My friend, after I came back from your hometown-the famous plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, I was still impressed by the endless vast expanse, criss-crossing rivers, dotted lakes and rich products. I still remember the places I have been to, the beautiful scenery I have been to, the cultural landscape I have been to and the people I have met.
I am lucky to have been to your rich hometown. What about you? Have you been to my lovely hometown Zhanjiang? You are kidding! Then please have a look at the following set of photos I sent you. You must know something about our rural products in Zhanjiang, and maybe you will be impressed.
The plants in this photo are amazing, interesting, beautiful and lovely! Nature is not the creator! This is a wonderful pitcher plant, which can catch insects. When we were young, we called Bo Gong (Di Gong) Dou, also called Monkey Dou, and stuffed rice into it to steam rice, just like people in Zhuxiang steamed bamboo rice. Besides, I just use it to make herbal tea. If you want to know more, you might as well ask Du Niang.
Although I am seventy years old and have experienced many vicissitudes, my face is wrinkled and my memory is good! I remember Jane's wild princess once said that she likes jackfruit best. The following two photos are the fruitful jackfruit that can be seen everywhere in rural Zhanjiang.
You see, that short branch has borne more than ten fruits. If it is an old tree, even the branches and main roots exposed to the ground will be full of fruits. Does this jackfruit also have the idea of having more children? Then I don't know, because no matter how to ask it, it plays dumb. Funny, wood can still talk? But its wood can be used to make musical instruments. Oh, it can make a sound.
This jackfruit is divided into dry bag, wet bag and semi-dry bag. Dry bag is sweet and crisp, wet bag is sweet and tender, semi-dry bag has both, and the entrance is slippery. Restaurants and restaurants use dry-packed jackfruit with other fried pork bellies, such as tremella, parsley, lily, cashew nuts or macadamia nuts. It's really delicious. Many people like to eat this dish.
Look down again, I'm afraid your mouth is full of saliva, moistening your throat and swallowing it. Look at the immature mango, like a green duck egg, covered with branches. Before this mango ripens, its skin is green and sour. Once it is ripe, its skin turns orange and it is sweet.
If you are an elderly person, you will surely remember that decades ago, this mango was as precious as Zengcheng Gualv Litchi and Feizixiao in Guo Jia, Lingnan, and it was hard to find one. Now, with the development of history and the progress of society, these beautiful fruits of Lingnan have been planted in a large area, and the transportation is so convenient and the logistics is unimpeded. I think this mango is like a cantaloupe pear when it comes to us. Friends in the northeast and northwest have long known its taste.
The best fruits in Lingnan are guava, Hongjiang orange, banana, plantain, pitaya, pineapple, wampee, wax gourd and lemon. There are also litchi, longan, carambola, orange, Sanhua plum and other fruits without pictures. I won't introduce them one by one.
In this era of internet plus, products from all over the world are unimpeded, and you may have tasted the beautiful fruits of these Lingnan villages long ago. I just like to often go to the countryside to take these photos and share them with you. May you
Happy and happy life!
