In this wonderful season, we happily welcome the second solar term of summer – Grain buds. In the fields, the wheat grains are just beginning to ripen, just like the innocent smile of a cardamom girl, with a small but full sweetness; all over the mountains, mountain flowers are blooming wantonly, like a brocade spread, full of the mellow fragrance of early summer. Everything is flourishing, but not reaching its extreme, full but not overflowing, just in line with the perfect wonderful state of life! 

During the Grain buds season, Loquat is the undisputed protagonist. A folk proverb says: "Grain buds loquats are half hillside yellow." The period around the Grain buds is the most mature period for loquats. The loquats eaten at this time are sweet and nutritious, containing various fructose, glucose, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and other ingredients.

In the warm south, loquats have long been deeply integrated into people's daily lives, turning into a bright and indispensable color. The loquat leaves are shaped like a pipa, hence the name, as if they are born with a leisurely temperament of literati and scholars. In the Jiangnan water town with smoky willows, painted bridges, and wind curtains and green curtains, loquats not only outline poetic and picturesque scenery, but also bring wonderful enjoyment to the tip of the tongue. "It is often the day in the south of the Yangtze River when the forest is full of ripe loquats in the mist and rain." The ripe loquat has very delicate flesh. When you take a bite, the sweet juice bursts out instantly as soon as your teeth touch the flesh, filling your mouth with a sweet and long-lasting taste. Not only does it taste intoxicating, but it is also rich in various nutrients needed by the human body. It is a well-deserved "healthy fruit". Every bite is a precious gift from nature this season!

In addition to the popular loquat, bitter herbs are also a unique feature during the Grain buds season. As one of the earliest wild vegetables picked and eaten by the Chinese, bitter herbs were recorded as early as the Book of Zhou as "the bitter herbs bloom on the day of Grain buds", indicating that their history can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. The Book of Songs also left a record of "picking bitter herbs, picking bitter herbs, under Shouyang". Its taste is bitter with a hint of astringency, and the astringency is mixed with a hint of sweetness. It is fresh and refreshing, with a unique, cool, and tender fragrance. The unique taste of eating bitter herbs during Grain buds is exactly the different taste of summer, and it is an important stage that life must go through in the growth process of being about to be full and not yet full, about to be ripe and not yet ripe.

At this time, add the ground Fritillaria cirrhosa powder, stir quickly and evenly, then turn off the heat and serve.
