1, five-finger peach. For Cantonese, when it comes to the ingredients of soup, five-finger peach should be the most well-known one. It is precisely because of many Cantonese people's preference for five-finger peaches that many foreigners living and working in Guangdong have also been circled by it. Five-finger peach, also known as five-finger milk, or five-finger fig, five-finger golden dragon and so on. The scientific name is banyan, which is a favorite ingredient of soup in Guangdong, and also has the reputation of "Guangdong ginseng" among the people. However, it should be noted that not all the leaves of the five-finger peach are five-pronged, some are three-pronged and some are seven-pronged. It's just that five fingers are more common. Generally, the more bifurcated leaves, the higher the value. Like seven fingers, it is more popular and valuable than five fingers. However, it should be noted that this plant, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, likes to grow with a poisonous plant, which is the famous Lysimachia christinae. Their roots are often intertwined and very similar. If you find Lysimachia christinae, don't dig the five-fingered peaches around you, so as not to mix them, which is tragic.

2, burdock. This is also a wild plant with a long edible history in China, but many people have seen it in many places, but they don't know that it can be eaten. Burdock is often called evil fruit, sticky grass, black radish and so on. In fact, some places commonly known as Japanese radish and Japanese ginseng refer to burdock. The overground part of this plant is very common, especially its prickly fruit looks annoying, so many people ignore it. In fact, burdock eats underground roots. Because of its high nutritional value, it is also called "the king of vegetables". Although there are many wild burdock in mountainous areas, it is widely planted in Guangdong, Guizhou and Fujian, and mainly exported to Japan. Because in Japan, it is a very popular home-cooked dish, just like the radish that China people like to eat. The rhizome of burdock looks like yam, but it eats more than yam. Can be used to make soup, cut into pieces, steamed and boiled, and can also be used to stir-fry and cold salad. However, it should be noted that the skin of burdock is inedible, so it must be washed and peeled before cooking.

3, chicken stalks. Don't be disgusted by its name. Although its vines do taste of chicken excrement, this plant is very popular in Guangdong and Guangxi. You can eat it from leaves to roots. Chicken manure vine is also called stinky fart vine, stinky vine and ventilated vine. In the "Outline", it is recorded as "rubbing its leaves and smelling it stinks." I don't know its name, so people call it stinky vine, which shows that it really stinks. However, if it is made delicious, once cooked, it is not only not fragrant, but also very fragrant. For example, Guangxi people like to cook herbal tea with its vines, which can detoxify, relieve summer heat and eliminate dampness. Moreover, chicken manure can also be used to make soup, whether it is sparerib soup, pig's foot soup, hen soup, pigeon soup and so on. Putting a handful of chicken manure in it can enhance the fragrance and get rid of greasy. The key is that it tastes nourishing.
