When I mention tomatoes, my heart is filled with memories.
The most vivid image in my memory is of going to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables with my mother.
The tomatoes at that time were thin-skinned, juicy, sweet and sour, and left an endless aftertaste.
When I was a child, people took care of the vegetable garden carefully.
There were no chemical fertilizers at that time and human urine and feces were often used.
Although it looks dirty, the vegetables that grow are delicious.
Tomatoes are often ready for picking when they are nine-layer ripe, and my mother would give me the reddest ones every time.
After breaking it open, there seemed to be a lot of small crystals on it, which made people salivate.
Sometimes you just take a small bite on the top of the tomato and suck the juice inside. It is sour and sweet, and sweet but sour.
I don’t know since when, the tomatoes I loved to eat as a child also changed.
The skin of the tomatoes has become thicker and harder, and there is less juice inside. They taste neither sweet nor sour.
Last time I went to the vegetable market and bought some tomatoes. They have been kept in the corner of the kitchen for half a month without spoiling. This may be its advantage... In fact, tomatoes with good taste can only be found in the vegetable gardens of rural people.
have.
Tomatoes grown in greenhouses in rural areas are also the type with hard and thick skin.
Tomatoes with good taste are juicy, thin and easily damaged, and cannot withstand transportation and storage. Therefore, this kind of tomatoes can only be found in home gardens.
In our village, tomatoes with good taste are grown in almost every household’s vegetable garden.
Do you have tomatoes in your garden?
What varieties do you grow?
Hello, I am a little Nian who loves food.
When I was a child, there were all kinds of vegetables and fruits in the backyard of my grandma’s house, including apricot trees, sand fruit trees, and small cherry trees. Next to the cherry trees were bean seedlings, eggplants, and peppers, and there were several rows of tomato seedlings next to them.
Because it’s just a small piece of land, no pesticides are used, it just grows naturally, with occasional watering.
I watched small yellow flowers blooming on the green seedlings of tomatoes. Then after a while, the flowers fell, and small green and slightly white tomatoes grew. After a few days, I looked at them and the small persimmons suddenly became bigger.
.
There are various different shapes. I really like the ones with high tops on both sides, so they are easy to open when eating.
When I was a child, I probably couldn't wait until it was completely red, but it just started to turn a little red, and maybe there was still a little bit of green in a small area not facing the sun, so I couldn't wait to pick it off without washing it, and then opened it directly.
The flesh is already red, and tiny droplets of water appear in the tissue inside. We call it Qisha. When you eat it in your mouth, it will taste slightly sweet, and the full juice will flow down the corners of your mouth to your chin, and the skin is also very soft.
It's so thin that you can barely feel it.
Don't know the concept of skin.
The tomatoes of my childhood are gone forever along with the memories.
Nowadays, when buying vegetables in the market, you will choose the ones that are good-looking. After you put them at home for a few days, they will still be quite solid. Generally, they are rarely eaten raw. They are basically scrambled eggs.
I had a beef meal, but I always felt that the skin was hard and the taste of my childhood was long gone.
Tomatoes were delicious when I was a child, not because there weren’t many kinds of food at that time and there wasn’t much to eat.
Rather, we give a plant enough time to grow and mature naturally, and its delicious taste is just its original taste.
Today's society wants everything to be done quickly and cannot give a plant such patience. Tomatoes are picked before they are ripe and shipped to all parts of the country. Of course, the advantage of this is that we have forgotten what to eat in which season, because in which season, fruits
Vegetables will not be scarce, you can eat whatever you want.
