During this time in autumn, I ran to many places in the mountains, and the food that was well collected in the nearby places was taken home, and the shelves in the cave were almost full.

Pei Yao saw that there was a lot of stock, and she felt that she could almost eat until the beginning of spring, and then she would carry some rice back in each market, and then go up the mountain to chop some firewood and prepare it, so that she could spend the winter properly.

Now it's just a matter of enriching the variety.

The weather in late autumn is a little windy, and the sun is a little twilight at noon, not as hot as some time ago, and the overall rhythm is to rain again.

Seeing that the weather is gradually getting cooler, Pei Yao also put the work she has been thinking about for a long time on her agenda: pickled bamboo shoots!

When I first came to the bamboo forest, I rarely dug bamboo shoots because there were no good ingredients for fresh bamboo shoots, and the dishes made had no taste, although Pei Yao could remove the bitterness of bamboo shoots, but there were no ingredients and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

She learned how to pickle sour bamboo shoots from a kind aunt, who also had a deep influence on her personality.

It was when I first came out to work as an apprentice in a craft factory.

There is no food or accommodation in the factory, and the apprentice salary is only a few hundred yuan a month.

Pei Yao is young and has just left home, she is a little stubborn, she would rather suffer here and learn some crafts, rather than be like other little sisters in the same village, who are waiters and wash their hair and have tips for them. When she came home for the Chinese New Year in the first year, she was laughed at by her fashionably dressed little sisters.

At that time, I earned little money, and I had to leave most of it for my grandmother, who was often sick, and I was very nervous about food and shelter with the rest of the money. Buy some steamed buns every day or something, and occasionally drink soy milk and tofu to improve your life.

Even at night I slept in the factory, on benches in the foreman's lounge, at the cost of cleaning the work area.

During the most difficult time, Aunt Chen, the master who taught her the craft, reached out to help her.

The master took her back to the rented small rental house and said, you can live with me, just eat and cook by yourself, you are too guilty in the factory, it is really unbearable.

Although Aunt Chen is a master and earns a lot, she has a daughter with heart disease. The husband didn't say goodbye soon after he found out that his daughter was sick, and it was all up to Aunt Chen to be both a father and a mother to raise her daughter.

I finally raised it until I was 14 years old and had no money for surgery, so I relied on living in the hospital for conservative treatment.

Aunt Chen also worked overtime until late at night every day, and went to see her daughter when she had time, which was extremely hard.

That is, Aunt Chen's kindness will accept her apprentice, at that time, everyone cherished themselves, and it was too late to make money, and no one was willing to delay teaching a little girl.

It was Pei Yao who deeply thanked the kind Aunt Chen.

Although Aunt Chen said that she didn't care about her food, she would eat less by herself every once in a while, save some food for her, and said that she would help eat it if she did too much, which really took a lot of care for her.

Sometimes my aunt is really short of money, so she will eat sour bamboo shoots for a while, because bamboo shoots are a local specialty, and they are very cheap.

At that time, Pei Yao almost imagined the kind-hearted Aunt Chen as her mother's role and relied on her a lot.

But when the aunt was about to learn her craft, she resigned and stopped working in the factory because her daughter was seriously ill and couldn't do it.

She also learned the method of sour bamboo shoots from her aunt, and even later learned more ways to pickle bamboo shoots when she was learning to cook, and she still loves the simple and easy-to-make sour bamboo shoots.

To express it in the words of literature and art, it has the taste of mother!

I took Duoduo to the bamboo forest to dig a big basket of bamboo shoots, and sat in the shade at the mouth of the cave to peel the skin of the bamboo shoots.

Peel some of the bamboo shoots horizontally and cut them horizontally, and cut the roots of the bamboo shoots vertically with two cuts, so that they will be about the same size and easy to taste, and put them into a jar filled with spring water until they are all cut.

A large jar of cut bamboo shoots is soaked in spring water for more than a few hours, then a clean jar is taken, placed in the corner of the cave entrance, the soaked bamboo shoots are fished in, and then two spoons of salt are enlarged, and finally the rice washing water left when washing Li rice is slowly filled to the mouth of the altar along the edge of the altar.

Pei Yao suddenly remembered that it was better to marinate it with chili peppers, sour and spicy, and she drooled when she thought about it.

He took a large handful of red peppers from the ground outside the cave, washed them and stuffed them tightly into the jar, and the water overflowed a lot.

Finally, I put the lid on it, and pressed a stone on it, and the sour bamboo shoots are ready, and you can eat them after waiting for ten days and a half months depending on the weather temperature!

I imagined the sour and spicy taste of sour bamboo shoots in my heart, and I felt hungry while drooling.

Pei Yao took out the panel, mixed some black noodles and a piece of dough with wheat flour, let the noodles wake up for a while, then rolled them into thin dough cakes with a rolling pin, sprinkled some dry flour to avoid sticking, folded back and forth into a fan shape and cut it into a finger width, grabbed the cut noodles and shook them open, which is commonly known as hand-rolled noodles.

Boil a pot of boiling water into the noodles, stir for three or four minutes, then take it into a bowl and cool it with spring water, then cut a cucumber into shreds and stack it on the noodles, and mix it with shallot sauce! A delicious bowl of jajangmyeon appeared! It is very refreshing and appetizing, and a large bowl of noodles Pei Yao ate in two minutes, which shows how popular it is!

In the slightly smoked afternoon, a beautiful girl, leaning under the pillar of the bamboo shed, rubbing her slightly convex belly, looking at the swaying verdant bamboo forest in a daze...
