我幼时,母亲曾在一片荒野地里开出一片菜地,在那地里种过一些菜蔬,其中就有藠。藠,读音是“jiao”(叫)——这是我最近才知道的。曾经,母亲就把藠称为“qiao(翘)子”。我估计是对藠音的误读。但是,难以确定,因为藠的别称实在多。比如叫做荞头。可我不喜欢这个叫法,觉得委屈了那么别致的一种植物。它在我心目中就是一种花草,而非菜蔬。在我的评判标准里,花草要比菜蔬雅致。小时候我就模模糊糊觉得它们像是韭菜,又比韭菜美 When I was young, my mother used to plant some vegetable fields in a wilderness where some vegetables were planted.藠, pronunciation is “jiao ” (call) - this is what I only recently learned. Once, the mother called 藠 “qiao (Alice) child.” I guess this is a misunderstanding of 藠 sound. However, it is difficult to determine because there are so many other nicknames. For example, called buckwheat head. But I do not like this name, feel wronged a chic plant. It is in my mind a flower, not a vegetable. In my judgment, flowers are more elegant than vegetables. When I was a child I was vaguely feel that they are like leeks, and leek beauty
