A handful of vegetables - chrysanthemum brain
In Nanjing in April, the sun is covered with green shade and the city is filled with beauty. I was on a business trip to Nanjing many years ago. In my spare time, a friend invited me to get together. Before the meal, I had a cup of Mingqian tea, which was sweet and refreshing. At the end of the meal, the soup was served. Young leaves were suspended in the white porcelain bowl. The soup was green in color and had a strong chrysanthemum fragrance in the mouth. When I was wondering what was in the bowl, my friend laughed at me because I was ignorant, not knowing that the "chrysanthemum brain" in the world is the most common grass and vegetable that is close to the people. It is edible, medicinal and has many wonderful benefits. ?

? Chrysanthemum brain is a close relative of the herbaceous wild chrysanthemum of the Asteraceae family. It is also known as chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum leaf, roadside yellow... It is the most popular food on the dining table of Nanjing people. A common wild vegetable, but rare in northern Jiangsu. Chrysanthemum brain is cold-resistant and heat-resistant. It has perennial roots in the ground and can survive the winter safely. It is resistant to barrenness and drought and has strong vitality. It can grow in bits and pieces in the corners of the house. Since then, I have fallen in love with the wild vegetable chrysanthemum and tried every means to plant it in my garden. I couldn't find them everywhere, but I tried my best to find a few plants. I planted them in the corner of the garden and watched them bloom in spring, flourish in summer, and wither in autumn and winter.

? The chrysanthemum brain has perennial roots, the roots can grow, and the seeds can spread and multiply. In a few years, a large and spicy plant has grown. Every winter and spring, I divide the roots and give them to those who want them. They can be planted in the ground or in pots. Plant such a pot and place it on the windowsill. As long as there is sunlight, soil, fertilizer and water, the chrysanthemum brain can still change from wild to domestic. The chrysanthemum plant can emit a unique aroma, adding a rustic flavor to the room. It is really edible, beautiful, and nourishing for the stomach, eyes, and heart.

? The autumn wind is coming, and the chrysanthemums are yellow. Chrysanthemum brain also has its own autumn. The small yellow flowers on the top of the head are blooming extremely gorgeously, not overly beautiful, but just wanton.

? Chrysanthemum brain is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, fiber and vitamins. It also contains flavonoids and volatile oils, which is cool and refreshing when eaten. Eat the stems and leaves in spring and summer. The young stems and leaves of chrysanthemum brains can be used for stir-frying, cold dressing or making soup, especially the chrysanthemum brain egg soup, which is a good way to prevent heatstroke and relieve heat in summer. Neighbors would often ask for it when they passed by, so they would pick a handful and give it to them. As time went by, Chrysanthemum Brain gradually became known to people, saving me the embarrassment of being unknown and unknown like I was at the beginning. The medicinal value of chrysanthemum brain is also very high. Its leaves and stems are bitter, pungent and cool in nature. They have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, calming the liver and improving eyesight, lowering blood pressure, sedating and sterilizing. A friend told me that in autumn, if you pick the flowers of chrysanthemum brains, dry them and make tea, the brown tea taste is no less than that of Bo Ju and Hang Ju. Privately, I hope that chrysanthemum brains will be planted in patches so that their unique taste can be used to benefit the world.

? Often, we ignore the wild vegetables around us and give up the pursuit of taste, which makes our lives a lot duller. Often, only by being accepted by the public can we serve the public. Chrysanthemum brain, will you be annoyed?
