Chapter 222: After the Time of Digging Bamboo Shoots

"The year before last and last year, I followed an old Yimu up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and I am quite experienced, and I will come to look for bamboo shoots later. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Jiang Hua's hoe was taken over by Lin Zeng, and she had nothing in her hand, she was a little unaccustomed to it.

Lao Yimu means an old woman in the Qinghe dialect. Lin had lived in Qinghe City for several years, but he could understand this simple dialect.

"Actually, when I heard you say digging bamboo shoots, I've always had a puzzle, aren't bamboo shoots only available in spring? Why are there bamboo shoots in autumn at this time?" Lin Zeng's hometown is in the northwest region, and he is not very clear about the natural environment of Haixi Province.

"In this area of Lingnan, bamboo shoots can be found in the mountains in all seasons, spring bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, green bamboo, bamboo wool, June hemp and bitter bamboo shoots, different varieties, the season of growth and digging is different. Do you remember the spotted bamboo shoots that I pulled in the mountains that were only the size of a coin? The bamboo shoots are available in all seasons, and when they grow up, the bamboo is not big, so it is the most suitable bamboo pole. Jiang Hua knew a lot about this, and she explained as she led the way.

"The little bamboo shoots were delicious. Lin Zeng thought of the last big pot of fried pork slices with bamboo shoots, both in terms of weight and taste, it was endlessly memorable.

"The bamboo shoots have a crisp taste and a slight fragrance of bamboo leaves, but the taste is light, which is more suitable for adding sake lees or pickling. Jiang Hua was very familiar with the road, and instead of following the mountain road, he climbed up from a one-meter-high dirt slope and took a shortcut directly, "The spring bamboo shoots you said don't actually taste the best." The more popular among residents in this area are winter bamboo shoots, also known as sweet bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots are thick, crisp and sweet in the mouth, and can even be cooked directly, and the taste is also very good. There is also the variety of June hemp in summer, which is bitter and sweet, and you have to be able to pick and choose in order to find delicious bamboo shoots. The most special bitter bamboo shoots, the essence of the taste, are all in the bitter taste of the bamboo shoots. There is a real taste in the bitterness, the more people who like it, the more they love to eat, and those who don't like it don't touch a bite, it is stinky tofu in bamboo shoots, durian fruit in bamboo shoots. ”

Lin Zeng had never heard this knowledge before, and he found it very interesting.

However, according to the instinct of his breeding apprentice, he subconsciously thought that if he used bamboo shoots to refine seeds, what kind of special plants would appear?

Later, there will be a chance to stuff it into the breeding space, and I will have time to refine it.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, Lin Zeng and Jiang Hua left the mountain road and approached the road, but there was no road surface at all. Relying on Jiang Hua's familiarity with the terrain, I walked for about ten minutes, and sure enough, I saw a bamboo forest.

"What kind of bamboo is this?" Lin Zeng stepped on the crunchy bamboo leaves, looked up, and there were only dense bamboo leaves, blocking the sky. He reached out and curiously touched the purple bamboo body in the dark green, "How can there be a layer of purple?"

"To be honest, I don't know. Jiang Hua shook her head, she looked down at the ground under her feet, from time to time she brushed aside the dried bamboo leaves covering the ground, and stepped on a few feet with her feet, judging that she was obviously judging the location of the bamboo shoots, "This bamboo forest was discovered by Lao Yimu, who took me to dig bamboo shoots." She's been digging by herself for more than 20 years, and this year she can't move her body, so I'll be self-reliant and call you by the way. This bamboo shoot has a bit of a lilac flesh, which is very special, and I haven't found this kind of bamboo shoot anywhere else. Eh, here's one, excavation. ”

With Jiang Hua's order, Lin Zeng's hoe fell, and according to her instructions, the bamboo shoot was dug out without hurting the bamboo whip.

Jiang Hua handed over the task to Lin Zeng, and continued to explore in the bamboo forest, and found a bamboo shoot that could be excavated, and used a hoe to clean up the vicinity as a marker for later excavation.

Lin Zeng dug bamboo shoots for the first time, and he was not very skilled at first, but after practicing a few more hoes, his posture was already very sophisticated. He cut through the soil around the bamboo shoots and dug up to the roots. Jiang Hua also chose several excavation locations, walked to Lin Zeng's side, and assisted him in digging out the bamboo shoots that had not yet been drilled out of the ground.

After a assistance, Lin Zeng has basically mastered the skill of digging bamboo shoots, and then without the help of Jiang Hua, he can always dig out the bamboo shoots very efficiently and perfectly.

Jiang Hua itself is the master of women's eyebrows, a hoe can lift a large piece of red soil, and deal with the bamboo shoots buried in the ground, completely with ease.

In less than two hours, they had achieved abundant results, and the hard-shelled bamboo shoots with red soil had been piled up.

In order to facilitate transportation, they peeled off the bamboo shoot shells and bamboo shoot pockets, and the weight of these shells was heavier than the edible bamboo shoot meat inside.

The peeled bamboo shoots were filled with two chemical fiber bags, and Lin Zeng did not count them, about 20 more.

The bamboo shoots they dug were quite large, and each peeled off the shell, about three or four catties.

Jiang Hua finished bundling the bag and picked up a chemical fiber bag in one hand, and Lin Zeng was not to be outdone, and lifted the other with a smile.

Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows, intending to pick up two hoes, but Lin Zeng didn't say a word, and carried the bag containing bamboo shoots on his shoulder, and got the two hoes one step ahead of Jiang Hua.

Lin Zeng planned to return the same way, but Jiang Hua called out to him and said, "Go back and take your things, it's not easy to go the same way, you have to take another way." ”

To be honest, Lin Zeng's strength is by no means small in the eyes of ordinary people. When I worked in the supermarket, I helped unload the goods, and my arms also exercised small muscles. It's a pity that he still belongs to the category of normal people, and when compared with Jiang Hua, it is a little inadequate.

However, no matter how badly Lin Zeng's hand trembling with the bag, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks, he followed Jiang Hua's steps closely and did not lag at all.

On the way, there was little conversation between the two.

Lin Zeng was so tired that he couldn't speak, and Jiang Hua looked back from time to time and looked at him worriedly.

When they finally returned to the place where the electric car was parked, Jiang Hua finally couldn't help but speak:

"Actually, you don't have to care about Ah Jiu's words, I have my own way of life, which is different from others. I was born with a lot of strength and was able to take a lot of things. ”

Jiang Hua turned his head to look at Lin Zeng, his face was flushed, his forehead was full of sweat, his arms trembled slightly, and he tried to adjust his breathing and suppressed the sound of panting.

Lin Zeng took a deep breath and let his breath return to normal.

He looked at Jiang Hua's pale brown eyes, and said in the most sincere voice he could express: "Even if I know that this matter is a piece of cake for you, but let me see you holding a heavy bag while I am empty-handed, I can't do this kind of thing." ”

After Lin Zeng said this, he felt that his heartbeat was particularly fast, and he said so obviously that he didn't know how Jiang Hua would react.

In Lin Zeng's expectation, Jiang Hua scratched his head embarrassedly, touched his nose, squatted down, tied the bamboo shoots to the electric car, and tied them very carefully.

“……”

What does that mean?

She was holding a hemp rope and circling around the electric car to ensure that the bamboo shoots would not fall during the drive. However, the more carefully she tied up, the colder Lin Zeng's heart became.

Could it be that she silently rejected him?
