Grilled Bamboo Rat

After Lu Xiaoxiao finished watching five episodes of Chibi Maruko-chan, she rubbed her eyes with her hands and planned to go to the yard to see the green. Her eyes were a little sore from watching TV for a long time.

As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, she heard a knock on the door, so she went to the courtyard door to open the door.

"Xiaoxiao, please let me in quickly." Liu Ermei said to Lu Xiaoxiao immediately when Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door to the courtyard.

After Lu Xiaoxiao heard Liu Ermei's words, she immediately turned aside to let Liu Ermei enter the yard, and then she quickly closed the yard door.

"Second sister, is there anyone chasing you behind?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Ermei after closing the door.

"No."

"Then why were you in such a hurry to enter my house just now?"

"I'm afraid someone will smell the fragrance coming from the basket."

Lu Xiaoxiao heard Liu Ermei's words and was a little curious about what was in Liu Ermei's basket, so she asked Liu Ermei: "Er sister, what is in your basket?"

"See for yourself." After Liu Ermei finished speaking, she handed the basket to Lu Xiaoxiao.

After Lu Xiaoxiao took the basket handed to her by Liu Ermei, she was not in a hurry to see what was in the basket, but pulled Liu Ermei, who was sweating profusely, towards the house.

"Second sister, drink some water to cool down first. I see you are sweating profusely." Lu Xiaoxiao poured a glass of water for Liu Ermei and said.

"Thanks."

Lu Xiaoxiao opened the basket Liu Ermei gave her while she was drinking water. When she saw the contents in the basket, she couldn't help but tremble.

"Second sister, could the thing in the basket be a mouse?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Ermei after swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Not a rat."

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the thing in the basket was not a mouse. Although she was not afraid of mice, she couldn't do it if she was asked to eat mice.

"Xiaoxiao, although the thing in the basket is not a mouse, it is very similar to a mouse. The thing in the basket is a bamboo rat.

Yesterday, my dad dug up a nest of bamboo rats in the mountains. I left the two fattest ones for you and asked my dad to bake them for you. You can just eat them directly. "

"Hehe...hehe...thank you, second sister, but I've already had dinner. I'll eat the bamboo rat tomorrow."

"No, bamboo rats only taste good if they are roasted and eaten right away. They won't taste good tomorrow."

"It's okay. I'll just bake it again tomorrow. I ate too much tonight and I really can't eat anything."

"It's such a pity. You don't know how delicious roasted bamboo rats are. I ate two of them in one go this afternoon. If my stomach hadn't been able to hold them all, I would have wanted to eat another one."

"Haha... do you want to eat another one now?" Lu Xiaoxiao pushed the basket towards Liu Ermei and said.

"No, my stomach is still full right now."

"Then I'll put away the bamboo rats."

"Put it away quickly."

After Lu Xiaoxiao put away the bamboo rats, she put half a catty of glutinous rice sticks into the basket, and then handed the basket to Liu Ermei.

After Liu Ermei took the basket handed to her by Lu Xiaoxiao, she got off the kang and went home. There were still several bamboo rats at home that were not roasted, and she wanted to go home to help.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after Liu Ermei left. Fortunately, Liu Ermei didn't keep letting her eat bamboo rats, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.

"Button, button, button... button, button, button..."

When Lu Xiaoxiao was about to take out dinner from the space, she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door again, so she had to get off the kang and go to the courtyard to open the door.
