Chapter 18: Cherish food in the future
Gu Chan urged, "Speak quickly, Zhao Erniu will get up soon, and we have to go into the mountain."
[I have a stomachache and can’t digest food, which is why I’m so thin. 】
"Stomach pain? Could it be a gastric ulcer? Can cows get gastric ulcers?" Gu Chan couldn't laugh or cry.
Gastric ulcer is not a serious disease, but it is troublesome if you really get it.
She always thought that gastric ulcer was a disease that only humans could get, but now she understood that it turned out that animals could also get this disease.
Maverick reluctantly said, [Maybe! Now I have to eat belly-warming grass to cure my stomach problems. 】
"What does Warm Belly Grass look like?" Gu Chan asked.
[The grass that is blood red and looks like an ox’s tail is Warm Belly Grass. 】
Gu Chan nodded to appease, "Okay, leave it to me! I'll help you find belly-warming grass when I go into the mountains later."
"Thank you Twoleg." Maverick nodded his head and thanked him.
"Do you mysterious beasts all like to call you two-legged beasts?" Gu Chan asked curiously.
Because from the beginning, she could hear the animals talking to now, every animal refers to people as twolegs, which makes her speechless.
Maverick was so angry that he didn't pay for his life, "I call you two-legged beasts because I think highly of you." 】
"..." Gu Chan.
All right!
Sure enough, in this world, animals are pretty awesome, and they even look down on people.
Of course, when it comes to strength, humans are not as good as these animals.
There was no need to worry too much about a cow, and Gu Chan didn't want to talk to it anymore. She turned around and walked back to the stove in the back and said to Mrs. Li, "I think your cow is a little unhealthy!"
"Nonsense, your health doesn't require you to cut white silk grass?" Li was furious.
When I buy this cow, I hope it will be cured and strengthened to make money! Of course she would feel uncomfortable if Gu Chan didn't open any pot.
Gu Chan chuckled, "Okay, let's eat this half bowl of white rice. After we go into the mountains, we'll cut a bunch of grass and feed it back."
"You said this yourself! Don't let it go if you can't cut it back by then. I won't let you go easily."
"Don't worry! This is such a big deal." Gu Chan waved her little hand carelessly.
Li Shi glanced at her with squinting eyes, a look of disdain on her face.
She thought to herself that these two were still children after all, and they were still too young to be tricked by her so easily.
Gu Chan stared at her and sneered, saying in her heart, "See how I deal with you when I come back, you still want to trick me."
"Can we eat white rice now?" Ma Zheng stood aside and couldn't wait any longer, swallowing his saliva and asking.
Mr. Li nodded.
Ma Zheng immediately took half a bowl of white rice and started eating it with big mouthfuls.
Gu Chan was not as greedy as him, she just slowly reached out to pick up her bowl of white rice, then reached out to grab a little and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully.
Wow!
She almost screamed when she tasted it.
The white rice steamed by the steamer really tastes extraordinary. Although it is just ordinary white rice, after eating each grain of cooked white rice into your mouth, the rich rice aroma spreads in your mouth. Open, it is soft and waxy when chewed, and very easy to swallow.
After taking a mouthful of white rice, Gu Chan's lips and teeth were filled with fragrance, and her taste buds also experienced a different kind of satisfaction. "Hey! Before I traveled through time, I couldn't finish a bowl of rice and threw it away. Now I feel satisfied even after eating half a bowl. It was such a waste of food before. Now I have to cherish food."
While eating, Gu Chan said silently in her heart.
Recalling the luxurious life before, she didn't miss it at all, but felt a sense of regret.
After coming here, she realized that life was not easy, money was hard to earn, food was not delicious, and there was no need to waste it even if she wanted to!
"Hey! You guys have eaten first." Just as Gu Chan was deep in thought while eating rice, Zhao Erniu's voice sounded in the room.
He put on animal skins and walked out with a bow and arrow basket behind him.
Gu Chan quickly put the empty bowl back on the stove.
Ma Zheng, on the other hand, kept licking the empty bowl without letting go of any grain of rice in the bowl.
"Stop licking it, isn't it just half a bowl of rice? Are you concerned about it?" Gu Chan scolded, and quickly reached out to grab the empty bowl and put it back on the stove.
Zhao Erniu looked at it and shook his head.
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't eat for free. I will ask them to go into the mountains to help me cut the grass on my back and feed the cattle later."
"Okay, let them know that there is no free food in the world, which is also a good thing." Zhao Erniu nodded.
After saying that, he walked forward, filled a bowl with a large bowl of white rice, sat down next to Mrs. Li and started eating.
Mrs. Li brought out a plate of pickles and a bowl of fried caterpillars from the room and placed them on the stove.
The couple just ate white rice, pickles and meat dishes, and their mouths were full of oil.
Gu Chan and Ma Zheng could only stand and watch, not to mention how hungry they were at this time.
Ma Zheng murmured, "When can I eat white rice and meat dishes?"
"Look at your little potential, I tell you, follow me well, from now on we will not only eat white rice and meat and vegetables, but also more delicacies from the mountains and seas." Gu Chan vowed and began to draw cakes for Ma Zheng.
Zhao Erniu and Mrs. Li burst out laughing after hearing this, thinking that Gu Chan was just a child who was not sensible, farting and dreaming!
Gu Chan was too lazy to watch them eat anymore, and immediately pulled the horse and ran towards the outside of the courtyard, "Hurry up and eat, we will wait for you at the door."
"Why, master, you didn't even call me?" Zhao Erniu started driving.
"Master, let me call you! Do you have any objection now?" Gu Chan shouted unhappily at the top of her voice outside the door.
Zhao Erniu nodded with satisfaction and felt a better appetite after eating.
After half a stick of incense, Zhao Erniu finished his meal and made all preparations. Then he said goodbye to his wife and left the house. He took Gu Chan out of the village and set foot on the road to the mountains behind the village.
On the way into the mountain, Zhao Erniu was showing off.
"Let me tell you, if you want to learn to hunt, you must first develop your arm strength. The bow on my back weighs sixty stones. Most people can't pull it even if they want to. In the entire Jiuyang Village, except for me, Zhao Erniu, no one can pull it. No one can draw this bow."
"After I take you into the mountains today, you just stay with me the whole time. Just observe and learn how I draw the bow and shoot. You don't need to touch the bow. After all, your arm strength is too weak to draw the bow. Wait until you learn the basics of drawing the bow and shooting. After you learn how to do it and strengthen your arm strength, you can go to the market to buy a light bow and follow me into the mountains. Then I will teach you how to find the traces of prey. "
"Okay, okay, what the master said is right, let's just listen." Gu Chan looked impatient. She couldn't stand Zhao Erniu showing off in front of her.
Zhao Erniu didn't care about her so much. He just wanted to feel good about himself and kept whispering in their ears.
It wasn't until the three of them walked the mountain road and entered the forest that Zhao Erniu finally calmed down completely and began to take the bow and arrow from his back, his expression becoming serious.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Chan immediately became concerned.
Of course, she did not deny that at this moment, Zhao Erniu did look like a hunter and was worthy of admiration.
