It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River and asked about the local specialties of Liyang, the bachelor Shi Yizhi (a native of Liyang) once replied: "Maojian Huahong Tangxia Melon." It can be seen that Maojian Huahong is one of Liyang's traditional local products.
Maojian has been producing bonuses for nearly six years.
The hometown of Huahongshu is on the East Dongting Mountain beside Taihu Lake.
There are beautiful lakes and mountains, a beautiful environment, and are rich in fruit trees, such as "East Mountain Loquat" and "West Mountain Bayberry". Huahong is also one of the products.
(Changzhou) This kind of resort with mountains and rivers is suitable for people to gather and reproduce.
After the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the large number of people and the lack of land, people gradually moved out.
There was a fruit farmer named Xi who moved to Maojian Village in Liyang.
He brought several fruit saplings and transplanted them in front of the village and behind the village, including two mangrove trees.
Most of the fruit trees he transplanted survived, thrived, bloomed and bore fruit, but the fruits could not maintain their original flavor from the East Dongting Mountains.
There are only two red trees that not only grow vigorously, but also produce red flowers that are far superior in shape and taste to those native to Dongting Mountain.
As soon as it hit the market, the price was high and the sales were smooth, so the bonus became the preferred specialty side business in Maojian area.
This kind of fruit is round and slightly flat, with an oily and whitish appearance, yellowish inside, and a blush in the yellow. It smells fragrant, is crispy in the mouth, has tender meat without residue, is moderately sweet and sour, and has a color, aroma and taste that are unmatched by others.
Out of reach of fruit.
But only those produced near Maojian are of the highest quality.
Although it has been transplanted and developed in other areas such as Hengrun, the fruits produced cannot maintain the flavor characteristics of Maojian products.
Liyang also has other mass-produced fruits, such as peaches, plums, apricots, pears, etc.
However, eating too many peaches can cause abdominal pain, eating too many apricots can cause diarrhea, and eating too many red peaches can make people feel moisturized and comfortable, and there are no other adverse reactions without drinking water for a day.
In addition, people in Liyang often soak immature red flowers in white wine. After more than a year (the older the better), it can cure gastrointestinal diseases and is more effective against dysentery.
