The moment the bamboo tube was opened, an indescribable bamboo fragrance and rice fragrance floated out from the cracks in the bamboo tube, which strongly stimulated Yao Kai and Yunyi's taste buds.
"Wow! This tastes! I haven't smelled it in years! Yao Kai sighed.
"Hehehe! Right! Isn't this a useless bamboo tube left after cutting it back yesterday to make wine? Today, I'm thinking about making bamboo rice and trying it! Who just complained! Handing the broken bamboo tube in his hand to Yao Kai, Yun Yi quipped.
Yunyi picked up the bamboo tube and broke it again, before he picked up the chopsticks, Yao Kai was like a starving ghost reincarnated, he didn't care whether the rice was hot or not, he stuffed it into his mouth, and a bamboo tube rice was all wiped out in less than two minutes, and he didn't even eat a bite of the dish.
Yun Yi looked at Yao Kai in surprise, and saw that his eyes were staring at the few bamboo tubes in the basin that had not been broken; I had to hand him the one that had been broken in my hand again, and I picked up a bamboo tube again and broke it with a kitchen knife.
This time, Yao Kai was not in a hurry to eat, and waited for Yun Yi to pick up the bamboo tube, and the two chatted while eating.
When he got up early in the morning, Yun Yi scrambled a bowl of egg fried rice with stupid eggs for the last bamboo tube rice left last night, which had a different taste with the bamboo fragrant bamboo tube rice and eggs.
After breakfast, Yun Yi remembered the spring bamboo shoots he saw when he went to the bamboo forest to cut the bamboo, the spring bamboo shoots in this season grow very quickly, and they can go up in one night, if it rains a little at night, the spring bamboo shoots will soon grow into tender bamboo.
Picking up the phone, Yun Yi called the branch secretary Li Dazhuan.
"Xiaoyi! Why did you call me early in the morning! What's the matter? As soon as the phone was connected, Uncle Da Bolt's voice came.
"Uncle Bolt! That's right, the day before yesterday, when I went to cut bamboo in the bamboo forest of Xiaodao Lake, this year's spring bamboo shoots are all spiking; I think that the bamboo shoots in other places are similar to this, and I would like to ask if the village still digs bamboo shoots this year? Yunyi said.
"What are you digging that thing for?" Li Dazhuan asked suspiciously.
Yun Yi on the other end of the phone was also stunned for a moment, and said, "Of course it's dug up and sold, what else can you do!" ”
"Sell? Sell it to whom! In the early years, the villagers also dug it up and sold it, but the little money sold was not enough to get a round-trip ticket to the county seat! Li Dazhuan said angrily.
"How so? When I was in the city, a pound of fine spring bamboo shoots sold for several dollars! Yunyi said disbelievingly.
"Real or fake?" Li Dazhuan also asked uncertainly.
"In this way, Uncle Da Shu, I'll call Li Hang first and ask for it, and I'll tell you later!" Yunyi said.
"Okay! If you have news, just tell me! ”
Hanging up Uncle Da Shu's phone, Yunyi immediately called Li Hang; As soon as the phone rang, Yun Yi said: "Li Hang, do you know the market sales of spring bamboo shoots in the city this year? ”
"Yes! What's wrong boss? Li Hang replied.
"So how much is a pound now?" Yun Yi asked again.
"Good quality can be sold for five yuan a catty, and the almost one is more than three yuan!" Li Hang said with certainty.
"Do we buy from other sources to sell in our outlets?"
"No, I'm also thinking about this in the past few days, what's the matter, boss, do you have a supply of spring bamboo shoots over there?" Li Hang suddenly reacted and asked.
"Yes! There are a lot of bamboo forests in our river valley village! In this way, you will give Hu Ke a detailed grade classification and purchase price, let Hu Ke organize people to classify and buy, and I will contact the village here, and let the villagers go to each bamboo forest to dig; You're also ready to sell on the shelves at several organic vegetable outlets. Yun Yi gave Li Hang an order.
