But in the countryside, in addition to these, the countryside will have different scenery in different seasons.
Especially now, it is also ready to fall, and it is another season of crazy fruit eating.
There are all kinds of fruits in the countryside, some of which run through our memories of growing up.
But in rural areas, the economic development was not very good before, and it was difficult to eat fresh fruits.
However, nature can give back a lot to the countryside.
Especially in autumn, fruits abound, which is a natural gift that cannot be realized in reinforced concrete in big cities.
The childlike interest in the growth of rural children lies in the wild fruits in the countryside, and no fruit is full of memories.
I. Mulberry
Mulberry is very common in the hometown of mountains. When the fruit is ripe, purple and black strings hang on the branches.
The fruit is oval, 1-3cm long, and the surface is not smooth.
Black mulberries are sweeter, and purple or red mulberries will be a little sour.
Mulberry is rich in anthocyanins and resveratrol, which has good anti-cancer and anti-aging effects.
In rural areas, old people often say that "eating more mulberries is helpful for beauty."
But now there are few wild mulberries, and most of them are planted by themselves.
Second, Castanea henryi
Castanea henryi is also a kind of chestnut, which has the effects of nourishing stomach and strengthening spleen, tonifying kidney and strengthening tendons, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding, and is flat and sweet.
Castanea henryi tastes softer and harder to peel than chestnut.
When I was a child, when I was frying rice chestnuts, everyone would fry them, just to peel them better when eating.
Third, the turning point
Nianzi, also known as "Myrtle".
Most of this fruit grows in rural areas and roadsides in Shan Ye.
When I was a child, when I followed the old man up the mountain to release cattle and cut firewood, I often saw that one pick was a big bag.
The fruit of the mill looks like a small wine glass, and there is a core in the fruit that looks like a bug.
Zongzi is purple-black when cooked and tastes sweet.
In that era when snacks and fruits were scarce, adults and children liked to eat them.
Children, in particular, always like to grab a handful and put it in their mouth, making it dark all around.
Four. oil orange
When it comes to this kind of wild fruit, friends in the south are certainly no strangers.
The fruit of Phyllanthus emblica, also called "Niu Gan Guo", is sour and bitter at first, but it will feel sweet and fragrant after eating.
In the season when fruits are ripe, many children like to eat them with laundry baskets, which can be eaten raw or soaked for a longer time.
Five, hawthorn
Although native hawthorn is also a kind of hawthorn, it is not similar to ordinary hawthorn in appearance.
Hawthorn looks like an apple, so some people call it "wild apple" in some areas.
The native hawthorn is relatively small, so eating it directly will have a bitter feeling.
Generally, it will be washed after picking and cooked with rock sugar, which will taste sweeter.
The intransitive verb Calligonum
Calligonum mongolicum, shaped like a Chinese character, is also called papaya in rural areas.
Its fruit is very sweet and has a special fragrance.
Papaya is distributed in most parts of southern China. Fruit is seedless and rich in pulp, which can be eaten raw and used for soup.
Seven, Rosa roxburghii
Rosa roxburghii is a kind of fruit, which is still common in rural areas of Shan Ye and can be picked on many mountain roads.
The thorns of Rosa roxburghii will look so dense that people dare not eat them.
But in fact, this kind of food with thorns belongs to soft meat thorns, and even if it is eaten in the mouth, it will not feel prickly.
Bite it down, sour and crunchy, especially the sour one, and go straight to the forehead.
Eight, black olives
Black olive is also called black olive in rural areas, and the fruit tree of black olive belongs to a kind of evergreen tree.
Olives are blunt at both ends and the fruit is purple-black.
The fruit of black olive can be used to pickle vegetables. In the south, many old people like to pickle olives.
In summer, it is used as a porridge dish.
However, unlike other fruits, black olives cannot be eaten directly after being picked from trees, and need to be washed with salt water for processing.
Summary:
Wild fruit in rural areas is a happy childhood memory of the generation after 1980s and 1990s.
In the past, living conditions were hard, but wild fruits in the countryside and mountains were the source of happiness every day.
These fruits mentioned in this paper are all common wild fruits in rural areas. Now that someone is in autumn, we might as well choose a holiday to go back to our hometown and taste the wild fruits of childhood in big cities.
