My hometown is Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. There are countless historical sites and delicious food there, but what I remember most is the dripping chrysanthemum brain in my hometown.

The leaves of chrysanthemum brain are very small and tender, the largest is only the size of a baby's palm, and the delicate stems connect them together. Pick off a piece with your hands and put it in the palm of your hand. The edges are like jagged edges, dripping with water, and extremely cute. Chrysanthemum brains are very easy to grow. Grandpa’s chrysanthemum brains only need watering to grow. Clumps and clusters, like green waves, exude a faint fragrance when the wind blows.

Speaking of the origin of chrysanthemum brain, hey, it’s really interesting: General Yue Fei led his soldiers to fight against the Jin soldiers in the scorching summer. When they reached a certain mountain in Nanjing, they ran out of food and grass, so they went looking for something edible. After eating wild vegetables, I finally found a plant with chrysanthemum-like leaves that could be eaten, and I felt refreshed and relieved from the heat after eating it. Since then, chrysanthemum brains have been passed down to this day and have become a wild vegetable that is very popular among Nanjing people. And because it needs to be sprinkled with water when sold, many Nanjing people call it "Chrysanthemum Waterlogging".

When a few pieces of chrysanthemum brain float on the soup, the soup will immediately turn green; add a handful when stir-frying, and the dishes will immediately become fragrant; add a little when salad, it will Make you salivate...

Chrysanthemum brain, I love your fresh taste that makes me have endless aftertaste, I love your green color, you are the hometown that will remain in my heart forever. The thickest stroke.
