Chapter 36
Ding Xiang glanced at the backs of Chu Rui and Wan'er who had already gone away, then turned to Ding Laozhong and said, "Father, don't talk so much, let's go home early. Get a good sleep in the afternoon, and I'll take care of you in the evening." There are other things planned."

Ding Laozhong weighed the food on his back, and asked curiously as he strode along with Ding Xiang: "What else is there tonight?"

"I'll take you to the forest to catch bamboo rats." Ding Xiang smiled, "I went to the forest yesterday and saw a lot of bamboo rat droppings. I think there must be several litters of bamboo rats in this ten-acre bamboo forest. Dad, you guys I don't know if you have seen this thing before?"

The bamboo rat is a good thing. There are only two animals in the world that use bamboo as food. One is the giant panda and the other is the bamboo rat.

The taste of bamboo rat is very delicious, and its meat is the best dish in the south, and the price is very high.

The unit price sometimes reaches 200 yuan per catty. The price of fur is also very expensive, and the unit price of the leather shoes and clothes produced is very high.The price should be about the same here.

"What is a bamboo mouse?" Ding Laozhong frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be that you mean the bamboo root mouse in the forest?"

"Yeah, that's the one." Ding Xiang nodded hurriedly, "Father, have you seen it?"

Seeing Ding Laozhong nodded, Ding Xiang asked again: "Then have you eaten?"

Ding Laozhong shook his head, "I haven't eaten it, but I think it's coming soon. If there is no rain in this disaster year, the autumn crops will be wiped out. When winter comes and the snow falls, everyone will have to dig mice to eat."

"At that time, even the bark will have to be eaten, not to mention the meaty things like rats and snakes, I'm afraid people will eat them up. Bamboo roots, rats are fat and strong. I used to hate them, but when I'm hungry, my intestines will knot. When, who cares about that."

Ding Xiang smiled and said: "You don't have to wait until your hungry intestines get knotted. You can eat it anytime. It's a delicious dish. When we were in the palace, the masters ate it. You see, even the nobles ate it. Let's eat it." What else can country people dislike?"

"Besides, although the bamboo rat is called a mouse, it is completely different from the kind of rats in the field and at home. The bamboo rat eats bamboo and is very clean."

"Father, don't worry, the bamboo rat is not only a delicious dish, but the fur can also be sold for a good price. I just don't know if there are any people in our village or nearby counties who rub the fur?"

Ding Laozhong nodded, "You don't need to look for it, just give it to the family that slaughtered sheep in our village. Someone will collect the sheepskins from his family."

Ding Xiang was relieved, "Well, Dad, when we find a few litters and raise them well, we can't just rely on wild ones in the field, then there will be a few."

"You want to raise that thing?" Ding Laozhong asked in surprise, "How do you raise mice? The family has no food to eat."

Ding Xiang was upset, "Father, did you hear me clearly? I told you, this is not a mouse but a bamboo mouse. It doesn't eat food, but eats the bamboo in our backyard to survive. It doesn't cost us anything to raise it. Food, as long as it is raised well, you can make money by killing meat and selling fur. Maybe our whole family will rely on it to make a fortune.”

Seeing that his daughter was angry, Ding Laozhong was also a little unhappy, and muttered: "Yesterday, I said that I would earn ten thousand hectares of fertile land by selling medicinal materials, but now it's good, and today it's like raising rats. You, you don't rely on what you say." Spectrum. Just like before, I always think of high places in everything I do, and I don’t want to farm at all.”
