Chapter 1407 Earth Mutton

"Xuemei, did you notice? Tang Qi and Shen Mengyin smelled of this soap last time!"

“It’s exactly the same, smell it!” Mengyue said, putting the soap to Qin Xuemei’s nose.

"That's right!" Qin Xuemei sniffed it, then suddenly realized, "No wonder they come to Camp 1 so often, so that's why!"

"Yes, they're so disloyal! They kept it from us for so long!" Mengyue said angrily.

"No, we must interrogate them thoroughly when we get back!"

"Yes, interrogate him thoroughly!" Qin Xuemei originally wanted to say that she should ask Lin Hao directly, but it was not appropriate to ask about such a private matter as taking a bath directly. It would be more appropriate to go back and ask Shen Mengyin and Tang Qi instead.

After taking a bath and washing their hair, the two women felt refreshed and invigorated. They hadn't had a proper bath in all the days they had been in Bashang.

Firstly, boiling water is somewhat inconvenient and wasteful; secondly, the weather is too cold, and one might catch a cold.

Therefore, they could only wipe themselves down in their dorm room at most; this was the first time they had taken such a refreshing shower.

Although they washed their hair while showering, they also experienced the wonderful feeling of lying on the shampoo bed. Both of them praised it highly, saying that Lin Hao was very skillful.

When Qin Xuemei and Mengyue returned to the main camp, they indeed interrogated Shen Mengyin and Tang Qi severely.

As expected, the interrogation revealed that they had all taken baths at Lin Hao's place, and more than once, which made Ji Xiurong even more eager to go.

So on the fourth day, Ji Xiurong, Tang Qi, and Shen Mengyin went to Camp 1 together.

However, Ji Xiurong went to take a shower, while Tang Qi and Shen Mengyin simply washed their hair, mainly because they had showered just two days ago.

While Ji Xiurong was taking a shower, Lin Hao seized the opportunity to thoroughly wash Tang Qi and Shen Mengyin's hair for an hour.

The main reason is that Ji Xiurong hasn't taken a bath in a long time, so she'll definitely take the opportunity to have a good, relaxing bath, since there's enough water.

When Ji Xiurong finished washing up and came out, Tang Qi and Shen Mengyin were helping each other blow-dry their hair.

The three women, now radiant, helped each other dry their hair. On the way back to the main camp, Ji Xiurong took Lin Hao's arm and said:
"Brother Lin, can I still come here to take a bath in the future? Or even just to wash my hair!"

"No problem, just not too often!" Lin Hao explained with a smile.
"That wind turbine has relatively low power and the battery has limited energy storage. There are quite a few of you, so it would be best to take turns."

"Thank you so much, Brother Lin!" Ji Xiurong said excitedly, holding Lin Hao's hand.

······
The seventh day arrived before we knew it, and the snow fell heavily, just as expected.

Fortunately, everyone has moved into the cafeteria. The boys and girls each occupy a corner of the cafeteria, and to prevent any awkwardness, a curtain is used to separate them.

The blizzard lasted for three days and showed no signs of stopping. But that wasn't the main problem; the real issue was that supplies hadn't arrived.

Lin Hao, Zhao Tianshan, and Feng Cheng were all in the cafeteria, discussing their next steps.

Lin Hao called out to Lao Wei, "Lao Wei, come here for a second!"

"Coming! What's up, Captain Lin?" Old Wei emerged from the kitchen.

Lin Hao asked, "When should the Forestry Bureau's supply truck arrive?"

Old Wei said solemnly, "As agreed last time, we should have arrived three days before the snow!"

"That's not right!" Lin Hao said, feigning doubt, even though he knew it was possible.

"Logically, those seven days should have been sunny, which would have been a good time to deliver supplies, but it has snowed for three days now, which means they are six days late!"

"Something must have been holding us back!" Zhao Tianshan said uncertainly.

"When they wanted to send supplies, a blizzard started, so they didn't have time. Maybe they'll send supplies once the snow stops!"

"Let's hope so!" Feng Cheng said with some worry, "But what if it doesn't come up?"

"How many more days do we have enough food to last?" Lin Hao added at the end.

"According to the quantitative standard, it should only take two days!" Old Wei said after doing some mental calculations.

"If this snow doesn't stop in two days, the car will be delayed for several more days!" Lin Hao said with some worry.

“We encountered this situation during our first year on the dam. In the end, we hunted on the dam, and because there were few of us, we managed to make it down the mountain to deliver supplies!”

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Tianshan decided, "How about this, starting tomorrow, we'll reduce the amount of staple food and increase the supply of non-staple food to save some grain!"