"Good boss! I'm going to do it. ”
Hanging up the phone, Yun Yi didn't rush to call Li Dazhuan, he still had to wait to see the purchase price of Li Hang.
After feeding the chickens, ducks and other animals at home, Yunyi picked up the bamboo basket and carried the hoe to dig some spring bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest on the shore of the island lake; Because every year the family will use spring bamboo shoots to make some sour bamboo shoots and store them, the sour bamboo shoots at this time are the most authentic ingredients for making sour bamboo shoots fish, and even summer bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots are not as delicious as this.
Spring bamboo shoots are light and tender, rich in nutrition, containing sufficient water, rich in vegetable protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other essential nutrients and trace elements, especially high fiber content, regular food has the function of helping digestion and preventing constipation; Therefore, spring bamboo shoots are a nutritious delicacy with high protein, low fat, low starch and more crude fiber.
The spring bamboo shoots in this season, the bamboo shoots are fat, white as jade, the meat is fresh and tender, delicious and refreshing, and is known as the "king of vegetables"; It is also known as "Mountain Eight Treasures".
And there are many kinds, in Hegu Village, the most are moso bamboo, green bamboo, gang bamboo and hemp bamboo, etc., these bamboo shoots can be meat or vegetarian, the method is different, the flavor is different; Stir-frying, stewing, boiling, stewing, simmering, etc. can make delicious dishes.
I still remember when I was a child, as soon as this season arrived, Yunyi pestered the old man to change the tricks to make himself "spring bamboo shoots roasted fish", "spring bamboo shoots stewed meat", "spring bamboo shoots white mixed chicken" and "dregs braised spring bamboo shoots" until now, and every dish Yunyi still remembers vividly.
Entering the bamboo forest again, the bamboo shoots with pointed heads had been pulled out a large part of the day before yesterday, although it was still a little earlier than a day or two now, but thinking of the fragrance of "spring bamboo shoots stewed meat", Yun Yi couldn't help but look for a slightly larger bamboo shoot.
Digging spring bamboo shoots is also particular; Now bamboo shoots, first have to see if the bamboo shoots have the possibility of growing into bamboo, if there are large, strong, strong vitality to set aside most of them to grow into bamboo; Dig out the trail bamboo shoots, weak bamboo shoots, shallow whip bamboo shoots, crooked head bamboo shoots, small bamboo shoots, retreat bamboo shoots, etc.
There is also the option to choose two trees that are not far apart for comparison, and dig up one of them that is slightly inferior; If there are no bamboo shoots that can grow into bamboo in this small area, then all of them can be harvested.
In the process of digging, special attention must be paid to a kind of bamboo shoots, which is called bamboo shoots, which is the worst of all bamboo shoots; Their characteristics are very obvious, that is, there is no dew on the tips of bamboo shoots in the morning on a sunny day, the bamboo shoot shells are dehaired, the color is dark, and the texture is soft; Now this kind of bamboo shoots should be dug up in time, because they will become the root of the whole bamboo forest rotten bamboo.
When digging bamboo shoots, do not hurt the whip roots and whip buds of the bamboo; And after the bamboo shoots are dug out, the bamboo shoot pit should be filled with soil immediately, so that it will grow new bamboo shoots after a while.
As soon as the bamboo shoots were dug down, Yun Yi also sweated, and looked back at the bamboo basket he brought, which had already been half of the frame, so he sat down and rested for a while.
The work of digging bamboo shoots is still very labor-intensive, and in Hegu Village, the work of digging bamboo shoots is generally done by men, and women and children only carry them, and of course the work of carrying them is not easy.
Carrying a basket full of bamboo shoots back to the mid-level platform, the time is almost noon; Yunyi also had to peel all the bamboo shoots out of the bamboo shoot shell and soak them in mountain spring water before the bamboo shoots lost water, otherwise the bamboo shoots would lose their crisp taste.
