Lin Yunchu put the bamboo shoots in his hand into the backpack and explained to the two how to find bamboo shoots in the forest.

"These bamboo shoots are usually the tenderest ones that grow underground. Some will have a shoot emerging, while others won't. But if you see cracks in the soil, there might be shoots ready to grow underneath."

Lin Yunchu explained the techniques of finding bamboo shoots to the two of them in detail, and then the three of them dispersed and slowly searched forward.

After a while, Lin Changting was the first to discover a piece of bamboo shoot that had already emerged. He excitedly squatted down and started digging according to the method Lin Yunchu had just said.

Lin Changping looked at the crack in the ground, which was very similar to what Lin Yunchu had just described. He felt happy and started digging quickly.

Seeing that the two of them quickly got into the state, Lin Yunchu nodded with a smile, and then he stopped looking at them and started searching forward on his own.

Usually, no one comes to this bamboo forest. It didn't take the three of them long to dig up so many bamboo shoots that their backpacks could no longer hold them.

"Let's leave it at that for today. We'll send it to Yipin Pavilion tomorrow to see how it goes."

Lin Yunchu said to the two of them while putting the bamboo shoots into the backpack.

In fact, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t sell them. There are many ways to eat bamboo shoots. You can eat them fresh, pickle them into sour bamboo shoots, or dry them into dried bamboo shoots and keep them for later consumption.

There is no need to worry about this, as she has plenty of solutions.

After hearing what Lin Yunchu said, Lin Changting and Lin Changping nodded repeatedly. It was always right to listen to Lin Yunchu on these things. They had never known that this thing could be eaten.

No one in the village has ever seen anyone eating bamboo roots. The bamboo around the village is generally used to make bamboo baskets and backpacks. I didn't expect that this thing could be made into food.

When the three of them returned to the Lin family, Lin Qingshan and his family had already left.

After Lin Changping put down his things, he rested for a while and then hurried back home.

Just say you're going to town early tomorrow morning and he'll come over early.

Lin's mother chased to the door, but Lin Changping was no longer there.

"This kid, I just told him to stay here and have dinner before going back, how could he run so fast?"

Mother Lin curled her lips and couldn't help muttering in the direction of Lin Qingshan's house.

"Mom, my eldest cousin might have something urgent to do. I'll fry some bamboo shoots for you all to try tonight. When it's done, I'll send a bowl to my uncle's house."

Lin Yunchu smiled and comforted Lin's mother who was standing at the gate of the yard.

She planned to try cooking the bamboo shoots she dug today in the evening and let everyone try how they taste.

After saying that, he took out a bamboo shoot from the basket, picked up the sickle and made a strong cut on the shell. With the cut, he easily peeled off the shell of the bamboo shoot, revealing the tender white bamboo shoot meat inside.

Lin Yunchu drew a basin of well water, washed the peeled bamboo shoots, and then went into the kitchen. He cut the bamboo shoots into slices, scooped clean water into the pot, and then put all the sliced ​​bamboo shoots into the pot under cold water, adding a little salt.

Then he threw two pieces of firewood into the stove, and the fire quickly boiled the water in the pot.

Lin Yunchu stood up and used a spoon to skim off the foam floating on the surface of the boiling water. Then he stood up and filled a half basin with cold water. Seeing that the bamboo shoots in the pot were almost cooked, he quickly took all the bamboo shoots out and soaked them in cold water to remove the astringency in them.

No matter how fresh and tender the bamboo shoots are, if this step is missing, the finished product will be astringent and inedible.

Then remove the bamboo shoots and drain the water for later use.

Today, Lin Yunchu and the other two went to the back mountain to dig bamboo shoots and came back late. Lin's mother had already prepared several dishes for dinner, so Lin Yunchu made this bamboo shoot dish for everyone to try.

Seeing that there were no other side dishes at home, Lin Yunchu cut up the remaining piece of pork in the kitchen and planned to make the simplest stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.

After a while, a unique aroma of bamboo shoots wafted from the Lin family's kitchen. Lin Changan was so greedy that he ran to the kitchen door and kept sniffing inside.

Lin Yunchu looked at the figure standing upright at the door, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

He quickly filled two bowls with the prepared stir-fried bamboo shoots and meat, put them in a basket, covered them with a layer of clean gauze, and quickly walked forward to hand them to Lin Changan.

He whispered, "Here, send one bowl to Sister Xiuxiu's house, and one bowl to Uncle's house. We'll have dinner when you come back."

The bamboo forest that they discovered today was the one Pan Xiuxiu pointed out to her. After the bamboo shoots are cooked, it’s time to send some to her for her to try.

Lin Chang'an was holding the bamboo basket handed to him by Lin Yunchu. The fragrance emanating from it became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help swallowing hard.

However, Lin Yunchu said that after sending the two bowls of dishes out, they could eat when they came back. Immediately, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he nodded repeatedly at Lin Yunchu with a smile, then turned around and ran out of the house.

"Where is he going when it's almost dinner time in Chang'an?"

Hearing the noise, Lin's mother hurried out of the yard and saw Lin Chang'an running away. She couldn't help but mutter something.

Lin Yunchu carried the freshly prepared stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat and explained to his mother, "I asked my younger brother to go out. Now that the bamboo shoots are ready, I sent some to Sister Xiuxiu and my uncle's family to try."

Mother Lin finally understood and nodded, muttering, "You should send some over. You did the right thing."

When Lin Yunchu and the other two came back just now, they told Lin's mother that the bamboo forest they were going to today was what Pan Xiuxiu had told Lin Yunchu about, so it was time to send a bowl to the Pan family as well.

The food was set on the table. The Lin family sat there talking about the bamboo shoots while waiting for Lin Changan to come back.

After just a few words, he saw Lin Changan coming back. He put down the basket in his hand and stared at the bowl of fried bamboo shoots with pork that Lin Yunchu had prepared in the evening.

Lin Yunchu had cooked bamboo shoots picked from the mountains many times before, but why did the bamboo shoots taste so tempting today? Coupled with the golden and roasted meat flavor, he was envious.

"Did you see Uncle Pan at Pan's house?"

Father Lin casually mentioned that there was a lot of work to do in the Pan family's fields on weekdays, and most of it was done by Father Pan alone. He didn't know if he had returned home at this time.

Lin Changan chewed a large mouthful of bamboo shoots while mumbling incoherently, "Uncle Pan is also at home... He wanted to invite me to dinner."

When Father Lin heard what Lin Changan said, he nodded.

"Sister, these bamboo shoots are even crispier and sweeter than the small ones from the mountain. They're so delicious."

Lin Chang'an was not a big man, but he couldn't stop eating the bamboo shoots and kept praising them.

Mother Lin also nodded in agreement: "Changan is right. I also think that the aroma of these bamboo shoots is stronger than the small ones we had before, and the taste is also crisper and sweeter."
