Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Chapter 143 Sour Bamboo Shoots

In the next few days, the remaining three female polyhairs also gave birth to a total of seven cubs one by one.In order to allow the female animal to take care of it, and also to keep the cubs from being disturbed, the not-so-big animal pen was divided into four areas. As for the male hairy animal that has lost its value...

Shen Huaijin ate a barbecue in anger, "Sweet!"

As the temperature is getting higher and higher, the planting can no longer be delayed. Fortunately, everyone is working hard enough, and everyone's germination work has been completed to a high degree.Shen Huaijin first took everyone to make their own fertilizer, and after fertilizing the ground, they planted the seeds of rice and potatoes.

As for the smaller fields on the other side of the stream, he used them to grow beans, pumpkins and peppers.The two paddy fields cannot be wasted either, they are used as a tool for cultivating rice seeds.

With the help of the tribe members, Shen Huaijin didn't need to spend much effort and time this time, just take care of her a little bit.

The rest of his homemade fertilizer was used by him to water the sacred beast tree.

In the early morning, it is the most sunny time of the water season, and the luxuriant sacred beast tree is swaying its branches and leaves in the gentle breeze, showing its vitality.

Shen Huaijin patted the tree trunk in relief, as if he could still remember the tears and infinite memories in Xiu's eyes when he saw the revived holy beast tree.

Thinking of the uneasy time and the old people in the time, Shen Huaijin sighed indistinctly.

Just when he was full of emotions, a young orc ran in from outside the valley, and shouted loudly as he ran to him: "Jin, we found something good!"

Shen Huaijin recovered her mood and supported the young orc who had already run in front of him.He has an impression of this young orc named Mu, who has fast legs, so he often travels between the valley and the base to send some iron tools to Shen Huaijin.

The other party was panting, but his face was full of excitement, "Jin, when we were hunting and preparing food today, we saw a rare big-eared beast with a whole body in white, so we chased it all the way." Mu paused, "In the end, guess what we found?"

Shen Huaijin shook her head helplessly, "Mu, just tell me, don't let me guess."

"We found a new bamboo forest!" Mu clenched his fists, his eyes glowing with excitement, "Jin, didn't you say that the bamboo forest was polluted by the water from the mine, and we were not allowed to eat the bamboo shoots in it. But the water source near the new bamboo forest is clean, I went in with other orcs to have a look, although it is much smaller than the old bamboo forest, but there are quite a lot of bamboo shoots in it.”

"Really?" Shen Huaijin's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and she still couldn't believe it, so she truthfully expressed her doubts, "Then why didn't you find out before?"

Mu waved his hand casually, "That bamboo forest is actually very small, but it's far away from the road, and the trees on the side are also very close together. If it wasn't for that big-eared beast that slithered to the left and jumped, we wouldn't be here at all." Go inside. This time is also an unexpected surprise."

Shen Huaijin nodded knowingly, "So that's how it is." He pondered for a moment, "Well, it's still early anyway, I'll let the collection team gather, how about we follow you to find the way?"

"Of course!" Mu immediately responded, "I came back just for this."

Hearing this, Shen Huaijin immediately went to find An Heyin and the others who were in the valley, and the three hit it off.For the sake of convenience, they did not simply pick one team to go out, but instead selected three or four sub-beasts from their respective collection teams, so as to save the other team from having to find someone to lead the way next time.

Hearing that there are edible spring bamboo shoots to dig, the sub-beasts who had tasted its delicious taste were very excited, immediately put down their busy work, took the rattan basket and the tools for digging bamboo shoots, and ran to the square to gather, waiting Set off.

All this is done in a very short time.

Seeing this, Shen Huaijin said to Mu Wen, "Let's go, Mu, I have to trouble you to lead the way."

Mu Xihe laughed and said: "What's the matter, it's a trivial matter, everyone just follow me."

Mu Tiansheng walked fast, and the people who followed him were also eager. He walked through the mountains and forests and over the small slopes, and finally found a green bamboo forest.

Shen Huaijin was still standing on the slope, looked up, and saw that the newly discovered bamboo forest was only about one-fifth the size of the old bamboo forest, but if it was really as Mu said, there were a lot of bamboo shoots in it. , that is enough for the tribe to eat.

He followed everyone and strode into the bamboo forest.I saw that there were luxuriant bamboos in the forest, and the eyes were full of greenery. Wherever I walked, I could see many springing bamboo shoots.

Mu Ziao, who was walking in the front, said: "Jin, I'm right, this bamboo forest is not big, and there are really a lot of bamboo shoots in it." He looked back again, and saw that the Asian beasts following him were all walking away. When he arrived, he said: "I'm relieved to bring you all here, the base is also quite busy, Jin, then I'll leave first."

"Thank you for your hard work." Shen Huaijin said quickly, "Mu, be careful on the road, remember to say hello to the orcs at the base for me."

"Okay." Mu agreed, greeted the other sub-beasts and left in a hurry.

The remaining sub-beasts are not afraid, they walk outside all year round, even if they don't have the powerful and keen perception ability of orcs, it is still feasible to find their way, not to mention Shen Huaijin who is exploring the terrain in the wild for their own work.

