Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 68 Bamboo Rat 2
Mingyong saw his daughter actually put the bamboo mouse in the back basket, as if he was going to take it home, he couldn't help asking
"Mingyu, what are you doing picking up that bamboo mouse, it's so dirty."

Um, is it dirty?Mingyu looked at the bamboo rat in the basket.No.It's very clean.

"Of course such a fat bamboo rat should be picked up and cooked to eat, otherwise it would be a waste." This is game.The bamboo rats raised in modern times cost fifty or sixty RMB per catty.

Mingyong looked at the bamboo rat in his daughter's back basket, and after hearing Mingyu's words, he said

"Can this mouse be eaten? Even during the drought, I have never heard that the family would eat mice."

I'm sorry, Tianwu, people here don't eat bamboo rats.Bamboo rat meat is tender and easy to cook.

"Father, I'll make it for you to taste tonight, I promise it's no worse than rabbit meat."

Hearing Mingyu's words, Mingyong couldn't help swallowing.The taste of the rabbit meat last night was so delicious. I still can't stop thinking about it until now. This food is actually better than rabbit meat. Ming Yong hopes that the time will go faster.

Mingyong suddenly remembered that he found a large nest of bamboo rats today, and he and the Chen brothers even killed several of them, which should not be wasted.Reaching out, he took the pannier from Mingyu's hand, and said:

"Come, come, there are quite a few more here, all of which were found and killed when we were chopping bamboo just now." He said and walked forward with Mingyu.

Sure enough, there were seven or eight bamboo rats lying on the ground. Since they were all beaten to death with a bamboo stick, the fur on the surface was not damaged at all.

After picking up all the bamboo rats into the basket, Mingyu realized that she couldn't carry them back.

Mingyong naturally discovered this problem, and said
"Mingyu, you can play nearby first. It will be noon later, and the fathers will go back with you."

Mingyu nodded.It just so happens that I can dig some bamboo shoots first, and then come back in the afternoon and carry them back slowly.So he told Ming Yong about his previous thoughts.
"Father, I saw so many bamboo shoots in the forest, and I thought about digging some back, drying them in the sun, and keeping them as food storage. Anyway, it's cheap, delicious, and durable, so it's okay to save some at home. "

Ming Yong looked at the new bamboo shoots all over the floor, and thought so, anyway, the things made by his daughter are not as bad as that, and the bamboo shoots are indeed delicious.From the royal family to the common people, there is no one who does not like to store food.As long as there are conditions, we will save as much as possible.

Mingyong agreed, and asked Mingyu to dig near here, and then he and the Chen brothers went to cut bamboo.Mingyong reckoned that if he came again tomorrow, the bamboo building would need almost all the bamboo.

Mingyu turned around and went to dig bamboo shoots.However, Mingyu paid great attention to selecting the right ones among the piles of bamboo shoots, and also paid attention to leaving some bamboo shoots, so as not to dig all of them.

It was almost time to go home, and the Chen brothers saw Mingyu dug up a pile of bamboo shoots, so they took off their coats, wrapped the bamboo shoots, and carried them back one by one.

Originally, Mingyu planned to run a few more times by herself in the afternoon, but now it seems unnecessary.In the afternoon, they can let the two brothers pick out baskets, and dig more by themselves, and pick them back in the afternoon.

At noon, Mingyu asked Mingyong to skin all the bamboo rats and get out all the things he wanted.I plan to cook one for them at noon, another one at night, and dry the rest for storage.

Mingyu remembered when she was a child, every time her grandfather set traps in the fields to catch mice, and then cleaned the fur and internal organs of the mice.Put it in a fire place to dry with smoke.Take one or two if you want to eat.wash off.Cut into small chunks.It is best to use tea seed oil.Saute the meat and add paprika.Delicious.Fragrant and spicy.Delicious.Delicacy from childhood.Salivating.
