Chapter 174 Digging Bamboo Shoots
"That's right, that's right, didn't you say that Lord Zhuang is also going to participate in survival in the wilderness? Master Zhou is super powerful, why don't you compare with him and let him know who is the king in the wilderness!"

"That's right, Mr. Zhou, you are really too modest. He didn't give you a few words of advice. He said that the flowers bloom for everyone. He is so fragrant and arrogant. You are not angry because of this. I feel sorry for you!"

"It's your honor to be pointed out by him a few words. It would be great if you really give pointers. Since I am the first brother in the outdoor area, I have never seen such a shameless anchor, too. Disgusting!"

Seeing that the wind direction was all turned to his side, Master Zhao just smiled, which made the fans feel more and more pitiful for him the more they watched.

"Okay, everyone, stop talking. Since everyone is willing to watch, then I will sign up to participate in Wilderness Survival. Not to mention winning, at least it is worth the experience."

As Zhou Yuan said, while interacting with the fans on the screen, he already had some concerns in his heart.

Since he is said to be a counterfeit, he wants to see what this so-called Master Zhuang can get through this competition!
……

"It's almost evening, I don't know what dishes you want to see me cook?"

On the other hand, Zhuang Qiu didn't even know that he was being targeted. He talked and chatted to the screen while thinking about what to make for lunch today.

All the water friends began to rush to help out with ideas.

"Master Zhuang, we like to watch what you cook. Anyway, the ingredients that pass through your hands are like being kissed by God. I am really envious!"

"That's right, but these dishes look delicious to us, but we can't afford to look at them every day. Why don't you cook something different for us, Lord Zhuang?"

"Secondly upstairs, I also want to see something different, I wonder what else Master Zhuang will do?"

Seeing everyone's various discussions and suggestions, Zhuang Qiu thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"How about this, I remember there are still some bamboo shoots in the back mountain, why don't we have a whole bamboo shoot banquet today, what do you think?"

As soon as this suggestion was spoken, it was unanimously agreed by all the water friends in the barrage.

"I think this is good, a feast of bamboo shoots! This is going to be eaten in a restaurant. There are not hundreds of thousands at a table, so it doesn't make sense. My mouth is watering now!"

"What you said above is good. Those tender bamboo shoots are quite difficult to cook. If you really want to make a delicious whole bamboo shoot banquet, it will really test the chef's skills!"

"Stop talking, the more you talk, the more you want to eat, but you don't have a penny in your pocket. Master Zhuang, I think you are deliberately targeting me!"

"Speaking of the whole bamboo shoot banquet, I think the bamboo shoots made by my mother are the best. If it doesn't work, I'll book a ticket to go home now. I really want to eat it!"

"Stop talking, my saliva is already dripping out, you people are all devils, are you going to starve me to death?"

With the unanimous consent of the water friends, he teased Zhuang Qiu with the water friends in front of him again, and then took Huayuelou and Xu Yao to the back mountain with the live broadcast, and prepared to dig some bamboo shoots.

There are a lot of bamboo shoots in the back mountain, and Zhuang Qiu often comes to see them on weekdays, so the growth of these bamboo shoots is not bad.

"Master Zhuang, I would like to ask, why did you bury all these bamboo shoots with soil? Only one tip was left, and I am a bit confused."

Zhuang Qiu explained with a smile, "Because these bamboo shoots have more parts exposed to the ground, for the sake of their appearance, they were buried with soil, leaving only one tip exposed."

As Zhuang Qiu said, he pushed aside the buried bamboo shoots and pointed to the bamboo leaves on them.

"When three or four bamboo leaves grow on the tip of the bamboo shoot, it means that the bamboo shoot is mature and can be dug out and eaten."

After listening to Zhuang Qiu's science popularization, the water friends expressed that they had learned knowledge.

"You must not dig randomly, I will teach you how to dig bamboo shoots."

Seeing that Huayuelou was about to dig bamboo shoots, Zhuang Qiu grabbed Huayuelou's arm and stopped him from destroying the bamboo shoots with his hands.

Huayuelou looked confused and pointed to the bamboo shoots on the ground.

"Is it necessary to pay attention to skills when digging bamboo shoots?"

Zhuang Qiu nodded: "Of course I want it, but besides the bamboo shoots that have grown, there are some that are underground, so we need to find these underground bamboo shoots first."

Zhuang Qiu pointed to a piece of blank ground: "In some places the bamboo shoots haven't grown yet and are still buried underground, so we need to look at the bamboo leaves first."

"Generally speaking, the brighter the green color of the bamboo leaves, the more bamboo shoots there will be."

"Moreover, first of all, it is necessary to distinguish the age of bamboo, referred to as bamboo age."

"You can tell the approximate age of the bamboo based on the color of the bamboo joints. Generally speaking, bamboos that are two to three years old have more bamboo shoots."

"In some places, the bamboo shoots will crack the ground and protrude, so when you look for it, you should pay attention to whether there are any cracks under your feet, because some cracks are not easy to distinguish."

"Finally, everyone should take a look at where the bamboo roots are heading. Generally speaking, there will be more bamboo shoots where the main guard is facing. This also indicates that the bamboo roots are growing in that direction, along the direction of the bamboo pole. If you dig, there is also the possibility of digging out bamboo shoots.”

According to the precautions Zhuang Qiu said, Xu Yao and Huayuelou began to look for the bamboo shoots that were still underground except for the bamboo shoots that came out of the ground.

Coupled with Zhuang Qiu's guidance, they soon found a lot of bamboo shoots buried in the ground. It was only because of Zhuang Qiu's reminder in advance that no one dared to dig up the soil. I saw bamboo shoots growing inside.

When it was time to dig, Zhuang Qiu gave each of them a hoe, and while demonstrating with his hands, he taught them how to dig bamboo shoots.

"When you dig bamboo shoots, you must pay attention to playing with the hoe parallel to the ground, and never dig vertically."

Xu Yao interjected curiously, "Why can't you dig vertically?"

"Because if you dig straight with a hoe and hammer, the bamboo shoots will be destroyed."

Zhuang Qiu leveled the hoe in his hand with the ground, and then leveled the hoe in his hand on both sides, slowly pushing away the soil layer above.

"After seeing clearly that there are bamboo shoots inside, we should take a look at how the bamboo shoots grow, and then dig out the bamboo shoots according to the actual situation."

"And at this time, when you dig bamboo shoots, don't hurt the bamboo whips inside until you dig out the bamboo shoots at last."

After the explanation, under Zhuang Qiu's guidance, Huayuelou and Xu Yao each dug out a lot of bamboo shoots.
