Chapter 36: Three or two bamboo shoots
Before coming, Shen Anan had already prepared and carried a bag with him. Seeing so many star anises on the ground, Shen Anan felt that her eyes were full of attractive pieces of braised pork, and there were these star anises next to them, and the smell made her feel drunk when she thought about it.
Shen An'an picked some today, but she didn't let go of the star anise that fell from the ground. These are all good things for cooking, and no one knows yet, but she can pick them up on the ground to her heart's content.
If someone else finds out the secret, I'm afraid that someone will snatch it away.
Shen Anan picked up almost all the anises on the ground into the bag beside her, and was just about to leave, when she suddenly found an old man with strange behavior staring at her.
Shen An'an suddenly felt a thrill all over her body, looking at the old man's stupid face, and thinking about this barren mountain and wilderness, she suddenly pulled up her feet and ran down the mountain with her life.
When the little lady who found the place was gone, the old man reacted. He originally wanted to ask the little lady if she wanted to make sachets when she picked up these things, but she didn't expect people to be scared away when they saw him.
"Whew! Didn't catch up! Shen An'an's hands and feet were extremely fast, thinking that the old man behind her might be unfavorable to herself, so she suddenly used her strength to breastfeed.
It wasn't until she realized that she couldn't run like she was stuffed with lead before she stopped to catch her breath.
When she looked at it, some cold sweat suddenly broke out on her head.
Damn, how did she run the wrong exit. The place to go down the mountain is not an opening on this side, but an opening on the right.
However, Shen Anan was optimistic about the terrain here, and after knowing where he was, he didn't panic.
As she looked for her way back, she saw that there were still some wild vegetables on the ground that had slipped through the net, and she picked them all.
In fact, at this time, the weather is gradually getting colder, and there are not many wild vegetables in the field, only some wild mustard greens and hairy cabbage with relatively tenacious vitality remain.
What Shen Anan never dreamed of was that along the way, she not only picked half a basket of wild vegetables, but also accidentally found a bamboo forest. In fact, it is said that the bamboo forest has lifted them a little. There are not many bamboos in this bamboo forest, about four or five. However, the growth of these bamboos is good, and what is even more surprising is that Shen Anan found that there are many places in the bamboo roots, which are cracked.
According to her previous experience, before the winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots break the ground, because they want to break through the soil, they will first use the bamboo tips to loosen the soil on the ground, and then poke their heads out little by little.
Therefore, some experienced bamboo shoot farmers judge the size of these bamboo shoots according to the fertility of the soil, the size of the mother bamboo, the part next to the bamboo root, and the size of the cracks in the ground. And according to this principle, it is almost impossible to find bamboo shoots according to the cracks in the ground.
Fortunately, when Shen Anan was digging wild vegetables, she brought a shovel, so she didn't think about it, and directly used the shovel to quickly cut the soil. The work of digging bamboo shoots is very boring, and it requires effort.
So in the end, Shen An'an was tired and panting, and a lot of sweat broke out on his body.
At first, she dug in two places, both of which had only bamboo roots, but after her hard work paid off, she finally dug up a few fresh bamboo shoots about the thickness of her wrist.
Holding the white and tender bamboo shoot in his hand, although it was still covered with soil, Shen Anan was so excited that he wanted to kiss it.
Roast pork with bamboo shoots, but a good dish!
Seeing this bamboo shoot, Shen Anan suddenly felt that he was still the little yellow-haired girl with a little braid, who followed behind her father.
"Dad, Mom, don't you know how you're doing? Miss me, I miss you so much. ”
Then Shen Anan muttered in a low voice with tears in his eyes: I not only miss you, but also the braised pork made by my father, and I also miss all the snacks at home.
Shen Anan was depressed for a while before she withdrew her tears back into her stomach. I cheered up the places I had dug up in front of me and covered them with dirt and withered bamboo leaves, and then slowly stood up and left.
By filling in the excavated soil, it will protect the bamboo shoots that have not been unearthed and will not damage the local soil. The next time you go, you're guaranteed to have another surprise. Maybe the bamboo shoots that didn't grow up at the beginning have become very thick.
Leaving the bamboo forest, looking at the early sky, Shen Anan was able to identify the direction, and then trotted all the way to the direction of their village.
Fortunately, along the way, he never met anyone again, and Shen Anan gained a lot today, and secretly congratulated himself on being lucky. He sighed heavily, waited for his mood to calm down a little, and then walked slowly to the kitchen.
When she entered the kitchen, she suddenly saw a black thing squatting in front of the kitchen stove, still moving.
Shen An'an was startled for a moment, then picked up a stick outside and was about to beat someone. Unexpectedly, Cao Shi had already turned his head to look at her.
"Annezi, what are you doing here?"
Hearing Cao's voice, Shen An'an's heart fell down. Hurriedly said in his mouth: "
"Oh, mother, what are you doing squatting there, I'm still a thief in our house.
But I saw Cao Shi wrapping his head with a piece of cloth, and he was pouting his ass and half-kneeling in front of the stove hole, not knowing what he was doing. After listening to Shen An'an's words, she saw that she angrily threw the flint in her hand somewhere, and then stood up. "What am I doing, I'm not going to cook yet, but why can't this fire be fought?"
I saw Cao's head raised, his face was covered with black soot, and his mushy nose and eyes couldn't be seen. I only saw those two eyes, emitting a little bit of light, and it was very funny.
At this time, Shen Anan had already lit the oil lamp.
Although the oil lamp is not very bright, it can still shine brightly. There was still some light outside, but the kitchen was built in the shade, so it was barely light in the room before it got dark.
"Mother, you let me come." Cao Xu saw that Shen Anan hadn't come back for half a day, and wanted to eat meat early, so she came to light a fire and boil water.
But I didn't want to, the flint was damp, and I couldn't hit it for half a day.
Shen Anan looked at the flint in Cao's hand and tried it before he found out that something was wrong.
"Mother, your flint is wet, how can you hit it. Use mine! "Almost everyone here carries flint and steel, whether it's for lighting a fire, or for cooking on a fire, just for convenience.
Sure enough, with the dry flint and steel on Shen An'an's body, the blue flames in the stove hole slowly burned in a few clicks.
Seeing that the fire in the stove cave was ignited, Shen Anan instructed Cao Shi again: "Mother, you put some hard wood in it, and I will burn braised pork and bamboo shoots for you to eat." ”
"Braised pork stuffed bamboo shoots, what is this way to eat, where did you come from?"
Shen Anan listened to it, and immediately smiled: "Today I learned from the * chef, and the bamboo shoots were dug outside." ”
Hearing that *Wang's was a little confused, he hurriedly said: "You brag, you can still eat." Seeing that Shen Anan was blocked by himself, he had nothing to say. Cao didn't care.
But thinking that she said earlier that she was going to burn bamboo shoots, what about bamboo shoots?
"Annezi, where are the bamboo shoots you said, let me take a look?"
