Peach should be the most common fruit in summer. From the beginning of June, some small peaches have been on the market and are sold along the streets by vendors. Each one looks like it has not fully grown yet, and is not attractive enough to be displayed on the table. It is simply incomparable to the nectarines, peaches, and peach peaches that follow one after another. People don't think much of them, and they can only use them to satisfy their cravings secretly, and the latter can be put into plastic bags grandly and carried to give away, or put on a fruit plate and placed on the coffee table to entertain guests.
I remember when I was a child, peaches didn’t seem to have such varieties or qualities, but I still had the memory of eating peaches.
The peach handed over from my mother’s hand has a beautiful color of red, red and white. When I hold it in my hand, the skin has not broken yet, and even before I enter my mouth, I can smell a good smell. the taste of. Like my mother said, gently peel off the skin and bite into it. It is juicy, and the flesh has a soft texture and a plump texture. Sweet fluid started flowing from the corners of her mouth, flowing through her fingers, onto her elbows, and then dripped onto the floor.
Mom said, this is the famous peach.
Nibbling on a juicy peach gives you a slightly awkward feeling, similar to biting on a watermelon. You have to squat or sit (on a small bench) and are confined to a corner. It cannot be eaten like other fruits. You can lie down or walk, and you can eat it in a more elegant posture. In front of a juicy fruit, you have to bend down, bury your head, or even suck your fingers and tongue, allowing yourself to temporarily give up your reserve and choose a low-key fall.
When I was younger, I liked eating crisp peaches. No peeling, just rough scrubbing to remove the fine hairs on the skin and then nibbling. With such sweet and crisp peaches, and using this bold and slightly rough eating method, you can eat two or three in one go.
Once I went to the market to buy peaches, and an old woman next to me, while watching us choose peaches, murmured: You are young and like to eat crispy ones, but we old people cannot eat crispy peaches...
While listening, I felt: Yes, it seems that I am gradually less fond of eating crispy peaches, and gradually returned to liking the big, soft and juicy texture that I ate as a child. . Maybe people's tastes are also quietly changing with time and age.
The peach peach, which is between soft and hard, seems to be more in line with my current taste. When this variety of peach was first launched, I thought it was called "beer peach" for a long time, and I wondered why it got this name. Is it because it needs to be watered with beer? Later, I learned its real name, and felt that the name was quite vivid. Each one is as big as an adult male's fist and is round and round. Aren't they just small rubber balls? But now I can't eat a peach at one time, so I need to share it with the beans.
Perhaps as people age, their stomachs shrink, or their demand for fruits decreases. Yes, when I was young, I felt that eating fruit was far more important than eating. I didn’t have to eat for a day, but I had to eat fruit. Now, I feel like I won’t think too much if I don’t eat fruit for a day or two.
Chengdu Longquan is a very famous peach base. It is the production and sales place of the most delicious peaches according to word of mouth among the Chengdu population. In spring, peach blossoms bloom from tree to tree. Looking from a distance, the hills and fields are covered in bright red, like floating clouds and mist. The peach trees in Longquan are all low. During the peach picking season, it seems that if you raise your head and raise your hands a little, you can encounter a bright red peach among the peach branches.
Last week, I went to Jinan to study. What left a deep impression, apart from the warm and scorching sun in Qilu, was the nectarines sold in the small supermarket of the hotel. In the past, I only knew that Shandong’s large cherries were famous (before Sichuan’s local cherries came on the market, many large cherries from Yantai, Shandong were sold on the market), but I didn’t know that nectarines were equally delicious. This time I learned a lesson. The nectarines we have here have a good-looking appearance, but generally have a light taste, and some are even slightly sour. The nectarines in Shandong may be related to the abundant sunshine there. They are juicy and delicious. They are one of the best peaches I have eaten this year.
This year is a small year for the two peach trees on the office platform, and so is the plum tree. Except for those that were eaten by birds and ants and fell off naturally, only five or six were picked, and they were small and tasteless. This may be related to the heavy rain this year. There is a saying that the occasional rain will dilute the sweetness of the fruit. is that true? Maybe it’s not so, after all, I still had some delicious peaches this year.
