In the 1970s and 1980s, bitter herbs were really everywhere, but in modern society, with the emergence of herbicides, bitter herbs gradually decreased and were generally put out by herbicides, even though some bitter herbs were more or less grown on the ridges. To tell the truth, now we rural people are afraid of herbicide pesticide residues and dare not pick them back and sell them in the city. Once customers eat bitter vegetables containing herbicides, they will be poisoned.
In the past, the hometown of rural seven-star farmers was full of bitter vegetables, especially on the ridge of the field. When I was a child, I often picked it and dried it and sold it to Chinese medicine companies for money. However, in recent years, people no longer plough and use herbicides to weed, and the resources of bitter vegetables are becoming less and less. Even if you sell it at the price of 8 yuan and 80 yuan a catty, it is difficult to pick a catty or two of bitter vegetables a day.
Therefore, seven-star farmers personally think that bitter vegetables that can be seen everywhere in rural areas can be sold to 8 yuan for a catty. The main reason is the high labor cost. Young people make a lot of money and can't choose. It's just that some old people are slow to pick, and there are not many places to pick. They can't pick two or three pounds of bitter vegetables a day. They also need a ride to the city to sell, and they can't make much money. what do you think? Welcome to comment!
[Love life, like communication, please pay more attention to the seven-star old farmer's answer, thank you very much! ]
Bitter vegetables, which we call bitter vegetables here, are the best time to pick bitter vegetables in the field. Because it has been raining recently, Sophora alopecuroides absorbs enough water and grows rapidly and vigorously. Sophora alopecuroides can reproduce and grow in fields, foothills or barren plots because of its strong growth ability. Therefore, wild vegetables are bitter, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "blooming everywhere".
However, why can amaranth, which can be seen everywhere in rural areas, be sold to 8 yuan/Jin, which exceeds the price of most vegetables? Personally, there are mainly the following points:
Many people in rural areas know that Sophora alopecuroides can be eaten, but they mainly eat it after picking, and there is no consciousness of selling it for profit. In addition, the vendors who buy dried vegetables in the village have no idea of buying bitter vegetables. In this way, although the rural Sophora alopecuroides has certain edible value, no one makes full use of it and opens the market.
Moreover, Sophora alopecuroides, as a kind of wild vegetable, has always been on the dining table of rural people, mainly because there was no food to eat before. Now there are many kinds of vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, sauerkraut, sweet potato leaves, cucumbers and so on. This can be highly selective. Therefore, many rural people stop picking bitter vegetables, especially young people in rural areas. Only the elderly pick some and come back to taste them in the season. In this way, Sophora alopecuroides cannot form a market economy.
Therefore, Sophora alopecuroides cannot form a market economy, and there are not many in the market. Things are rare and expensive, and the price is naturally high. Otherwise, if you only sell 1~2 A Jin days, and the price is 1~2 yuan/kg, you won't make money, so there is no need for food stalls to sell this dish.
In general, seasonal vegetables are more expensive because they are only available this season. If you don't eat them, you must wait until next year. Therefore, seasonal vegetables have the basis of selling at high prices. Sophora alopecuroides is a wild vegetable with strong seasonality. Only in this season, corn enters the growth period, grows vigorously and grows many tender leaves. Amaranth picked at this time is the best. Therefore, Sophora alopecuroides can be sold at a high price of 8 yuan/Jin, which is inseparable from seasonality.
Ok, I'll share the above questions about the price of bitter vegetables (bitter vegetables) with you at the price of 8 yuan per catty. Welcome to comment and discuss.
Bitter vegetables can be sold for 8 yuan a catty, which is very good. Bitter vegetables taste bitter, many people don't like them, and the market demand is limited, so naturally they can't sell at high prices. You see, Toona sinensis leaves are everywhere in the countryside, but they can be sold at high prices. That's because the leaves of Toona sinensis are really unique, so many people like to eat them.
Although bitter vegetables have many benefits, such as antipyretic, detoxification, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and cancer prevention, all the wild vegetables that can be eaten in rural areas seem to have certain medicinal value, which is why farmers' pigs rarely get sick.
I remember when I was a child, I had to raise several pigs every year at home, so I went to the fields to look for pig grass. Bitter vegetables were one of them, and many wild vegetables were also regarded as pig grass. Pigs often eat wild vegetables, which not only eat a lot, but also make them very healthy and strong. On the other hand, they often feed wild vegetables to pigs. A pig must eat at least several kilograms of wild vegetables at a meal, and wild vegetables are so expensive. Did you lose a lot by selling pork at last?
In the past, when the countryside was poor, there was nothing to eat. Many country people will go to the mountains to find wild vegetables to eat. Among many wild vegetables, sowthistle is the least favored. Because of their bitter taste, many people don't like to eat them, so they are naturally worthless.
