Cutting Leeks

Hearing her grandmother's words, Gu Qingming walked over carefully and squatted down. She lowered her head to take a look and even touched it with her slender and fair hand. She asked in confusion, "What's the difference?"

Grandma was speechless. She was now very sure that her granddaughter was an agricultural idiot. It was such an obvious difference, but she actually said that there was no difference.

Grandma said, "The leaves of the rice seedlings are relatively large and thick. Furthermore, they have a furry appearance. The thorns are also thicker. When you hold them in your hands, you will feel that they are rough. You will feel as if you are cutting your skin.

"As for the chives, their leaves are relatively thin and soft, and their stems are thin and white. When you hold them in your hand, they're soft and you won't feel like they're cutting your skin. When we go back later, you can see the difference between them!"
