Bamboo shoots, belonging to Gramineae, are similar in appearance to rice seedlings, so they are also called bamboo shoots. The difference between bamboo shoots and rice seedlings is that the leaves of bamboo shoots are longer and fatter than those of rice, and they are flourishing. The southern part of Mount Tai has a large output, with Doushan as the most and Liucun as the best. Bamboo shoots are suitable for growing along ponds. Every year in the middle of spring, the dead manuscripts are divided into small trees, which are planted in lowlands with water and can grow all year round without fertilization. At the end of summer, bamboo shoots will be lush and green, and then they will be poured with mud between the dry branches, leaving gaps for them to sprout in large numbers. Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be springing up like mushrooms after rain, so you can harvest it at this time. There are three ways to eat bamboo shoots: frying, frying and making soup. When frying, first cut the bamboo shoots in half, then draw a deep mark on the section with a knife, separate them slightly, fill in the pulp (the pulp made by mixing fish and pork), and fry in oil into a paste (called "thicken" in Mandarin). You can also use pork or shrimp with cooking and soup.

Watercress

It is fragrant and delicious, and it can be cooked and fried, which is loved by many people. Whenever the north wind rises and the climate is dry, it is more appropriate to make soup. Rich people throw duck kidneys, oyster sauce, shrimps or pig bones, while light people throw some sweet potatoes or clear pots, each with its own flavor, which has the effect of clearing away heat and moistening the lungs. Western food has been everywhere in our city, but Shanxi Gate is the best. Besides soil, fertilizer and water, cultivation techniques are the most important. At the end of19th century, a peddler traveled from one place to another. Once, I saw a returned overseas Chinese plant two pots of wild vegetables in Duhu, and asked him, saying that they were brought back from other countries, called douban, which was edible, and they were brought back in bundles, planted in the garden, watered in the morning and evening, and grew well. One day, he accidentally abandoned the old stem of this dish in the ditch. A few days later, he found that all the old stems had sprouted. Driven by curiosity, he tried to plant the old stem in the ditch water. As a result, he found that hydroponics grew faster than dry farming and the quality of vegetables was better. Since then, watercress has settled in Zhaxi, changing from dry farming to hydroponics. Later, after many explorations by local farmers, the planting technology continued to innovate. Zhaxi Douban is a well-known local product in our city, especially in Shixiang Village.

Doushan Town has an area of 49,985 mu of cultivated land (including 45,273 mu of paddy field and 47 12 mu of dry land) and 48,696 mu of forest land. Located in the high-yield demonstration film of rice known as "the first field in Guangdong", it is rich in high-quality rice. Water conservancy facilities are complete and water resources are sufficient. There are 6 small and medium-sized Shantang reservoirs in Doushan Town, which can store 3.6 million cubic meters of water. In addition, Dalongdong Reservoir, Zhujitan Reservoir and Qishan Reservoir also provide water to irrigate most of the farmland in Doushan Town, creating favorable conditions for agriculture in Doushan Town. After years of efforts, the "three highs" agriculture in Doushan Town has begun to take shape, with production bases such as beans, vegetables, eels, fruits and lotus roots, and is now developing into a base-based, intensive and large-scale agricultural modernization pattern.