Speaking of nutritional value, can bitter vegetable compare with radish? Radish is called talinum, which can be eaten in water or fried in hot pot. It's delicious. The key is cheap, so bitter vegetables are not very popular in rural markets, and the price can be sold for 8 yuan a catty. Moreover, after picking bitter vegetables home, cleaning and screening operations will take up a large part, and the real cost of bitter vegetables is estimated to be two or three yuan a catty. what do you think?
Why can bitter vegetables everywhere in rural areas be sold to 8 yuan for a catty?
Sophora alopecuroides is a perennial herb, which is distributed in some provinces in northern and southern China and often grows in fields, hillsides and roadsides. Its official Chinese name is Sonchus sonchifolius, and its aliases are bitter vegetables, bitter vegetables and so on. In our country, it is often called bitter Qiong dish or bitter Qiong (homophonic).
Appearance characteristics of Sophora alopecuroides: perennial herb, with straight roots and slightly thick white. The shape of the leaves growing at the base is basically the same as that on the stem, and they are oblanceolate or rectangular. Most leaves growing at the base are the main part of people's food, with green surface, light green back and obvious midrib. It has a stem with a forked umbel at the top and yellow flowers. The preface is spherical, and the fruit has a white crown hair at one end, which is about one centimeter long. The flowering and fruiting periods here are usually from May to September.
According to the determination, Sophora alopecuroides contains protein, fat, sugar, carotene, ascorbic acid, iron, calcium and other nutrients, which have nourishing and health-care effects on human body after eating. Therefore, Sophora alopecuroides is a kind of wild vegetable food selected by our ancestors from many wild plants for many years, which has exquisite value after eating for many years. There are many ways to eat, so I won't be wordy.
In addition, Sophora alopecuroides also contains saponins, aminobutyric acid, flavonoids and other effective components, which have the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and analgesia in medicine.
The subject asked why bitter vegetables can be sold for 8 yuan a catty, because they are edible and delicious. At the beginning of April, 20 yuan sold a kilo here, and now 10 yuan sells a kilo.
There are many kinds of bitter wild vegetables, and bitter vegetables refer to different things in different places. Spinach believes that sonchus, sonchus and sonchus can all be counted as bitter vegetables. Here, taking sonchus oleraceus as an example, analyze the reason why it can sell for eight yuan a catty.
Although today's wild vegetables are sought after, not all wild vegetables have such luck. There are wild vegetables that sell for tens of yuan a catty, some that sell for several yuan a catty, and some that are not easy to sell. Sophora alopecuroides is a kind of wild vegetable with ordinary price. Wild ones are not much cheaper than pork, and farmed ones are not so good to sell. Bitter vegetables are so bitter, why can they be sold for eight yuan a catty?
Wild vegetables in rural areas can be divided into two categories according to their living conditions: the first category is that although they are flooded, pigs are unwilling to eat them. The representative of this kind of wild vegetables are water peanuts (hollow amaranth), purslane, especially water peanuts, which have strong vitality and bring great harm to agricultural production; The second kind of rare wild vegetables, represented by chicory and water shield.
The first category is not so much wild vegetables as weeds. It was only many years ago that it was regarded as food to satisfy hunger and gained the reputation of "wild vegetables". At that time, although there was no salty taste, you couldn't make delicious dishes with this kind of wild grass, but now you can make delicious dishes without lack of oil and salt. But because they can be seen everywhere in rural areas, it is impossible to be eliminated, so the price is naturally not high.
The second kind of endive is obviously different from the first one, because it is an ordinary solitary herb, which does not grow a large piece like a rattan, nor does it have as many tillers as a tufted plant. Often you can only see a few plants in a certain place, and you have to look everywhere after digging. Therefore, its excavation cost is high.
The wild vegetables you can eat in a year are also related to the season. Some eat buds, some eat roots, and some eat flowers. To get the best wild vegetables, we must dig them in the best season. Wild vegetables grow for one or more years, but their edible parts may get old, die or taste worse in a very short time, as is the case with chicory.
Although chicory is a perennial plant, it is not delicious after buds appear at the top of the stem. Stichopus japonicus often digs chicory in the field, but it is mostly used as pig grass. It is found that pigs also prefer to eat tender chicory, so the short eating period is also an important reason for selling it close to the price of pork.
Although this kind of chicory is not everywhere in rural areas, the rural people here are really reluctant to eat it because it is a bit bitter. I usually eat too many dishes, which is not bad. On the contrary, city people are willing to pay a high price to clear their stomachs.
Wild sonchus is the most tender in April and May, and then corn is planted, and even less wild. Because most of them are wild, there is no large amount of farming, which also has an impact on the market, so it is not surprising that chicory can be sold for eight yuan a catty.
Bitter gourd and many other bitter vegetables have the function of igniting fire, and it is said that the same is true of bitter vegetables. In addition, there are many functions. If you are tired of eating greasy meat and ordinary vegetables, it is not bad to eat bitter vegetables.
