Chapter 220
If bamboo shoots are fried directly, they will have a slightly astringent taste, which will affect the taste. Usually, Su Miao’s family will make them into sweet or sour bamboo shoots. Now that there is not enough time, you can blanch them in water first.
First slice the bamboo shoots, then boil them in light salt water for a few minutes, then take them out and wash them twice in clean water.
Bamboo shoots are a "lean vegetable" and their aroma can be further enhanced when paired with fatty bacon.
In a hot pan, stir-fry the fat and lean bacon until oil comes out, then add minced garlic and a little chili pepper. When the aroma comes out, add the bamboo shoots and stir-fry.
The peeled bamboo shoots looked few, but the cut portions were quite large. After two pots of stir-frying, Su Miao stir-fried the old friend pork offal while the pot was still hot.
They brought a lot of ingredients, a full pot, and the overbearing aroma swept across half of the forest.
Now, not only classmates in the same class were drooling over her, but even students from other classes were looking in Su Miao's direction.
Su Miao was very quick and nimble. After she finished cooking all the dishes, the porridge was still hot. She said, "Call people, let's eat!"
The other three went to invite the groups that had borrowed things from others to come over and eat bamboo shoots. They were a little embarrassed and brought the food made by their own group as well.
Some people made homemade rice rolls, some cooked dumplings and wontons, and some roasted sweet potatoes and taro.
The physical education committee member also brought two striped woven bags and spread them on the ground, filling them up, making it a dinner for twenty people.
Although the others were drooling over the pot of eel porridge, it was obviously cooked per person, so they couldn't let others share it. They were satisfied with just a handful of stir-fried bamboo shoots and stir-fried pork offal.
Su Miao opened the papaya shreds at the right time and invited everyone to try them. Only then did everyone truly realize Su Miao's craftsmanship.
"Su Miao, after eating the dishes you cooked, I want to eat at your restaurant even more."
"Su Miao, did you make this shredded papaya? Do you sell it in the store? My mom really likes this kind of pickled vegetable, I want to buy some."
"I think if it weren't for the environmental restrictions, you might be able to prepare a full Manchu-Han banquet."
"Would you like to try my roasted sweet potatoes? My uncle grows them back home and brings us a lot every year."
A group of classmates sat together, sharing food and chatting. Such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere is very rare. This is the charm of group activities. Today can be regarded as an ice-breaking journey.
Afterwards, the head teacher gathered everyone together to sing and play games, and the atmosphere was lively.
Time soon came to 3:30 in the afternoon. The head teacher gave everyone half an hour to pack up their things as the bus would pick them up at four o'clock.
Su Miao's team didn't bring much stuff with them, and all the food had been used up. They just needed to tidy up a bit and wait for Liang Manman's father to drive over.
Liang Manman looked at the unwashed casserole and said, "I'll go wash the pot."
Su Miao was wrapping the wok in newspaper again and said, "Okay, just rinse it in the stream for a couple of times. I'll wash it with hot water when I get back."
After a while, they packed up their things and heard Liang Manman exclaim, "Ah! What is that?"
Su Miao looked back and saw Liang Manman walking towards them with a casserole pot in her hand. She seemed to be frightened by something and her face was pale, but she held the pot steadily in her hand and did not drop it.
Several people hurried over to see that Su Miao hadn't even forgotten to put down the spatula in his hand.
Wei Siya asked anxiously: "Manman, what's wrong with you?"
Liang Manman carefully put the casserole on the ground and covered her ankle, saying, "I don't know what kind of insect bit me. It hurts so much."
Just now she went to wash the pot and rolled up her trouser legs for fear of getting them wet, intending to put them down when she returned to the "camp", but she didn't expect to be bitten on the way.
Su Miao said, "Let us see if the wound is serious."
As soon as she let go of her hand, the three of them were shocked. This was not a bug bite, but a snake bite.
Wei Siya's voice trembled a little: "Manman! You were bitten by a snake."
Liang Manman sat down on the ground after hearing this: "It hurts! It really hurts! Come on, help me see if my dad is here! I need to go to the hospital."
Ye Jiayin reacted immediately and asked Wei Siya to call the class teacher. She went over and pressed the wound near her heart. She didn't know what kind of snake it was, but if it was a highly poisonous snake, it would be troublesome.
Maybe her movements were too big and startled the little snake that had not left after biting her.
It bared its fangs in the corner and arched its neck, ready to attack again.
This time it was not so lucky. It was discovered in advance by the sharp-eyed Su Miao, who hit it with a spatula, which made it see stars.
"There's the snake! Hit it!"
The students around heard the noise and came over. Before the snake could react, they beat it to death with hoes and shovels.
The head teacher rushed over and asked, "What's going on? Did you see what kind of snake it was?"
The squad leader looked at the small, emerald green snake on the ground and said to him with a grim expression, "It's a bamboo snake!"
The head teacher thought to himself that this was not good. The bamboo pit viper is a poisonous snake and needs to be sent to the hospital immediately.
Liang Manman leaned against Ye Jiayin's side and yelled, "Forget about the snake, take care of me! This wound hurts like it's been sprayed with pepper spray!"
Su Miao came over with some water and said to Ye Jiayin, "Sister Jiayin, I'll flush the wound. You squeeze it hard to flush out the blood containing the snake venom."
Seeing that the bus hadn't arrived yet, the head teacher made a quick decision and said, "Whoever comes here on a tricycle, please requisition it. I'll take Liang Manman to the hospital on it."
The gym teacher said, "My tricycle is just down the slope. I'll go there later."
"Su Miao, how about this? Can you stop the flushing now?"
"Actually, it'll take a little longer, but getting to the hospital is the most urgent thing right now. Is there a rope or something we can use to tie up her legs to slow the spread of the venom?"
The squad leader took a tying rope and tied it around the lower end of the knee joint of Liang Manman's injured leg. At the same time, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin continued to wash.
The head teacher carried Liang Manman into the car. At this time, Liang Manman was already very scared. After all, the bamboo pit viper was notorious and was the most common venomous snake in their area. Every year, there were incidents of people being bitten to death or disabled by it.
"Miaomiao, Jiayin, can you guys accompany me to the hospital? I'm so scared."
The head teacher said: "Come on board! I can pull it."
Ye Jiayin was in good physical condition, so he ran for a while at the bottom. The sports committee member followed behind, pushing the cart, intending to stop when he could no longer run. His family lived in the village in the city, so he was very familiar with the area. He said:
"Homeroom teacher, there's a hospital five kilometers down this road. They have medicine there. In the past, when someone in our village was bitten, they were sent there for injections."
The head teacher pedaled with all her strength for a kilometer, and Su Miao suddenly waved to a car that was coming towards them.
He waved and shouted, "It's Uncle Liang's car! Uncle Liang! Stop now!"
When Liang Manman heard it was her father's car, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Come quickly, Dad! Help!!!"
