Gu Fei saw the spatula flying around. When the snake piece exploded until it turned yellow, he picked up the snake piece and put it on the plate next to him.
Then Gu Fei added ginger, garlic, dried red pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and various spices into the pot. The oil sizzled and the fragrance spread everywhere.
The old lady smelled it not far away and sneezed, "What does this smell like? It's so choking!"
Some of the people watching also sneezed. The village chief said "tsk tsk" a few times, "After all, it came from the Hou Mansion. I've never seen anyone cook with so much oil and so many spices."
Lanzhi held her nose and shook her head. The Hou family didn't eat this stuff, nor was it something that would kill people.
She didn't even know Xiao Fei could cook!
Gu Fei added the snake meat and stir-fried it until golden brown, then added soy sauce and hot sauce to color it. When the color of the sauce was in, put a bowl of water in, cover the pot and simmer.
Uncle Ma touched his chin next to him and exclaimed, "Girl, you look delicious and a good eater."
"By the way, what's that red thing you put there?"
Gu Fei blinked, "A kind of wild fruit picked in the mountains becomes like this when dried. It's very spicy. I tried it at home. It's spicy, but it's not poisonous. It can enhance the flavor when put in dishes."
Uncle Ma looked at it. Looking at Gu Fei, "You are a brave girl, you dare to eat anything."
The snake meat will take a while to become rotten, so the adults walked away silently when they saw that the excitement was gone.
Those half-grown men gathered around the stove and refused to leave.
Gu Rong patted the heads of several people at this time: "Let's go, there's nothing interesting to see. With such a small amount of meat, we don't have enough to eat at home."
Gu Fei counted when he was chopping, and he chopped a total of twenty-nine pieces. , It's really not enough to eat.
The two families had a total of fourteen people, and each person could get two pieces.
At this time, the village chief called Uncle Ma over and invited several men to discuss, "Everyone has run out of water. Why don't you send someone out to look around here?"
Uncle Ma pondered for a moment, "I don't think so. I suggest you look for water now. Firstly, it will waste time. Secondly, you are afraid of getting lost because you are not familiar with the place. Please hold on, everyone. I remember that there is a small river twenty miles away, not far from the official road. There should be water. Let's start early tomorrow. That's it."
The village chief could only nod, "Okay, let's just cook it for a while."
Uncle Ma was eager to eat the braised snake meat, so he quickly turned around and stayed by the pot.
The snake meat had been simmering for two quarters of an hour. Gu Fei opened the lid of the pot and a rich aroma wafted out.
Gu Fei asked Gu Sanlang to add firewood to the bottom, and started to put salt, oil, and chicken essence.
Uncle Ma blinked at the side. This girl put everything in there, so don't let her poison her. .
The soup in the iron pot slowly gathered and bubbled, and every piece of snake meat was covered with the oily and thick soup.
Gu Fei took a big bowl, scooped up the snake meat, and placed it on the wooden board that Chen had set up. Just as she was about to turn around, she saw Bao'er's hands reaching over.
Gu Fei shouted, "Third brother——"