There is a folk proverb, "Bitter vegetables are fragrant and often difficult to eat; Bitter leaves are bitter. Eating them often is like ginseng tonic. "In our hometown, there are many bitter vegetables on the river beach and fruit trees, and the leaves of bitter vegetables have no green color and are very inconspicuous. As a child and now, bitter vegetables are common dishes on the table of ordinary people. In my hometown, we call them chicory, whose scientific name is defeated sauce.
Bitter vegetables are particularly adaptable, heat-resistant, drought-resistant, relatively cold-resistant, and have low requirements for soil. So it can't be said that the countryside is everywhere, but it is indeed a lot. If the price of my hometown does not exceed five yuan, I can buy a lot with two yuan, and I often buy it in the county. Without 8 yuan money, I don't know where the topic came from. Although there are many bitter vegetables in the countryside, I have to dig slowly to find fresh ones.
Bitter vegetables are edible and medicinal, and there are many ways to eat them. No matter how you eat it, it has a faint bitterness. Let me popularize the way to eat bitter vegetables:
1. Cold salad. When eating, blanch the bitter vegetables, take them out, wash off the bitterness, chop them up, add garlic paste, salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil and vinegar, and mix well before eating.
2. Stir-fry, you can stir-fry, stir-fry with meat, and stir-fry with pork liver.
3. Make buns and wrap jiaozi. Stuffing can go with eggs and meat.
4. Squeeze juice, not commonly used. You can drink it after adding sugar to clear away heat and toxic materials.
5. Marinate, marinate with salt, or marinate into sauerkraut.
6. Dried in the sun to make dried bitter vegetables, which can be used to stew meat, ribs and fat intestines.
But I want to remind you that bitter vegetables have a strong "foot odor" after drying (this was discovered in the library today).
There are so many ways to eat, but people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold can't eat.
According to the library, bitter vegetables can be used as medicine, taste bitter and cool, clear away heat and toxic materials, and can be used for adjuvant treatment of diseases such as cold, fever, tonsillitis, unknown swelling, eczema and dysentery.
Bitter vegetables have many functions. It is not valuable in the countryside, but it is estimated to be expensive in the city. Something for 8 yuan, I think it should be a hot commodity.
There are many reasons for this. Although there were many rural areas at first, with the improvement of living conditions, people generally stopped eating wild vegetables. In addition, because of the excessive use of pesticides, they did not dare to eat hard food casually. Later, people began to pay attention to wild vegetables because of too much oil and water. Secondly, with the accelerated pace of life, most people want to eat but can't, so there are people who grow bitter vegetables, which not only facilitates most office workers, but also drives some farmers' income, killing two birds with one stone. Also, clean plants must be planted by themselves, and there is no pesticide and the like. So calculate your own account and you will understand that it is worthwhile to sell eight dollars.
This bitter vegetable can be seen everywhere in the countryside, and no one cares. This bitter herb grows very luxuriantly. If only I could eat it. The situation is unexpected. Someone picked it, and I asked what it was for. He said it was delicious, but I haven't eaten it yet.
This bitter vegetable is called "take hemp" on our side, and the price of this dish is quite expensive on our side. I mean, it grows in rural rice fields in the wild, and some are planted in greenhouses, but it is not as expensive as wild ones.
I still remember when I was a child, I would dig this dish in the field as soon as I left school. This dish we want to eat wild is only available around May. After that, there was no wild food in the fields.
The reason why it is so expensive is that with the improvement of living standards, people eat too much fish and meat and have too much fat in their bodies, so they all begin to like bitter herbs, a pure natural and pollution-free green food. Moreover, the efficacy of bitter vegetables is beneficial to people's health.
Bitter vegetables are rich in trace elements, which can supplement many nutrients that our human body needs. These trace elements are very important to our health. Drinking bitter vegetables for a long time can clear away heat and dry dampness, which has a good health care effect on our body. But also rich in protein and other essential nutrients, and can be eaten for a long time.
With the rapid development of social economy, fewer and fewer people grow grain, and fewer and fewer people can grow it. People choose to go out to work because growing grain is worthless. In order to prevent the land and farmland from being barren, people choose to use a lot of agricultural residues and high-chemical substances such as glyphosate and herbicides. The plan is convenient for a while, reducing labor input to obtain timely economic benefits, leading to serious vegetation destruction and even multiple vegetation extinctions. Agricultural residues are permanently reserved for future generations and buried in the land, just like a poison that has to be eaten after chronic suicide. Nowadays, propaganda in rural areas does not use these things as much as possible, such as government guidance and publicity measures. Even subsidizing the use of mechanical weeding, but the effect is not obvious, and the elderly in rural areas say that they cannot do without it.
These things are used too much, what's more, bitter vegetables are expensive and inedible, and medicines are hard to find.
