"What's the situation?"

When Village Chief Cui heard the movement in the village, he hurriedly ran to the door of the ancestral hall and looked out, and after taking a look, he immediately shrunk his neck, ran back again, stared eagerly at the scales in Li Bai's hand, and said, "Good baby, good baby!"

Squinting his eyes, it was as if he had fallen into a spell.

"Hey, hey, wipe your saliva!"

Li Bai kindly reminded him, and by the way, he casually stuffed the scales of the Qingyao Demon Maiden back into his pocket.

Since it has been taken out of the storage ring, it is not in the pocket, and the effect is not very different.

"Ahh

Village Chief Cui's soul was finally called back, and he wiped his mouth with an embarrassed expression.

Even the insects in the entire village were all scared out by the "dragon scales", which must be treasures.

If there is such a "treasure" in the town, I am afraid that the whole village will no longer be disturbed by any insects, and even the pesticides in the field will be saved, which is a lot of money.

Thinking about it, he quickly wiped his mouth again, for fear that the saliva would flow down again.

I can't think about it anymore, and if I think about it any longer, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake.

Wealth is moving, and treasures are even more moving.

The team leader doctor Sun Shuhui also followed to look outside the ancestral hall a few times, and walked around the courtyard twice, but he really didn't see a single live bug, and muttered in his mouth, "There are really no bugs left." ”

Only then did he look at Li Bai's pocket with green scales in disbelief, and asked, "What kind of scale is yours?"

That piece of "dragon scale" not only frightened away the insects in the ancestral hall, but also alarmed the insects in the entire village.

The "Bug Parade" is being held outside the ancestral hall, and the scene is particularly terrifying, which is very reminiscent of the witchcraft in the southwestern mountains.

"It's okay!"

Li Bai took out the turquoise scale again, threw it in his hand, and stuffed it back into his pocket again.

The coercion of the big demon snake scales was not only the entire ancestral hall courtyard, but even covered the entire village, which triggered a big riot of insects in the whole village and escaped collectively.

Village Chief Cui persuaded himself not to be delusional in his heart, but he couldn't help but stare at the scale.

Sensing the strange gaze of this ground snake, Li Bai smiled and kindly reminded: "Village Chief Cui, this dragon scale is indeed a treasure, but if mortals want to get involved, they will only bring disaster to themselves, the last guy who borrowed it and didn't pay it back, but he was unlucky, do you want to know about this story?"

This is another sad story of stealing chickens and rice, and the unlucky ghost who originally wanted to possess this snake scale ended up crying and shouting that he would return it back to life.

"No, don't!"

Village Chief Cui, who had an extremely strong desire to survive, hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

As an indigenous people in the southwestern mountainous area, they naturally know the benefits and harms inside, and they also believe in the theory of calamity.

With just one warning, he never dared to have any undeserved thoughts.

"Can you show me the scales?"

was bitten enough by mosquitoes, and Wei Jin, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who had given himself the medicine, was very interested in the "dragon scale" that had just appeared on Li Bai's hand.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, snakes, insects, rats and ants can all be used in medicine, and there are many more medicinal materials with "dragon" in the name, and he wants to take a closer look at whether this scale, known as "dragon scale", is the legendary dragon.

"Okay!"

Li Bai generously took out the scales and put them on Doctor Wei's hand.

"It can't be jade, right?"

As soon as the scales were started, the warm and oily texture made Wei Jin's eyes light up.

Completely different from the rough fish scales, every inch of this turquoise and transparent scale reveals something extraordinary, and the strange texture of the palm contact faintly conveys some kind of dangerous warning, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up one by one, like some terrifying existence, even if it is just a relic, it is definitely not something that ordinary snakes or giant snakes can have.

The more carefully he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and in Wei Jin's mind, a green giant snake was depicted, staring at him, and for no reason he was flustered, and he hurriedly threw the turquoise scales in his hand back to Li Bai.

patted his chest and said with palpitations: "This thing is a bit evil!"

"Really, dragon scales?"

The leading doctor, Sun Shuhui, is obviously a little square.

"Only God knows!"

Traditional Chinese medicine Wei Jin didn't dare to play this package, but he just felt that this was not an ordinary scale.

Even people can sense the danger and the unusual, and it is not surprising that those sensitive bugs react more violently.

"Let's get to work!"

Sun Shuhui didn't say anything more, at least the strange scales made the ancestral hall completely quiet, and the work of the medical team could be carried out smoothly.

Including the provincial and county-level reception staff and Coaster drivers, plus ten medical teams, a total of thirteen people, were busy in the front yard and middle hall of the ancestral hall, and completely sprinkled the corners and corners.

The power of the scales that Li Bai took out was really extraordinary, and as a result, two dustpans of insect corpses were swept out, and the arthrops and elytra with fangs and claws were shocking, but fortunately there was no meal yet, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to eat dinner.

