Seeing that the old man nodded first, then shook his head again, the bell didn't know what the old man meant, and hurriedly asked.

Only then did the old man explain that this bamboo shoot is the best tasting and most famous bamboo shoot here, but this bamboo shoot is not available every day, it is impossible to meet, and the yield can be said to be very small.

The reason why I nodded and shook my head was because I felt that person did have vision, but it was difficult to get it.

The old man said that he could only ask everyone in the town to look for it, but whether he could find it immediately was not guaranteed, and it could only depend on his luck.

Early the next morning, the old man took the bell and Quan Xiaobai and went up the mountain, and the people of Qiuzhu Town, men and women, young and old, all went out, and they hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time, and finally recovered, and they all wanted to get more back. In addition to digging the bamboo shoots they needed and cutting the bamboo, they also carefully helped the bell to find the bamboo shoots.

While climbing the mountain and chatting, the bell knew that the old man's surname was Zhu, and he was a famous bamboo shoot digger in Qiuzhu Town, and he had been digging bamboo shoots all his life.

While walking, Zhu Lao told the bell and Quan Xiaobai: "Everything in this world is regular, if you want to dig up bamboo shoots, you must know how bamboo shoots grow, where they grow, when they grow, and under what circumstances, you must grasp their growth laws." ”

This is a pure bamboo forest, Zhu Lao said, if you find that there are mulberry and pine buds, they will be dug up by the people who go up the mountain in the town, because the bamboo shoots are best to be clean, and these will affect the growth of bamboo shoots.

Bamboo shoots are hidden under the soil layer and nothing can be seen from the surface.

And Zhu Lao said: They have always lived on bamboo, so just look at the color of the bamboo shoots to judge the approximate location of the bamboo shoots.

Bell and Quan Xiaobai followed Zhu Lao to a bamboo forest in the middle and stopped, Zhu Lao pointed to this bamboo forest and said to Bell: "Bell, you can't see where the bamboo shoots are in this bamboo forest, but you can't dig them casually, otherwise we will hurt the roots, and we will have a lot less bamboo and bamboo shoots in the future." ”

"Oh, so much more exquisite!" The bell nodded incessantly.

Later, Zhu Lao showed the bell how to find bamboo shoots. To identify which are pregnant bamboos, where the lowest branch of the bamboo leaves are long, thin, pointed and slightly with a few golden leaves and the plant is dark green, for the pregnant bamboo. Because the bamboo shoots consume a certain amount of nutrients, the nutrients of the bottom bamboo leaves are transferred away, resulting in yellowing of the leaves. Its bamboo whip is golden yellow, energetic, and has swollen side buds. The fibrous roots on the bamboo whip are well developed.

If the land is less undulating than the flat land, and the soil is relatively soft, in the case of the whip is relatively straight, then the direction of the main whip is generally roughly the same as the bottom one. The new bamboo shoots are basically out of the main whip, so digging bamboo shoots is basically looking for the main whip.

Generally, 4-year-old bamboos are found, and older bamboos are generally cut down to make bamboo weaving. As long as you find the main whip, you can basically find it by digging down.

"After finding bamboo shoots, you have to plane them lightly so that they don't hurt the roots. After taking it out, the soil must be re-covered. Zhu Lao told the bell while digging, and soon dug up a huge bamboo shoot.

"Wow, Grandpa Zhu, this bamboo shoot is really big." The bell said while holding a bamboo shoot.

"This bamboo shoot is not too big, it looks big when it is dug out, but after the bamboo shoot is peeled off, there is actually very little left."

"Oh, I'll peel it off." After the bell finished speaking, he was about to peel the bamboo shoots, but Zhu Lao hurriedly stopped him: "This bamboo shoot is difficult to preserve, especially after peeling the bamboo shoots, so it is generally only peeled off when it is sold." ”

"Well, I know Grandpa Zhu." The bell handed over the bamboo shoot to Quan Xiaobai, and then followed Zhu Lao to continue walking.

