Chapter 158: Catching Bamboo Rats

Although the second place is not their share, there are two second prizes in their town middle school, and Zhao Lin is also among them. There are ten third prizes in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, which means that half of the students who came to take the exam this time won the prize.

According to the average level in China, the results of the town middle school are actually the best, but unfortunately, the total score of the statistics is based on the number of students who won the prize and the average score.

It's not a fair statistic at all, but it's becoming less important for other schools.

Zhang Tao and the others knew the results the next afternoon, and it was still the same as in their previous life, there were no prizes or certificates, just like they hadn't taken this test.

As long as the students who have participated in it know that they have had such a competition in their junior high school careers, perhaps more people will simply forget about this three-subject league.

With the arrival of December, the weather gradually gets colder, and it will rain lightly from time to time, and this kind of weather here in Shonan is the most annoying.

It's cold, it's wet, and it's inconvenient to do anything. People have become lazy and don't want to move much, so they want to stay at home and bake the fire.

By the end of the week, the weather had become clearer, and the sun had come out for the first time in a long time. After Zhang Tao came back from exercising outside, several people in the family were already preparing breakfast.

This kind of day has now become a habit, Zhang Tao's mother does not have a fixed working time, she goes out when she has something, and stays at home when she has nothing to do.

There is still a difference between rural cadres like them and formal civil servants, and they are basically very idle, and they have not much to do except to find out how to make money or something.

But for Zhang Tao's mother, it is obviously not, she is busy with a lot of things, such as the affairs of several farms in the team, as well as various planting projects, she has to follow up and see.

She needs to be in charge of these things, otherwise others will not have the prestige she has. I heard that the above is making a 38 red flag bearer for his mother, the top ten model workers in the province or something. Zhang Tao just heard from his mother, and he didn't know much about the specific situation.

"When the sun came out, I climbed the hill, and when I got to the top of the mountain, I wanted to sing, and the song floated to my sister。。。。。"

Just after eating breakfast and putting down the bowl, a noise sounded in front of Zhang Tao's house. With this unique symbol, Zhang Tao didn't have to think about it to know who was coming.

"Zhang Tao! Zhang Tao! I've found something good, how about we go and work on it together? Wang Xiaofan, they also went over together. ”

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

He is the only guy who has not been frightened by Zhang Tao's various fights, because of his big nerves, and because the two have been playing together since the crotch pants were opened. The other friends all looked a little cowering when they saw Zhang Tao now, after all, Zhang Tao's murderous reputation was too big.

"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 a lot of taste for playing. So if he said that it was a good thing, it would definitely be a more interesting thing, so Zhang Tao was a little curious.

"On the bamboo forest side of the back mountain, I passed by that day and found a few holes, and there was mud. It must be a bamboo rat in there, how about we go catch a bamboo rat 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 rats? Are you sure? ”

Zhang Tao was immediately moved after hearing this, and he really didn't grasp this guy's mind. There are bamboo rats in the bamboo forest here, but there are not many, and most of them are found in the big bamboo forest farther away. However, because the big bamboo forest is far away and there are too many miscellaneous trees, it is not suitable for catching bamboo rats.

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

It's just that at this time, it can't be sold at a high price, but it is delicious and can be eaten regardless of whether it is worth it or not, which is very attractive for a foodie.

"It must be a bamboo rat, the mouse hole is not that big, and you can see the eaten bamboo around, according to my research, it must be a litter of bamboo rats, it is estimated that there are several."

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

This kind of person is born with the second generation, but unfortunately he was not born in a better family for him to continue to play, otherwise he can play to the clouds and become a generation of stars.

"Well, that's okay, let's bring two cages over, I'll borrow two."

The bamboo rat is about the size of a hare, and its teeth are very powerful, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to help it in the mud. Drilling a hole is called a god speed, as long as they run out, they can quickly drill out of another hole.

The kind of cage that Zhang Tao borrowed was iron, and it was necessary to use this kind of cage if it was a bamboo rat. If you make a cage made of bamboo, you can only make food for those guys, and you can break the cage and escape in two clicks. The pair of front teeth of the bamboo rat are used to do this, a natural artifact.

After the things were ready, the group walked towards the bamboo forest. After arriving at the place where Wang Zhongqiu said, Zhang Tao took a closer look at the holes, which were indeed the holes of the bamboo rats, so several people immediately separated and found all the other holes, and then guarded one by one.

Zhang Yan and Zhao Lin also followed, and the two of them had never seen a bamboo rat, so they were curious to follow over to take a look. Zhang Tao held a cage to the side, the opening of the cage was facing the entrance of the hole, and when the bamboo rat was smoked out of the hole, he climbed to the cage and immediately put the cage away.

The person in charge of releasing the cigarette took out a large bamboo tube that had been prepared earlier, drilled a small hole at one end, opened it at the other end, put the rice husk withered grass from the opening, lit the rice husk, and released the person into the hole, and then sealed the gap at the entrance of the cave with mud, and blew 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 rats inside will crawl out of the other holes if they can't bear it.

According to Zhang Tao's experience, there were indeed a few bamboo rat holes they discovered this time, so the other holes that were originally going 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. The guy who was smoking was still blowing smoke into the hole, and after a while the other holes began to smoke out, and he immediately put out the fire and blocked the hole.

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

Before Zhang Tao could react, he put away the cage and closed the door, and a fat bamboo rat arrived.

I picked up the cage and felt the weight of the bamboo rat inside, which was estimated to weigh three or four catties, and a big meal was in hand. At this time, Zhang Yan and Zhao Lin came over, maybe because there were too many mice in the countryside, the two of them were much bolder than ordinary city girls.

Seeing such a big bamboo rat, he was not intimidated, but looked at the bamboo rat in the cage curiously. It was the first time they had seen such a creature, much larger than a normal mouse, about the size of a hare.

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

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

After Zhang Tao's side first heard the movement, there was also movement from the other holes, and the other three holes also caught two, and one ran away. But unexpectedly, after they received four, a few more ran out of the holes not long after, and at this time it was necessary to look at the eyesight and technique, and all the people had no tools in their hands, so they could only watch them run away.

When the three in the cage saw that the others had run away, they immediately struggled, and no matter how much they struggled, they could not run away from the cage.

It's just that they can't bear it, if they can endure it more than the ones that ran away, it's not them who are in the cage now.

A total of three were caught, and there were two left after Zhang Tao divided one, Wang Zhongqiu didn't want it, and the other two guys didn't want it, so all three were given to Zhang Tao.

It is estimated that there is no place to close it when they take it back, and what they make is not as delicious as what Zhang Tao's family makes, so it is better to let Zhang Tao's family cook and eat some.

Zhang Tao looked at the appearance of these guys, pulled the corners of his mouth, and they were all eating in his own house. But at this time, the bamboo rat was eaten, and an ingredient was added, so that it would be more delicious, and the ingredient was not troublesome, just look for it in this mountain of bamboo forests.

Dry pot winter bamboo shoots bamboo rat, this is a very distinctive dish, and there is also nutritional and medicinal value, bamboo rat and winter bamboo shoots are on the "Compendium of Materia Medica". There are very few stews or anything here in Shonan, and the general game is basically from a dry pot, and the chili pepper, garlic and ginger are put on it, and the taste is really delicious.

Because Zhang Tao still had to dig winter bamboo shoots, he asked others to help him bring the bamboo rat home first, after all, that thing had to be packed in an iron cage.

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

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