Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

The first taste was the tender texture of the lamb, which was stewed to perfection.

It maintains a certain chewiness, yet easily falls apart under slight pressure from the teeth. The deliciousness of the mutton spreads across the tip of the tongue, and its original mutton smell has been cleverly neutralized, leaving only the rich and mellow meat aroma.

If you taste it carefully, you can detect the sweetness of chestnuts hidden in it. The sweetness is not strong and straightforward, but flows slowly like a trickle, adding a unique freshness and softness to the mellowness of the lamb.

The flavors of the spices are also perfectly integrated, giving the whole dish a richer layer and depth, and the various flavors echo each other.

Try another chestnut. After stewing, the chestnut becomes soft and delicate, melting in your mouth.

The unique sweetness blooms instantly in the mouth, while absorbing the deliciousness of mutton and the charm of spices. It is sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not vulgar, and complements the mutton perfectly.

The combination of the two is a match made in heaven. The richness of the lamb is softened by the sweetness of the chestnuts, while the sweetness of the chestnuts is further deepened by the freshness of the lamb.

As Cheng Jingzhu thought about it, he slowed down his chewing and savored the taste of the mutton in his mouth.

"It's delicious! It doesn't have any strange taste at all, but I can't really tell the specific difference in taste. I just know it's delicious."

After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Jingzhu still couldn't explain the reason and hung his head in dejection.

"Hahaha, it's okay. When it comes to eating, the focus is on eating, not on judging. As long as you like it, it's fine."

Cheng Yuntao smiled and touched Cheng Jingzhu's head, then turned around and invited everyone to come and eat.

Just as everyone was enjoying the meal, Cheng Yueli suddenly widened her eyes, stretched out her hand tremblingly, gestured to the open space not far away, and stammered.

"Sister... there's a snake behind me!"

"It... was crawling slowly on the ground... and now it's curled up in a ball... and it's not moving."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, especially Cheng Yuntao, whose body stiffened and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

What she hated most was this wriggling, strip-like creature. It crawled so fast that it could scare people away.

From the expressions of the other people, Cheng Yuntao knew very clearly that this was no joke, there really was a snake in the cave!

Come to think of it, now that the weather is getting colder, many animals in the mountains have begun to hibernate, especially the snake.

The temperature in their cave is high and the area is spacious, which indeed easily attracts some "small animals".

Although Cheng Yuntao had made a bamboo screen door early on to block the inside and outside of the cave, the snake's body was slender and it could squeeze in through any gap.

If a small furry creature came today, Cheng Yuntao might be able to take it in and keep it for the winter.

But what came was a snake, and it might even be a poisonous snake. If you get bitten by it, your life will be in danger.

In this valley, by the time the person is sent to the clinic at the foot of the mountain, the body will probably be stiff.

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Cheng Yuntao's expression suddenly became serious, and he spoke in a soft voice to comfort her.

"Everyone, please don't panic, stay calm, and avoid screaming or making sudden, large movements to avoid irritating the snake and causing it to attack."

"Snakes move very fast. If it were to chase us, we wouldn't be able to outrun it."

Cheng Yueli nodded obediently, stretched out her little hand to cover her mouth, and controlled the urge to scream.

After everyone's emotions calmed down a little, Cheng Yuntao slowly turned around and looked at the ground.

A touch of emerald green came into view. It turned out to be a bamboo green snake. Its entire body was emerald green, the color was bright and evenly distributed.

There is a white vertical line on each side of the body, the lines are clear and straight, the head is obviously triangular, with sharp edges and corners, the eyes are red, the eye sockets are deep, and the eyes reveal coldness and alertness.

At this time, the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake's movements were much slower than usual due to the cold winter weather, but the dangerous aura it exuded had not diminished in the slightest.

Its slender body coiled on the ground, its emerald green scales shone with a cold luster in the dim light, and only its pair of blood-red eyes stared at Cheng Yuntao.

A low "hissing" sound came out of his mouth from time to time, which made people's backs chill.

Cheng Yuntao was shocked, knowing that although the bamboo leaf green snake moved slowly, it was still extremely poisonous and that one would die in the snake's mouth if not careful.

Her eyes wandered around the cave and finally landed on a thin bamboo stick.

"Everyone, listen to me. Now slowly stand up and step back to create some distance between you and this venomous snake. Leave the rest to me. I will deal with it."

Even though Cheng Yuntao was very scared, someone had to step forward and drive away the poisonous snake.

The others also realized that they could not help much, so they moved back cooperatively to keep the scene quiet.

Cheng Yuntao walked slowly forward, holding the cold bamboo stick tightly in his hand.

Just as she turned around, the bamboo leaf green snake took the lead in attacking. It raised its flat head slightly, and its body slowly slid towards Cheng Yuntao like a stiff but still intimidating green shadow.

"Sister, be careful!" Cheng Jingzhu and Cheng Yueli reminded in a low voice in unison.

Cheng Yuntao took a deep breath and stared closely at the movements of the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake. When it approached, she suddenly dodged to the side.

The bamboo leaf green snake missed its attack, then quickly twisted its body and attacked again with its fangs and claws bared. Cheng Yuntao seized the opportunity, swung the long bamboo stick with both hands, and hit the snake hard.

The bamboo stick fell with a whistling sound and hit the snake's body with a "snap". The bamboo leaf green snake was knocked off its direction, but its scales were hard and the blow did not cause serious injuries to it.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Cheng Yuntao's forehead, and her eyes were fixed on the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake in front of her, not daring to relax even a little.

The bamboo leaf green snake seemed to be completely enraged. Regardless of its physical inconvenience, it increased its speed, arched its body high, and then bit Cheng Yuntao's leg like an arrow.

Cheng Yuntao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He thrust the long bamboo stick vertically into the ground with force. The snake's mouth just happened to bite the bamboo stick, making a "crunch" sound.

She took the opportunity to jump back and create some distance between herself and the bamboo leaf green snake.

The bamboo leaf green snake coiled on the ground, trying to find Cheng Yuntao's weakness.

Cheng Yuntao knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death, so he gripped the bamboo stick tightly with both hands and rushed towards the bamboo leaf green snake.

The moment she approached the snake, she raised the bamboo stick high and used all her strength to poke it hard at the vital point of the bamboo leaf green snake.

The tip of the bamboo stick pressed directly against the vital part of the snake's body. The bamboo green snake twisted wildly, and its tail lashed violently on the ground, splashing dust and gravel.

Cheng Yuntao gritted her teeth and held the bamboo stick tightly, not letting it loose at all.
