Seven seven buds, what is the saying?
Qiqiya (sound) is a common wild vegetable name, which is distributed in the border area of Sulu, Henan and Anhui. Qiqiya is a perennial herb in Compositae.

It is common in ridges, fields, ditches, wetlands and Shan Ye, and can be found everywhere.

It has different names in different places, such as "Sticky Vegetable", "Seven Seven Buds", "Green Grass", "Bitter Vegetable" and "Sawed Vegetable". Everyone understands according to their own family name.

It can eat and cook when it grows to 10 cm. It is said that people who often eat it rarely have high blood pressure and cancer. According to records, it is warm and non-toxic, not only nutritious, but also

Growth state

And it has obvious and lasting effects of lowering blood pressure, preventing cancer, losing weight, enriching blood and stopping bleeding. I remember when I was a child, my nose was bleeding. I pulled out a seven-seven bud, rubbed it in my hand, and stuffed it into my nostrils, which immediately stopped the bleeding.

The appearance of Qiqi bud is very strange, with purple flowers, and its leaves are covered with serrated spikes, which prick your hands. Don't say that we don't like to eat, even cattle, sheep and other livestock are unwilling to eat. But in the most difficult time, people have to eat. During the famine years, children in rural areas carried a vegetable basket on their arms and a shovel in their hands, and ran all over the barren hills to pluck seven or seven buds. I don't know how many lives have been saved in the small July 7th bud famine year.

People over the age of 50 may have eaten this kind of wild vegetables, and the taste may be difficult to understand. During the Spring Festival, my 82-year-old sister called from Shanghai and said that she would come to Shandong to visit her family in the spring. The person named asked me to make bean curd with seven or seven sprouts for her to eat.

Su Song, a pharmacologist in the Song Dynasty, said: "Cirsium japonicum is everywhere, with its common name (Cirsium japonicum), and its roots are delicious as vegetables." This thistle is called Qiqi bud here. Bean curd made from "Qiqiya", a kind of wild vegetable, is also an endless hobby of the elderly here, and sometimes someone picks it for a fresh display.
