Netizens commented on polarization, 5 pieces for 23 yuan! Recently, many people have been buying this "big guy" Feizixiao | lychee | netizen
As the lychee season gradually improves, the prices of "Feizixiao" lychees in many fruit shops in Hangzhou have recently dropped to single digits.
This morning, the weather girl discovered at several fruit and fresh food stores that the price of Feizixiao ranges from 5.8 yuan to 9.8 yuan per kilogram, which is close to the "cabbage price" compared to when it was first launched.
In addition to the commonly seen Feizi Xiao, many orange enthusiasts have recently discovered a "new variety" of lychee on the Hangzhou market: Litchi King.
In terms of body size, the lychee king can be considered a big guy in the lychee world. Just take a look at the reference points of orange friends: lemon, eggs, fists, palms... you can tell how big it is.
Although he is big, the reputation of the lychee king is very polarized.
Orange friend said crookedly, "It seems that this lychee king has been selling very well lately. Children must buy it when they see it.". 35 pounds, weighing 5 pieces, 23 yuan, with one piece costing nearly 5 yuan... I thought the taste should be very good, but I was really disappointed when I ate it. It was really big, and the pit was also very large. The sweetness and lychee aroma were very average.
A netizen on Weibo said, "Lychee King really costs a lot of money, about 4 yuan per piece. To comfort himself, he insisted that it was quite delicious, but in fact, it was a bit sour."
However, some netizens also said, "The lychee king is super delicious! It's especially sweet! There's also a lot of juice! It's a big one and the flesh is full, which is much more delicious than ordinary lychees." "The lychee king is really sweet."
The earliest maturing lychee variety is currently mainly Feizixiao on the market in Hangzhou, and the lychee king from Hainan has also been gradually launched. Is lychee king really delicious? Is it big in size and has a big nucleus? Weather girl helped you try it on.
On the left is the King of Litchi, and on the right is the Princess Xiao
Let's first popularize the concepts of "Fei Zi Xiao" and "Li Zhi Wang":
Fei Zi Xiao has a slightly larger head, mainly alternating red and green, with a pointed and hard outer shell that is easy to identify. Belonging to early maturing varieties, the taste near the core is sour and astringent. At present, the main products on the market in Hangzhou are Fei Zi Xiao produced in Hainan.
Litchi King is an authentic Hainan lychee variety. As one of the outstanding lychees in Haikou Volcano, "Litchi King" has attracted attention since its launch. The biggest feature is that it is extremely large, with a single fruit weighing over 60 grams, the size of an egg. The size of Litchi King is two to three times that of ordinary lychees, making it the "giant" among lychees. Combined with its bright red appearance, it leaves a deep impression.
Price: I asked two fruit shops this morning, and Fei Zixiao's price is 9.8 yuan/jin, while Li Zhi Wang's price is 25 yuan/jin and the other is 23.8 yuan/jin.
It may not be very intuitive to just look at the price. The weather girl asked the boss to weigh a "lychee king", which showed a weight of 1.4 liang and a price of 3.3 yuan.
In terms of taste, the batch of Feizixiao bought today has a very high sweetness, almost no sourness, and a rich lychee flavor;
Relatively speaking, the taste of Litchi King has become much lighter, with less sweetness and aroma than Feizi Xiao. The flesh is not as firm as Feizi Xiao, but it is well hydrated and has a large kernel.
Some netizens also expressed that there are so many varieties of lychee that "it's impossible to distinguish" and "it feels like they are all similar".
At present, there are 7 major lychee production areas in China, namely Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Taiwan. Among them, Guangdong has the largest production of lychees. As the saying goes, "The world looks at China for lychees, and China looks at Guangdong for lychees.".
According to data from the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangdong Province, this year's climate and temperature are suitable, and the flowering of lychees is good. The lychee maturation rate in the province is over 85%, and it is expected to be a "medium to large year".
Why is Fei Zi Xiao so cheap now? This year, in addition to increasing production of lychee, early maturing varieties are already priced lower than mid to late maturing varieties. The most common type of Feizixiao on the Hangzhou market is an early maturing lychee variety, and it is currently in the peak period of early maturing varieties. Therefore, the price of Feizixiao has naturally decreased significantly compared to when it was first launched.
In a short period of time, the main high-end varieties with higher prices, such as Guiwei, Nuomici, and Xianjinfeng, will be launched one after another. The weather girl inquired and several fruit shop owners in Hangzhou predicted that in about a week, a large number of Guangdong Guiwei lychees would be launched in Hangzhou. Guiwei is famous for its fine core, crispy meat, sweet taste, small core and abundant meat, and unique osmanthus fragrance. However, when it first goes public, the price will not be too low, and it is expected to be around 30 yuan/jin.
In fact, the taste of lychee varies greatly depending on its variety, origin, and orchard management methods.
Have you tried this year's Fei Zi Xiao and Li Zhi Wang? How do you like the taste? Do you plan to taste the Guiwei lychee that will be on the market next? Let's have a chat under the topic of # Weather Sister #.
