Every Year in May, when you go out to climb the mountain, you will often encounter red wild fruits, which are good in color and taste, and attract people to salivate.
Pick and eat, mountain treasure wild game, sweet and sour, happy in the journey.
Raspberries, fluffy mushrooms, hollow nuts, snakeberries, sorghum bubbles, are extremely similar in appearance, and for a long time, people often confused similar wild fruits.
In particular, raspberry, fluffy, hollow and snake berries, the hue and ripening period of the fruit are about the same, and they have seen more, and they have gradually understood that this thing is not the other, and the difference is still obvious.
Raspberries, mostly grown in Jiangnan, woody plants, there are barbs on the branches, so it is also called hanging hooks, and because it grows on trees, it is also called raspberries and raspberries.
The Erya Shicao records: "茥, 蒛葐. That is, raspberries, which are like berries and small and edible."
The fruit of the raspberry ripens with a slight yellowish tinge, an orange-yellow between red and yellow, with thorns on the branches, and must be picked with care.
The fruit of the raspberry protrudes from the small beads on the surface, just as Mr. Lu Xun wrote like small balls made of small corals.
Mr. Lu Xun wrote in "From the Hundred Grasslands to the Sanwei Bookhouse" that the hundred grasslands with endless pleasures, "If you are not afraid of thorns, you can pick raspberries, like small balls made of small coral beads, sour and sweet, and the color and taste are far better than mulberries."
Lu Xun's hundred grasslands, Yingzhi went to three times, but did not find raspberry plants.
Pongyu (lěi), also known as wild strawberries, mostly born in Jiangnan, the countryside people generally call it: seedlings, red seedlings, golden seedlings, bright red when ripe, attractive, everyone likes to pick and eat, so it is also called ground picking.
The plants are also shrubs, shorter than raspberry plants, and the fruit is generally larger than that of raspberries, with whiskers on the surface and small beads more prominent.
Pengzhi can also be eaten with confidence, sweet and sour, sweet and sour, yingzhi has taken children to eat raspberries many times, infinite joy.
Hollow arvedic (pāo), the inside is hollow, so it is also called hollow bubble, the flesh is soft, and it does not taste as good as fluffy.
Hollow and fluffy, whether it is plants, leaves, or fruits, are extremely similar, the stems are thorny, easy to confuse, including Yingzhi has long been mixed.
Carefully identified, the difference is still obvious, the beads on the surface of the fluffy are more prominent than the surface of the hollow arvense, the most important is the hollow inside the hollow, softer.
Snakeberries, also known as snake bubbles, are highly similar in appearance to hollow grasses, but snakeberries are herbaceous plants
Yingzhi grew up in the countryside, from childhood to listen to the teachings of the elders, do not eat snake bubbles, said that snakes crawled, but also spit, and so on, Yingzhi has also seen with his own eyes, snake berries have white foam, is it really the spit of snakes?
Therefore, snakeberries are not loved by people, and they are intimidated, and Yingzhi has never eaten them.
Snakeberry plants are spineless, so snakes often haunt snakeberries in places where they are ripe.
What the elders said, the snake spit after crawling, may still have a basis and reason.
Raspberries, fluffy, hollow grass, plants are all thorny, so snakes avoid it and can be eaten with confidence.
There is also a kind of red wild fruit is also very similar, called sorghum bubble, the most obvious difference is the ripening season is different, sorghum bubble autumn ripe, so also called October seedlings, cold bubble thorn, commonly known as thorn bubble.
Sorghum-bubble plants are also covered with thorns, so be extra careful when picking, so as not to hurt the hands, the fruit is sweet and sour, can be appetizing.
Sorghum can be soaked in wine, raw fruit soaked in wine aroma, a cup even a few miles.
In Zuoxikeng Village, Xikou Town, Fenghua District, Yingzhi once saw the reclusive old man picking sorghum bubbles and brewing his own wine.
Sorghum bubbles can also be made with homemade wild jam.
Pour the sorghum pickled fruit into the pot, do not add water, simmer over a warm heat, add rock sugar, honey and maltose, simmer for two or three hours, until viscous, it becomes sorghum soaked wild jam.
The jam was eaten on bread and was very tasty.
Wild fruits in the mountains can not be sought, and if you go specifically to find them, you may not be able to achieve your wishes.
Inadvertently discovered, even more surprising.
