#Authentic Scenery in China# Introduction: 6 kinds of "unique" vegetables in the south, many northerners don't know one. How many kinds have you eaten? I have a college classmate who has been on business these days and comes to see me by the way. After all, I haven’t seen each ot

So he accompanied me to visit the vegetable market at the doorstep, and here he told me that I really saw the world. Many vegetables were not found in their hometown, and I had never seen or eaten them.

. I guess many northerners don’t know any of the six "unique" vegetables in the south. How many have you eaten? Let’s take a look together!

The first type: cabbage

When my classmate saw it for the first time, he thought it was a kind of cabbage . The freshly prepared dishes sold on the market really look very similar to the little cabbage.

Cai is very common in the south. Basically, you can eat it in three other seasons except summer. cabbage is a variant of mustard green . Among them, mustard green is a type that uses rapeseed , also known as "mustard vegetarian". The seeds are ground into powder and the oil is mustard oil .

, while cucumber is a variant of mustard green, mainly feeding on leaves. Its leaves have large leaves, thick veins, and many wrinkles on the leaves. This vegetable is easy to plant. It has the characteristics of being cold-resistant, frost-resistant, barren-resistant, and does not pick on land. It does not require any special care after planting. It will grow into a lush and green shortly after planting. Therefore, it is widely planted in southern region .

The second type: konjac

In fact, not only many northerners do not know konjac, but even some southerners may not have seen konjac. When eating hot pot in winter, the konjac tofu made with it is a must-order ingredient for many people. But konjac is rare in vegetable markets, especially in northern regions. It was also the first time my classmate saw a real konjac, which is the kind that has not yet been processed into konjac tofu.

konjac is a plant that likes warm and humid climates. It is suitable for growing in an environment of 20-30℃. The northern region is cold in winter and is not suitable for konjac cultivation. Decades ago, konjac tofu was the most common delicacy that countless southerners ate in autumn and winter, and some people even ate it as "fat meat".

However, konjac is toxic because it is a plant of , of the Nanxing family, so it cannot be eaten directly. Generally, it must be made into konjac tofu after being removed from the poison before it can be eaten. is also rare on the market because of the complex processing process and the northern region does not produce konjac and does not have the habit of eating konjac for a long time.

The third type: winter cold vegetables

is also a very common vegetable in the southern region when it comes to winter vegetable markets. It is also called sunflower , winter amaranth , and so on. This vegetable likes a cool climate, but is not resistant to high temperatures and colds. The suitable growth temperature is 15-20℃. The land in the northern region will freeze in winter, which is not suitable for their growth.

In the south, winter cold dishes are very popular. Whether it is stir-frying, cooking soup, cooking porridge, or hot pot, winter cold dishes are all good. I heard from the older generation that in the past, in winter, I often used winter vegetables to cook porridge, which was very delicious.

Nowadays, in the southern region, only a small number of them have been planted in Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangxi and other provinces. In some places, it has become a kind of wild vegetable, and even fewer people know it in the north.

The fourth type: super lettuce

This is a vegetable native to my country. It is native to Sichuan Basin . Later, it gradually developed into Guizhou, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and other Yangtze River middle and lower reaches and surrounding areas, just because it is suitable for growing in a warm, cool and humid environment.

The reason why it has such a strange name is also related to its characteristics. That is, this plant grows strangely. Every time it grows to a certain stage, it will grow tender buds under the armpits of the leaves and continue to expand. Almost twenty or thirty buds will grow on each plant, which looks like a mother surrounded by multiple children.

Therefore, in some places it is also called 六决 , 六决 未, 六决 , baby cabbage, etc., and its scientific name is 六决 , it is a biennial herb of the genus 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未 未

The fifth type: barbecue

If you treat it as lettuce, you are very wrong. The vegetable is called barbecue. It is a new variety of mustard greens and is also a vegetable that is widely grown in in the southwest part of my country. In fact, it is also a close relative of the mustard introduced earlier, and they are both mustard greens for stems.

Bancai and lettuce taste completely different. The barbecue is a bit bitter, but it tastes good after cooking. This kind of vegetable is generally fried meat or boiled soup, which can also be eaten cold. The method is similar to treating lettuce. You must remove the skin and tendons on the outside, so that the taste will be good.

The sixth type: chard

This is the vegetable that the author has eaten since he was a child. Some people may say that this is not the vegetable used to feed pigs before? That's right, it was used to feed pigs in some places. Because it is cold-resistant, has high yield, can grow in large quantities in winter, and has strong regeneration ability, so when using it to feed pigs, farmers don’t have to go out to get pig grass in the snow.

chard is called beet in my hometown, and in some places it is also called thick chard chard . Its leaves are emerald green and very thick. The stem is white and is also very thick, which is why it is named "Cornet".

In fact, courgette is very nutritious and tastes very delicious. The easiest way to cook it is to blanch it and then eat it cold. It tastes very sweet and delicate in the mouth. It is a very good meal.

is currently in Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangdong. It is still a very popular vegetable in the vegetable market, and many farmers can also grow some.

is written at the back

The author's old classmate is from Liaoning. He said that he had never seen these vegetables in his hometown. Even after he took a photo and posted it on his Moments, many people around him said they didn't know each other and had never eaten them. He also said that the southerners are happy. There are also various vegetables to eat in winter, but there are very few types of vegetables in the north.

In fact, even if you are a genuine southerner, you may not know all of these 6 kinds of vegetables. The reason is that these vegetables are mainly distributed in the south, and the northern regions are not suitable for their growth, so it is not surprising that many people in the north do not recognize them.

Dear friends, how many types do you know? Are there any "great gods" who have eaten them all? Everyone is welcome to comment below!
