Chapter 80: Winter Bamboo Shoots
After Huang Yiyun took his younger siblings up the mountain, he ran directly to the bamboo forest.
The bamboo in the bamboo forest can grow spring bamboo shoots in spring, and the spring bamboo shoots should be dug out to be able to eat when they are tender, and once they are old, the bamboo shoots will grow into bamboo, and they cannot be eaten.
It is not yet spring, so naturally there are no spring bamboo shoots, but there are still winter bamboo shoots.
The fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots is old and delicious, as well as the fried mutton and donkey meat are all very delicious, and the fried mutton and donkey meat Huang Yiyun just think about it, as for the fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, the Huang family still has this condition.
Winter bamboo shoots grow around the bamboo whip and are buried in the soil, I don't know if the villagers of Qingshan Village know it, whether they have dug it up.
"Sister, where are we going?" On the way, the second sister asked Huang Yiyun, who was walking in front.
"Let's go to the bamboo forest and see if there is anything to eat." Huang Yiyun didn't look back.
When the Huang family sisters and brothers came to the bamboo forest, they saw that the ground of the bamboo forest had been covered with a layer of rotten bamboo leaves.
And there are no traces of refurbishment on the ground.
It seems that the villagers of Qingshan Village do not know that this bamboo shoot is also available in winter, and they are afraid that they know that there are bamboo shoots only in spring.
Either the villagers don't like it, or maybe they don't like it.
"Eldest sister, what are you looking for, you tell the second sister, and the second sister will accompany you to find it." The second sister saw the eldest sister squatting down and then under a bamboo, and after turning over the bamboo leaves on the ground with her hands, the second sister squatted next to Huang Yiyun and asked.
"Come and see clearly, you go to find out, not far from the root of the bamboo, is there such a cracked crack, if there is, you all mark it and let the eldest sister dig it." Huang Yiyun is looking for traces of winter bamboo shoots.
Just in time to find the crack, it is the crack that the winter bamboo shoots have expanded in the soil.
After the crack opens, it will force the soil to produce a radial crack with a point as the center, and the shallow ones can meet the tips of tender green and yellow shoots. It feels crunchy and elastic when digging with a hoe, and soft and elastic when stepping on it.
"Eldest sister, there's something wrong here." The third sister asked puzzled.
"There is something to eat, the fourth brother, you and the fifth sister hurry up to find it, find more and let's dig it home to eat, the second sister and the third sister, you two are watching the eldest sister dig on the side, and you have learned, and after the fourth brother and the fifth sister find it, you will also start digging." Huang Yiyun first dug around the crack to dig up the decent soil, revealing the winter bamboo shoots growing on the bamboo whip, digging the pit deeper, exposing the winter bamboo shoots growing at the root of the bamboo whip, and then using a hoe to hoe directly to the roots of the winter bamboo shoots to dig them down.
Didn't dig up the winter bamboo shoots in the slightest.
"Do you see clearly? That's how to dig, remember, when digging winter bamboo shoots, you can be slow, don't dig the winter bamboo shoots badly, otherwise, the bad winter bamboo shoots are not good to keep? Huang Yiyun explained.
"Eldest sister, can you eat this?" The second sister asked with some confusion.
"Don't worry, I'll dig it up later, and the eldest sister will give it to you to eat, and I guarantee that you like it."
"Eldest sister, I found a crack here that you mentioned." The fourth brother shouted loudly.
"Eldest sister, I also have one here?". The fifth sister is not to be outdone.
"Okay, the eldest sister will dig it." Huang Yiyun replied.
Seeing that the second sister and the third sister both knew how to dig, Huang Yiyun didn't care about the two of them.
The speed of finding is faster than the speed of digging.
At first, the fourth brother and the fifth sister were a little unsure, and marked the cracked cracks, and among the five they found, there were often only three or four cracks in them.
The other cracks were because the bamboo whip was too thick and burst out, not because there were winter bamboo shoots growing in it.
After the two of them got acquainted with each other, after finding the feeling, they found one by one.
As for the second sister and the third sister, they were also a little rusty at first.
The strength in the hands is too heavy, not to mention that some winter bamboo shoots are dug up, and some winter bamboo shoots are only half dug out.
Time passed slowly.
Now it gets dark early in winter, and after three quarters of Shen, the sky gradually darkens.
After Huang Yiyun saw that it was almost there, he said loudly, "It's too late, we should go back." ”
"Eldest sister, we still have a lot of winter bamboo shoots that haven't been dug up?" When the fourth brother saw that he had marked a few places with winter bamboo shoots, and they had not been dug up, he said with pity on his face.
"I have one here?" The fifth sister also continued.
"It's almost like today, you don't like to eat later, you can't finish eating after digging so much, if you like to eat, let's dig again tomorrow."
"Eldest sister, if we don't eat it, we can also take it out and sell it." The sixth sister said a little disappreciatively.
"Done." The fifth sister reminded Huang Yiyun in one sentence, Huang Yiyun wanted to rub the fifth sister's head, but after seeing that his hands were full of mud, he gave up.
It's just that Huang Yiyun was a little surprised that after digging more than an hour of winter bamboo shoots, he actually dug a large back basket.
These winter bamboo shoots are big and small, I don't know if this bamboo forest has never been dug up winter bamboo shoots or the land is particularly fertile, the winter bamboo shoots dug out, the smaller ones are more than one catty, and the larger ones are more than two catties.
However, Huang Yiyun looked at the bamboo forest in front of him, the bamboos were all straight and thick, and the bamboo whips and bamboo joints were old and thick, no wonder the winter bamboo shoots that grew out were so big.
"Eldest sister, you're back, I've prepared all the ingredients you asked my mother to prepare."
"Eldest sister, the sixth sister and Qilang said, you took the second sister and them to go up the mountain to pick up something to eat, you got something back." After Huang Congjiang saw the eldest sister come back, he came from the firewood room and asked after helping Huang Yiyun unload the basket she was carrying.
"This is from the bamboo forest, you can eat, Dad, you go to the big bowl of food and wine shop in the town tomorrow to ask, see if their family accepts these." Huang Yiyun's heart moved.
"Dad brought it over to try, and by the way, some of the vegetables planted in the greenhouse could be collected, and Dad sent them over to sell together. Eldest sister, how did you come up with greenhouse planting, Dad thinks that in greenhouse planting, we can plant some vegetables without restrictions, and we can also plant some melons and fruits, melons and fruits are worth more than vegetables? And also......... "After Huang Conghe and his second brother learned about the greenhouse planting that the eldest sister came up with today, it seemed that Huang Congjiang had opened a new world.
In addition, today he not only went to the town, but also went to the county seat, learned about the prices and market, and knew that in addition to the lack of seasonal vegetables in winter, there are fewer melons and fruits to eat in winter.
There are basically no more people in the county, and there are many more rich people in the county than in the town, so it is not a problem to sell.
After the price of melons and fruits is more than that of seasonal vegetables, Huang Congjiang has the idea of planting melons and fruits in greenhouses next year.
It's just that the more Huang Congjiang talks about his ideas, the more he talks, the more excited he becomes, and he feels that many of them are feasible and can be done.
