Artificially planted "wild vegetables" sell well

As the spring rain warms up, the wild vegetables in the flower beds and fields grow more vigorously. During Qingming Festival short holiday, the patter of spring rain disrupted the rhythm of many people going out to dig wild vegetables. However, the reporter saw a lot of neatly placed Chinese toon, Malan head, shepherd's purse and other "wild vegetables" in several supermarkets and farmers' markets in our city yesterday.

In the fresh area of a large supermarket in the city, traditional wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse and Malantou appear in the supermarket one by one after being artificially planted. Chen Lian, a citizen who is shopping in the supermarket, is choosing Malan head: "in the past, you either dug it yourself or went to the farmers' market to try your luck. Now the supermarket also has Malan head for sale, which makes it more convenient."

However, Aunt Zhou, who has tasted artificially planted Malan heads, feels that these neat Malan heads have lost their original "wild" strength. She explained that the appearance of the two kinds of Malan head is different. The wild Malan head is shorter and stronger and the color is a little redder, while the artificially planted Malan head is thinner and taller, but the unique aroma of Malan head is not enough. In the past, Malan had little head, and when it was used for cold dressing or cooking, the whole dish was full of fragrance. Now, even though the whole dish is full of Malan head, the family is still asking what kind of new dish it is.

Toona sinensis with special fragrance has also entered the supermarket in large numbers this year, and the red and purple Toona sinensis tied into handfuls are neatly placed together, which is very eye-catching among the green leafy vegetables, and the price is not low-keyed. Yesterday, the price of Toona sinensis was 34.99 yuan / 500 grams.

"Toona sinensis will be on the market a few days earlier than last year, and compared with breaking through the 50 yuan mark a few years ago, the price this year is not high." The person in charge of the supermarket Zhou Sumeng introduced. "the series of wild vegetables have been selling well since they entered the supermarket, because they are only available in spring. Although the price is a little higher than that of ordinary vegetables, there are still a lot of customers who come specially to buy them."

The smell of Toona sinensis also reminds Aunt Zhou: "A handful of scrambled eggs with Toona sinensis is a common memory of my childhood and my sisters. Now that the days are good, I want my daughter and grandson to taste the taste of our childhood." However, compared with the Toona sinensis eaten now when I was a child, the Toona sinensis on the market now seems to have lost a little interest. (Yu Jiarong)
