Is bamboo rat delicious?
Definitely, even Junior Ms. Qian, who is afraid of them, thinks they taste better than chicken, not to mention the other villagers.
But these creatures are not easy to catch, especially in the bamboo forest, where they can disappear in a flash, darting into bamboo burrows or holes in the ground, and they're very fast.
Unless they're as lucky as Zhou SiLang and his company, to corner them in a shallow or single-exit hole.
The day after Zhou Wulang brought back two bamboo rats, the villagers headed to the mountain's bamboo forest to search for them, but despite a morning's effort, didn't even catch a glimpse of their shadows.
So, they had no choice but to head back down, where they saw Zhou Liulang playing with his friends, and they called him over for a chat to learn how they had managed to catch the bamboo rats.