Seeing the medical team and others busy, Village Chief Cui called more than a dozen people, the strength of the people was great, and it didn't take long to clean up the entire ancestral hall inside and out, and even the stone pier was about to be polished.

Put all kinds of medical equipment away, complete the drug warehouse, hang two big steel locks, one key belongs to Sun Shuhui, the leader of the medical team, and one belongs to Lu Li, the reception staff of the Provincial Health Department.

By the time all this was done, it was getting dark.

The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the high-voltage power line towers and signal poles of mobile communication base stations at the top of the mountain beams is like a layer of gold edge.

At this moment, the village is littered with insect corpses, as if an extinction disaster has just occurred.

The insects that ran late were directly scared to death by the coercion of snake scales, but these little insects didn't know that the main owner didn't come at all, but some breath made them frightened, and they couldn't live directly.

The villagers of Qishuiao looked at the dead insects everywhere,

Village Chief Cui personally closed the door of the atrium of the ancestral hall and the gate of the front yard, and also locked them.

Although no one usually breaks into the ancestral hall to cause damage, but now there are important items of the medical team inside, so it is not a big mistake to be careful, and a lock is still added.

Dinner was placed at the village chief's house, because there were four more wild boars, the two cauldrons on the kitchen stove were obviously not enough, and several neighbors' cauldrons were borrowed to dispose of the divided wild boars separately.

When the medical team and others came from the ancestral hall, the wild boar meat in the pressure cooker was almost out of the pot.

The secret of cooking wild boar in Qishuiao Village is to first use cold water to soak the meat pieces, skim off the blood, and then fry them with oil, then throw them into the pressure cooker, put in the green onion segments, ginger to kill the fishy, mix with raw and old soy sauce and add tempeh and oyster sauce to taste, do not put salt, and then pour two bottles of beer, a bottle of rice wine and water, directly cover the fire, and then simmer the whole process after the gas to maintain the pressure and temperature, for three hours, the meat is soft and rotten.

If you want to taste better, you have to take five hours, add water and beer in between, and cook it from morning to night (the meat fiber of wild boar's hind leg meat is thick and hard, and you can't eat it in a pressure cooker for less than three hours).

When Village Chief Cui returned from the ancestral hall with the medical team, the wild boar meat in the pressure cooker had only been three hours old.

The hard dishes on the table are basically wild boars brought by the medical team, and the people in the mountains have skillfully made a few delicious things from the wild boars.

Wild boar skin fried green onions, used as a way to return to the pot meat, the wild boar skin instead of pork belly, the taste is abnormal Q bomb, bite it, very elastic.

South milk large intestine, cut open wild boar large intestine with sweet potato powder, clear the lymph and fat, cook with cooking wine and ginger for half an hour, cut into sections and garlic cloves from the oil pan and stir-fry, and then mix the red yeast curd ** into the flavor, and finally collect the juice with the starch, not as laborious as the pressure cooker to cook meat, after the pot the fragrance and taste are not inferior to the large intestine of the pig, and even more tendon and more brittle.

Qishuiao Village's own dishes include fried stream fish, cucumbers, mixed wild vegetables, fried beans and a large pot of braised catfish, etc., seven or eight stainless steel vegetable basins, together with the big pot of steaming wild boar in the center, the staple food is not rice, it is steamed potatoes (potatoes) in baskets, just like Westerners' meal bags, you can take them yourself.

As a poor village in a poor county, it is not easy to eat enough every day, and there are really not many good things to take.

In order to clean up those wild boar, almost half of the village's condiments were emptied.

In normal times, three meals a day are at most some freshly picked vegetables, even the oil is reluctant to put more, want to eat meat can only wait for the New Year's holiday, chickens, ducks and geese and other poultry and livestock raised at home, is an important source of income for daily life.

Because the overexploitation of the mountains and forests is not allowed, the only crops that can be grown are artichoke, crops such as rice and corn, and there is simply no money to buy enough pesticides and fertilizers.

Without fertilizer, the terraced fields with limited area will be wasted in a few years, while planting artichoke requires less fertility, which can be supplemented with manure and potassium-rich plant ash, and then sprinkled with some fertilizer top dressing, which can ensure a year's harvest.

Seeing that the main dishes on the table were all brought by the medical team, Village Chief Cui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to kill another chicken, but the baby at home was still counting on laying a few more eggs in exchange for a set of extracurricular books that he had liked for a long time, but in the end he was reluctant, so he went to the stream to touch more than 20 small fish, and asked the villagers who went to pick up the medical team to go to the pond to see if they could catch a few big fish and add food to the guests.

Fortunately, those wild boars can be regarded as relieving the siege for Village Chief Cui, so that tonight's banquet will not be unsightly.

"Sit, sit, sit, the conditions at home are simple, everyone please take a moment. ”

Village Chief Cui greeted warmly, and a large round table top was pressed against the Eight Immortals table, just enough to sit down for more than a dozen people.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and compared with the righteous and bright ancestral hall, the village chief's house is particularly shabby, no different from the slum.
