According to Uncle Zhang's experience and Zhang Fan's skills, everyone successively found a small mound with bamboo shoots at the bottom of the bamboo at their feet, and prepared to dig with a hoe.

Just when Chen Baoli wanted to hoe down at the small mound in front of him, Zhang Fan opened his mouth to stop him: "Brother Chen, if you hoe in this direction, the bamboo shoots will be broken in two!"

"Which direction are you going to hoe?" Chen Baoli asked, stopping the hoe in his hand.

After Zhang Fan walked over and took a look, he peeled off the surface layer and said, "This bamboo shoot is curved, and it can be judged that the bamboo shoot body is also curved." Therefore, which side the head of the beard is facing, the place where the bamboo shoots and the bamboo whip are connected is also on which side. Therefore, it is right to dig down from the side where the head is facing. ”

Following the direction pointed by Zhang Fan, Chen Baoli carefully used a hoe to hoe most of the soil on the side of the bamboo shoots, and when he dug the part where the bamboo shoots and the bamboo whip were connected, he was stopped.

"At this time, it is very important to pay attention to the location of the hoe, not too close and not too far. For a person like Brother Chen, who is holding a hoe for the first time, it is not easy to break bamboo shoots with a hoe!" Zhang Fan reminded seriously.

Because the soil of this connection is peeled away, you can clearly see that the base of the bamboo shoot gradually thins and then connects with the bamboo whip. It's just that this connection point doesn't look much bigger than a mosquito, and it's commonly known as a "screw head".

Bamboo shoots are grown in the sunshine and rain through the use of bamboo whips and bamboo seeds.

Therefore, when the bamboo shoots are broken, they should be cut off from the "screw head" and the base of the young bamboo shoots that are close to the thickness of the "screw head". Otherwise, if it is cut off at will, the remaining bamboo shoots will continue to absorb nutrients from the bamboo whip species before they rot, which will affect the growth of other bamboo shoots in this bamboo whip.

At this time, if the hoe is too close, it is easy to hurt the bamboo shoots, and if it is too far, it will hurt too many bamboo whips. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the distance between the place where the hoe is picked and the bamboo shoot, and then hoe down.

Wang Feihong, who came over to watch, also felt bad after hearing this, "Who knows if the hoe will be off?

"Hehe, there must be!" Zhang Fan took a flat chisel with a wider mouth and a hammer from the basket, pointed the chisel at the "screw head", and said to Chen Baoli: "Brother Chen, take a hammer and hit the chisel." In this way, it is easy to borrow fire by cutting off the bamboo shoots completely. ”

Soon, under Zhang Fan's instructions, Chen Baoli successfully cut off the "screw head" and used some strength to get the bamboo shoots out completely.

Looking at the tender yellow bamboo shoots he dug up by himself, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that digging a bamboo shoot is so knowledgeable!"

"Haha, otherwise you think it's so easy to be a farmer. Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"This bamboo shoot has a tender yellow shell and a small tail, and its bamboo shoot meat must be particularly tender and delicious!" Zhou Yuhang picked up the bamboo shoot and looked at it, and said like an expert.

"Hehe, this shows that I have a good eye!" Chen Baoli said proudly as he was satisfied with his first trophy.

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter: What does this bamboo shoot have to do with your vision?

After laughing, Zhang Fan advised: "After everyone digs out the bamboo shoots, they must fill the soil back." In this way, the bamboo whip can be prevented from being affected, and then the bamboo shoots will grow again the next year. ”

After more than half an hour of hard work, the bamboo shoots dug up by everyone were already filled with a dustpan.

"It's almost enough, let's go back." Uncle Zhang Liye packed up his tools, put the basket in the middle of the hoe, and carried it home with Zhang Fan.

"After digging so much, you can make a whole bamboo shoot feast at night!" The aunt came over to peel the bamboo shoots, wash them and set them aside.

