OBS Chapter 320: Catching Bamboo Rat
Chapter 320: Catching Bamboo Rat
Early the next morning.
"Wish girl, are you home?"
The gate was knocked.
Uncle Pan, carrying a backpack, wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted towards the courtyard gate.
"coming!"
Xu Zhi shook off the water droplets on his hands, wiped them on his sleeves, put the float back into the wooden barrel, and walked out of the kitchen.
"It's Xiaozhi, isn't your sister at home?"
When Uncle Pan saw that it was Xu Zhi who opened the door, he asked hurriedly.
"Grandpa Pan, come in and sit down. My sister is taking Dahua to the mountain now and won't be back so soon. What do you want to talk to me about? I'll wait for my sister to tell her."
Xu Zhi invited Uncle Pan to sit in the pavilion, brought some warm water and placed it on the table, and then sat down aside.
"Oh, it's nothing. I came here to give you some goodies."
Uncle Pan took out a small jar from the backpack at his feet and placed it on the table.
Xu Zhi asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Hahaha, these are the salted duck eggs that I made using your sister's method. It's almost time, so I'll bring them out for you to try."
"Oh, there's no need for that. Uncle Pan, you can just sell it." After hearing this, Xu Zhi waved his hands and asked Uncle Pan to take it back.
"Take it. I've got it all. Thanks to your sister, I didn't know duck eggs could be made like this. Xiaozhi, let me tell you, this salted duck egg tastes good."
"Okay, it's time for me to go back."
Uncle Pan picked up the bamboo basket and stood up to say goodbye.
"Xiaozhi, if your sister needs salted duck eggs to sell, then come and tell me and I'll keep them. Otherwise, I'll sell them the day after tomorrow."
Before leaving the hospital, Uncle Pan gave specific instructions.
"Got it. I'll tell Sister. Take care, Mr. Pan."
……
Lin'an County
A breeze blew in from the window, and the papers on the desk rustled and fell to the ground.
"Bang bang bang..."
The door of the room kept slamming, but no movement was heard from inside. Gu Qinghan thought for a moment and then pushed the door open suddenly.
"what happened?"
A confused and dull voice came out from the quilt. Li Junyong opened his confused eyes and shouted weakly.
"It's so late. Hurry up and get ready for dinner." Gu Qinghan leaned against the door, folded his arms, frowned as he looked at the messy room, and said coldly.
"What time is it? Let me lie down for a while. My head is still dizzy."
Li Junyong rubbed his forehead and said with a distressed look on his face, "It felt like someone was holding a big rock and smashing it hard on the head, and he couldn't tell exactly where it hurt."
"What's going on? Your symptoms haven't improved since last night?" Gu Qinghan asked solemnly.
"Not really. I just felt a little dizzy when I woke up. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. I can't take it anymore. Let me sleep a little longer. I won't eat it yet. Please save it for me."
Li Junyong waved his hands, turned over, and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan had no choice but to close the door gently, then turned around and walked out.
In another room, several people were lying on the big bunk bed, sleeping soundly. Gu Qinghan pulled the wide-open window back a little and left the room.
He sat back down on the shady corridor, gazing at the scorching sun in the sky, tapping his fingers on the table, and came up with a plan in his mind.
……
Bamboo forest
With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out.
The grass shook a few times and a faint scream was heard.
"Did you catch it? Make a wish."
Chen Biyun was secretly amazed at Xu Yuanxiu's excellent archery skills.
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, picked out a fat bamboo rat from the haystack, and shot an arrow into its throat, killing it beyond death.
"That's amazing!" Chen Biyun praised.
"You can do it too. There are so many bamboos here. Just find a hole." Seeing Chen Biyun's envious look, Xu Yuan gave her some pointers.
"Forget it, I don't have that ability. I'd better just pick mushrooms honestly. This bamboo rat is very clever and difficult to catch." Chen Biyun waved her hand and resigned herself to her fate.
"Make a wish. I have almost finished picking all the mushrooms. Should we go down the mountain now?"
It's noon now, it's time to go back.
Xuyuan nodded, took Dahua's hand, and the two of them walked out of the bamboo forest, stepping on the rustling bamboo leaves.
……
"Second sister, is this really how you eat salted duck eggs?"
Many uncertain tentative questions asked.
Guozi glanced at Duoyu and replied, "Xiaoduo, what were you listening to when the eldest sister said that?"
"It's been a long time, hasn't it? I'm not sure." Manyu muttered.
"That's right, wash the yellow mud clean, cook it and you can eat it." Xu Zhi nodded and said affirmatively.
"You have to cook it. I thought you could just peel the shell and eat it."
"Silly boy, don't you see that these are pickled raw duck eggs? How can they be cooked just by being pickled in mud?" Xu Zhi explained.
"Hehe..." Xuanyu laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.
Looking out the window toward the courtyard gate, he said, "It's so late, why hasn't Big Sister come back for lunch yet?"
If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.
As soon as many words were spoken, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.
Xuyuan walked into the yard holding Dahua.
Many Japanese fruits sat up suddenly, their attention attracted by the thing their eldest sister hung on the wooden stick.
Many: "Wow...big rat!"
Guozi: "Sister, am I seeing things right?"
The two little kids exclaimed at the same time, afraid that they had seen it wrong, so they rubbed their eyes and rushed out of the kitchen.
"Come, come, look, I'll tie up Dahua first." Seeing the two little kids looking so excited, Xu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He put the wooden stick on his shoulder on the ground, and walked away holding Dahua's hand.
"Come on, brother, let's go boil some water." Xuanyu felt the fur and confirmed that he was not seeing things. He quickly pulled Guozi to the kitchen, shouting that he wanted to boil some water.
Xu Zhi saw the two brothers dragging in and said helplessly, "I'm talking to you, isn't there water boiling on the stove? Don't worry, let Sister eat first, and you wash your hands."
"Oh."
Manyu Wagashi glanced at the pot of water boiling on the stove, then they looked at each other, grinned foolishly, washed their hands, and sat back in their seats.
When Xu Yuan came back after washing his hands, he saw the salted duck eggs on the table and asked, "Who sent this?"
Xu Zhi: "Grandpa Pan sent it to us, saying that he wanted us to try it. By the way, Grandpa Pan also asked if you need to sell the salted duck eggs. If you do, tell Grandpa Pan. Grandpa Pan said he will sell them the day after tomorrow."
"Yeah." Xu Yuan nodded, pointed to a few salted duck eggs on the table, and asked uncertainly: "These are all boiled, right?"
Xu Zhi took out a salted duck egg, cracked it quickly, peeled the eggshell, and put it in Xu Yuan's bowl, "It's cooked, sister, you can eat it without worry."
