Chapter 29 Mother's questioning
In the casserole, add onions, ginger and other seasonings, cooked for a while, and waited until it was almost completely tasty and the bamboo rat meat was crystal clear and more mature. Zhang Ran then picked it up with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"Hiss..." The moment the hot bamboo rat meat entered the mouth, a rich meat fragrance burst into Zhang Ran's mouth. After biting it, the bamboo rat meat was smooth and smooth, with a little bamboo fragrance...
After tasting the bamboo rat meat, Zhang Ran couldn't help but pick up another piece of bamboo shoots and tasted it. He found that the bamboo shoots were also very delicious, fresh, tender and delicious, and the wonderful feeling rushed straight into the taste buds, making people want to immediately want to have a big feast...
"Brother~~" Seeing that Zhang Ran was eating sweetly, Suier's saliva was almost gone, she couldn't help holding the pottery bowl and quietly stepped forward and pulled her open sleeves. She looked at Zhang Ran pitifully, her eyes were filled with prayer.
"Haha..., little greedy cat!" Looking at the little girl's expression, Zhang Ran smiled silently, reached out to rub Sui'er's hair, took the pottery bowl in her hand, filled a large bowl with a wooden spoon, and handed it to her, "Come on, eat, be careful to perm!"
The little girl took the pottery bowl, picked up the bamboo chopsticks excitedly, quickly picked up a piece of bamboo rat meat, lowered her head and took a bite. She suddenly felt a wonderful taste that she had never tasted before, completely submerged her.
"Well... Thank you brother... It smells so good... It tastes so delicious!!"
While squeaking and thanking Zhang Ran, the little girl quickly picked up the hot bamboo rat meat and breathed hard. Before the meat became colder, she opened her mouth and bitten it hard. It was like a hungry little tiger, like a wind blowing the clouds, and she couldn't immediately swallow the meat pieces of the pottery bowl into her belly before she could stop.
"Brother Ran, this bamboo rat meat is so fragrant!"
I just put a bowl of bamboo rat meat soup for Sui'er. Before Zhang Ran could put down the spoon, Sankui followed the fragrance and came to Zhang Ran with the pottery bowl in his hand. His eyes were staring at the steaming pieces of meat in the casserole, and he said with a eager eye: "Brother Ran, please give me a bowl too?"
"Hmph!" Zhang Ranke was not so patient about the rough man Sankui. He glared at this guy with anger and said without hesitation: "Just take a bowl? Do you want to eat alone? Go! Take a few more and give it a try for everyone!"
"Ah? OK, okay, I'll get it now!" Sankui heard this, quickly put his pottery bowl aside and ran to get the bowl happily.
After Sankui came back with a stack of pottery bowls, Zhang Ran put the bamboo rat meat from the casserole into the bowl and gave each of them a bowl, including Xiaokui, who was three years old, all of them were served.
When everyone held the pottery bowl in their hands and started to feast, a series of praise quickly sounded in the yard, and sighed:
"Hiss..., it smells so good!"
"The meat is very tender! It's really rare and delicious!"
"It's really delicious. I never thought that Brother Ran had such a skill!"
"Woooo... delicious... delicious!"
...
After removing hair and removing internal organs, bamboo rats only have more than two kilograms of meat left. They were divided into seven or eight people's heads, and only a few pieces of meat were left. It was just a taste of it, and it was impossible to fill your stomach.
Fortunately, the harvest was abundant today and there was no shortage of ingredients. So after eating a bowl of bamboo rat meat, Zhang Ran opened his stomach and ate a lot of fish and a large bowl of corn rice. Until he could no longer eat it, he put down the bowls and chopsticks and rubbed his stomach.
Amidst the laughter, the dinner lasted for more than an hour. It was not until the hour of Hai that everyone packed up the leftovers, yawned, and bid farewell to him.
After returning to his home, Zhang Ran took a wooden basin and fed a little water in the yard and washed it briefly. When he just returned to the room and was about to go to bed, his mother Zhang Li suddenly pushed open the door and appeared in front of Zhang Ran.
