Feast of Wild Herbs
Shoebutton Ardisia
I see two stems of shoebutton ardisia here.
I wonder why no one picked them.
It's too sour.
These are tender and thick.
Uncle, I'm going this way.
It has better tracks here.
Go ahead. Be careful.
I will.
Small-leaf Coriander
It smells so good.
Spider Tree Leaves
It smells so good.
Large-leaf Coriander
Cast-iron Plant Leaves
Loquat Leaves
There're a lot up there.
The fruit hasn't fully grown yet.
Wow, you guys are waiting for me?
Penjie, what took you so long?
We thought you were lost.
Penjie, come and try the shoebutton ardisia.
You guys even brought smashed chili with you?
Come on. Join us.
The sour smell alone makes my teeth sore.
The more you eat sour food, the hungrier you will feel.
Wow, it's delicious mixed with the spice powder.
Shoebutton Ardisia Salad
I'll take it to grandpa and his friends.
Grandpa, I got you guys some shoebutton ardisia salad.
I'll leave it here.
Grandpa, remember to bring the bowl back.
Penji, it's sour and spicy.
Uh-huh.
It's good. I love the taste.
Grandma, trees on the mountain
burst into leaves after the rain.
Yes.
We'll have lots of rain this year.
Yes.
The more rain, the more leaves.
Look at these wild herbs.
I'll hurry up and trim them all, or they will be shriveled up.
The weather is so hot that they will get old fast.
I'll cook now.
Ask auntie to dinner tonight, grandma.
Okay.
Remember to call her, don't forget.
Sure.

Blanch it first.

I'll peel some broad beans, too.

Yes? You should wear a hat.
They're sweet.
Do you want some?
Hell, no. No?
You want nothing but meat, huh?
Granny.
Hey.
Penji.
Hello.
We cut some hemp palm buds.
Here's some for you.
You didn't cut a lot. It's okay.
We have plenty.
You don't have to.
You cut some hemp palm buds?
That's so generous.
We saved enough for ourselves.
Oh.
So just take it. So you guys picked a lot.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
These buds are tender.
Hemp Palm Buds
Dawang.
Don't play with the shells.
I'll feed the cows with them in a while.
Boil down Mimeng flower to get yellow juice
I'll add some brown sugar.
It's melted.

Mmm, it smells so good.
Glutinous Rice Flour, Mimeng Flower and Brown Sugar Water
Glutinous Rice Flour, Water
Grease with some lard to prevent sticking
I should've put in more Mimeng flower to boil down the juice.
The color would get yellower.
There's still room in the food steamer.
But it's okay.
The loaches are still alive.
Oops.
Uncle Ping is not at home
or I could've asked him to help me do this.
Mimeng Flower Glutinous Rice Cake
Fennel Glutinous Rice Cake
Apenjie, I'm going to school.
You won't have dinner before you go?
No.
At least have a glutinous rice cake.
It's got mince stuffing.
I'll pack a few more for you.
You can share with your classmates.
Okay.
Be careful on the way.
Got it.
Today we are going to have a feast.
It's a pity you can't have dinner at home.
It's okay.
Be careful on the way.
Okay.
The climbing wattle has a stinky odor.
They're from the hens my grandma keeps.
Look at the different color of these eggs.

Set the table. We're coming.
Auntie, come on.
Let's eat.
Dinner time!
It's hot, grandma.
Okay.
Keke, what do you want to eat?
Have some glutenous rice cakes.
Keke, good girl.
I'll open a barbecue wrap so you can try some.
This barbecue wrapped in leaves is delicious.
Barbecue Short-necked Clams Wrapped in Leaves
Come on, guys.
Eat while they're still warm.
Grandpa, try one.
Don't suck it. You will choke on the chill powder in it.
Try it.
Uh-huh.
It's soft and sticky.
Come and have some pork brains.
Barbecue Pork Brains Wrapped in Leaves
You can tell it's delicious from its look.
Wrap the pork belly with a leaf.
These leaves have wormholes.
It's okay.
You're a big worm who eats the little ones.
Taste it.
Can you chew it?
It's delicious and smells good, too.
The leaves are crisp.
Try it.
Wow!
Look at the pleasant green, and it's delicious, too.
I love it.
I know, right?
It has a light faint aroma.
Auntie. Can you tell what the smell of this glutenous rice cake is?
It has a palm leaf fragrance.
Come on, uncle Ping.
The loaches had been jumping all night last night.
They might jump out,
so I covered the bucket with a lid.
The leaves are edible.
Yeah.
The leaves are edible.
Okay.
Hey, try the hemp palm bud.
It's really good.
Tomorrow we will have the leftovers, Grandma.
Sure.
How about another glutinous rice cake, grandpa?
Would you like some soup?
Eat as much as you can.
Grandpa, how do you like the wild herbs?
They're delicious.
I tried them all.
Keke, take your time.
Aunt Penji found so many wild herbs from the mountain!
Take your time to enjoy.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Dianxi Xiaoge.
Thank you for watching my video.
It's spring in Yunnan now.
We have a saying in Yunnan:
"Everything that moves is meats, and everything green makes vegetables."
In this video, I went up the mountain to pick a lot of wild herbs that we don't even know their names.
Maybe it's hard for you to imagine the taste of these wild herbs.
But I hope one day
you guys can come to Yunnan to see and try them yourselves!
Thank you for subscribing to my channel.
I'm also looking forward to your comments on this video!
Bye-Bye!
