Spring is a good time for everything to grow, and wild vegetables also show their indomitable characteristics at this time and grow quietly in the humid countryside. Some days after the Spring Festival, farmers haven't started farming. This is the flourishing period of wild vegetables. As long as there is running water, there are all kinds of wild vegetables in Tianjili, riverside and hillside. The growth days of these wild vegetables are very short, especially in Tianjili. When farmers start farming after the Qingming Festival, they will face the fate of being cleaned up.
In the past, these wild vegetables were not used to eat, some were used to feed pigs, and some were used to boil water and bathe women who were confined to their confinement. Nowadays, because there are too many dishes with pesticide residues in the market, people begin to pursue the most primitive and authentic vegetables, especially the sweetness and chewiness that melt in the mouth, so wild vegetables are grandly put on the table, with soup, boiled, fried, braised and cooked.
