Chapter 20 Roast mouse, isn't it delicious?

The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Ya stood on the roof of the house with a horse riding stake.

At this moment, more than half of his hair was soaked in sweat, and even his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

"This body needs more exercise in the future."

Chen Ya gritted his teeth and said, after standing for two hours, he climbed down from the roof and went to check the mousetrap placed last night.

Not long after, Chen Ya came to the nearby aisle, and sure enough, he saw a big black mouse locked in the mousetrap beside the broken sofa, and it was squeaking and screaming at this moment.

squeak... squeak...

"Haha, here comes the protein."

Chen Ya smiled, and the piece of low-quality jerky in the mousetrap was also eaten by the big black mouse.

Greedy enough, I like it!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ya found three other mouse traps, only to find that they all caught a mouse the size of a hare.

Obviously, there are still many rats in the gathering place. In fact, wherever there are humans, there must be rats.

After a while, Chen Ya took four mouse traps and returned to the shed with a full harvest.

Now he wants to process the prey and roast it directly!

He has already prepared firewood and so on, and now he just needs to kill the big black mouse.

However, Chen Ya opened a cage and quickly grabbed a mouse, before the mouse could struggle.

Click! ~
In the next second, Chen Ya directly twisted its neck.

For the prey, Chen Ya never had any compassion, and then he peeled the skin, turned the head, removed the internal organs, and then put all the inedible things into a garbage bag.

Then, the treated rats were strung on a clean steel bar.

Chen Ya took out the miniature nuclear energy battery, connected the positive and negative poles with two wires, then squatted down, held a wire in each hand, and lightly touched the two wires against the wood chips used to start the fire on the ground.

Crack! ~
Strong electric sparks appeared, almost blinding Chen Ya's eyes, and the electric sparks also ignited the sawdust tinder.

Chen Ya quickly put down the wires, picked up a few pieces of wood and put them on the tinder, and then blew a few breaths.

call! ~
Soon, broken wood ignited by sparks, orange-red flames appeared.

"Barbecue, let's go!"

Chen Ya smiled and placed a few pieces of rotten wood. While increasing the flame, he also placed steel bars on a simple barbecue rack, which he made last night.

Afterwards, Chen Ya disposed of the other three big black mice together, and they were all strung on the steel bar for roasting.

crackle! ~
There was a sound in the fire, and the four fat and big black mice were roasted by the flames, and the surface gradually overflowed with grease, and at the same time, they also emitted the aroma of roasted meat.

"It's a pity there is no salt."

Chen Ya thought for a while, and simply took out a low-level nutrient, and then spread it on the surface of the mouse.

There is salt in the nutrient, so it can naturally be used as a condiment.

However, Chen Ya was seen turning the rat skewers so that the flames roasted them evenly, and at the same time he said:
"Should they be here soon?"

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Monkey, here we come!"

Niu Pi knocked on the door and shouted, there were Zilin and others beside him, but Big Nose smelled the fragrance wafting from the hole in the roof, so he couldn't help swallowing immediately.

Is there really meat to eat?

At this moment, Chen Ya also opened the iron door, and the four friends were all excited when they saw the skewers of barbecue inside the house!

"come on in!"

Chen Ya called his friends to come in, while Niu Pi stared at the barbecue and said excitedly:
"Monkey, you are so awesome!"

"Can you eat?"

A big nose is more direct. Chen Ya nodded and said with a smile:
"Of course, each of us has one barbecue. Zilin and Bingjiaomei have a small appetite, so they each have half a barbecue."

This distribution, everyone has no opinion.

Chen Ya picked up the rat skewers and shared the barbecue with the four of them. As soon as he got the cowhide, he opened his mouth and took a bite without caring about the heat.

The meat is a little tight, but the flavor is quite good.

“Delicious! So delicious!”

Niu Pi exclaimed, even after Big Nose took a bite, he couldn't help but praise:
"tasty."

But at this moment, Zi Lin looked at the half roasted meat in his hand and said in doubt:

"Little monkey, what kind of meat is this? Why does it still have a tail?"

Because the head was removed, the four of them could not tell what kind of animal the barbecue was for the time being, but Chen Ya said mysteriously:
"Well... let's talk after we finish eating."

Hearing this, Zi Lin was a little doubtful, but he still started to eat the barbecue. Chen Ya took a few bites of the barbecue and found that except that the meat was a bit woody, the taste was no different from ordinary barbecue.

In this way, five people were eating delicious barbecue in the shed.

As a child who is used to suffering, he has almost no resistance to barbecue. All of them are like starving ghosts, each bite is crunchy, and the bones are almost gnawed.

Chen Ya smiled and was thinking about some issues while eating barbecue.

After thinking about it for a long time last night, he didn't think of any good way to make money.

After all, he spent all his money on scavenging and selling in the market, and now Chen Ya doesn't even have a bottle cap.

Therefore, even if there is a way to make money, there is no principal.

How to make money?

First off, looting doesn't work.

The punishment for petty theft in the gathering place is very severe. Basically, as long as you catch it, you will chop your hands directly.

Chen Ya was a little troubled, but fortunately Big Nose was eating barbecue and said at the same time:
"I heard that Lao Tie and Xiao Long seem to have made a lot of money recently."

"I know! They are doing business on the south wall." Cowhide said.

Do business?
Chen Ya became interested and couldn't help asking:

"What business do they do?"

"do not know."

Niu Pi shook his head. Seeing this, Chen Ya said:

"After the barbecue, we will also go to the south wall for a walk."

"Okay."

Zi Lin nodded in agreement, Big Nose and Niu Hide naturally had no objection, and the so-called south wall was right next to Shelter 404. The distance was not too far, it could be reached in more than ten minutes on foot.

5 minute later.

The barbecue turned into a pile of bones. The cowhide wiped the oil stains from his mouth and said happily:
"It was delicious, the best roast I've ever had!"

It's like you've had barbecue.

Chen Ya was a little amused, and Big Nose also asked:
'Monkey, what kind of meat are we eating?'

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Chen Ya said:
"You're eating...rats."

mouse?

The four of them were stunned. The cowhide and the big nose were nothing, but the purple scales and the yandere girl almost vomited.

Especially the sickly girl, who screamed in fright:

"Big... big old Xu?"

Elder Xu?

I'm still in Dajiju. Chen Ya rolled his eyes, indicating that he was trying to be cute, and then looked at the four of them and asked:
"Roast mouse, isn't it delicious?"

"Smells, it smells so good! I want to eat it again tomorrow!"

Niu Pi excitedly said, Chen Ya couldn't help but smiled and nodded:
"No problem, tomorrow will still be at this point, and there will be a roast mouse meal in the morning."

"I agree!"

Big Nose smiled, but Zilin said with disgust on his face:
"It's disgusting, I don't want to eat it."

"But you still ate."

Chen Ya laughed out loud, and after tidying up briefly, he and his four friends went to the south wall, intending to see what kind of business Lao Tie and Xiao Long were doing.

Instead of sitting at home and thinking about ways to make money, it's better to go out more often.

Maybe he can get some inspiration from this trip?

In fact, the novice tasks are still very simple.

For five days, earn two hundred waste earth coins every day.

Even if it can't be completed, the big deal is to sell the micro-nuclear energy battery!

Even if necessary, Chen Ya can copy the blueprints of the exoskeleton and start a business of reselling the blueprints, first get the rewards.

Of course!
There was no other way, and Chen Ya would not do that unless it was absolutely necessary.

Soon, Chen Ya and his friends set off towards the south wall.
