Chapter 498 Snake Basket
Duan Cheng came back soon and brought back a bundle of bamboo. The soldier took a saber and began to cut the bamboo, cutting the bamboo into thin strips of bamboo.
"Get more, let's make a few more cages, and bring back ten or eight snakes tomorrow. Not only can you eat snake soup, but you can also eat snake slices. How beautiful!" Duan Cheng has not touched meat for a long time, thinking of The taste of the snake soup just now was so greedy that I could bite off my tongue.
When weaving the snake basket, Bai Zhi and Duan Cheng looked interesting, so they followed suit. Later, Dr. Shen joined in, and the other two soldiers who were slightly injured and who were still able to move also joined. Made up a dozen baskets.
Bai Zhi said with a smile: "If the snakes around here knew that we had made so many snake cages, they would probably flee."
Duan Cheng said: "I'm going to put the cage now, and I can eat snake soup early in the morning."
The soldier rejoiced, "I'm not sure about this. Catching snakes depends on luck. It's winter now. Although the snakes haven't started hibernating, they seldom come out. It's not easy to catch a dozen of them at a time. Woolen cloth."
Duan Cheng smiled and said, "It's hard to say, my luck has never been bad."
Bai Zhi said: "Add some water-soaked oil fruit to the bait. The smell of oil fruit is the favorite smell of snakes. As long as they are nearby, they will definitely smell it."
The soldier looked surprised: "How do you know this method? This is the method of catching snakes passed down by our ancestors. It is impossible for ordinary people to know."
Bai Zhixin said that in modern times, there is nothing that people want to know but cannot know. The era of information sharing on the Internet has been at its peak for a century, which is also the need for world development.
The reason why ancient times were poor and backward had a lot to do with the inability to share information. Everyone regarded new inventions and discoveries as private secrets, and it was impossible to share those great inventions and discoveries with the world, thereby advancing the development of the times.
Bai Zhi smiled lightly: "I heard about it by chance, everyone in our place knows this method, and it's not a secret."
Duan Cheng quickly found the oil fruit from a pile of medicinal herbs, soaked it in water first, then mixed it with other food bait, and packed it in various bamboo baskets. Driving an angelica carriage, he placed snake cages everywhere, and he was busy until dawn. . .
Duan Cheng couldn't open his tired eyes, so he fell asleep when he fell back to the small tent.
Bai Zhi said to Dr. Shen, "Duan Cheng has worked hard enough to eat snake soup."
Dr. Shen shook his head helplessly: "It's not that he is greedy, it's just that the food in this barracks is too bad, it's common to not eat a little bit of oily meat in ten days and a half. Not to mention Duan Cheng, it is me who also feels uncomfortable."
Bai Zhi sighed: "If there is a market nearby, we can buy some ingredients to improve our lives."
Doctor Shen waved his hand: "Where does this kind of market come from, almost no one lives here, and the soldiers in the military camp also grow the vegetables themselves, except for cabbage, they can't grow anything else, so they can only eat it every day. Cabbage." Doctor Shen was very helpless, feeling that he was about to become a cabbage.
"Why didn't the wounded be sent today? Another truce?" Bai Zhi asked.
Doctor Shen nodded: "It is said that this is the case. Marshal Wang will bring a hundred thousand troops to the border today, and they will be stationed five miles away. Until the two armies are integrated, there will be a truce."
Bai Zhi asked again: "Is this Marshal Wang from Kyoto? Will he fight?"
