Bitter shoots at the end of the season

I stopped by a row of bitter bamboo shoots along the roadside. Seeing that the bark of the bamboo shoot has turned dark green, the ears of the bamboo shoot are sharp and pointed, knowing that the bitter taste of the bamboo shoots is enough for the enjoyment to shiver.
It seems that bitter bamboo shoots are very taboo or it can be very well suited for the sound. The sound of thunder in the beginning of the season calls for awakening in the bamboo shoots, the sound of early summer cicadas reminds the end of the bitter bamboo shoot to grow up into a bamboo tree.

Bitter bamboo is the earliest of all types of bamboo shoots. In the high mountains all year round, there is white mist where bitter bamboo shoots grow. Thick fogs are dense early in the morning, thin late afternoon fog always keeps the forest cool and grows shoots of bamboo shoots. It is known that the bamboo shoot season is due to the acacia tree along the stream. When seen under the leaf armpits, the tips of the twigs sprouted young, purple, shiny buds, they called each other to look for bamboo shoots. The young tree buds signal that the bamboo shoots in the forest have sprouted. Every year the buds on the tree grow more, that year the rain will be favorable and the bamboo shoots will be more delicious. The tree grows only along streams, bitter bamboo shoots like to live in high mountains. Who found that predestined relationship? I do not know. Hearing the old people say, grandparents in the old days took a lot of work, sometimes even their lives could find the tubers, the fruit that could be eaten, the leaves, the plants that could be treated. The forest is immense, there are many mysteries. Every time you go to the forest, do not just rely on the available experience, you must know to find for yourself valuable experiences, to tell your neighbors, to tell your children, to your children. If you want to get bamboo shoots deep underground, you must find by experience. Digging out the dry leaves around the bamboo base, seeing where the soil was pushed up, the meniscus was stretched and ached, and there was a rough crack like the roots of a tree, there was bamboo shoots. The first shoot must be enjoyed immediately. At this time, bamboo shoots have not yet grown from the ground, so it is very sweet. Peel off the pale purple skin, white bamboo shoots. Get the packet of grilled chili salt available from home and place it down on the dry leaves for dipping. Perhaps only bitter bamboo shoots can be eaten raw, because they do not taste as bitter and spicy as other types of bamboo shoots. There are times when people find bamboo shoots according to the traces of the pineapple. Bamboo shoot is the most favorite dish of the mountain. Just sniffing is to know where there are sleeping bamboo shoots. But the bamboo shoots in the depths and the piles are small. It gurgled from night to morning but still had not seen the bamboo shoot. In the morning people also go to the forest to look for bamboo shoots. You just need to find the holes and dig a few holes, dig a few more spades to have bamboo shoots in your boss. Anyone who knows how to think will leave it for a piece of bamboo, whoever greedily will take it. Poor uncle so hungry, sitting in the cave looking regretfully, waiting for someone to go to run out to gnaw some remaining bamboo shoots. When the new rain brought the thunder of the beginning of the season, thundering running along the roofs, running across the rice fields, the bitter bamboo shoots in the forest reaching out to sprout the soil. The sound of thunder calls bamboo shoots up. The sound of thunder transmits soul, personality, and bitterness. Jagged shoots to grow. The earrings are like ears pushed up and listen to thunder and rain. Then, the sweet taste of bamboo shoots will gradually turn bitter. At first it was messy, then bitter, crispy and bitter. Bitter taste makes us feel hungry when a certain season of bamboo shoots away from the mountains and home. There are also people who do not like the bitter taste, they already have young acacia leaves. The acacia leaf is a type of acrid leaf, perhaps the most acrid among the acrid leaves. Pick up the bunch of leaves, roll them around the bamboo shoots, dot in the bowl diagonally, bring them to your mouth to chew. Seeing that the bitter taste is only as thin as the afternoon dew, the crispy sweet taste like bamboo shoots mixed with the pulp of the acrid leaves, the bitter taste of the wild chili, the numbness of the tongue of the cocoon fruit, the salty taste of salt. . Eating bamboo shoots in a warm dinner and seeing all the sweetness, bitterness. This morning, passing the stream Waiting for Cage, I suddenly stood in awe in front of the acacia tree. Each bunch of young, shiny, purple leaves have turned blue ever since. Bewildered at the top of the branch, shy under the leaf armpits, like bunches of bright yellow buds like drops of honey flies drinking from the sun. Hidden in the canopy of leaves and leaves, there have been a few hours of early summer calls. Just a few more days, the drops of honey will bloom into hundreds of brilliant yellow flowers.
