The "folded ear root" that Xiao Mi mentioned is called "pigweed" here, and almost everyone loves to eat it. After this busy period, almost every household is looking for it in the mountains and fields.
Xiao Mi just realized now that last year, her family also ate it often. However, at that time, neither she nor Tie Dan sat at the table, so they didn't notice.
Xiao Mi also likes it very much. Of course, Tie Dan couldn't quite accept it yet, but he's too young, and Xiao Mi understands.
The first time Xiao Mi saw the place where Ni Er and Tie Dan were digging for pigweed was the spot where Er Niang, Jiang Hu, had tidied up during the New Year. Many wild chrysanthemums grew there, and then they also watered it with manure.
But that was two or three months ago. Now, Xiao Mi has given up catching yellow eels and instead accompanies her second sister to dig for the folded ear root. If there's more than they can eat, they sell it to the restaurant.
