Guangdong is rich in litchi, but in recent years, the popularity of wampee is getting higher and higher. Although some northerners don't know much about Huangpi, the market of Huangpi is getting tighter and tighter.
At first, wampee was not widely planted, because the common wampee had more stones than meat. It was not until the discovery of seedless wampee in the 1990s that the Yunan County Government of Yunfu City, Guangdong Province began to promote planting. The promoted seedless yellow skin comes from a local old house of the Republic of China. What is the origin of this?
Huangpi fruit
Seedless yellow skin was born in an old house in the Republic of China.
In Yunan County, Guangdong Province, there is an old house built during the Republic of China, named "Gan Yuan". The earliest owner of this old house was Zeng Naizhen, who was the county magistrate of Lechang County, Guangdong Province.
1934 After retiring, Zeng Naizhen returned to Yunnan and built this old house here.
I thought I could enjoy family happiness with my family after retirement, but later, because my children were working hard outside and the situation was turbulent, the old man moved to Hong Kong.
1984, the door of Gan Yuan's old house was opened again, because according to the relevant local policies and regulations, Gan Yuan's house and yard were to be returned to Zeng Naizhen, and then Zeng Naizhen's son-in-law and daughter returned here. When the old house was built, it occupied a large area, and there was a garden in it.
"dry garden"
When I lived here, I planted many flowers and trees. Despite years of disrepair, many trees still grow in the shade. After decades, the surviving trees have become more precious.
Mr. Liu Lao, Zeng Naizhen's son-in-law, found two great trees when he was repairing this garden, which was later called the mother of seedless yellow bark.
After decades, both trees have survived, but they don't look so lush.
Liu Lao, the son-in-law, and his daughter agreed to keep these two old trees, because yellow bark trees are quite common in Guangdong. People of the older generation think that yellow skin can ward off evil spirits and prosper the Lord, just like the more common peach trees.

In the first year when Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu moved back, they thought they could eat their own yellow skin in summer, but nothing happened between the two trees.
Mr. Liu is puzzled: is it because the tree is old and does not bear fruit? But after all, the trees are planted by the respected father-in-law, and Mr. Liu does not advocate cutting down these two trees.
The next year, the husband and wife paid more attention to these two old trees and spent more energy on conservation, fertilization and pruning.
These two wampee trees seem to have absorbed the aura and rewarded Mr. Wang. In the summer of the following year, these two wampee trees produced rich fruits, and the golden fruits hung on the treetops, which were particularly dazzling. After tasting the fruits of these two wampee trees, Mr. Liu made a new discovery-this kind of fruit is actually seedless!
Who would have thought that two old trees that have been unknown for decades have cultivated an unprecedented seedless yellow bark, which is the first time in Guangdong and even the whole country.

Two mother trees gave birth to 800 million output value.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu agreed that more people should know about the seedless wampee and enjoy the fruits covered with wampee. So at the second high-quality fruit tasting held in Guangdong Province at that time, Mr. Liu took part in the activity with his seedless yellow skin.
Although wampee is common in Guangdong, seedless wampee is unheard of in Guangdong.
For a time, Liu Lao's seedless yellow skin attracted the attention of many tourists and judges.
Everyone likes seedless wampee, because compared with seedless wampee, seedless wampee has more pulp and better taste. In the end, seedless wampee was awarded the title of "Quality Variety of Guangdong Province", and seedless wampee became famous in Guangdong.

After research and evaluation by Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, it is considered that these two wampee trees have no traces of grafting, but have grown seedless wampee trees in a natural state, perhaps because of gene mutation. Because the grafting success rate of wampee is relatively high, grafting can be carried out when the diameter of rootstock reaches 0.8 cm.
Zeng Naizhen's son-in-law, with Zeng Naizhen's consent, provided the branches of these two mother trees to the agricultural department for grafting promotion research.
Seedless wampee not only has more gravy, stronger taste and higher medicinal value.
1988, Yunan County Rural Work Committee established the first seedless wampee base in the local convenience village, in which the seedling base occupied 10 mu and the production base occupied 25 mu. After several years of development, it has achieved great success.

