Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 247 Catching Bamboo Rat

Xiao Yuer was forced into the slingshot by Goudan. Goudan said to Xiao Yuer: "It was my fault before. Your painting is really good, better than anyone I have ever seen!"

Although Master Xiao Yu'er is good at painting, he is so much older than Xiao Yu'er, and his paintings are about the same, so Xiao Yu'er must be better.

Xiao Yu'er was still a child after all, so she was very happy to be recognized by her friends, and she immediately forgot about her previous unhappiness.

When Jiang Ancheng and Li Shengli came back from the newly divided Dendrobium base, they saw a crowd of people standing on the roadside.

Jiang Ancheng and Li Shengli walked over. As everyone took the initiative to avoid a road, they heard them complimenting him: "Boss Jiang, this is great. Xiao Yu'er, a painter, can now become a teacher!"

"What teacher? He's the painter they say! He makes beautiful paintings. I want to make one to hang at home!"

"If you don't look at who you are, we are Xiao Yu'er's relatives. If you want to give it to us, you must first collect it for us!"

"People say that Tang Bohu's paintings suddenly become valuable after being kept for many years. I think, Xiao Yu'er, when you grow up, this painting will become very valuable."

Jiang Ancheng knew that Xiao Yuer was good at painting, but at the moment, he only regarded it as a compliment.

When he walked up to Xiao Yu'er, he was stunned suddenly.

The scenery on the scroll is like a fairyland.

It's obviously their mountain village, but it has the flavor of paradise on earth.

Jiang Ancheng even felt that Xiao Yu'er's painting was more beautiful than the one painted by Li Yuanming beside him.

Li Shengli took a deeper breath, pointed to the painting and asked, "Is this painted by Xiao Yuer?"

God, no wonder everyone wants Xiao Yu'er to be a painter!

This is obviously a painter!
Li Yuanming smiled and said to Jiang Ancheng: "Xiao Yu'er's talent is extraordinary, China cannot trap him!"

Everyone likes to hear good words, especially when the good words are likely to come true.

However, Jiang Ancheng felt a little heartbroken. In his previous life, if Xiao Yu'er could live the life he had now, he would have been able to shine as brightly as he does now.

Li Shengli walked up to Xiao Yu'er and said warmly: "Xiao Yu'er, give this painting to your uncle. My uncle will definitely frame it and put it in the new house!"

Li Shengli recently went on a blind date with a girl, and they got along quite well with her. Her parents were highly educated, and Li Shengli was already thinking about getting married.

Although he is only a small village chief now, the conditions in their village are getting better and better, and he feels that he will be able to bring a happy marriage to his girls.

Xiao Yu'er was very satisfied with his painting, and Sun Miaolan also liked it very much.

However, the person to be painted is Village Chief Li, so he needs to be given some face.

Sun Miaolan didn't say anything and looked at Xiao Yu'er quietly. Xiao Yu'er was very confident and brave. She opened her mouth and said: "Next time, I'll give it to you next time. I like my painting today very much!"

Xiao Yu'er refused, and everyone showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes. However, they also shouted that they were related and wanted Xiao Yu'er to give him a pair.

The painting given by the son of big boss Jiang Ancheng is not only a painting, but also a symbol of good relationships. Who wouldn't want to hang one to attract wealth and luck?

Xiao Yu'er also wants to sketch here with Li Yuanming. In addition to painting landscapes, Li Yuanming will also teach Xiao Yu'er some more complicated things.

For example, sketching, or detailed imitation of animals and plants.

Li Guoguo stayed aside obediently, while the adults also gathered around to watch from time to time.

Until the sun was about to set, Xiao Yu'er and Li Yuanming drew several pictures of the sunset before hurried home.

The little fish was already hungry.

Suddenly, he remembered the wild vegetables he and Li Guoguo had dug.

Xiao Yu'er asked Li Guoguo: "Where are the wild vegetables?"

Li Guoguo smiled sweetly and said, "I've already given it to Aunt Li!"

Xiao Yu'er ran to the kitchen and saw that Lin Yuesao had already fried Chinese toon and eggs.

The freshly cooked Chinese toon scrambled eggs exude an alluring aroma.

Xiao Yu'er and Li Guoguo swallowed angrily and touched their bellies, "I'm so hungry~"

The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding. Lin Yuesao saw it and smiled: "We will eat soon. If you want to sit down, we will bring the food!"

