Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 157 Catching Bamboo Rat

Although they didn't get No.2, their town middle school had two second prizes, and Zhao Lin was among them.There are ten third prizes, which means that half of the students from their school who took the exam this time won the prize.

According to the domestic average level, the grades of the middle school in the town are actually the best. Unfortunately, the total score of the statistics is based on the number of award-winning students and the average grade.

It's not a fair stat at all, but it's less important to other schools.

Zhang Tao and the others knew the results the next afternoon. It was still the same as in the previous life. There were no prizes or certificates, just like they had never passed the test.

As long as the students who have participated know that there was such a competition in their junior high school career, perhaps more people should just forget about this three-subject league.

With the arrival of December, the weather is getting colder, and it will rain from time to time. This kind of weather in southern Shonan is the most annoying.

It was cold and wet, and it was inconvenient to do anything.People have also become lazy and don't want to move much, they just want to stay at home and warm up.

By the end of the week, the weather has turned fine and the long-lost sun has come out.After Zhang Tao came back from exercising outside, several members of the family were already preparing breakfast.

This kind of life has become a habit now. Zhang Tao's mother doesn't have any fixed working hours. She can go out when she has something to do, and stay at home when she has nothing to do.

There is still a difference between rural cadres like them and formal civil servants. They are basically idle, and there is not much to do except rack their brains to make money.

But it's obviously not the case for Zhang Tao's mother. She is busy with many things, such as several farms in the brigade, and various planting projects. She has to follow up.

All these things need her to decide, otherwise other people don't have her prestige.I heard that the higher ups are setting up a March [-] red flag bearer for my mother, saving the top ten model workers and so on.These Zhang Tao only heard from his mother, and he is not very clear about the specific situation.

"When the sun came out, I climbed the hillside, and when I reached the top of the mountain, I wanted to sing, and the singing wafted to my sister..."

Just after breakfast and putting down the bowl, a noise sounded at the door of Zhang Tao's house.With this unique and trendy sign, Zhang Tao knew who was coming without even thinking about it.

"Zhang Tao! Zhang Tao! I found a good thing, how about we go together later? Wang Xiaofan and the others go there together."

The singing of the visitor still stopped at the door, and then Wang Zhongqiu pushed the door in and shouted at Zhang Tao, not caring about Zhang Tao's identity as the little overlord at all.

He was the only guy who was not frightened by Zhang Tao's various fights, because he was very nervous, and because the two had been playing together since they opened their crotch pants.The other friends were a little bit cowering when they saw Zhang Tao, after all, Zhang Tao's reputation was too fierce.

"What do you want to do?"

There are not many places where this guy can say good things, because of family reasons, this guy still has good taste in playing.So if he said it was a good thing, it would definitely be a more interesting thing, so Zhang Tao was a little curious.

"Over the bamboo forest in the back mountain, I passed by that day and found a few holes with dirt. There must be bamboo rats in there. How about we go catch bamboo rats together?"

Wang Zhongqiu's family didn't have the tools to catch these things, so if he wanted to catch them, he had to find Zhang Tao, who had more ideas than him.

"Bamboo rat? Are you sure?"

Zhang Tao was immediately tempted after hearing this, and he really didn't know what this guy was thinking.There are bamboo rats in the bamboo forest here, but there are not many of them, and there are many places that can only be found in the big bamboo forest farther away.But that big bamboo forest is not suitable for catching bamboo rats because it is far away and there are too many miscellaneous trees.

Zhang Tao didn't expect that there were bamboo rats in the small bamboo forest on the side of his back mountain. This is a good thing.Not only is it delicious, but the fur on the bamboo rat is also valuable.

It’s just that it’s still not affordable at this time, but it’s delicious and you can eat it regardless of whether it’s worth it or not. For a foodie, this is very attractive.

"It must be a bamboo mouse. The mouse hole is not that big, and you can see eaten bamboo around. According to my research, it must be a nest of bamboo mice. There are probably several."

Wang Zhongqiu's talent lies in playing, this guy is very serious about playing everything, and he is good at playing, but he is not serious about studying, and his grades are not good.

This kind of person is born a second generation of playboys, but it is a pity that he was not born in a better family to allow him to continue to develop, otherwise he would be able to play in the sky and become a generation of playboys.

"Well, okay, let's take two cages over there, and I'll borrow two."

Bamboo rats are about the size of hares, and their teeth are very strong. It is really difficult for ordinary people to deal with them in the mud.Drilling holes is amazingly fast, as long as they jump out, they can quickly drill out another hole.

The cage that Zhang Tao borrowed was made of iron, and this kind of cage must be used for bamboo rats.If the cage is made of bamboo, it can only be used as food for those guys, and the cage can be broken and escaped with two blows.The pair of incisors of the bamboo rat are used for this purpose, a natural artifact.

