Next to my mom’s vegetable garden at the Farm, there is a lush forest of naturally grown bamboo. Every summer, the soil covers these bamboo shoots, especially after the rain, when clusters of them emerge, bringing a sense of joy just by looking at them.
Walking into the bamboo forest, once you see the bamboo shoot tips, gently loosen the soil along the edges. Be careful not to harm the small bamboo shoots and roots while cutting the connection between the bamboo roots and shoots. This helps keep the shoots tender and fresh.
Finally, cover the area with soil again to allow the bamboo roots to regenerate new shoots. The bamboo forest is pesticide-free and free from pest pollution, so there's no need to worry about health risks.
The shoots can be eaten raw after peeling, with no sour or astringent taste. You can also wash and stir-fry the fresh bamboo shoots or make "Xiandu" soup. They taste crisp and naturally sweet.
Hurry and enjoy this short-lived "delicacy from the bamboo forest"!

在我妈妈农场的菜园旁边，有一片茂密的自然生长的竹林。每年夏天，这些竹笋都会被泥土覆盖，尤其是雨后，竹笋一簇簇地冒出来，光是看着就有一种欣喜的感觉。
走进竹林，看到竹笋尖后，轻轻地松动边缘的泥土。切断竹根与竹笋的连接时，注意不要伤及小竹笋和根部。这有助于保持芽嫩和新鲜。
最后，再次用土覆盖该区域，让竹根再生新芽。竹林无农药、无病虫害污染，无需担心健康风险。
笋去皮后可生吃，无酸涩味。也可将鲜笋洗净炒食或做“仙都”汤。它们味道清脆，自然甜。
赶紧品尝这短暂的“竹林美味”吧！
