The beautiful passage describing digging wild vegetables is as follows:
1. Among these wild vegetables, the ones that appear earliest and last the longest are the white and tender small root vegetables. In late March, while other wild vegetables were still sleeping soundly underground, the little root vegetable was the first to open its hazy sleepy eyes, quietly sticking its head out to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this early spring.
2. "Cat ears", as the name suggests, each leaf is shaped like an oval kitten's ear. The green vegetable leaves are layered on top of each other, forming a wild vegetable shape. Some of the "cat ears" are big and some are small. Most of the big ones have more than a dozen yellow millet-like grains blooming on them, which are very beautiful. Small ones, not blooming, but very tender.
3. The small root vegetables are so tender, soft and weak, some are light red, some are green, some are one strand, and some are a handful. Gently insert the shovel, shake it, and lift it. Dig out a stick or a handful of fat, white root vegetables.
4. Although the stems and leaves of small root vegetables are very weak, the roots are very large. The roots are white and round. The big ones are like small garlic heads, and the small ones are only as big as soybeans. The newly grown stems and leaves are bright red, then bright green, and finally dark green.
5. I held the scissors carefully in my right hand, gently grasped its leaves with my left hand, inserted the scissors into the root and cut gently, and a shepherd's purse was cut intact. Because I already knew shepherd's purse, I found many more: one plant, two plants, three plants... Looking at the full bags, my fatigue disappeared.
