Chapter 164 Bamboo Rat Soup, Sliced ​​Bamboo Shoots
Xiao Ningxue didn't bother to answer them, she would definitely go to the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom, after all, it was hard to travel through it, so why not go around?
But in this situation, how can you think about it?
Worried about her husband, and also worried about Brother Ye Wang, counting the time, they should have almost arrived in the capital, right?
I don't know if it went well on the road.

I don't know if the King of the Night has a way to keep Qiganling and the ancient Shu Kingdom.

Besides, Qiganling is just a temporary foothold for everyone. Where will you go after leaving here?
What will they face again? Everything is unknown.

So I'm afraid it's still far away to go to the capital.

That evening, He Yu brought several bags of grain over with him.

During this period of time, he led his troops to build a city wall several miles long at the fourth mountain range.

Now the 'general' in the barracks is pretending to be Wu Chongwen's secret guards, so the barracks has gradually resumed military training, and the city walls have begun to be strengthened.

And Xiao Shulan set off to return to the capital, presumably because she was worried that Le Sishu would not have the ability to guard Qiganling, and planned to return to the capital to find a way to hire a powerful character to assist.

Of course, it is impossible to give up the position of General Pingnan.

The preliminary plan is to invite Prince Wu, who is good at fighting, to come out of the mountains and come to Qiganling to be the commander-in-chief.

Prince Wu will do the fighting. His son can just be his general. Anyway, isn’t it all due to him being the general who wins the battle?
He Yu didn't receive any letter from the Night King either. It's an icy and snowy place, and the task is so arduous, it's understandable that there is no letter.

After chatting for a while, He Yu left.

Xiao Ningxue brought him a lot of Jueba vermicelli and cured wild ducks, but He Yu didn't show any politeness to her, and took them away beautifully.

Early the next morning, Xue Ruyun came to look for Xiao Ningxue with an expression of interest.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, are you bored? I'll take you to dig winter bamboo shoots."

Xiao Ningxue was looking for something to do so that the time would pass faster, so she immediately agreed.

After a while, a large group of people were organized in the village, dragging sleds and carrying hoes, and went into the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots.

After all, it was in the mountains, worried about encountering wild animals, so forty or fifty people went there for safety.

After taking some time to reach the destination, everyone used the method of snowballing to quickly clear the snow, and then started to act.

Not everyone can dig these winter bamboo shoots, Xiao Ningxue dug it up and down, but didn't find any.

"Brother Xuehen, are you sure there are bamboo shoots growing under the mud?" Xiao Ningxue sat on the handle of the hoe with her head downcast.

Anyway, she only saw mud, not a single bamboo shoot.

Xuehen explained, "Winter bamboo shoots are hidden in the soil. This kind of bamboo shoots that haven't seen the sun are extra crispy and sweet."

Speaking of pointing to a ground with full experience, "There must be one hidden under this."

"Oh? How did you find out?" Xiao Ningxue surrounded her with a face full of interest.

"The ground is slightly raised and cracked, and a thick winter bamboo shoot is designated to break out of the ground." Xuehen looked affirmative.

"Really? Then dig it out quickly." Everyone ran over to watch.

Everyone knows that winter bamboo shoots are more expensive than meat, but almost no one has eaten them. There is no bamboo forest in Taohua Village, and no one has the experience of digging bamboo shoots.

After all, Xuehen grew up in Qiganling, and he was doing very well. He waved his hoe and said, "Then step aside, and I will dig it for you."

After driving everyone back three steps, Xuehen went down with a few hoes, and sure enough, he dug out a winter bamboo shoot thicker than a thigh.

"Yo? Really."
Everyone has learned experience, and they all searched for it according to this method.

After a while, they all cheered, this one was dug, and that one was also dug.

Xiao Ningxue searched carefully, and found a place that was very likely to grow bamboo shoots. When she went down with a hoe, there was a crisp sound, and the bamboo shoots were cut off from the middle by her, what a pity!
Before digging two, Xiao Ningxue was suddenly attracted by a slippery hole.

