Yuqianer is also called the elm pod, which is the seed of the elm tree, because it resembles the money stringed together in ancient times, hence the name Yuqianer. The newly born elm money is crisp, sweet, soft, fragrant and refreshing, and because it is a homophony of "remaining money", the villagers planted elm trees in front of the house and behind the house, which also meant to ask for cheer. "
These elm money, wild and natural, are now occupied and developed in rural areas. This thing is hard to find!
