Chapter 343 Spring Ploughing
The full moon hangs high in the sky, the stars scatter in the sky, and the night is like water and silk, scattering towards the entire Gaojia Village.
The calm Jianma Lake reflects the bright moon and stars, and the world in the water is as beautiful and charming as the night sky in reality.
If anyone can stand in the lake, look up at the sky first, look down and look in the water, he will definitely feel that he is not in the mundane world, but in the fairyland - a night sky is enough to be beautiful, and then add a mysterious world in the water. The two complement each other, complement each other, and be as beautiful as a fairyland.
A row of bamboo leaves set off from the shore of the lake and slowly sailed towards the depths of the lake, creating ripples in circles.
The ripples that continued to spread to the outside disturbed the peace of Jianma Lake. The night in the sky was still beautiful, but the world in the water became shaking due to the ups and downs of the waves, but it was even more tempting. It was shaking and shaking, making people dizzy and more intoxicated.
"Brother Xiaohui, it's so beautiful." The bamboo tray drove into the depths of the lake for hundreds of meters. Gao Qianqian leaned in Luo Hui's arms, looked up at the boundless sky, and then looked down at the same boundless world in the water. Without drinking, she felt a little drunk and happy drunk.
The bamboo tray slowly went deep into the lake. Gao Qianqian smiled sweetly, shook her head, and couldn't help but say to Luo Hui, and seemed to mutter to herself, "This feels so wonderful. I hope that time can stop at this moment forever..."
Luo Hui smiled slightly, without responding, but his fingers gently raised the little girl's chin and kissed her hot lips. Gao Qianqian, who was no longer unfamiliar with her kissing skills, responded enthusiastically.
Just on this lake, on this bamboo row, between the two beautiful worlds in the night sky and the water, the two kissed each other in the sky and the darkness. Maybe it was really drunk, maybe it was the tempting beauty, and the two couldn't help but love, and actually... Because of the existence of love crystallization, they were more devoted, more affectionate, and more delicate...
After the gentle excitement, Gao Qianqian lay in Luo Hui's arms, gasping slightly, her whole face was crimson. I don't know if it was because of the excitement just now, or because of shyness...
At this time, the bamboo raft had reached the beach of the island. The two of them came down from the bamboo raft, holding hands, on the beach, under the moonlight, talking endless love words, and strolling leisurely - between the world, presenting a suffocating night scroll - a romantic scroll!
“…”
Time is like a puddle under the sun, always evaporating and passing without realizing it.
More than ten days passed in a flash. Inside and outside the village, the bleakness left by winter no longer existed. The withered and yellow was completely replaced, and the green almost covered the entire village. All kinds of flowers bloomed all over the mountains, red, blue, yellow, purple, white, and all kinds of colors, attracting butterflies and bees to fly around.
On the hill, although they were planted last year, many fruit trees bloomed with beautiful flowers, which made the entire hill filled with the fragrance of flowers. Especially a few peach trees, full of pink petals, a breeze blowing, and the pink petals fell in the wind, making it indescribable poetic and picturesque.
In the bamboo forest, bamboo shoots burst out from the ground, some have grown to ten or even two or three feet long, and some have only poked out the tips of the bamboo shoots.
Due to sufficient temperature and rain, lip bamboo shoots are much thicker than winter bamboo shoots.
The bamboo shoots of winter bamboo shoots are generally yellow in color, while the lip bamboo shoots are gray or black in color; the bamboo shoots of winter bamboo shoots are shiny and have no fluff, like a pink girl, while the bamboo shoots are covered with black gray fluff, like a rough man; the bamboo shoots of winter bamboo shoots are duck yellow in color, pointed and thin, while the bamboo shoots of lips are blue in color, scattered and thick...
This is the difference between winter bamboo shoots and lip bamboo shoots.
If you understand these differences, you can still eat freshly unearthed winter bamboo shoots in this spring season.
Winter bamboo shoots will never grow bamboo. Even if they survived the cold winter month, withstood the snow, and came to the spring full of vitality and hope, and mixed into the team of bamboo shoots, they still cannot grow bamboo - because of their essence, they are always a winter bamboo shoot.
Why do many lip bamboo shoots die shortly after they grow?
Because a small part of these dead bamboo shoots were edested by insects, while the remaining ones were winter bamboo shoots.
If the bamboo shoots die, it is equivalent to being wasted in vain, so it is necessary to know how to distinguish between lip bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots.
Luo Hui had learned about the information online, so he knew how to distinguish between the two. From time to time, he carried a hoe to the bamboo forest behind the old house and digged bamboo shoots.
Mr. Luo, who is addicted to digging bamboo shoots, is also digging. They have heard Luo Hui explain the difference between lip-fried bamboo shoots, but they are not sure about it. They often dig the lip-fried bamboo shoots as winter bamboo shoots... After digging it out, the two old men showed off to Luo Hui with pride, "Xiao Hui, look at the winter bamboo shoots that Grandpa (Grandpa Xu) dug, which is much bigger than the largest one you dug last year..."
This made Luo Hui laugh and cry, but he couldn't say anything.
The two elders proudly took the largest "winter bamboo shoot" back and would choose it to put it in the pot. After cooking, they would immediately tremble their tongues and immediately understand that it was not "winter bamboo shoot" at all, but a lip bamboo shoot that was replaced with a fake bag!
I don’t know why, but in short, the tastes of winter bamboo shoots and lip bamboo shoots that also grow from bamboo whips are very different. Winter bamboo shoots are the best food for mixed vegetables, and the stir-fried beef in winter bamboo shoots is a classic dish. In the eyes of villagers, if lip bamboo shoots are used as dishes, they are waste products.
Like Gaojia Village, except for whom it is on a whim, few people go to dig up lips and shoots to eat. It would be fine if this thing doesn’t taste very good, but it also has a little characteristic - numb! That numb is comparable to numb and pepper!
Therefore, when cooking lip bamboo shoots, you must first use boiled water to cook them so that you can eat them again, but no matter how you do it, you can't cook them any more - this is why the villagers regard it as waste.

As the spring gets stronger, the ridges in the village become busy.
If it were placed in ordinary years, the fields would have been busy at this time, so why would you have to wait until now? The daylily is cold now.
In previous years, the paddy fields in Gaojia Village were planted for two seasons, so they were busy early. However, everyone has only planted for one season this year, so naturally the busy time has to be pushed a lot.
Why did the whole village change to planting rice for two seasons?
The reason is actually very simple. Farming is the most arduous and arduous job among all farm work.
Ploughing the fields, sowing seeds, planting rice seedlings, fertilizing, repeatedly treating insects, watering, harvesting every few days, and after harvesting, there are still a lot of trivial things... It seems that it’s not a big deal, but in fact, every step takes a lot of time, thought, or even money!
Especially harvesting early rice and planting late rice are closely linked. They are planted after harvesting. In the countryside, they are called - double grabs!
The double grab is carried out in the scorching heat, the most tormenting!
If farming can have some economic benefits, it would be fine. The key is that farming cannot bring much economic income to the villagers.
Although the news always says that this year the rice yield exceeded kilograms, and the pilot fields were even more so. In fact, these numbers are not good, and they have nothing to do with the farmers’ uncles...
Farmers’ uncles farming are a habit that has been around for decades and a manifestation of the essence of hard work. Even if they know that there is no money in farming, even if they know that farming is exhausted, they are unwilling to let the fields be deserted.