After the things were ready, the group of people walked towards the bamboo forest in a mighty manner.After arriving at the place Wang Zhongqiu said, Zhang Tao took a closer look at the holes. They were indeed the bamboo rat's hole, so several people immediately separated to find out all the other holes, and then guarded one place alone.

Zhang Yan and Zhao Lin also followed. The two of them had never seen a bamboo rat before, so they came over curiously to have a look.Zhang Tao stood by with a cage, the opening of the cage facing the hole, and when the bamboo rat came out of the hole in smoke, he immediately put the cage away.

The person in charge of releasing the smoke took out a large bamboo tube that had been prepared earlier, drilled a small hole at one end, opened the other end, put rice husks and hay through the opening, lit the rice husks, put them into the cave, and then used mud to clean them. Seal the gap at the entrance of the cave, and blow air forcefully against the opening of the bamboo tube to let the smoke enter the cave.

The rest is to wait slowly. Generally, the holes of bamboo rats are very deep. This requires patience.After all the smoke enters the hole, the bamboo rat inside will crawl out from other holes when it is unbearable.

According to Zhang Tao's experience, the bamboo mouse hole they discovered this time did have a few in it, so the other holes that were supposed to be sealed were not sealed.

If it is sealed, it is inconvenient to leave a hole to catch, and it is easy to be run away by other bamboo rats or stay in the hole and cannot come out.The smoker over there was still blowing smoke into the cave. After a while, other caves started to emit smoke. At this time, he immediately put out the fire and blocked the cave.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was movement from the entrance of Zhang Tao's cave, and Zhang Tao immediately stared at the entrance of the cave closely.Soon a fat bamboo mouse rushed out of the hole, and then went into the iron cage.

Zhang Tao waited for it to react, put away the cage and closed the door, and a fat bamboo rat was in his hands.

Picking up the cage, I felt the weight of the bamboo rat inside. It was estimated to weigh three to four catties, and I had a big meal.At this time, Zhang Yan and Zhao Lin came over, maybe because there were too many mice in the countryside, they were more courageous than ordinary city girls.

Seeing such a big bamboo mouse was not intimidated, but looked curiously at the bamboo mouse in the cage.This was the first time they had seen this kind of guy. It was bigger than normal mice and about the size of a hare.

If it weren't for the pair of front teeth shining coldly from time to time, in fact, the appearance of the bamboo rat is a bit silly and cute, and it is very popular with girls.

It's a pity that the pair of front teeth are in bad shape. The two women just looked at it curiously and stopped paying attention.I'm afraid that if I accidentally get bitten by the pair of front teeth, it will be a tragedy.

After Zhang Tao's side first heard the movement, the other cave entrances also heard the movement, and the other three cave entrances also caught two, and one ran away.But what was unexpected was that after they collected four of them, a few more came out of the holes not long after. At this time, it depends on your eyesight and skill. Everyone has no tools in their hands and can only watch them helplessly. Ran.

Seeing that the others had run away, the three in the cage struggled immediately, no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't escape from the cage.

It's just that they can't bear it. If they can bear it better than the few who ran away, they won't be the ones in the cage now.

A total of three were caught, Zhang Tao divided one and there were two left, Wang Zhongqiu didn't want it, neither did the other two guys, so they gave Zhang Tao all three.

If they take it back, there is probably no place to close it, and what they make is not as delicious as Zhang Tao's, so it's better to let Zhang Tao's cook and eat.

Zhang Tao looked at the appearance of these guys, and twitched the corners of his mouth, all of them were eating in his own home, and their mouths were all in their mouths.But at this time, after eating the bamboo mouse, we need to add an ingredient to make it more delicious. The ingredient is not troublesome, just look for it in the bamboo forest all over the mountain.

Dry pot winter bamboo shoots and bamboo rats, this is a very special dish, and it has nutritional and medicinal value. Both bamboo rats and winter bamboo shoots have been listed in "Compendium of Materia Medica".There are very few stews here in southern Shonan. The general game is basically cooked in a dry pot. Put chili, garlic and ginger on it. The taste is really delicious.

Because Zhang Tao still had to dig winter bamboo shoots, he asked others to help him take the bamboo rat home first, after all, that thing needs an iron cage to hold it.

The other two were not very interested in digging winter bamboo shoots, which was much more difficult than catching bamboo rats. After catching bamboo rats, they happily went to Zhang Tao's house with three cages.

The hoe is ready-made, and they prepared a hoe when they were going to catch bamboo rats, and the bamboo forest is actually easy to dig after a long rain, so it is not a big problem.The difficulty lies in how to find the winter bamboo shoots, which are buried in the soil and cannot be found with the naked eye, it all depends on skill and experience.