After walking for a while, the bell found a half-exposed bamboo shoot not far away and hurriedly summoned Zhu Lao to dig it: "Grandpa Zhu, the one in front is also a bamboo shoot." ”

Zhu Lao smiled and shook his head, his snow-white beard swaying with his head.

"Bell, this can't be eaten, I can only wait for it to slowly grow into a new bamboo."

"Why? It's still like a bamboo shoot. As he spoke, he looked down at the bamboo shoots he had dug up in the bamboo basket, and then looked up at the bamboo shoots, which were exactly the same.

"Hehehe, bell, you don't know, this bamboo shoot breaks through the soil, and when it sees the wind, it will be hard, and then it will become stiff and bitter, and it can't be eaten."

Bell nodded and continued to walk with Zhu Lao, digging up some bamboo shoots, and the bamboo back baskets he brought were all full, but he still didn't find the bamboo shoots.

Although this is also expected, it is still a little disappointing.

Zhu Lao comforted the bell and said to go back first and see if the others in Qiuzhu Town found out, so the bell and Quan Xiaobai followed Zhu Lao down the mountain.

Back in Qiuzhu Town, Zhu Lao summoned the townspeople to inquire, but unfortunately none of the townspeople found the whereabouts of the bamboo shoots.

Although I didn't find the bamboo shoots today, the townspeople had a good harvest, so they slaughtered a few pigs in the evening and boiled soup with fresh bamboo shoots.

In the words of Zhu Lao: This bamboo shoot is very pure in taste, so it goes well with food, especially meat, which will form a wonderful balance with fatty meat, which is insoluble in soup but has a refreshing taste.

The bell and Quan Xiaobai didn't eat less, but they still kept some and waited until the evening for Qixing to eat.

When it came the next day, Bell and Quan Xiaobai followed Zhu Lao up the mountain to look for it, but they still didn't find it.

In the end, someone walked into the depths of the bamboo forest and met the bamboo rat demon who came out to find food, the bamboo rat demon saw that many people were looking for something, because of the gratitude of the townspeople for its tolerance, the bamboo rat demon was ready to help them find it, who knew that a question was looking for bamboo shoots, and the bamboo rat demon was embarrassed to say what the problem was.

It turns out that this bamboo rat demon can't do anything else, but finding the best bamboo shoots is a first-class good, so the bamboo tips and jade shoots some time ago have been eaten up by it, if you wait, it is estimated that you will have to wait for about four or five to grow again.

When the bell that didn't find the bamboo shoot again followed Zhu Lao back, some townspeople came to report this matter to Zhu Lao.

"What can I do? We're going to the Miaozhu River. After hearing this, the bell said depressedly with a frowning face.

Zhu Lao thought for a while and said to the bell: "Bell, don't worry, you go to the Miaozhu River first, anyway, you have to go back to Jiuxiao City, and it is also the only way to come back here from the Miaozhu River, we will help you collect it in the past few days, and take it away directly after you come back, what do you think?" ”

Thinking that this was a good way, the bell turned from worry to joy: "Then thank you Grandpa Zhu, let's go to Miaozhu River first." ”

"It's okay, you are the benefactors who helped us bring Qiuzhu Town back to life, we can still help with this little favor."

Farewell Zhu Lao and the townspeople of Qiuzhu Town, Ling Bell and Quan Xiaobai walked in the direction of the Miaozhu River.

Because it takes two days to get to the Miaozhu River, Bell and Quan Xiaobai hardly stop except for sitting down to eat, and when it gets dark, one person and one demon are already very tired.

Bell and Quan Xiaobai came to a wood, and were about to find a place to rest when they saw something swinging in the wind under the big tree in front of them.

The bell pulled Quan Xiaobai and looked forward in the moonlight.

"Yikes! There was a man hanging from it. ”
