Natural wild fruit is rich in nutrition, and it does not lose the artificially planted fresh fruit. Some wild fruits can be eaten as fruits and have very good medicinal value. In addition to eating the harvested wild fruits, they can also be sent to the market for cash to pay tuition fees. When picking wild fruits on the mountain, meeting rabbit milk is like seeing a commodity. Children will compete to eat leaves. The withered leaves are crooked, crisp in the mouth and sweeter than melons and fruits.
Rabbit milk often grows in weeds or crevices in barren hills on slopes. It is said that it is a very familiar wild vegetable for people who grew up in rural areas in the 1970s and 1980s. The leaves of rabbit milk are rare, and the flat edges of the leaves are wrinkled. Rural children call it "flat leaves". Flat leaf buds are emerald green, the bottom is thick and the top is spindle-shaped, and the umbrella head is golden yellow. When the flowers are like flowers, they are close to the vulture beak, also known as the "green bone mouth" and the "six bone mouth". The taste of wild vegetables is mostly immature or bitter, and the flat leaves are not only crisp and sweet, but also contain a shallow milk flavor. Although flat leaves are wild vegetables, they are not common. All the children who meet Pingye are vying for it. When you eat, you still say, "Qinggukou, Pingye, you eat flowers and I eat leaves."
There are many hometown dialect names for the flat leaves in rural areas, such as Old Crane Mouth, Brush Tube Grass, Green Bone Mouth and Old Tube Pen. In fact, the scientific name of this green plant is crow onion, and there are several kinds of crow onion in China. Flat leaves are also called wrinkled crows and onions. Although its name contains the word "onion", its taste is sweet rather than sweet. Its young leaves and stems can be eaten raw directly, and can also be used to make jiaozi or scrambled eggs.
Flat-leaved plants are short and have few leaves, but the underground roots are thick and can grow to 30Cm, which is close to the shape of rootless ginseng. Peel off the light brown skin outside, and the root is white fleshy land, which can be dipped in soy sauce. It tastes sweet and fragrant, as sweet as milk. Flat leaves are not only delicious, but also can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling, and clear away heat and fire. In folk customs, it is called "talinum". In autumn, the whole village often goes to the hillside to level the leaves and dig out small earthwork for medical use. Unfortunately, it means that the flat leaf is hard to see now, and it is rare now. Have you ever eaten this wild vegetable?