"Ran'er!" Zhang Li held a bean oil lamp, held Zhang Ran's hand, sat on the edge of the bed, with a gentle smile on his face, stroked Zhang Ran's messy hair, and then said softly: "I heard from Sankui's mother that you can not only weave fish cages, but also put ropes and catch prey... Can you tell my mother, where did you learn these methods?"
Hearing his mother say this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in his heart and secretly called "Oh no". He guessed that he had done too much during this period, which was far beyond the ability of the "original body", and probably had already aroused his mother's suspicion.
Although he was so panicked, Zhang Ran tried hard to maintain a calm face and replied slowly: "Mother, this method of making fish cages was learned by my son from an old man in Chang'an City. A month ago, Uncle Zhang and Sankui, didn't I go to Chang'an City to sell fox skins together? In Chang'an City, Sankui and I met an old man who came to Chang'an from other places to sell fish. Seeing that the fish he sold was big and fat, and the fish cage was also very interesting, he begged to lend me the cage to play for a while. Therefore, my son generally remembered the appearance of the fish cage. I thought the two fish cages we used to change with baskets were too difficult to see, so I rebuilt a few more beautiful ones according to the old man's fish cage.
As for rope covers and traps, I was exploring myself when I was cutting bamboo on the mountain. For example, the rock-falling trap was to use a wooden stick to build a large stone and put some corn under it... When there was prey to eat the rice, when the stick was touched, the stone would fall down and smash the prey to death..."
As he said that, Zhang Ran asked his mother in confusion: "Does it still need to be learned specifically for such a simple thing?"
"That's such a simple thing..." When Zhang Li's expression froze when he heard his son's words, he didn't know how to answer his son's question for a moment.
Although his son's words sounded reasonable, this does not mean that Zhang Li completely believed Zhang Ran's words. So, after pondering for a moment, Zhang Li continued to ask: "Ran'er, since you saw this method of making a new fish cage with Sankui, why can't he? You still need to teach him again? Moreover, why do you use the things you learned a month ago now?"
"Bang!" As he said this, Zhang Li slapped the bed board suddenly, stared at Zhang Ran with a burning gaze, and shouted angrily: "Say! Where did your method come from? What else is there to hide from me!"
"My mother!" Zhang Ran smiled bitterly, faced his mother's temptation, and replied with a thorn in response: "What kind of Sankui is? Others don't know, don't you know? This guy only knows how hard he is except to work in the fields. When he grows up, he only knows how to work. When he learns from his elder brother to join the army and make achievements, he will not take other things seriously! Moreover, at that time, only his son himself was interested in Yu Cang, and Sankui didn't like these things at all. Besides, it's been so long, Sankui probably forgot about Yu Cang."
He glanced at his mother quietly and found that her face was slightly relieved. Zhang Ran calmed down and continued to explain: "Don't mention Sankui's wooden head, even if I was just having fun before, my son? If it weren't for a serious illness this time and walking in the gate of hell, how could my son think of using a fish cage to catch fish and honor his mother?"
As he said that, Zhang Ran suddenly bent his legs and knelt down in front of Zhang Li, choking and said, "Mother, the child was ignorant before, which made you worry about him. It was his son's unfiliality. From now on, the son will definitely change his past and be filial to his mother! When the son makes money in the future, he will make delicious food for his mother every day, build a big house for his mother, buy a few little slaves to serve his mother..."
"My son..." Zhang Ran was just halfway through his words, and his mother hugged him.
Zhang Li hugged Zhang Ran in tears and cried, "Ran'er, don't blame my mother for being too careless. You know the situation in our family. I really can't stand any trouble. My mother, I don't want any big house, and I don't need any female slaves to serve me. As long as my son is safe and secure, I will be satisfied..."
As he said that, Zhang Li suddenly let go of his arms, looked down at Zhang Ran's eyes, and said apologetically: "Ran'er, my mother has no other meaning, just because she is afraid that you will go on a wrong path... Since you think of these methods yourself, not stealing... Then my mother will feel relieved."