After the success of the demonstration base, governments at all levels in Yunan County began to support and guide the large-scale planting and popularization of wampee.
In 2003, the wampee here was rated as "China Green Food", and the convenience village in Yunan County began to plant seedless wampee on a large scale, which made Yunan County awarded the title of "Creating a Green Food Demonstration County".
In the following decades, seedless wampee became the main economic income of the villagers in Convenience Village, and the villagers continued to expand the planting area.
According to the director of the Convenience Village Committee, by 2020, the planting area of Huangpi in the whole village has exceeded 1 10,000 mu, and the contiguous planting area is as high as 5,000 mu. More than 800 farmers in the village are surrounded by Huangpi, and the total output value has exceeded 100 million. Seedless wampee is not cultivated in China, with a total output value of 820 million yuan.
Yunan County, Guangdong Province, is also known as "the hometown of seedless wampee in China". The two mother trees of Zeng Naizhen's old house were also commemorated and protected. Next to the two trees, you can see a standing stone tablet engraved with "Mother of China's nuclear-free yellow skin", which exudes supreme brilliance.

Stable production and marketing, helping rural economic development
The soil and water in Guangdong have made seedless wampee and made great contributions to the development of rural economy in Yunan County.
As one of the representative villages, Convenience Village is the village with the largest number of seedless yellow skins, and it is also known as "the first village with seedless yellow skins in Yunnan" and "one village and one product demonstration village in China".
There are many large yellow bark growers in the convenience village. As the leading industry in the village, wampee has promoted the economic development of the village and realized the villagers' dream of getting rich.
Zhou Zhiyan is one of the big growers. As the legal representative of a seedless wampee professional cooperative, she led the village 12 farmers to contract and plant 60 mu of seedless wampee, and only one wampee can earn more than 100,000 yuan a year.

Zhou Zhiyan said that at first she just wanted to respond to the call of the village Committee and plant a few acres of yellow skin to subsidize her family. However, with the continuous promotion of superiors and the value of wampee itself, the popularity of seedless wampee is getting higher and higher, and the demand is increasing.
Therefore, Zhou Zhiyan set up a cooperative with other villagers, and she wanted to plant yellow skin wholeheartedly with everyone. The yellow skin market, which is full of troubles, continues to rise, and Zhou Zhiyan's planting output is getting better and better.
In an interview with Southern Rural News, Zhou Zhiyan said that she was not worried about Huangpi's sales at all. Every year before Huang Bei matures, that is, before July and August, she can receive pre-orders
Moreover, many customers are acquaintances, and under the introduction of customers, the customer base continues to expand. After Huangpi produced and sold, Zhou Zhiyan's family built a new house and bought a new car.
Huangpi fruit planting
Yi Pinlin, a villager, used to be a poor household in the village. Before planting yellow skin, the couple could only make a living by doing odd jobs, with an annual income of less than 10 thousand. With the help of governments at all levels, Yi Pinlin also planted yellow skins, and all four acres of yellow skins were sold out. Yi Pinlin said that she can earn more than 30,000 yuan. Yellow skin is like this, helping Yipinlin to get rid of poverty smoothly.
According to the local villagers' experience in selling wampee, wampee is a kind of fruit with little price fluctuation, and the better the quality, the higher the price. And compared with citrus and other fruits, it is better to take care of.
Villager Zeng Minqiang's family successfully sent their two daughters to college after planting oranges instead of yellow peels.
Today, there are five professional cooperatives in Convenience Village, Yunan County, which carry out wampee planting. In the upcoming yellow skin listing season, it will definitely be another bumper harvest, and the villagers' income will be more considerable.

abstract
The abundant light, heat and water resources in the south make many characteristic fruits grow in the south, and wampee is one of them. What Guangdong's son-in-law found after returning to her old house can be described as boundless merits. There is even a saying that if you want to quickly distinguish between the north and the south, give them a string of yellow skins and you will know the result.
Although it doesn't have the unique appearance of durian and litchi, it seems that the ordinary yellow peel has a history of 1500 years, and it is known as the "treasure of fruit" among the people.
First of all, when the wampee is ripe, it can not only be eaten raw, but also processed into sauces, drinks, preserves and other foods. The seeds of wampee are also valuable and rich in oil, with an oil yield of 42%. You know, the oil yield of rapeseed specially used for oil extraction is only 30% ~ 45%.
wampee
In ancient times, wampee was regarded not only as fruit, but also as medicine. Because besides the pulp of wampee is rich in VC and various organic acids, the peel and stone of wampee can also be used as medicine. The main function of drugs is to treat gastrointestinal discomfort, such as invigorating stomach, promoting digestion, resolving phlegm and regulating qi.
Today, wampee has become one of the high-quality rare fruits worthy of the name, which can be regarded as the "top flow" fruit among network celebrities, so it has also become a geographical symbol of Yunan, Nanning and other regions in Guangdong.
Fruit farmers also realized the economic benefits of wampee by planting wampee. The discovery of Guangdong's son-in-law is also kind.
