This year, Yangmei is fully managed, regardless of whether you are doing well in the Yangtze River Delta and have diarrhea
The villager posted on WeChat circle, "The late rice and yangmei are ripe, and this year is a big year, with full management", and accompanied by pictures. The yangmei seeds are purple black, very tempting. Suddenly, a sweet and sour taste spread freely on my tongue, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. The late rice Yangmei from my hometown Zhoushan is black, sweet and glutinous, juicy, slightly fragrant, and easy to separate from the kernel. It is one of the four major varieties of Yangmei in Zhejiang Province. Because its maturity period is slightly later than that of ordinary Yangmei, it was also known as the late rice Yangmei when it was red in the past. When I was young, there were not many types of fruits on the island, and yangmei could be considered the main fruit. Around mid June every year, yangmei stalls were set up in the vegetable market and on the roadside. There were often vendors carrying burdens or pushing carts to sell yangmei, and they even emphasized that it was late rice yangmei. Yangmei is on the market, and every household eats it when visiting, chatting, watching TV, and enjoying the cool at night... Every bite, the tip of the tongue first touches the soft and smooth "thorns", and the upper jaw slightly presses, leaving ample juice nowhere to hide. Occasionally, it overflows from the corner of the mouth, leaving a touch of plum red. The mouth is filled with sweetness, but instead it exudes a slightly sour taste, which is just right. It can be said that "everyone's mouth is sweet like honey, and it's better to know that there is a slight sourness in the strange parts.". Throughout history, there has been a saying among the people in Zhoushan that "Yangmei can cure all kinds of diseases.". The mature season of late rice and yangmei is the beginning of summer. In the summer of Jiangnan, it is humid and hot, and many people feel lethargic and have a loss of appetite, known as "blocking summer". People have found that eating fresh yangmei, which is sour, sweet, and delicious, can quench thirst, relieve heat, refresh the mind, and stimulate the appetite. Everyone agrees that such good fruits should be eaten more. After snacking so many bayberries, I thought they were commonplace and everywhere. If anyone said they didn't know the taste of bayberries, I wouldn't believe it no matter what. Until the late 1990s, my younger brother went to a university in Sichuan and talked about his girlfriend from Sichuan. One time, he went home from vacation and told us that there were no yangmei trees in Sichuan, and his girlfriend had never eaten a single yangmei tree since childhood. I am very surprised. There are so many slopes and fields in Sichuan, why not plant some waxberry trees? I said to myself, but little did I know that planting fruit trees is subject to conditions such as climate and soil. My younger brother was thinking about how to make his girlfriend eat yangmei. Fresh waxberries are tender and easy to water out, making storage and transportation particularly difficult. Not to mention more than 20 years ago, even now, every waxberry sent far away has to withstand multiple tests such as courier protection, delivery time, and even picking experience. So, at that time, if you wanted to eat fresh fruits, except for the Yangmei season when people came over in person, everything else was whimsical. After the holiday, my younger brother brought a few bottles of canned yangmei back to Sichuan. It is said that my girlfriend was overjoyed and could be considered to have eaten yangmei. Yangmei has reached its mature stage, and on the hillside, the continuous Yangmei trees are lush and verdant, dotted with red and purple hues, shining brightly in the sunlight. "The green leaves are clear and flowing, and the red fruits are shiny and purple," making people intoxicated. However, such a scenario cannot last long. Once the yangmei is ripe, it needs to be picked as soon as possible. If not picked, it will rot quickly. If not picked early, it will also rot. After all, fresh sales in the local market are limited, an
