Chapter 66 Bamboo Rat

When Liu Yinyin heard about bamboo shoots, she became motivated. As long as there were bamboo shoots to dig, it wouldn't be a bad idea to just walk around.

After resting for a while, several people continued to move forward.

After about twenty minutes, I saw a bamboo forest in front of me. It was a dense and green bamboo forest that seemed to have no end.

"Wow..." Liu Dazhuang opened his mouth in surprise and said, "It turns out there is such a large bamboo forest here."

He had never heard anyone say there was a bamboo forest here in his life.

Liu Yinyin couldn't take her eyes off it at this moment. This month was a good time for bamboo shoots to break out of the ground.

There are really a lot of bamboo shoots in the forest. At a glance, it is full of densely packed bamboo shoots, which is so attractive.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "No, I'll just dig bamboo shoots here today."

She immediately put aside the idea of ​​digging wild vegetables. There were so many bamboo shoots, so what else did she need?

Liu Dazhuang said reluctantly: "Uncle, are we here to dig bamboo shoots today?"

Although digging bamboo shoots is not bad, compared to hunting...it is really not as good as it seems.

Gu Cheng looked around, and then he realized something, picked up a small stone from the ground, and threw it forward suddenly...

With a "whoosh" sound, a furry thing flashed past in front of me.

"It's a bamboo rat!" Liu Dazhuang's eyes were sharp. He recognized the little creature that just jumped past. His eyes lit up instantly and he said excitedly, "Uncle, there are bamboo rats in this forest."

Nowadays, there are no taboos about what to eat. Not only the bamboo rats that grow up eating bamboo in the forest, but even mice in the house are eaten by people!

Liu Yinyin's smile froze: "......"

Oh my God, she just wanted to dig some bamboo shoots, can you please let her go?

Gu Cheng also became interested and said to Liu Yinyin, "Shall we go catch bamboo rats?"

Liu Yinyin shook her head in a wavy manner: "You...you guys go ahead, I'll just stay here and dig bamboo shoots!"

You could say she was being hypocritical, but bamboo rats look quite similar to mice, and Liu Yinyin felt a little scared when she saw them.

It is indeed difficult for her to catch bamboo rats.

"Uncle, let's go catch him." Liu Dazhuang was ready to take action.

He just saw it. The bamboo rat looked very fat, probably about three or four kilograms.

This is all meat!

Bamboo rat meat is tender and no worse than pork.

Gu Cheng's eyes showed a hint of hesitation: "Can you do it alone?"

Liu Yinyin nodded her head in a clamorous tone: "I'll just be digging bamboo shoots here. I won't be going anywhere. You guys just do your own things."

She actually wanted to stay away from them. Maybe she could even secretly sell some bamboo shoots to the system.

There are so many bamboo shoots here, it would be a pity not to dig some more.

Gu Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, we won't go far. Just call me if you have any questions."

He just took a careful look and found no feces or footprints of large animals nearby, so it was relatively safe.

When Liu Yinyin saw them catching bamboo rats, she immediately squatted down and started digging bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest were all long bamboo shoots, which grew outside and were easy to dig.

Just use a hoe to dig up the bamboo shoots.

After a while, Liu Yinyin dug up a pile of bamboo shoots, weighing more than ten pounds.

She looked up and saw that they were catching bamboo rats not far away and were not paying attention to her.

Liu Yinyin had an idea and sold half of the bamboo shoots to the system.

In addition to bamboo shoots, there are also bamboo fungi in the forest, but not many. Liu Yinyin picked some bamboo fungi and put them in a basket.

Bamboo fungus is as delicious as wild mushrooms, so I won’t sell it to the system. I’ll keep the good stuff for myself.

If the conditions are met at home, she won't let herself down.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Liu Yinyin’s hands were sore from digging bamboo shoots.

Only then did we stop to rest. The bamboo shoots beside us had already piled up into a small hill.

Liu Yinyin didn't dare to go too far and only secretly sold 50 kilograms of bamboo shoots to the system.

There were about 100 kilograms of bamboo shoots piled on the ground, and a full basket of bamboo fungus.

To her shame, she didn't have much money in her system to begin with. She had spent a lot of money on food before, and during the time she had a child and was raising him, she was always spending more than she earned.

Including the fifty kilograms of bamboo shoots she just sold, the remaining balance in her system was only about five thousand yuan.

It's really a bit poor...

But Liu Yinyin is quite open-minded. She is not greedy and is happy as long as the money she earns is enough for her to use.

"Teacher Yinyin, come over and help..."

Liu Yinyin was thinking deeply when she was suddenly interrupted by Liu Dazhuang.

When I came to my senses, I saw Gu Cheng and Liu Dazhuang coming over, each carrying a large sack.

There were many bamboo rats in this bamboo forest, and they had a good harvest.

I saw that the sack was bulging with material, obviously filled with bamboo rats.

Liu Yinyin's mouth twitched: "......"

I don't know why these two people caught so many bamboo rats.

Anyway, she didn't dare to eat it.

He walked forward and helped Liu Dazhuang carry the bag over.

Liu Dazhuang's face flushed with excitement, although...

Although most of the bamboo rats were caught by Gu Cheng, he also contributed.

"Are you hungry?" Gu Cheng asked Liu Yinyin.

Liu Yinyin took Gu Cheng's hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was already past eleven o'clock.

Lunch time is almost here, and it's too late to go back and eat now.

"Uncle, I'm starving." Liu Dazhuang chattered. He was only 70% full in the morning.

After a whole morning of climbing mountains and catching bamboo rats, both of which were physically demanding activities, Liu Dazhuang's stomach was already growling with hunger.

Liu Yinyin said awkwardly: "...I didn't bring any food."

She didn't expect to stay in the mountains for so long. When she came, she only brought a water bottle.

Gu Cheng said directly: "We can find a place to light a fire and barbecue."

Today's harvest is quite rich. There are so many things. I have to eat enough to have the strength to carry them back.

When Liu Dazhuang heard about eating barbecue, he quickly agreed: "I think it's okay. There is a river just over there."

He was so happy. Today's trip was really worth it. Not only did he catch so many bamboo rats, but he also had barbecue to eat.

On weekdays, he and his friends could only catch birds and take their eggs in the mountains, and the little meat they got was not enough to fill their stomachs.

Liu Yinyin asked nervously, "Roasted bamboo rat meat?"

Gu Cheng smiled and asked, "Don't you like it?"

He also noticed that his daughter-in-law's face became very conflicted when she heard about catching and eating bamboo rats.

Liu Yinyin nodded awkwardly: "Yes... a little bit."

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "I caught a pheasant for you in the bag, and roasted another one."

Liu Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay then."

Roast pheasant sounds good.

There was a small river not far away. A few people put their things there and caught a pheasant and two bamboo rats passing by.

It was obviously not the first time for Gu Cheng to have a barbecue in the mountains, and he quickly lit a fire.

After the pheasant and bamboo rat meat are prepared, they are roasted over the fire using long wooden sticks.

While waiting for the meat to cook, Liu Yinyin dug some wild vegetables nearby. The soil by the river was moist, so the wild vegetables grew a lot.