Xiao Yu'er and Li Guoguo hurried to sit down, and saw that fried bugs had already been set on the dining table.

Chef Al and the translator were sitting next to Xiao Yuer and Li Guoguo.

The translator introduced to Chef Al that this is a local specialty, fried bugs.

Chef Al loves good food, but eating bugs still requires some courage.

Xiao Yu'er and Li Guoguo stared at the bug with eager expressions.

Chef Al asked the translator: "What kind of bugs are these?"

The translation was not very clear. Even if it was alive, he couldn't recognize it, and even if it was golden and crispy, he had no idea.

The translator asked the little fish next to him: "Do you know what these are?"

Xiao Yu'er said happily: "You don't know this, these are bamboo insects, grasshoppers, bee pupae, silkworm pupae, and flower spiders."

The translator didn't translate a single word, and Chef Al was frightened that someone could eat such an abundance of bugs.

The translator also told Chef Al that there are few bugs in this season. In summer, there are all kinds of bugs, centipedes, summer cicadas, etc.

Chef Al was amazed. He thought that only primitive tribesmen would have the habit of eating bugs.

But in the entire Yuncheng, millions of people are eating bugs together.

Looking around the world, this is a very powerful and amazing existence.

After a while, the pumpkin flowers picked by Xiao Yuer and Li Guoguo were brought to the table.

The pumpkin flowers are fried and look golden and crispy, very delicious, just like a flower-like snack.

This made Chef Al very curious and asked the translator: "What kind of food is this?"

The translator smiled and said: "The locals in Yuncheng not only have the habit of eating insects, but also the habit of eating flowers. Pumpkin flowers are one of the most common ones."

Chef Al was shocked, "It turns out that it is really a delicacy made of fresh flowers!"

The local dishes are really unique.

These were only two dishes, which made him even more curious.

After a while, scrambled eggs with Chinese toon and stewed meat with pomegranate flowers were served together.

The smell of Chinese toon is weird and fragrant.

Chef Al really wanted to taste what it tasted like, but when he turned to see the pomegranate flower stew on the plate, he was stunned again.

Chef Al asked the translator: "Isn't this the head of a pomegranate flower?"

He recognized this thing, but they never ate it locally.

The translator laughed and said, "This is also a kind of local edible flower!"

Chef Al was amazed that this kind of thing could be used for cooking. He was really more and more curious about this meal.

Soon, Xiao Yuer and Li Guoguo dug up the root of the ear root from the field and served it together with the cold clam heads.

The root of the folded ear looks like grass.

Vegetable salads are very common abroad, but foreign vegetable salads do not include strong seasonings such as chili peppers.

Chef Al also found peppercorns in it, and immediately frowned, "Isn't this too heavy?"

The translator smiled: "The local dishes are a bit heavier, but there are also relatively refreshing dishes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pea tip and pig's trotter soup was served.Pig's trotters abroad are usually eaten roasted, and they have never been stewed with vegetables like this.

It feels a bit scary.

Chef Al was a little apprehensive, but he still kept a happy smile on his face. At least he ate rice, so he shouldn't starve to death here.

After a while, some highlights came one after another.

For example, boiled fish, stir-fried sausage, spicy hare, twice-cooked pork ribs, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and mushroom soup.
With so many dishes, it can be seen that everyone welcomes them.

Chef Al was also very happy. He plucked up the courage to try the dishes that he originally hesitated to take down with chopsticks.

However, he got off to a bad start and didn't ask anything. Foreigners are the least receptive. Before the translator could dissuade him, he stuffed a piece of Houttuynia cordata into his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, Chef Al's soul collapsed.

What the hell is this? It tastes worse than chicken shit.

Chef Al immediately ran outside, looking like he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

Mainly because he was so anxious, he actually swallowed it alive.

It was also too bad to eat.

Damn it!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Although some people can't accept it, they won't be as exaggerated as Chef Al.

Chef Al took the handkerchief handed over by the translator, said thank you, and looked at everyone apologetically.

Chef Al said: "I'm sorry, it affects everyone's meal."

Jiang Ancheng was very sorry: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about the taste of this thing. It's very offensive. Other things taste good. Eat something else!"

Everyone was laughing secretly. After eating the root of the folded ear, it is most likely that you can eat other things.

Chef Al sat down and everyone brought him food.

