Chapter 301 Cute...Eat Bamboo Rat
Gu Chang started the car without hesitation and drove towards Zhumao Village!
When he arrived at the gate of Zhumao Village Committee, he found that a young villager had been waiting for him there for a long time.
The villager looked to be in his early twenties, very young and full of energy.
"Hello, Mr. Gu! Village Chief Yuan specifically asked me to greet you here."
Seeing Gu Chang getting off the car, the young man immediately came forward with a smile on his face and said.
"hello."
Gu Chang also responded with a smile.
"I don't think I've seen you in the past few days." Gu Chang looked at the young man in front of him, feeling doubtful, and couldn't help but ask.
After all, he had become quite familiar with the villagers of Zhumao Village over the past few days. He could be said to have memorized almost everyone's appearance, but the young man in front of him left him with no impression at all.
"To be honest, I have only been back home for two days. Before that I was working in the county town to make a living."
The young man explained with a simple and honest smile.
"That's right! Thanks to you, Boss Gu, we can now make a lot of money by digging bamboo shoots in our village!"
"My parents saw that digging bamboo shoots could make money, so they immediately asked me to come back to help with the work. You see, the money I make from digging bamboo shoots every day is much more than what I made working outside before..."
Gu Chang couldn't help but feel very surprised after hearing this. He never expected that the young man in front of him chose to return to the countryside for such a reason.
At this moment, a deep feeling of emotion surged in Gu Chang's heart.
Sometimes, the real meaning of the so-called poverty alleviation work lies in this - creating employment opportunities for villagers and helping them increase production and income.
It will allow the villagers in the mountains to earn enough money to live without having to wander around, leave their homes, or leave their families!
Gu Chang couldn't help but stretch out his hands, gently patted the young man's shoulders, and said earnestly.
"Keep working hard, young man! I believe that in the near future, our hometown will become more and more beautiful!"
The young man's eyes were shining, his expression was extremely focused, and he nodded vigorously!
……
The two of them walked forward and soon arrived at a dense bamboo forest on the mountain east of Zhumao Village!
This towering mountain has a steep terrain, and the bamboo forest growing in it is unique - it is not only the largest bamboo forest around Zhumao Village, but also the one with the most luxuriant bamboo and the best quality!
Because of this, the bamboo shoots produced here are abundant in quantity and of excellent quality. Most of the villagers in Zhumao Village come here to dig bamboo shoots.
This morning, when many residents of Zhumao Village came here to dig bamboo shoots as usual, they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from deep in the bamboo forest.
At first, no one thought much about it and just thought there was a bamboo rat's nest in the bamboo forest ahead.
After all, the bamboo rats in Zhumao Village have always been known for their large numbers, and each one is huge, fat and strong, just like a mini piglet!
In the past when life was hard, villagers would often go to the bamboo forest to explore casually, and they could easily catch a few bamboo rats and have a delicious meal!
In fact, bamboo rat as a food has a long history!
As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the book "Gongshi Dafu" had a clear record: only officials ranked above the three tripods were qualified to taste the delicious bamboo rat meat!
Bamboo rats are usually cooked into soup or grilled as a delicious dish.
The reason for this is that bamboo rats have been feeding on bamboo, miscanthus, plant stems, etc. for a long time. This special eating habit creates the delicate taste of their meat, which is not only delicious, but also exudes a faint bamboo fragrance.
In comparison, rabbits, which are similar in size to bamboo rats, are said to taste slightly inferior.
In addition, the Compendium of Materia Medica also describes bamboo rats: "Bamboo rat meat is sweet, mild, non-toxic, and has the effects of replenishing qi and detoxifying."
However, since 2020, due to the fact that bamboo rats carry pathogens, the artificial breeding, trading and consumption of bamboo rats have been banned on a large scale across the country!
Although this stuff may taste delicious, it is better to avoid eating it given its possible impact on our physical and mental health!
As the villagers continued digging, they had unknowingly entered the heart of the bamboo forest.
Suddenly, everyone was surprised to find that there was indeed a bamboo rat here, but what was shocking was that this bamboo rat was not eating bamboo as they thought!
The scene presented in front of the many villagers was simply unbelievable - it was an extremely huge giant panda!
At this moment, this huge creature was leisurely holding a fat and tender bamboo rat, treating it as a delicious after-meal snack and savoring it with relish!
