My hometown is not big. There are six houses side by side from east to west, with three rooms in each suite, separated by a corridor in the middle, and an old yard in front of the house. There are various side dishes in the old yard, such as coriander, lettuce, garlic sprouts, leeks, peppers... etc. This is the small yard of my hometown. I prefer all kinds of side dishes in the yard.

Everyone is very familiar with this piece of green coriander. The most common thing is that every time we go to drink rice noodles, the store will sprinkle a thin layer of coriander on it, which is fragrant. The special aroma and rich vitamins it contains can enhance the flavor, remove fishy smell, and enhance appetite. In addition, it also has the functions of dispelling cold, detoxifying, softening blood vessels, and strengthening the body. It is also an essential side dish that we often make fish soup at home. Its uses are so wide that I won’t list them all.

Seeing this tender green leaf seedling, you may not know many relatives! But when it comes to lettuce, everyone may be familiar with it. The tender and tender fried pork slices with lettuce are often placed on the table. Yes, these are lettuce seedlings. This time of year is the growing season for young seedlings. They will gradually be planted sparsely in the ground. They can withstand low temperatures. After winter and spring, you will be able to buy seasonal lettuce in the vegetable market.

Everyone must be familiar with these thin and long seedlings. When they are young, they are delicious garlic seedlings, and when they grow into large seedlings, they are garlic. "Garlic, you are cruel" was popular for a period of time not too long ago.

Leeks are a particularly popular green vegetable in daily life. It has a slightly pungent taste and a unique aroma. It can moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. It can be used to make dumplings stuffed with meat and vegetables, and is also popular as a stir-fry side dish.

Chili pepper dumplings are a special dish that people often eat every day. Does the sound of chili dumplings in Luo Mo rolls make your mouth water? Haha, it is so satisfying and satiating! Yes, those are the peppers in my mother’s yard, bunches and bunches.

The side dish next to the leeks and lettuce seedlings is still life cauliflower, which will look like the picture below when it grows up.

Cauliflower is a small green vegetable and has the highest nutritional value among green leafy vegetables. It can provide rich vitamin C and carotene, and is also one of the important sources of vitamin B2. It also contains high calcium and can be eaten regularly in daily life.

There is also this unknown side dish, which is emerging from the ground and is thriving.

The small courtyard of my hometown, which I love deeply, has evergreen side dishes that change all year round. Thank you to my dear parents for taking care of these seemingly dispensable lives, but they continue to live on. I am grateful to my parents who gave me life, gave me birth, raised me and encouraged me to step out of this world.

I deeply love the side dishes in my hometown’s small courtyard, which means that I long for you to live an endless life and grow happily. When my parents are here, life has its origin. In the next ten or twenty years... I also have a way back. I will talk to my beloved parents about mulberry seeds and vegetables in the small courtyard.
