Qiu Qianchi's hands and feet were broken, and in a deep underground pit more than 30 meters deep, he not only lived for more than ten years, but also cultivated a unique school. Spit out a jujube pit and hit it wherever you point. It's more accurate than a bullet.

Of course, this is the plot in the novel. After all, in the novel, the heroes can eat a few pounds of beef, a few fat chickens and drink 20 pounds of wine at a time, and they can also eat rice for days or even dozens of days. Therefore, we can't refer to the meaning of whether jujube can feed people according to the plot of the novel.

However, jujube has an unusual complex for many people born after 70. But at the same time, can you live 10 years by eating dates?

In the late 1950s, Iraq just established diplomatic relations with China. At that time, the relationship between the United States and Iran was tense and economic sanctions were imposed, so a large number of dates that were originally exported could not be sold.

In order to reflect the international spirit, our country used a small amount of foreign exchange to buy dates from them under the very difficult situation of the national economy.

This kind of date palm is orange and translucent, and it is a little waxy, like preserved in sugar water, similar to candied fruit. And the appearance is sticky, wet and easy to stick together. But there is an advantage, that is, the meat is thick and sweet, so sweet. There is a crack in the jujube skin, and the jujube stone is particularly easy to separate from the jujube meat.

Therefore, although this kind of jujube is very different from our traditional jujube. But it has a resounding name, called? Iraqi dates? .

It was during the planned economy in the 1960s and 1970s, and it was one of the few that could be purchased without a ticket, and it was very cheap? Snacks? . Because? Iraqi dates? The sugar content is very high, even reaching 70%. Generally, the sugar content of fruit reaches 10-20%, which makes people feel very sweet. Now, if you eat one date with this sugar, you will never have the courage to try the second one. However, in the previous material difficulties, it was ordinary people who had a very good effect on solving hunger and hypoglycemia in hard days. Therefore, it has become a profound memory for generations.

I wonder if Jin Yong made this creation because of this inspiration at that time?
