In the 60s, my family used to eat powdered salt made from horse bubble seeds, and it was really delicious.

Eat this on the head of the hot nest, and it tastes great.

The sweet stalk is as sweet as sugar cane, and you have to spit out the dregs while eating it. The bread stalks are also quite sweet, and they are all delicious snacks. Sorghum stalks, grain stalks, and sugar cane, all of which have eaten the taste of today's snacks are simply not comparable.

It's delicious when it's tender, and it's a little sweet and you can't bite it when you're old. It can also stop bleeding, and when I was injured as a child, I looked for it.

When the fruit is ripe, there are often people selling it on the street, and everyone likes to use it to make wine, saying that men drink it to replenish qi, and women to replenish blood. I remember when I was a child, during the summer vacation, I used to go up to the mountain with my friends to pick fruits to eat, and I was very happy. When I was playing in the countryside, I also picked flowers with my cousin and gave them to my grandmother. After my grandmother passed away, every time I saw a Minoru flower on the side of the road during Qingming, I would pick some and put them in front of her grave. It's a pity that there are more people picking medicine now, and there are fewer flowers. When I was a child, the mountains full of ripe fruits are really my beautiful childhood memories
