I have an ancient god wood space

Chapter 430

After lunch, we are about to start today's highlight, making dragon beard bamboo shoots.

The main raw material is the unique cold arrow bamboo on the mountain here. This kind of bamboo shoots are extraordinarily crisp, tender and smooth, and unlike bitter bamboo shoots, they must be boiled to eat, otherwise they will die of bitterness.

But if you want to make dragon beard bamboo shoots, the process is not uncomplicated, but in order to get the compound umami taste of the finished product, this little thing can still be overcome.

First prepare plant ash, directly use grain and grass to burn into ashes, and then add it to boiling water to make plant ash water.

Because the gray water contains potassium carbonate, the alkaline substances can enhance the flavor of the bamboo shoots and have a better taste.

Light alkaline water is also used now, but relatively speaking, plant ash water is more natural. The wisdom passed down from the older generation still has some truth.

The four of them went into battle together, and each took a small blade to peel off the cold arrow bamboo shoots, leaving only the crisp and tender shoots. From the beginning, the parents chose young shoots that were more tender than ordinary cold arrow bamboo shoots in order to make the bamboo shoots more tender.

This way the product is more delicious and attractive.

The piles were peeled and poured into the gray water. The two big sacks were peeled for an hour, and it was the result of four people doing it together. It is estimated that the hundreds of catties of Lengjian bamboo shoots can produce a few catties of dragon beard bamboo shoots!
Look at the old roots thrown away, this pot is the real tip of the bamboo shoots, I really can't bear to be so extravagant if I don't make it myself.

Suddenly, I understand why people around me don’t sell this thing, they would rather sell fresh than dry goods, because they really can’t afford the price.

According to the previous ratio, it is estimated that there is a difference of one to five. One catty of fresh bamboo shoots can be used to make two taels of dried bamboo shoots. There is a five-fold difference. If the price increases by five times, whoever has a brain will buy it!

Over time, people are unwilling to buy this kind of wild ones. For example, there are dragon beard bamboo shoots in the city, but they are all produced by wholesalers.

Where is it like my own, only picking up the tops of the tender bamboo shoots, the taste is of course not good.

The gray water in the pot is gurgling, and it doesn’t need to be boiled for too long. Generally, it is enough to cut the raw meat, and then pour the whole pot out into a large basin to clean it.

Although the plant ash is packed in a cloth bag, it is inevitable that some will leak out and need to be washed twice.

The next step is the highlight. Dozens of catties of fresh bamboo shoots are placed in the Shau Kei to dry for a while, and then a bag of salt is sprinkled layer by layer, and the stacks are neatly stacked to ensure that each tree is evenly coated with salt.

This step is to remove the water, so that the bamboo shoots can be processed into the appearance of asparagus bamboo shoots. After salting, the meat of the bamboo shoots will become crispy, and the body of the bamboo shoots will be more flexible and will not break when pulled.

At this point, today's work is over. These bamboo shoots have to be marinated overnight, and the rest can be continued tomorrow.

Stretching, Ma Yue then picked up the bamboo shoot shells in the yard and laid them out to dry, which is a perfect way to start a fire.

In previous years, I had rape stalks at home, but I didn’t grow them this year, so I don’t have so many matches, and I don’t know when the natural gas can be connected, which is convenient!
Of course, the existing gas tank is also okay, which is much more convenient than using a wood-fired stove.

Don't eat bamboo shoots at night, even if it is delicious, you can't eat it all at once, otherwise it won't be fragrant afterward.

Kill a duck, fish it out and make pickled vegetables for the Chinese New Year. It just soaks up the taste, the sour aroma is attractive, and the stewed duck is delicious.

The dried kelp I bought online before was directly twisted into half an inch long and thrown into the pot. The last time I bought it, the seller said that if you want to eat soft and glutinous, you don’t need to soak it, just boil it directly. I don’t know if it will work.

The duck does not need to be cut, cut it in half and put it in the pot, then add sauerkraut, and put the peeled garlic in the pot while the duck is being killed.

It is estimated that it can be eaten in four to 10 minutes.

There is duck soup. Naturally, it is more fragrant to eat dry rice and soak it in the soup. It can be stewed directly with firewood, and a pot of white rice will be delicious for half an hour.

Slightly simmering in it, the rice crust will be soaked in soup later, and the tongue can be swallowed.

At the beginning of night, in the summer night, frogs croak croak and crickets chirp. A table is placed in the yard, a large pot of duck soup is placed in a large pot, and some chicken essence is added for appetizer.

Ma Yue and Ma Yue each had a bowl of rice, and scooped two spoonfuls of duck soup. The rice grains were distinct, mixed with green and white duck soup, and the fat was evenly coated with the whole rice. The hot and sour meat flavor immediately filled the mouth.

Where can I have this meal?It is clear that just a pot of duck soup can finish that big pot of rice, the kind that doesn't even leave rice.

After swallowing two whole bowls of rice, Ma Yue felt that the feeling of reaching out in his stomach gradually disappeared, and Cui Anping continued on.

Based on everyone's understanding of him, it's not surprising at all, and there is no problem at all.

"Is this kelp really soft and glutinous? And it seems that the soup stewed in this way is more fragrant."

Liu Fen and Liu Fen each had a bowl of soup, their eyes sparkling, and they felt that the stew this time was really different from the last time.

"It's probably because of the kelp. Don't you see that the island country often uses kelp to make soup?"

Cui Anping spoke up.

Ma Yue listened and joked.

"It's called Kumbu, is it thicker than this one?"

"Is that kelp?"

Undeniable on the surface, Cui Anping ate a mouthful of kelp and a mouthful of rice, enjoying himself.

Ma Yue was grinning, thinking that he would try to buy the thicker one next time, it might taste better.

It's a pity that my family is not on the coast, otherwise there would be no shortage of seafood, but after thinking about it, what seafood do I need if there are mountain delicacies!

You can not have it both ways!

"Oh, by the way, is the shiitake mushroom maker in the next town still doing it? I want to buy some strains, and there are fewer and fewer wild shiitake mushrooms in this mountain."

Thinking about Shan Zhen, Ma Yue suddenly remembered this.

"It seems to have collapsed."

Ma Wanguo shook his head.

"I heard that many people in the village ran to get mushroom seeds and no one cared. If you want to get some, no one said anything!"

"That's good, I'll take a walk after dinner later!"

Take a pat on Cui Anping, and the other party is um, um, anyway, it’s okay to do food, but not other things.

A big pot is almost enough to eat, the leftover soup is too salty, I plan to cook vermicelli tomorrow, add some water spinach, it tastes good.

After wiping his mouth to help clean up the dishes, Ma Yue and the two walked directly to the place not far from Mituo Town, which is the junction of Mituo Town and Qingliu Town.

It was booming when it was done before. I came back a few years ago and heard that the boss made a lot of money. I don’t know why there is no voice for the past two years.

I feel that there may be a market for this stuff. After all, the demand is only so large. Originally, one batch was enough. As a result, many batches come out every year, and it is not sustainable. Naturally, the sales volume is slowly declining.

This is the same as the pomegranates in Tanjia Village. If they continue to plant more, the market will be saturated in the future. The current quantity guarantees that the whole country is slightly underpaid.

There is room for sustainable development.

Just like eating, if you are too full at one meal, you will not want to eat the next meal, of course - except for Cui Anping.

He can eat several meals.
