Chapter 18: Treasure Food in the Future Gu Chan urged, "Hurry up and tell me. When Zhao Erniu gets up, we will have to go into the mountains." [My stomach hurts and I can't digest the food I eat, so I've become so thin. ] "Pain in the stomach? Could it be a gastric ulcer? Can cows get gastric ulcers?" Gu Chan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Gastric ulcer is not a serious disease, but it is troublesome if you really get it. She had always thought that gastric ulcer was a disease that only humans could get, but now she understood that animals could also get this disease. Xiao Niu said with pain, "Maybe! I need to eat warm stomach grass to cure my stomach problems." "What does belly-warming grass look like?" Gu Chan asked. [The grass that is blood red and looks like a cow's tail is the warm belly grass. 】 Gu Chan nodded to comfort him, "Okay, leave it to me! I'll help you find belly-warming grass when I go into the mountains."
"Thank you, Twolegs." The calf nodded his huge bull head to express his gratitude. "Do you mysterious beasts all like to call people two-legged beasts?" Gu Chan asked curiously. Because from the beginning, when she could hear animals talking until now, every animal calls humans "two-legged beasts", which makes her speechless. The calf was so angry that he wanted to kill himself. [I call you two-legged beasts because I respect you.] "..."Gu Chan. Ok! As expected, in this world, animals are quite powerful and they even look down on humans. Of course, when it comes to strength, humans are not as good as these animals and beasts. There was no point in arguing with 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 Li, "I think your cow is a little unhealthy!" "Nonsense, do you really need to cut white silk grass to maintain your health?" Li was furious. The reason why I bought this cow is that I hope to cure it and make money! Gu Chan was talking about something else. Of course, she was not feeling well. Gu Chan laughed, "Okay, let's eat this half bowl of rice, and then we'll go into the mountains and cut a basket of grass to feed it." "You said it yourself! Don't let me go easily if you can't get it back." "Don't worry! It's not a big deal." Gu Chan waved her hand nonchalantly. Li squinted his eyes and glanced at her with a look of disdain. She thought to herself, these two were just kids after all, and too naive to be easily tricked by her. Gu Chan stared at her and sneered, secretly saying in her heart, "Just wait and see how I deal with you when I come back. You still want to trick me." "Then can we eat white rice now?" Ma Zheng, who was standing aside, couldn't wait any longer and asked while swallowing his saliva. Li nodded.
Ma Zheng immediately took half a bowl of white rice and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Gu Chan was not as greedy as him. She just slowly reached out and picked up her bowl of white rice, then grabbed a little and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully. Wow! She almost cried out when she tasted it. The white rice steamed in the steamer really tastes extraordinary. Although it is just ordinary white rice, when you put the cooked white rice grains into your mouth, the rich rice aroma spreads in your mouth. It is also soft and sticky when you chew it, and very easy to swallow. As Gu Chan took a mouthful of white rice, the fragrance lingered on her lips and teeth, and her taste buds also welcomed a different kind of satisfaction. "Hey! Before I came here, I couldn't finish a bowl of rice and threw it away. Now I feel satisfied after eating half a bowl. I wasted too much food before. From now on, I have to cherish food." While eating, Gu Chan said silently in her heart. Thinking back to her previous luxurious life, she didn't miss it at all, but instead felt a sense of regret. After coming here, she finally understood how difficult life is. Money is hard to earn, food is not tasty, and even if she wants to waste money, there is nothing to waste! "Oh! You guys started eating first." Just as Gu Chan was eating rice and lost in deep thought, Zhao Erniu's voice rang out in the room. He put on an animal skin and leather coat, and walked out with his bow and quiver on his back. Gu Chan quickly put the empty bowl back on the stove. Ma Zheng, however, kept licking the empty bowl, not leaving out any grain of rice in the bowl. "Stop licking it, it's just half a bowl of rice. Is it necessary for you to do that?" Gu Chan scolded, and quickly reached out to grab the empty bowl and put it back on the stove. Zhao Erniu watched and shook his head. Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't eat for free. I'll ask them to go into the mountains to help me cut grass to feed the cows." "Okay, it's a good thing to let them know that there is no free food in the world." Zhao Erniu nodded. After saying that, he walked forward, took a bowl and filled it with white rice, then sat next to Li and started eating. Li brought out a plate of pickles and a bowl of fried green worms from the house and placed them on the stove. The couple ate white rice with pickles and meat dishes, and their mouths were full of oil. Gu Chan and Ma Zheng could only stand by and watch, not to mention how greedy they were at the moment. Ma Zheng murmured, "When can I eat white rice with meat and vegetables?" "Look at what you have achieved. I tell you, if you follow me well, we will not only eat white rice with meat and vegetables, but also more delicacies from land and sea." Gu Chan vowed and began to make promises to Ma Zheng. Zhao Erniu and Li laughed when they heard this, thinking that Gu Chan was just a child who was not sensible and was just farting and dreaming! Gu Chan was too lazy to watch them eat, and immediately pulled Ma Zheng to run out of the yard, "Eat quickly, we'll wait for you at the door." "What? Master, you don't even call me?" Zhao Erniu started driving. "Master, I've called you, okay? Are you okay with that now?" Gu Chan yelled in dissatisfaction outside the door. Zhao Erniu nodded with satisfaction and felt his appetite improved as he ate. Half an incense stick of time later, Zhao Erniu finished his meal and made all the preparations. Then he said goodbye to his wife and left the house. He took Gu Chan and the others out of the village and set out on the road to the mountains behind the village. All the way into the mountain, Zhao Erniu was showing off.
"Let me tell you, if you want to learn hunting, you must first train your arm strength. The bow on my back weighs sixty stones. Most people can't even pull it. In the entire Jiuyang Village, there is no one else who can pull this bow except me, Zhao Erniu." "After I take you into the mountains today, you will just follow me the whole time and observe how I draw the bow and shoot arrows. You don't have to touch the bow, after all, your arms are too weak to draw the bow. Once you have learned the basics of drawing the bow and shooting arrows and your arm strength has increased, you can go to the market and buy a light bow each to 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, we just listen." Gu Chan looked impatient. She hated to see Zhao Erniu showing off in front of her. Zhao Erniu didn't care about her at all. He was just feeling good about himself and kept talking in their ears. It was not until the three of them finished walking along the mountain road and entered the forest that Zhao Erniu finally calmed down completely. He began to take out the bow and arrow from his back, and his expression became serious. Seeing his look, Gu Chan immediately took it seriously. Of course, she did not deny that at this moment, Zhao Erniu really looked like a hunter and was worthy of admiration. (End of this chapter)
