When I was a child, my family was relatively poor, and it was almost impossible to buy cookies and the like, so I was most happy to receive a lot of candy for the New Year. On weekdays, after school, we will go to the mountain fields to find some delicious "snacks", and sometimes we will compare with friends who find more. I don't know if you have eaten the following kinds of "snacks".
1. Thorn seedlings
I don't know what the scientific name is, but it is actually a young seedling of wild moon flowers. I only remember when I was a child, I worshipped my ancestors on the Qingming Festival, and I could pick a lot on the mountain. The taste is slightly sweet and astringent, and the moisture is still relatively sufficient. I also picked it at school during my college years, and it is indeed the taste of memories

2. Silk needles
Silk straw needles are small seedlings that have just grown in the spring of silk thatch, and you can draw a large handful during the morning tea season. After peeling it off, it looks like soft cotton thread, and it tastes good to eat.

3. Raspberries
Raspberry, also known as raspberry. We call it "thorn bubble" in our dialect, probably because its branches are full of thorns! When planting seedlings, you can see a lot in the field, the taste is sweet, containing fruit sugar, I believe many friends have eaten.

It looks very similar to a fruit called "snakeberry". When I was a child, I was often warned by adults that this fruit was poisonous. So I haven't tasted it yet, but I've only heard that it has a very faint taste. However, it was later learned that snakeberries are a traditional Chinese medicine, containing a little toxicity, and can be eaten but not in excess.

4. Dates
To be honest, the dates look strange and a little ugly. But the taste is sweet and astringent, and it can be considered delicious in the era of material scarcity! When autumn ripens, bring bamboo poles to fight, and you can pick up a lot on the ground. Of course, friends who can climb trees can go up and pick them directly.
5. Wild hawthorn
As we all know, the main raw material of sugar gourd is hawthorn. However, wild hawthorns are not as big as they are sold, only the size of marbles. When I eat it, it looks red and very cute, but the entrance is so sour that I can't open my eyes.

6. White fruit
White fruit, scientific name ginkgo biloba fruit. Because the ginkgo tree is male and female, it is not easy to meet a tree full of fruit.

Generally, it is picked and fried into dried fruits to eat. Peeled off while hot, the inside is turquoise flesh, full of aroma, remove the bitter core inside and eat it.
It is necessary to remind everyone that white fruit can also be used in medicine, and it is poisonous and cannot be eaten.
7. Golden Cherry Blossoms
Golden cherry blossoms have a thorny surface, and when ripe in autumn, they are reddish brown and have a very sweet taste, so they are generally called "sugar pots" in their hometowns. When we were young, we used to pick it as candy to eat, and I heard that it was very suitable for brewing wine, but we have not yet tried it.

8. Mulberry
There is a big mulberry tree in front of the neighbors in my hometown. When the trees are full of mulberries, we will carry a ladder to climb up, sit on the trunk of the tree and eat a mouth full of purple, as if poisoned. Although you can see boxes full of mulberries in fruit shops today, they don't have the same taste as before.
