The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 18 The Fat Bamboo Rat
Ye Qing and Ye Junbei heard the words, the brother and sister ran to the back of the house, the speed was faster than a rabbit.The two ran to the back of the house panting, only to see Mrs. Zhang standing beside a large clump of bamboo, pointing to the roots of the bamboo and said happily: "Guess what I saw?"

Ye Qing panted heavily and frowned, seeing that Mrs. Zhang was safe and sound, she was relieved immediately.It's just that Mrs. Zhang has always been gentle and gentle, so why should she be so excited?Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her twice more.

Surrounding Mrs. Zhang is a large clump of bamboo, which seems to have been there for many years.The bamboo here is not like the bamboo sea in that time and space. Each bamboo grows separately, but grows from one root system.This is a kind of water bamboo, which is often used to make baskets and baskets. Although it is a cage, each bamboo is straight and thick, and it seems to be well taken care of.

Ye Junbei was very happy to see her, and his tense nerves were relaxed. He smiled and said disapprovingly, "It's just cats and dogs. Maybe you can see snakes or bamboo rats."

"Well, it's really a bamboo rat. It's fat and big. It just got in."

"Really?"

When Ye Junbei heard it, he let out a voice of surprise.Mrs. Zhang nodded affirmatively, every time she nodded, Ye Qing was afraid that her head would fall off her neck, Ye Qing was terrified when he saw it.It's just that there are bamboo rats here?

In the place where she lives, the bamboo rat feeds on the underground stems, roots, twigs and stems of bamboo. It is named after eating bamboo and is a very precious wild species.She clearly remembered that bamboo rats lived in tropical and subtropical forests, shrubs and bamboo forests in eastern Africa and southern Asia.Moreover, it is big and fleshy, delicious, nutritious, thick and soft, and has high economic value and medicinal value. She really did not expect that there would be wild bamboo rats in this poor place.

It was so shocking.

Bamboo rat is a creature, despite its fat body, it runs extremely fast, and if the hunter doesn't have a bit of skill, he can't catch it.Ye Qing didn't see a living figure, so she doesn't know if the bamboo rat here is the same as the bamboo rat in her memory, but seeing Ye Junbei so excited, it must be extremely rare on weekdays.

"Brother, it has gone into the hole, can we still catch it?"

Ye Junbei smiled mysteriously, showing a mouthful of bright white and neat teeth, and said proudly: "You can go back with your sister-in-law, brother will catch bamboo rats for you to eat."

Mrs. Zhang also turned her head and smiled and pulled her back, "Why don't you believe your elder brother? The one you caught last time, you were willing to eat it after playing with it for two days, and you forgot it so soon?"

Ye Qing frowned into the word "Chuan", she didn't have any of these memories in her mind.She didn't know how it happened, she seemed to be unable to remember many things, and always felt that the memory of the original owner had been stolen.

Mrs. Zhang led Ye Qing home, Ye Qing went to sleep after eating and drinking, and she went to get the soles of her shoes.

When Ye Qing woke up, it was already mid-afternoon.Stretching out and going out, she found two cages in the main room, and there were two fat guys in the cages, looking at her with dark eyes, very cute.Hey, Ye Junbei really caught it!
He didn't know how Ye Junbei caught the guy in the cave, but the skins of the two little things didn't get damaged at all, so it must have been obtained by cleverness.Thinking of this, she had a little more admiration for this elder brother.

Bamboo rats are about [-] centimeters long and weigh at least four to five catties, judging from their fat bodies. They look stout like zokors.The head is blunt and round, the snout is large, the eyes are small, and the ears are hidden in the fur.The tail is evenly covered with long, soft and thin hair, and the skin can be seen through the perspective.The front feet are smaller and the claws are shorter, but such claws are very powerful in digging soil.

Ye Qing gasped in admiration, it's really strange, apart from the slight difference in coat color, these two guys and the bamboo rats from another world, apart from the huge difference in living conditions, their body shape and hobbies haven't changed at all.She really couldn't wait to peel the two little things into the pot.

"Qingqing!" Mrs. Xu came back with a basket, just in time to see Ye Qing squatting on the ground, not knowing what she was doing, so she called out to her.

Ye Qing raised his head, saw Mrs. Xu came back with a smile on his face, he was still thinking about hatching chickens, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Mother, can the third wife hold chickens?"

The setting sun reflected on Xu's face, as if it had coated her smile with a layer of gold, making her smile look more benevolent.She hung the empty basket under the eaves, stepped into the door, raised her hand to poke Ye Qing's forehead lovingly, and pretended to be angry and said: "You girl, you don't ask mother if you are tired first, but you think about you first." Here comes the chicken."

Ye Qing stuck out his tongue, threw himself into her arms, acted coquettishly, then poured water on Xu Shi and beat his shoulders, "Mother is not angry, mother is the best."

Xu's heart was elated by her coaxing, he stroked her head with a smile, took a sip of water and said, "The third wife's family happened to have a hen to raise, and they are not going to raise chickens for the time being, and they are still worrying about it. Just in time, we sent over a dozen eggs, and they were hugged right away."

"Really?"

"You girl, is it possible that a mother is still lying to you?"

"No, hehe, mother, drink water, drink water, I'll make dinner, hehe..."

Ye Qing pondered, if modern machines hatch the chicks, the hatching time would be very short, but now they are all hatched manually, the incubation period is about 21 days.It is not known how fertilized the rooster is, nor how many chicks will hatch after 21 days.Now that it has hatched, she can't change anything, so she can only wait.

Wu Yan came back in the evening and bought all the things she told her.Seeing this, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhang were shocked and immediately asked Ye Junbei to hide the things in the house.If someone sees it, these things will enter the stomach again.

"Qingqing, it's not that my mother is reluctant to spend money to buy these things, but our family is different from other families. We will buy a small amount in the future, and we can spend more time there." This is much more cost-effective than being robbed by someone.

Ye Qing couldn't remember those excellent aunts in her family, nodded to Mrs. Xu, and then thought about how to solve this problem.It doesn't matter if the weather is good, but if it's raining or snowing, it's really troublesome to go to the city to buy things every now and then.Therefore, she had to think about how to guard against that group of wolves.

"Mom, I know, I won't do it in the future."

Ye Qing comforted Xu Shi, then cut half of the pork that Wu Yan bought, hung it in the well to freeze, and will eat it tomorrow.She went into the kitchen with the remaining half of the pork and flour, to eat white bread tonight.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang went into the kitchen to help her knead the dough. The aunt and sister-in-law cooperated very well, and they steamed a tray in a short while.The fire was raging, and the smell of buns wafted into the main room, and a group of old men's gluttons were hooked out.

　Come on, come on, I'm ready to eat bamboo rats, the rat meat is fat and delicious, collect it quickly, and vote quickly.It's Friday again, girls, do you really not vote for Qingqing and Wuyan?