"I think it's a good idea!" Lin Hao nodded, then added:
"However, we need to make things clear to the college students beforehand and put the issues out in the open. It is precisely at times like these that we need to unite and not keep things bottled up inside!"

Everyone nodded in agreement with Lin Hao's words. At this moment, Old Wei said with emotion:
"If we could have some meat, everyone would be so happy. We haven't had any oily food since we had dumplings last time!"

Lin Hao said with some emotion, "It's a pity the snow outside is too thick now, otherwise I could have Xiao Huang catch a few rabbits or something!"

At this moment, Feng Cheng thought for a moment, made up his mind, and then solemnly said:
"Here's what we'll do. I still have some grain that Lao Liu gave me, hazelnuts and potatoes, as well as some mutton. But they're all at Camp 2. I'll go get them in a bit!"

"There's meat too!" The eyes of the others lit up when they heard there was meat to eat, but Lin Hao didn't care. It wasn't any real meat.

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "It might not be safe for you to go to the old camp alone. Why don't you accompany Feng Cheng there, Captain?"

“Alright, leave this to me!” Zhao Tianshan said with great enthusiasm.

Afterwards, Zhao Tianshan accompanied Feng Cheng to the old camp, but due to the deep snow, the two were unable to return before dark when they arrived at the old camp.

So they had to make do at the old campsite for one night and didn't return until the next morning. Afterwards, Lao Wei rushed to make lunch.

So at noon, Lao Wei brought out a basin of meat, and Zhao Tianshan brought out a basket of steamed buns and placed them on the table in the middle of the canteen.

"Here it is, stewed potatoes and pork, it smells so good!"

"Come on, make way, make way!"

"Come on, come on!"

"Captain, what's the occasion today? Are we having a special meal again?" Sui Zhichao asked with a smitten look on his face as he looked at the half-full bowl of meat and vegetables.

"Wow!" Several girls cheered in unison.

"It's not a special meal today, but the dishes are definitely hearty!" Zhao Tianshan chuckled, then said somewhat awkwardly:
"So we have to halve our staple food portions until the supplies arrive!"

"No problem!" Sui Zhichao said with a smile, "As long as the dishes are good, whether or not we eat staple food is not an issue!"

"Exactly!" Da Kui said excitedly, "The portions are big today, as long as we're full!"

Zhao Tianshan then looked at the girls and asked, "What about you female comrades?"

Shen Mengyin also said with a smile, "We already eat very little staple food, so I agree with increasing the amount of side dishes!"

"Mmm, yes, yes, yes!" The other girls nodded in agreement. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start eating!" Zhao Tianshan gave the order, and everyone picked up their chopsticks to eat.

"Oh, oh, oh, time to start eating!"

"This pinched my hand! It pinched my hand!"

"It smells so good!"

Mengyue took a bite and was amazed by the taste of the meat, so she asked curiously:

"What kind of meat is this? I don't think I've ever eaten it before!"

"That's right!" Qin Xuemei tasted it, then smiled and imagined, "Could this be the legendary roe deer meat?"

"Look at all the fuss you're making about! Old Wei is in charge of everything in the kitchen!" Zhao Tianshan raised an eyebrow, deflecting the question and pretending to know nothing.

"Eat as much as you like!"

"Comrade Feng Cheng, please tell us, what kind of meat is this?" Ji Xiurong asked Feng Cheng.

"Why are you asking me?" Feng Cheng said somewhat guiltily.

"I saw it all!" Ji Xiurong said slyly, "You went out with Captain Zhao yesterday, and came back early this morning with a bag of things!"

"Tell me, what is it?!"

"Keep it a secret!" Feng Cheng refused to tell, no matter what.

"Captain Zhao, please tell us!" Shen Mengyin said, looking completely bewildered.

"When I write to my mom later, I can tell her what kind of delicacies I ate!"

Actually, Shen Mengyin originally wanted to ask Lin Hao, but she was afraid that others would notice their relationship, so she immediately changed her mind and asked Zhao Tianshan.

Zhao Tianshan was completely numb. This thing was rare, but the woman probably couldn't handle it, so he gave an awkward laugh and said:
"It's a secret. If you like it, eat as much as you want!"

"Hey, if you don't pick some more, they'll all be gone. Hurry up and eat!" Zhao Tianshan pointed to the almost empty bowl of meat.

"Mmm, it's so delicious!" Shen Mengyin didn't hesitate too much, after all, the meat really did taste good.

So he subconsciously picked up a piece of meat for Lin Hao and said, "Here, Brother Lin, eat more and satisfy your craving!"

