Chapter 243 Making Sour Bamboo Shoots
"Mother, eldest sister, come here quickly, this bamboo really has bamboo shoots, come and dig bamboo shoots!" After looking at it for a while, Qiulin saw some bamboo shoots popping out, she quickly waved to her mother and elder sister, telling them to come over A piece of bamboo shoots.

She tried to pull it out twice, but the bamboo shoot didn't budge.Qiulin was a little discouraged. He knew that bamboo shoots would grow in this bamboo forest, so he brought a hoe and a basket from home.Now I can't pull out the bamboo shoots, it's really depressing!
Seeing Qiu Lin who was resting and simply sitting on the edge of the bamboo grove, Han couldn't help laughing and said, "Just wait for a while, your Aunt Zhang is going to pick up the hoe and carry the basket, and you can dig the bamboo shoots later."

Seeing the little girl puffing her mouth, Qiuyue also laughed openly.Look, she's right, right?The little girl likes to do these jobs, such as picking mushrooms, acorns, fruits, fish, etc., and now I don’t forget to dig bamboo shoots!However, the bamboo shoots are crisp and delicious. When made into sour bamboo shoots and mixed with chili flakes, they are sour and spicy.
Zhang's footsteps were very fast, and he turned back in a while.In his hand were two small hoes and a basket.These bamboo shoots can be dug with a small hoe, which is more flexible.That big hoe is clumsy, afraid that the bamboo shoots will be smashed as soon as the hoe goes down.

"My grandma, I'll just dig here. I'll peel it off and send it to your family later. You haven't had a good look at this slope, so go and look at it for a while." Zhang said with a smile, squatting down Come on, let's start working non-stop.

After hearing this, Mrs. Han was also very satisfied with Mrs. Zhang's arrangement.Looking at the bamboo forest, Qiu Lin ran over directly, and hadn't seen the oak and fruit trees over there yet.

So Qiulin and the others went over to look at the oak trees and so on.For the convenience of picking, everyone planted the acorns in separate areas, which is also convenient for harvesting, so as not to mix them up and run around here and there, wasting time and energy.There is a certain distance between each tree. If it is too dense, these trees will not grow big.Moreover, the trees are mixed with herbs such as Pinellia Rhizoma, Atractylodes Rhizoma Atractylodes Rhizome, and Rehmannia glutinosa. This method of inserting needles can effectively use this piece of land.

This sloping land is full of greenery, and the leaves are all green. It seems that the Hu family passed by well. Can this person who waters and spreads manure every day grow well?
Everyone wandered around on this slope, and all they saw was a lush scene.The slopes are full of trees and herbs, and the other thatch and wormwood have been pulled out and left on the ground to rot and be used as fertilizer.The Han family couldn't help but once again lamented the hard work and dedication of the Hu family.After wandering around for a while, Han's heart was filled with reassurance.It seems that it is absolutely correct to entrust the management of these dozens of acres of slope land to the Hu family. With their careful care, these trees and herbs will definitely grow vigorously.

After wandering around, everyone went back to the bamboo grove, only to see that a large basket of bamboo shoots had already been filled into the previously empty basket.Moreover, these bamboo shoots have been peeled, and they look fresh and fat.At this moment, Mrs. Zhang dug up another bamboo shoot and was peeling off the skin on the bamboo shoot. After pulling it clean, she directly threw the shell into the forest.The bark can be used as fertilizer after it rots, otherwise the trees in the forest would grow tall and strong without any nutrition, all thanks to these rotten leaves!
"Grandma of the Dong family, you are finished watching. I still have to dig a few bamboo shoots, and I can take them back." Seeing the Han family coming over, Mrs. Zhang quickened her movements a little.

Qiulin originally wanted to come over to dig bamboo shoots, but she didn't expect this aunt to move so quickly that the basket was almost full.It was obviously only a few bamboo shoots away from filling the basket, and it would be too hypocritical for her to go to help, so she didn't go to help.He just smiled and watched Mrs. Zhang work.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhang had filled the back basket to the brim.She picked up the basket with a smooth movement, and said: "Grandma of the host family, let's go back now, I will carry these bamboo shoots back for you."

Han Shi said: "Even if the bamboo shoots in the basket are made into sour bamboo shoots, I don't know how long it will take to eat them. Don't your family also like to eat them, so let's keep half of them."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said honestly: "Grandma of the host family, these sour bamboo shoots are delicious to eat. There is no way too much. There are still some bamboo shoots in this bamboo forest. If my family eats them, we can come and dig them." Mrs. Zhang looked These two ladies also like to eat bamboo shoots, so it's better to recite them all.Anyway, there are still bamboo shoots in the woods, and the sour bamboo shoots at home are finished, so just come and dig.

Seeing her saying this, Mrs. Han didn't insist anymore.Although there are a lot of bamboo shoots in this basket, but after making sour bamboo shoots, it is not too much to give to Brother Niang, Liu Shi and Mei Xiangniang, the head of the village.

At noon that day, Qiulin's family wanted to try something new, so they fried lean meat with bamboo shoots.Before the bamboo shoots are fried, the water should be removed first, otherwise the fried bamboo shoots will have a bitter taste. After filtering in the boiling water, the bitter taste of the bamboo shoots will be boiled away.Stir-fried with lean meat coated in flour, it is simply a delicious dish.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Han left three or four catties of fresh bamboo shoots. These bamboo shoots should not be stored for a long time, otherwise mold will grow in the core of the bamboo shoots, so she didn't keep much.She soaked the rest in the sauerkraut jar, ready to make sour bamboo shoots for dinner.After half a month, pick it up again, mix it with fresh and spicy red pepper, so that the fresh and delicious sour bamboo shoots are made.

Mrs. Han sent some sour bamboo shoots, Mrs. Liu, Mei Xiangniang, Huaihuaniang, and asked Qiulin to send some to Xia Yan and Shen Qing.There is still a big jar left, Han waited for Qiuyue and the others to go to the town for the market that day, and brought some to the elder brother and the others.

When eating in the evening, Mrs. Han took out a large plate of sour bamboo shoots from the jar, and ate some at noon. Both the head of the family and sister Qiuyue thought it was delicious.Everyone said that they hadn't tasted it at noon, it was too little, and they said they should eat more at night.In the evening, Qiusong Qiuhe and two people would be added. If there was less, there would definitely not be enough food, so she simply grabbed a big plate.

The sour bamboo shoots were served on the table, and they were indeed popular enough, even more tempting than the fried pork with bamboo shoots last time.Everyone ate very happily and kept praising the delicious bamboo shoots!The food he made has been recognized by the people who eat it, so Han is naturally full of joy.But she emphasized again: "This food is very spicy, you all should eat less, or you will have a stomachache."

After Han finished speaking, he saw that Qiuhe had picked up a few chopsticks and ate it. He was so hot that his mouth whimpered, but the chopsticks still stretched towards the sour bamboo shoots.Han couldn't help but said: "Look at how spicy you are, eat a few more mouthfuls of rice. The sour bamboo shoots are so delicious, they are meant to be served with rice, not for you to eat!"
