thing is really rare to come across. Now that He Yuzhu is finally planning to stew it, she also wants to try it.

Because it is a Cantonese dish that takes a very long time to prepare, while others were preparing lunch for the workers, He Yuzhu started to process the snake meat by himself.

Xiao Ding's main job as a helper is to process meat, so he came over to ask He Yuzhu if he needed help.

"Xiao Ding, can you handle snakes?" He Yuzhu looked at him and asked.

However, Xiao Ding shook his head. He usually dealt with pigs, cattle and sheep, but had never dealt with snakes.

"Then you just watch from the sidelines."

For these helpers, letting them observe can also help them broaden their horizons.

After killing the snakes, remove the venom glands, gallbladders, internal organs, etc., then peel them, boil them in scallion and ginger water for a while, and then use pork bones and old hens to make soup.

After about an hour, the snake meat is taken out, deboned and shredded.

After all the snake meat is shredded, boil it for another five hours before eating.

Then add yellow and white chrysanthemum petals before serving.

It is the time when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, so He Yuzhu thought of making this dish.

"It smells so good and looks so good." Liu Lan felt very hungry just by smelling the aroma.

"Try it." He Yuzhu served Liu Lan a bowl, then packed their lunch boxes before serving the dish on the table.

"I've heard of this dish for a long time, but I've never eaten it before." Deputy Director Li looked at He Yuzhu and said with a smile: "Master He, today is really thanks to you."
