This Is My Primitive Tribe

Chapter 43: domesticated bamboo rat

After returning to the tribe, everyone was very excited to see that Jiang Xuan and the others actually caught a litter of big bamboo rats.

"Boss, can this big bamboo rat be eaten?" Nan Xing exclaimed excitedly.

Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "Why don't you think about it, if you eat this female bamboo rat, what will happen to the three little ones?"

Nan Xing scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "It seems that too, these three little bamboo rats seem to be still feeding."

Jiang Xuan said again: "Don't worry, in the future, when they breed more, they will be able to eat them sooner or later."

The loach on the side said: "I have eaten roasted bamboo rat. The skin is roasted to golden brown, and after it cracks, oil flows out. It's very fragrant."

When he said this, everyone stared at the big bamboo rats and secretly drooled, making the big bamboo rats in the animal skin bag tremble.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly warned: "I repeat, these big bamboo rats are used for breeding, and no one is allowed to attack them. If anyone dares to roast this big bamboo rat secretly, I will kill him."

After Jiang Xuan said this, everyone immediately became honest. After all, it is a very stupid thing to anger the leader in order to eat a big bamboo rat.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the crowd, then carried the animal skin bag and walked to the place where Big Horn was breeding insects.

Dajiao has newly dug a small cave, less than two meters deep, one person tall, and looks relatively round.

When Jiang Xuan passed by carrying the animal skin bag, Dajiao was still repairing the new cave. If there was enough time, he could dig deeper.

"Dajiao, the big bamboo rat has been dug up and will be handed over to you for domestication in the future."

Dajiao hurriedly put down his tools, walked out of the cave, and took the animal skin bag in Jiang Xuan's hand.

"Don't worry, boss, I will take care of these big bamboo rats."

Jiang Xuan explained to Dajiao the main points of raising bamboo rats, for example, don't feed water, just dig some water-rich Miscanthus roots to feed it, or try feeding them small bamboos, fresh reeds and other plants.

In addition, if the female giant bamboo rat is pregnant, it should be kept separately from the male giant bamboo rat, so that the male giant bamboo rat will not kill the young for the sake of the crotch.

These experiences are all acquired by Jiang Xuan from breeding bamboo rats in his previous life.

He is not as good as Chishao when it comes to digging big bamboo rats on the mountain, but he has quite a lot of experience when it comes to raising bamboo rats.

"Do you remember it all?" After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Dajiao.

"Remember." Dajiao said with a pointed finger: "Don't feed water, feed grass roots, small bamboos, and reeds. After the mother bamboo rats are pregnant, they will be raised separately..."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said again: "Also, if the big bamboo rat gives birth to a cub in the future, when the cub has not grown hair and can't run, don't look at it or touch it, otherwise the cub will be infected. If you smell human, you will be bitten to death by the female bamboo rat."

"Boss, I remember it."

Dajiao tried his best to remember everything Jiang Xuan said, but Jiang Xuan said too much, and he was actually a little confused.

When Jiang Xuan saw his appearance, he knew what was going on.

"Don't be nervous, just remember the previous ones. If you forget or are unsure about something, just come and ask me directly, and I will come to see it often in the future."

"That's great." Big Horn let out a long breath.

"Okay, I'll leave this nest of big bamboo rats to you. If you raise them well, we will dig more of them in the future."

"Don't worry, chief, I will try my best to take care of them." Dajiao patted his chest and assured.

Jiang Xuan nodded and planned to leave.

But he just took two steps before he fell back, carefully observed the cave in Dajiao, and frowned: "The colorful ducks can be raised in the cave, just make a wooden door, but the big bamboo rats can't, they dig holes. It's too powerful to run away."

"Ah? Then... what should we do?"

Dajiao didn't expect that after digging the cave for a long time, he couldn't keep the big bamboo rat.

Jiang Xuan frowned and thought about it for a long time, then said, "Unless, the ground and walls are built with stones so that they can't dig."

"It's too late today, don't let the big bamboo rats out, let them stay in the animal skin bag, tomorrow I'll find someone to come over and build a cave."

"it is good."

Jiang Xuan returned to the bamboo house, while Big Horn put the animal skin bag beside him. As long as there was a little movement, he would immediately get up to see if the animal skin bag was bitten through.

Fortunately, after the night had passed, the animal skin bag was still intact.

The next day, Jiang Xuan brought three people, first went to the creek to dig a few large baskets of clay, made a good mud, and then found a lot of stones, and laid stones on the ground and walls of the cave bit by bit. .

The reason for using clay is that the reconciled clay is closer to cement, and it is not easy to crack after drying, unlike ordinary soil that cracks and falls down as soon as it dries.

After the ground and walls of the entire small cave were filled with stones, Jiang Xuan built a third of the entrance of the cave, leaving a door for people to enter and exit.

In this position, a wooden fence door needs to be placed, so that it is more convenient to go in to clean up dirty things or feed food.

Of course, the wood used for this fence door must be hard enough and thick enough, otherwise it will be easy to be gnawed by the bamboo rat and escape.

In fact, it is better to use iron gates, but this is a primitive tribe, and there is no such condition.

After finishing the wooden gate, Jiang Xuan found a lot of soft grass and threw it into the hole, letting them make nests and hide.

In the end, Jiang Xuan had someone chop some fresh reeds, dug up some Miscanthus roots and threw them into the hole to serve as food for the bamboo rat.

"Okay, you can put the bamboo rat in now."

There are a lot of Miscanthus roots in the animal skin bag, which were dug up during the process of digging the bamboo rat. When I returned, I also stuffed some into the animal skin bag and used it as food for the female bamboo rat.

Dajiao poured these Miscanthus roots, as well as the big bamboo rat and the small bamboo rat, out of the animal skin bag and put them into the built cave.

The big bamboo rat quickly got into the pile of grass to hide, UU reading www. uukanshu. com followed by the three little bamboo rats.

Jiang Xuanguan closed the wooden gate and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuan turned his head and said to the three people who came to help: "Everyone has worked hard, we will eat meat at night."

The three of them immediately smiled brightly. For the tribesmen, as long as they can eat enough, it is nothing to do some work. Having meat to eat makes them more motivated.

Jiang Xuan said to Dajiao again, "Take a good look at this cave, and listen to the movement at night. Don't let the big bamboo rat run away."

"Don't worry, chief, I live here, no movement can escape my ears."

Since Jiang Xuan asked Dajiao to be responsible for the breeding, Dajiao has asked people to help. They built a bamboo house in front of these caves. They usually eat and live here, take care of insects and colorful ducks, and now there are a few more big bamboo rats.

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Go over and get a piece of meat in a while, you can stew it in a clay pot, or roast it."

"I... do I have a share too?" Da Jiao couldn't believe it.

Jiang Xuan said with a smile: "Of course you have a share. You have worked hard these days. Everyone eats meat tonight, how can you be left behind?"

"Thank you boss, thank you boss..."

Dajiao kept thanking him. This feeling of being recognized made him very excited.

"Don't thank me, you deserve it."

Jiang Xuan patted Dajiao's shoulder and said, "Do it well, although we only have four colorful ducks and four big bamboo rats, as long as you keep them well, they will multiply into countless colorful ducks sooner or later. An unclear big bamboo rat."

"One day, the whole tribe will eat meat because of you, and everyone will thank you."

"Um!"

Dajiao nodded heavily, his face flushed with excitement.
