A little boiled rice, or millet, with a few vegetables, commonly the Pe-tsai, and onions fried in oil, constituted their principal meals, of which they made only two regular ones in the day, one about ten o'clock in the morning, and the other at four or five in the afternoon.

We observed also a species of Chenopodium and of Artemisia or wormwood; abundance of the Pe-tsai, and other common culinary vegetables.

The Pe-Tsai, like the Pak-Chöi, is an annual plant, originally from China.

Petsai, or, as the Chinese have it, Pe-tsai, is a substitute for the cabbage.
