Chapter 500 A bag of mice
After a while, Xiong Da brought some food from the kitchen.
The food was very simple, a chopped marinated chicken, a basket of cooked potatoes, and two crispy cucumbers, all fresh vegetables that just shipped back from the city today. In addition, there is a bucket of homemade rice wine.
White rice and noodles are rarely eaten in this place. Their staple food is potatoes and sweet potatoes. Because potatoes and sweet potatoes can fill their stomachs, we don’t have so many requirements. We eat whatever the owner cooks. I also know that just a few simple side dishes are a good supper here.
Xiong Da rubbed his hands and smiled apologetically at us: "Sorry, what we eat here is a little simpler, let's make do with it!"
"Brother Xiong, you have to be polite. It's already very good with wine, food, and meat!" I said to Xiong.
"That's it! The dishes don't matter, just drink, haha!" Lei Zi licked his dry lips. For Lei Zi, wine is his life. As long as he drinks wine, he will be happy even if he puts a few peanuts in wine.
Xiong Da unscrewed the plug and poured a bowl of rice wine for us. The wine was very clear and just smelled, there was a faint sweet smell.
Xiong Da said: "This wine is brewed with snow mountain water. It is sweet in the mouth and very cool. I personally think the taste is very good. Do you want to try it?"
Speaking of drinking, Lei Zi was the first to pick up the wine bowl, rumbled, and poured a whole bowl of rice wine into his stomach. His tongue smacked and smeared the water stains on the corner of his mouth with his cuffs: "Good wine! Hahaha! It's so delicious! It's like drinking Sprite, bright and cool!"
I also picked up the wine bowl and drank half of it in one go. The taste of the mouth is really wonderful. Maybe it is because of the snow-capped water. The mouth is very cool, just like ice water. There is a sweet fragrance lingering on the tongue, which makes people feel endless. The most enjoyable thing is that when the mouth is passed through the throat and flows into the stomach, the pores in the whole body seem to stretch out suddenly, and an indescribable sense of pleasure spread throughout the body.
I couldn't help but tremble and shouted: "It's so good! It's so fucking good!"
"Try this pickled chicken. Our pickled chicken is the best in the village!" Xiong Er pushed the plate of pickled chicken in front of us and said with a little pride.
Xiong laughed: "My son is not exaggerating at all. Many of the pickled chickens in the village are asked for advice from me. When I was in the army, I once asked the squad leader of our kitchen team. Because the temperature in Kunlun Mountain is low, the kitchen team often makes pickled meat, pickled chicken and other marinated products. The squad leader of the kitchen team taught me some skills.
Our pickled chicken is a specially selected chicken that is no more than three pounds. After marinating, it is placed in a jar and then buried the jar under the snow. When it needs to be eaten, it will be dug out from the snow, boiled in snow water, and then taken out and eaten.
This is mainly due to two reasons. One is to be hidden under the snow. The meat is not easy to rot and can ensure taste and freshness, which is similar to the effect of a refrigerator. Another reason is to bury the meat underground to prevent the meat from being taken away by wild wolves and goshawks!"
"Hey, this chicken butt is mine!" Lei Zi happily reached out to grab it when he saw the chicken butt.
Chen Shiba was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he stretched out his chopsticks first, and grabbed the chicken's butt before Lei Zi: "The chicken's butt is mine!"
Leizi scolded: "Damn it! Give it back to me!"
Chen Shiba stuck out his tongue, and the tip of his tongue drew circles on the chicken's butt, with a lewd expression on his face: "Come on, come on, come on, eat!"
Lei Zi frowned: "Damn, it's so fucking vulgar!"
Chen Shiba grinned and said, "Hahaha, aren't you going to eat?"
Before Chen Shiba finished speaking, a more lewd smile appeared on the corner of Lei Zi's mouth: "But the more vulgar it is, the more I like it!"
While speaking, Lei Zi snatched the chicken's butt in Chen Shiba's hand, opened his bloody mouth, bit it on the chicken's butt in one bite, and sprayed the oily beads on Chen Shiba's face.
Chen Shiba looked at Lei Zi in a daze, looking confused. In terms of being inferior and shameless, he was still no match for Lei Zi.
Chen Shiba said in a twilight moment: "Damn it! You eat chicken butt, right? I eat chicken head!"
Chen Shiba searched in the basin for a long time: "Ye? Why don't there be no chicken head?"
Xiong Da said: "In our village, whatever kills chickens and sheep will be left behind and put them on the stone pile at the entrance of the village to worship the gods!"
