Chapter 29 Three Sisters vs. White Snake (Additional update)
If it were in the past, Luo Cheng would have eaten the mice himself at most. All other things must be exchanged for food. If he only eats meat, these things are enough for him. What to do when he can't catch prey, and fortunately he lives alone. If he gets married and has children, he will have to be like his father and go into the mountains to actively catch prey.
Therefore, it is actually more difficult for hunters to find wives than for farmers. If you listen to the matchmaker, if you marry an hunter, you will get meat to eat.
After cleaning up the mountain, I will not go up the mountain again in the next few days. The trap was dismantled during the inspection. After returning home, Luo Cheng said hello to his neighbor Lao Zhang and moved his remaining firewood to his stove.
This time, I still didn’t ask for his rabbit in vain. I got a small rabbit and gave it to him. Little rabbits don't have much meat, and to be honest, they are not as delicious as mice. It's not that Luo Cheng is generous in giving rabbits but not mice, but he simply dislikes the fact that rabbits are small.
Maybe it’s because most people in the mountains only think of roasting food, and there is no seasoning when it comes to stewing it. Anyway, mice and rabbits are more delicious when roasted. Except for rabbits in autumn, rabbits in autumn are big and fat, and the fat on their bodies sizzles when roasted, which is indeed a refreshing meal. But even if the little rabbit is bigger than the mouse, in Luo Cheng's case, the mouse is stronger than the rabbit.
After lunch, Luo Cheng planned to rest at home. He had made an agreement with Carpenter Li a few days ago, and a table and four stools were delivered this afternoon. If he hadn't arrived before the sun set in the afternoon, Luo Cheng would have come to look for him.
After resting for a while, Luo Cheng sat at the door and called the little girl Sanmei over. A three-year-old girl is not afraid of anything. If she didn't like a runny nose, Luo Cheng would not like teasing Er Mao instead of teasing younger ones.
He called Third Sister over to give her a toy to play with, which was the snake caught on the mountain in the morning. If this snake was given to Ermao to play with, it would be very scared, but for a little girl like Sanmei, she didn't know how to be afraid at all, so she just pulled its tail and let it slide on the ground. Moreover, this girl can catch whatever she wants, and she doesn't care about which part of the snake should be caught.
Strangely enough, the snake didn't bite the little girl yet. At most, it would wrap around the little girl a little bit when it pulled hard, but it would soon loosen up. Anyway, Third Sister was having fun, and Luo Cheng also found it interesting. Of course, this was a non-venomous snake, and Luo Cheng, who was poisonous, would not dare to play with others like this.
I didn’t let the little girl play for too long. Don’t play to death. A snake will starve to death if you leave it in a bag for a few days. The scene between the third sister and the white snake is just a way to pass the time.
When the sun was much higher than the top of the mountain, Carpenter Li and his son delivered Luo Chengding's table and stools on a cart. The stools were long ones, which people these days like, and they can sit on them. Two people. A single square stool feels uneconomical.
The tables and chairs were moved into the house, and the relatively empty room immediately seemed somewhat presentable. When Carpenter Li collected his wages and was about to leave, Luo Cheng asked him to take his three-legged bench back to help him add legs. In addition, ask him to help make a few small boxes that can be placed in pockets. They can be pulled out and put in like drawers.
They are all small gadgets, they don’t require any materials, they just take some time and money. Luo Cheng gave Carpenter Li some steamed buns, and he happily agreed.
In the evening, Luo Cheng roasted the mouse. This time he tried a luxurious way to bake it, brushing some lard on the surface and sprinkling some fine salt. When there is no oil, it is relatively dry. This eliminates the oil. The oil bubbles on the meat and the aroma is much stronger.
Finally, Er Mao and his third sister ran to Luo Cheng and just looked at you, not daring to say that he wanted to eat, so why not just look at you?
Luo Cheng always bakes things outside the house. The stove is not easy to bake. It is easy to bake sweet potatoes when cooking, but this meat is not easy to bake.
The two guys were divided into two, each with a front paw and leg, which can also be said to be arm meat. Luo Cheng went into the room to eat a mouse with cold vegetables and steamed buns. The mouse was smeared with lard and found that the roasted meat was crispy and crispy, and tasted much better.
I always forget to use my mobile phone to check why people in the future time and space don’t catch mice and eat them. There are so many mice at the construction site at night. I plan to check it out when I go to the future time and space this time. If you catch a batch of rats at a construction site and reach your age, you can sell them on the black market in large quantities.
One day passed like this. When it was dark, I checked two big turtles. Now they are real treasures. The three sold in the future space together may be about the same as the small one in this big wooden basin. The big one is slightly bigger.
I didn't go to the west cemetery to see if there were any will-o'-the-wisps today. I was lying in bed thinking about renting a house in the future space. If I move out, I will definitely have to move away from the construction site, which is too inconvenient. Isn't it just about money? Right now, we are just buying turtles. The eels in that time and space are not cheap. When the fields are plowed in a while, there will be so many eels that you can just pick up a bucket in the field.
Be extravagant, find a better house to live in, there is a word for it, by the way, high-profile~, I have to be high-profile.
Thinking about it~~~, my eyes slowly closed.
~~
"Heh~~huh~~heh~~huh."
When he woke up again, Luo Cheng didn't hear the patter of rain outside the house, but the new snoring in the room was loud. He remembered that the new kid fell asleep before him yesterday, and he didn't hear him snoring. Why was he snoring so loudly now?
He didn't pay too much attention to the snoring of the new coworker. Instead, as he thought, he first used his mobile phone to check the rat situation in this era. Taking pork back to your own time is hard to explain. If you bring a bunch of mice back, you can eat them as much as you want.
When I checked it on my mobile phone, I found a lot of information, so I had to read it slowly.
It turns out that it’s not that people in this era don’t eat mice, but it depends on where they are. There are sewers in the city. Luo Cheng understands pollution this time, but Luo Cheng doesn't understand the meaning of viruses. I also used my mobile phone to look up what viruses are, and it would be great to learn more new words, just in case I can use them in my own time in the future, how noble it would be.
People in this era also ate rats, but they ate those from mountainous areas, and the prices were not cheap. Even on the mobile phone, it was said that in Guangdong they also eat small mice alive, which are crunchy and tender.
In addition, the school cafeteria also sells rats, but the students do not eat the rat heads, so they expose the school because they gave them the rat heads.
All kinds of interesting news. Anyway, Luo Cheng finally knew why there were so many mice in the construction site and no one caught them to eat them.
It's not easy to take pork with you casually. There are many mouse viruses in this era. I thought there was a fish seller on the pedestrian street. This is a way, at least it can pretend to be a stable source of extra income.
After checking the mouse's information, Luo Cheng started learning to read and write in primary school again. He found that in addition to watching videos, a lot of text information was also very interesting. However, unfamiliar words still appeared often, so he had to study it every day. When you get tired of studying, just watch the videos.
