In rural areas, farmers are used to eating their own vegetables, and they hardly need to spend money on food, just need to buy some meat, so the living expenses in rural areas will be much smaller than in cities. With the progress of society, as long as people are diligent enough, there is no such thing as starvation.
Every summer, people living in rural areas will grow some spinach, cucumbers and tomatoes in their own small vegetable gardens. When they are mature, people living in rural areas will give their neighbors food that they can't eat at home. After all, these vegetables can't be eaten by a family. In winter, farmers will grow some broccoli, lettuce, cabbage and so on. Today, I want to tell you a special dish. The fruit on the ground can be eaten, and so can the leaves on it. The fruit below it is called "sweet potato" and the leaves are called "sweet potato leaves".
Sweet potato leaves are very common in rural areas. When the sweet potato is ripe, pieces of sweet potato leaves grow particularly luxuriantly. Occasionally, you can pick some for cooking, but farmers can choose many vegetables, so farmers often feed them to sheep so that they can grow strong. However, it is these dishes that farmers don't like to eat, but they are widely praised in the city. Many restaurants or families treat it as a dish and can entertain guests on a big table. There are also many families who like to make sweet potato leaves into vegetable boxes and add a little garlic juice. That taste is just right, especially in the season when sweet potato leaves are ripe. It is a common practice to make sweet potato leaf vegetable boxes in our hometown.
This popular sweet potato leaf has high nutritional value and is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other nutrients. It can improve human immunity, protect eyesight, lower blood sugar, detoxify and delay aging. Eating sweet potato leaves often helps to beautify, smooth skin and prevent constipation. Therefore, sweet potato leaves used to be a heat wave. Sweet potato leaves are very popular in Hong Kong, Japan, Europe and America, and have become a tall vegetable.
Sweet potato leaves are delicious. They are healthy vegetables. In the countryside, it is also a toy for rural children. Girls will use it as earrings and necklaces. Using the film outside the stem of sweet potato leaves, they will tear it into pieces and hang it on their ears, which is a string of ear chains, and then make a long circle to make a necklace. I used to play like this when I was young. Have you ever played like this?
