What is the scientific name of Yuancai, as people call it in Ningbo?

This should be called "soft cabbage", also known as "Junta cabbage".

Soft vegetables have another name in Ningbo, called "Junta". Speaking of "Jun Ta", there is an interesting legend. It is said that during the Jianyan period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains. In order to escape the Jin soldiers, Kang Wang Zhao Gou was trapped in Ningbo from XX City. Jin Bing followed, and he fled, passing through a vegetable field in Jiangbei, trampling the vegetables beyond recognition. There was a spring rain that night, and the trampled vegetables in the fields had strong vitality and returned to their original appearance the next day, lush and green. Therefore, the people called this vegetable "Junta", which means "vegetables that have been stepped on by kings".

Eating soft vegetables at the beginning of summer means having strong vitality like "Jun Ta", full of vitality all year round, healthy and long life. In addition, soft vegetables are cool in nature and soft when cooked. It is said that eating them at the beginning of summer can keep the skin smooth and free of sores and boils throughout the summer.
