If it must be divided equally, Yangmei is still the first choice. I like the taste of sweetness with a little acid. As long as it is in your mouth, it seems that you can render the whole summer.
As a northerner, my impression of Yangmei is still half addicted to records and half addicted to legends.
The description in the book "Red with green branches, blooming in Qianwu" and "Myrica rubra is full of forests in May, and at first it is suspected that one branch is worth a thousand dollars" has brought the color and fragrance of Myrica rubra to the extreme.
Whether it is the story of Wu Sangui and Yangmei in Jingzhou, Hunan Province, which leads to the story of Xun Mei quenching thirst, or the story of weeping Yangmei for a stone, people are always immersed in the unfinished business.
In reality, there is another story about Yangmei:
"Nanchang is my second hometown, and my four years there have my best memories.
I still remember the first time I ate bayberry. Sweet and sour, and the juice is great. It's too hot in Nanchang in summer, so I don't want to go out and walk. The thought of this mouthful of plum makes me lose my appetite. You rode into town, bought a big basket of bayberry, and asked the girl upstairs to send it up.
At that time, we didn't have much money, and eating was particularly distressing. I also complained that you shouldn't buy so much, just try a little less, but you said you liked it.
I was standing at the window, eating this cold plum and looking downstairs. You asked me happily, is it delicious? At that time, Yangmei was not only delicious, but also very sweet, and it was full of happiness in the mouth.
Later, when I left Nanchang, I never ate such delicious Yangmei again. At that time, no amount of money could buy Yangmei.
Until now, you personally went to the orchard to pick fruits, brought back the freshest and most delicious bayberry, and finally ate the old bayberry.
And that moving Myrica rubra is a taste memory, engraved in my bones, with emotion and temperature, which makes me unforgettable, timeless and exudes a different flavor. "
In this way, in the beautiful voice of Yangmei girl, Yangmei's story has been sublimated.
Myrica rubra not only has high edible value, but also has considerable medicinal value.
Its roots, bark and fruit can be used as medicine. Roots and barks are bitter in taste, warm in nature, sweet and sour in fruit, and flat in nature, and enter the lung and stomach meridians.
Roots and bark are used as the main materials for external treatment of traumatic injuries, fractures, dysentery, gastric and duodenal ulcers, toothache, bleeding, burns and scalds. Fruits have the function of promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, and are used for dry mouth and loss of appetite.
If you have eaten bayberry fruit and have some left over, it is also a good choice to make some bayberry wine.
As early as the end of Yuan Dynasty, the ancients recorded the making of Yangmei wine, and the literature can be traced back to Compendium of Materia Medica.
Myrica rubra wine is made of Myrica rubra, white wine and rock sugar in a certain proportion.
It has a unique taste, rich fragrance and mellow taste, and is a drink for people to relieve summer heat and quench their thirst.
If you have more leisure time, making dried bayberry or preserved bayberry as a snack will have a different flavor.
About Yangmei, after telling its legend, pharmacology and drinking, the story continues, that is, the boy and girl in the realistic version of Yangmei story finally get married, which makes a story.
The extended version of the Yangmei story has achieved a vigorous career.
At this point, I couldn't help but stop the figure of Yangmei boy:
When I was a child, Yangmei was my love and heart.
When you become a man, baskets of bayberry are a promise and a responsibility;
And when a red bayberry is handed over to the guests after many hardships and thousands of choices, it becomes a trust and a good faith.
It is also because of this friendship that the quality of Yangmei is fixed, just like the original sweetness in Yangmei's story.
Then this love was passed on. ...
