Thorny dish
Thorny vegetables are one of the most tenacious plants in the world. On the vast plains, they are everywhere, on the roadside, on the edge of the ditch, in the grave circle, the bushes of thorny vegetables bloom with pink velvet flowers.
Whether it is wheat fields or corn, they cannot get rid of the entanglement of thorny vegetables. Its roots are very deep, and it does not work at all to remove the parts of the ground, and in a few days, it will grow again. So, it's also one of the hardest farmland weeds to deal with.
It is precisely because of its tenacity that people love and hate. In the years of burning passion, it is the bodhisattva of pudu sentient beings, and its young stems and young leaves are very good things, and the taste is even better than some vegetables.
In those days when they don't have enough to eat, people are most afraid of winter. As long as you survive the winter, there is hope, from spring to summer to autumn, as long as there are thorny vegetables, you will not starve to death!
It is this life-saving plant, because of its tenacity, that has become the cause of people's hatred. The wheat is not well grown and the corn yield is low, which has a lot to do with the spiny vegetables.
Fast forward to the 1920s. People were surprised to find that the thorn dish was gone. Today's farmland grows the most single plant species, wheat is wheat, corn is corn. This world, once filled with all kinds of plants, only a terrible silence remains...
Thorny vegetables, like the songs of childhood, are far away.
Occasionally seen today, I feel very kind.