After watching the wood leave, Shen Huaijin and the sub-beasts scattered in orderly directions, picked up the hoe and started digging bamboo shoots.

Everyone has experience in digging bamboo shoots, and they acted very quickly. They immediately picked the luxuriant female bamboo with mature bamboo leaves as the target for the shoots. The sharp-eyed sub-beasts can see the sharp bamboo shoots at a glance. , Then use a hoe to carefully dig out the soil on both sides, and hoe down a little bit.

Until you find the connection between the bamboo shoot and the bamboo root, use your hands to slightly poke the soil around the bamboo shoot, and use a hoe to break it off.

Everyone was digging hard, with beaming faces, and An, who was next to Shen Huaijin, was also full of joy, chattering non-stop, "Jin, you said that the bamboo shoots over there were not edible, but it made us feel bad. Do you think Ah, the Dahe Tribe has lived here for so long, and only with your help did they discover such delicious bamboo shoots. I didn’t expect to eat them a few times, but you said they were... um..."

"Pollution." Shen Huaijin reminded, took advantage of the situation and cut off another bamboo shoot, and threw it into the rattan basket next to it.

"Yes, it's pollution!" An suddenly realized, "It's said to be polluted and can't be eaten. Every time we passed by, we couldn't help digging out two, but we still threw them on the way back to the valley. It's okay. Now that I have found Hsinchu Forest, otherwise I don’t know how long this tangled situation will last.”

Shen Huaijin couldn't help laughing, it turned out that An and the others had such entanglements and distress, "An, do you really like eating bamboo shoots so much?"

"Of course." An's face was as it should be, as if this is common sense that should be known to everyone, "Bamboo shoots are crisp and fresh, and they are welcomed by everyone. But during this period of time is the best." For food, when the weather gets hot, the bamboo shoots will be too old, and there will be residues left when chewing."

"In fact, each has its own way of eating."

After hearing this, another sub-beast passing by asked curiously, "Jin, how do you plan to eat these bamboo shoots?"

Shen Huaijin picked up a bamboo shoot that had just been cut, and thought for a moment, "Hmm... Stir-fried meat or stewed wild birds, by the way, I also want to take some of it to pickle the sour bamboo shoots."

"Sour bamboo shoots? Is it similar to the taste of pickled radish?"

Recalling the unique overbearing taste of snail powder, Shen Huaijin said after a rare moment of silence: "...No, there is still a little difference, and you will understand it by then."

Naya Beast nodded ignorantly, and went to find another place to dig bamboo shoots with a rattan basket on its back.

The sub-beasts were full of energy, and they didn't want to leave until the sun was high and the rattan baskets they brought couldn't hold the new bamboo shoots.Carrying a heavy harvest, I rushed back to the valley along the way I came.

The city wall at Taniguchi is still under construction, and even the sub-beasts in the valley have to be busy with many things such as moving stones, so everyone went their separate ways when they arrived in the valley. On the other side of the stream.

Because she couldn't eat too many bamboo shoots for a while, Shen Huaijin decided to eat half fresh and half pickled.

The weather is not too hot now, and the fresh bamboo shoots stained with moist soil can still be stored. Shen Huaijin put half of them in the shed for storage, and processed the other half to be marinated first.

He carried half a basket of bamboo shoots to the bamboo crossing, cut off the hard roots of the bamboo shoots, and then cut the bamboo shoots vertically, and he could easily peel off the bamboo shoots, revealing the white and tender yellow flesh of the bamboo shoots.

Shen Huaijin took the chopping board and shredded the bamboo shoots to ensure that the subsequent pickling would be tasty and crispy enough to eat.

Put the shredded bamboo shoots on one side to cool, and let them soak for about 10 minutes.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Huaijin moved out a few water-sealable kimchi jars from the thatched cottage, scalded them with boiling water, and put them in the sun to dry.

After soaking the shredded bamboo shoots, drain the water, put them all in a kimchi jar, then soak them in cold water, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of salt and a little pepper, stir well, and then cover the lid to seal it with water to ensure that there will be no air leakage.

In this kind of weather, Shen Huaijin estimates that after marinating for 30 to [-] days, the taste will be rich and sour enough.

He placed three heavy kimchi jars in the corner of the thatched hut, ensuring that they were completely protected from light, and waited for the time to open the lids and taste them.

After Li came back in the evening, he went to the thatched hut to get some things, and saw that there were three kimchi jars lined up inside, and it felt a little heavy when he touched it, so he knew that Shen Huaijin had put his heart into cooking side dishes again.

He carried some sweet potato vermicelli to Shen Huaijin who was by the stove, and asked, "Jin, I see that the pickle jar is full, have you pickled something delicious again?"

"Well, pickled some shredded bamboo shoots."

During the day, Li heard some movement, knowing that everyone had found another bamboo forest, so he was not surprised, so he just said casually: "I haven't eaten pickled bamboo shoots yet, what kind of taste is it, is it also hot and sour? "

Shen Huaijin paused, and laughed dryly twice with the corners of her mouth.

Li: "...?"

The author has something to say: Li: There are big doubts in the small eyes

Hand speed pulls hips, the third watch should be in the early morning, haha ​​(laughing)
