The most common is this kind of imperial girl, which is sweet, juicy, refreshing and has a high vc content. It is very popular with young girls and children. Summer and autumn are its rich seasons. It used to be a small wild berry in Shan Ye, with high edible value. It has been planted in large quantities and has become a local specialty fruit with local characteristics and economic value. Besides being eaten directly, it can also be canned, preserved and pickled.
* There is also a kind of red mushroom Niang, which is more common. Its maturity is a little later than that of Huangmo Niang, and its peel is thicker. It has a special sweet and sour taste. It is a Chinese herbal medicine, which can relieve cough, reduce phlegm and reduce fire. (It is also said that it can lower blood pressure. ) It often boils water with its peel as an adjuvant therapy for chronic cough. It is also used to soak honey in its fruit and eat a little every day to prevent colds, coughs and tracheitis. There are many folk remedies.
* There is also a rare purple mushroom niang, whose fruit is bigger, just like a slightly smaller green tomato. Its skin is purple when cooked, and it tastes a bit strange. A little toxic. When you eat immature fruit in your mouth, your tongue will feel a little numb. Most people don't like it, so it has no economic value (maybe, but it hasn't been discovered, haha), so no one will develop and plant it. There were a lot of them 20 years ago, but now even the old people say they can't find them in the fields long ago, and they may be extinct. I still miss its taste. Fruits were rare 20 years ago, and it is really rare to eat such small wild fruits. ) 。
* I know so much about the small fruit in Northeast China-Mushroom Niang.
In a foreign supermarket, I suddenly found a box of "Mushroom Niang"-golden berries from the northeast of China. I am so excited. I bought two boxes of 600 grams for 50 yuan, which is super expensive. What does it matter if you are expensive? This is a local product of my hometown, which reminds me of infinite homesickness and good memories of my childhood. .......
* * I remember when I was a child, every summer, little green mushroom girls would quietly go to the market. There were often some old ladies carrying a small basket with many little green mushroom girls squatting near the school gate to sell them. Almost all girls will buy it, peel off the green peel, pull it out, knead the fruit with their hands to make it soft, then poke a small hole at the joint between the fruit and the peel with a toothpick or stick and slowly squeeze out the seeds. Blow the empty peel into a small green bubble ball, put it between the tip of the tongue and the teeth, and gently squeeze out the air with the lips, teeth and the tip of the tongue. It will make a cooing sound repeatedly when sucked up, which is very fun. Almost all northeast women play like this when they are young. * * *
