Childhood memories of "scabs"
I still remember when I was a child, my grandparents would carry bamboo baskets on their backs, then take a hoe and a sickle in their hands, and then take a snakeskin bag and go to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots. Go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots must be early, eat breakfast early in the morning, breakfast may be steamed porridge with tofu milk, or pickled rice with oil braised bamboo shoots, salty bamboo shoots, breakfast must be full, because when to dig the bamboo shoots do not know. Put on rubber shoes or People's Liberation Army cloth shoes, which are non-slip, go up the mountain, and when the sun comes down slightly, the snakeskin bag is full, and then go down the mountain.

There are countless ways to eat fresh bamboo shoots, and almost all the bamboo shoots are present on the dinner table of every household in the bamboo shoot season. But after all, the shelf life of bamboo shoots is not long, how can you let the family eat this mouthful in the season without bamboo shoots, which has dried bamboo shoots or canned bamboo shoots.
The processing method of dried sheep tail shoots

After about 3 hours of simmering, the bamboo shoots become small and dry as the moisture gradually decreases. Spread the dried bamboo shoots evenly on the bamboo plaque and remember to be exposed to the sun!
