Huangxian dialect short paragraphs
Lantern dish
Every year in March and April, it is time to shave the lanterns.
The lantern dish is very "cunning" and hides in a wheat field. In the spring, the wheat seedlings returned to green, and it also grew rapidly, one by one every day. When the wheat is jointed, it also gets up, and it grows forked flowers, and purple flowers bloom, dotted in the green wheat field, which looks a little enchanting from a distance.
When it comes to harvesting the wheat, you can often see the yellow lantern vegetable tree mixed in the wheat bale, its capsule has matured, and the seeds are unconsciously sown into the field. When the winter wheat is sown in the autumn, its seeds also germinate together, and then lie dormantly waiting for the following spring. Its cycle of life is perfectly in tune with the wheat, dancing with the wheat, so that people can't help it.
What is the scientific name of the lantern dish? unknown. I think that since this house is mixed with wheat all day, how can there be a "wheat" word in the name, follow this line of thought to check it, and sure enough, I found it, the scientific name of wheat bottle grass, caryocarp family fly grass plant, annual herb, high to the knee, the whole plant is covered with short glandular hair, slightly mucus, touch it with your hand, it feels a little sticky. The basal leaves are spoon-shaped, and the stem-grown leaves are oblong or lanceolate, with a pronounced midrib. The inflorescence has several flowers, the petals are lilac-red, the calyx is conical, green, and the longitudinal veins are 30, and the veins are covered with short glandular hairs, which looks like a small green lantern, which is also the origin of the name of the lantern dish (Huangxian dialect is also called "wheat lantern").
The shape of the capsule is peculiar, the upper end is sharp and shrunken, the lower section is round, like the ancient kind of round belly and fine mouth of the bottle, inside is the white seed smaller than the small grain of rice, unripe is edible, is the gift of children, so it is also called "rice pot". Grown in a wheat field, the shape of the fruit is reminiscent of the pure bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and this is how the name of the wheat bottle grass comes from.
Qing Wu Qitao's "Botanical Names and Facts Tu Kao" Volume 27 "Qunfang Class" directly called it a "net bottle": "a net bottle, a thin stem and long leaves like caryophyllus; a five-petal pink purple flower like a yang changchun; and a flower like a vial is very long, hence the name." "Before modern plant taxonomy was introduced to China, Wu associated lantern vegetables with caryophyllus, which was still very cattle.
The external form of lantern vegetables is very far from the wheat of the grass family, but when it was first born, the leaves were long and green like wheat, and it was really difficult to distinguish them without careful distinction. It is more conspicuous when it blooms, but by this time the wheat has been jointed, and it is easy not to let people in the wheat field. When the wheat is harvested, its seeds also ripen. Therefore, lantern vegetables are a common weed that grows in wheat fields, and it is also the most harmful and difficult to remove.
Every spring, children take a small shovel and turn the basket to cut rabbit dishes, and the convention is to go to the wheat field to shave, not to kill two birds with one stone, to eliminate the lantern vegetables before they bloom and bear fruit, which is also the wisdom of farmers.
The lantern dish that comes home is old to feed the rabbit, the tender one is picked out, you can sprinkle some flour and steam it to eat, you can fry it, you can wrap the buns, and the following strips can also be put inside to make a green head. The most common way to eat is to use boiling water, then soaked in cool water, hoop into vegetable eggs, and dip some garlic paste to eat. Lantern dishes taste much better than ordinary wild vegetables, and they are very smooth to eat, like eating noodles, so they are also called "noodle dishes". Huangxian dialect calls it "big halogen noodles" - the noodles are even more slippery when they are added to the noodles.
Lantern children's vegetables are used with whole herbs, which have the effect of moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and can cure fatigue cough, epistaxis, vomiting blood and other symptoms.
According to another study, lantern vegetables have a relatively complete nutritional content, containing a variety of essential nutrients, and their crude fiber content is higher than that of traditional wild vegetables, and the crude protein is slightly lower than that of cabbage. Crude fiber is called the seventh nutrient by modern nutritionists, and more intake of crude fiber can help prevent arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and reduce the chance of bowel cancer.
Lantern vegetables are also rich in vitamins and carotene, and their vitamin C content is close to that of dandelions, which is higher than spinach and carrots. In addition, the content of amino acids and mineral elements is also higher than that of common wild and cultivated vegetables.
In recent years, wild lantern vegetables have become inaccessible in the fields due to the use of wheat field herbicides. If this is the case, why can't we consider artificially growing lantern dishes? It not only increases the income of farmers, but also enriches people's tables, which is a win-win move.
