Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Chapter 349 Roasted Snake Meat

A few people were chatting when Xiao Sanzi came.

"Hurry, hurry, Zhao Zhao, look what I brought you."

The smug little Sanzi was so proud that if you didn’t know him, you would think he had picked up gold bars on the street!

"What? What good things can you have? If you don't pinch your stomach and come here to eat and drink for free, I'll be very lucky!"

Han Zhaozhao didn't take it seriously. Whenever this kid came, he would always complain of being hungry, as if his mother had starved him for three days. If you didn't know, you would think his mother was a stepmother who abused him.

Wu Ni and Niu Xiaoyun's eyes lit up and their expectations were high.

"What is it? Take it out and let me see it!"

"Qian Xiaosan, you only have eyes for Han Zhaozhao, right? I am not worthy of your attention?

What good things do you have that you are so excited to come to Zhao Zhao to present them?"

Her sarcasm had no effect on Xiao Sanzi, he was used to it. According to him, Niu Xiaoyun could not speak properly and what came out of her mouth were knives.

But he had already trained himself to be strong and immune to Niu Xiaoyun's mouth!

He opened his shirt, took out a long black thing from his arms, and slammed it on the table with a trembling look.

"Come, have a taste of roasted dragon meat! Don't accuse me of being disloyal. I'll save some good food for you!

I caught this and roasted it myself, with chili powder added, it's so fragrant! I couldn't bear to eat a single bite, I saved it all for you!"

Han Zhaozhao took a closer look and said, "Wow, it's really a snake! And it's intact!"

"Of course. Didn't I tell you? I saved this for you."

Niu Xiaoyun didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed it and broke off a piece. Then she took a bite. "Hmm, it's really fragrant and spicy. It's delicious! But it's a little cold. It would be better if it was freshly baked!"

Wu Ni also quickly climbed onto the table and stretched out her little hand to grab the remaining piece of roasted snake meat, "I want to eat it too! I want to eat it too!"

Han Zhaozhao acted as fast as lightning. He grabbed the piece in his hand, looked at the broken piece, confirmed that it was cooked, and threw it back on the table.

She said that Xiao Sanzi’s cooking skills were not worth expecting at all. It was cooked, but overcooked!

Others' meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but the snake meat he roasted is charcoal-like on the outside and crispy on the inside.

"It's well-baked, cooked, and ready to eat! I won't eat it anymore, you guys can share it!"

"You really don't want to eat it? Then we will really share it and won't leave any for you. Grandma Han, would you like to try it too?"

The old lady smiled and shook her head. She would never argue with a bunch of children!

Wu Ni doesn’t mind if it’s bad, as long as it’s edible!

A meter-long roasted snake meat was shared among three people, each holding a piece and chewing it.

He chewed with a "crunch, crunch" sound, and then grinned after finishing. His three black mouths with snow-white teeth made the old lady and Han Zhaozhao laugh.

"Hurry, the three of you should rinse your mouths quickly, or you might scare people when you go out!"

After the three naughty kids rinsed their mouths, they looked back and concluded, "It smells good, but it's a little fuzzy.

If the fire is lower, it will definitely taste better! ”

"Yes, it would be perfect with more salt, it's a little bland! I remember bringing a salt packet, but when I needed it I couldn't find it, so my mom must have found it for me."

Niu Xiaoyun ate the meat but still felt unsatisfied. "Snakes are hard to find at this time. Xiao Sanzi, you are really capable. Where did you find them?

If you go again tomorrow, don't forget to call me along. I want to go with you, too. Let alone finding snakes, if we can find a mouse nest, it will be enough for us to have a meal."

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't Zhao Zhao tell you that mice can't be eaten because they carry germs.

Unless we go to the countryside to catch voles, we don't have enough time after school to run that far.

I found a good place. I'll take you there after school tomorrow. We'll definitely be able to catch a snake.

When we bring it back, we won’t roast it, we’ll stew it with some potatoes and cabbage, it should be enough for a meal.”

"I'm going too, I'm going too!"

Wu Ni jumped up and down, she was very active.

Han Zhaozhao continued to sew the soles of shoes, she didn't want to get involved.

In this weather, there aren't that many snakes for them to catch. Most of them have already hibernated in holes. It was pure luck that Xiao Sanzi caught the only one that escaped!

The next day, at just three o'clock, Wu Ni couldn't sit still. She groaned and peed and pooped, and she just couldn't concentrate on studying.

Xiao Liang was fooled by her and was ready to make a move. He was sitting in the room, but his soul had already flown away.

Han Zhaozhao was also annoyed and waved her hand, "get out of class dismissed!"

She came to terms with it and realized that it was children’s nature to be active!

It was her fault for asking them to sit for half a day like she did. If they wanted to go out and play, she could let them go. Anyway, Xiao Sanzi and Niu Xiaoyun were with them, so she could rest assured!

But she didn't participate. She was interested in trapping rabbits and hunting pheasants in the mountains, but she wouldn't go digging holes and catching snakes, which would get her covered in mud!

After school, the third child Niu Xiaoyun really came to call Wu Ni.

Taking the small basket and iron clamps used to catch mice last year from Han's house, the children ran out of the alley in the blink of an eye and headed for the ruins in the north of the city.

It is said that there are many old houses destroyed in the war in the urban-rural fringe area in the north of the city, among which there are many abandoned wells and cellars. It is not known whether the original residents used them to hide people or things.

There are fewer and fewer residents there now, and they have all moved to the city center or near large factories. The place is very desolate.

In recent years, strange and terrifying noises have been heard at night, and several robberies and murders have occurred. Usually, almost no one goes there.

But no matter how scary it is, it can't stop the naughty kids. In this era, there are many dual-income families in the city. The adults go to work, and there are many children at home, so they don't have much energy to take care of the children.

Almost every family's children were raised in a free-range manner. In a large compound, the older children would take the younger ones with them, and once they went out, they would form a large group, and all of them were very wild.

I played like crazy and didn't go home until dinner time. Sometimes, I couldn't find anyone even when dinner time came.

Every time when it’s time for dinner, you can hear old mothers calling their children to come home for dinner. This is also a feature of this era.

The snake that Xiao Sanzi caught was the one he and his friends caught in an abandoned cellar in an old house in the north of the city.

Han Zhaozhao admired him very much. He was really naughty. There is an old saying that goes "Seven or eight-year-olds are hated by dogs, and nine or ten-year-olds are hated by everyone."

The kid is already twelve years old this year, but he is not as naughty as before. Instead, he has become even more reckless. He can destroy toilets, blow up cow dung, and dig out rat holes. There is nothing he dares not to do.

Children of this age are full of energy and curiosity, and often do things that make adults laugh and cry.

Xiaoliang and Wu Ni followed Xiao Sanzi out to have fun, and Han Zhaozhao felt relieved.

Lock the door and go into the space to cook.

She had almost finished eating all the dishes that were prepared in advance. If I didn’t make some preparations, she would not be able to sneak some in.

This time, she would have to make something lighter.

People these days have noses that are almost as big as the police’s. You won’t dare go out if you eat anything meaty.

As soon as you open your mouth, others can guess what you eat with great accuracy.
