Gu Fei saw the spatula flying around. When the snake piece exploded until it turned yellow, he picked it up and put it on the plate next to it.

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!"

There were also a few sneezers among the people watching, and the village chief said "tsk tsk" a few times, "It's from the Hou Mansion after all. I have never seen any restaurant that uses so much oil and so many spices in cooking."

Lanzhi covered her nose and shook her head. Houfu didn't eat this stuff, and there was no such thing as choking.

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 you are a good eater."

"By the way, what's the red one 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 Gu Fei and said, "You're a brave girl, you dare to eat anything."

The snake meat needs to be simmered for a while before it becomes rotten. The adults walked away silently when they saw that there was no excitement.

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."

When Gu Fei was chopping just now, she counted a total of twenty-nine pieces, which was really not enough.

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 a few men to discuss, "These guys are out of water. Why don't we send someone out to look around here?"

Uncle Ma pondered for a moment, "I don't recommend looking for water now. Firstly, it will waste time, and secondly, you are afraid of getting lost if you are not familiar with the place. Hold on, everyone. I remember that there is a small river twenty miles away, not far from the official road. There should still be water, so we’ll leave early tomorrow.”

The village chief had no choice but to nod, "That's alright, then let's just endure it a little longer."

Uncle Ma was eager to eat the braised snake meat. After finishing speaking, 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, salt, oil, and chicken essence.

Uncle Ma blinked in disbelief. This girl put something in there, so don't let her poison her to death.

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 large 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 stretching out.

Gu Fei shouted, "Third brother——"
