My hometown is the Inner Mongolia prairie. When spring came, the grass on the ground was not completely green, the old woman arched out, ate sauerkraut, cabbage and potatoes all winter, and looked at the weeds in the yellow sand all winter. At this time, the green and tender old woman appeared!

In our place, the common wild vegetables are old woman's daughter-in-law, bitter hemp seed and Quma vegetable. In summer, we will pick gray vegetables and salsola as dry food. The most popular thing in spring is the old woman. Digging an old woman should be armed to the teeth, because the days in Inner Mongolia are special. It's windy in spring. It starts to blow in the morning and stops when it gets dark. Sometimes it will shave for days. If you don't cover it in winter, your little face will shine in two or three days, so the women here wear headscarves all year round, and the wind in the south is gentle and peaceful. Pat, just like a stepmother, specially greet your face, fully equipped, carry a basket, take a spatula, dig a basket of woman's back, wash it, dip it in soy sauce, roll pancakes, and you can also blanch it with water and put some sesame oil, vinegar and garlic to eat. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the best vegetables in spring, not as bitter as bitter hemp seeds and distiller's yeast, but a little sweet.

Bitter hemp seeds and koji are also common here. In addition to dipping sauce, people also use them to make dry food with stick noodles. In those years, due to natural disasters, the food supply was insufficient, especially in spring, all the crops that were green and yellow came out, all the saved ones were eaten up, and the new ones had not yet come down. People dug up these wild vegetables and mixed them with less flour to make food cakes. Wild vegetables contributed a lot to this difficult period. Summer is the world of salsola and grey vegetables. These wild vegetables grow in the river ditch and on the edge of the ground. People are doing farm work. Take a bag at intervals, also boiled, cold, or dry food. It is also very useful to take it back to feed pigs. Pigs like to eat this. When my family feeds it, it is also mixed with stick flour to feed pigs.
