Ye Yaliang's Pickled Bamboo Shoots

　　Thanks to the CCTV food documentary "A Bite of China," Ye Yaliang from Yejiutun Village, Guren Village, Shapu Town, Liucheng County, and his pickled bamboo shoots became famous nationwide. Ye Yaliang sells over 50,000 kilograms of pickled bamboo shoots every year. The bamboo shoots he pickles using traditional "rustic" methods usually take about 20 days to ferment. However, there’s no special secret to how Ye Yaliang makes such delicious pickled bamboo shoots—he simply soaks them in unpolluted spring water from the back of his hill, mixed with aged jar brine.
