Chapter 16: I was caught accidentally
The time of early summer has not yet arrived, and the bamboo shoots on the mountain are already dense, everywhere, and can be seen everywhere, and the mountains here should belong to Danian Mountain.
Danian Mountain is different from Xiaonian Mountain, the bamboo shoots of Danian Mountain are used to raise bamboo, which means that the bamboo shoots on Danian Mountain can not be easily dug, and the bamboo shoots here will become moso bamboo after they grow up, and in the coming year, the original old moso bamboo will be cut down, leaving these bamboo shoots to grow into new bamboo after moso bamboo.
Generally speaking, there will be a forest ranger guarding the mountain in Danian to prevent villagers with other intentions from stealing.
Nowadays, although bamboo is not very valuable, bamboo shoots are still very valuable, and part of the villagers' income comes from bamboo shoots.
Fresh bamboo shoots, but a delicacy, bamboo shoots fried meat, bamboo shoots after chopping, mixed with eggs, can be made into a stuffy egg, that taste, is known to everyone in the mountains.
Especially the big yellow bud head, that is, the bamboo shoot tip is very yellow, the flesh is particularly white bamboo shoots, mixed with salty pig's trotters, put in the pressure cooker for a press, when it is served, not to mention how fragrant the taste is, especially the root of the bamboo shoots, it tastes crispy and crispy, and it is delicious enough to make you hold three bowls of rice in a row!
In addition, most of the bamboo shoots, the first people would put the bamboo shoots into a large pot, after boiling water churning, then take them out, cut them into thin slices, and dried bamboo shoots, which can be sold directly, which is a source of experience for the villagers.
In addition, dried bamboo shoots can also be boiled together with soybeans and peanuts to make delicious bamboo shoots and soybeans, and after the bamboo shoots and soybeans are cooked, the villagers will put the bamboo shoots and soybeans in the sun and expose them to the sun.
Li Yan remembers that when he was a child, when he went out to play with children, all the children would have bamboo shoots and soybeans in their pockets, so to speak, these bamboo shoots and soybeans are the snacks of the children in the mountains.
The place where Li Yan took Wen Ying up the mountain was not very steep, but it was more difficult to walk, and when the two of them reached a platform, Wen Ying was already out of breath.
"I didn't expect it to be so tiring to climb a mountain. Wen Ying bent over, panting, tired and didn't want to speak.
Li Yan smiled: "It shows that you usually lack exercise." ”
"No, I usually pay attention to exercise. Wen Ying immediately retorted and quibbled, "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night." ”
After Wen Ying rested for a while, she came to her senses, and was suddenly full of interest in the bamboo shoots all over the mountain.
Looking here and touching there, it's like a child who sees his favorite toy and jumps out of it.
Wen Ying didn't take a few steps, and her mouth would be chattering: "Wow, this bamboo shoot is really big, so thick." ”
"Wow, this bamboo shoot is so tall!"
"Hey, this bamboo shoot is so small. ”
Li Yan followed behind, wanting to laugh but not smiling, it is estimated that Wen Ying's freshness should be maintained for a long time, and it is even possible to forget the original purpose of coming here today.
"By the way, Li Yan, why are there so many bamboo shoots on the mountain here? Isn't there anyone digging them?" Wen Ying turned around, looked at Li Yan, and asked puzzledly.
It stands to reason that the bamboo shoots on this mountain are not used to dig and eat?
Of course, this is Wen Ying's thinking, in Wen Ying's opinion, so many bamboo shoots, if you don't dig them to make a delicacy, what a pity!
Li Yan explained with a smile: "This is Danian Mountain, and the bamboo shoots on Danian Mountain cannot be easily dug up. ”
"Why?" Wen Ying still didn't understand, "Also, why is it called Danian Mountain?"
Li Yan continued to explain: "Because, the bamboo shoots here are going to grow into bamboo, so they can't be easily dug up. ”
"Of course, the big year mountain corresponds to the small year mountain, and the small year mountain has fewer bamboo shoots, and it is difficult to grow into moso bamboo. ”
Wen Ying nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Li Yan was quite powerful, but she still didn't understand.
However, Wen Ying didn't delve into this issue, in case Li Yan underestimated himself, it wouldn't be very good, well, it's better not to ask.
Li Yan naturally wouldn't know Wen Ying's thoughts, of course, even if he knew, Li Yan didn't know how to explain it to Wen Ying.
Li Yan doesn't understand the distinction between Xiaonian Mountain and Danian Mountain, and he can only judge it by the density of bamboo shoots.
Li Yan still remembers that when he went to Xiaonian Mountain with his parents to dig winter bamboo shoots, he often couldn't dig a few of them, and sometimes, he would even return empty-handed.
At that time, my mother would often make fun of Li Yan, her eyes were not good enough, and even if she was a farmer in the future, she would not be able to do well, and she would not even be able to dig up bamboo shoots.
At that time, Li Yan would retort, not that he couldn't dig up the bamboo shoots, but that the bamboo shoots ran away when he saw him, and his eyes couldn't keep up, so how could he blame himself.
Every time he thinks of that scene, Li Yan feels funny, he is really an unqualified mountain man.
Li Yan followed Wen Ying's footsteps, along the path, all the way forward.
At this time, Wen Ying suddenly shouted.
"Li Yan, Li Yan, come over quickly. ”
Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward, and Wen Ying was already squatting on the ground, looking at his feet.
"Look, the soil here is arched so high, and the sides are cracked, you say, are there big bamboo shoots in it?" Wen Ying pointed to the pile of dirt arched under her feet and said excitedly.
Li Yan took a closer look, and it was true, maybe there was a yellow bud hidden inside.
Li Yan found a stick the thickness of his fingers nearby and dug into the arched dirt.
When Li Yan dug up the soil, he really revealed a yellow bud head, which was obviously a yellow bud head in good condition.
"Can you dig it up?" asked Wen Ying with some anticipation.
"Give it a try. Li Yan vigorously removed the soil around the bamboo shoots, while observing the direction of the bamboo shoots, and spent a lot of effort to expose most of the yellow bud head.
Unfortunately, the soil around the bamboo shoots has been arched loosely by the bamboo shoots, and it is not very difficult to dig up.
Li Yan continued to exert his strength, and Wen Ying also used a stick to help clean up the excess dirt.
If it was at this time, how good it would be to have a hoe, Li Yan thought silently in his heart, but he didn't stop working hard in his hands, and soon, a big pit was dug around Huang Yatou, and the whole picture of Huang Yatou was displayed in front of the two of them.
Just as Li Yan was about to break the yellow bud head from the root, an abrupt sound came into the ears of the two of them, startling the two of them.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The person who came rushed over violently, and when he saw the yellow bud head that had been dug up, he was suddenly a little angry!
