Lettuce is a more common vegetable in this season, because it is the season of ripe marketing, and discount promotions can often be seen in many supermarkets and vegetable markets. Most people will not be vague about buying, and directly buy it by bundle to go home.
In fact, there is a vegetable that looks very much like lettuce and is often mistaken for lettuce. It is also mature and marketed at this time, but fresh is very rare in the market, and only the place of origin may be sold. After drying it, it is very much like a bean carob, and its value has increased by 40 times, and it will sell for 80 yuan a kilogram. It is estimated that many people have not seen it, but they have definitely eaten it, and this vegetable is a well-known "tribute dish" in China.

Tribute dish, just from this name can be seen, it is not a small thing, could it be that in ancient times it was a tribute to the imperial court? In fact, this is really the case, because in ancient times it was a local specialty vegetable specially paid tribute to the imperial court, so it was named tribute dish.
However, today, tribute dishes are also affordable dishes for ordinary people, because many hot pot restaurants and Japanese restaurants have it. If you don't remember, you should eat a crunchy pickle when eating hot pot, and it is a tribute dish.
Many people see tribute vegetables growing in the field and think it is lettuce. There's nothing wrong with saying that, but it's different from the lettuce we usually eat. Lettuce is a one- and two-year herb of the genus Lettuce in the family Asteraceae, and is generally eaten on its stems. And tribute vegetables are also a kind of lettuce, but compared with lettuce, it grows smaller, longer in length, and the taste is more crisp and refreshing, so the wise ancients will dry it as a dried dish to eat, the taste is better.
Therefore, in summary, lettuce is a huge family, of which the varieties that eat stems are generally collectively referred to as lettuce, and the one used to make tribute dishes is just a variety of lettuce. In addition, it is also related to the lettuce that many people like to eat now, because the lettuce is a leaf with lettuce.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > the prospects for the cultivation of tribute vegetables</h1>
After entering April, the tribute vegetables will begin to usher in a bumper harvest. However, because tribute dishes are generally dried and sold as dry products, the price is generally sold to thirty or forty yuan a catty, and according to the different quality, some also need sixty or seventy yuan a catty. That is, it costs more than 100 yuan a kilogram, and it is also very popular.
However, fresh tribute dishes are not valuable, and the purchase price in the place of origin is about one dollar a pound, and in some places it is even as low as the purchase price of a few cents a pound. According to the output of more than 5,000 jin per mu of tribute vegetables, the purchase price of one dollar and one catty, the output value of mu is only about 5,000 yuan.
However, if you peel it, cut it into thin strips, and then after it becomes dry in the wind and sun, it looks like a bean carob is unremarkable, but the price is 40 times higher. Even in the place of production, the general purchase price is more than 20 yuan a catty, and the output value of one mu of land is more than 10,000 yuan. Compared with selling fresh tribute vegetables, the income is doubled, so many farmers are reluctant to sell fresh tribute vegetables, and generally make it into dry products to sell. This is also why fresh tribute dishes are very rare in the market, except that they can be bought occasionally in the production area.
