Chapter 23 The twenty-second wild vegetable that is not delicious

There are many plants in Maoshan, but most of them don't recognize them. Even if some of them can be named, they are just common names used by local people.As for the scientific names of these plants, or what families they belong to, I don't know. Master Zhiheng, who has the most research on plants in the temple, believes that these plants can be divided into two categories - one is edible and the other is not. In different seasons, Master Zhiheng often got a plate of wild vegetables from nowhere and put them on the dining table. If you eat a lot, you will have some experience.Everyone agrees that edible wild vegetables can also be divided into two categories - one is delicious and the other is not.

Among the many wild vegetables, Master Zhiheng's favorite is a small-leaved wild vegetable, which has narrow leaves and looks pretty in color, but it tastes weird.Except for the precepts, no one else in the temple likes to eat. It's just that those wild vegetables grow very fast, so Master Zhiheng would fry a plate every now and then, and every time they put it in front of everyone, everyone would frown. Master Zhiheng also knows that we don't like to eat, so he often uses the precepts as an example to warn us, he said: "You don't know how to enjoy happiness, you see the precepts eat with great relish every time."

Jiezhi once argued that firstly, the tastes of humans and dogs are different, and they cannot be compared together; secondly, with Jieyan’s character, even if you put a piece of bark in its bowl, it can still eat with relish. . It's just that Master Zhiheng never paid attention to our opinions, and still served a plate every few days, and we could only continue to eat with a frown. I don't know when, Master Zhiheng suddenly reduced the number of unpalatable wild vegetables, and after a while, the wild vegetables disappeared. Everyone was secretly delighted, but they didn't dare to ask, for fear that Master Zhiheng just temporarily forgot to stir-fry wild vegetables. If they asked, they would give Master a reminder instead, and then make more efforts to cook it for us.

After the wild vegetables disappeared for a while, Jie Chen and Jie Ao were walking on the mountain road one day, and saw several elderly female benefactors squatting on the ground, as if they were looking for something. Jie Chen and Jie Ao came forward together, only to find that several benefactors were carrying a small basket in their hands, which turned out to be those unpalatable wild vegetables, and the benefactors were still searching on the ground. Jie Chen asked the benefactors why they picked this kind of wild vegetables, and the benefactor said: "Recently, this kind of wild vegetables is very popular in the city. People in the city say that this kind of wild vegetables are healthy food, with the effect of beautifying and nourishing. Now in the restaurants in the city A small plate of wild vegetables like this can cost tens of dollars."

Back in the temple, Jie An told everyone what he had heard from the donors, and everyone who heard it was too surprised to speak. Thinking about it, it might be like this. Most of the things in this world, if you look at them from different angles, you can find different values, just like the wild vegetables that we used to despise, suddenly become precious in a different place. Perhaps we should also learn from this way to reflect our life value, and find a suitable position for ourselves, so that we can show our true self.
