"Normally, if bamboo rats are particularly active in a certain area, it is mostly because that area is more abundant in food."
"I'll go around and see how the traps that were harvested last time are doing this time."
The bait in the trap was already smelly, so Muqing peeled fresh chestnuts and replaced them.
Go around the bamboo forest to check the trap ahead.
[Yes, yes, I saw it. 】
【I saw it too, there was a bamboo rat floating in the sky over there. 】
[Yuan Fang: Judging from the state of the mouse, it was hanged. 】
[This No. [-] trap is so badly done, every time it looks like a bamboo rat hanged itself. 】
[The key point is that this trap can catch mice every time. 】
[Mouse: This is homicide, homicide! 】
Mu Qing walked over and patted the hanging bamboo rat with his hand.
The bamboo rat swayed on the bamboo branch, flicking and flicking its little tail.
There is no strange smell in the air, which means that the bamboo rat is not broken.
Muqing untied the bamboo rat from the trap, lowered his head and carefully observed the ground.
"It's really not my wish to make the trap like this, but there is no one here, only this bamboo is the most suitable for making traps."
"This trap is really special. Not only can it catch the prey every time, but it's also very big."
"This mouse looks much fatter than the previous two."
"The largest of the few bamboo rats caught last time was also caught by this trap."
Mu Qing looked at the soil layer on the ground, walked a few meters inside, and suddenly became happy.
"My judgment is not wrong. The fundamental reason why this position can catch mice every time is that there is food."
Mu Qing put the backpack and the mouse aside, and started prying the dirt on the ground with a wooden stick.
After prying it a few times, a small brown pointed corner emerged from the ground.
[Hey, bamboo shoots, it's bamboo shoots! 】
[Really bamboo shoots?How did Lord Mu see that there were bamboo shoots underneath? 】
【Looking at Master Mu’s skills in playing with bamboo, you can tell that the family either made this, or grew up by the bamboo forest, so it’s normal to be able to find bamboo shoots. 】
[This should be winter bamboo shoots, right?Doesn't it mean it's winter now? 】
[But it's cold in winter, the place where Lord Mu is located is not cold at all. 】
[There are no other small bamboos growing in the forest, which means that a new round of bamboo shoots has just begun, so it's the beginning of spring bamboo shoots, right? 】
[Whatever it is, it's delicious anyway. 】
[Well, bamboo shoots are delicious, don't you feel numb when eating bamboo shoots?Is it just me? 】
Using a wooden stick to pry the soil open again, Muqing inserted the machete into the soil along the side of the bamboo shoots, using one arm.
A bamboo shoot was dug up.
"Well, yes, it's not small, although it's not as big as I expected."
"Bamboo shoots grow up along the roots of the bamboo. Since the bamboo shoots are found here, it means there will be more next to them. I'm looking for them."
"In the spring, I often went to dig bamboo shoots with my family. Sometimes I could dig hundreds of catties at a time."
"What salty bamboo shoots, soaked bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots, you can eat them all year round in spring."
Following the roots of the bamboo, Muqing dug up two more big bamboo shoots, and hugged them happily.
"I don't know if it's because I ate too little food, or because I didn't have enough fruits and vegetables. The excretion has not been smooth these days."
"Bamboo shoots are rich in dietary fiber, which is very good for the intestines."
"I can cook bamboo shoots to eat at night. I really want a rib now, or sauerkraut will do."
"These are great accompaniments to boiled fresh bamboo shoots."
"Life"
Mu Qing hugged the bamboo shoots, turned around and took the mouse that was caught in the No. [-] trap and walked back.
Two more bamboo rats were harvested on the way, for a total of five bamboo rats.
[Life, you just can't live too comfortably. 】
[Life, going smoothly is no fun. 】
【Finish all the coquettish words of Master Mu, so that he has nothing to say, hahaha. 】
[I thought this wave had nothing to gain, but I didn't expect it to be the one that gained the most. 】
[With the bamboo shoots and several mice, the problem of food shortage was solved at once. 】
[The most important thing is that once the bamboo shoots start to grow, it will take a couple of months to dig them. 】
[No wonder Master Mu is so happy to see the bamboo forest, this is a granary. 】
The five mice were already completely cold, so Muqing disposed of them on the spot.
Start the fire and roast it first, and cut bamboo tubes to boil water for drinking.
The fur and viscera are cut into a bamboo tube and packed in a bamboo tube, which can be taken back and used as fish bait.
After finishing it, Mu Qing cut a long bamboo tube to make a long pot, poured water into it and set it on the fire to burn.
Take out the smaller bamboo shoots and peel them off.
"Hey, I can't wait to go back to the camp, let's cook a fresh bamboo shoot soup first, and eat a small one."
"Peeling off the bamboo shoots is also very particular. The thick ones on the outside must be peeled off completely. When the insides are tender, you only need to peel off the top part."
"The bamboo shoots on the bottom are also delicious, you can keep them."
Bamboo shoots, a kind of shelled food, look quite large when dug out. After peeling off the bamboo shoots, there is not even half of the size left.
