Chapter 277 The mouse sleeps in the cat's nest - not knowing whether to live or die
Shi Jiaojiao didn't know that this rat-catching operation had unexpectedly inspired Wang Jia and Tang Wei's ambition. She was looking at today's harvest with curiosity.
The giant rat meat doesn't smell strange, and its color is similar to the beef before the apocalypse.
I just don't know how it tastes.
Shi Jiaojiao looked up at Mu Ci: "Brother, how about we eat giant rat meat for lunch?"
Mu Ci didn't have any objections and asked, "How do you want to eat?"
Shi Jiaojiao hesitated for a while: "Stir-fry it?"
Mu Ci looked at the meat and said, "Let's make a soup with pickled radish, and then stir-fry the meat with Hangzhou pepper?"
Shi Jiaojiao nodded immediately.
Since it was the first time to cook giant rat meat, there was no recipe for the robot to scan, so Mu Ci did it himself this time.
The soup is simple to make, but the giant rat meat cannot be simply blanched like other meat. Instead, it must be boiled over high heat for ten minutes and then stewed with sour radish.
Although it may be a little old to do this, safety comes first.
After Mu Ci covered the casserole, he turned on low heat and let it simmer slowly, leaving the time to the little robot.
Stir-fried pork with Hangzhou pepper is a quick dish. You can prepare the ingredients in advance and stir-fry them before eating.
At noon, the two of them arrived at the space on time, and the whole room was filled with the smell of sour radish.
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and then looked at Mu Ci, who was wearing an apron, walking into the kitchen.
Just when she was about to lose her patience, Mu Ci came out with stir-fried pork with Hangzhou peppers.
Shi Jiaojiao opened the lid of the casserole, and the sour radish and giant rat meat soup was steaming.
The sour taste fermented in the thick soup, which was not strong but very refreshing. The giant rat meat was also more delicious than she had imagined. It was not at all tough and sticky due to being cooked at high temperature. And perhaps because the giant rats were very active, the meat was particularly firm and chewy, without any fishy smell.
A bite of meat, a bite of pickled radish and a bite of rice, it's simply amazing.
Shi Jiaojiao took a bite of the meat, with a happy expression on her face: "Brother, this is delicious, really!"
After taking a bite, Mu Ci was also a little surprised.
This giant red-eyed rat is quite unexpected in its appearance, strength and combat effectiveness.
He smiled and pushed the stir-fried pork with Hangzhou pepper in front of Shi Jiaojiao: "Try this again."
The giant rat meat is a bit dry after stir-frying, but not at all tough. Paired with the Hangzhou peppers that have been fried into tiger skins, it is spicy and appetizing. It is a real rice killer and so delicious that you will lick the plate.
After the meal, Shi Jiaojiao left the table holding her stomach.
This giant rat meat really surprised her.
Originally, she didn't plan to catch many red-eyed giant rats. After all, they were too dangerous and she would get stuck in them if she wasn't careful.
But after dinner, she changed her mind.
Wang Jia was afraid that the giant rat meat would rot in the high and low temperatures, so he quickly roasted it all into jerky.
Of course, the two of them ate while grilling.
For her and Tang Wei, the pressure of food rations was much greater than that for Shi Jiaojiao and the others.
But the giant rat's super strong fighting power in the morning made the two of them feel a little nervous.
It’s not that they are too timid, it’s just that the giant rat is too strong.
Food is important, but not as important as life!
But this thought gradually dissipated when I took the first bite of jerky.
They originally thought that giant rat meat was not very delicious. After all, if rats were delicious, they would have been eaten into an endangered species before the end of the world.
And they didn't catch the giant rats just for their own appetite.
It would have been fine since Wang Jia was a girl, but Tang was a grown man with a big appetite. However, he only ate staple food with very little oil and fat, and he would feel so hungry that he would have heartburn in the middle of the night.
But the tasteless giant rat meat that is only eaten for nutritional purposes and the extremely delicious giant rat meat are completely different concepts.
At this moment, the two of them began to get excited again.
Shi Jiaojiao was standing in the cave digesting her food when she suddenly heard the intercom making a buzzing sound.
As soon as the call was connected, Wang Jia's excited voice came from the receiver.
"Jiaojiao, have you eaten giant rat meat? If not, go and try it now, it's delicious!"
To be honest, she has always had good conditions since she was a child, and she has eaten countless kinds of delicious food.
But maybe it’s because there are fewer and fewer good things to eat in recent years, giant rat meat even ranks third in deliciousness in her mind.
Of course, the first and second dishes are made by the king’s father and mother.
Shi Jiaojiao smiled and said, "We also had lunch at noon."
After saying that, she also shared Mu Ci's approach with the other party.
Of course, what she was talking about was the giant rat meat soup with honey vegetables and the fried meat with dried chili peppers.
The honeydew and dried chili peppers were not very conspicuous, after all, Wang Jia also had them.
After listening to this, Wang Jia nodded repeatedly and even asked Shi Jiaojiao for specific instructions.
They roasted the meat to save water, and secondly, they were afraid that the giant rat meat would not taste good. If they made it into soup, wouldn't it be even harder to swallow?
But now it’s different. What’s wrong with stewing such delicious meat into soup occasionally!
And if you eat it with the soup, you can drink less water.
The two were discussing heatedly, and an idea popped up in Tang Wei's mind at this time, "Do you think this mouse can be raised artificially?"
As soon as these words were spoken, both ends of the intercom fell silent.
Wang Jia looked at Tang Wei with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Do you want to hear what nonsense you are talking about?
Keeping a giant rat around is like a mouse sleeping in a cat's bed, not knowing whether to live or die.
Shi Jiaojiao was also a little shocked at first, and she admired Tang Wei's imagination very much.
But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it might be possible.
The rats before the apocalypse had strong vitality and reproduced quickly. The reproductive capacity of the giant rats after the apocalypse is not yet known, but the fact that they can still wander around outside in high and low temperatures shows how strong their vitality is.
But it has strong vitality and its fighting power has also improved a lot. If you want to raise it, you must first consider the safety issue, otherwise it is not certain who will eat whom in the end.
But now, the giant rats are right at their doorstep, and it would be somewhat impolite if they didn't give it a try.
If they can really raise them successfully, then they can avoid going out and fighting with the giant rats. Wouldn't they have a constant supply of meat in the future?
The more Shi Jiaojiao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her.
Mu Ci next to him made the final decision: "I'll weld an iron cage with some unwanted steel bars. We'll see if it works after we catch him."
Next, the four of them began to summarize their experiences and lessons based on today’s battle with the giant rat.
Everyone knows that giant rats are fast, but humans have not mutated, and their speed cannot be increased in a short period of time.
Shi Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "If possible, we'd better make a trap, so that we can avoid contact with the giant rats and ensure our own safety as much as possible, and wait for them to fall into the trap."
Mu Ci said, "No matter what kind of trap it is, there must be bait. Judging from the giant rat's behavior today, it should like fresh blood and flesh."
Then the problem arose. Seeing that Shi Jiaojiao was enjoying her meal today, he simply cooked the remaining giant rat meat. However, Wang Jia and Tang Wei had no space to keep it fresh, and there would be no leftover meat.
