1. Dried tribute is to cut fresh tribute into strips and dry them until the water is dry. They can be kept for a long time, but they can only be eaten after being soaked in water. Fresh tributes are just picked and won't last long, but they can be boiled directly without soaking.
2. Dried food and fresh food have different tastes. After soaking, dried tribute vegetables still maintain a crisp texture, while fresh tribute vegetables are more tender and smooth and crisp to eat.
3. The practice of tribute and fresh tribute is also different. Dry tribute is generally used for cold salad, fried meat or hot pot, while fresh tribute can be used for scrambled eggs, stewed meat or salad.