"Hey, yes, what is the pocket game you just brought back?" Lei Zi bit the chicken's butt and was still obsessed with the game in his pocket.
Xiong Da smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, that bag of wild game... can't be eaten!"
"Can't eat it? Why can't you eat it?" Lei Zi asked strangely.
For the foodie Leizi, there seems to be nothing in this world that he doesn't think he can't eat.
"This..." Xiong Da was a little reluctant to speak but stopped.
Xiong Er stood up and pulled Leizi and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see it. After seeing it, you will know why you can't eat it!"
"Hey, it's a mystery! Let's go and see, I want to see if there is a pangolin or a bear's paw inside!" Lei Zi took a sip of wine and followed Xiong Er to the backyard.
Xiong Da explained to us: "Brothers, I'm not stingy. That bag of wild game is really not something we can eat, nor is it ours. It was brought to the village chief!"
"Mom--" Lei Zi's scream suddenly came from the backyard.
After a while, I saw Lei Zi walking back with his mouth covering his face, with a bad expression on his face.
Lei Zi sat down beside me, keeping her mouth open, looking like she wanted to retching, picked up the wine bowl and drank two large bowls, and then she swallowed the annoyance in her chest.
"What's wrong with you?" I looked at Lei Zi in confusion, not knowing what he saw when he went to the backyard.
Lei Zi waved his hand: "That thing is really not edible! Haha, it is really not edible!"
"What exactly is in the sack?" Lei Zi's strange performance made Ku Junwei curious.
Lei Zi picked up a cucumber and put it in his mouth. He bit it and made a crackling sound. Two words popped out from his teeth: "Rat!"
"What's the thing?!" We didn't hear it clearly.
Lei Zi swallowed the cucumber and said again: "Rat!"
"Rat?!" We looked at each other. The so-called "wild game" in the sack turned out to be a mouse?
Lei Zi stretched out his hands and gestured twice: "There are all rats in the linen bag, and there are probably hundreds of them! A large furry ball made me almost vomit!"
A whole bag of mice?!
We were shocked when we heard this and felt a chill in our hearts.
A layer of goose bumps appeared on my face. Mom, I was in the car just now, and I actually slept next to a bag of mice.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt uncomfortable all over. It seemed as if my whole body was itchy. I felt so sloppy that I wanted to take a hot hot bath and kill myself.
I can imagine what the scene was like when rats were all in one pocket. Hundreds of mice were clustered and squeezed each other like meat balls. No wonder I saw something moving around before.
I turned my head and looked at Xiong Da and asked curiously: "Brother Xiong, what are you doing for bringing back a pocket rat?"
Xiong Da put down the wine bowl: "Didn't you just say it? It's for the village chief!"
"What are you for the village chief? Why do you for the village chief? He is a mouse breeder?" Lei Zi asked while scratching his head.
Xiong Da said seriously: "To be honest, I don't know what the village chief brought these mice back to do! Because the temperature here is very low, there are basically no mice, and it is difficult for mice to survive here. Every time I go to the city to transport vegetables, Village Chief Gao will entrust me to help him get a pocket rat from the city. As for what he gets back to do with so many mice, he won't tell me!"
The more we listened, the more we became strange. What medicine was in the gourd, what plane was he doing, and what were he doing when he got so many mice? Did he not feel disgusted?
I heard that Village Chief Gao was a little strange before, but now I heard about the mouse. We feel that Village Chief Gao was a little strange. His actions are indeed different from ordinary people, mysterious and a little strange.
"Brother Xiong, have you never asked Village Chief Gao about the mouse?" Ku Junwei asked.
Xiong Da said: "I asked, why don't you ask? I asked the first time. After all, I don't want to put such a disgusting thing in the car to bring it back! But I asked several times, but the village chief didn't tell me. After asking too many times, he wanted to get angry at me and told me not to meddle in other people's business! And he also told me not to let other people in the village know about this matter!
Lao Gao is a good person and has helped me a lot. Since he said this, I will keep this secret for him!
Hey, don’t say anything. In order to help him get these mice, every time I go to the city, I have to say hello to the restaurants and ask them to catch mice in a mouse-catching cage, and store the mice they catch there. Then I will buy them once every ten days and a half months!
And what's even more strange is that Lao Gao ordered a living mouse, but he didn't want a dead mouse!
Those restaurants think I'm surprised that there are people in this world who pay to buy mice, and they are happy with this business!"
If we just thought Village Chief Gao was a little weird before, then now, we think Village Chief Gao was very weird and very problematic. There may be many unknown secrets hidden in him, including in his house.
Xiong Er pouted and said, "Look, I'll just say that the village chief is weird!"
