What are the local vegetables and fruits in your hometown?

Speaking of my hometown in Shandong Province, it can be said that Shandong Province is a large agricultural province, so there are countless fruits and vegetables with local characteristics.

A long time ago, everyone knew that the fruits of Shandong were very famous, namely apples from Yantai, pears from Laiyang, and radish skins from Weifang. The red Fuji apples produced in Yantai are the red Fuji introduced from Japan, and after improvement, they are very suitable for the local climate of Yantai, and the red Fuji apples produced are crisp and sweet, and the sales volume in the country are very high.

You may not be very familiar with Laiyang's pears, but if you talk about Laiyang pear juice, you know a lot, because many supermarkets sell it. When it comes to the radish skin in Weifang, everyone may think it is very funny, is a radish skin also distinctive? In fact, the radish skin of Weifang is really very distinctive, it is not like the radish in other places, it is very spicy, and the radish of Weifang is also crisp and sweet, there is no spicy taste, the moisture is very sufficient, many people pass by Weifang by car, whether it is at the railway station or in the service station of the expressway, will not go down to buy a few radishes of Weifang.

<>These are some very historical Shandong characteristic vegetables and fruits, and in recent years and a lot of new cultivation, for example, in the spring, Yantai has launched a big cherry, fruit merchants from all over the country will run to Yantai at this time to purchase, Yantai's big cherry sweet and sour taste is very good, not bad than imported cherries, and even more nutritious.

Every spring in our fruit wholesale market, there are many people who come here to buy in order to send friends, and even SF Express has set up a little bit there, just to facilitate everyone's mailing.

There is also in the beginning of winter, Shandong Binzhou Zhanhua produced winter dates, is also welcomed by the whole country, an authentic winter date is the size of a table tennis ball, sweet like honey, and crunchy taste, so it has always been in short supply.

When it comes to the special vegetables and fruits in my hometown, then I think that many of our countryside are wild, which probably belongs to a kind of characteristic.

I used to like to go to the field or under the trees to pick a wild vegetable that we call "origami roots". I didn't know what the title of this book was, but I knew that we all called it Origen in the local area. At that time, some of my friends around me didn't like the taste, but my family liked it very much, and I thought it was a very magical dish, which could be eaten as a stir-fried dish or as a dipping sauce in a chili pepper.

The main thing is that I think it is very fragrant, when I was a child, every time I saw this wild vegetable on the way home from work, I would stop to pick a handful and eat it home, and I felt that a simple meal often felt much more delicious because of its arrival. Later, after learning more knowledge, I learned that the book name of this wild vegetable is Houttuynia cordata. One time I was at a friend's house of mine, and he also brought out this kind of dish, and he told me that he went to the vegetable market to buy it, and said that I was surprised that I still need to go to the vegetable market to buy everything that we have everywhere.

And because the method is different in each place, my friend's method at that time was to use vinegar to cold Houttuynia cordata, which can be eaten directly, while on our side, you only need to put some hot water to scald it and then put a little chili pepper.

And then we also have a wild fruit that grows on the side of the road. Squeeze it out more like a snot-like existence. Some people may find it disgusting, but in fact, it also has some essential differences, just a little similar, and it still tastes very sweet.

Its appearance is relatively crystal clear when it is ripe, and it is green before it is ripe, and generally there will be many, many on one branch, like grapes. I still don't know what the name of this wild fruit is.

When it comes to more distinctive vegetables, I think of a kind of red-footed kale, which is a specialty of my family. It is a very delicious vegetable, this red-footed kale gets its name from its appearance, it is different from other varieties of kale, it is a kind of red at the root foot, a bit similar to purplish-red.

In fact, there are still many varieties of kale, and it can be grown in many places, but according to the older generation and some people who are growing red-footed kale, red-footed kale seems to have a characteristic, that is, it can only be planted in some areas of my house, and if it is planted in other places, although it can also grow, it can't show a natural red color like the red-footed kale grown in my house, and there will be a difference in taste.

I've heard this claim all the time, but it's not clear whether it's true or not. But I remember a few years ago, when I went out to a relative's house in another place, once, when I went to the vegetable market with my relatives to buy vegetables, I saw a completely different red-footed kale from the one grown at home, and I didn't recognize it as kale at the time. The kind of red-footed kale grown in other places is indeed red at the roots, but the red is a little excessive, like dyed, and it looks awkward.

Out of curiosity, we also bought some to fry at home, we can only say that the taste is also very different, well, in general, it is the four different clothes in the coat of red-footed kale, how weird it is to eat.

To be honest, I still prefer the red-footed kale grown at home. The cooking method of red-footed kale is also particular, you need to use lard to fry over high heat, after frying, it will be in a green state, and it will taste crispy, sweet and soft, and the red-footed kale fried with cooking oil will greatly reduce the taste, so in order to fry kale, some lard will generally be prepared at home.

The sales of red-footed kale are still very good, just like my family, there are a lot of portions sent to relatives in other places every year, and sometimes when kale grows well, it is cheaper, and there are more to buy.

Cucumbers, watermelons, pears (that's what my hometown is called), cabbage, beans, eggplant, lettuce... There are too many for me to count.

All the products sold in the market are from the countryside.

Mango. The area is 1.46 million mu, and the output of the limb tribe is 680,000 tons, and the main production areas are Baise and Qinzhou, and the area and output rank first in the country. There are not many places in the country that can produce mangoes, and the Youjiang River Valley in Guangxi has been developed due to the microclimate of the dry and hot valley.

Shandong Zhanhua is the hometown of winter jujube in China, and many other places are introduced from Zhanhua. The winter jujube of Zhanhua, Shandong Province is the most famous, because it is the birthplace of the winter jujube variety of the slag. The taste of our winter jujube is also very crisp and sweet, without that kind of feeling, it is really delicious.

Pitaya. With an area of 230,000 mu and an output of 190,000 tons, the main production areas are Nanning and Baise Split, which currently ranks first in the country, and is one of the fastest growing varieties in recent years, with a net increase of 200,000 mu in five years.

Citrus, with an area of 6.87 million tons per 10,000 mu, ranks first in the country in terms of surface beam slippage and output. It is distributed in all slag bucket cities in the whole region. The most distinctive ones are the sand sugar oranges and mandarin oranges.

Feicheng peach is also known as fat peach, Buddha peach, big peach, one of China's famous fruits, its fruit is hypertrophied, beautiful in appearance, blind in hand, delicate flesh, juicy and sweet, rich in nutrition, known as "the talk of the group of peaches".

Huaning, a small city as its name suggests, is gorgeous and tranquil, Huaning has a citrus festival every year, where do they grow citrus big, juicy and sweet and sell well, most of the citrus are sold to other places, very tight and smooth.

Needless to say, Penglai's apples are lacking in orange lumps, and many fruit harvesters know that apples are of high quality, not crisp, but very sweet, and the moisture will be less, and the taste is very good, and there is no sourness at all!

Huangpao is a common wild fruit in Yunnan, and it is more common to debate hail in the ancient town of Da Mo and Maofan, and its sweet nutritional value is higher than that of the manuscript, and it is said that it is also anti-cancer.

Dazeshan grapes are small, high in sugar, late in ripening, leakage and long time in the state, and the fragrance of the lips and teeth is often missed, and the time is almost there, so I go to pick more than a dozen boxes every year.