Seeing that the washed bamboo shoots were white in color and the bamboo shoots were extremely close to each other, Zhou Yuhang couldn't help but itch his hands, "Auntie, let me also fry a bamboo shoot later, and I'll have a good time." ”

"There's no reason to let the guests cook? Go to the house to rest, I'm busy here. The aunt politely refused.

"See. It's rare to dig up such a good quality bamboo shoot, so I want to cook. By the way, is there salted meat?" Zhou Yuhang continued.

"Not at home. I asked Xiaofan where he could buy it. ”

Before the aunt could ask, Zhang Fan, who had changed the clothes, walked into the kitchen and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

"It's just cured meat! It's best to be from Shu Province, the cut surface is bright red, and the fat is slightly yellow. It is perfect for making spring bamboo shoots with southern meat. Zhou Yuhang explained.

"Well, I'm afraid Uncle Sancai's small supermarket can't sell it. I'll go to the Zhu Youfu Hotel and ask. Zhang Fan thought for a while and said.

He also has a little understanding of the dish that Zhou Yuhang wants to make, and it is said to be one of the 36 famous dishes in Hangzhou. Mainly use thin-skinned pork belly and fresh spring bamboo shoots to cook together, wait for the bamboo shoots to be cooked, put in condiments, drizzle with chicken fat, and put in blanched cabbage.

Of course, this southern meat spring bamboo shoot is so famous, and there is also the credit of Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty. Su Weng Xizhu loves meat is well known, and once wrote a poem saying: "You can make food without meat, you can't live without bamboo, no meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar." ”

Someone picked up his words and said: "If you are not thin and good, it is best to eat bamboo shoots and roast pork." It can be seen that this dish is elegant and vulgar, and it is a seasonal delicacy that is loved by people!

Subsequently, Zhang Fan called Zhu Youfu Hotel and asked, knowing that people do not have salted meat in Shu Province but there are ordinary cured meat, "Ordinary cured meat, okay?"

"That's fine! It's good to have six or seven taels, and the taste won't be too bad." Zhou Yuhang replied.

After waiting for the people to bring the cured meat, he and his aunt showed their skills in the kitchen and made a delicious whole bamboo shoot feast, including a copy of the southern meat spring bamboo shoots, stewed pork ribs with spring bamboo shoots, soy fragrant spring bamboo shoots, spring bamboo shoots loin, four treasures spring bamboo shoots, jade spring bamboo shoots, etc.

When preparing to start the meal, Jiang Tao sent the analysis report on the composition of camellia oil, "What day is today?

"It's not a day, it's just that the rain stops and I go dig a basket of spring shoots and come back. Dr. Jiang, come and eat together. Take the report to Zhou Yuhang, and Zhang Fan will go and get an extra pair of chopsticks and come out.

After taking the dishes and chopsticks, Jiang Tao was not polite, and reached out to the plate of reproduced southern meat spring bamboo shoots. With a piece of cured meat and bamboo shoots together, "this meat is tender and fragrant, especially this spring bamboo shoot is particularly tender and delicious." It is no wonder that the poet Li Shangyin once wrote, "The tender fragrant buds are just emerging from the forest, and the price is as heavy as gold in the tomb." ’”

These intellectuals are more literate than ordinary people! Unlike them, they are more likely to boast that they are really delicious, too delicious, super delicious, and so on, and they are running out of words.

"I heard that Tang Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also liked to eat bamboo shoots. As soon as the spring bamboo shoots are listed, it is necessary to convene the ministers to produce a 'bamboo shoot banquet', using bamboo shoots to symbolize the prosperity of national affairs, and to compare the Tang Dynasty with many talents in the world, just like 'bamboo shoots after the rain'. If there is salted meat in Shu Province, it will be a must!" Zhou Yuhang was still a little regretful.

"You keep talking, don't blame us for finishing the dishes!" Wang Feihong said with a wicked smile.

"It would be better if this bamboo shoot was produced with energy!" Manager Liang hinted at the boss's business.

"Don't bother me with this. If you have time, send someone to pull the yellow eel away, and you have to prepare to raise ornamental fish!" Zhang Fan quickly changed the topic.
