Peasant Girl's Jingxiu Pastoral

Chapter 23 Sun-dried Spring Bamboo Shoots (2)
The three siblings nodded, and then Yanyue said, "That's fine, Zixi, you hurry home and pick out the black fungus and dry them in the sun!"

"Well, then I'm leaving!"

But she didn't go far, and saw her turn and come back again, looked at Yunyue and said: "Yueyue, if you still go up the mountain tomorrow, remember to call me, and leave in a hurry after finishing speaking!"

The three of Yunyue and her brother watched Mu Zixi walk out of the yard, then got up and walked towards the kitchen, and then Yunyue went to the corner to take out the bamboo basket that had been placed, and then carried it out of the kitchen with her sister, while she The younger brother followed closely behind, and when he carried the bamboo basket to the kitchen door, the three siblings began to process the bamboo shoots at the kitchen door.

While peeling the bamboo shoots, Yue Yue told her siblings that these are spring bamboo shoots, and there are two types of spring bamboo shoots.

"The first type is hairy bamboo shoots, and the second type is bamboo shoots. The skin of the hairy bamboo shoots is relatively hard. Generally, the hairy bamboo shoots are cut in half first, and the knife is cut from the central axis of the root to the central axis of the tip, and divided into two parts. After half a day, you can see layers of bamboo shoots from the cut surface.”

Then he continued: "Hold the root with your left hand, grab the side of the cut surface with your right hand and pull down, you can peel off all the bamboo shoots at once, and then use a knife to remove the hard skin and hard heel of the bamboo joints and roots, and then Tidy up."

The relative method of processing bamboo shoots is much simpler, because the bamboo shoots are fat and white, and the bamboo shoots are very tender, so there is no need to cut them, just peel them off layer by layer, and the hard skin on the roots also needs to be removed of.

After the three finished sorting out the bamboo shoots, Yue Yue looked up at the sky, then looked down at the heart of the bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket, and felt that the bamboo shoots should be boiled and dried in the sun while the weather was fine.

Yan Yue then said to the eldest sister who was about to stand up and peel the bamboo shoots: "Sister, let's slice the bamboo shoots, boil them in water, and then dry them. The dried ones can be stored. The fresh ones can't be kept for a few days. Just go to waste."

Yingyu heard it and thought it made sense, so she said: "That's fine, you can figure it out, anyway, you understand this, you can do whatever you say, I'll go take out the trash first, and then I left."

As for the little brother Ouyang Mu, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he went to the bedroom alone to find the sandbags he made earlier. Anyway, Yan Yue taught him a new way to play later, so he can bounce around and play alone in the main room.

Seeing that everyone was doing their own thing, Yue Yue carried the bamboo shoots into the kitchen, and after entering the kitchen, Yue Yue found a basin, poured clean water, and washed all the bamboo shoots.

Then he turned around and stood on the stool, added water to the iron pot, and then got some firewood on the stove, then took the bamboo shoots and cut them in half on the chopping board, cut them into slices, and put them into the water in the pot cooking.

Yingyu returned to the kitchen after emptying the garbage, saw that Yanyue had cut and cooked the bamboo shoots, so she helped keep the fire at the door of the stove, while Yanyue stood on the stool and turned over the bamboo shoots with a spatula.

When the bamboo shoots were cooked, Yan Yue moved the small dustpan and the basin on the side to a place closer to the mouth of the pot, then scooped up the bamboo shoots with a water ladle and put them in the dustpan to drain the water, then carried them with her elder sister The small dustpan came out of the kitchen, dumped the bamboo shoots in the small dustpan and spread them out to dry in the big dustpan that had been exposed to the sun before!

Yan Yue looked at a dustpan of bamboo shoots, thinking that they might have to dry for a few more days, but fortunately, it was not troublesome, and she didn't think there was anything wrong, so she turned around and looked at the black fungus that was drying on the side, and then flipped through them with her hands. Turned over.

What I have to say here is that the dried bamboo shoots have very high nutritional value, rich in protein and vitamins and other substances, and the content of fat is relatively low. The effect of regular consumption is also obvious. It has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, and can remove the old food in the body, and has the medicinal effect of moisturizing the lungs and preventing constipation.
