Chapter 40 Canned Hot Pot

Before he entered the third trap, Tong Chen noticed that the third trap was also triggered, but he really didn't feel very excited in his heart, because Tong Chen understood that he might be happy again.

Coming to the side of the trap, Tong Chen didn't take a closer look at the situation around the trap like last time, he lifted the stone.

But in an instant, as soon as he let go of his hand, the stone immediately fell back to its original place.

"Ah, I really caught the mouse, it's incredible", Tong Chen was so excited, the first time he set the trap actually succeeded, even if the two traps failed.

Tong Chen squatted down again, picked up the stone with both hands and threw it aside.

The trap caught a small mouse, which was very small, almost the size of two fingers, but Tong Chen was still very happy.

It's just that this mouse is really small and a little pitiful, and at a glance you know that there is not a few points of meat, before Tong Chen met the mouse and sneered, and even thought that they were very dirty, and never dreamed that one day he would actually think of eating a mouse, and this little mouse was also crushed into a disgusting piece of meat by the stone.

Time is changing, after experiencing all this, Tong Chen found that he had also changed, and some of the so-called principles he once adhered to had to force you to change under the pressure of the environment and reality.

Picking up the little mouse, Tong Chen returned to the campsite.

Looking at the little mouse still in front of him, Tong Chen made a difficulty, how to deal with this little mouse, like on TV, directly roasted on the fire, and eat it whole?

After thinking about it, Tong Chen made a decision in his heart, he quickly smashed a small stone chip with a big stone, and then used this stone chip to tear off the four legs of the little mouse.

Throwing his four legs into the can, Tong Chen decided to find some morels or other mushrooms to make a meat stew mushroom soup.

The mushrooms picked before had already been consumed, so Tong Chen had to return to the previous place to continue searching, but Tong Chen did not find a few morels in this place for a long time, and he still found a lot of oyster mushrooms.

Back at the campsite, Tong Chen cleaned the mushrooms he found, then added oyster mushrooms to the cans with rat meat and water, and blew the fire on, just waiting for the delicious food to be baked.

Tong Chen has a lot of experience in this area, after all, he often cooks at home, and his proficiency has become 27%, which is a little higher than before.

Feeling that the hour was almost up, Tong Chen picked up a leg with chopsticks and tried to bite a little, feeling that after it was cooked, he filled this bit of meat into his mouth by the way.

The taste is okay, I don't know if Tong Chen has been hungry for too long, or because of the meat, you must know that when he is at home, if a dish tastes too salty, or too light, he will only eat a few bites and will not look at it again.

After eating the rest of the food in a few bites, Tong Chen cooked the morels and filled them into his stomach together.

Tomorrow is the last day, Tong Chen decided to make something big, after the first time he arranged the trap and gained something, his confidence increased greatly, and he decided to go to the jujube tree in the afternoon to arrange more traps.

So Tong Chen began to collect stone chips, branches and other materials needed to make traps, and since there were not many decent stones in the jujube tree, he had to collect them everywhere.

After preparing all the materials needed, Tong Chen began to arrange the rockfall trap last time again, he also wanted to arrange a more complex and effective rockfall trap, which might be more likely to catch bigger mice, but that kind of trap requires more materials and requires more effort, at this moment, Tong Chen doesn't have time to arrange, maybe it will be later.

Along with the previous three traps, Tong Chen arranged a total of eight rat-smashing traps.

After doing this, Tong Chen didn't dare to stop, and looked around again for mushrooms that could be eaten, especially the nutritious morels.

However, morels are not so easy to find, blackened morels grow among weeds, they are simply natural masters of disguise, if you don't bend down to take a closer look, even if you look in front of you, you may not find it, and sometimes it takes a little luck to collect food.

Until the evening, Tong Chen collected a total of more than a pound of oyster mushrooms, as for the precious morels, there are not many, there are more than a dozen.

For dinner, Tong Chen only ate some sour dates and oyster mushroom soup, because he still had to do something tomorrow.

The last day, finally arrived, Tong Chen didn't know how he survived, stepping on a horse is a simple task?, I don't know how hard it is after that!

When he woke up in the morning, Tong Chen rushed to the jujube tree to check the trap as soon as possible, but fortunately, the result did not disappoint Tong Chen, four of the eight traps were not triggered, and the remaining four, although two of them were triggered, there was no harvest.

Eight trap Tong Chen only caught two mice, I have to say that catching mice is not an easy task, last time three traps caught one, this time the success rate has decreased, but this time the two mice caught are bigger than last time.

The rat was still too small to be disemboweled, so Tong Chen directly tore off his four legs and put them in a can to stew first.

Suddenly, Tong Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately left the camp, not knowing what to do.

Ten minutes later, Tong Chen returned with a lot of fresh toon leaves in his hand, which was also an excellent ingredient, which he had completely forgotten before.

Subsequently, Tong Chen put the picked jujubes in front of him.

But I saw that his shirt was spread on the ground, and there were cleaned oyster mushrooms, morels, and toon leaves on it, yes, he had prepared a big meal for such a long time.

Because the cans were too small to fit much, Tong Chen also changed his way of eating, and he decided to come to a wild hot pot.

The rat meat in the can keeps tumbling, and the smell of meat is emitted with steam, but it is definitely not as delicious as the stewed meat in the big iron pot at home.

Tong Chen put in a few morels first, and after a few minutes, he began to eat them steaming hot.

It's not very delicious, but it's definitely a treat in the food-starved wilderness, and after enjoying morels, Tong Chen adds water to the can, waits for the water to boil, and then adds some toon leaves and a few oyster mushrooms.

After waiting for a while, Tong Chen started to act again, he took a piece of oyster mushroom and put it in his mouth, to Tong Chen's surprise, the fragrance of the toon covered up the fishy smell of many oyster mushrooms, and the two complemented each other.

felt that he had almost eaten, and Tong Chen's interest in the food in front of him decreased a lot, especially a large number of oyster mushrooms, he didn't eat much at all, and finally ate a few sour dates, and the meal was over.

After a brief rest, Tong Chen began to clean up the camp, dismantle the shelter he built, and extinguish the fire with soil, especially after extinguishing the fire, he was still a little reluctant in his heart, after all, this fire cost him too much energy.

Tong Chen didn't have such a consciousness before, but after hearing and seeing, he also felt that it should be his responsibility to return to the original state of nature.

Tong Chen saw that there was still more than an hour left in the countdown to the task, packed up the unfinished food, and prepared to embark on the way back.
