Where can Shanghainese dig bamboo shoots for fun?
March 8, 211
Drunk in the waterfalls of streams, savoring bamboo shoots and frying Malan;
a hundred steps before praying for the stone, Xigang hill overflows with tribute tea.

1. Introduction to Tourism:
It is a good choice to spend a day as a mountaineer and dig bamboo shoots in Song 'ao Village, Lubu Town, Yuyao City. After the vernal equinox to Qingming, there are many days when the rain clears. Let's set off for Song 'ao Village in Lubu Town! When I arrived at the reception desk for digging bamboo shoots, I borrowed a hoe and got a dustpan. When I arrived at the designated bamboo forest for digging bamboo shoots, I began to dig. If you happen to be free, you can try a unique "bamboo feast", or you can take your children, sneak into the bamboo garden, dig bamboo shoots, breathe fresh air and take an "ecological tour".
there is another taste of enjoying bamboo here, which is absolutely not felt in other places, that is, in the bamboo forest, bamboo leaves and the wind have an ethereal feeling. Friends who like bamboo products can go to the bamboo products market in Lubu town, and you can definitely find a lot of "treasures" here. Bamboo mat, bamboo basket, bamboo chair.
For ordinary citizens, the Bamboo Shooting Festival is a time to find leisure. After digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo garden, the family can sit down to eat farm products and taste the fresh bamboo shoots that have just been dug. It's fun. Song 'ao Village, Lubu Town, launched the "Bamboo Country Eco-Tour" during the Bamboo Shooting Festival. On weekends, citizens may wish to experience it.
Second, Bamboo Shooting Festival in Bamboo Country

When it comes to bamboo, he can never forget the scene of digging bamboo shoots as a child.
there is a small stream in the village, which comes from the mountain stream in the south to the north, naturally dividing the village into two parts, measuring a large field with its small steps, and then slowly merging into a larger stream. The small stream is the lifeblood of our small village, and several bamboo forests of different sizes have been raised along the way. In my childhood memory, bamboo forest is our children's paradise. Digging bamboo shoots is not only a labor, but also a kind of entertainment, and sometimes it becomes a means of gathering money.
Spring is the time when tender bamboos grow. When we are carrying baskets and mowing the grass to check the fruit, we will pass by the bamboo forest and see those sharp bamboo shoots that are flourishing and rushing straight up every day, and there will always be inexplicable excitement and expectation. We usually don't fold this kind of bamboo, it is necessary to carry on the family line. The bamboo shoots we dig are called bamboo root bamboo shoots, which are underground bamboo shoots that grow from bamboo roots.
This kind of bamboo shoots began to form in late spring, spanning the whole summer and continuing into early autumn, with a growing period of several months. During the long and hot summer vacation, we children are indispensable in the bamboo forest.
the best time to dig bamboo shoots is after a rain. The first day, it rained thoroughly, and the next day it began to clear up, and the ground was very fluffy. Get up early, we will meet some partners, carry a basket and a sickle, and come straight to the bamboo forest. When I got into the Woods, I scattered separately and went to find a new world. With a little light, you look at the ground carefully, and in the gap covered by dead leaves, you will soon find that one by one, the tips are stuck up. Sometimes, your feet will be stung by carelessness. It turns out that they are hiding under your feet and seem to say hello to you. The sharp corners drilled out are pink, lavender and light cyan, which are elegant and interesting, and really cute. You can judge the overall direction of the bamboo shoot according to the direction of its head. Just insert the tip of the sickle along the edge of the bamboo shoot, about 1 cm, and pull it hard, and it will be crunchy and broken. Just follow the tip of the bamboo shoot and pull it out, with little effort. In addition to the color on the ground, the long underground part is milky white and chubby, and this kind of bamboo shoot is the most tender. Generally speaking, the green-headed ones are not very delicious. If you are lucky, there will not be many people that day. In less than half an hour, the basket will be full, so you can go home and have breakfast.
However, this kind of good time is rare. If the weather is dry, you have to pay attention to skills in digging bamboo shoots. If you are among the first to go into the forest, you are lucky. Experienced people can judge by stepping on the soil with their feet. The ground is loose where bamboo shoots are hidden below. If the soil under your feet is elastic and the sickle is inserted, you will often get something. Your feet are not good enough, it depends on the cracks in the ground. If a bamboo shoot wants to break through the ground, it will push against the soil at the beginning. The soil is too hard and will break the cracks, just like a tree heel. You can try inserting the sickle, and when you hear the sound of "sting-",there will be a treasure. Of course, there will be many illusions, and there will be cracks in other situations. The bamboo shoots found in this way are not as convenient to dig up as before, because you don't know its direction, and you have to move the soil above to judge. Sometimes, the same bamboo root will grow several bamboo shoots, that is, twins and triplets, and many may have five or six, which is particularly exciting. Others, with several old bamboo roots across them, crisscrossed, took half a day to dig out.
I can't count our small bamboo forest. There are several groups of people coming in and out every day. Many times, you can't catch up with the first batch, so it's a little troublesome. Because the soil has been turned out to be deformed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is digging three feet. There is no trace, no trace, and all the methods mentioned above for finding bamboo shoots can't be used. Then we have to use the stupid method, that is, scribble on the ground with a sickle and judge by the sound. In this way, the chances of finding it are reduced by countless. However, strange to say, the bamboo shoots can't be dug up. No matter when you go, as long as you are patient, you won't leave empty-handed.
when I was in primary school, my family conditions were not very good. Besides doing housework, I had to save my own tuition, and digging bamboo shoots was also an income. During the summer vacation, if someone in the village or outside the village buys bamboo shoots, they usually come every other day. We buried the bamboo shoots dug the day before in the sand and sold them together with those of the day. Together with other small incomes, I can basically solve my tuition in one summer. If you don't sell it, eat it yourself. Bamboo shoots are more delicious than any kind of bamboo shoots. This delicacy is unobtrusive, heartfelt, and permeates from the bones. No matter what dish you fry with, it doesn't go stale. On traditional festivals, almost every household will send people to the bamboo garden. When bamboo shoots are dug, we will cook something delicious, and the whole family will live happily.
