Travel through the farm and live a leisurely life by farming

The bamboo forest that Su He mentioned was not far from the village, on a hillside.

Several people left the village and went up the hillside.

At this time of the year, the bamboo shoots on the hillside are growing at their best, and not many people in the village eat them, so there are a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain, one after another connected together.

Su He felt a surge of emotion in his heart, this was too much.

No one actually knew how delicious these bamboo shoots were. It's such a waste of resources if no one wants so many of them. She wants to pick all these bamboo shoots and take them home.

Su Chi looked at his elder sister looking at the bamboo shoots in front of her with sparkling eyes, and his heart was happy too.

My sister said that the bamboo shoots were delicious, but they just didn’t know how to cook them. She would make something delicious for herself after picking them.

Su He put down the backpack, squatted down and started picking bamboo shoots. After a while, she couldn't hold them all in her hands, so she piled them on the ground, planning to pick more bamboo shoots, peel them one by one and take them back, so that she would have some space to pick more.

Su Mu and Su Chi had long been accustomed to Su He's behavior, so they didn't say much. They looked around and imitated Su He, breaking the things into a pile.

In just half an hour, the three of them had broken off a lot of straw, and the piled together looked like a big haystack.

"Okay, it looks like it's almost done. Let's peel the shells first. We can come back later if the time permits."

This place is different from the deep mountains. It is not far from the village. If you move quickly, you can come back and break it off.

Su He picked up a bamboo shoot, grabbed the top, folded the shell left and right, and then split the top of the shoot into two halves. He pressed the shell with one finger and quickly grabbed the other half of the shell with the other hand and stirred it. The shell was peeled off, revealing the tender bamboo shoot meat inside.

Put the peeled bamboo shoots aside, pick up another unpeeled bamboo shoot, and use the same method as before to peel another one in the blink of an eye.

Su Mu and Su Chi seemed to be frozen, staring blankly at Su He's fast fingers and the peeled bamboo shoots that began to pile up in a moment.

The two looked at each other, eyes full of disbelief.

This is too fast.

Su He didn't say anything. He just looked at the bamboo shoots in his hands and waved his hands quickly.

The two looked at Su He's things, and after a while they slowly came to their senses. They quickly picked up the bamboo shoots on the side and began to peel them slowly, imitating Su He's way.

They stumbled a bit at first, but after a few successes, they gradually got the hang of it and soon could peel a banana in just a few strokes.

Su He looked at the two people with a serious look on their faces, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Peeling the bamboo shoots is much more time-consuming than breaking them. It took three people more than an hour to finally finish peeling them.

Su He and Su Mu both carried a backpack and a bamboo basket, and even Su Chi's small backpack was full.

"Aho, give me the basket and I'll hold it."

Seeing that Su He was struggling, Su Mu quickly stepped forward and reached out to take the bamboo basket from her hand.

"No need, big brother. I can do it. This place is not far from home. Let's go quickly and come back later."

Su He shook her head. She could still memorize all of this.

At this time, the work in the fields was almost finished, and there were a lot more people coming and going in the village than usual.

When the three siblings of the Su family came back carrying bamboo shoots, many people saw them.

Most people in the village knew that Su He had recovered from her illness, so when they saw her, they knew that this was the granddaughter of the old Su family who had been sick for many years and needed to take medicine.

"See? The Su family is so poor that they have to pick bamboo shoots from the mountains to eat. How pitiful!"

"That's right. The bamboo shoots on this mountain are bitter and astringent. If they were delicious, why would the bamboo shoots on Banpo still be around today?"

"Of course not. The wild vegetables here are more delicious than that."

A group of people looked at the backs of the three siblings and shook their heads.

"A few days ago, my Dazhu saw the eldest grandson of the Su family and his brother fishing in the river at the foot of the mountain."

"That's impossible. The fish in the river are small and fishy. There's nothing to eat."

Speaking of the old Su family, everyone sighed.

A few years ago, the Su family not only owed a lot of foreign debts for the sake of their sick granddaughter, but also sold the tiles at home. It was really not easy for the whole family to provide so many expensive medicines for this granddaughter.

Su He and the other two had no idea that after they left, the people in the village would feel sad for their family.

Old Su's family.

In the Su family's yard, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were busy washing the bamboo shoots that Su He and the other two had picked.

The three people just sat under the eaves to rest, planning to go out again later and come back again.

"Mom, auntie, after you wash the bamboo shoots, put them aside to dry. I will deal with them when I come back later."

"Okay, we get it."

The two nodded. They didn't know how to use this thing, so they helped to clean it up. They just did whatever Su He instructed them to do.

After the three of them had rested enough, they set off again. With the experience of the first time, they had more tacit understanding this time, and Su He didn't need to explain more.

When Su Mu and Su Chi reached the top of the slope, they bent down, looked around, and quickly picked the bamboo shoots.

When the three of them returned home, it was much faster than the first time they went up the mountain.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo were preparing dinner. When Mrs. Su saw the three of them coming back, she fetched water from the well and washed the bamboo shoots they had just brought back.

While it was still bright outside, Su He planned to process all the bamboo shoots he had picked today.

Su He filled the pot with water, covered it with a lid, turned on high heat, and soon the water boiled.

Su Mu was strong and helped carry the cleaned bamboo shoots from the yard to the kitchen.

Su He put the washed bamboo shoots into the pot, took a stick, and pressed all the bamboo shoots into the pot. After hearing the sound of the bamboo shoots bursting, he quickly scooped them up and asked Su Mu to take them to the yard to rinse them with cold water.

I cooked it many times before I finally cooked all the bamboo shoots I picked today.

Su He carefully washed the bamboo shoots soaked in cold water twice, and finally picked up the bamboo shoots and gently pinched the bottom. With a "pop" sound, the bamboo shoots burst open. Su He gently tore along the burst position and broke the cooked bamboo shoots into two halves.

"Okay, that's it. Just spread it out on the bamboo mat and wait for it to dry."

Su He kept moving his hands, breaking bamboo shoots and talking to the people next to him.

"It's that simple?"

Su Mu was a little bit incredulous. Su He said that it wouldn't be bitter and astringent after it was cooked. But looking at what she had just done, nothing was used, and the method was so simple, how could she make delicious bamboo shoots?

It's incredible.

"Brother, if it wasn't too late today, I could make you some stir-fried bamboo shoots."

Su He's eyebrows were curved, and she was still very patient with her elder brother Su Mu's doubts.
