Second, the production steps and related knowledge
Sticking apples, also known as artistic apples, is a natural expression of works of art such as calligraphy, stick figure and paper-cutting. The production process of pasting artistic apples includes complex steps such as pattern design, shading pattern paper making, green and pollution-free fruit bagging, fruit picking, apple screening, pattern pasting, fruit picking, fruit turning, sunlight irradiation, fruit picking, pattern picking, fruit selection, grading packaging and the like. Because the pen and ink of calligraphy and painting block the sunlight, all kinds of golden patterns or calligraphy works are baked on the surface of red apples when the fruits are harvested. Cartoon animals and zodiac animals are lifelike, vivid and lovely, and all kinds of calligraphy are clear and lifelike. "Fulu Xi Shou" expresses good wishes, and "Good luck" conveys sincere feelings.
Production and development history of apple paste
Sticking art apples is a masterpiece of Qixia farmers. Since 1992, Qixia fruit farmers have tried to plant artistic apples in Zangjiazhuang Town and Shewobo Town. After years of trial and exploration, Qixia fruit farmers finally produced healthy, fashionable, auspicious products full of Jiaodong culture. Under the influence of Qixia Art Apple, many provinces in China began to plant art apples. Thanks to the joint efforts of Wang, Li Ning and many Qixia sons and daughters for more than ten years, Qixia Apple has leapfrogged all the way, and now it has become a well-deserved leading enterprise in the apple industry in China and a leader in the apple field in the world. With the establishment of pollution-free agricultural products testing project by the Ministry of Agriculture in Qixia in 2009, Qixia apple has reached a new height on the basis of the safe production of green fruits established for many years. It's not spring that stands out. Qixia Apple has been carrying the banner of the century-old prosperity of Yantai Apple family with brothers such as Zhaoyuan Apple, Penglai Apple, Haiyang Apple and Mu Ping Apple. This is also the crystallization of many years' hard work of President Pei Ce of Yantai Apple Association.
