Chapter 407 I almost stepped on it!
Sure enough, "Jered rat meat! Delicious!" Xiaoshuan ate it in two bites.
"It smells really good!" Xiaoxiang showed off quickly.
"It smells delicious." Xiao Tong was enjoying the meal.
San Ya reached out and tore off the jerky in her mouth, then reached out and took out a piece from her pocket and put it in Guo Xiuxiu's hand: "Mom, you eat rat jerky and ignore Dad!"
When Lu Cheng ate the dried rat meat, he felt a little disgusted, but it tasted really salty and fragrant, with sesame seeds on it.
Thinking about the current conditions, Lu Cheng didn't mind it anymore. He ate it in one gulp. That was it.
Uncle Zhang put a lot of effort into making the rat jerky, and it tastes great.
Lu Cheng thought about it again.
At this time, the wild wolves were beaten so hard by Sun Sanwen and his men that they dared not come near the farm.
But after the wild wolf left, Sun Sanwen said that the mountain was infested with rats.
Rats running around everywhere!
No, people who don’t eat rat meat are not people of this era.
Let’s just do it.
Lu Cheng said, "I'll catch a lot of mice later and let you guys eat as much jerky as you want!"
San Ya smiled sweetly and said, "Second brother, you keep your promise. I am waiting to eat rat jerky!"
"Okay, little girl, I'll show you how powerful my second brother is!"
Xiao Shuan immediately said, "Brother Ercheng, I want to learn how to catch mice, too!"
"Okay, I'll take you with me!"
After Lu Cheng finished his meal, he started busying himself at home making a small box for catching mice.
It is a small box with a small door on the mouth that will automatically close when a mouse gets in.
Put some rice in it to lure the mice in.
Once it’s done, put it in the kitchen.
The next morning, Lu Cheng got up early and went to the kitchen to check. As a result, Xiao Shuan also arrived in the kitchen early: "Brother Ercheng, there is a mouse in the small box, there are mice in both boxes!"
Lu Cheng said: "Be careful, let me catch the mouse!"
Lu Cheng took a thick cloth and held down the mouse.
Xiao Shuan's face turned red with excitement: "Wow, a big rat! So big!"
"Xiao Shuan, quickly open the lid of the boiling water pot."
Lu Cheng used his other hand to catch the mouse from another wooden box.
He threw them both into the pot of boiling water, quickly closed the lid, pressed it, and let the boiling water scald the mice to death.
After the mouse squeaked, the sound stopped after a while.
Xiaoshuan's eyes tightened slightly: "Brother Ercheng, the mouse is not chirping anymore? Is it dead?"
"Cover it again, so that you can remove the mouse's hair later!"
After covering it for a while, Lu Cheng opened the lid and took out two fat mice.
There was no way. At this time, the wild wolf was too smart and chased the wild goat to a farther place. If we chased it, it would be more difficult.
Just think about it, if you go hunting far away for several days, by the time you bring the prey back, the meat is no longer fresh.
During this period of lean season, the best option is to use pheasant, rabbit, and mouse meat as meat.
Lu Cheng processed the rat meat carefully.
Finally, cut it into small pieces, skewer it with bamboo sticks, and grill it there.
Keep brushing with oil and sauce.
This kind of baked food is particularly fragrant, with plenty of oil and ingredients.
But it can't be put in the pocket because of too much oil.
Early in the morning, there was a plate of roasted rat meat, another pot of red bean porridge and steamed buns.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
Lu Cheng symbolically took a bite of rat meat.
He really couldn't eat it.
Because if he didn't have some rat meat to eat, he would seem too out of touch with reality.
But when asked to eat rat meat, he really doesn't like it at all.
He still likes to eat chicken and rabbit.
I have never liked mice because they look so disgusting and they steal rice and grains.
My younger brothers and sisters and my parents all ate a lot of rat meat.
But Lu Cheng said, "You can't eat too much rat meat. I'll go hunting and eat at least chicken and rabbit meat. What do you think is better, rat meat or chicken or rabbit meat?"
They all said in unison: "Rat meat is delicious, but we prefer chicken and rabbit meat!"
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go hunting soon, and we'll see what we can eat tonight!"
Lu Cheng was taking a day off, so after dinner he took his gun and knife and went out. This time he also took Xiaoshuan with him.
Xiaoshuan also took a gun and a knife and loaded some bullets.
The two men walked for a while and did not encounter any wild wolves or even wild goats.
During July, wild goats will go to the water source, probably around Wolfback Mountain.
If Lu Cheng went there to hunt, the meat he brought back would be inedible.
It would be almost the same if the meat was dried locally and brought back.
Lu Cheng took Xiaoshuan to Shungouling, where there were some guards.
Everyone ate some wild fruits, such as peaches, pears, and some sour fruits.
"Everyone is eating poorly now. We haven't caught any big prey in a while."
Lu Cheng said, "Just hold on, it will be fine after this period of time. After a month, the wild goats will return and everything will be fine."
Lu Cheng took some stones and led Xiaoshuan into the mountains to ambush.
I waited for half an hour in the area where most pheasants were found.
Sure enough, there were a few pheasants eating grass carefully.
Lu Cheng said, "Xiaoshuan, it depends on your luck. How many pheasants we can catch depends on our accuracy."
In their hands they held stones of suitable sizes.
Suddenly, the stone flew out.
Hit the pheasant's vital points.
Lu Cheng threw out five stones, hitting three pheasants: "Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Add two stones and they will fall to the side.
Xiaoshuan also threw a stone at that time and was lucky enough to hit a pheasant.
"Great, Ercheng, we hunted four pheasants!"
"Very good! Go pick up the pheasant and let's go home."
Don’t be fooled by the fact that it only took less than an hour to hunt the pheasant.
But it took them more than two hours to walk through the deep mountains.
Going back and forth also takes time.
But Xiaoshuan seemed very happy because Lu Cheng was with him!
Xiaoshuan walked briskly. Lu Cheng asked, "Xiaoshuan, is there anyone bullying you at school?"
Xiaoshuan said with clear eyes: "Brother Ercheng, no one bullies me. My classmates are all very nice to me. And because I am your younger brother, many of them envy me. Sometimes I can even bring them some chicken feathers, and they use them to make shuttlecocks!"
Lu Cheng said approvingly: "Xiao Shuan is really good, he knows how to recycle waste. It's hard for others to find chicken feathers, but we still have some at home!"
As they were talking, a blue snake blocked the way in front of the two people: "Xiaoshuan, don't move!"
Xiaoshuan almost stepped on it.
I saw that the snake was about four fingers thick, and it was stretched on the road, sliding slowly and quietly.
Lu Cheng quickly released the two-headed cobra from his arm.
When the snake saw it, it said, Snake King?
It didn't dare to attack Xiaoshuan anymore and left quickly.
"The advantage of a two-headed cobra is that if you encounter another snake, just let it out and you'll be safe!"
Xiao Shuan grabbed a pheasant, wiped the sweat off his hand and said, "It was so scary, I almost stepped on it!"