Foreigners pay great attention to hygiene, so Jiang Ancheng quickly stopped him.

Chef Al immediately looked gratefully at Jiang Ancheng.

I was very happy to eat, because after Chef Al ate the root of the ear in advance, he really felt that he could eat anything again.

After eating and drinking, everyone took a nap and it was time for the next morning.

When Chef Al arrived, he saw Xiao Yu'er following Jiang Ancheng, as if he was about to enter the mountain.

Chef Al asked, "Where are we going?"

Jiang Ancheng said with a smile: "Go dig some spring bamboo shoots and see if you can catch a few bamboo rats. We can eat bamboo rats at noon today!"

Chef Al's eyes lit up and he was very curious about the process of catching bamboo rats, so he said to Jiang Ancheng: "Can you put it on me? If you don't mind, forget it."

Jiang Ancheng smiled: "Of course you are welcome!"

Chef Al was very happy: "Do you need me to prepare anything?"

Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "Just take care of yourself. The mountain road is slippery. Although we are only halfway up the mountain, we must pay attention to safety." Jiang Ancheng suddenly remembered: "On the way, you can also experience digging our local truffles."

Chef Al was immediately delighted: "Okay, I'm the best at digging truffles!" Then he said dejectedly: "Unfortunately, I don't have a truffle hunting dog."

When foreigners look for truffles, they rarely rely on experience. They always use hounds to find them.

The Chinese have always been very familiar with the habits of various vegetables. Even without hounds, they can rely on experience to find the location of truffles.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Yes, let's get on the Qilin!"

Although it is a native dog, it is not inferior to any other precious dog breed.

Jiang Ancheng touched Qilin's head, and Qilin licked the palm of his hand happily.

When Qilin lived in the flower shop before, he was not happy at all.

Now, I have a villa yard at home and can go back to the village for a walk, which makes me very happy.

Jiang Ancheng asked Qilin to search on the way up the mountain. After a while, Qilin howled twice.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said to Chef Al: "There are truffles here."

Chef Al was quick to pull out his own gadget made out of a stick and carefully dig out the truffles.

But he was simply too slow.

Just as he dug it out, Qilin found another one, dug it out himself, held it in his mouth and brought it to Jiang Ancheng's eyes.

Chef Al was surprised and touched Qilin's head: "It's so smart. It knows not to bite, so it holds it gently."

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "Well, our local dogs are all so smart!"

In the early years, when Uncle Jiang Ancheng went into the mountains, he would definitely bring two hounds with him, which could help him catch a lot of prey.

Chef Al rubbed the dirt on the truffle, sliced ​​it with a knife, and handed it to Jiang Ancheng, along with the translator and Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Yu'er shook his head: "I don't like eating it."

Chef Al was a little surprised that he didn't like eating such delicious black truffles.

Maybe I ate too much.

Chef Al has never thought that black truffles are used to feed pigs here.

If Jiang Ancheng had not been reborn, he would not like to eat this stuff.

Rebirth has made a lot of money from it, so with filters, I can already taste it like foreigners.

Chef Al took a few bites and saw the truffles being placed.

He said sadly: "Such a good truffle will be out of season this year."

There are indeed a lot of truffles, but we haven't dug them up this year because we were deliberately guided by foreign news.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "There is a consumer market for expensive things, and there is definitely a market for cheap ones, and even more for medium ones!"

“Our truffles are so good and so large, I don’t believe we can’t sell them!”

Jiang Ancheng remembered that in his previous life, the truffle export industry had also been fiercely squeezed out by foreign countries, but as the number of consumers grew, they simply could not control it.

Moreover, Jiang Ancheng has already obtained the fungus practice certificate.

Next year we will be able to find a way to start exporting in large quantities and in a regular manner.

This year’s experience was gained through trial and error, and many things were not perfect.

It is inevitable to be at a loss when encountering sudden chargebacks abroad.

Jiang Ancheng led everyone to a small wild bamboo forest soon.

Jiang Ancheng looked around and soon discovered some soft land.

The soil is obviously made by bamboo rats digging holes.

Their nest must be down there.

Xiao Yu'er asked: "Dad, how do we catch bamboo rats?"

In the past, when catching bamboo rats in front of his home, Jiang Ancheng only needed to put in a cage.

But recently there have been fewer bamboo rats around the village, making it difficult to catch them.