"Ah, what kind of hole is this?" Xiao Ningxue put down her hoe in surprise, rushed to the hole, and looked inside.

"Xiaoxue be careful." Xue Ruyun ran over nervously, "Don't get so close, what if a snake comes out?"

Xiao Ningxue laughed loudly, "Snakes seem to be dead in winter, how could they suddenly pop out?"

"Really?" Xue Ruyun scratched his forehead, "That's because I'm ignorant."

"This is not a snake cave." Xuehen came over again with experience, "This is a bamboo rat cave. The entrance of the cave is so smooth, this guy must still be in the cave."

While talking here, someone exclaimed over there.

"There are many, many holes in the ground."

Xuehen ran over to take a look and became excited.

"So many bamboo rat holes? That's delicious again."

"This stuff is much more delicious than rabbit meat. The meat is also fresh and tender, and the fur is soft and thick. It is more expensive than rabbit skin."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it.

"Then dig and dig it out of the hole."

"Don't." Xuehen stopped, "use smoke, this method will save time and effort."

So after a while, smoke rose everywhere in the bamboo forest, and a fire was burned in front of each bamboo mouse hole, and all the firewood was added to the fire, but there was no fire, only smoke, and the smoke was billowing.

After that, I took a fan made of bamboo leaves and fanned it vigorously into the hole.

After such a period of time, I suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from the cave, and then suddenly a big gray bamboo rat jumped out, weighing at least ten catties, very fat.

Everyone had already made preparations, and surrounded the outside with a half-person-high snow wall. The guy was dizzy from the smoke, and as soon as he jumped out, he plunged into the snowdrift and caught him right away.

It's a pity that when I ran through the fire, the hair was scorched all over, and the leather probably wouldn't sell well.

Xuehen tore two vines and bound it firmly.

Xiao Ningxue looked left and right while carrying it, and thought it was just a big rat, and praised Xuehen sincerely.

"Brother Xuehen, you are too powerful, why do you know everything?"

"Huh~ I don't know what? It's just that I grew up in the mountains and I know a little about hunting." Xuehen laughed, feeling embarrassed.

After a busy day in the bamboo forest, we not only dug up a sled of winter bamboo shoots, but also smoked out a dozen or so bamboo rats with firewood.

It's fat and fat, and just looking at it, I think it should be delicious.

"This bamboo forest is so big, I don't know how many winter bamboo shoots and bamboo rats there are. Let's come back tomorrow." Everyone has harvested a lot, and they still have more to say.

That night, the bamboo rat that Xiao Ningxue got allotted became a delicacy in the pot.

Bamboo rat soup, hot bamboo shoot slices.

The bamboo rat meat is delicious, the bamboo shoots are sweet and crisp, and the taste is absolutely amazing.

After eating the leftover soup, add two pieces of jueba vermicelli, and it is so delicious that you can't stop it.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao eating two bowls of vermicelli in succession, Xiao Ningxue snatched her bowl with a smile.

"Grandmother, this vermicelli is delicious, but it's not as digestible as noodles." As he spoke, he picked up a bowl of noodles for her and handed it to Mrs. Xiao.

"You girl, why are you so careful?" Mrs. Xiao took it over with a loving smile on her face.

She suffered a serious illness and lost a lot of weight. Under the careful care of her family, she fully recovered within two days.

After dinner, everyone peeled the bamboo shoots.

In the winter, it is not convenient to pickle sour, but it can be baked into dried bamboo shoots, and soaked in hot water when eating, it is still crisp.

In such a world of ice and snow, this is the only 'vegetable' that can be eaten.

It took half a month to dig the winter bamboo shoots, and Xiao Ningxue and the others rummaged through the entire bamboo forest.

Anyway, this kind of bamboo shoots will not grow up and turn into bamboo. The ones that can really grow into bamboo are spring bamboo shoots, and I am not afraid that they will not grow bamboo in the coming year.

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the New Year will soon be here.

Wu Chongwen had promised Xiao Ningxue that he would come back for the New Year.

In the past few days, Xiao Ningxue has really, as Xiao Zhilan said, eagerly awaiting Wu Chongwen's return.
