10 golden month, both sides of Qujiang presented the scene of "orange ripe and yellow incense full of trees". Walking in the orange forest, smelling the warm orange fragrance, makes people relaxed and happy; Pick one and try it. Sweet and sour. Friends from other places should be drooling when they hear this. I think this also makes sense, because oranges are famous products in Quzhou!
Oranges are oblate or round, and golden yellow when they are ripe. They are hung on the treetops, which are in harmony with the evergreen leaves and have a unique flavor. As a result, many literati became extremely excited about poetry. "I especially love thousands of kumquat trees, and the scenery is endless." This is a beautiful poem left by Sun Xiong, a poet in the Qing Dynasty.
Oranges vary in size, generally 5 cm in diameter, weighing two or three times, and about half a catty in size, which is almost equivalent to the weight of a grapefruit. The orange peel is fresh and moist, with smooth protrusions on it. The bulge contains a lot of orange peel oil, which can extract the essence. This is the source of orange fragrance. Peel off the orange peel, revealing petals of orange flesh, each petal is just a semicircle, next to each other, forming a sphere. The surface of orange pulp is covered with orange compound and lined with orange film. There are two orange films with a joint line in the middle. The orange-red film separates along the joint line, revealing the pulp that is close to each other like a fine needle. There is also a film outside the "fine needle", which is full of juice. Orange collaterals and orange peel have the functions of moistening lung, resolving phlegm, relieving cough and asthma, and are very effective Chinese medicines.
Citrus blossoms in early summer, once a year; Flowers are white, with five petals embedded in green leaves, attracting countless butterflies and bees. Fruiting after flowering, green and sour when immature; It was not until late autumn that oranges entered maturity and turned orange. Zhu Yizun in Qing Dynasty said: "The vegetation is green in summer and yellow in autumn." I wrote this.
Quzhou is the hometown of oranges. The scenery on both sides of Qujiang River is described in Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty: "There are Zhi Zhu, local chronicles and Manglietia, mixed with frost chrysanthemum and kumquat in Qingxi on the shore of Jia 'an. "It can be seen that as early as 1500 years ago, Quzhou began to grow oranges.
Quzhou has a high output of oranges, and the airport in the west of the city is rich in oranges. Oranges are ripe. Looking around expressway in the airport, golden oranges can be seen hanging heavily on the technical head. According to records, oranges from Huangbu (Hangbu) in Xixiang during the Ming and Qing Dynasties paid tribute to the imperial court every year. Today's orange production is of course to meet the needs of the broad masses of the people. For example, in the orange harvest season, if a friend comes to Quzhou as a guest, enthusiastic Quzhou people will certainly offer some Quzhou oranges to satisfy their appetite, and perhaps take them to a flight port to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Quzhou orange forest!
