Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 394 Digging bamboo shoots

"Well, put the smoke outlet outside the door so you can eat warmly inside. By the way, you haven't eaten hot pot yet. We had hot pot on their birthdays."

Shen Yuanshan said happily: "Brother, let's go to the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots in this season are delicious."

They did it right away, and the two of them stood up impatiently.

Zhu Danian became interested: "Come on, I'll go with you two."

Shen Rongshan was worried: "Master, please don't go. The road on the mountain is not easy to walk on, and it's snowing outside."

"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on it, Wenshan, Yuanshan, hold the frame."

"Hey." They both responded in unison.

Ji Wenhe smiled as he watched them leave: "Brother Shen, let's go together."

"It's snowing outside. I'll go and you stay home."

"No, I want to go with you."

Shen Rongshan said lovingly, "You can go, but don't dig bamboo shoots anymore, just watch from the side."

"Okay." Pulling his arm, "Let's go."

He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the bamboo shoots on the mountain won't run away."

Grab a basket and a spatula and follow them.

"If I had known I would have come here in the morning to dig bamboo shoots, the snow seems to be a bit heavy now."

"Wen He, why don't you go home."

"It's okay. I'm wearing a hat and scarf. Come on, let's go to the other side and not be with them."

Pull him towards the stream.

Shen Rongshan held her hand and said, "Don't complain about your frozen feet when your shoes get wet."

"Don't you still have me? Cover my feet." Ji Wenhe said with a smile, "Why, don't you want to cover my feet?"

"Do not want to."

"You are my husband, if you don't cover my feet, who will?"

He turned around and said, "Sometimes you are very stubborn and don't listen to me."

Or there's nothing we can do about her.

Ji Wenhe laughed out loud: "Sometimes you don't listen to me. We are both stubborn."

For example, secretly going to the mountains to hunt without telling her.

When they reached the bamboo forest, he pointed to a bulge and said, "Brother Shen, dig it out. Maybe there are winter bamboo shoots underneath."

Looking around, it is called a bamboo forest, but in fact there are only a few bamboos.

When the season comes, many people come to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, and the grown bamboos are cut down by the villagers and taken home to build fences or vegetable gardens.

There are few bamboos halfway up the mountain.

"Brother Shen, if we go deeper into the mountains, there will be a lot of bamboo forests."

Shen Rongshan was digging in the dirt: "Yes, there are many bamboo forests and bamboo shoots in the deep mountains."

"Let's go, this isn't it."

The land halfway up the mountain has almost been dug up.

Ji Wenhe held the hand he extended to him: "Let's go inside."

She had never been to the deep mountains and was very curious.

He said there were many fruit trees and various herbs there.

But it is also dangerous.

Shen Rongshan looked up: "The snow seems to have stopped."

"Yes, it has stopped. Let's go and look for it for a while longer."

the other side.

"Wen He, Wen He?"

"Brother Rongshan, Wenshan, Yuanshan?"

"Strange, why aren't you at home?"

Shen Anguo walked back with the plate in his hand and arrived at the yard: "Mom, no one is at home."

"Not at home? Wenshan's house in front?"

"I don't know, I don't think so. Aren't we having dinner at Brother Rongshan's house?"

Shen Erniu came out of the house: "Is their door locked?"

"The bedroom door is locked, but the living room door is not locked."

Lan Qiuhua looked towards Shen Yuanshan's house: "I didn't see them coming over. I think they must have gone to Wenshan's house."

"Then send it over later." Shen Anguo put the plate on the table and covered it with a basin.

When we went down the mountain and returned home, Shen Wenshan and his two companions had already arrived home and were peeling bamboo shoots.

Ji Wenhe asked, "How many did you dig? We went a little deeper into the mountain and found five bamboo shoots."

Shen Yuanshan replied: "We dug up eight."

The three of them also went deep into the mountains.

"By the way, An Guo just sent over some steamed buns and dumplings. They are on the table now."

"Yuanshan, send it back. We have packed a lot this year. Take two more cabbages and send them over."

"Okay, I'll go home and get the cabbage first." Shen Yuanshan replied.

Ji Wenhe looked around: "Hey, where's Uncle Da Nian?"

"In front, talking to Uncle Ping."

The three of them walked from the western hilltop to the southern hilltop. When they were going down the mountain, they saw Shen Ping. The two were talking at the foot of the mountain. They came back first.

Shen Rongshan took out the pork and said, "Wen He, should we slice the pork thinly or thickly?"

"Cut it thinner so it cooks faster. Take the mutton and cut it up as well. Leave some for stir-frying tomorrow."

Ji Wenhe went upstairs and brought down the tofu: "I originally wanted to stew the tofu with fish soup, save half and stir-fry it with cabbage tomorrow."

"Wen He, there is a fish in the cupboard. Do you want to cook it tomorrow?"

She opened the cupboard and said, "I didn't finish this one at lunch. I'll cook it tomorrow."

The fish that was roasted at noon had its head and tail left untouched as they would be kept until the New Year, and only the middle part was eaten.

They said that it should be complete and in the pot at night.

Shen Rongshan took out half of the tofu and said, "Wen He, you take the rest."

"Okay." She took it.

Place it in the cabinet in the hallway and fasten the latch.

"Sister-in-law, please get some bamboo shoots." Shen Wenshan asked.

Ji Wenhe looked at the peeled bamboo shoots and said, "Why don't we stir-fry the bamboo shoots and meat later, cut three for hot pot, and eat the rest tomorrow."

"By the way, Wenshan, go home and get a winter melon and a pumpkin, and make some pumpkin pie."

He nodded: "Okay, I'll go wash the bamboo shoots."

Go to the bottom of the cupboard and get the chili sauce out, mix the dipping sauce, and later fry the chili sauce to make the soup base.

Shen Rongshan cut the meat and said, "Wen He, where did you put the salted duck eggs?"

"It's under the cupboard. Just cut one. There are so many vegetables and meats. If you cut too much, you won't be able to finish them."

He took out a salted goose egg.

Ji Wenhe prepared the sauce and asked, "Would you like some pancakes? I'm afraid you may not be full."

"Didn't you say to make pumpkin pie? It's enough for us to eat. There's still some rice left for lunch."

It is made with polished rice, no brown rice is added.

Her eyes lit up: "Make egg fried rice. I haven't eaten it for a long time. I'll go get the eggs."

Took six eggs.

"Brother Shen, have you ever eaten egg fried rice?"

"No, every year the rice is taken to the town to be sold. We only keep a little bit of it and mix it with brown rice. The eggs are also sold in the town. Only when I am sick can I drink a bowl of eggs washed down with boiling water."

I have seen fried eggs with refined rice, but I have never eaten it.

Ji Wenhe turned to look at him and said distressedly: "Then you don't have a lot of food that you haven't eaten yet."

Shen Rongshan nodded: "Yes, there are many that I haven't eaten. We are farmers and are reluctant to spend money. We usually eat black noodles and brown rice at home."

"During the Chinese New Year, buy two pieces of maltose, two or three salted duck eggs, pork, fish, and roasted nuts. These are the best. If you have money at home, buy beef, mutton, shrimp, and some cakes."

There were so many things he had never eaten in his life.

"It doesn't matter. We can raise a few more pigs to make money and buy back all the food that hasn't been eaten in town."
