SPecial Dedication
We were very lucky to meet some of the Grass Mother and Grass Father in person. Besides having the chance to interview them, we also took their classes. During the lessons, we experienced the life of a farmer. In our first class, we learnt how to prepared the land for farming. Later on, we harvested the vegetables we've planted and made them into pickles and snacks.
Here we want to dedicate this page to the Grass fathers and Grass Mothers who had help us with this project. They've taught us so much during these days.

Aunt Yang is a great cook. It is as if her hands are magical, because she always knows the secret to great taste. With her creativity, she came up with many special recipes. For example, she taught us how to turn white radish's leaves into pickles. After that, she showed us how to make bao-zhi with the pickle we've made. We all love her food so much. Aunt Yang is definitely a great teacher. Under her instructions we learnt to appreciate the taste of organic food. |