"Um, you eat it!" Lin Hao swallowed hard and awkwardly declined, "You guys eat more!"

To be honest, Lin Hao would never eat Zehai sheep, or groundhog meat, unless it was absolutely necessary or even an emergency; he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.

Of course, Lin Hao doesn't object to others eating. If someone is really starving to death, they will definitely eat.

But his space also contained countless foods, including chicken, duck, fish and meat, not only unprocessed raw materials, but also finished or semi-finished products.

For Lin Hao, who has no shortage of food, it is difficult to accept gopher meat.

"Why? This meat is so delicious!" Shen Mengyin said, picking up another long strip of meat.

Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the meat; it looked somewhat familiar.

"Ahhhhhh!"

“That’s a rat’s tail!” Da Kui exclaimed instinctively, his eyes wide.

"It's rat meat!" Shen Mengyin was so frightened that she threw away the ground squirrel's tail and jumped aside in fear.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xuemei and Mengyue felt a sudden nausea, and the other girls also couldn't help but vomit.

The gopher's tail that had just fallen to the ground was eaten by the sneaky dog ​​Saturday. Since the people had nothing to eat, the dog naturally had nothing to eat either.

If Lin Hao hadn't taken pity on him and given him some food while feeding Xiao Huang, he probably would have starved to death.

However, Lin Hao didn't just feed them on Saturdays; he also fed Shen Mengyin and Tang Qi from time to time, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

After a while, the girls felt a little better, but the boys didn't seem to have any reaction.

What time is it now? If supplies can't be delivered, we should be grateful to have food at all. We have no right to complain.

At this moment, Shen Mengyin looked at Lin Hao and asked:

"Brother Lin, do you know this is rat meat, which is why you don't eat it!"

Lin Hao said with a helpless expression:

"Strictly speaking, this is not rat meat, but ground squirrel meat, which is also called ground sheep meat on the plateau!"

"Earth sheep?" Shen Mengyin thought for a moment and said:
"I majored in pest and disease control. There is an animal in Bashang called the ground sheep, but it is a rodent that gnaws on tree roots. What's the difference between it and a rat?"

Shen Mengyin looked at Lin Hao with a resentful expression, complaining that he hadn't reminded her at all.

Lin Hao explained with a helpless expression:
"To give an example, the relationship between pandas and bears: although they are both bears, pandas eat bamboo and are herbivores, while bears eat everything, including fish, deer, berries, honey, insects, carrion, etc., and are carnivores!"

"Besides, this meat was given to Feng Cheng by Old Liu. Old Liu treats Feng Cheng like his own son. He wouldn't harm Feng Cheng, would he?"

"If our supplies hadn't been delayed, they wouldn't have offered it up for everyone to eat!"

"And if this snow continues, even if the blizzard stops, our supplies won't be able to get here anytime soon, so let's eat while we can!"

After hearing Lin Hao's explanation, the girls felt much better. After all, pandas are so cute and lovable.

And since bears are so scary, and even humans are on their diet, thinking about it like that made me feel much better!
At this point, Sui Zhichao also chimed in:

"I forgot to tell you before, my husband is from Tianjin and my mother is from Guangdong. When I was a child, I would go to my maternal grandparents' house for meals, and I even ate real rats, let alone this mutton!"

"Shen Mengyin, don't forget, I also studied pest and disease control. Those desert sheep are the biggest enemy of the high-altitude desert!"

"Let's eat it, then we'll have one less natural enemy when we plant trees next year. Why don't you eat it? I'm really craving it!" Sui Zhichao tempted.
"Never mind you guys, Brother Wei, give me another spoonful!"

Zhao Tianshan then explained:
"Comrades, this is indeed local mutton. It's my fault as the brigade leader for not making it clear to you beforehand!"

"I'm sorry!" After bowing to everyone in apology, Zhao Tianshan continued:
"Now that we've figured it out, let me explain the situation. The supply truck from the bureau might not be able to arrive on time due to the heavy snow!"

"We don't have enough food. I'm worried that you'll go hungry if we run out of food, so I had no choice but to resort to this!"

"Actually, this was Feng Cheng's initiative to contribute. I'm a rough guy, and as our logistics captain, my first thought was how to make sure everyone was well-fed. Therefore, I didn't consider the feelings of you women. Please forgive me!"

Zhao Tianshan's words made the girls even more embarrassed, so Qin Xuemei took the initiative to speak:

"I'm so sorry, actually the mutton here is quite delicious, it's just that I was startled just now and it was an instinctive reaction. I'm sorry everyone!"
