Chapter 244 - Feeding the Baby Snakes Steamed Egg (1/2)

“By the way, I made salted eggs as well, but I don’t know if they’re ready yet. I can cook a few of them later and we can all try them together.”

With a dark look on his face, Curtis flipped his hand around to grab a large stone bowl from the stone counter and passed it to her.

Bai Qingqing quickly took the bowl and scooped out some steamed eggs for him. The stone pot, which was as big as the stone basin, was mostly full of steamed eggs. She had used nineteen eggs since there were nineteen baby snakes—that way, there would be an egg for every baby snake. If they each ate less than a mouthful, there would likely be enough steamed eggs left for Curtis to fill one bowl.

Whatever. If there isn’t enough, I’ll just make more.

“Be careful. It’s hot,” Bai Qingqing said as she passed the bowl back to him.

Curtis was initially pretty satisfied and was about to tuck in when Parker placed all the baby snakes in the warm nest lined with animal skin. Bai Qingqing then scooped out some salted eggs from the bowl and fed it to the baby snakes.

Curtis’s snake tail immediately tensed up. His spoonful of steamed egg, which he’d just picked up, remained in mid-air.

“Be good, little snakes. Don’t bite me.” Bai Qingqing took a deep breath before slowly bringing her hand towards the snake nest.

All the little snakes in the nest immediately straightened their bodies and raised their heads. They looked like germinated bean sprouts.

Bai Qingqing brought the first spoonful of steamed eggs to the mouth of the little snake closest to the edge of the bamboo basket.

“Ssss~” The little snake flicked his forked tongue. His red eyes seemed to light up as the tip of his tongue detected the warmth and fragrant smell of the steamed egg. He then opened his mouth and knocked into the wooden spoon with a thud.

The force caused Bai Qingqing’s hand to shake, and she instinctively pulled her hand away.

The little snake’s head was covered in the golden yellow steamed egg. After getting a taste of the warm food, he instantly became excited and twisted his body so that he looked straight at Bai Qingqing’s hand.

He ate the steamed egg!

Bai Qingqing immediately felt thrilled and daringly fed the little snake once more.
