Chapter 416 The Delicacy of Winter

"Crazy brother, will the winter bamboo shoots come out by themselves in spring??" The duckling was still a little confused.

"That's right, in spring, it's like a grass, it will slowly drill out of the ground." Zhang Feng explained with a smile, while putting the bamboo shoots into the basket, and then filling the excavated soil back again, so that It will not destroy the growth environment of bamboo shoots.

Seeing Zhang Feng's digging accurately, the little ones were dumbfounded, and thought it was amazing. I don't know how the lunatic brother has such an ability to find all the bamboo shoots hidden on the ground.

"Crazy brother, how did you find the winter bamboo shoots??" Da Mao finally couldn't help asking.

"Yeah, madman, aren't they buried in the ground?" The little guys were all curious, looking at Zhang Feng expectantly.

"Hehe, this is my secret!" Zhang Feng smiled slightly, so it was a secret.

"Oh madman, just tell us, okay, we promise not to tell anyone else." The little duck was itchy and asked Zhang Feng coquettishly.

Zhang Feng smiled slightly, but did not answer immediately, but led the little guys to find a raised ground
"See, is there some bulge here?" Seeing the doubtful eyes of the little guys, Zhang Feng continued to explain: "Because the underground bamboo shoots grow up slowly, bit by bit the soil on top rise, and the ground bulges."

"Look, there are cracks here. This may also be the soil that was broken when the winter bamboo shoots grew underground." Zhang Feng was teaching on the spot while looking for the winter bamboo shoots. After Zhang Feng explained, the little ones immediately understood .

"Hee hee! Hee hee! Crazy brother, I understand, I'll help you find it!!" It turns out that it's too simple to find a raised place or a cracked ground, and the little guys volunteered to help.

Not to mention that the little guys have good eyesight, and they have continuously discovered many places where winter bamboo shoots are buried.

"Crazy brother, here is a..."

"Crazy brother, I have here too..."

The little ones were very excited when they found their target, and chirped to announce the good news to Zhang Feng, as if they were as happy as finding gold, silver and jewelry, and they were full of a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

"Okay, okay, I don't have eight hands, can you please slow down?" Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly, these little guys are really too excited and enthusiastic.

"Hee hee..." Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the little guys looked at Zhang Feng, and then laughed out loud, wondering if it would be a monster with eight hands.

……

"Brother madman, brother madman?" Suddenly Da Mao screamed loudly.

"What's the matter, Da Mao?" Zhang Feng asked quickly.

"There is a big mouse here, and some of them got into the hole!" Da Mao pointed to the hole on the ground and said excitedly.

Zhang Feng walked over and took a look, as expected, it should be a bamboo rat, but Da Mao didn't know it, he thought it was a big rat.

"It's okay, this should be a bamboo mouse, do you know the bamboo mouse? The kind of mouse that is chubby and shows big teeth!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Ah, the one just now was the bamboo rat..."

"Look at the bamboo rat like this!" Zhang Feng searched for a photo of the bamboo rat from his mobile phone.

"let me see"

"Let me see" the little guys scrambled to see the photos of the bamboo rat.

"Oh, the bamboo rat is so cute!"

"Look at the big teeth..." The cute picture of the bamboo mouse instantly turned the little kids over, everyone was overjoyed to see this cute little animal.

..............................

After digging for about half an hour, there were more than ten bamboo shoots, and Zhang Feng was ready to go home.

"Okay, let's go home!!" Zhang Feng shouted to the little ones with a smile on his back, carrying the winter bamboo shoots on his back.

"Oh, madman brother, let's play for a while, shall we?" The little ones were chasing and playing in the bamboo grove, and they were having so much fun, they just went back like this.

"If you don't leave, I will leave by myself! When the bad guys come, they won't arrest you!!" Zhang Feng smiled and was about to leave.

"Ah, wait for me, lunatic brother..." The cowardly Mao Ya, seeing Zhang Feng leaving, immediately became anxious, and quickly chased Zhang Feng with his feet.

"Brother Madman, wait for us, Maoya..." Seeing that Zhang Feng and Maoya had left, the little guys were a little scared, and rushed up.

Zhang Feng smiled smugly, thinking that these little guys still followed. This bamboo forest is usually gloomy and gloomy. If there is no adult to guide them, the little guys would not dare to set foot in it easily. Don’t be frightened by me, cowardly Mao Ya followed up first, and the other kids followed suit one after another.

When they got home, the little guys jumped out of the car one after another, and then played and played in the yard, making chickens fly.

But this requires these hairy children not to play threatening games, Zhang Feng ignored them and started to deal with the newly dug winter bamboo shoots.

Winter bamboo shoots are known as "golden clothes and white jade, the best among vegetables".Every January and February is a good time to eat winter bamboo shoots.Compared with spring bamboo shoots and summer bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots are of the best quality and have the highest nutrition.

"Wow! Brother, these winter bamboo shoots?" Seeing Zhang Feng peeling the shells of the bamboo shoots, the little greedy cat Zhang Yue was very pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, come and help if you want to eat!!" Zhang Feng rolled his eyes at the girl, thinking he knew the reason.

"Hee hee, brother, how about making fried pork with winter bamboo shoots later?" Zhang Yue swallowed her saliva, and proposed to her elder brother with a full face of anticipation.

"Eat less meat, what if you gain weight?"

"How is it possible, this girl is born beautiful, eat whatever she wants, anyway, she won't gain weight no matter what she eats!" said the little girl with a proud smile.

"What a natural foodie!" Zhang Feng shook his head speechlessly, but there is no comparison between people. Some people can grow meat after drinking water, and some people eat big fish and meat every day, but they are still as thin as hemp sticks. There is nothing surprising about how big it is.

"Xiaoyue, send these winter bamboo shoots to Grandma Liu's house!!" After cleaning up the bamboo shoots, Zhang Feng packed five or six bamboo shoots in a plastic bag, and prepared to give them to Grandpa and Grandma Liu for a taste.

"Understood brother! I'm leaving!" The little girl nodded, and walked towards the small courtyard of Grandma Liu's house with a bamboo shoot in her hand.

"Ok!"

Zhang Feng nodded. After seeing the little girl leave, he wrapped the cleaned bamboo shoots in a clean plastic bag and put them in the refrigerator.
So many bamboo shoots can't be eaten in a day or two. Bamboo shoots are easy to store, just put them in the refrigerator, and they can be stored for 20 days at least.

When you want to eat, take one out, cut it into pieces or shreds, and simply fry it with fresh meat. The taste is extremely delicious. This is also an exquisite farm side dish.

So in the countryside, as long as you work hard, you will not lack delicious food even in winter.
